Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Damn it, damn it...! ”

The knight, a middle-aged man, uttered an insult.

Knights of Heidelberg Fortress. They were humbly expelled from the city. At one time, the number of members dropped to 200 because the raid failed heavily. The vast majority of the remaining 200 are apprentices, and the knight commander is dead.

“Cursed Bruno's nightmare! Go to hell!”

The deputy commander is a middle-aged man who is currently leading 200 people.

He's been insulting Dantalian for hours. Your face is glowing red. It was because I drank all last night.

The apprentices chatted behind the deputy commander.

“Phew. Why are you insulting me since last night? ”

“The one who predicted the ambush in the enemy army is the devil's minion. Well, you're burning up. ”

The deputy commander had a solid path to progress.

Nearly a thousand knights claimed the number two. However, the Knights at Heidelberg Fortress have been brutally defeated.

After returning to the capital like this, the Knights are the only ones waiting to be disbanded.

At least the plain or apprentice article was fine. I could have been assigned elsewhere. There was no way I could be the deputy commander. He will be discharged from the army forever, embracing the responsibility of defeat.

“If it hadn't been for that bastard... Damn it! ”

If your talents are in the works, I'll make you a white soldier. However, the deputy commander was promoted to a high rank by utilizing appropriate connections and proper prescriptions. I didn't have the skills or the talent or connections to take it off the yoke of a challenging sword....

As a knight, his life ended here.

“Die... Die like a dog...! ”

“Phew.”

The deputy commander was here because he was drunk and scolded. The rest of the Knights sighed in disgust, but on the one hand, they kept walking quietly by understanding the Deputy Chief.

It was when the Knights marched on the dirt road.

In the middle of the road, a humble man sits still.

The bird had nothing to do with it, but the black cloak was luxurious to look at, and the strange thing was that it was sitting on a white marble chair on a dirt road with nothing around it. It was a strange landscape.

“What the hell is that? ”

The deputy commander speaks in a drunken manner.

“Could it be the Wizard? ”

The servant tried not to oppose the owner's suggestion and explained. The deputy commander looks strangely distorted.

“Wizard?”

“Yes. The Original Wizard is a freak. I've heard that sometimes they give riddles to passers-by in the middle of the street. who solves the riddle, who gets through, who doesn't get through, who gets turned into a toad. ”

“Hmph. There's all the star scum. ”

The deputy commander snores. However, the lower the voice, I was cautious that the wizard might hear the voice. Wizards have always been fearful and astonishing.

“Tell him to get the hell out of here. ”

“Yes!”

The servant listens to the order and runs away. The servant spoke with the wizard in a polite manner, and soon his face became embarrassed and he returned to his master.

“My lord. That wizard asked if we were the Heidelberg Knights. ”

“Ugh? You mean you know who we are? ”

The deputy commander hiccupped.

“No, I'd get out of the way if I did. What the hell? ”

“That's why...... he said that no matter what happens, he won't move. ”

“What? Ha. Now you really are an idiot! ”

The deputy commander jumped off the horse.

“I'll ask one of my best wizards what's really going on and why I can't get out of the way. ”

He pulls out a double-edged sword with a seal on it. Human headaches were easily harvested.

The deputy commander purposely unsheathed the error so as not to be pushed away, and approached the man in the chair.

“I am the deputy commander of the Knights of Heidelberg Fortress. ”

A deputy commander as big as a bear casts a shadow on the ground.

“No matter how special a wizard is, it's rude to block a Knight's march. Get out of here!”

“Hmm.”

The man relaxes and clasps his hands.

“You've come to the right place. To be precise, you have come here. No, it doesn't matter how you express it. ”

“Ha? What are you talking about? ”

“I've been waiting for you. ”

The man smiled.

There is a knight who smokes errands in front of his eyes, and even though hundreds of knights have survived since, there is no sign of fear or reluctance in a man. The deputy commander Dory became anxious. Do you think he's some kind of ridiculous high magician?

Above all, the base was extremely familiar. It was difficult to treat the deputy commander naturally unless he was as good or as noble as any.

“... What are you waiting for our knights for? ”

The deputy commander asked in a rounded tone. He was warned by a procedure that had brought him into his current position.

“Fool. ”

Suddenly, the man's eyes darkened.

The gentle, relaxed smiling man disappeared everywhere. A dark red life flowed from the man. The deputy chieftain who had never gone anywhere dared to look at me stopped.

“What were you waiting for, you pig? ”

“What, what? ”

“You shoot from the sun with a look on your face when you can't even fulfill the order you gave. ”

The deputy commander takes a deep breath.

He realized who his opponent was. There was only one class that would convey the 'order of the president' to him. It must have been a secret mission from the President, the leader of the great Republic!

The deputy commander picked up an error immediately.

“Th-think your servants don't recognize a nobleman. ”

“You smell like booze. You must know very well that the faculty is waiting for you in the capital. I'm having a goodbye drink on this trip. ”

“Huff!”

There was nothing more to see.

The deputy commander throws his two-handed sword to the ground, throwing away his pride as a knight.

“Forgive me!”

Did I feel an unusual turn of emotion? Your men rumble behind you.

The deputy commander bows down on one knee without hesitation. Pride was important, but pride could be taken at a later date, while life could never be redeemed.

“Forgive? Forgive what? ”

The man grins brutally.

“Do you have any idea what you have done to the great president and the Republic? Fine. Let's use your drunk mouth to recite your sins. ”

“Because of the failure to assassinate the Demon Prince's executive.... ”

“What the fuck does that mean, he's back in the capital! ”

The reaper exploded.

It was creepy enough to be mistaken for a wide sky. The deputy commander nodded in surprise, and the knights behind him nearly fell down. It was clear that he used magic to enlarge the stature.

“You pig! Make up your mind! ”

“The cow, the plaintiff, wanted to participate in the mission somehow…… but the mayor was forced to…… because that crafty band of Sagals couldn't be included in the mission……. ”

“Hmph.”

The man's voice is slight, but relaxed.

“The president gave your knights the slip. Are you sure?”

“Yes, yes. Absolutely."

“In short, you're also responsible for the assassination. ”

“You're right……. ”

The man's question sounded a little strange, but the deputy commander tightened his head. I didn't think I'd be sentenced to immediate execution here. It was a priority to get out of the situation.

“There's one thing you've done well. Do you know what it is?”

Face to face, pride and abandonment. His voice became much sweeter. The deputy commander glanced at me and humbly replied.

“A cow, a small child, can barely bear the guilt of ignorance. ”

“That's what I asked. I spilled the secret. ”

“ ……? ”

The deputy commander raised his head.

The man was smiling refreshingly.

‘Wait.'

The deputy commander frowned.

‘Apparently, he hasn't yet identified himself.' ’

The deputy commander couldn't keep up his mind. Suddenly, my vision turned upside down, and soon everything became black. Only silence covered the world.

“Of course, I thought Elizabeth was confident in just one person. Thank you for your kind answer, Deputy Chief Friedrich. ”

The deputy commander's head fell to the ground and rolled.

The sword that rises out of the man's shadow takes its supply and sinks back. The Knights were appalled by the catastrophe that was unfolding right in front of them. But they didn't have much time to be frightened, and even in their shadow, the blades began to protrude.

“No, it's magic! He's using magic! ”

“The Vice Captain is dead! ”

The Knights have fallen into chaos.

The man takes the deputy commander's supply and pulls the artifact out of his arms. The teleportation spell triggered when the artifact was torn with both hands, and the man and the chair moved to a nearby forest.

The man hides himself in the bush and watches the Knights fall from afar.

In the shadow, the Knights fell without hesitation. If I had experienced knights, I would have told them that this is a magic, not a death, and that there must be a host nearby, but I have not endured it in the same order as the rebellious knights.

In the end, about a hundred of the 200 people were killed and the rest fled without weapons.

“ ……. ”

The man ripped the cotton wool from his face. There appeared the face of Dantalian.

Dantalian mutters as if he were tying himself.

“...... This war is on me to repay Pymon for his death in the civil war. ”

The glory of victory, the purpose of war, all deserved to return to Pymon.

If Dantalian was excited about the assassination and cried out for revenge, Pymon had no choice but to listen. Dantalian and Laura contributed decisively to the capture of Heidelberg.

Dantalian endured.

Just as Pymon forgave himself without any blame in the Frank civil war, Dantalian also did not complain and only considered political gain. Even if his own men were almost assassinated, we could never publicly avenge them…….

“At least you got your hands on my men. ”

Dantalian glances down at the deputy commander's head on the ground.

Dantalian knew very well that Laura wasn't the one to claim revenge. She was content to serve him, and if he wanted to help Pymon, she was unwilling to settle for revenge.

But Dantalian made no promises earlier. I will avenge the insults my men have received.

It was never a light promise.

To keep his promise, Dantalian tracked the Knights through the night and day, finally choosing the best place to strike and taking revenge.

Dantalian secretly placed the supply of the deputy commander in Laura's room in the dungeon.

Laura was curious about the sudden increase in collections, but she recognized that the headscarf was the flag of the Knights of Heidelberg Fortress. And I immediately realized who did this and why.

“The Lord is more perverted! ”

“No, Laura's a pervert! ”

But Laura never mentioned anything to Dantalian. Dantalian also did not give Laura any suggestions. Two of them spent the day gossiping and laughing at each other as usual.

That was the way two masters exchanged their minds.
