Civilization Game

“Stand by for archers! ”

“Prepare for the first wave!

The day of battle is near. There are 20,000 of Abyss' troops stationed at the Gateway and surrounding Empire. In the meantime, Abyss' morale was immensely high.

It was also difficult for the Kasar army to prepare for an invader on the walls. Their faces, which were blossoming with new hope around protection, were united.

And so began the final siege of the Casargon in the capital, Empire.

On the first day, it flowed to the aspect before the search rather than the power struggle. The ladder runs across the wall and the arrow rises and falls. Siege weapons have struck the gates. At this point, the Heroes of the Abyss did not step forward, but focused on the command of the soldiers beneath the walls, and Casar watched the situation from day one without using the Wave Knights directly.

Lord knows his way around an Empire siege once already. At least it wasn't a quick place to break through in the short term. There was also a tougher resistance awaited when it penetrated the outer sanctuary. With the long war in mind, the overwhelming number of troops returned to the rotation.

‘We just have to win this battle. If only Casar could absorb it, no country would be able to overlook me but Argon. ’

Although Serena's movements were concerned, Lord decided to approach her with caution. Then the commander's window notification flashes under his gaze.

- Chielo Black Note has requested a 1: 1 conversation with Lord Polentia.

“… Huh? What happened to him all of a sudden? ”

The Lord questioned and pressed the Accept button. A conversation screen popped up, and I could see the girl's face, with her broad witch hat and her two ribbon-tied, sparkly hair hanging on her shoulders. Today's condition was a slight look on his dark complexion.

“Cielo! It's been a long time. ”

Lord greets you with a big smile.

“Been a while. How's the Hades War going? ”

“…… Ah-ha-ha. Rod.”

Chielo gives a difficult smile by touching the two swords.

“That's the thing. ”

She turns her Commander's spear 180 degrees to allow Lord to see the situation.

“ ……! ”

The scene on the screen was shocking. Burning houses, crumbling castles, terrible screams. The witches who were flying around on broomsticks were hit by arrows, and their sanctuary, the monastery, was crumbling with a sound of profit. In the streets, four-legged monsters hunt and devour humans.

It was Peronet, the capital of Celine.

“…… You can't be. ”

“I'm sorry. I lost. ”

She turned the screen back and said calmly. Lord frowns for a moment, then hurries to ask.

“…… why didn't you say anything until this happened? ”

“Just yesterday, the situation was tense. ”

“Well, then why? ”

“Argon.”

As soon as he heard the word, Lord was heartbroken.

“The Dragon Riders of Argon have appeared on our battlefield. An army of main power witches focused on the undead in front of them were slaughtered by Bress, who fell from the sky. It was an irreversible blow, and the attack swept the battlefield. ”

The palm of Lord's hand is sweaty. Are you suggesting that Argon was involved in Kelvin's war? They were still fighting Evgenia. Is it enough to divert Evgenia's power elsewhere?

‘…… where are we looking? Serena.’

You're distracted. It wasn't a direct assault, but Serena's already set the situation in motion for her own benefit.

That first part killed Celine.

It would have been because she was a strong ally of Abyss'. I couldn't blame Chielo for his defeat. Even if you were confident, you wouldn't have anticipated a third party attack.

“Are you hurt? ”

“... Hahaha, I got out somehow. ”

Chielo smiles, but her jaw trembles lightly.

“I can't do this anymore. ”

“…… you! ”

Rod bites his lip tightly, thinking about it and then opens his mouth again.

“Where are you? I'll go. Casar is like catching them all, so if you could just postpone it for a moment... ”

“No, don't do that. ”

She runs away.

“I told you, he's retarded. There's nothing left. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm sorry. That's as far as I go. ”

As if saying good-bye, she said so.

You hear the witches screaming with a loud bang outside. “Your Majesty! You must avoid them! Your Majesty!" It seems Hades' pursuers have pursued you. The urgent voices of the witches heard off the screen make Lord's heart pound even more.

“Run. Save your lives first. If you don't have anywhere else to go, you're welcome to go to the Underhaim. ”

She pauses for a moment and smiles.

“Hehe, don't worry. I don't want to give you my annihilation bonus over there. ”

“... Hey, Seo-yeol. ”

Lord's gaze is sharpened.

“Cut the crap and live. It's not too late. We should be able to start over. ”

“Hehe, thank you very much. I'll give you 80 points. ”

“... Hey. ”

“See you later. ”

She unilaterally closes the conversation window. Load attempted to speak again, but failed due to system latency restrictions.

“…… ugh. ”

Suddenly, I felt a crisis approaching.

And that crisis has blown from far away, not here in the middle of a siege, Empire.

‘... This is my fault. ’

Caesar blindsided me, thinking that Chielo would do well on her own. I couldn't take my eyes wide. Why did they think Argon would only focus on expanding its territory?

After hearing of Chielo's defeat, Lord rarely focuses on siege wars. Though he was in command, his concerns continued.

‘I tried to take Casar and fight Argon right away, but I couldn't. We have to deal with Hades first...'

“Hey, panda! ”

You hear Unibell's loud shout from afar.

“What are you doing without orders? I'm gonna fucking bruise you! ”

‘Oops.’

Rod sends a beacon, and the riders wave a flag. Then Unibell's forces march toward the wall.

"Ugh, I can't concentrate. ’

*

On the first day, the siege ended with a modest achievement.

Since the durability of the gate has been greatly degraded, Tia reported that she will be able to break through the first one tomorrow. But Lord couldn't focus entirely on Tia's briefing.

Lord Lord is resting in the commander's tent, and a message from the new commander's spear is received. It was sent by Chielo.

- We have a problem. Can you get me the coordinates for that? I'll go ahead and talk to him.

‘… a problem? Could there be a more serious problem than a country collapsing? ’

Lord sent us coordinates in a message. Immediately, the voracious magic gathered in the air in the tent and the Warp Gate began to open.

“… Your Majesty! ”

You feel a magical movement, and the assassins on the outer perimeter run through the tent. Rod raises his arms and blocks the way as they try to take down the Warp Gate.

“Oh, he's a guest I've called. It's okay. ”

Immediately the gate was completed, and a girl with a bright head appeared in it staggering on her own.

“Cielo!”

The condition did not look good. The clothes were torn apart and there were burns or bloody wounds everywhere. I can imagine how fierce the battle must have been for the queen, having suffered this far.

As she tries to collapse, Lord rushes over and grabs her shoulder. A small sense of weight was conveyed that Chielo was leaning completely. As she lays her eyelids down, she looks up at the rod and smiles at the basket.

“Hello, Rod. ”

Lord looks at the assassins in relief.

“Got it? You guys get back. ”

They disappear from their seat like shadows, with the words, "Excuse me." Now there are only two left in the tent. Lord sits her on a cot and asks.

“You okay?"

Rod asked me that question, and I thought I'd ask him for no reason. How is it possible for a country to be destroyed? He is angry at his stupidity that can only start a conversation like this, but Chielo smiles hard.

“I'm fine with it. ”

“ ……. ”

The air settles heavily within the tent.

Her fake smile breaks Lord's heart even more. Why are you trying so hard? You just have to say it's hard, you just have to hope for comfort. If I was not angry, I could still accept the blame of an incompetent ally.

The silence lasted a long time. Lord wanted to give her time to clear her mind, and she didn't ask, so she didn't say anything.

A short time later, Lord asked.

“How much have you lost? ”

It was cruel, but I had to suffer losses as an ally. She replied without color.

“The capital was taken and the troops were wiped out. Witches were almost annihilated, and the horns were scattered. ”

“… Luna? ”

Luna was an Ace hero, representing Celine. She shakes her head.

“Most of the heroes are lost. ”

“…… hmm. ”

Rod did more damage than he expected.

“Did I tell you? He's been taken from us, Ace, and the Faith. Hades has taken the capital, so he will face the capital penalty. Ah, actually, it ends with" king. "”

I was speaking with a gentle tone as usual, but I couldn't hide the tremor of my voice.

“… Yes, it is. In fact, the end……. ”

She doesn't finish her sentence, but she's blurry. For the first time, her emotions were cracking. Lord grabs her in his arms.

“I'm sorry. ”

I felt cruel. After having a happy home with new people in the new world, we had to fight to tear it down.

To protect my home. To end a war that never ends.

“…… Why are you apologizing to me? ”

She laughed and said. The crack was briefly repaired, and the weaponized smile revealed again.

“I had no choice. I lost because I didn't have enough. Argon's Raid? I can't believe you didn't prepare for that kind of variable. You're disqualified. ”

“…… Chielo. ”

“I'm really okay. It's all over now. ”

She said that and slapped Rod on the shoulder. Lord was amazed. Is that guy you knew all along, Seo-yura? She was really strong.

“Even if I did, I had a problem. ”

“What?"

“Hades is rushing over to Empire rather than killing the rest of our troops. ”

Lord Lord's heart beats once more.

“Hades is coming? ”

“Yes. Maybe……. ”

“... perhaps to take Casar's downfall bonus to the fishery. Hades must have abandoned his alliance, Casar, and joined Argon. The arc is gone.”

“Sorry. At least I should have marked Hades..." ”

With a blurry tail, Chielo slowly raises his head and looks him straight in the eye.

“ ……. ”

Somehow, the rod glared down at the awkward eye contact.

Beyond the clothes torn by the battle, you can see her delicate clavicles and chest valleys. I can't believe I'm even close to this place.

“So I'll take it. ”

Chielo closest to the road. With a pink flush on his face and a meaningful smile on his mouth.

“… What, what? ”

Fresh lips pop like a bouquet of flowers, giving off a shallow voice.

“Punishment for wrongdoing. ”

My breath was hot. Chiello gently rises over the rod's knee in a flash. With her body tightened, she rubs Rod's face with a gentle hand. You feel a tingling sensation in her voice and gesture, though it was a young girl's body.

Then Rod flinches. A dagger peels out of your waist dance pocket.

‘…… what are you doing! ’

Her hand pulls out the dagger, but it's not swift or intimidating. Her movements are relaxed, even though she could grab her wrist from this side right now.

She holds the dagger in Lord's hands and wraps it around her hands. Then he turns the tip of his sword to his neck.

“At least Kelvin's downfall bonus, to Rod's brother……. ”

There's blood on Rod's face. The power is in her hands.

“Hey, you! ”

When the snowy road jumped up, Chielo fell down, shouting "Oh." The dagger falls to the ground.

“Why are you doing this? ”

Lord howls at the dagger. Sitting on the ground, she looks up at him with her eyes wide open.

“... What's wrong with you? Hades is coming. It's the most realistic contingency for Abyss to take Kelvin's annihilation bonus. ”

She smiles as Lord fails to respond immediately.

“Otherwise, I can't let you die. Are you going to recite such a cliché? On a battlefield where so many people are risking their lives? Rod's not a kid anymore. ”

“... it's making people crazy today. ”

Lord mutters on his forehead.

“Whew, yeah. Fine! I'll tell you if I want to! Kelvin's existence is Warp Gate. And Wargate is a player interlock skill, so when a player disappears, foreign countries are disabled and sealed. The Destruction Bonus? It doesn't matter how many things I already have! It's better to capture you and keep using you as a warp gate! ”

The screeching road sighs deeply and straightens out. Then he said in a calm voice.

“... which is why it's a side effect. ”

“Yes?”

“The most important reason is' I can't let you die. 'Idiot.”

Chielo's eyes were shaking sharply.

“If you suppress your emotions, who will reward you? It's easier for people to see you when you're smiling and pressing down like that. I can't blame you for your personality, but at least this time...! ”

Borate magic appeared in Lord's right eye.

“Can't you be honest at a time like this? ”

“ ……. ”

Tears started to fall from Chielo's eyes.

“… Ah? ”

She steals the eye area with her sleeves, startled. I did so until my sleeve became moist, but I couldn't stop the tears.

“… Hahaha, why is this suddenly……. ”

After the last heat flowed, it became an unbearable flood. It was unbelievable.

Chielo was bawling.

“ ……. ”

Lord is bowing his head with a grim face, and a new notification window pops up.

- Argon's Leon has defeated Evgenia's Scott Julia.

- Argon's player receives the Destruction Bonus.

- Evgenia is completely destroyed. (8 Countries Left)

Rod bites his lip.

‘Serena...! ’
