I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 256

The Night of the Full Moon (4)

“Huuuuh-”

Taking a deep breath,

“Euriyaaaaaa-chaaaaaaa!”

With a shout, Evangeline thrust her lance forward.

The pure white light of the lance tore through space as it surged ahead.

Clang!

Luna Red easily deflected the attack with a swipe of his claws. A relaxed smile even graced his lips.

To be clear, Luna Red was far stronger than Evangeline.

While Luna Red effortlessly parried Evangeline’s desperate attacks,

Tsukak-!

“Kuhuk!”

Each of Luna Red’s light attacks landed as a clear blow on Evangeline.

Every time Luna Red’s claws flashed with moonlight through the air, pieces of armor attached to Evangeline’s armor were swept away.

The armor Evangeline was currently wearing was the [Golem Armor].

It was equipped with several layers of golem armor, making its defensive capabilities comparable to top-tier armors.

However – it was breaking.

Like feathers scattering from a bird shot down by a bullet, pieces of Evangeline’s armor scattered every time Luna Red’s attack grazed her.

“Kuh! Ee-it!”

Evangeline readjusted her shield, which was covered in claw marks, and steadied her breathing.

Red scratches marked her white cheeks and neck. Luna Red licked the girl’s blood from his claws and chuckled.

《To block a Nightmare Legion Commander single-handedly. Your courage is admirable.》

“……”

《It’s time to pay the price for your reckless bravery, young knight.》

Even amidst this, Damian’s sniper support continued.

If it weren’t for Damian’s sniper support, Evangeline would have lost her life long ago.

Bang! Bang-!

The problem was that Damian’s sniping wasn’t infinite.

After using up all the rounds in the [Black Queen], Damian had been refilling his magic power to continue sniping, but even that had run out.

Now, he was providing sniper support with his second long rifle, [Hunter’s Retribution], but its power had noticeably decreased.

Snipers were the most powerful when they had ammunition and distance, but conversely, they were incredibly weak without them.

Luna Red flicked his arm to deflect the incoming snipes as if swatting away flies.

As the sniping weakened, Luna Red was converting his remaining power into attacks on Evangeline.

Tsukaak-!

The Wolf King’s claws roughly scraped against her armor and shield,

Hudududuk……!

The last of the armor pieces on Evangeline’s armor fell off.

Now wearing only the base armor of the Golem Armor, Evangeline gripped her shield, which was on the verge of breaking into three pieces.

《Do you have any last words?》

Luna Red, certain of his victory, grinned fiendishly.

《I’ll listen. I’m willing to hear the last words of a human who has held me up this long.》

“You’re just like a dog, barking nonsense every time you open your mouth.”

Evangeline grinned mischievously and glanced behind her.

“If you’re going to ask for last words, why didn’t you ask your subordinates first?”

《……!》

Startled by her words, Luna Red looked towards the north gate.

All the werewolves who had been attacking the north gate were lying dead.

The three members of the Shadow Squad, who had joined at the right time, had torn the wolves apart with overwhelming firepower.

The soldiers who had rushed from the barracks joined later, but they finished off the werewolves and were orderly leading the citizens into the city.

Luna Red chuckled in disbelief.

He had been so engrossed in his battle with the lancer and the sniper that he had failed to notice all his subordinates had been killed.

《These moronic bastards.》

Thwack! Thwack!

Godhand, having confirmed the kill by driving two iron bars into the neck of the last werewolf, pulled out his bars and looked towards Evangeline.

“All the monsters in the area have been dealt with, Evangeline.”

Godhand noticed that the shield in Evangeline’s arm was tattered, and transformed his two iron bars into a large shield. It was magic befitting a metalsmith.

“Use this for now.”

Evangeline quickly equipped the shield Godhand threw to her on her left arm and grinned.

“It’s good to see you again, Godhand!”

“It’s good to be back at the Monster Front. The outside world is too scary…”

“More than this monster-infested place?”

“Haha.”

Godhand gave a wry smile and stood next to Evangeline.

On the north gate wall, Burnout and Bodybag had set up a giant ballista, and Margherita was casting heals and shields on Evangeline.

“……”

Lily, still sitting on the ground with her broken wheelchair, was still holding the two children tightly in her arms.

She was quietly staring at Godhand’s back.

“Well, rabies king. All your puppy dogs are dead.”

Evangeline readjusted her shield and taunted Luna Red cheerfully.

“What are you going to do now? Can you take on all of us by yourself?”

Reinforcements continued to arrive from the south of the city. Luna Red quietly observed the growing number of human figures on the wall.

“Oh, let us through! Let us through!”

The penal troops arrived, pushing through the crowd of citizens.

As time passed, more humans would arrive here. Then, it would become increasingly difficult for Luna Red to hold out alone.

《…….》

Luna Red was strong.

His strength was pure and honest violence. It was the honest power of martial arts emanating from his unbelievably strong body.

Therefore, his limits were clear.

Unlike other Nightmare Legion Commanders, he couldn’t overturn the tide of battle or perform miracles with sorcery and magic.

His power was mighty, but if it clashed with a greater power, he would lose without any variables.

That was why Luna Red, as a Legion Commander, never fought a stronger enemy head-on.

He would ambush, kidnap, and use every method available to create variables by shaking things up.

《Hoo-oo-》

Luna Red took a deep breath,

《Awoooooooooo!》

He let out a powerful howl that was deafening.

The Wolf King’s roar pierced through the bright night sky under the full moon.

The humans in the area all covered their ears and collapsed, and the citizens who had not yet finished evacuating fainted or fell to the ground.

Awoooooooooo!

Awoooooooooo!

As if responding to the Wolf King’s cry, the howls of werewolves were heard from all the battlefields surrounding Crossroads.

Evangeline, staggering while covering her ears, gritted her teeth.

“What was that? Did you call for reinforcements or something?”

《Reinforcements?》

Luna Red smirked and stepped forward.

《It’s the opposite, lancer.》

“……?”

《Count the number of you who are blocking me.》

Luna Red gestured towards the north gate.

《Isn’t it too many?》

“What?”

《I’m alone here, but you’ve gathered too many soldiers to stop just me.》

Evangeline looked at the north wall with a bewildered expression.

Indeed – that was true.

After all, battles against powerful monsters like Luna Red should be handled by heroes, not ordinary soldiers.

But now, the north wall was crowded with even ordinary soldiers.

Because the enemy had launched a rear attack.

Because the ordinary citizens who were outside were in danger.

So, it was understandable that most of the soldiers who were on standby had rushed here. However.

《Then the defenses are weak, aren’t they? The east and west.》

“……!”

Having confirmed that the main force of the humans was concentrated in the south, they launched a simultaneous attack on the north, east, and west.

Among them, the Wolf King himself led the north. It would be good if they succeeded in breaking through, but it didn’t matter if they didn’t.

Since the enemy commander had appeared, the human defense against the attack was bound to be focused on the north.

In this already chaotic situation, the defenses on the east and west were bound to be weakened.

Especially if the scale of the enemy that appeared in the east and west was small.

Right at this moment – they would order a breakthrough.

《The number of subordinates I brought out as a separate unit was one hundred. I brought twenty of them here.》

Luna Red explained to Evangeline in a kind and cheerful tone.

《In the east and west, ten each would pretend to attack, and when I gave the signal, thirty additional hidden ambush units would attempt a surprise breakthrough.》

“……”

《Break through the gates and enter the city. That was roughly the plan.》

And Luna Red’s plan had worked.

The soldiers who had judged that the number of werewolves that appeared at the east and west gates was small and could be easily blocked had all rushed to the north gate.

If a large number of werewolves had attacked the east and west gates from the beginning, the reinforcements that had departed from the center and south would have joined the defense of the east and west gates, and a sufficient number of soldiers would have been able to stop the attack.

But the soldiers who had judged that the main attack of the wolves was in the north had emptied the east and west and gathered in the north.

If the east and west gates were attacked in this situation……

“Damn it! Turn the soldiers to the east and west-”

Just as Evangeline was about to say to turn them around.

Thump!

Luna Red took a step forward.

“……!”

As if his previous demeanor was a joke, a terrifyingly violent aura began to emanate from the Wolf King’s entire body.

《And. Earlier, you asked if I could take on all of you alone, lancer?》

Luna Red bared his teeth and laughed maniacally.

《My answer is ‘I don’t know.’ I’ll only know after we fight.》

“……?!”

As a Legion Commander, Luna Red never fought a stronger enemy head-on.

But as a martial artist, Luna Red was willing to challenge a stronger enemy.

He was a cold-blooded hunter, but also a fiery martial artist.

These two seemingly conflicting values were both part of who he was.

He was both a wolf and a human.

《Now, let me know. Can I take on all of you?》

The Wolf King began to march alone towards the wall where the humans were swarming.

《Let the struggle begin, humans!》

***

East wall.

“Haa, haa, haa!”

I wiped the sweat flowing down my chin with the back of my hand as I stood on the wall.

As soon as I saw the Shadow Squad appear on the ally list in the system window and engage in battle at the north gate, I turned towards the east gate, and Junior turned towards the west gate.

The first reason was that the troop situation was sufficient to stop them at the north gate right away.

‘It didn’t seem like these wolf bastards would end with a simple three-way attack.’

That was the second reason.

The battle situation was already messed up. It wouldn’t be strange if these bastards twisted things up even more and caused problems.

If enemy troops entered the east and west gates at different times in this situation, we would collapse helplessly, so Junior and I split up to stop them.

‘They’re really coming, shit.’

Tududududung-!

The automatic defense turret next to me fired.

In front of me, the corpse of a werewolf sliced by a magic blade was lying on the ground, and over there, the werewolves who had been hit by my [Eye of Command] were clawing at each other and killing each other.

‘The east gate has somehow succeeded in defending.’

With the few soldiers and my combined efforts, the east gate had somehow managed to hold out.

‘It seems like the north gate is blocked too. Now, if we can just succeed in defending the west gate where Junior went to stop them, this mess can somehow be cleaned up…’

I thought, but.

Ding!

[Warning: The city’s west gate has been breached!]

“……”

I was speechless as I looked at the bright red system window that appeared in front of me.

The number one worst message to see in a defense game.

The breach of the gate was right in front of my eyes.
