Dungeon Defense (WN)

With your finger on the list that Laffith wrote on parchment? It was.

“You can see that the lower the sequence, the more mountainous people there are. It's not just a coincidence. The weaker the Demon King, the more likely the monsters are to settle in a place where there are no Humans, and the more likely they are to build the Castle of Magic. ”

As Laffith pointed out. Sequences 1 through 20 were relatively evenly intermingled with those who did not join the mountains, plains, neutrals and any faction. However, the share of mountain bands has increased dramatically from below the 20th rank.

It was clear what it meant.

“This, I find extremely reluctant to fight humans. ”

“Yes, the Demon King has been reluctant to go to war with the human kingdom ever since the seventh Lunar War. ”

The Lunar Army pointed to the Demon Kings' alliance in Dungeon Attack. Throughout history, Demon Kings have mounted massive armies to conquer the human race. I have had some success, but the results were the same.

Expedition failed.

There were many reasons for this. The biggest problem was that the Demon King's Alliance was made up of 72 monarchs. If there are many knights, the boat will go to the mountains.

Despite their superior hordes of monsters compared to Humans, the Demon Alliance Moon Alliance has been individually crushed by human plots and epilepsy. According to the game settings, there are times when a human being has not done anything and has dissolved on his own. Anyway, it was a pathetic story.

“Due to the repeated failure of the Moon Blind expedition, only a couple of mountain rangers up until a thousand years ago quickly formed a force close to the majority. In the seventh expedition a hundred and fifty years ago, even the Demon King refused to go on his own voyage. ”

“You look like hell! …… but I want to get better. ”

I smiled bitterly.

“Take profit and loss into account, it's a natural course of action. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Laffith, as a merchant, expressly agreed.

It's obvious you will lose, but why would you go into battle with such a huge army? We'll lose to our allies, not our enemies. The Demon King's natural duty was to lead the witches into the human world, and there was enough poison to pour water into it.

The problem was not this one.

Every time the Moon Blind Force expedition fails, a group of monsters, called the Maine and Humans, dies on a massive scale. Rather, the human race quickly gained power. The Demon Alliance helped Humans.

Demihumans, fairies and Dwarves who have been supporters of the Moon Blind for a thousand years have also declared permanent neutrality in recent centuries. The Demon Kings were furious with the exorcism. However, after the defeat of the Moon Blind Army, the Demon Kings had no choice but to suppress their anger.

Because what the Demihumans are proposing, frankly, is that

‘Since your Demon Kings keep losing foolishly, we are the only ones who have lost. ’

It was like this.

In front of the Demihumans who participated and sacrificed from the First Monthly Blind to the Seventh Monthly Blind, the Demon Kings couldn't lift their heads. The ugly thing was not a Demihuman. The Demon King. They lost their faith in the Demihuman race.

The Demon Lord's army has fallen.

The witches gradually gave up hope of the Demon King.

From the human world to the allies who helped the Demon Prince, I turned my back.

For example, Ivar Roadbrook, chairman of the Kunkuska Chamber of Commerce, has been assigned a personal scenario for. She was also disappointed in the meaningless Moon Blind expedition and eventually betrayed the Demon King and stood up to the warriors. In the latter half of the game, the Demon Kings formed the 8th Monthly Battalion against the warriors, but he was also destroyed because of the mountain tribe's internal division of Pymon. The Unsullied will not win a victory over the Demon King until all the Demon Kings have been wiped out from the earth.

In the end, the majority of the Demon Monarchs were strategically determined to defend their strongholds. The mountain tribes are on their own, and the plains are obliged.

- That's right.

“The Demon Monarchs are basically extremely passive. ”

No matter how many Demon Kings are herded, there are hardly any troops.

“As you can see from King Pymon's struggle against Dantalian at the hearing, even if he is aggressive, he is not helpless. ”

I found out what Laffith wanted to say. I nodded.

“Struggle is a fight for a cause. Pymon, the leader of the faction, was defeated by me just moments ago. He attacked me and lost his cause to fall. We won't be able to use force on our own unless some time passes. ”

“I completely agree. I'm not sure if I'm the culprit yet... … but maybe this is why Belial, ranked 68th, secretly supported the Reef Adventure Force. ”

Hmm.

Here's the situation.

The force I am potentially hostile to is the Demon King's top faction. If we fight with our own hands, we'll lose without a day's notice. However, they are taking a very passive strategy and have no reason to attack me at all. Even if Belial or something wants to harm me, we can't act large enough to prove it.

In short, I will not be in great danger.

On the slope, on the slope.

Do we need to slowly defend the dungeon with peace of mind? Is it all right to tremble at the Plains of Barbato, call for mediation from Marvas of the Neutral Clan, and slay adventurers and expand my force casually?

‘No.’

I denied it decisively.

I have never been a favourite enough to leave the hostiles alone. If you touch me here, I'll pay you back double. If you can't repay me twice, I'll leave it at interest and pay you back four times over. If it can't be killed, it bites your back if it can't be killed. Tolerance is a luxury granted to the strong! The weak can never tolerate the enemy. Because I don't know when my enemies will grow up and retaliate.

Enemies are passive?

‘Thank you.'

I laughed in my heart.

If you come out defensively, I'll gladly beat you out of here.

“…… This is how you do it here……. ”

“No, considering the propensity of the Frank Empire……. ”

“I see. Spreading the word actively……. ”

I have been discussing with Lapis for a long time. How you will behave. As the best player in the dungeon, I had a lot of information. I knew what weaknesses each human being had. I took Laffith's advice about what I didn't know and I came up with the perfect strategy to be satisfied.

“…… His Holiness Dantalian is truly fearful. ”

After the marathon discussion, Lapis sighs.

“No one could devise such an epic plan. Who would dare imagine that? It all comes from the brain of one person. ”

“If it works. ”

“How can I guarantee that? ”

Laffith looked straight at me.

“I bet my life on it for 200 years. Dantalian will succeed. ”

“That's reassuring. Yeah, I guess I'm the last one to smile." ”

“Then I will return to the Magic System immediately and carry out my first operation. ”

Laffith stands up, bowing politely at me. Even though my liking has reached 50, I was strict about my manners before and now. I felt relieved for some reason in her consistent posture.

“But, Dantalian. What would you name this whole operation? ”

It's a code name.

Even though I wanted to do that, I was also interested in keeping pace with Lapis. I put the name that came to my head in my mouth.

“It's called Operation Minerva. ”

The conspiracy began.

* * *

The eighth Demon King Barbato's Dungeon, collectively referred to as the Palace of the Dead.

Barbato sits on a throne made of stone. She looks at the amusement of undead monsters with her face that everything is as dull as ever. Nothing interesting has happened in her life since she got involved with the Leaf Adventure Party.

“Ah-ah-ah. All right, all right. ”

She shakes her hand grudgingly.

“Still no fun. Fuck off, you guys. ”

Undead monsters grope and fall to the ground. They've slipped out of Barbato's sight. She was bored of everything, including such reactions. Only liquor and sex were able to ease her appetite, but today neither liquor nor women were willing.

Auroth says to himself in the palace where only Barbatos lives.

“Dammit. Did you find any evidence...?" ”

Ugh, and Barbatos grabs his head with both hands.

It's been a month since I saw the Leaf Adventure Battalion defeated in front of my eyes. You hear no word of Dantalian's movements. Barbatos is distracted... Did you find any evidence? No, it can't be. If I was that stupid, that bitch Pymon wouldn't even feel sorry for me. Are you scared of the lever? Are you staggering? I didn't look like a coward. Sixty-eighty-eighty-eighth place is still a big deal! If you're a man, show some guts!....

“Ew, fuck. I don't know.”

Barbato sighs.

If Dantalion doesn't find anything or if he does find something...... it means he was that kind of person after all. Barbatos himself isn't worth expecting.

She did not obstruct the means and means for the purpose.

I was accustomed to betrayal.

I was also used to being betrayed.

“ ……. ”

She swipes her white hair.

‘...... It must be like that again. ’

It's nothing new. Barbatos mutters. Like you're telling yourself.

“Hah, well, we'll just have to wait until we find a useful cub.... ”

“Barbato ― tell aaa ― Barbato ― tell aaa ―. ”

A grim voice echoes through the Demon King's chambers.

Immediately thereafter, a faint ghost appeared from the floor. If anything, it's right at Barbato's feet. Barbatos, who was caught in the act of repentance, was surprised.

“Oh my God, fuck! ”

“Please tell me." ”

“Hey, you suck at sticking a skewer in this ass and piercing the duodenum! ”

She screams.

“When I learned, I told you to come in politely through the front door, didn't I tell you? P-Val, if you've told me enough to stack and stack of scars in that filthy ear for 500 years, you need to understand! ”

“Songhuona ― I'll tell you ―. ”

“What! Sixth fuck, if it's no big deal, I'll make you pay for this! ”

“That 's--that's it--that's it." ”

Barbato lays his hand on his dark chest. Oh, my heart almost fell out. It was the top Demon King that survived the fall of the heart, but it still didn't feel good. Even more so as Barbatos, who had been pierced by warriors in the Third Monthly Blind Expedition.

However, the ghost messenger told me that Barbatos didn't care about feelings falling from his heart.

“Dantalian ― His Highness Gaaaa ― visited. ”

What? I'm sorry.

Barbato stops.

“Dantalian came for you? ”
