Dungeon Defense (WN)

I won 100,000 gold. Even the small amount of gold Citri promised to lend can begin construction on the dungeon. Plans move forward.

Initial funds... I can't believe I asked you to give them back. In the beginning, I never gave back what I had once received. If he'd spit, he'd be mine!

‘But I don't want to work...! ’

I have sex when I want to. Play when you want. I farm when I want to farm.If I don't feel like it today, I'll just leave it to the monsters. This is paradise. Even if 100,000 gold is good enough, walking out of heaven on my own feet is a language cluster.

I meant it very seriously.

“Why don't you just take it and live? ”

Laffith's eyes turn cold. It was the eyes of this food scum. Khh.

It was too much, of course. Only the best of the witches would retaliate in some way unless they were fools. Damn it.

“Why did you do it without my permission in the first place? ”

“If I hadn't moved first, Dantalian would have grown endlessly. As long as the plains are real, it is inevitable to have a relationship with the horse system. ”

Laffith bows.

“You can blame me all you want. But first, please listen to me. Dantalian. In" Operation Minerva, "Dantalian explained to me clearly. …… if the enemies were passive, I would be grateful. If it comes out defensively from that side, it will attack from this side. ”

Operation Minerva. A plot to bring Barbatos in and shut down the 8th Lunar Army. I gave it a name by crafting a plot with Lapis. When others sleep, I'm the only one who wants to fly.

“Everything has been done as Dantalian wished. But what is Dantalian doing just now? A leisurely and leisurely day. They're making excuses that the funds haven't been raised yet. ”

Raffith pointed at me with his finger.

“You are not only passive now, you are Dantalian. Every force on the continent is desperately fighting. The Demon Prince is having a fierce coup d 'état, in his own way, in his own way, in his own way. ”

I felt uneasy.

Laffith said in a tone that was not high.

“The so-called peaceful occasion is when the person who created it sits on the ground. In my eyes, it shines not with peace, but with serenity before the storm. You know that, Dantalian. When the war is over and the continent is free, the forces of the Humanity will be hostile to the Dantalians. What the hell are you doing? ”

“ ……. ”

I've lost my words.

I planned to build a dungeon to prepare for the future. I've been idle for the past few months because I didn't have enough money. Did you really prepare for the future? I gained the opinion of the people of the territory and became a lord. But was it really the best?

No, it's not.

I know the truth better than anyone.

“Don't be silly. Dantalian's power is still weak. Without His Majesty's trust, it is a force weak enough to collapse at once. You are the one who decides your own life, says Dantalian. ”

That's what I said to Lapis a year ago. By persuading me to be on my side, I made it clear to Lapis that lower Circubus is not helping.

─ It's not you who decides my life, it's me, Lapis Lazuli!

I declared so confidently what I was doing. I wonder how that reflected on Lapis.

“Nothing is finished yet. Dantalian, please stand up for yourself. ”

“ ……. ”

I was silent.

It was a hundred correct points. It's only been a year since I almost died in Leaf's Adventure Battalion. At that moment, I trembled in fear and pledged to survive. But my decision only went soft a year later. Were you arrogant because the plot succeeded? I don't care if you rest a bit, you were careless.

It's pathetic.

“You're right, Lapis. ”

Nothing is done yet.

“Those who despise us. The people who rule the world. We still have a long time to show them our power....... I never thought I'd forget that, not anyone else. There's always a military presence in your mind. ”

Lapis leans back with his right hand on his chest.

“I overstepped the subject. Punish me.”

“Without you, I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't be here. ”

I forgave Lapis with that word and also thanked her. Lapis bows deeply. There was no need for more conversation.

Desolate but no more heated air flowed between us. Something starts. No, it gets me started. Even when I decided to use the plague, I was in the middle of this air when I decided to put the continent in hell.

Yes, I have always been one of those who start. Suddenly, it drifted away from the air. Laffith gives it back...... and there's just so much to be thankful for.

You don't mean thank me for what Laffith wants. I know, so I'm going to show you now.

“You said they were the rulers of the Magic System? You gave me 100,000 gold to see my face. You'll be disappointed if you don't meet my expectations. ”

I patted his chin.

“Lapis. Tell me who paid more. Let's meet in turn.”

“I thought you might say that. ”

Laffith smiles lightly. If you're not familiar with her face, she smiles unnoticeably thin. Laffith tucks his hand inside his chest and pulls out a parchment scroll.

“Here is a list of the people who invested in goods. There are twenty-six ( ) people in the horse system. You have to meet them first. ”

“Excellent.”

I complimented her.

There are twenty-six hells in the horse system. Here, hell is a simple parable, merely indicating territory. The Magic System consists essentially of twenty-six territories.

The parchment that Laffith handed over had the name of hell listed. It was a list of the territories of those who invested in me.

Black Cretaceous Hell.

Silicon Inferno.

Great Gyu Hwan Hell ( ⁄ 2714; )

super-heat, Heat ⁄ 2.

Inferno.

Twenty other territories followed. He calls the ruler of hell the Grand Duke, and gives the title to the name of the territory he rules. For example, the Grand Duke who rules superheat hell is called the hypertrophic Grand Duke.

Twenty-two Demon Kings, based on a human continent. Twenty-six Grand Dukes ruling the Magic Cube. They are the highest tier that ideologically and substantially governs the Horses.

There are many ways to become a Demon King. He could have been the Demon King from birth, or he could have become the Demon King one day after he lived as a normal Maine. In short, there is no spine. On the other hand, there is only one way to become a Grand Duke.

Survival of the fittest.

A person with powerful power becomes the Grand Duke. I don't care where you're from, I don't care who you are. If you climb in the midst of endless competition and go up again, you become the Grand Duke. Betrayal, deceit, and conflicts ensue in the process, of course.

Some of the Demon Monarchs are as mentally corrupt as Andromalius in 72nd place…… but the Dukes of Hell are different. This pie is purely skillful.It was instinctively sublimated by when to bend down and when to hit their backs.

I decided it was time for them to bow down to me. Why? Not because I'm strong. Barbato, Marvas, Citri, etc. you must have thought I was the center of the horseman's faction.

That key figure still has no connection to any Grand Duke. We need to move faster than anyone and establish contact with the Dantalians. If you take me in, you'll be able to influence the Plains, the Mountain Waves, and the Neutral Waves…… Could there be this kind of calculation? It's a quick fix.

Laffith saw through this.

She's probably making the ducs nervous by dragging time. The ducs knew about it, but they were forced to take it. We can't afford to be left behind by the other dukes. The more powerful you are, the more alert you are to falling behind your competitors. This time, its competence was used. They tripped on my feet.

Lapis, of course. Lapis must have the highest level of talent, just because money is involved. The second thought is that it's not usually brave to be born as a lesser horseman and dare to equalize the most powerful men in hell.

‘Maybe he cared about me. ’

Lapis is not a stupid walkerholic. I think I need to rest when I rest. She was the one who suggested I go on vacation to Nibbleheim when I was suffering from Demon King syndrome.

So I didn't say a single word. I let him rest.

But in the meantime, Lapis has moved underwater for me. I acknowledged a little break and prepared for what to do next I decided it was okay to take a break and urged myself to come today.

What a woman.

I read parchment gradually and suddenly looked at Lapis. Blue eyes, like a jewel, stare straight at this side.

“Any questions? ”

I don't just judge them wrong. She thinks extremely realistically. It gives me time to recharge, calculates and moves how to persuade me. They must have progressed from lesser horsemen to here in order to act realistically.

“No, it's just... ”

I laughed.

“I'm so glad you're with me. ”

“ ……. ”

Laffith stops as if he had been wrongfully struck.

For a moment, she speaks boldly, as usual.

“That's not the only document you need to check. We've investigated the relationship between the Dukes of Hell and their predisposition. Among them are the Pyramids, the friendly Grand Dukes, and the allies of the mountain tribes. If you don't have a clear understanding of the politics, that's not the case. ”

“Oh no. I'm dying, I'm dying. ”

I felt sick. Of course, I was grateful in my heart. Of course, there were things I needed to know.

I spent the entire day reviewing the documents. Lapis' report had only the key points. He investigated this much and knew this much, and had no sense of pride at all. I just logically embraced what was important.

“That's a little weird. No matter how powerful the mountain tribes have been, there are too many Neanderthals. Is there something wrong? ”

“Yes, there is a background where the majority of the Grand Dukes of Hell are skeptical about human punishment……. ”

Plus, if you have any questions, I'll answer them right away. It's hard to be more competent than this.

Thanks to this, I mastered the power structure of the Magic System in just one day. Laura comes in midway and hears us talking, but she gets bored and goes to bed. Laffith and I talked all night long, lighting candles.

“Good.”

Around dawn I said.

“This isn't enough to implement the plan. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Ah, Laffith smiles again. I want to work hard to protect that smile. That's what I thought.

“Then let's welcome the Grand Dukes of Hell. ”

in a way that suits the Dantalians.
