Dungeon Defense (WN)

The first thing I did was arrange a battleship.

The republic of Batavia…… so the country that Pymon controls behind him, in fact, boasts the best navy. There are more than sixty large galleys that are purely government-affiliated. You can call it a monstrous maritime nation.

Pymon simply said.

“We disguise ourselves as looted by the Demon Lord. ”

In peaceful times, large battleships were often used for trading. An underwater monster ambushed a ship carrying a merchandise to the inland. I have looted seven of them at ease.

Ordinary merchants were bitten by monsters' front teeth, of course.

I said it out of ridicule.

“Isn't this Batavia's ship? Well, technically, it looks like Pymon stole Pymon's stuff. ”

“Oh my God. I don't think the Republics are my property. The state's privatization is a shortcut to the Veterans' Democracy. ”

Pymon grins. A democracy is a non-trivial object in a dictatorship.

“Please take your belongings for a moment. I'm just borrowing it for a little while. ”

“For a while, Billie, the merchants aboard the ship were killed in droves……. ”

“They're from the Congress, where Bunn has been leading the monopoly and making a mess of the market. I've always wanted to exterminate you, given the chance. ”

Pymon uncovers a gruesome story without flicking an eyebrow.

“The government said they'd lend me a large ship at a cheap price, so I took the bait. They were planning to monopolize small-town cities again... Hehe. Garbage gets cleaned up. Isn't that right?”

“Hahaha……. ”

At this time, I was suddenly touched by the fact that Pymon is the Demon King.

Pymon was idealist and Republican without hesitation to kill people. Hundreds of humans were unhesitantly drowned in the river, saying the garbage had to be cleaned up.

The Republicans wouldn't be corrupted because someone like this was overseeing them. The lump of land was as small as a bean egg, yet it boasted the same power as all the other nations. I don't know, but the number of humans that Pymon "cleaned" will surpass by a thousand. Among them, those who died unfairly...

Well, it's none of my business.

Battleships are tied together in chains and placed in a row. After building a strong bridge on both sides of the river, the battleships stand up in the middle and the bridge is complete.

Heidelberg Fortress Garrison 'Huh? He was surrounded.

Of course, the Fortress Garrison has organized a special unit to destroy the bridge. If the water line is blocked, the supply line will be cut off. Surrounding with the supply line cut off means death.

And we were expecting an enemy to attack.

* * *

“The enemy must know how dangerous it is to encounter the Demon Lord in the field. ”

Laura, now appointed chief of staff, said in front of our Demon Kings. Since the fact that she became Barbato's lover was quite public, Pymon and Citri treated Laura fairly respectfully.

“I'm sure they'll use the Minor Crystal Heritage as their primary source of strength. We form the strongest troops and break through. That's the Fortress Army's plan. ”

“I'm in trouble……. ”

Pymon flutters slowly.

“The Knights are powerful. The allies won't be defeated, but the damage will be immense. ”

“Yes. But there is a way to destroy the Knights without harm. ”

“Heh.”

Citri folds her arms and looks at Laura as if she were funny.

“How? I'm not much of a scaredy-cat, either, but I hate the Knights. It is not possible to destroy the Knights without damage unless it is Agares. Even Barbatos in the underworld is hard. ”

“With all due respect, ”

Laura insists on being confident.

“The allies are now aware of where the enemy will attack and with what troops they will attack. It is fair to say that half of your allies have already won. ”

“Well done, Dantalian's military sheep. Tell me your plan. ”

“Respect.”

Laura points to a military map.

“Bring in wizards and wizards to turn the whole area around the Neckar River into mud fields. The Knights will raid at night to revive the effects of the surprise. However, no matter how frightening the horse-drawn horse is, it is useless if the bridge falls into a ditch. ”

“ ……. ”

“Since the battlefield is by the river, the wizards will do all the magic they want. ”

Laura smiles faintly.

“The Neckar River will be a tomb for the Knights. ”

Her predictions were terribly accurate.

The Knights stationed in Heidelberg aim for the bridge at night.

Later, I found out that I led nearly six hundred knights, which was two-thirds of the troops of the garrison. Other nearby cities have sent troops.

Together, there were 1,500 knights attacking. Although the Knights consisted mostly of apprentices or academic apprentices, it was clear that they were also the finest cavalry. They rush in and set their legs on fire.

“Charge! For the President's honor! ”

“Long live the Republic! Long live the President! ”

However, as Laura intended, the battlefield was turned to mud.

The Knights were embarrassed when the chariot that was running so vigorously was suddenly blocked in the field. However, he bravely advances towards the bridge, which is a target in front of him. In other words, they proved that courage in war was never a cure for illness.

“Focus your attack on the horses. ”

Laura orders you to remain calm in the command post on the bridge.

The allies baptized the arrows and javelins just as they waited for the enemies to enter the Red Field. The whole battalion of horses was torn apart by the Orc throwing out a flaming javelin.

The stakes, the wooden stakes, the mud here. The knights march forward with all their might, but the arrows and javelins that shoot from our side make the battlefield fall. What do I do? I have to get off the horse and charge.

The knights will swim through the mud with heavy armor.

Citri looked at the scene and looked small.

“This is a masterpiece! Dantalian, look! They're like caterpillars! ”

Well, seeing people giggling at the sight of death, Citri was also a magical sentimentalist. I was the only one normal in the Demon King's army.

The proper knight used his error without a care in the Red Meadow, and charged like a locust. The problem was that it was only a minority.

A handful of knights had nothing to fear at war, unless they marched in formation and were hunted by Citri-led monster troops. Not unless the owner of the sword rushes to the swarm.

That night, the Knights carried out sixteen raids.

The Knights of Habsburg were not only as great as the British Imperial Army. But unlike in Brittany, they had no tactical advantage. We slowly died in the baptism of our arrows.

“Hmmm. I think I ran away. Should I go after them? ”

Citri tilts her head. She drenches the blood of her enemies.

“Yes. Running away in heavy armor will slow you down. ”

“Are you sure you want me to shoot him? Heh heh, I like you even though you're human. I can see why Dantalian and Barbato love each other so much. ”

Citri pounds Laura's back. Naturally, Citri's power was no joke, and Laura almost snored on the floor screaming for a short time. Citri smiles.

“You can call me sis from now on. ”

“I'm so sorry…… Mr. Citri. ”

“Oh my gosh. Call me sis!”

Laura said with a slightly bored expression.

“…… Yes. Citri.”

“Yes, yes. Hehe.”

Citri rides on the wolf in excitement.

“Now I'm Barbato's girlfriend's sister! She's Barbato's girlfriend's sister! It's an asarabi!”

She leads the wolf army and quickly disappears into the darkness.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

There was an awkward silence between Pymon and me and Laura left in the command post. After a long time, Pymon mutters beautifully.

“Hey, Miss De Farnese? I don't mean Citri any harm. She really just wanted to be Barbato's girlfriend and sister. I owe my heart to that boy, Barbato. ”

Laura smiles bluntly.

“Even the girl doesn't doubt that Citri is serious. However, what did the girl do in her previous life to become the lover of the Demon King's kings and sister...? ”

Laura looked at me with Dong-tae's eyes.

What am I?

“Wouldn't that be the first time you've been human? Excellent. You can be proud of yourself, Laura. ”

“…… ugh. ”

Laura sighs for some reason.

Sometimes she's acting like she doesn't understand. Is that what women are like? The world is amazing.

* * *

The battle ended with the complete defeat of the Habsburg army.

Among the 1,500 knights, fewer than 200 men survived. It was too painful to express in the word "annihilation." Laura de Farnese demonstrated her talents perfectly.

Heidelberg Fortress Soldiers consumed all available knights as a result of this battle. The rest of the Knights will be in a hurry to protect the fort. Our siege has been fortified in no time.

The only troops the fortress can expect now are the troops dispatched directly from the center... … Unfortunately, the new Habsburg Republic lacks the ability to wage a full-scale war.

Currently, the mountain tribes are not the only ones threatening President Elizabeth's country. The Plains of Barbato, the Neutral Wave of Marvas, Gamegin and all three forces face the border with the Habsburg Republic. Enemies are surrounded everywhere.

Because of this, President Elizabeth has a fortress on every Node. I have chosen to defend the fortresses in order to minimize their defenses. In reverse, there's no better way to use strategy than to defend the fort.

“But the enemy can't bypass the keep at all. ”

A few days after the battle was over, Laura spoke again at the meeting.

“The Armed Forces of the Habsburg Republic are extremely capable. They must have a plan to save the city without spending money. ”

“Huh? Is that even possible? ”

Citri asked as she grabbed the cake. For the record, Citri really liked cake. I don't know where I got it, but it was a wonder I ate sweets to meet on the battlefield at the meeting.

“Yes. If there is a wise scribe in the enemy army, he will remind us that the key to this siege is not to destroy the bridge at all, but here it is. If you can destroy the bridge, you don't need to mobilize a knight or an army. ”

“Ugh... I don't know. ”

Citri still had a question mark on her face.

The air in the barracks warms up. Citri had a knack for inspiring people around her with unknown warmth.

“If I'm the enemy's chief of staff, I'll prepare a large fleet. Loads of stuffed straw from every ship. Push this tip forward, crashing into the leg, and then burning the entire tip and leg. We don't have any other ship power, so it must be very difficult to stop them…… ”

Laura smiles softly.

“If we don't know the enemy's intentions. ”

The blue waters are the Parnese symbol. The other day, the Parnese family started a civil war in Sardinia, but was defeated and brought down. In the fall, Laura was sold as a sex slave.

And as you know, all the battles in Dungeon Defense are recalling actual battles in history. The wars in this chapter have intermixed two or three battles.
