Dungeon Defense (WN)

The SS entered the passageway cautiously.

The dark cave ceiling occasionally shakes calmly.

Fortunately, this place was less vibrant than the entrance to Marathon Castle. The secret passageway also boasted the strongest robber in Castle Marwan. The reason was that the secret passageway was meaningless only when it collapsed with a slight shock.

─ Kihihi profit.

― Kerr.

Giant spiders roam the floor of the passageway in a frenzy. They recognize Laura and do not attack the SS. Laura suddenly felt very resentful that she did not have the ability to understand the language of magic.

If only I could tell if Laffith's sister had escaped, if the Republic's Special Forces had invaded through here, my fortune would be widened! ’

However, in Laura's ears, the spiders were just a gloomy, unpleasant cry. I wondered how good it would be for the Lord Shaman to be here. My lord would have handled things much more skillfully.

“Speed up. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Laura is confident that the passageway won't collapse. The SS quickly moves their feet, resting on their orders. I didn't know when or where the Republic's Special Forces would strike, so I was as vigilant as my surroundings.

Laura has been back and forth several times. But I've never felt stranger here than today. The sound of unusual vibrations, falling like a wet rabbit, felt far away somewhere....

‘The master fell asleep. I don't have Lapis. That alone makes me feel this anxious. ’

Laura chewed her lips harder and harder. The smell of blood flowed on my tongue. Instead of consuming energy to ease the anxiety unnecessarily, Laura accepts the anxiety as it is and speeds up a bit.

“General.”

The Dwarf guard looks back, embarrassed.

There was no ambush until the passageway was clear. Fortunately, neither did Martha attack her allies. The ceilings and columns of the passageway were a little unsettling, but still solid, and seemed to buy us enough time.

Problem is.

“The entrance is blocked. ”

“ ……. ”

The entrance from the passageway to the ninth floor of Marathon Castle collapsed.

A massive pile of rocks crumbles, as if this place were the only place it could be deliberately blocked. Soldiers were surrounded and not enough obstacles to resolve. Laura notices that someone has completely deliberately left the rest of the passageway alone and destroyed only the entrance here.

“What's going on here? How can there be no solution...! ”

Laura snaps at you in anger.

“Your Grace, there is an overly powerful anti-magic formation in the area. It's not just that communication and metastasis are blocked. It appears to have blocked the magic of all systems. ”

The Mage of the SS said with a straight face.

“Magic of all lineages. How many wizards have the enemy sent! ”

“If only half the magic had been performed throughout the entire Castle…… with the information we have obtained, I dare say the Supreme Wizards had intervened. ”

“Damn it.”

Laura shows her emotions aggressively during the operation, unlike her. But no one stopped Laura. The SS was frustrated as well. My esteemed King Dantalian's stronghold is being destroyed. How can I not be angry?

‘Two possibilities. One of two possibilities. ’

Laura bites her finger.

‘After the Republic SEALs invaded here, they blocked the entrance so no one could escape. In this case, the Special Forces were literally prepared to die. It's like they even wiped out the hole they were trying to escape from. ’

In this case, the situation was even more desperate. People inside Castle Marwan do not flee nor do they flee. We'll split the death sentence with the death penalty. Laffith Lazuli is less likely to survive.

‘The other one…… was that Laffith blocked the entrance. After being aware of the intrusion and escaping into a secret passageway, he intentionally collapsed it to prevent the pursuers from coming after him. ’

Laura desperately placed hope in the latter possibility.

It was not a very slight hope. There were two reasons.

First, the corridor was so clear that a Republic SEALs invaded here. The swarm of spiders wandered around in one piece, albeit somewhat perplexed. If an intruder were to come, there would be a great battle. It was natural to have at least a few spider corpses lying around...

Secondly, the witches living in Castle Marwan were too embarrassed. If the SEALs broke into the ninth floor underground, there was relatively little need for the witches living up there to be rattled.

'It is possible that they have breached from the entrance, not the secret passageway……! ’

In this way, I understand that the demons are in chaos.

The Special Forces invaded Marathon Castle with overwhelming force ahead. The horses guarding Castle were desperate to resist, but they soon lost without overcoming the electric car. The inhabitants of the Castle were horrified and chaos erupted….

is possible.

Possible enough.

Laura has her heart set on it.

“…… step back from here. ”

“General!”

“There's nothing we can do here anyway. ”

Laura insists with cold eyes.

“I am solely responsible for my decision. Even if there is a dissension from the State Department, I am the only one to be blamed by King Dantalian. You will obey my orders. ”

“… OK. ”

Zakari, the SS captain, bows his head. The General said he would be held accountable. He had no right, no skill, no right to undermine his will.

* * *

Laura turns around and walks out of the passageway.

She splits the SS in two. I ordered Zachry to send 250 men to join me on Coustus territory, and he led the other 2500 men back to the battlefield.

Laura approaches the palace and Ivar waits for her. Ivar looks as serious as Laura.

“Armed Forces. I've heard reports. ”

“Ahh. I can't face you.... ”

Laura frowns.

“The passageway was completely blocked. There was nothing I could do. I just hope the State Department escaped safely to Curtos……. ”

“The State Department is also the State Department, but something more urgent has happened. The king has regained consciousness. ”

“My lord!”

Laura widens her head. However, I immediately darkened my face. As the Lord wishes, she has won the battle. This was definitely something to brag about. However, Laura was not confident how to explain the fact that the State Department was in danger.

Ivar says with a sad face that he knows how Laura feels.

“You're having a hard time even though you've regained consciousness. You might bring up the State Department, and things might get worse. I think it's best to keep it a secret until you have at least enough energy. ”

“ ……. ”

Laura nods.

If I hear that the State Department's life is in danger, how will the Lord react? Obviously, he was going to force himself to save the State Department. I didn't want to watch Laura do what the Lord was doing when his whole body was torn apart by poison.

Furthermore, there was virtually nothing they could do at the moment.

If Laffith State Department died, they couldn't do anything. If Laffith State Department had escaped alive, they had nothing to do with it. In the end, fate was on the other side, not the other....

“I'll see the Lord first. ”

“You are still very weak. Please be careful.”

“I know. ”

Two officials entered the barracks.

Laura's bed made me sad. The master's body was still lying on the bed helplessly. I opened my eyes thinly to see if I was feeling popular.

“Laura? I can hear Laura's footsteps.... ”

“Yes, Joo. It's the Lord's Laura.”

Laura approaches the bed and kneels. She squeezes the sick man's hand. Suddenly, Laura realized that she had no focus in his eyes. A weak voice flows from the pillow's head.

“I'm sorry. I can't see very well right now... A little, you've gone too far." ”

“Ah……. ”

Laura's eyes are filled with water.

His face was so thin. When I closed my eyes, the image of the Lord, which was not clear, was now completely scaled and revealed clearly. As if you were going to faint right away, your eyes turned black and your skin was pale beyond white.

‘I can't say. I can't tell this lord about Laffith... ’

Laura wipes her eyes with the back of her hand.

No matter how much I lay on the bed, Laura thought he was the Lord. If I feel any strange feeling, I can almost blame him for what happened. Laura was not confident that she would succeed in lying in front of Dantalian.

“The lord is a fool. He was lying down again because he tried to numb everything with his body. I heard that even if a fool dies, he won't be fixed, but the Lord will be a fool forever. ”

That's why Laura cheerfully said.

Don't let your opponent notice anything.

Please pray in your heart that you don't feel anything strange.

I wonder if Laura's desperate wish has reached her. Or is it just that bad? Fortunately, I didn't hear any reprimands or accusations against her.

“That's too much. This is the result of my best efforts. I drank three bottles of poison…… I've done all my duty since I came back alive. ”

“The Lord has never fulfilled any obligations in his life. Really.”

“Maybe so. Haha... ”

A cough rang out. Laura looks at the bed nervously, worried that the lord might be crumbling. The cough is very dry, but the blood is not mixed. Laura reddens her eyes again.

“The lord is a fool. It's really more than stupid.”

“I plan to live quietly after this war. No war, minimal politics. Quiet and secluded... But it's still a little early to dream of living in the garden. Laura. How's the battle going? ”

“Friends win. The Republicans are falling. ”

Laura speaks in a cheerful tone.

She was pleased to be able to give him some good news that would cheer him up, most of all, because she didn't have to lie to him.

“An ally is currently in pursuit of an enemy. I ordered you to pursue him to the front of Munich. The Republicans will never be able to back down easily. ”

“Indeed. You're going after Munich. ”

There was silence.

A moment later, a weak trembling word falls. There was definitely a will like steel hidden away.

“Laura. Immediately pull yourself together and bring Munich down. Now is the perfect opportunity to annihilate the head of the Habsburg Republic……. ”
