Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

When the cool steam of the dawn has not yet cleared.

The sound of ogres roaring the earth has been heard here, and so has the command of the Habsburg Republics. The sound of the ogre's footsteps brings ominous magic. The terrifying tremor caused the soldiers to become silent and dry.

─ Swallow.

Someone swallowed the saliva. In a single battle, it was almost unprecedented when two hundred ogres were mobilized in a battle with no more than 40,000 total troops in both armies. The Republic troops were strangely silent.

“Lift the spear high! ”

“Secure it to the ground! Get down!”

“Let's have some fun today! ”

Maybe they're trying to catch some messy air. The seniors turn the tide as they kick the soldiers' butts or slap them on the back. There, several soldiers responded loudly. Then the air of the crowd warmed up.

Kurzschleimage whistles next to Elizabeth.

“The old soldiers are doing it right. Even though they ate a lot of spare time, they were different. But I don't know if our proud Republicans will survive. ”

“Schlairmacher.”

Elizabeth said indifferently.

“This is not your personal office. You better watch your mouth. ”

“Ha, ha, ha. I'm sorry, Mr. President. ”

Kurzschlairmaza bows with his right hand, smiling awkwardly. A long time before the battle began, Elizabeth stood cold on her feet. The invisible eyes of Elizabeth seem to swirl quietly.

“I brought the ogre to the front without leaving it for profit. To weaken our cavalry forces. I know, but I have to accept it. No, that's the same for the other person.... ”

Elizabeth stares ahead and mutters endlessly.

Kurz thinks President Elizabeth's habit of talking to herself has improved for a while. I've been having nightmares as many times as before, but I feel like talking to myself more and more often. At first Kurzschleighmacher thought he was asking for his opinions and tried to answer them, but he soon realized he didn't need anyone to talk to.

“I got a good lead. Where there are rivers or forests, they've been brilliantly avoided. I could have come sooner, but I walked forward on purpose. Well, there's also a cilantro over there. ”

So Kurzsche decided to fight roughly. He was still the president of one country. I had to leave him alone to mumble. Kurzschlairmacher was slightly moved by his deep consideration. I couldn't understand why men like him weren't popular with women.

“I've set up a wooden scaffold because it's hard, but it won't be of any use if the ogre fights back. ”

“No. For the Militia, it's a psychological comfort for all soldiers. There is a huge difference between having a sturdy binder in front of your eyes and having nothing. At least they'll catch you by the ankles so the militia don't run away. ”

― ― Until the Ogres smashed it up like a hand.

Neither Elizabeth nor Kurz spoke of what would come next. Militia means nothing more or less than a meat shield to a Republic commander anyway. The fools in front of the main force to preserve them completely unharmed....

“But I was surprised, too. The President never hesitated to use a civilian soldier for that purpose. War is a military realm. Didn't the President always say that? ”

“I have renounced all my beliefs in this war. ”

Elizabeth smiles coldly. It was self-supporting.

“It's impossible to defend your pride against Dantalian. Being devoured by self-belief, being eaten by Dantalians, or in any way getting out of the way. That man somehow knows everything about his own beliefs. ”

So I threw it all away.

The ethics of protecting the people, the proposition that it is the same as the people of the state, and Elizabeth abandoned all the beliefs that humans had built up in their lives.

Those who stand here and stare at the plain are merely soldiers who are gifted in war. To be more precise, it was a weapon.

“I plan to retreat formally after the war. ”

“Yes?”

Kurz was surprised.

The sound of ogre footsteps approaches from the other side, but this time I had to forget about the battle. I almost reflexively asked if you were out of your mind. Kurz was able to react normally thanks to his habit of joking even in situations like this.

“Uh, were you up all night last night? There's some nonsense coming out of the president's mouth. ”

“You have no concept of keeping your mouth shut. I wonder how he got up to the Guard Commander with that temper of his. ”

Elizabeth grumbles as if it were absurd.

“I was originally from the shadows, and now that the president has developed meritocracy... no. Don't turn your back on me! Really, Mr. President? No. Of course you're serious because you're not talented enough to laugh at your jokes. Have you lost your mind, Mr. President? ”

“…… rest assured that we will preserve the position until we cut the head of the Guard Commander. ”

“No. Why the sudden decision? ”

Elizabeth shrugs.

“Not all of a sudden. I've been thinking for a long time. I've been keeping it a secret from you, but I've been suffering from various hallucinations for the past two years. ”

“ ……. ”

Kurzschleighmacher quickly looked around without my knowledge. Now they were talking in Kalmar. It was a possible trick because two people were fluent in every language on the continent. The deputies couldn't understand the conversation, but Kurz, who had been a head of intelligence for a lifetime, had a habit of looking around.

“Mr. President.”

Kurzschleigh Maher's voice changed. The playfulness disappeared and the sound sank endlessly.

“Who else knows this secret? ”

“Do I look like a great person to be talking about this? If anyone finds out, they're not from this world. ”

“…… Why did the ministers of the president want to be waterlogged periodically, but not just to prepare for the runners?" I understand. ”

Elizabeth changed the maid by three months, even a year. I thought it was too cautious of outside interference, but this was hidden. The servants who helped Elizabeth in the closest place soon learned the president's secret. And on the way back home, I retired and became an unwelcome guest.

“The head of a country is a candidate for a hallucinogenic psychopath. If you are joking, the enemy is sinister, and if you are not joking, you cannot laugh any more. ”

Elizabeth smiles bitterly.

“Yet the only reason I didn't back down is for one reason. It was because there was still a nightmare on the continent called Dantalian. You are the only human to take on the Dantalians. It's okay to overreact. It's okay to be arrogant. But at least to yourself, this is a cold reality, a truth. ”

It was like racing with straw burning in each other's arms.

Some of the two had to fall. But if you keep running like this, you're going to end up on fire. I knew it would burn, but I had to constantly move my feet....

“I had a hunch when Dantalian's adopted daughter was in exile. This is our last chance. We can't stop the Dantalian Empire from being declared. Then at least I wanted to make a commitment while I was sober……. ”

Perhaps Elizabeth's personal greed mixed together.

Elizabeth thought, listening carefully to her day-to-day hallucinations. This is my job. However, if my intelligence deteriorates and my judgment becomes impaired, who can stand in the way of the Dantalians?

Above all, I wanted to see Dantalian battle while he was still at his best. Even if someone accused me of excessive lust, there was no excuse. Nevertheless, President Elizabeth insisted....

“Therefore, our purpose is not to conquer the empire. Dantalian, if we cut his throat, we are victorious. ”

Elizabeth clenches her fist. Her eyes, once called the Emerald of Habsburg, burn more than ever.

Then the ogres approached almost the Republican militia. I can see the militia swaying here, too. They held the scaffolding as a wall to their hearts.

“Huge!”

“Rrrrgh!”

The deputies shouted for help.

The militia chews their teeth and pushes their spears forward. The bottom of the window is firmly planted on the ground, and your left hand rests on your right hand while holding the spear in your right hand. It was originally a pose taken when the cavalry attacked. However, what struck me was more terrifying than the cavalry.

“Archers, fire! ”

“Take the shot!”

At the interval, the archers put a bow on their faces. Hundreds of arrows crossed the air. Whether the target was so massive, the arrow itself fell on the ogre's skin, boasting a decent accuracy.

─ Krahaaaaaa!

However, it was difficult to pierce the ogre's thick hide, even with sharp arrowheads. The majority of the arrows bounce off without being stabbed. The ogres rush in hot, furious fury at the sting of their pranks.

“Ugh… ahh… ahh…. ”

“There's no way... I can't stop this... ”

“Don't let go of your fist! ”

As the militia try to bite their heels, the deputies shout skillfully.

“The moment I let go of my hand, you're all dead! Grab the pole! Catch the Ogre right through its eyes! ”

Don't let your fist out of the window.

The militia instinctively obeyed a simple and direct order. You focus your warmth as if your life depended on this fist. Yes. It's a sturdy binder like never before. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

It took less than 30 seconds for the hopes of the militia to be shattered.

─ Kuaaang!

The ogres swing a giant metal club. In a single blow, the wooden bookshelves were shattered and floated in the sky. The militia stares in horror at the scene of the splintered pieces of wood. And before all of their eyes were opened, the ogres took one step and struck a second blow.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Sa, help me! ”

The flesh stood out.

Black blood rises into the air and falls to the ground. The intestines and bones were together. Ogres gallop as if there was nothing in front of them, and every time they raise their knees, human beings lay eggs on all sides.

“Mr. President. ”

Kurzschlairmaza looks at Elizabeth.

But Elizabeth shakes her head.

“Not yet. Wait. ”

President Elizabeth indifferently looks down at the massacre of the militia.
