◈ 327. [Free Exploration] Imperial Declaration (2)
A fortress made of gray magic.
It is not very large and the height of the walls is low. It looks more like a small base rather than a fortress.
However, a clear fortress spreads out as if enclosing the area. I looked around in bewilderment. Wasn’t there a word like this in the skill description?
‘Perhaps this castle wall marks the range of my skill.’
If so, will this fortress expand as I grow and my skill proficiency goes up?
I wanted to take a closer look at the fort, but I couldn’t afford it.
[Conquest war begins soon.]
– Until the start:
This is because a guidance system window like this popped up in front of my eyes in the next 5 minutes.
As explained in my ultimate [Imperial Declaration], I used the skill in a hostile area, so it seems that the ‘occupation war’ was activated.
Now, if I just win this battle, the control of this whole area will be completely transferred to me… … !
Tring!
At that time, an additional detailed explanation about the rules of the occupation war came to mind.
[Conquest War – Area 1: Dry Drainage]
– You win by blocking three waves of monsters.
– In the monster wave, 3 random corps are selected from among the nearest monster corps.
– Boss level monsters are included in each wave.
“… ?”
what?
Aren’t you looking at it wrong now?
“There are three waves with boss-level monsters… ?”
Even if it was just a wave, I would be a little nervous, but such a crazy boss-level monster is included?
I bit my lip. If I had known this would happen, I would have brought another party… … !
“Lord?”
“Senior, why are you like that?”
Then Lucas and Evangeline asked in a worried voice. I suddenly came to my senses and looked back at my party members.
Along with the two strong knights standing in front of me, I saw a sniper and a wizard looking at the fort curiously.
My head went cold in an instant.
The 5 main party members currently dispatched here are the most elite among the elite that I have in name and reality.
In fact, the strongest hand I have after everyone has finished awakening. All of them are the heroes of Ikkidangcheon.
The total of the monster kill counts of the main party members has already reached four digits. To be concerned about the small number of cards you have in your hand.
‘Suffice. No, rather, it’s suitable for testing the performance of my ultimate skill!’
Fighting with only the main party, and if there is an empty part, I cover it with my ultimate.
Quickly formulating a rough tactic in my head, I looked back at the party members and nodded broadly.
“Okay everyone here! Please explain the current situation!”
I explained that we were in a pre-occupation situation, and waves of monsters would come soon, and if we defeated them, we could take over this place.
Even the fact that among the swarms of them were boss-level monsters.
The party members were surprised, but did not panic and immediately started preparing for a defensive battle. Indeed, they were like warriors who had gone through this hell with me.
Damian jumped up to find high ground for sniping, and Junior immediately began casting spells.
Lucas and Evangeline exchanged glances with each other, and each checked and shared the part of the defense on the wall.
I felt proud for no reason seeing the party members who performed their roles well without any coordination of conversations with no wasteful movements. old guys. You’ve grown a lot.
‘I should be faithful to my role too!’
There was one gate in the fortress made of magic. It was self-evident that monsters would flock here.
Standing on the wall above the gate, I took out magic cores from my inventory and scattered them around, shouting.
“Summons!”
Within my ultimate area, the limit on the number of summons disappears.
In other words- it means that you can summon defense towers indefinitely with only the magic core and building materials!
When I used the summoning magic, the entire castle wall unfolded like a 3D drawing in the system window, and places where turrets could be installed were displayed.
ok first… … .
“Shield turrets!”
An aggro tank tower that distracts the monsters and uses its body to receive attacks. shield turret.
Two to the left of the castle gate. two on the right. A total of four were summoned.
The drainpipes that made up the dungeon room were bent like candy and ripped out and began to form a turret.
Soon, a defense tower in the form of a large rectangular parallelepiped with ridges of shield-shaped armor thuds! thud! He made a sound and showed up.
Looking at the four shield turrets installed in a row, I felt a sense of security as if four bowls of hot soup were lined up in front of me.
It’s a reassurance that you can eat one bowl for dinner and continue to eat tomorrow morning, lunch, and dinner.
“Next is an automatic defense turret!”
Zuen Tong’s Auto Turret Auto Defense Turret!
Also installed four. On top of the ramparts to the left and right of the gate.
It is designed like a naval gun installed on a warship during World War II. Large and heavy cannons and gun barrels appeared.
Eight mana cores disappeared in an instant, but it was not the time to save them. In the original test, resources are not spared.
‘I want to install a magic turret too, but the research isn’t finished yet.’
The magic turret is a defense tower that applies various debuffs, including slowing, to monsters in a wide area.
I obtained the scroll the other day and requested a study at the alchemy workshop, but it will take more time to complete the study.
It’s a pity that I can’t use the 3-piece set at once, but I’ll finish installing the towers for now.
“And all the captured monsters come out!”
I called all three captured monsters that I had captured with my 2 skill [Become mine!] in every dungeon exploration, which was in a dedicated sub-space.
[Capture Monster: Lv.30 Skeleton Knight (R) has been summoned.]
[Capture Monster: Lv.35 Scorpion Warrior (R) has been summoned.]
[Capture Monster: Lv.40 Troll Royal Guard (SR) has been summoned. .]
Soon, skeletons, scorpions, and trolls emerged from the subspace one by one, stood in front of me, and quickly lowered their heads.
‘What is it, all three of them are very loyal?’
Somehow, everyone was more loyal than usual.
In particular, the Troll Royal Guard is an elite mob in its own way, so its loyalty was less than 20 right after it was captured. Now over 70.
I wondered why, but I soon found the reason. It was the effect of the [Imperial Declaration].
> Skill 1 [Mystic Eye of Command] Increased success rate Skill 2 [Be mine!] Effect added and corrected
It seems that loyalty is additionally compensated within my ultimate skill area. With a loyalty of 70, at least you don’t have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.
“Okay, it’s going to be hard to call each of you from now on… .”
I pointed at the skeletal scorpion trolls one by one and nodded. And they gave their team-up a name.
“I will group them together and call them ‘Gansonmi Brothers’!”
《… ?]
The monsters, who had no way of knowing about the Three Kingdoms, tilted their heads curiously, but what are they going to do? Thank you for not calling it a jjajang jjamppong fried rice set.
The Kansonmi Brothers are organized as a reserve. I ordered to deal with the monsters breaking through Lucas and Evangeline’s defense line.
‘Although here’s the boss summon scroll I have now.’
Let’s take a look at this situation and use it.
After arranging the summoned and captured monsters, it was not long before the wave started.
I took a deep breath and looked around the magic fortress.
“Um… . ugh… … Somewhere higher… … .”
At that time, I found Damian looking around to see if I could not find the right high ground.
‘How can I help… … for a moment. Wasn’t this fortress built with my magic in the first place?’
So, isn’t it possible to change the composition of the fortress with my will?
“Wait a minute, Damian, stay still!”
As I concentrated my consciousness, the gray magic gathered – and a small spire rose from the ground.
“Wow!”
Damian rose up with the spire, embarrassed, but soon straightened up and waved at me with satisfaction.
“Thank you, Prince! I think that’s enough!”
After drawing a circle with my hand, I stood up on the wall toward the gate.
[Conquest War Begins!]
And all over the dungeon in this small and narrow District 1.
Aww!
Key-!
The monsters began to come in like waves.
***
The first wave was a legion of harpies.
Fortunately, not all of the guys who would flock to the crossroads for this stage came here, it seemed to be a part of them. The number is about a little over one hundred.
And at this number,
tutu tu tu tu-!
It’s not even our opponent.
Four automatic defense turrets fired fire from their muzzles at once, and the harpies who were flocking to them were reduced to porridge and crashed.
The harpies were helplessly smashed in front of the barrage of magic bullets pouring down like a danmaku shooting game.
Occasionally, a few strong individuals broke through this overwhelming fire and somehow dug inside, but
Taang! Taang-!
Snipe as if Damien had been waiting.
In the end, not a single harpy was able to cross our anti-aircraft fire and was annihilated.
Evangeline sighed as she looked up at the raindrops pouring down on their feathers.
“What is it? It’s nothing compared to being nervous, right?”
“Oh, you shouldn’t set up a flag like that… .”
And sure enough.
Aaaaaaagh-!
As if waiting for Evangeline to say that, a huge harpy appeared.
We all glared at Evangeline. Evangeline was embarrassed and scratched her head.
“No, I really didn’t expect it to come out like this… .”
The gigantic harpy spread its wings wide and flew toward us, flying low over the land.
Directly behind him are four other smaller Harpies.
That size, that colorful feather color, and most of all,
kaaaaaaagh!
A high-pitched, high-pitched noise that pierces the ears.
Arguably the most powerful entity in the Harpy Legion –
“Harpy Coloratura!”
In other words, the commander of the Harpy Corps!
“Isn’t this bastard the boss of this stage?! Can I get out of here already?!”
Asking “Can I come out already?”
It’s not because of the game’s unreasonable difficulty.
It means ‘Isn’t it too much for us to give a boss skill opportunity even before the defense battle?’!
If we kill him here, we’ll be much more comfortable during the crossroad defense battle!
The harpy coloratura rushing in in an instant opened its huge beak.
The monster’s chest swelled up like a balloon after sucking in air. Now it’s about to unleash a terrifying sonic attack.
“Huh-!”
But before that, my knights jump.
Evangeline, who rose like a flying squirrel, slammed the shield she held with both hands from top to bottom, followed by kicking the ground, and Lucas, who soared like a rocket, slammed her longsword from bottom to top with the scabbard.
Evangeline’s shield hit the top of the monster’s beak, and Lucas’ long sword hit the bottom of the monster’s beak.
Bang!
I forcibly closed the monster’s beak.
The sound wave, which was about to burst out after taking shape, couldn’t get out of the closed beak and was sucked back into the monster’s stomach through the neck of the monster.
Then Junior jerked his magic wand upwards.
Kurung Kurureung… !
A dark cloud instantly fell over the head of the harpy Coloratura, who stumbled and couldn’t come to his senses, and immediately afterwards.
Quagmire and light!
A series of thunderbolts exploded.
The Harpy Coloratura and its minions were fried all at once.
Aaaaaaaaagh!
At least Harpy Coloratura survived, but the four of his subordinates turned into hideous faces like thunder-roasted ones.
The harpy coloratura twisted and spread its wings wide as if to break free.
Taang! Taang-!
Damien’s magic bullet pierced both of his wings.
Magic bullet accurately shattered the core of the wingbone, and the harpy coloratura began to fall to the ground, scattering feathers and blood.
chin!
At that time, Evangeline and Lucas got on top of the body of the falling monster.
Everything that had happened so far was a link between the two knights leaping into the air and blinking an eye.
The two knights who had shut the Harpy Coloratura’s mouth landed on the monster’s chest as soon as the thunderbolt and sniping passed.
Pachichi Pachichichi… … !
Evangeline’s shield absorbed all of Junior’s chain lightning that bounced towards the two knights.
And
“Urasshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Evangeline can shoot back the damage absorbed by her shield with the tip of her spear… … !
Tuck-!
The tip of Evangeline’s spear, which had been entangled in lightning, pierced the chest of Harpy Coloratura with [Damage Payback].
At the same time, Lucas’s longsword, which stepped on the monster’s body and rushed out, emitted a cluster of light and stabbed the harpy Coloratura in the neck.
Kung! … !
The huge harpy’s body fell to the ground,
raising a large dust cloud, and Lucas and Evangeline, who had been sliding on the fallen monster’s corpse as if on a snowboard, landed on the ground with a light motion.
Clear wave 1.
I lightly relaxed my shoulders and looked at the two knights returning to me, but I thought about it without realizing it.
‘… Did I raise it too strong?’
no this is a bit… … is it too much
