Dungeon Defense (WN)

“ ……. ”

The Demon Kings keep their mouths shut. Because my offer sounded crazy.

There's only one Demon King who hasn't changed his face in a while. She looks at me. It was because only Garmigin had actually written a 'scenario' with me.

Marvas, bargains, citri. The three of you have always taken Yeon in my scenario with me. I've never written a play with my head together. I just participated according to a scenario that I had created beforehand…….

“Dantalian. What do you mean? Let the Republics find out about the Emperor? ”

That is.

Technically, this is my first time.

Until now, I have been half hidden in the shadow of Barbato and have been able to explain all kinds of intrigues and plans with my mouth, my face, and my body, directly to the Demon King.

“Comrades. From now on, listen to my plan step-by-step. ”

In other words, actors who have been hot on stage realize for the first time what their simulations have been going on behind the curtain. We do not only receive the finished drama, but we also witness the process of the completion of the drama itself.

“We need to think about this as the president of the Republic. ”

“From the president's perspective? ”

“Yes, the president can never easily trust my daughter. I may be a traitor, but I am the adopted daughter of the Demon King. Maybe it's a double agent. You're trying to use yourself for treason. The President must have doubted……. ”

Elizabeth treated me as the Devil of the Treasure.

There were over 20 Republican spies on my turf. This was also confined to identified spies. That's twice as many undercover agents combined. There were only dozens of people in one city.

Elizabeth has always been vigilant and vigilant. And now you're saying that Dantalian's adopted daughter is an exile?

There can be no doubt. No, I could have sworn.

― Elizabeth never trusts Daisy.

Because Elizabeth recognizes my skills.

I do not believe that a human being who is about my size would be sloppy enough to tolerate "Mutual Daughter Rebellion," no matter what. The more Daisy shows me proof of her faith, the more suspicious Elizabeth will be.

This was the same for me. Suppose Elizabeth's loyalty suddenly betrays her and she tries to come to me. You can't trust a traitor like that. Monsters like Elizabeth tolerate deviance from the lateral root - this was simply an unrealistic imagination.

In a sense, Elizabeth and I trusted each other more than anyone else.

“My stepdaughter will desperately try to build her trust. The information that Rudolph is the corpse of a puppet is too large. At first, it's going to be a little bit of information that's going to increase its credibility. ”

This little piece of information was the secret passageway to my castle.

I glanced around the faces of the Demon Kings after preaching.

“ ……. ”

Everyone's expression was not cool forever. Of course. I was being adamant, as if I knew all about Elizabeth and Daisy, as if I knew the nature and future of both of them.

How can you be so confident? What guarantee do you have that the future will run as you say it will? Everyone didn't say it, but everyone was asking a few questions without saying it.

But I had to do this.

I've been looking at them for almost a decade now.

Well, no one will admit how dangerous Elizabeth is. As Demon Kings, Elizabeth is merely the last heir to the Underworld. He was just that kind of person, who didn't have to be afraid, even if he needed to be.

The Demon Kings didn't realize how great a task Elizabeth had been to defend the Republic against the entire Demon King army.

But it was also my fault. If Elizabeth tried to trick the Demon King in any way, I would have stopped her...

Honestly, it's a little unfair. Why should I care about Elizabeth alone? I have always played a difficult role. Moreover, there were few people who noticed. All I could do was lose money.

On the other hand, this "chessboard" meant that Elizabeth and I were the only ones involved. There's no need to be so depressed.

“Two days from now. No matter how long it takes, Republican spies will enter the secret passageway of my Castle of Magic. ”

I smiled.

“Then we can infer where Barbatos was taken, what the President's march would be, all at once. ”

* * *

Five minutes have passed since the invaders entered the Democratic Castle of Dantalian. President Elizabeth has been monitoring the intruder's situation in real time through the crystal sphere.

─ It's been at least five years since this passageway was built.

─ Not an urgently built passageway. Was there a place like this hidden... It was really dark under the lamp.

The intruders' voices were conveyed. The secret passageway was so dark that even the projection from the crystal sphere was dark. Elizabeth looks at it with a blank gaze.

Kurzschlairmaza said next to him.

“There was definitely a secret passageway, as the girl said. ”

“Hmm.”

Elizabeth drinks the wine in the horn cup. It was almost like vinegar. Originally, Elizabeth loved the Americas ( ) from childhood, but after becoming president, she changed all her personal drinks into small items, poor farmers, and things to enjoy.

“The question is to what extent does the Dantalian control the situation? The Dantalians are already expecting us to breach the breach. ”

“Yes?”

Kurz wondered when he smashed the glass from his mouth. Despite Elizabeth, her monarch and leader of the country, drinking poor wine, Kurz is enjoying the finest liquor of all.

“I thought you checked him out with the magic of truth yesterday. The truth came out of testifying that it was never Dantalian's intention to betray him.... How would Dantalian predict our behavior? ”

“I don't really believe in the magic of truth. ”

Elizabeth is frozen cold.

“Magic that works according to the beating of the heart and the ornamentology anyway. You have to have good credibility. Oh, Hall. I wouldn't be surprised if a boy named Daisy could manipulate the rate at which his heart beats. ”

“Madam President, is that the 7000 questions I've been chasing all night? ”

Kurz smiles a little.

“That's one or two deceptive questions for a trained spy. But it's almost impossible to avoid fifty questions, a hundred questions, 500 questions. ”

Last night, the Republic's Intelligence Agency treated 'guests' very generously.

Sixteen-year-old girl with veterans who've been on the inside for decades. Daisy von Coustos was collectively accused. Though his fists did not slip, the abstinence continued for a few hours was already a rampage beyond physical violence.

Seven hundred and eighty questions were not simply a set of questions lined up. Each of the questions was intertwined like a net.

Seven hundred questions, no matter what President Elizabeth says, even though the magic of truth isn't universal. At this rate, it was enough to offset the magical weaknesses. Kurzschleighmacher said in a playful manner.

“You don't think a little boy who's only 16 has cheated all 700 questions, Mr. President. Haha.”

“ ……. ”

Elizabeth is silent.

Kurz shrugs as soon as the opponent suddenly shuts up. I heard a voice from the crystal ball, the car I was trying to talk to again.

─ A Goblin! There are only 20 of them!

─ Everyone be calm. If you don't break the march, Goblins are simple.

Kurz's eyes were somewhat narrow. Fortunately, I didn't have to roll my head to find a way to get rid of it.

“The guards were guarding it, I see. Well, it's common sense to keep a secret passageway to a minimum. But a Goblin. It might be a little clumsy. ”

“It's over.”

“Yes?”

Elizabeth still looks indifferent.

“Dantalian wouldn't have put a goblin in a secret passageway. Once there is breached, the ninth floor of the Castle will collapse at once. If you have guards, of course you will have powerful horses. That's a trick."

Elizabeth's jaw rises faintly.

At that moment, an urgent scream echoes through the crystal sphere.

─ Khhhhhhh!

─ What happened!?

─ A Hellfire Spider! There were Hellfire spiders on the ceiling! All units, turn your battle formation into dust to defend!

The crew tries to respond calmly, but the screams continue to rattle. Not only a large spider, but also golems disguised as rocks appear and attack them. The secret passageway, like the crystal ball, became a mess in a flash.

Elizabeth mutters in a low tone.

“First show the Goblins and then ambush them. It is an effective tactic, but it is also one that cannot be realized unless you have anticipated enemy forces approaching. ”

“Are you saying we were going to send a spy...?" ”

“Hmm."

The scream from the crystal ball is clearly reduced.

There was only one unit of fifteen left. Dozens of individuals' spells surround the last survivor. The man drops his axe to the bottom of the cave.

─ Help me! I don't want to die! Please save me...

Phew, and the sound of my body being chopped off sounded vivid.

Since then, only the noise of magic biting the corpse continues. The sound of shredding flesh and crumbling bones flowed into the Oval Office horribly. Elizabeth frowns at the crystal ball with an inspiring face.

“Isn't that great? ”

“I don't know what you mean, the sign is that.... ”

“Dantalian. Didn't you notice? Dantalian just killed all the intruders. ”

Elizabeth glances at Kurz.

“You don't even have to take prisoners. We should interrogate who discovered the secret passageway and dispatched the intruders, but we omitted the process as if it were natural. It means we already know that our Republic is behind this. ”

“ ……. ”

Elizabeth twists her fingers slowly to the side of her head.

“This time, I dispatched an army with low combat strength. Easily captured. But it is. I knew it already...... I sent the Sardinian speaking crew on purpose, but it was useless. Well, there was income. Just knowing that Dantalian is targeting us is enough. ”

Elizabeth smiles.

“But isn't it a little harsh to ask for a dance? That's why you can't say no, but come on in. Kurz, prepare the mission. It is time for the opening of the second ball. ”

“Yes, Mr. President. ”
