I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 607

607. [Side Story] Stove League

The heroes here are proud warriors.

Also, many are in the role of representing their respective organizations.

Since the martial arts tournament is a team event to determine the strongest party here, it demands bloody competition, and even more so, the right to participate in the black dragon subjugation is at stake.

I have to be motivated.

“There won’t be any monster battles until the Autumn Festival… but I hope this gives you all something to do.”

Originally, I was just going to let him go, but I changed my mind.

I decided to give them something to indulge in. I think it would be more comfortable that way.

“Get a good rest, heal your body first, and prepare for the martial arts competition step by step.”

I nodded and stepped back.

“It’s over! Then I wish you all a good holiday.”

After declaring the special training season under the guise of vacation, I got out of the hall.

At the entrance to the hall stood Dusk Bringer leaning against it. I whispered softly as I passed her.

“The one who achieves higher grades in this martial arts competition will have command of the black dragon subjugation, Archduke.”

“This is how it comes out…”

Dusk Bringer laughed savagely.

“Okay, prepare with all your might. You better be prepared, Bonheter.”

I also grinned.

“Let me look forward to it. grandee.”

The remaining heroes in the hall urgently found their own party and began gathering. There was even a sense of liveliness on their faces as they began to have a meeting with serious faces.

It was also unfortunate that they could only find peace in battle, not in rest.

At the same time, the situation on the frontline here, which is going to that extreme, made me feel sick.

“…hot.”

like me too My stomach started to heat up.

Monster frontline strongest party?

Isn’t that the party I command, of course.

I am the one who wins this martial arts competition, and I am the one who wields command authority in the black dragon subjugation. Is there any other case…!

***

After that, the monster front began to run busily on its own.

It was nominally a vacation period, but the heroes trained more diligently than ever.

I felt a little guilty that I might have ruined my precious vacation at once, but they are also professionals. Each of us should take the rest we need on our own.

Also under the water.

Several parties united, traded, transferred, and transferred members, busily reorganizing the party.

The martial arts competition I announced was a 5v5 match. I said that I value the unity of the members moving as if they are one body, but that is just a selection criteria for the Black Dragon subjugation.

In the end, the martial arts competition itself has to be an all-out war.

Existing parties had a strong personality of being classified according to role groups. In most cases, only wizards or warriors were gathered in a party.

There were many cases where the inclination was excessively biased, so it was not possible to exert optimal combat power in these party unit battles.

So, the heroes began to find the strongest combination for this martial arts competition. As a result, they started exchanging members among themselves.

In the meantime, the parties that were divided into gender and age based on their occupation.

During the martial arts competition season, they began to mix with each other and create unprecedented chemistry.

“…”

No, honestly, I never thought the situation would unfold like this.

Every evening in the plaza, in restaurants, in bars and cafes… It was easy to see people who hadn’t even greeted each other casually discussing tactics for martial arts competitions.

I find scenes like this amazing and… It’s a bit strange to say things like this.

strangely moving.

Those who were divided and wary of each other by race, nation, religion and values.

The way they mix together and eat and drink tea together, as if asking when did they care about that.

I liked it so much that I watched it for several days.

‘…No, good things are good things.’

I couldn’t just play around as I was in the position of aiming to win the martial arts tournament.

I had to go through a lot of trouble to get all the split main parties out and register them in my party again.

In ‘Misters’, Lucas from the shield knight party, Evangeline from the sniper party, Damian from the wizard party, Junior…

. Oh tight!

“However, the bluffing, negotiating, conciliating, etc. of member negotiations behind the scenes, all of which are mixed up in a mess, can be said to be the fun of Stove League. Whoop whoop.”

manor house. office.

Evangeline, who was sitting on the sofa in front of me and eating fruit, narrowed her eyes.

“Again, I don’t understand… What is Stove League?”

What is Stove League?

It refers to the off-season, between seasons in professional sports.

At this time, it refers to the time when the team and the players match the terms of the contract and the team reorganization takes place, such as selecting new players or trading.

Because it’s a bit difficult to explain everything. I was vaguely evasive.

“There is such a thing. Four calves.”

“huh? Four calves?”

Evangeline widened her eyes and tilted her head.

“What do you mean?”

“That’s the transfer fee I put on the Shield Knight party to trade you.”

In order to bring these calf-like girl knights, Evangeline gave four calves each to the shield knight party she originally belonged to.

Of course, the price had to be paid out of my personal safe. Keuheuk… My money…

Evangeline, who finally understood what I was saying, suddenly became proud and lifted her chin and smiled.

“Well, they say they’re taking a super-special talent like that! The knights should take care of each calf, haha!”

“…how much was I, lord?”

Lucas, who was slicing fruit by reducing the [sword given to him] to an excessive size, asked softly. There was no reason to hide it, so I answered immediately.

“A bag of gold coins.”

“What are you-?!”

It was Evangeline who jumped up in fright. I grumbled and dug my ears.

“Uh, originally, Lucas’s party… was it ‘Misters’? Torkel and Zenith didn’t ask for anything, but Chain and Nobody, those two evil guys, opposed it to the end. They gave me enough money for the casino, and only then did they allow me to transfer.”

“That bag of gold coins…”

Evangeline muttered shyly.

Calves aren’t cheap, but there are several towns nearby that do large-scale ranching. A bag of gold coins is worth more than four calves.

“…huh.”

Lucas, silently, with a smile of victory on his face, served me with a finely sliced fruit on a plate.

Evangeline, who was trembling next to him, took the fruit platter that had been offered to me and swept it into my mouth and exclaimed urgently.

“Then Junior unnie! How much did you pay? How much did you pay!”

“Junior… said that he was taking him, so Diarmudin, who is in charge of general management of magicians, objected again. We barely negotiated…”

After that, Junior shyly scratched the top of his hat with his fingertips, and Evangeline opened her mouth wide.

“I appeased you with a lot of land to build the Ivory Tower Crossroads branch later. I gave you some land in the abandoned village in the north.”

“earth?! Taaaang?! You handed over the land rights?!”

“Well, that’s how it happened…”

The price of land on the outskirts doesn’t even have the proper real estate value.

Even so, four calves are much more expensive than a sack of gold coins.

Evangeline shook her fists, and for some reason Lucas drooped her shoulders and gave a ‘burdock-‘. what are you doing

“Then the last! What about Damian’s brother?!”

Exclaiming, Evangeline pointed toward the door, and Damian, who had just opened the office door and entered, shook his shoulders in surprise.

After beckoning Damian to come in and eat the fruit, I said it straight up as I lifted the teacup in front of me.

“…I decided to make a horse gun for each member of the sniper party.”

“Machoooong?!”

Even with SR rating.

It’s worth buying four SR-grade weapons. In fact, it was the most expensive of the four here.

“Hehe, everyone in our sniper party is having a hard time… It would be nice to take down a stronger enemy if you have good weapons!”

Damien, who was sitting in the seat, muttered with an expensive… oh no, a kind face.

dump!

In the end, Evangeline, who could not stand it and collapsed, knelt on the floor. And he uttered it in a trembling voice.

“I… I’m the cheapest… I’m the cheapest…!”

“Hey, don’t underestimate the calf. He will plow the fields, carry loads, grow well, and become a reliable source for the family.”

It is said to be the most helpful livestock in human history. Even in the Joseon Dynasty, cows were the real pillars of the family.

I sniffed the scent of tea in my hand as I let out a nonsensical sound. And I thought at the same time.

‘I wanted to split up Dusk Bringer’s party…’

Unfortunately, the 4 knights under the Dragon Lady’s loyalty to her were so deep that they didn’t budge from my transfer offer.

As Stove League’s strict strategy was to destroy the transfer market of rival teams, I was devising all sorts of dirty tricks… but the Dragon Blood Knights were so sticky that it didn’t work properly. Chet.

‘…Isn’t there something I’m overly immersed in playing as the owner?’

If it’s fun though, that’s okay. Isn’t this a way to enjoy the off-season vacation in its own way?

I paid for the transfer fee… In a broad sense, you could think of it as a bonus for struggling heroes.

“Anyway, so!”

I opened my mouth while looking around the main party gathered – the strongest power of the monster frontline.

“Calf bag of gold coins, land documents, expensive equipment. The four of you will participate in this martial arts competition under my command.”

“At least call me by name! by name!”

The calf murmured and let out a cry. I ignored it and continued.

“As we’ve been working together for a long time, there’s no doubt about the teamwork of the five of us, but… Even if it’s like the five of us moving as one body, we’ll need separate training.”

I’ve already said it several times.

The Black Dragon Corps has to be attacked with a small elite raid group, and each one of them is a powerful raid boss.

And in order to destroy the wide-area patterns used by dragons, we need to train in advance to move like one body.

‘This training will be useful in this martial arts competition.’

If you can move as one body in a 5v5 PVP situation in a team match, you will be able to fight just as well. It will help unconditionally.

Placing the teacup in my hand on the desk, I tried to tell you about the training the five of us were going to do.

It was then.

Doo doo doo doo-!

Suddenly, there was a loud mechanical sound that shook the air. hmm?

The teacup on the table trembled with strong vibration. Embarrassed party members jumped up from their seats.

“Hey, are you here already?”

I was the only one who had heard the message beforehand and calmly sat down and spat it out. Lucas asked urgently.

“Master, this vibration…?!”

“iced coffee.”

I smiled bitterly and slowly gathered my coat and got up from my seat.

“The guest came straight from the north after seeing my proclamation… I guess I’ll have to meet him.”

***

Tutututututu-

A loud noise filled the air above the crossroads.

We rushed out in front of the south gate of Crossroads (where it used to be) and looked up at the sky.

Heavy ships of steel sailed in formation across the city from the north… It was slowly approaching the southern plains.

Everblack Imperial Air Fleet.

The rest of the non-airship forces stationed in New Terra, the imperial capital, were dispatched to the Crossroads all at once.

Geeeeing- thump!

More than 10 non-airships began to set down their cargo containers on the southern plains.

Except for one chuck.

thud-!

Chii-iik….

Among the ships, a single non-empty ship, the only one that was decorated extravagantly without a cargo container, landed in front of the south gate first.

The hatches opened slowly, and soldiers poured out in an orderly manner from inside the ship.

And at the end of the line of soldiers…

“Hmm~”

The man got off.

The black-haired middle-aged man took a long breath and laughed, exposing his molars.

“I felt it the other day, but it definitely smells different from the narrow capital. change.”

The ruler of half the world laughed.

“Do you like it.”

I rushed to him urgently and bowed deeply to him.

I said it sincerely.

“Thank you for coming a long way, Obama…!”

sole emperor of the empire.

Traha ‘Peacemaker’ Everblack tapped me on the shoulder.

“okay. my boneheader. How are you? Jim came in person after seeing the proclamation you sent.”

The emperor looked around his head from side to side and asked me in my ear.

“So, when does the festival start?”

I laughed awkwardly.

There are still a few days left, Your Majesty!
