Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

I hate politics! I hate nobles even more.

Kurzschlairma was desperate. He was listening to his boss whine. Kurz's boss was a noble soldier. I didn't even have to wash my eyes and look for any advantages except that my blonde hair is beautiful.

“Look. The point of the war is to fight each other first. ”

The little nobleman is chattering.

‘Has he ever starved for a day? ’

One day Kurz and his troops were surrounded by hostile forces and could not bear to feel hunger. Soldiers are like that. Soldier's theory and reality are different. Does the young master understand it with his head...? Kurz sighed deeply in his mind.

“The monsters are desperately trying to take down the castle. But to our Imperial Army. ”

Bang, and the noble commander slammed the table.

“There are still three acidity! This gateway has been abandoned for a thousand years. In other words, our empire has been winning for a thousand years. The third princess praised this as the extreme of the law of war. ”

“I see. I salute you, your servant, and your grace. ”

Whatever's on your mind, Kurz said. There's nothing to complain about out here. Kurz, however, was in a daze without revealing his true feelings.

So I said I was in your good graces. If this battle had been prepared a victory factor a thousand years ago, it certainly had nothing to do with its immediate superiors. That horse is a mockery disguised as Abu.

“What. I'm also a proud soldier of the Empire. I'm ashamed of myself for not doing this. ”

The boss laughs. As expected, Kurz hides his ridicule.

The young man didn't even realize that he was mocking. Born in a good family, with good education, he leads a quality army. That's all the noble superiors have ever walked into. I've been living the opposite of Kurzwein the commoner.

Kurz was not jealous. I was just envious. Some Humans can live without carrying their brains around in their skulls. That was surprising.

Kurz thought, "If you can empty the skull and fill it with bribes of your own free will, now would be the time to take the bribes out." It is not rational for a child to be able to keep up with the noble commander's legislature.

“It's urgent, Mr. President! ”

Then a messenger ran into the barracks. Kurz was happy and wanted to shout for joy. However, his decades of experience as a high-ranking soldier have naturally brought dignity to his voice. In addition, I frowned at the impression that I was interrupted during a pleasant conversation. He had almost instinctively mastered how to show his superiors.

“Don't make a scene. This is the Commander's barracks. What's going on?”

“Yes, yes. Beacon Mounds bloomed on the Blue Castle. Beacon Mounds! Tier 3! ”

It's started! Kurz's heart trembles.

In several kingdoms, including the Habsburg Empire, Beacon Mounds were chosen as follows:

Step 1. Up to ten people appear in the change.

Step 2: 500 to 500 foreign nationalities appear in the change.

Step 3. Five hundred to less than a thousand external persons appear or enter the change.

Step four. Over a thousand outsiders attack the Beacon Mounds.

The messenger reported that the Beacon Mounds had bloomed three times. About 500 hostiles were caught in sight. The commander-delegates on each acidic site, including Kurz, were as expected.

The Demon King's army has a total force of about a thousand. With just a thousand men, we mobilized to capture the two obstacles: Green Acid, Blue Acid…… The enemy's operation was effective. Obviously, the green acidity collapsed powerlessly.

‘Some of the Demon Prince's men are quite resourceful. But from now on, it won't be up to you. ’

Kurz smiles in contrition. Perhaps the Demon King's army has made a fool of the connection between the castles.

Basically green-blue-yellow-red each move separately. The goal of the castles is to slow down the Demon King's march rather than repel the Demon King's army. If delaying the march speed is the only goal, it is better to force many obstacles on the enemy than focusing the troops in one place.

‘But as long as we know that the enemy's objective is not an inland invasion, we don't have to be obsessed with the acidity. ’

The Demon King's army was only a thousand men. It was hard to think of it as an incursion inland for the troops. On top of that, the march is very slow. The enemy occupies the Green Mountain and hesitates for three days.

If the Demon Lord had intended to invade inland, he would have sought more than anything to speed things up. Imperial change bags take the castle down before the troops are sent, that's the strategy the Demon Kings have taken over the last thousand years. But not this time…… what does this mean? Kurz came to a conclusion after much deliberation.

The enemy's goal is to capture the green acidity and the blue acidity.

If so, then Kurz judged. Eliminate enemies before they capture Blue acidity. At that time, the enemy divided a thousand troops into two to launch a bilateral war. A chance for each wave. While the Blue Acid stands in the way of one of the enemy units, the Yellow-Red Guards unite to smash the other into pieces in a heartbeat.

“Mr. President, I think it's time we set sail. ”

“Mmm-hmm. Commands to all troops. ”

“Yes, we Red Acid Defenders will march at this pace. ”

The noble commander was a child who had never been to war, but he was not very stupid. If he explained it hard, he could understand the gist of the strategy.

“But Deputy. ”

I asked the noble commander in an uneasy voice.

“Wouldn't it be better to greet your enemies at the Castle? You don't have to go out there and fight the monsters. I guess I'm nervous. ”

“…… Mr. President. ”

That sound again? Kurz is sick of it. The operation was already set, but the kid kept saying that. Kurz wanted to shout.

“I understand the fear of monster armies. But what if we leave our enemies alone? ”

“Hmm.”

“Enemies will occupy the acidity and sit on their asses. The Black Mountains are occupied. Our Imperial forces must not move to reclaim it again. ”

In other words, this time the Empire forces will siege against the Demon King…… In a typical siege, the attackers must have three times the number of defenders. At this time, the defenders are monsters, not humans. We need to deploy at least five times more troops. It's hard to imagine the amount of damage it would cause.

Twenty years ago, it happened. At that time, green acidity remained occupied. In the end, the acidic defenders united with the change bags to target the acidity. Even if you managed to defeat the monster, that was when you borrowed the Change Bag's hand.

“But you know what? But isn't that okay? The original mission of the change bags is to support us. Friends help allies. I don't know where there isn't a lot of stuff. ”

Kurz finally frowned. The noble commander was too stupid. An ally helps an ally, but the military is not that simple, even if it seems plausible.

Moving the troops costs money. How much resources and food will it take to prepare for a siege? There are no territories assigned to the acidic defenders. Poor. In the end, those preparing for the funding become change bags.

What happens when only change bags spend money? The acidic defender owes them. In all the battles to come, the acidic defenders have no choice but to hand over their command to the change bags. This is a serious threat to military command. Is that child aware...? Kurz said, feeling sick.

“If we lose the acidity, we become a liability to our defensive forces. Taking back acidity, on the other hand, is a lesson in change bags. Mr. President, I'm afraid. What do you think of the commanders of the acidic defenses at the top of the Imperial Army? ”

“Ah.”

The noble commander shouted. Kurz laughs inside. Have you realized that now?

“Begging your pardon. In short, the commanders of the acidic defenses are blocked from advancement. In fact, the commanders who lost their green acidity 20 years ago didn't get promoted until they retired. ”

“I see. I can't help it. I have no choice but to settle on a spin. We mustn't give lessons to the Change Bags...... They're the Crown Prince. ”

The nobleman nods several times.

Kurz had a hunch his boss had been persuaded. He was even more pathetic to his superiors. When I heard the strategic advantages, I rebelled against them, and I simply convinced them by bringing out their political flaws. After all, he was a typical nobleman who was blind to his advancement.

Kurz was accustomed to these characters. The Habsburg Empire has dispatched some of its finest elite soldiers to the Castle in the Black March. In the castles, monsters are fought once a year. The commander also naturally establishes an air force. If you build an air force, you will get promoted....

The Castle Castle in the Black Mountains was eventually being used as a tool for elite noble soldiers to thrive. When did this happen? Kurz advised me.

Ten years ago, it wasn't like this. Acid commanders were assigned the most promising talent. Protect the frontier of mankind. A person was chosen to fulfill that mission. But it changed from one moment to the next. The prince and the princess plunge into a struggle for power, and somehow they begin to despair to get their own faction into the military.

‘Empire forces remain strong. There's been too much political activity lately. Tsk, tsk.'

Kurz stopped thinking. It was not good for the soldier to be overly political. Soldiers protect the Emperor and the people of the Empire and eradicate the evil of the Demon King. That was the whole mission. Kurz is a proud Imperial soldier who wants to fulfill his calling.

‘Then I'll have to scold this child first. ’

Kurz smiles bitterly. He said.

“Mr. President, don't worry. We have a thousand enemies, while our allies reach 2,500. And the enemy is divided into two. There is no element of defeat for our Empire army. ”

“Hmm. I think so, too. It's just, uh, weird anxiety. ”

Really? Kurz laughs inside. The voice is trembling.

Apparently, the youngster was not military enough to find reassurance in the strategic factors. At this time, we had to draw out other elements as bait besides strategy.

“Spin at the enemy and break them apart. You will eliminate thousands of monsters. Your reputation will sway the entire empire. ”

“The deputy's right. ”

The nobleman's face brightens. Kurz was convinced that his reputation had been set ablaze in the young boy's heart. The noble commander was now 19 years old. At that time, the soldier was hungry for fame and fame above all else.

Kurz shakes his head.

‘I can't believe I have to take care of the kids at this age... Ugh. ’

The incompetent nobleman was in trouble. The only good thing was that the noble commander knew his subject and relied on Kurz's tactical capabilities. Kurz was currently the leader of the Red-Yellow Defensive Force.

Kurz sends his sympathy to the unsung enemy chief. The bilateral operation was quite good. However, you were prejudiced that the acidic defenders would only defend the acidic stronghold.

‘At least I'm not that stupid. ― ― Crucify the 2,500 elite soldiers of the Imperial Army, the Demon King. ’

Kurz has dispatched the entire garrison.

* * *

“Your Excellency, reports that the Imperial Army has moved. ”

I told Zephyr. Zephar nods.

“You're stuck. Dantalian, raise the Beacon Mounds. ”

“Yes. Let's give the advance order to the rear unit. ”

I gave Laura an order. Laura bows her head and moves quickly.

I turned my head to look at the blue acidity. There was a full-scale siege. The Humans have successfully defended our attack... It seems so. The truth was different. We were just attacking passively.

Aggressive assault takes place after the rear troops have joined. A total of 15,000 monster troops are pushed to the brink. The enemy must be relieved that there are no Ogres here. We only have five Ogres, and you'd think they'd all be sent to the front. Poor thing.

We have ten Ogres. The other five are included in the rear unit. Like green acidity, blue acidity will easily drop.

The victory and defeat of this operation lies in the discovery of a hidden army behind it. I managed to stay out of sight. No, I made sure the enemy didn't send scouts. For the Humans, we will deploy as many troops as possible on Blue Acid to prevent our attack. That's why all the scouts turned to the garrison.

They may have done their best to win... but poor thing. The enemy has completely mistaken our intentions.

“You're a terrible man. ”

“I'm not sure I understand what you mean. ”

“Heheh heh.”

Zephar smiles weakly. He was almost always an expressionless man, but he laughed frequently since the last meeting. He seemed to laugh often in front of me. I also like it more than 20. After reading the psychology, Zephyr was very fond of me.

“I find Captain Barbatos a bit annoying just when he asks you to take over. I am a natural warrior. The tutoring class for teaching tactics to the counsellor was rather annoying...... But I thought he was like this. You should call it a hat, not just a counselor. ”

“I'm flattered.”

Zephar shakes his head.

“It's not a compliment. I see why the commander likes you so much. Humans won't know what went wrong until the moment they die. I am truly curious as to what battles you will be recording in history. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I laughed beautifully. Zephyr didn't talk anymore. He gives the order calmly but never slowly. Thanks to his command, there is no major damage to the siege. It was a solid command. I had a lot to learn.

By the way, I was surprised to learn that Kurzschlairmazi is among the enemy's top brass. I interrogated the prisoner Humans and found out. Kurzschleigh Maher and Dungeon Attack were quite familiar with the names.

The man is an experienced host who will later serve as a friendly soldier for his group. Soldiers from the commoners to the generals. It is favored by the warriors from the same commoners.

Greetings in ten years. He now serves as commander-in-charge at Red Castle. It's a joke of fate. I was confronted by my own vanguard.

Kurzschleigh Maher must be killed. He plays a role in weakening the class conflict of the Habsburg Empire in the future. Despite being a commoner, generals use such images. Empress Elizabeth enhances the support of the commoners by bringing them in.

Let it flow that way.

Princess Elizabeth is extremely dangerous. She was the best friend in Dungeon Attack. The warrior killed the Demon Kings, but the princess helped the warrior behind her back. Without the Empress, the warrior would have been killed in a real struggle. As the Demon King, the Empress is the worst enemy... We must at least cut down the power of the Empress. Killing Kurzschleigh Maher is the first thing.

Suddenly, sympathy arose for him. I'm so unlucky to work at Red Castle.

‘Unfortunately, Kurz, you must die. ’

Soldiers who will be named masters in the future will die here without blooming flowers. No personal grudges. Rather, I liked Kurz as a gamer. He was a great character.

But I am no longer a warrior or anything. A Demon King who has decided to walk the path of hell. Laura helped me with my decision....

General Kurzschleigh Maher. Sacrifice for my survival and prosperity. I told you a lot in the game. I am a proud soldier of Habsburg.

Fight the Demon Prince and die. It's an honor to be a soldier. Soon I will prepare you for a glorious death.
