◈ 295. [STAGE 11] Bonheter Deathloop
Killzone has a grandiose name, but when you look at it, there is nothing great about it.
After luring the monster to a point where the distance in a straight line from the castle wall is close by using the characteristics of the monster who wants to kill the nearest human.
From that point to the castle wall, wooden fences were placed in a zigzag pattern so that monsters could move while wasting as much movement as possible.
It is to wipe out those who waste time and come back round and round by fire fighters or by driving them into traps.
‘But making this maze is also the real pleasure of a defense game.’
Although I prefer a simple zig-zag maze.
Some users made a whirlpool labyrinth where you have to go round and round, while others made a very complicated real maze.
Isn’t it one of the true pleasures of a defense game to see the stupid monsters struggling and struggling in this maze and being knocked down one by one by the firepower of their allies?
Smack! Smack!
The bottom of the narrow path between the wooden fences was a muddy field.
I don’t know how the skeletons made of bones balance and move their bodies, but what is certain is that their legs aren’t that strong.
They had no choice but to move slowly on the way back and forth, and naturally they became good prey for our shooters.
Skeletons were hit by arrows, fell apart, got tangled together, and were swept away as a group by this side’s magic and artifact baptism.
Still, I managed to break through, building up a mountain with my bones, but
rumble!
I’m sorry. That’s a trap.
Skeleton warriors fell into the pit trap dug deep.
The cannons, which had been lined up in advance, poured out shells all at once into the pit.
pop! Beep!
The Skeleton Warriors who fell into the pit were literally burned without being able to find their bones. It’s nice to see that it’s hot.
Realizing that it would be difficult to advance towards the pit trap, the skeletons took a side road.
rattle! Clap! Charleureuk!
Ah, but I’m sorry. That too is a trap.
Spinning iron clubs protruding from between the wooden fences struck the skeletons’ shin bones.
With the sound of bones being crushed, the skeletons fell all at once.
It’s an incredibly ignorant structured device, but that’s also an artifact.
It’s N-grade and has low durability, and it stopped because it ran out of momentum after destroying a few skeletons.
The iron club artifact, entangled with piles of shattered skeleton bones, became a barricade in itself.
This is the advantage of low-level artifacts. Just use it once and throw it away.
pop! Kwadeuk! Kwajijik!
In addition to that, a jar with acid, an ironsmith artifact, a ballista, and a direct fire path welcomed the skeleton army.
The Skeleton Corps passed through the Death Loop kill zone with difficulty, being smashed here and broken there.
By the time they reached the castle wall after passing through this delightful theme park of traps, arrows and cannons, their number had shrunk to about fifty.
The Skeleton Marshal, who had broken through the kill zone at the forefront with a scorched and shattered appearance, fiercely lit his eyes.
The rest of the skeletons also grabbed their weapons while spraying terrible death.
Currently, the walls of the outpost here are not properly repaired. The place is empty enough for them to dig in.
“Since you’ve come a long way, you might want to go over the empty wall and slice some humans, but you monsters.”
I grinned.
“There may not be a castle wall here, but we have something similar?” It’s
scary to finish my words
… … !
Lucas pulled out the longsword from the scabbard and
stunned!
Evangeline, who had the Bone Lance and the Bone Shield attached to both arms, stepped forward.
My two strongest avant-garde took the lead, claiming to be the castle walls, while Damian and Junior prepared their own ranged attacks.
I also stood with my wand Maestro and pistol Agathe, one in each hand.
After our main party, the Punishment Unit and the Shadow Unit wait in turn.
If the Punishment Unit stops the skeletons passing us, the Shadow Unit will knock them down with firepower.
Also, there are reserve parties and soldiers waiting behind them, but I believe that they will not break through to that point.
《… !]
The skeleton marshal opened his mouth wide and let out a silent scream.
Do-do-do-do-!
I can’t hear it, but there must have been some order passed between the skeletons.
Fifty or so skeletons kicked off the ground all at once and ran toward us.
“Don’t let any of them into the hard-repaired outpost! Get rid of it-!”
At the same time as I shouted, Lucas and Evangeline rushed forward, and Damian’s sniping and Junior’s magic landed on the monsters’ heads.
***
The battle ended simply.
The power of the skeletons who were dispersed and defeated individually was shrunken, while our heroes were in perfect condition.
In front of Damian’s sniper junior’s magic shadow unit’s firepower projection, the skeletons became tattered.
Lucas and Evangeline’s punishment unit rushed to the guys in such a state and put an end to them.
“Whoop whoop whoop… .”
… Among them, it was Evangeline who performed an exceptionally outstanding performance.
For some reason, Evangeline, who was terribly enraged, showed off her terrifying fighting power.
Normally, among Lucas and Evangeline, who are close linemen, Lucas would play the attacking role and Evangeline would play the defensive role. Today was the opposite.
Lucas worked hard to protect his allies, and Evangeline was dropped like a bomb on enemy lines.
And Evangeline penetrated the skeletons with the Bone Lance, smashed them with the Bone Shield, headbutted with the Bone Helmet, and even fought with the Bone Armor’s Gauntlet and Greaves.
Lastly, Evangeline, who grabbed the skeleton marshal by the collar and smashed his lower jaw with her fist, muttered bloodily.
“I am… I hate bones… … .”
“… .”
“I am… I hate bones… … !”
I guess I still don’t like the set of bone equipment I’ve been forced to wear. Big hum.
Evangeline’s emerald eyes glistened and looked in my direction.
I quickly turned my head to the side. Still, isn’t the bone set equipment performance good? you look so old
I’m going to go to the middle of the day… … .
Finally, the Skeleton Marshal twists and tries to attack, but
“Be quiet!”
Wow!
When Evangeline hit the skull with her bone shield, she quietly collapsed to the floor.
“Whoa… .”
Evangeline, who roughly threw the completely silent Skeleton Marshal to the floor, laughed dejectedly and muttered.
“okay. Now I’m a bone hater… … It’s the Bone Hater.”
“… what?”
“what? Come to think of it, your middle name is also Bonheter… … ? You don’t like bones either… … ?”
“What are you saying?!”
For reference, my middle name is ‘Born Hater’.
‘Born haters’ ‘Born to hate’… means to some extent.
I wish any parent in the world would name their son like this, but anyway! My middle name has nothing to do with bones!
“Whoops. Seniors.”
Evangeline, who strode toward me, laughed dangerously through her bone helmet.
“From now on, please call me Evangeline ‘Bonhatter’ Cross… … ?”
“Now, stop kidding there! It’s kind of scary!”
“Whoa, kidding? This looks like a joke… … ?”
Hee hee hee! I forcibly put on bone armor, lifted bone weapons, and even dealt with bone monsters, and the taste went away!
Then Lucas approached, sighed, and intervened between Evangeline and me.
“In the Everblack Empire, middle names are only allowed for members of the royal family, Evangeline. Enough with the joke.”
“Sheesh. I just wanted to write the same nickname as you.”
The flirtatious Evangeline went off to kill the remaining skeletons while humming a strange hum of ‘Bonehater Bonheter~ I am Bonheter~’.
Looking at Evangeline’s back, hehe! Lucas cleared his throat and told me.
“All of a sudden, the enemies this time are skeletons, so Evangeline seems to be worried that she might look like a skeleton monster wearing bone armor.”
“Ah, so that’s how it happened… … .”
Actually, I was carrying a bone armor, a bone helmet, a bone weapon, and a bone shield, but a group of skeletons came out as enemies. It is also possible to feel a strange feeling.
“… It would have been better if you had exchanged armor for me and Evangeline.”
“Mmmmmm.”
We gave Lucas, who is a damage tank, and Evangeline, who is a pure tank, armor that suits their performance better. I didn’t know that Evangeline would dislike bone equipment that much.
Like Lucas said, maybe he should have given Evangeline the cooler Lucas armor.
“Would you like to change now? You can adjust the size at the forge.”
“no? I hate it. This is mine.”
Lucas refused with a single knife and hugged his armor carefully.
No then why did you bring it up man! Pretending to be broad, but merciless!
“Isn’t that the equipment your lord gave you? No one will give it to you. and… .”
Lucas narrowed his eyes and muttered.
“Isn’t it fun to watch Evangeline suffer?”
“… Somehow, it seems like you guys are becoming more and more like siblings.”
Anyway, aside from the armor issue.
Half of the Skeleton Corps was able to take down all of the guys who came to the forward base.
“I didn’t know the killzone was such an effective tactic.”
Lucas murmured as he inspected the dead monsters inside the Death Loop. I shrugged.
“It was eaten because the size of the monsters was small.”
This is a case where all the conditions are fortunately met.
“And it’s hard to install traps like this in front of the crossroads.”
The southern wall of the Crossroads is wide and spacious.
The terrain in front of the forward base here is narrow and narrow, so it was possible to place a small kill zone densely, but this kind of arrangement is impossible in the first place on the crossroads. So that’s why I haven’t done it in a while.
“… There must be some strategic tactics that can only be used here at the outpost.”
“yes. If we can manage this place properly, future defense battles will be much easier.”
In my absence, Lucas will assume the role of acting commander. I hope you use the killzone tactic well.
Lucas, who was looking towards Killzone, lost in thought, looked back at me with an ah sound.
“Anyway, lord. What about the other half that has already moved north? Right at the castle walls of the Crossroads?”
I grinned.
“There is another way.”
While repairing the outpost over the past few weeks.
I continued to ask Coco Granny to build teleport gates and was able to install 2 more teleport gates.
“You remember where I put those two gates?”
“of course. Didn’t you install them all on the way north from here to the Crossroads?”
One additional gate was installed at 1/3 and 2/3 of the way from the Black Lake to the Crossroads. Well hidden in the mountains well off the road.
The monsters took about 3 days to reach this road, so it was installed at a point of about a day or two at the speed of their advance.
“Oh no way… !”
A light of realization flashed across Lucas’ face. I nodded.
“We engage in guerrilla warfare, moving through the teleport gate while they honestly creep up north.”
Go north ahead of them through the teleport gate and ambush them.
When they arrive, attack them and run away through the teleport gate.
“There is no need to annihilate them in the process. Just take damage and fall.”
“Is this really the way… .”
“Now, the teleport gates are temporarily installed, and later in dozens of units. I will install them at every street corner.”
The monsters that came out of the Black Lake and came up north for three days.
It gnaws through the teleport gate like a guerrilla.
When they reach the crossroads, don’t let them use their full power. to keep the city safe.
‘Use a trick.’
in a mean way meanly. regardless of means and methods.
By mobilizing all the paths that could not be used in the game.
kill the monsters
protect people
“Of course, there will be legions of monsters that don’t work this way. There will be allies who fall into danger during the guerrillas.”
I nodded.
“But somehow optimize it. If an enemy that cannot be eaten appears, we find another way to bypass it.”
“… .”
“From now on, I will deal with monsters with this stance. Let me know if you have any good ideas, Lucas. got it?”
Lucas looked at me smiling and talking with a subtle expression.
A little wonder and… … .
It was such an expression mixed with a little worry.
