Dungeon Defense (WN)

“The heart of the empire. ”

Marvas smiles bitterly. Is it just rhetoric, or is it the implication that we've discovered this intention? If you saw it, how much did you notice....

Marvas looks at Dantalian's eyes.

“The enemy has gathered an army. The king of Polytunia commands his own army. It's gonna be a tough fight if we don't send the cavalry from the center. ”

“No matter how many armies you gather, how can you be beaten by one man, Lord Marvas? ”

His eyes gleam with laughter, like a well.

It was those eyes. There was a halfway soft corner in Dantalian's eyes, like a harmless and helpless herbivore. I thought if I rushed in and bit him, I'd surrender immediately.

Anyone who deals with Dantalian for that insults him without knowing it. However, if you attack with peace of mind, your senseless counterattack returns.

Block this side from using weapons and surround them from all sides. If you notice, the limbs are already tied up. He's like a spider. A poisonous spider that bewitches the eyes of a hunter...

The Dantalians must be one of them. She was a great actor who had natural camouflage or was good enough to control even the eyes. Either way, it must be extremely dangerous.

“No matter how hard I try, I can't match tens of thousands of troops. ”

“I heard that winning without fighting is the best way to get sick. I believe that the Emperor is the best soldier in the Demon King's army. ”

Did you know...

Marvas fixed his outer egg glasses. Dantalian was more concerned about himself than the great army of Polytunia. It was a declaration that the inside was clearly pierced.

“I'm sorry, but if you'll excuse me. I have a quick word with Dantalian. ”

Marvas sends the other Demon Kings and their commanders outside. The Neutral Demon Kings were generally fond of the Dantalians, so they didn't mind leaving it alone with their esteemed commander.

The barracks are deserted. Marvas asks with a straight face as his gaze disappears.

“How long have you known? ”

“Even though the king of Polytunia is raising an army, you didn't immediately ask for the army. He decided he was not willing to win the war. ”

Dantalian was speechless.

“You're hoping to lose, not win...... Then what are the benefits of losing?" And if you trace the idea backwards, you can get to the answer that's not so difficult. ”

“You make it sound really easy to say that. ”

Marvas felt like a child.

However, the other person seemed to think differently. Dantalian said with a serious look.

“Your Majesty suggested that I know what you're thinking. That's why you've been hanging out, isn't it? Now that we have each other's backs, it's a draw. ”

“A draw.... ”

In other words, a hostile. I'm saying that you and I are on the same level, which makes Marvas feel refreshed somehow.

“I enjoy exchanging tricks with you. ”

Suddenly, Dantalian smiles.

“To be honest, our comrades don't give a lot of stimulating entertainment. Sometimes they get bored. ”

“Huh. You treat the empire as a game. ”

“There are too many people in the world who confuse seriousness with boredom... don't you think? ”

It was a whispering tone in my ear. Marvas laughs.

“You're right. A Demon King should be able to distinguish between two parties. ”

“I'm flattered.”

“But, Dantalian. I have no choice but to question myself. If you want to stop your plan, you need to win the war, and you need an army to do that. You came here alone. ”

Marvas looks at the opponent with doubts about what he's thinking.

“You mean this, noble Demon King. The cavalry has already arrived. ”

“Oh. You mean one of you is enough?" ”

Marvas rejoices in his arrogant remarks.

“Leave it to the Sawyn. The 30,000 troops of Polytunia will be useless without taking a single fortress. ”

"Two months have passed since the order of the Demon Kings was reorganized in the Imperial Palace." During that time, the Demon King clearly seized power. Marvas nods.

“Good. What do you need? ”

Dantalian opens his arms as if playing. He lowers his waist and says.

“All forces of the Neutral Tribe. ”

Two days later, a neutral army of 15,000 horses marched forward.

The king of Polytunia marched with 20,000 troops, as if awaiting this march. The two armies faced each other in the vast plains as promised.

Combat with an army close to Saman. The continents were relieved that peace was coming, and they were once again anxious. They pay attention to the Whistle Plain, worrying about their comfort.

* * *

Both sides were facing each other in the vast plains.

At any given moment, it was magnificent to see tens of thousands of troops deploy broadly. Especially if the battle was imminent. Anxiety, nervousness, excitement, fear…… all of those feelings became a deep fog and landed on earth.

Most commanders cannot endure that kind of pressure. It's not because I'm a coward. We know that once the battle begins, we will never be able to control these many soldiers.

Orcs who get excited by the smell of blood rush to their senses, and the Goblins in front of the humans rush at their will. The Demon King who shares his emotions with them gets excited and excited. Without a certain relationship, the Demon King's army becomes a mass of chaos and flutters.

Excitement to lose yourself. Because of this, the Demon Kings lost their minds and rushed.

But now the Neutral Party has a firm foothold. It's been a long time since I deployed troops, and none of the Demon Monarchs have bothered to attack Marvas.

A group of first-line troops were guarding a serious theft. A handful of young Demon Kings twitched their mouths as if they couldn't stand the blood, but that was it.

The Neutral Demon Kings, including Marvas, watched the enemy across the plains with an unyielding gaze. Sometimes, by throwing a light joke, each other was moderately relaxed.

These are the Huts leading Elite Soldiers. Although not as well-equipped as the plains, this one seemed to be the right one as an army. You wouldn't dare go against a simple army.

However, it cannot be overcome by an army that is beyond ordinary specifications. In the game, Marvas is struck down by a warrior who led an army against Elizabeth and rushes into battle....

“Deployment is complete. What are you going to do now, Dantalian? ”

Marvas looks so relaxed. From now on, no matter what happens, it's not your fault, it's yours. "

“Please prepare a white flag. ”

“Are you willing to negotiate before the battle begins? ”

“I'll build a fence with the king of Polytunia. ”

I rode through the plains with only three horsemen.

One cavalry carries a white flag to signify death. The other cavalry has a Red Eagle flag, which stands for the hawk of the Habsburg Empire. The last one flies a flag that symbolizes the Demon King Dantalian.

The center of the plains where the two armies are fighting.

A short while later, a group of cavalry approaches from the Polytunian army. A red and white flag symbolizing the Kingdom of Polytunia. White eagles and paladins, meaning the royal family of Polytunia.

The cavalry stops a little distance from us. And only one of the hordes comes out slowly with his horse head forward. I also responded to it and led the horse.

With 40,000 troops watching, the opposing team and I meet.

“Are you here to deliver surrender, Demon King? ”

Stefan Bartory.

Eastern Giant.

The greatest monarch in the history of Polytunia.

The tall man stuffed his black beard. The king with the golden cloak on his shoulders stood tall with his horse. A solemn voice sounded like a small hoof in my ear.

I smiled thinking, "You must be twice my height."

“Great king, there is no surrender. ”

“If there is no surrender, there is only war. Other etiquette is unnecessary on the battlefield. ”

“Any king would have to walk the line. ”

The great Battery King laughed low.

“Centrality is just a word used to dress up a result that has no outcome. Jim brought an arrogant Marine here. Is there a price to pay? ”

“Excuse me, I don't think the king is here for victory. ”

The king gritted his eyebrows as if they were unpleasant.

“I didn't hear the Demon King make a big speech. ”

“The king did not seek the consent of the Council to go into battle this time. The Declaration of War was not made in the name of the Kingdom of Polytunia, but only in the name of the great king. ”

There is always enormous funding to move an army, and that funding should be covered by taxes. The problem is that the council of nobles does not easily pay taxes.

The nobles of Polytunia have agreed to pay a special war tax for the king. But at least they didn't want to go to war in their own name. Even when the war broke out, it was not their responsibility, but the king's.

I don't want to hear people's grumbles while responding to the need for war. Well, the Demon Kings may think, 'It is the same as the Declaration of the King or the Declaration of the State,' but the political system of the human race is not so simple.

“Great Battery. The situation for you will not be pleasant. ”

The king looked down at me with cold eyes.

“What would you like to say to Jim, Demon King? ”

“Even if you were to cooperate with President Elizabeth, the Great King would not have thought the empire would be guaranteed international status. That's why we worked with the president to expand the anti-moon militia. ”

But the situation is reversed.

Currently, there are only three countries on the continent that are hostile to the Empire: the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Polytunia and the Republic of Habsburg. The Battery Master must be distracted by the increasingly isolated situation internationally.

“What you want is for us to have a proper war and a proper treaty…… to make peace with us. ”

“On what grounds are you willing to cut Jim's heart? ”

“Because the king didn't ask for reinforcements from another country. ”

If King Batori really wanted to wage a war against our Demon Prince, he would have advertised this war as "Humanity Against the Evil Demon King's Army."

Just as Marvas did not invite any reinforcements to the center of the empire, neither did the Great Battery King make any excuses for the surrounding nations. I merely led a soldier in the name of King Polytunia.

It means that it does not want to cause international controversy, and it does not intend to disturb the diplomatic judgments of the continent at this time. The great Battery King clearly seeks a treaty, not a victory.

The reason for wanting a reasonable settlement with us is simple.

“You want to gradually distance yourself from the Republic. ”

Trying to get rid of the rotten East End rope and onto a new one.

Battery master bursts out a low smile.

“Suppose, as you said, Jim wants a truce. Then shouldn't we fight even more? You cannot call a truce without a name. Jim needs at least some face time. ”

Like a great king in a country, I had fast ears.

In other words, if you enter a treaty peacefully with the territory stolen, you will be treated as a weak monarch around you, so you need to go to war at all. War is inevitable unless minimal confrontation is guaranteed. That's what I said.

I bow politely.

“There is a way we can be friends without a drop of blood, Great King. ”
