◈ 212. [Side Story] Super Colossal Monster Defense Measures
I explained what had happened yesterday, and Damian was dismayed to hear that he had run amok again.
This is the second time I’ve already lost my mind and ran amok. It got to the point where I couldn’t watch it anymore.
“So, for now, you are detained.”
One of Damian’s arms is chained to the wall and handcuffed.
It may seem like an overkill, but they were outraged and fired at us. I should go safely.
Damian didn’t react much to his imprisonment punishment, but was taken aback by what he said next.
“And the horse gun black queen was also confiscated. I won’t give it back for a while.”
“yes?”
“Even the priest, the wizard, and the alchemist came to check on you and the magic gun. They say the dark energy from the horse gun is already eating away at your soul.”
I said sternly.
“Immediately cut off contact between you and Ma Chong and never let them come close again. So that’s what I’m going to do.”
Damian begged me with a pale face.
“Woe, Prince! please! I’ll be right here, so can you give me that gun?”
“What are you talking about? It’s been four months since that gun.”
would you give it back I know what to do while spraying a black aura again.
“Since that gun started to emit a black aura, you said you couldn’t eat or sleep properly for the past few weeks? I heard it all from the temple people.”
“… … .”
“I’ll take it apart for you. I know that.”
“But, Prince. I had nightmares because of that magic gun, and every day was painful, but… … .”
Damian hesitated and murmured.
“I was able to dream half of it.”
“… … .”
“The face of the class I thought I would never see again… … I saw it live. So, I… … .”
Was it because he couldn’t let go of the Black Queen even though he was in pain?
Crossing my arms, I let out a sigh.
“You must have been a really dear friend.”
Suffering every night just to see your face, even in a nightmare.
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Damian kept his mouth shut.
Silence prevailed. I looked around Damian’s room.
It is a room with a unique design of a shrine, but there are few furniture and a desk in a closet… … And I see a hamster cage.
They said that they raised hamsters in the past, but they are actually raising them. I went and stood in front of the hamster cage.
Squeak.
In the haystack, a tiny hamster raises its bean-like eyes and stares at me. Is it an illusion to look like my owner?
“What did you say his name was?”
“Podong… … yo. this.”
“It’s not as plump as its name suggests.”
“I guess it’s because I didn’t manage the day properly yesterday. Even if I give them less food for a day, they get thinner.”
Are hamsters like that? I don’t know because I didn’t grow it.
“Plump this plump, Damien. Get your health back too.”
Pointing at Damian’s embarrassed face, I slowly headed towards the door.
“You are out of season. Don’t participate until this defense battle, recuperate here. The horse gun story is next.”
“… … !”
Damian hurriedly tried to jump out after me, but one arm was handcuffed.
Along with the sound of chains, the staggered Damian hurriedly shouted.
“But, Prince! I need to be there!”
“… … .”
“Since you were appointed here, you have never fought a defensive battle without me! You always need my sniping skills!”
“Damian.”
I opened the door and looked around blankly.
“I told you to be my trigger. You said you would.”
“… … yes.”
“All I need is a gun that I can point and shoot at will. But now you have become a dangerous gun that can be fired from anywhere.”
Damian shut his mouth and lowered his head. I pulled myself out of the room.
“I can’t stand it on the wire in that state. Let your body recover first.”
“Prince… … .”
“It’s a Commander’s order.”
I smiled one last time.
“It’s a long-awaited vacation. Get some rest.”
Leaving Damien looking at me with a devastated face, I shut the door.
thud!

“Establish tactics to catch the super-colossus.”

After convening all hero characters except for Damian to a meeting. I said.
“The name of the monster that will invade this defense is Jormungand. He is a very large snake.”
This stage monster, corps, and boss.

A group of monolithic monsters. Jormungand.
It’s a monster with a ‘super giant’ tag, which is rare in this game.
And as if proving that the word super-giant was not added for nothing, it is filthy big and strong.
“This guy will honestly crawl from the lake to the crossroads, destroy the walls, crush the city, and head north.”
The appearance of a super-giant monolithic monster that was unprecedented during the previous defense battles.
Now, even the heroes who have won the battle against the monster, and the beginners who still lack experience, everyone was nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
I’ve made it clear here.
“As I said beforehand, killing this bastard is next to impossible. Our goal is to ‘repel’.”
It is not for nothing that Jormungandr’s nickname is ‘the snake of the world’.
He is a very mythical being. He is a different being from other monsters.
The goal was not to kill him in the game, but to send him back by inflicting more than a certain amount of damage. I will do the same this time too.
“This snake has only one behavioral principle. It’s just going up north.”
widely!
I continued my explanation while drawing on the blackboard that Ader had brought me.
“It will attack if there are obstacles in the process, but it is basically low on aggression. Compared to other monsters whose goal is the destruction of humans, they are very docile.”
Then Evangeline jerked her hand up. I chinned.
“Any questions, Evangeline?”
“Why do you want to go north?”
“I don’t know either. There seems to be a restaurant up there that you want to visit.”
This is a joke, and I’m guessing the purpose is probably to end the world.
going around the world from south to north.
‘The problem is that continental civilizations will perish one by one with that drink.’
All towns and cities in the path of this giant serpent are destroyed.
Even if other monsters pass through the southern front here, there is a way to form a new front line above it to block it, but Jormungand has no answer.
As it moves north, it eats up civilization and gets bigger and bigger.
have to stop here.
If you can’t stop it, the whole world is truly over.
Everyone’s faces became serious at my explanation.
Reina, the commander of the reinforcements, who always behaved casually, and Quiland, the penal unit, who was still a rookie.
There is something to protect on this wire.
That’s what goes for all of them.
“Anyway, he has low aggression. It is more focused on moving north than attacking humans. And his body is huge. What conclusion can be drawn from these premises?”
Everyone looked at me blankly without answering my question.
Well, it would be difficult to answer with only such fragmentary information. I immediately gave the correct answer.
“The correct answer is, ‘Even if we get on and hit them, they stay still.’”
Evangeline opened her mouth at my words.
“Now, wait a minute. What does that mean? then… … .”
“okay.”
each.
I looked like a rotten cow.
“In this defensive battle, all of us are not on the walls here… … .”
I roughly erased the drawing of the castle wall on the blackboard and drew a road farther south to the Black Lake.
“Go south and wait at the entrance to the Black Lake. As soon as Jormungandr sticks his head out of the lake, I climb on him and start attacking.”
Perhaps they didn’t know that it was a real operation to ride on the body of a snake, the heroes all made a look of astonishment.
“… … !”
“… … ?!”
In particular, the cowardly duo of Lily and Marherita were hugging each other and screaming silently. pretending to be weak
“It usually takes three days to reach the Crossroads Wall from the Black Lake. For three days, you will be fucking beaten on the body of this giant snake.”
I sketched Jormungandr’s massive body on the blackboard.
Something like a long earthworm was drawn, but you’ll recognize it roughly.
“His body is huge. As large as it is, the nerve centers that give orders to the body are distributed throughout the body.”
I pointed to three places on Jormungandr’s body.
head. middle of the body. and around the tail.
“Attack and destroy the three most important centers among them. Then you can stop him.”
It is a kind of part destruction gimmick.
If this part is destroyed three times successfully, Jormungandr will return to the nest to repair the damage.
What if it fails? They’ll chew up the walls, eat up the city, and go upstairs.
“So, this defense battle will be conducted in a form close to hand-to-hand combat.”
Landed directly on the giant snake’s body. You must attack and destroy the protruding nerve center. Naturally, it becomes the shape of a hand-to-hand combat using the body.
It was also the reason why it was possible to establish a strategy without Demian in this defense battle.
Because long-range sniping capabilities are not so required in this Jormungand repulsion operation.
“Nine days until the start of the next defense battle. In other words, six days remain until Jormungandr sticks his head out of the lake.”
Since we have to start the defense battle from the entrance of the lake, the time is tighter than the existing defense battle based on the time they arrive at the castle wall.
“In the meantime, I’m going to make a weapon that can damage his body, and I’m going to train all of you at the same time.”
I looked around the heroes all the way.
“This defense battle is completely different from the previous defense battles. Since you have to carry out the operation on the body of the monster for up to three days or more, there will be a different threat from the previous big monster battles.”
I nodded with a firm face to all the party members who looked at me with trembling eyes.
“Make your resolve firm.”
Subsequently, I announced the compilation.
The main party of 4 without Damian. A party of 5 reinforcements. Punishment unit 5 people.
A total of 14 people decided to land directly on Jormungandr’s body and carry out this dangerous operation.
Ordinary soldiers were not going to take them. You have to spend three days on top of the body of a boss monster that exudes fraud.
Unless you are a heroic character, it is a strategy that you cannot endure in the first place.
The most elite main party, as always, nodded with a resolute face, and the reinforcement party and punishment unit also followed my orders with a firm face.
If Jormungand breaks through the southern front here and goes north, the ecliptic is in its path.
From the point of view of the reinforcement party, of course, they would have to risk their lives to stop it.
“My homeland is also on that route.”
With a hard face, Quylan clenched his fists tightly.
“I will risk my life to be with you, Your Highness the Prince.”
The penal unit also seems to have a reason to be serious. I gave a faint smile to the bandit king, who was burning with fighting spirit.
“Lily and the saintess!”
I called the two of them out of fear, waiting for their names to be called. I gestured to the two of them as they started to hiccup.
“The two of you will remain at Crossroads as a reserve.”
Both of them’ faces brightened up. But not the time to be so happy.
“There is a possibility that the city itself will be swept away in this defensive battle. That’s why the evacuation of citizens will be done differently.”
In the meantime, the monsters would only try to kill humans, even if they dug into the city, and would hardly touch the facilities and buildings in the city.
That’s why the evacuation in the meantime was, at most, to get the citizens to the north of the city for a while.
But this time the threat is different. There is a possibility that the entire city will be devastated.
In the worst case scenario, if nothing is prepared, Jormungandr could crush the entire city and destroy its infrastructure, threatening the survival of all its citizens.
“Lily, cooperate with all members of the production workshop to build shelters, drinking water storages, and food warehouses. You can arrange it on an empty plain northeast of the city.”
“Yes, I see!”
“Saintess, I will attach a worker, so build a simple treatment facility in the northeast of the city. Have enough beds and medicines.”
“I will do as you command, Your Highness.”
I nodded heavily to the two who answered with serious faces.
“I hope your work is in vain.”
These two are preparing for the worst.
Of course, the best is to repel Jormungand before it reaches the wall.
At any rate, by the time he reaches the castle wall, the attack is already over.
‘But I am the lord of this place.’
Even if the game ends, the capture fails, and the world perishes.
After that, there is an obligation to take responsibility for those who survived. So you have to prepare for the worst.
I wish you both hard work. But I also hope that it will be a complete fuss.
Reading my intentions, Lily and Marherita nodded once more.
The two of them were not the usual cowards, but the faces of heroes on the front lines here.
