I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 63

◈ 063. [STAGE 3] A war between just the two of you (4)

The materials summoned for automatic defense turrets are R-grade or higher magic cores and building materials such as stone and wood.

The magic core I have is SR grade, so I made it with this, and the building materials… … .

‘There are a lot of them.’

The golems kindly demolished the villa. There are bricks and wooden boards all over the place.

I threw the magic core into the villa and shouted.

“Summons!”

Koo Goo Goong-!

Right after that, the fragments of the surrounding buildings rose all at once into the air.

Chunk! Less! Clap!

The protruding stones and timbers were split into small pieces and then fell like Tetris onto the open roof, forming a single structure.

Feeling strange, the magic stone golem started projecting magic toward the turret under construction.

pop! Beep!

However, despite being beaten by the beam of light, the automatic defense turret was completed. In particular, the gun barrel was completed first.

Clap!

The gun barrel, like a huge naval gun, aimed at the magic stone golem, and the next moment.

Do-do-do-!

The muzzle spewed fire.

The magic stone golem quickly twisted and evaded, but the pouring magic bullets severed its right arm and right leg.

oh oh… … !

With a scream-like driving sound, the magic stone golem fell helplessly.

The self-defense turrets then jerked their barrels. It was towards the golems approaching from the opposite direction.

thudung! Do-do-do-do!

Dozens of turquoise magic bullets rained down.

The golem approaching from the front turned into a beehive and exploded right after. Kwakwang… … !

The rest of the golems didn’t come any further, stopped all at once, and quickly stepped back.

It seemed that they realized that they were all going to die if they came and went.

‘I’ve felt it since before, but why are these bastards so intelligent… … ?’

It must be the basic intelligence of this game monster to pour only dakgong on the shortest path to kill humans.

Such a move in the absence of a commanding entity.

Still, I took a breath. After confirming that they were leaving, I let out a long breath.

“It seems that it has entered a lull.”

“You really have a lot of strange means, senior… Ugh!”

Evangeline let out a painful moan.

I quickly went next to him and took out a regular potion from my inventory and sprayed it on Evangeline’s injured area.

“It seems like I’m drinking all the potions I’ll eat for the rest of my life… .”

When I handed over the remaining potion, Evangeline, who drank it at once, asked with a embarrassed face.

“What’s next?”

“wait. until the sun goes down.”

Looking at the sun still floating on the horizon, I murmured.

“I can use my other insurance when the sun goes down.”

It’s already late afternoon.

It is located at the southernmost point of the continent, so the sun sets late, but night will come soon.

You just have to wait until then. then… .

“Aww… !”

At that time, Evangeline was holding on to the wound on her shoulder and was in pain.

This is the part that suffered the most during the previous attack. Even after pouring the potion, blood was still flowing.

“I’ll look for something like a bandage. wait.”

I got up and looked around the inside of the building. It’s ruined all over, but there are some usable items.

This was the villa’s kitchen.

Closets and shelves collapsed, breaking bottles and rolling across the floor. The stench of alcohol wafted everywhere.

I retrieved a clean cotton cloth from the drawer and tied it to Evangeline’s forearm.

Evangeline, who was breathing heavily, frowned.

“Anyway, why is there so much alcohol… ? It smells great.”

“Because the Marquis Cross was a terrific alcoholic.”

“yes?”

Evangeline’s pointed eyes widened. I blinked my eyes.

“I did not know? Your dad wasn’t kidding. It was almost to the point of being addicted to alcohol.”

“No way… . The dad I remember was a man who had never spoken of alcohol in his entire life.”

Evangeline muttered shyly.

“They said that since you never know when a monster might attack, the lord should wait with a perfect attitude. I didn’t even drink a sip… … .”

I laughed bitterly.

“Looks like a lot has changed in the three years since you left.”

“… .”

“That person was in a lot of pain. To the point where I couldn’t last a day without alcohol.”

Evangeline’s pale lips were tightly shut.

Feeling sorry for such a little boy, I asked cautiously.

“Do you still hate your father after coming to this point?”

“yes.”

An immediate answer came.

“I still can’t forgive you.”

“If my father had gone to rescue my mother three years ago instead of defending the city. So, would you have forgiven your father?”

“… You wouldn’t have hated it like you do now.”

“But then you were in the city.”

Evangeline’s eyebrows twitched.

“If my father had left to save my mother, on the contrary, you would have been in danger.”

“… .”

“At that time, the troops of the Crossroads could only defend one side. Your father didn’t abandon your mother. that kept you You know that.”

“… is it so. I know.”

Evangeline bit her lip and murmured.

“Dad knows I did my best. It always was… … I know. I know. but!”

Evangeline lowered her head slowly.

“Then who should I blame… ?”

I opened my eyes wide.

what?

“My mom died from being torn apart by a monster, and I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m angry and sad. Even if you hate monsters, you can’t help it. It’s just an accident, it’s a disaster… … Then who should I blame?”

Evangeline covered her face with both hands.

“I know, cowardly. Not the monster who killed my mother, but finding the person in charge… … It’s cowardly.”

“… .”

“But as long as you don’t resent someone… I mean, it feels like it’s going to burn… … !”

It is not a monster that has no choice but to be like a natural disaster.

They resent living human beings who will take responsibility right in front of their eyes.

Because it’s easier to hate someone than to forget your sorrow.

“Dad was willing to accept the resentment. It’s her fault for not going to rescue her mother. it’s self-responsibility. That’s why I hated it straight away.”

“… .”

“But you want me to come and forgive you? Did you actually do your best? Did you do it to protect me?”

Evangeline’s small fist hit the floor.

“Then, if it’s not Dad’s fault, then whose fault is all this… !”

“Nobody did anything wrong.”

I sighed calmly.

“All together… I am just trying to live.”

no one has any malice

Everyone just struggles to live their best life.

But monsters attack and people die.

Family members die, friends die, colleagues die.

“I can’t help it. Because people are weak… … In order to live, you need someone to be specific about.”

Not to hate, but to live.

People here need a target of resentment. We need someone to take charge of all this hell.

“So now.”

I knelt down in front of Evangeline and gently stroked her hair.

“Resent me.”

Evangeline’s green eyes, which had been looking at the floor, looked up at me wide.

“… yes?”

“I will take over your resentment instead of your father. Now that I am the lord of Crossroads.”

I tapped my chest with my right hand.

“Because I am in charge of this place.”

“Senior, you need to… .”

There is no need.

However, if this is also the work that the Cross family has been carrying over all this time. As the new lord, I deserve to take over.

“The object of resentment will be me. therefore… Please understand your father a little now.”

“… .”

“He just wanted your happiness.”

I ruffled Evangeline’s hair. Faced with the distraught girl’s face, a smirk came out.

“That’s why I’m struggling to save you too.”

“… .”

Evangeline looked at me for a long time with dark eyes and then opened her mouth small.

“I am… .”

It was then.

Goo-!

A driving sound rang in the distance. Me and Evangeline suddenly looked that way.

I could see golems moving through the collapsed buildings.

They surrounded the villa widely. Evangeline hurriedly stood up.

“They’re besieging us!”

“Give me a little more time… .”

Automatic defense turrets have a fixed ammunition capacity. In addition, the number of directions that can be fired at one time is limited.

When surrounded and entered at once, automatic defense turrets are neutralized by attacks from a blind spot.

Noticing that, the golems surrounded us.

These babies are really smart?

“If they push in at once, we die.”

“Then what should I do… .”

“You have to hit it first.”

There are only fourteen of them left. No, one died in an automatic turret earlier, so thirteen.

Even if the villa is surrounded in a circle, the encirclement is inevitably thin. Breakthrough is possible enough.

I picked up the horse gun black queen.

“The only way to go is to break through the encirclement and eliminate the remaining ones one by one.”

I glanced west. The sun is setting now.

It’s night soon.

The long awaited chance comes. A chance to use one of the two remaining insurance policies.

Evangeline raised her empty hands to me.

“But I… I have no weapons.”

At best, he had just broken and ate two SSR grade set equipment he had obtained from a dungeon.

It’s a waste. After licking my bitter taste, I nodded toward the outside.

“Hey. spare equipment.”

“yes? I don’t carry spare equipment.”

“I’m here but not you.”

“Oh really? Did Dad keep his armor in this villa?”

“no. Not that.”

With a smirk on my face, I gestured toward the backyard of the orchard.

“You buried it. Few days ago.”

Evangeline, who was blank for a moment, finally opened her mouth.

“I hope that… !”

***

I’m sorry. Chunk.

There is a sound of heavy weight stepping on shards of glass.

It was the sound of the golems slowly closing the encirclement.

They carefully moved through the wreckage of the collapsed building and approached the villa.

Uh-uh-

The automatic defense turret built in the middle of the villa was rotating the turret with a menacing mechanical sound.

If an enemy enters the range, he will fire without hesitating even for 0.1 second.

The golems’ encirclement got narrower and narrower, and the moment when the automatic defense turret’s range overlapped with the golems’ encirclement.

Do-do-do-do-doo!

The barrels of the automatic defense turrets fired first.

The first golem in the lead was raged by the rain of magic bullets. However, there are still twelve more golems left.

Do-do-doong! Do-do-do-do-doo!

Golems rushed all at once to all sides of the automatic defense turret that was constantly pouring out magic bullets.

The automatic defense turret made two more golems hive at once, but that was it.

When I turned the turret sideways in search of the next enemy, the rest of the golems were already clinging to the defensive turrets.

Kwajik! Kwadeuk! Whoops!

The golems’ violent punches ripped off the gloves in an instant, and the gun barrel, which tried to spit out magic bullets to the end, was pulled out.

Quguagwang… … !

The magic core shattered and the automatic defense turret exploded.

Killing one of the golems caught in the blast was the automatic defense turret’s last shot.

Suffice.

That’s it.

“run-!”

I cried out as I watched the golems tear through the automatic defense turrets to the end.

Taat!

Evangeline and I exited the villa at the same time.

Goooo?!

The golems dismantling the automatic defense turrets all glanced at us. They ran after us without delay.

“Keep running Evangeline! Don’t look back!”

I shouted at Evangeline, who was running in front, and pointed the muzzle of the horse gun behind me.

The golems were chasing right behind me in an instant.

Tuquaang-!

The Black Queen spewed fire.

The golem, which had been blown from head to chest, fell backwards. Without delay, I fired another shot next to him.

Bang-!

My aim was sloppy, so this time I hit the golem’s lower body.

He was blown off the bottom of his thigh and landed unsightly on the floor. It wasn’t intended, but the neutralization was successful anyway.

“Just a little further! There is my last insurance!”

Bang! Bang! Tuquaang-!

He didn’t spare any shrapnel and smashed them all.

I took down two more, but one shot missed. Does not matter. It’s enough to earn the last hour.

Before we knew it, we arrived at the backyard of the orchard. The tombstones of the Marquis couple were erected there.

Evangeline ran ahead of me and knelt beside her father’s grave.

“… Kut!”

Then he started digging the ground with his hands.

Evangeline urgently dug out the space right next to the grave.

Soon after, a wooden box appeared in the pile of dirt. Evangeline opened the box at once.

Inside the box was a worn-out cavalry spear and a shield.

Arms used by the head of the Cross family for generations.

And on the day of her father’s funeral, Evangeline’s request to bury her arms was buried with the Marquis.

“… .”

With her muddy hands, Evangeline gripped the old lance.
