I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 764

764. [Side Story] Last puzzle (2)

Dungeon under the Lake Kingdom.

Base camp.

The next monster invasion ‘flood’ was not far away, so this place was also noisy.

Regardless of the previous occupation, a strong evil energy emanating from the center of the Lake Kingdom – the royal castle – enveloped the entire kingdom. The base camp was intact, but the entire kingdom was engulfed in an uneasy energy and had an evil air.

Squeak….

Squeak….

The dark sound of gnawing insects echoed outside the base camp, and I could feel countless red eyes glaring at me.

But regardless, I went inside and approached my target.

It was a magic workshop where a huge witch silently stirred the contents of a cauldron.

“Grandma Coco.”

“….”

Coco’s eyes were haggard as she turned around when I called.

I grinned.

“How you doing?”

“Young Prince… No, I guess I can’t call you like this anymore.”

Coco took her hand away from the pot and turned to me.

“What does the world’s last hope have to do with this old witch in the outskirts?”

“I need Grandma Coco.”

I gave up and got to the point.

“Please come to Crossroads, Coco. “I need you on my final journey.”

“….”

Coco, who did not answer for a moment, let out a long sigh and shook her head.

“If you want to save the world, you end up being anonymous. “You will have to kill that child.”

“….”

“So I can’t help you anymore. Killing that unknown child… even if it’s for the sake of the world, I can’t do it.”

I listened quietly. Coco cast her gaze deep into the dungeon.

“The princess… No, Nameless is already in a state of no return. He has already transformed into a monster in front of the royal castle. “There is no way to save that child anymore.”

“….”

“I have accepted all the darkness of this country. I chose to bear all the suffering of the people of this country with my own body. “It was an ending that was decided from the beginning.”

Coco shook her head sadly.

“All I can do is… be by his side when he destroys the world…” “

…I heard. “Grandma Coco said she was the nanny who raised Moo-myeong.”

Coco smiled bitterly at my words.

“I thought of that child like my granddaughter.”

“I consider the unknown to be my friend.”

I looked straight at Coco.

Coco lowered her head and covered her eyes with the brim of her hat.

“And are you still going to kill that child? To save the world?”

“no.”

I grinned.

“I will save you.”

“…That’s impossible. Obscurity has already become the culmination of all nightmares. “Once we have gathered all our strength, we will set out to destroy Inse.”

Coco shook her head again.

“Either the world or the child is destined to disappear.”

“There is a way.”

But I spoke with confidence.

“This world and the unknown… there is a way to save them all. Only one.”

“….”

Coco looked at me with an expression of disbelief, but I smiled confidently.

“For that method, Grandma Coco. “I need grandma’s help.”

“…Let me talk first. “What do you want me to help you with?”

I got to the point.

“We are planning to transfer the magical power reactor from the demon race’s ship to our ship. “I’d like you to help me with this.”

This was something that only Coco, a master of teleportation magic practiced in ancient times and unable to handle with modern magic levels, could do.

Coco tilted her head to the side as if she couldn’t understand.

“It’s something I can help with, but… how can I save the world and obscurity with that?”

“Only with that ship can the final desperate team go out.”

To save everyone within my reach.

And to end this tiresome defense game that was repeated endlessly forever…

“To the final stage.”

I will prepare…

for the last stage of this game.

***

I explained the detailed plan to Coco.

After much thought, Coco decided to help me. Even if it was a slim possibility, it seemed like they were trying to give significance to the attempt itself, which might be able to save Obscurity.

This is how we succeeded in recruiting Coco.

Not only Coco, but also the adventurers who remained at the base camp. Here’s the sword demon Changgui from the village at the bottom.

I persuaded everyone who could fight and brought them into the troops under my command.

Ahead of the final battle, we have literally scraped together all the power we can. All of these people spent their daily lives in dungeons chopping up monsters, so this would be a great help.

The short break was coming to an end and Stage 46, which announced the start of the final five-game series, was quickly approaching.

Giiiiiiing-!

A new, never-seen-before aircraft carrier flew over the Crossroads.

It was a flying pirate ship waving the Jolly Roger with a skull on it.

The soldiers aimed their weapons, wary of an unidentified airship that suddenly appeared. I muttered shakily.

“Ghost privateer fleet?”

As I was thinking about the ghost pirate monster army I had faced earlier, King Poseidon came up next to me and shook his head.

“no. They are not monsters. “They are the reinforcements I called.”

“ah. Then, what they said earlier….”

“That’s right.”

A faint look of relief appeared on King Poseidon’s old and weary face.

“Pirate King Rompeler.”

A huge anchor crashes from a pirate ship! It fell and the huge hull landed slowly.

Everyone inside was wearing a unified uniform like an army – Marine uniform. Even at a glance, the military discipline is firmly established.

And at the head of them stood a twin man and woman dressed in admiral uniforms.

The two looked exactly alike and were quite young, and both had transparent blue hair. And both had long scars running across the bridge of their noses.

“I’m Rompeler, captain of the Rompeler Pirates.”

“I’m Rompeler, captain of the Rompeler Pirates.”

They both said almost at the same time. Are you saying the twins are captains together…?

The twin pirates standing in front of me and King Poseidon bowed together and bowed their heads to me again.

“I have come to sacrifice myself to the world defense front at the call of the Mermaid King.”

“I owe Uncle Poseidon several lives. “Let us help too.”

I smiled and put my hand forward to shake his hand.

“You came well. Romfeller. “You’re welcome.”

“I guess that’s the famous ‘Bonhater’…?”

The female Rompeler blew a whistle as she inspected me, and the male Rompeler grinned dangerously.

“The legend written by the monster front here has spread far beyond the sea. “I will enjoy watching his skills.”

I laughed without saying a word. Instead of just watching, you all have to play along now.

“Hoooo…”

At that time, Kuilan, who was looking over with his arms crossed, let out an uncomfortable gasping sound.

The two pirates glanced in that direction, and the next moment, Kuilan and the two Rompelers began a snowball fight.

‘Oh, come to think of it.’

Kuilan was more famous as the Bandit King.

Suddenly, the bandit king VS pirate king structure was formed.

Kuilan’s men hurriedly stood behind Kuilan and took a pose showing off their muscles, while Rompeler’s men laughed and began to carefully clean their ship.

‘That summit battle…!’

Are the bandits strong? Are pirates strong? Isn’t this a hot piece of cake? For some reason, it seems like the plot has degenerated into a show off of muscles and ships rather than a heated fight.

I swallowed dry saliva and watched the conflict between the two.

And the moment when the battle of momentum between the two groups reached its peak….

“Hmmmm~?”

A woman’s clear nasal voice rang out like a thunderbolt.

“Are there a lot of familiar people gathered here?”

While saying that, the people walking over again… were Serenade, dressed in elegant suits, and the people from Winter Silver behind them.

Serenade had a smiling face, but a terrifying coldness was emanating from under her narrowed silver eyes, and the people at the Winter Silver Team who followed her had very angry faces.

And as soon as they were identified, everyone, including bandits and pirates, ran away screaming desperately.

“Kyaaaah!”

“Wow! “It’s Winter Silver!”

“I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!”

“I’m sorry for being born, I’m sorry for being born, I’m sorry for being born…!”

“I will never steal again! “Please be lenient!”

ah.

Now that I think about it, merchants, bandits, and pirates have a close(?) tangled relationship with each other…

At the scene where the bandits and pirates joined hands and ran away together, Kuilan and Rompeler stayed behind and are still having a snowball fight with each other. was doing

However, Kuilan was trembling and glancing at Serenade, and the two Rompelers had blank faces and their lips were quivering.

‘Winter Silver… It might be scarier than I thought…’

I broke into a cold sweat as I watched the Bandit King and the Pirate King tremble. No, is it really that scary?

widely!

Serenade, standing between the Bandit King and the Pirate King, smiled brightly.

“…I already reached an agreement with Mr. Kuilan in the past regarding debt. Yes?”

“Yes, yes! That’s right, sister-in-law!”

“Hehe, that’s right. “Behave properly from now on and let’s go.”

“I’m sorry! Take a look! “I will repent and live!”

Kuilan, who continued to sigh, sighed in relief and stepped back.

What on earth is the agreement between the two? No, but since when did the title become like that? Sister-in-law…?

Serenade nodded a few times as if she liked the title, and this time she glanced at the two Rompelers.

“And… the infamous Rompelers. “I can finally see you.”

Serenade, wearing glasses, took out a ledger from her arms and read it line by line.

“The damage they have caused to our merchant ships so far… twenty-six merchant ships, jewels, peppers, spices, silk, and ceramics on board….” Cold

sweat beaded on the faces of the two pirates in front of the endless list.

“And in addition, there are a total of 172 lawsuits for damages against the Rompeler Pirates that the Continental Merchants Association entrusted to us to handle…”

Tak!

Serenade, who covered the ledger, smiled bitterly.

“We should solve this problem first, right?”

“No, that means we…”

“It was a bit difficult to make a living, so we accidentally stopped…”

The two pirates shrank like mice in front of a cat.

No, I thought that when a merchant, a bandit, and a pirate meet, the merchant bends the curve… but when a general meets, this turns upside down…

“I feel like I want to make a life-or-death decision here.”

After sighing, Serenade took off her glasses.

“The Rompeler Pirates may have stolen things, but they have not touched people. And considering that you voluntarily came to the front line for the great cause of protecting the world.”

The faces of the two pirates, who were almost in tears, brightened.

“If you fight hard and do your best during the remaining monster defense battle. By doing so, you help protect the world…”

Serenade looked at the hair of the two pirates.

Transparent blue like hers. The color of the mermaid tribe.

“…If you can raise the honor of the mermaid people and have a positive influence on their future.”

Serenade waved the ledger in her hand.

“I will take responsibility for deleting these ledgers and resolve any damages on my own behalf.”

“Is that really true, the owner of Winter Silver…?!”

“It is truly the best in the world! “It’s big!”

The two pirates hugged each other and jumped up and down in joy.

I walked up to Serenade and put my hand on her shoulder. Serenade let out a short sigh and then glanced up at me.

A look in their eyes as if to say, ‘Did I do well?’

I nodded softly.

“thank you.”

I feel like I always say this, but still.

I was grateful to her for clearing away past resentments for the sake of harmony across the front lines.

‘Yesterday’s enemy has become today’s same enemy again.’

I looked around.

Kings and lords of the world, chieftains and monarchs, adventurers, warriors and wizards, pirates, bandits and merchants, humans and other races and mixed blood, the eternal beings of five hundred years ago and the people of this world…. Standing shoulder to shoulder for a greater cause, sharing the same

star All of us watching.

Everyone I could gather was gathered here.

I made eye contact with each of them and then spoke.

“let’s go.”

ridge-! ridge-! ridge-!

A drum sounded in the distance. It was a signal that a monster was approaching the city.

I grinned before the start of the final five-game series.

“To the end of this war!”
