Dungeon Defense (WN)

The mercenaries quickly ravaged the city.

Maybe it's because I was ambushed. The Salzburg garrison failed to respond properly.

“I'm under attack! ”

By the time the alarm rings in the city spire, our vanguard has already crossed the nocturnal walls. Red blood splattered on the blade of the mercenary. Along with the sound of the bell, the scream broke the evening sky.

Salzburg was a beautifully organized town. But critically, the exterior was blurry. It was not a fortified city.

The Habsburg Republic fortified all cities bordering our empire, but Salzburg remained at the southern end of the Republic, where there was no need to worry about invasion. You didn't expect them to attack you across the mountains leaving the plain in one piece. This is why I came to the Alps on purpose.

“The war will be over fresh. ”

I looked around the city with a one-handed telescope.

“How did you expect us to breach the Alps in three days?" ”

“Thanks to the master's tricks. At best, I thought five days was the limit. That's what the President of the Republic would have thought. ”

Laura gives the blunt orders.

“We don't need to keep humans alive. If we lose them here, they will not become citizens, but rebels, and they will hunt us down. Thoroughly pillage, slaughter and leave no aftermath. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The cavalry commanders received orders and spread to the plains around the city. Citizens fled into the wilderness, but the cavalry chased and killed them like rabbits. Salzburg, comprised of about 10,000 people, literally disappeared that night.

Our troops raided the civilian camp, the food warehouse, and the Resistance to secure the supplies. It wasn't much food. I was able to last a full month or so in the full moon. Somehow there was more salt in the warehouse than grain, but I took enough to get it and threw it all into the river.

“That's all the money... ”

As the mercenaries toss the salt kiln into the river, the Longgwi woman mutters.

“I didn't realize the saint was a slob. You have a good life, don't you? ”

“The rich rotting like you don't understand how I feel. Do you have any idea how much our kingdom has been in debt since the Puppet War? ”

The Longgwi girl sighs deeply. It seemed that Brittany had suffered in Brittany. Sanctuary Longgwi looked down at the river with her very sad eyes and saw if she had any bright ideas! and said,

“Dantalian Palace White. Pay a thousand Doubloons for every blessing I give you! ”

“Yes?”

“Honestly, I'm the reason the raid was successful. In the beginning, when I was told to follow you, I had never heard of blessings before. This is extra labor...... work that was never contracted...... which means there's a big price to pay! ”

I looked at her with cold eyes.

For the record, we, the supreme commander, have had this conversation, but as I said before, Salzburg is currently suffering from all kinds of fires and massacres. Ten thousand innocent citizens, both men and women, were killed. In short, Longgwi "The Lady" was talking about money in the middle of the massacre.

“It's ridiculous for a guy like me to say this... but aren't you ashamed? ”

“As long as I can dedicate my financial strength to the crown instead of being ashamed of it, that's fine. ”

“Your face is all red. ”

“If you keep going blind, can you make it red too? ”

The goddess of war was a little hot.

* * *

I was out on the plains outside Salzburg with Laura.

There were only 16 cavalry escorting us. The Lady Longgwi was not here either. The saint fell from drinking in a ruined city. Well, a saint has issues like a saint.

“Laura. I've fought many wars to date. ”

I looked at the dark open plain.

“But there's only been one time I've used a lot of magic. ”

“I know. I thought the Demon Prince only sent the puppeteers to war. ”

“Yes, except for the puppet war. ”

I quietly raised my head. Starlight was shining in various colors in the night sky. Only after I saw the night sky in this world did I know that stars sometimes glow green, purple and red.

“At that time, the Kingdom of Brittany brought Agares in. That's a good reason. If he had mobilized the Demon King without a cause, the nations of the continent would have immediately revolted and organized an anti-Demon army. I only do magic if I'm given a good reason. ”

I raised my right hand.

“And the Republics have kidnapped our regent, Barbato. Enough and abundant as a reason to mobilize the Demon Prince. Once again, the Republic has made a huge mistake……. ”

I whispered a word in my mind.

Then the blue light was projected in front of my eyes and the letters came to mind.

My current fortune is approximately 240,000 gold coins.

As the saint said, there was a lot of money rotting away, but I had never hired a monster as a system other than a few times before. The reason was simple: it was too expensive.

Moreover, I also did not need to spend money to buy magic. If it's a war where you can use magic, you can use the Demon King. If it's a war where you can't use magic, you can use mercenaries. That solved everything.

“Ogres, 200 objects. ”

But this war was different.

There was nothing wrong with using magic.

I had a notification window asking me if I would really hire ogres. I did not hesitate to state my intention of positivity.

“Summon.”

In an instant, 2 million was removed from my entire fortune. I, too, had a tenacity. If it were normal, you'd be crying over something like this. However, it was not a waste of money to deal with Elizabeth.

Tons of Borat Magic Jinns filled the earth. A light so intense that the stars in the night sky came out from the magical factions on the ground. You hear the sound of sixteen cavalry escorts swallowing their breath. Well, I'm not surprised yet.

─ Krahaaaa...

In the enchantment, a giant creature slowly reveals its outline. Breathing in the air is like vapor exhaled by ogres. After a short while, the light completely dimmed, and in the plains, 200 ogres were living off the red-eyed eyes.

“Oh, it's an ogre. ”

“One hundred and fifty... No, two hundred is still... ”

The escorts tremble at the instinctive fear.

They naturally came one step closer to me. Two hundred ogres would wipe out a shitty knight. I made a bitter smile.

“The loyal servants of the overlord. You don't have to be afraid. ”

“I beg your pardon, Your Grace. ”

The guards apologized handsomely. Laura and I, who were supposed to be protected, were embarrassed because they were afraid of their bodyguards.

Laura tilts her head.

“Lord. They are certainly a reliable force, but wouldn't it be better to summon them during battle at all?" The opponent may have been impatient while being careless. ”

“There are two reasons. First, we will deceive those Ogres because they are the remnants of the Plains. ”

Roughly engrave the symbol Barbatos on the Ogre Hide and hand over Barbatos' Flag. In the middle, I also insert Brother Zephyr's flag and Brother Veled's flag. In an instant, the Pyramid Rebels will be complete.

It was only blindfolded and gloomy, but it was fine. It was only when the ogres declared that they had invaded the Republic to reclaim Barbatos.

“And we 'unintentionally' set foot in the territory of the Republic in pursuit of the Pyramid rebels everywhere. Laura, do you understand me? ”

“Oh.”

Laura joyfully rumbles to see if she has the feeling.

“It was not our empire that destroyed and burned Salzburg, but the plains rebels who were blinded by vengeance? ”

“Yes. We were just trying to get rid of the rebels and save Salzburg. ”

I smiled.

“Unfortunately, Salzburg is already ruined because of its tardiness. It's not really tragic. ”

“The master still has a bad temper. ”

Laura shudders.

“So, my lord, who is the second most wicked man in the world. What are the orders for those Ogres? I'm already getting a sense of the girl, but I'll ask politely. ”

“Destroy all the villages around Salzburg. ”

I waved my right hand lightly.

The ogres form a violent formation.

“Thousands of peasants will be terrified tonight. Our empire will do everything in its power to save the people of the Republic. ”

As I plucked my hands again, the ogres began to move their heavy feet. Two hundred ogres scattered, coughing, coughing, and grumbling footsteps. The ogres disappeared into the dark night air in a group of Samoan.

“Of course, we may be a little late... … but that's not up to people's luck. ”

The farmland that had spread near Salzburg was destroyed.

It was no delicate plunder. It just bites, tears, and destroys the farm, as humans see it. At best, it was impossible to stop an ogre like the town vigilantes.

Our Imperial Army has commissioned cavalry to assist each of our villages. Surprisingly enough, the ogres retreat from the town when the Imperial forces arrive. From the villagers' point of view, it was natural for the Imperial Army to shine a light on the Savior.

The Empire Army advised the fortunate survivors:

“Retreat to Munich! Your president will assist you. We'll stop this place. ”

As a result, refugees rushed to the capital.

The refugees will spread rumors on their way to the capital. Dozens of Ogres have rioted and the Habsburg Empire has rescued them. The rumors were spreading quickly and would distort their impression of the Imperial Army in a good way.

To prevent such rumors from spreading, Elizabeth. You have no choice but to kill your refugees and shut them up.

But you won't kill your people. It's the last belief you'll ever be able to give up. As if I had a belief I couldn't abandon. The Outpost is this way...
