Dungeon Defense (WN)

After that, Laura and I broke out of Castle Crane twice.

Laura accuses me of being an erectile orc obsessed with sex. But I had my reasons, too. That is, if I suddenly went to the village, would the Humans from the coin village be even more embarrassed?

I have informed you that this side will visit ahead of time through the Magic Crystal Ball. He even told me that this visit meant nothing and that he just wanted to see how things were going. Hmm. Isn't that sweet? I warned her about the visit in advance and told her not to be careless. There will never be a gentle Demon King like me.

The next day, I casually headed to town.

* * *

I don't know about Dantalian.

His announcement of march was like a thunderbolt from the point of view of the firefighters.

The opponent is the Demon King. He is a ruthless and ruthless tyrant who, without exception, decapitated the villagers who had previously interfered with the Leaf Adventurers. From the villagers' point of view, the name Dantalian was nothing but a pronoun of horror.

The villages flip over when Dantalian tells you he's coming. The chiefs of each village gathered for a meeting in Buryburia. They assembled on fewer horses in the village.

“I've never looked for it before, but I'm going to visit it suddenly... Oh, isn't that right? ”

“Hmm. Probably. ”

A lifetime of farming, the gentleman who was comfortably caring nodded severely.

“You want to finally pay tribute.... ”

The chiefs' faces darken.

Tribute. It was a kind of tax thing.

There was no reason for them to pay taxes to the Demon King. The Demon King demanded their loyalty and in return guaranteed their full freedom. However, the Leaf Adventure Party incident was a problem.

Twelve villages settled near the dungeon. Five of them rebelled. It was almost half the number. The Demon King Dantalian demanded only loyalty, guaranteeing total freedom. But the villages couldn't even defend their loyalty.... The contract was broken.

Among the villages that survived, there were quite a few places where they performed non-ideological shampoos like bats during the Adventure Party incident. There was a awareness among the chieftains that they would have massacred their village if it had been a little squeaky. Maybe tomorrow will be a bit of a sticky day. The meeting became increasingly depressing.

“Before He asks, let us voluntarily offer tribute. ”

A chief sighed and said.

“Whether you asked for it willingly or you gave it to yourself. The difference between the two is greater than we thought. The Demon King will show us some respect. ”

“Do you really think so? I saw the Demon King lead the army last year. It was an evil spirit.”

Another human trembles. What he thought of was the image of Dantalian speaking frenzily in front of the Goblin army. Hundreds of monsters cheering with their teeth bared! He realizes why the Demon King is called the Monster Monarch.

“I don't care who you are. Maybe we should include our necks in the tribute list.... ”

“Well, let's prepare as much tribute as possible. ”

As the meeting of the chiefs became more and more serious.

“Hmm.”

Watching that, the young chief Parsi tilted his head. He was a loyal soldier in the Adventure Party incident, following the Dantalians. I watched Dantalian from the closest place, so I knew he wouldn't just rip off tribute and wander around town like a thug.

‘This has nothing to do with me. ’

Even if Dantalian were to offer tribute, Parsi thought he would be exempt from his village. He fought alongside the Demon King the hardest in the Adventure Party case.

‘Honestly, I think the old people are freaking themselves out. I think the thief is trying to pounce on me...... Maybe you should stab him or not? ’

Parsi narrows his eyes and examines the chiefs face by face.

Smells like stink.

Parsi was illiterate, but he was born with a sharp sense of place. It was because of Dantalian's intuition. His gut was telling him. Those chiefs have a bad side to them.

“Hello, old chaps. ”

The young chief opened his mouth. People looked at him.

“Let's be honest. You guys did something to get caught by the Demon King, didn't you? ”

“Well, what are you talking about? ”

A chieftain caught it. Excellent response. But there were three other frowning chieftains. The fierce eyes of Parsi, who had lived as a hunter, did not miss more than that. What did these old bastards really do?

Out of Parsi's mouth, the formal tone disappeared and a ferocious tone popped out.

“Fuck, come on, blow it. What the hell did you do? ”

“…… I mean, what did you do? Don't yell at me. ”

“Oh, you fool. Looks like some of the villages were squeezing something. Don't you know that if one of you yells at the Demon King, it'll make you sick? ”

Parsi ridicules me.

“You're rambling on about how much tribute you have to offer, don't you think there's really no one who wants to reduce the amount of tribute with a snitch? ”

“ ……. ”

The man's face collapsed. It's a mess. Parsi was right. Anyone would do that if they could replace a great tribute with a snitch.

There is no such thing as a huge friendship between the villages. I just shared the lowest confidence as needed. In other words, we could betray each other at any time if we needed to. Last year, some villages carried vigilantes and adventurers on their backs and robbed other villages of their belongings.

The four chiefs looked at each other. They looked very embarrassed.

“That's the thing. Actually……. ”

After a while.

Parsi shouts.

“Have you seen these fools in the world? ”

The chiefs who were not involved in the incident besides Parsi looked at the group of masters with ridiculous eyes. He looked at the madman. The chief of the group of masters stutters.

“Oh, no, but it's a shame to make fun of a healthy field.... ”

“That's what you call an excuse! How can those fields belong to you? ”

What the four chiefs did was as follows:

Cities devastated by the Leaf incident. However, the fields that the villages were cultivating were not even broken. The chiefs drooled as they saw the rice fields surviving.

Can't we use them?

The town was full of boys and girls who didn't have their own farmland. They were used as a labor force because they had no family. The chief seduced them and tossed the empty farm around like a box. It's like a sheep in its own field. demanding a yield of 5 discounts per year.

“Those bastards with arrows in their heads! ”

Farsi's heart exploded. They're going to attack their own village for what they've done.

Think about it.Dantalian comes to visit you and confesses something you haven't even noticed yet? It's like he deliberately hid it until Dantalian didn't notice. You were all suspected of being accomplices.

The Demon King Dantalian possesses the territory of the villages that were lost in the rebellion. The rebel territory is returned to its conquering owner. It was common sense. What those chiefs did -- in short -- took the lord's territory freely, then distributed it to the villagers and taxed it.

It was a great rebellion.

Sovereign Tuna, Tax Deduction...... I didn't even know how far the charges would go. It was not something to be solved with the heads of three or four people. All the villagers were executed, but there was no excuse.

“D, help me. If you pretend not to know, even the Demon King... ”

“Are you out of your mind? I've never had a habit of committing suicide. ”

Farsi pulls the dagger out of his chest. The chiefs were surprised to see that.

“What are you going to do now! ”

“If I leave this alone, I'll fry the kids in my village. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to die here, old man. Hey, you guys stick with me if you want to survive! ”

Parsi's actions were bold and swift. He rushes in like a swift beast and stabs the leader of the herd. The blade entered his throat precisely. The chief collapses screaming.

Seeing that, the other chiefs took out their daggers. There was a huge commotion. The chieftains of the innocent town have won, thanks to Parsi's actions. Parsi grumbles as he drains the blood from the dagger.

“I'll give these bastards a head start. ”

“What should I do with tribute? ”

“Hehe.”

The situation has become difficult. The tribute that was not meant to be dedicated is now needed.

Basically, they were accustomed to solidarity. It wasn't because he didn't do it himself that he wasn't punished. If the brother has done wrong, the family is responsible. If a neighbor commits an offense, the five families around him are responsible. That was the era of normalization.

As the Demon King, this incident occurred because each village did not properly monitor the other villages. Parsi changed his teeth.

Suddenly, a human girl followed the Demon King around in his head. Maybe Lauryn did something. I was definitely the same age as myself. She was an incredibly beautiful woman.

“How many virgins do you have in your village? ”

“There's two of them. ”

“Three people in our town.... ”

After gathering them all, there were only ten others left. Parsi was not satisfied, but he suggested that we collect at least that and get it back to the Demon King. It would be a decent tribute to the virgins by dressing up flowers and sending tribute to the barley.

“Ouch. The village generals are already in pain about what to complain about. ”

“You have to buy slaves from outside. Tsk, tsk. The sky is also careless. How did this happen? ”

You're all mistaken. The original twelve villages were reduced to seven during the rebellion, and this time they were reduced to three. In everyone's mind, the saying that Humans are not the most dangerous enemies of Humankind, but just their own kind.

“Bastards!”

Parsi stomps over the corpse without restraint. It was a very bad move, but no one stopped me.

The chiefs immediately returned to their villages. Time is running out. I've been running into the villagers all night preparing tribute. The village virgins, who were married to the Demon King, burst into tears.

My family was branched out, but I had no choice but to stand down and say it was for the village. Isn't this a good time to live alone without the cooperation of the village?? In the deep night, the women's cries came out.

* * *

“Forgive me!”

“Please forgive me for once in your own good! ”

As soon as I got to the village, I saw these people who came out to the front of the village and shoved their heads on the ground. They were piling up grain like a pile of mountains. In front of the grain, some Orc girls sit with flowers on their heads.

Obviously this visit wasn't a big deal.

“ ……. ”

I was talking nonsense. What are you guys doing?
