Dungeon Defense

“Why! Why do monsters come out of the Blue Castle?" ”

Kurz is appalled. Among the monsters coming out of the gate is an ogre. If you can't recognize it properly because of the darkness, you're sure it's an ogre. Kurz can't see anything more than an ogre.

He knew. The commander must always be calm and calm. Even if you have been ambushed, you need to lead an army that is confused by the 'ambush, or anticipated'. Soldiers can't fight with peace of mind unless the commander is in a hurry.

But Kurz was frightened. I was not frightened and unable to learn. Blue acidic acid didn't last two or three hours. There were only 500 monsters in front of us. It is a wall that easily passes 15 meters in height. That wall won't hold for two or three hours? …… can't be! You shouldn't be here!

“Ugh! Commander, follow the warden! ”

“What are you going to do? ”

Kurz chews his teeth. What are you going to do...? I have no idea! He wanted to faint immediately. One thing was certain. He and his cavalry were isolated from the enemy camp.

“We're getting out of here! Cavalry! Reversing power! We're going to break through to Command! ”

The cavalry was gathered in one place. Kurz's orders were issued immediately. The cavalry with only a hundred men in each acidic castle was an elite elite unit of seventh and higher rank martial artists. They shouted without panic.

“Commander of the Yellow Acid Cavalry Lakenberg! I'll punch through the line! ”

“Lubrok, commander of the Red Mountain Cavalry, is in charge! ”

The order was swift and the execution was unruly. The cavalry reverses and runs out the back. The ranks have collapsed, but surviving Orcs and Goblins have blocked the cavalry. The monster couldn't stop the spear knife this way, but it was impossible to slow it down. I have formed a siege on all sides just as hard as the time I've lost.

Someone screams.

“Oh, the ogre caught up! ”

The ogre! Kurz turns his head back, riding his horse. Something big, like a rock, is eating the cavalry from behind. An axe. A bigger axe tears through the night air and tames the cavalry. It was the same intensity as the turbulence. Every time the axe swings, the soldier falls to the ground.

“The rear end is working! ”

“Louvre, warrior! ”

It was a nightmare of the Iron Mace. Twenty horsemen didn't die when the Orc Shield was breached. However, as soon as one ogre caught up, a part of the troop was destroyed.

Kurz trembles with anger. No matter how much time and effort it takes to raise one horseman.

I was confident I could take out one of the ogres if I could face them head-on. However, I had to get out of the enemy camp as soon as possible. Now that I can't expect favorable support, being isolated from the enemy camp meant death.

“Break through! We're getting out of here! ”

Three minutes. Only three minutes. The cavalry has broken through again just moments ago. But it was three minutes like a nightmare. The ogre bites its tail like a hound, and thirty horsemen voluntarily stop to get rid of it. Thanks to this, the cavalry has left the enemy line and is rushing towards the allies.

The noble commander said.

“Deputy, you did it! We're out!”

“It's not a success. I only sacrificed the lamb! ”

Kurz vomited blood. The quarter-minute annihilation of the cavalry. It was around this time that Kurz came to know about the Great Depression. The Demon Lord's army did not consist of two hundred men. He probably had about 2,000 troops. He was completely deceived.

The cavalry has returned to the ranks of the Humans. As Kurz expects, the command is in chaos. Suddenly, twice as many enemies appear. It was strange not to be embarrassed. By the time Kurz returned, the command had stabilized.

“Please report the situation. ”

Kurz sighs and says. As soon as he returned, he got off the horse and joined the army. I couldn't rest. The commander's chiefs argue back.

“The enemy has surrounded us on all sides. ”

“Our interests are being attacked, isolated from each other. We have to save them now. ”

“The number of Ogres found alone is seven. There may be many more beyond the abhorrent darkness. ”

Kurz sharpened his teeth.

“Please add one more. I just got kicked out by him. ”

“Eight Ogres.... ”

Someone mutters. An intangible pressure presses against the command. The sound of iron and iron colliding from all sides is still echoing, and the screams of humans and monsters are echoing. The allies are still holding their ground. However, the command has already come to a desperate conclusion as to how long we can resist this surprise attack.

Kurz said.

“Let's retire.”

“Commander Schlairmacher - Deputy. You know that, don't you? Falling back at night is not easy……. ”

“Are you going to die here? At least a few have to flee. ”

The commanders groan. Abandon your allies and run, Kurz says. The commanders gathered here were trained in solidarity and brotherhood. I knew that the iron mace was the only answer, but I had to think. No, I was wondering if I could pull it out in the first place....

“I'll take the rear. ”

“Shue, Commander Schlairmacher - Deputy! ”

Kurz said with a straight face.

“This operation has not been compromised. No wonder I'm responsible. ”

“Let's fight to the end. Win or lose is still decided.... ”

“What are you going to do about the acidity?! ”

Kurz shouts.

“If you are wiped out here, you will surrender to the enemy as far as Red Castle. I can't do that. Till the army of the Change Bag comes to the Armies, it will settle on Red Mountain. We need to get as many troops alive as possible. Retreat while you're in charge! ”

The commanders keep their mouths shut.

“… Uh, maybe it's impossible to demolish. ”

At that time, the noble boss cautiously said. One of the commanders asked with an impression.

“Mr. President, what do you mean? ”

“I'm not sure myself...... but given the current situation, the Demon King's army had a total of 2,000 troops. But when they raided Green acidity, when they raided Blue acidity, only 1,000 were sent to us. I mean, he was trying to trick us into it. ”

The blonde nobleman sighed.

“They made us go after the Separatists on purpose. As we move according to the enemy's plan, we ambush the rest of the troops, hiding them as if they were waiting. Well, you know what they mean. ”

“We were in their palms from the beginning...?" Is that what you're saying, Mr. President? ”

“I'm afraid so. ”

He rubs his eyes with both hands. There was fatigue in my eyes. Nighttime operations have put a great deal of pressure on humans psychologically and physically.

The monster was less than that. They were able to see things as clearly in the dark as beasts. Even before the wedding, it was clear that the differences between such human species and monsters would become increasingly prominent.

The aristocratic young man was deciphering the defeat of the human army in his head. The question was, how long did it last? For the next thirty minutes or so, maybe an hour... After that, there will be unilateral eradication. In three hours, 2,000 Elite Empire Soldiers will be literally exterminated. The young man said, calculating like that.

“Hmmm...... Even if a small group of troops withdraw now, it's too late. There 'll be 300 of them at most. But we can't be chased by Ogres by foot soldiers. Three hundred people will be killed by Ogres' axes without maintaining their ranks. Am I... Am I wrong? ”

“…… No. You have my word on that. ”

“Even if 300 people go back to Red Mountain, it's not enough to have an agricultural war. Monsters will simply take you down. We've been defeated. We can't defend Red Mountain at all costs. The Black Mountains have been breached by the Moon Blind... ”

A commander said in a trembling voice.

“Whoa, the Moon Blind. What are you talking about? ”

“So, um, Think of the enemy's intentions. I'm trying to take down Red Mountain with only about 2,000 monsters. If we resist desperately here, we'll be able to reduce the number of monsters by a thousand...? ”

All the commanders breathed and listened to the young man.

“Well, let's calculate it fairly and say there are 15,000 monsters left. If Red Acid falls, of course the Change Bags will raise an army. You think a thousand and a half monsters can stop that army? ”

Blonde boy shakes his head.

“Impossible. And yet the enemy is trying to eat the Red Acid. There's only one reason. I'm confident I can stop an army of change bags. ”

“― ― Subsequent! We have a follow-up!”

Kurz yells in shock.

The young man smiled bitterly.

“Yes. I think so... Enemies have large followers. It's hard to imagine the size of a main force that could lead 2,000 monsters…… The moon blind, or the moon blind, is a big army. Humanity will face the crisis of mystery again.... ”

Kurz realized everything. I didn't want a long fight. Rather, I wanted a short-term battle, a single moment of annihilation. That's why they dragged the acidic defenders into one place. He pushes two thousand soldiers into the pit of death.

“I didn't know that...... I don't know... ”

Kurz can't believe it was coming out of his mouth.

The noble commander said.

“Don't blame yourself, Deputy. I'm the one who authorized your operation. Not only me, but everyone here has admitted that your operation is the best. You're not the only one who dragged the Imperium into exile... ”

Everyone nods. A commander places his hand on Kurz's shoulder. Kurz leans down. He endured his endless guilt against guilt, anger and soldiers, as Kurz groaned.

“…… Commander. Lead the cavalry and dismount. ”

The noble commander looks around.

“W-what are you talking about? If we retreat now, the red acidity is over. It's no use.”

Kurz blames himself. The child in front of me was taking it for granted to die here. If there was no chance of defending the red acidity, it was right to continue to work here, as if it were natural.

I don't even have the slightest idea of leaving the soldiers behind...... He was already a soldier. Did you think he was an idiot? Did he think he was promoted by a network just because he was a noble and young...? Kurz blames himself for not being distracted by people.

“Someone has to tell the change bags about this. This is just the beginning. From now on, there will be war between the entire Imperial Army and the Moon Nation. Whether the change bags form an army first, or the Lunar Army headquarters reach Red Mountain first, will determine the outcome of the war. ”

Kurz looks up at the noble leader.

“With the cavalry, spread the word to the change bags. Then it makes sense for us, the proud soldiers of the Imperium, to be here. The longer we hold the enemy's ankles, the more time the Change Bags have to equip their troops. Even if we lose now, the war against the Moon Blind will be advantageous. ”

“Wait. That's weird. ”

The nobleman frowned.

“I don't have to be the one to break the news to the change bags. Well, enough to get the cavalry to run. ”

“I dare say, I'm not a very foolish commander. And they treated me like a child. The Demon Lord has a fearsome chieftain. He created tonight's horror……. ”

Kurz fears the identity of the plotter before anger. It is not difficult to defeat an opponent with overwhelming force. However, that counselor brought down the opponent by reducing his troops. It was not a task for an ordinary counselor to accomplish.

“Never before has the Demon Prince devised such a plan. We were just mobilizing powerful monsters. The Demon Prince has now been added to the plot. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have realized that until the moment of our death, that was the forefront of the Armed Forces of the Moon…… only the President recognized the importance of the enemy. From now on, the Empire needs someone like you. Survive and fight against that treacherous schemer. ”

“Deputy Schlairmacher……. ”

The young man's blue eyes mixed with anxiety. He was wondering if he would take responsibility for the operation and die fiercely with his men, or if he would survive the coming Great War.

“I agree with you. ”

A commander steps forward.

“Commander, we will stop this place. Please survive." ”

Kurz was surprised.

“Lieutenant Lakenberg. What are you talking about? Run away too. I have enough men on my tail. ”

“What a foolish notion. The commander-in-chief didn't tell you? We need to hold the pups' ankles a little longer. ”

Then the other commanders cooperated.

“I think so, too. How does one lead 2,000? ”

“It will be destroyed in no time. So that's the main preach.I 'll stay too. ”

“Idiots! ”

Kurz shouts. All the commanders here grew up under Kurz anyway. In the square, I was with my brother. Kurz popped out of his mouth for some absurd behavior.

“How helpful do you think you guys would be! Get lost!”

“How much trouble did you have in mind that would help with the whole operation?" If you poop, you have to help around. You can't do this alone. ”

“Yes. I was worried that the trail would collapse and run away. ”

The commanders smile. Kurz looks around because he's zinc. Everyone was smiling with their mouths, but their gaze was firm. It was the eye that could only be sent to those who faced death. Kurz knew he couldn't convince them of anything.

“These idiots……. ”

“Commander. We will stop this place. Quickly lead the cavalry. ”

The young man remained silent. Seeing the scene in front of him and running away alone, I couldn't bear such behavior. But they sacrificed themselves only to save themselves. No, to save the future of the empire. His voice trembles thinly.

“You want me to take the blame. ”

“Yes, sorry. For the sake of the Habsburg Empire, you must live. ”

“…… good. The way you take responsibility doesn't necessarily have to be death. ”

The young man looked at one of the commanders.

“I was trying to get ahead. That's why I wanted to help my friend. I felt a sense of camaraderie somewhere in this battle... … but I didn't think it was enough to leave it to you because you are more experts than I am. So it's my responsibility, too. ”

Kurz suddenly thought. By the way, the noble commander told me not to leave the fortress. At that time, I thought I was simply afraid of the monsters and opposed the march. I finally agreed to my operation because I thought it was just a boost…… He must have had a purpose. He ignored it unilaterally.

“I swear to you. I must kill that counselor who drove Private Icheon to his death. I'll give his head to the Graves of the Nobles. ”

“That's enough. ”

The commanders saluted. The young man also saluted. The salute lasted longer than usual. The young man said in a low voice.

“Zeke Kaiser Habsburg. ”

“Zeke Habsburg. ”

Kurz and the young man switched helmets and clothes just in case. Knowing that the Supreme Commander has escaped puts the enemy at great risk. Kurz was trying to trick the enemy by wearing the Supreme Commander's uniform.

The young man pulled out with a hundred remaining horsemen. Kurz shouts with all his heart in the Missing Command.

“Idiots, you must have drank the poison when you could have run away. But don't think you can die easily. If we don't take out more than one Ogre now, we won't die! ”

“One ogre per person. That's a hell of an exchange rate. ”

The commanders shudder. Kurz laughs, too.

“Ah, life is easy, but death is hard. From now on, mark it with your enemies. Throw one more monster on the ground! First of all, combine our interests! Ogres form squads and destroy them with fifth grade or higher Bladers! What are you doing! Move your ass, assholes! ”

“I understand!”

Your voice echoes loudly.

Kurz thought, yes. The war is not over. Rather, it starts now. I'll show you exactly how terrible humanity's Watchdog is. All of the commanders have reached that resolution.
