Defense games (2)
The outskirts of Tarak Castle have become a battlefield.
Kwaaang—!
Sigh!
All over the battlefield, various energies such as dark magic, divine power, auror, and blood magic were tangled together, and loud explosions erupted.
Clunk—clunk!
[Keek—!]
Like a never-ending wave, the orderly yet rough marching immortal army led by undead executives rushed towards the walls of Tarak.
Those who came to confront the giant joined the walls and struggled to protect the city.
“I will purify unclean beings in the name of the Lord!”
“Eternal rest to the dead!”
The support unit of the main church, including a paladin and two archbishops, led by Cardinal Donovan, who spreads divine power burning like a flame.
“Move quickly!”
“Don’t overdo it! Reducing damage is our top priority!”
A master-level knight dispatched from the royal family and the elite knights led by him are busy patrolling the defenders of the castle walls.
“After all, undead have no blood, so dealing with them is very inefficient.”
“···But even if it’s a giant, isn’t there a need for us to intervene in the defense of the city? “This isn’t even our land.”
“The High Lord must have his own will. “I guess you’re trying to increase your influence over nearby kingdoms.”
In addition, there are the Holy Bloods Heinz II and Brickie, as well as the few elite Hybrid Vampires, including the five True Bloods.
Although all of the reinforcements were great, it was foolish to stand in front of an undead army that numbered more than 10,000 units.
That’s why those who were outside defeated only the brunt of the invasion and immediately joined the castle walls.
This was to fight what would be a long-term battle as efficiently as possible.
And of course.
Among those guarding the castle walls, the vampires from the Kingdom of Thalia were bound to stand out.
In reality, they were a race that had been almost like an enemy.

[“Are you sure you have decided on a route? To stick with the humans and actively oppose the Immortal King?”]
Even in the midst of such hectic busyness, there were subtle glances pouring in from people around me.
Bricky, who was dealing with the undead, quietly approached Heinz and spoke with intent.
The politeness I used to give in front of others has suddenly returned to informal speech, but that’s exactly what I wanted from her from the beginning anyway.
He nodded calmly and answered.
Lightly drawing a line in the air to eliminate a group of approaching undead in one go.
[“Yes, the Immortal King and we are incompatible anyway. Also, now that we are at the forefront of the world by participating in summit meetings, there are limits to our passive attitude as we have so far in order to increase our influence on the continent.”]
In addition, it was a good policy in many ways to show favor to the Tulk Kingdom first, as it could check their solidarity with other kingdoms.
In the process, it may be possible to subtly push Hubert Trading Company further.
And most importantly—.
‘Well, at this level… I guess I can stop it fairly narrowly.’
It may be obvious, but he had no sincere intention to capture Tarak in the first place.
Even when fighting giants, he tried hard to avoid causing as much damage to the city as possible, but there was no way he would destroy the base with his own hands now, right?
Nevertheless, the reason for promoting the crisis to this extent was to raise more continental tension in the process of developing the scenario.
‘I guess I’ve been feeling a bit weak these days, so the karma I’m earning has decreased.’
Of course, the damage known to have been caused by the Immortal King was still too great to be ignored.
It is only natural that not only the direct invasion of the undead but also the overflow of monsters and the appearance of giants that occur here and there form part of it.
The problem, aside from that, was that people had become too accustomed to the current situation repeating itself.
‘Because of that, there was a tendency to do that even if the hero party and Heinrich were active. It’s time for some definite change.’
It didn’t matter which way it was.
If only we could go further than the current situation and create an atmosphere where everyone works together to overcome the crisis.
And the finale was planned in advance for the immortal king and the warrior to decide the battle of all odds with the power of humanity gathered together.
It was the climax of the small screen.
‘By dealing with the revolutionaries, the variables that have been bothering us so far have been blocked, so there will be no major difficulties in proceeding with work in the future. Of course, even if I pick up the pace, it won’t end that quickly.’
In fact, even if we started the final work, it would still take quite a long time to reach the ending.
Even if the sense of crisis is heightened from now on, it’s the climax of the play, so it’s impossible to end it in a clumsy manner, right?
‘It will take about half a year to slowly build up, gather everyone’s strength, open the road to the north where immortality is, and face Hans…?’
If they were really determined, they could prolong this chaos and get their money’s worth, but they were starting to realize that they couldn’t go on a rampage like that and ruin the world.
Those people up there.
To the sponsors who have supported him in many ways so far.
[“That’s right? “Then shall I try to be more active?”]
While Heinz was organizing his thoughts.
Bricky, who was next to him, nodded his head in understanding and took a few steps away from him again.
And right after that.
The moment when she felt that her thoughts had moved.
Gooooo—
As soon as her appearance disappeared, a huge blood-red airflow swirled in front of the undead.
Ska-k-kak-kak—!
It swept through the enemy troops, pulverizing hundreds of them in an instant.
A passage between the undead army that is completely blown through.
Bricky was a vampire who did not have a good compatibility with the undead, but such a trivial matter was not that big of a problem for a being with blood and blood.
“Ugh! “What about this?”
“Hmm, I can’t believe it was like this.”
The nervous gazes of the others who were responding to the undead on the castle wall turned in this direction, as if they were quite surprised by the sight.
Even though we are now allies, there was a prejudice that had been rooted for a long time, so it was something that could not be helped.
Moreover, isn’t there another Precious Blood here?
“Oh, indeed.”
But not everyone reacted that way.
There were some who showed a burning desire to win in response to the vampires’ activities.
“It is good that the vampires have reformed and decided to cooperate, but as representatives of the main church, we cannot afford to lag behind like this.”
“That is correct. Besides, aren’t the opponents the undead?”
“We can’t just sit still. “I will prepare the altar.”
Members of the church that had been fighting vampires for a long time until the intervention of Saint Heinrich.
They were the elite who came from the Great Temple of Picaol along with Cardinal Donovan.
They came together in an instant and immediately gathered together to build a makeshift altar for sacred spells.
Then, with the cardinal taking the lead, they all began to recite prayers in unison.
uuuch!
A miracle unfolded in the middle of the battlefield.
A brilliant pillar of light fell down, erasing all the undead in the area, and its aftermath spread in all directions, putting a stop to the energy of death that was eroding the space.
An overwhelming spectacle unfolded one after another.
“Waaa—!”
“I lived! “You can win!”
The morale of the soldiers, who were struggling to move their stiff bodies with thoughtful expressions, gradually soared.
I was completely frightened by the advance of the hideous-looking corpses, but there was finally hope that I could survive.
‘It may not be that easy, though.’
The energy of death, which had been disturbed for a moment, quickly spread again through the fiercely surging military spirit.
Not only high-ranking undead such as Death Knights and Liches deployed throughout the area, but even executives in the rear began to step forward and respond directly.
‘There it is…’
Heinz II, who was diligently defeating the oncoming enemies and keenly aware of the situation, turned his gaze deep into the undead army.
This was the place where the blood-red airflow that had been raging through the enemy lines stopped.
‘If I leave now, the castle walls could become dangerous. ···I’ll just watch for a little while.’
Of course, the Immortal Army was not suffering as well.
Even if the force here is only a small portion, aren’t they the strongest and worst armed group fighting against the entire world?
[Is it a vampire?]
[Wow, you managed to crawl out instead of hiding like you did 300 years ago.]
[Keheehee—Holy-blooded vampire! This is valuable material!]
Moreover, a significant number of high-ranking executives who had previously been absent were mobilized for this operation.
Executives such as Doom Knight Drexler, General Spartoy Trev, and Acrich Kelifa increased their momentum surrounding Brickie, who had invaded the army.
The power of death, which became more intense as it became subordinate to the Immortal King, resonated with the encroaching energy around it and became strongly connected.
Because they were undead, their dark magic, which became each other’s medium, was explosively amplified.
“···Hmm, are you too excited about this?”
In response, Bricky, who confidently entered the enemy camp, believing in his strength strengthened by the “Refined Blood Seal,” but was blocked, smiled awkwardly.
If it was one-on-one, I was confident I would win against anyone here, but looking at their momentum, it seemed like they had no intention of doing that.
Kwaaang—!
So, in the middle of the immortal army camp, executives and blood-blooded vampires clashed.
On the other side, the sacred power of the main church and the energy of death continued to fluctuate, and the fight on the castle wall, which was somehow holding on, began to gradually intensify.
Binge drinking, excitement, screaming, spells, screaming, etc…
All kinds of noise mixed together and the battlefield became increasingly chaotic.
And Heinz II watched the whole scene in real time and somehow defended the castle walls.
‘I think I can finish this quickly.’
He nodded with a serious expression, seeing the situation exactly as he had imagined.
It was a complete mess, as if it had been painted.
***
A place far from the battlefield formed near Tarak.
Another battle was taking place further away than the location where the giant giant fell.
Gooooo—
A thick aura of death that was incomparable to that of other undead covered the entire area.
“Eurachacha—!”
A grip filled with the power to destroy anything violently tore apart the space.
“Ha!”
A huge sword blade of light, like a pillar, pierced through them.
Qarring—!
And as if keeping pace, various magic, spirits, and holy laws continued to pour out.
A sudden clash between the immortal king and the warrior party.
Thanks to Harley, who had gained new powers just before, the fight progressed more fiercely than before, but those who had been fighting the giant until a moment ago were able to instinctively realize this.
They will never be able to win with what they have now.
But they couldn’t just give up like this, so they gritted their teeth and squeezed out the last of their strength.
The end suddenly came at an unexpected moment.
[Oops, originally I was planning on just saying hello and leaving. Because I was so excited, it took longer than I expected.]
The Immortal King, who had been pushing them all along with overwhelming force, obediently retreated first.
Nevertheless, the warrior party did not let go of their tension until the end, but as he said, he only let out a low mockery, as if he had no intention of using his hands any more.
[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I’ll leave it here for today. It’s not in perfect condition, so it would be a waste to organize it here.]
“···Ha, are you saying you’re going to leave like this? “Immortal King!”
[There is no need to rush. Heinrich, my adversary. I’ve just started a new game, but I can’t finish it before I can enjoy it properly, right?]
The Immortal King said arrogantly with a dark smile that there was still a lot of time left, and slowly flew high.
Even after seeing this, the warrior party, exhausted from the continuous fighting, was unable to take any action.

[I’m looking forward to it. How long will you be able to endure? And when and how will you be able to come to my castle!]
“···Ah, wait, Immortal King! At that time, I will definitely throw you into the abyss.”
[Khahahaha! That will also be fun entertainment!]
Sigh—
Soon, the finger filled with black magic snapped, and strange waves spread out in all directions again.
Immediately after that, the executives who received the return signal from the direction of the castle quickly left the battlefield and began to return.
Anyway, today was just a taste that doubled as a demonstration of force, so there was no need to push it all the way to the end.
[Then I will wait happily. Warrior, Heinrich St. Randguard.]
The Immortal King, who appeared so suddenly, disappeared as suddenly as he had arrived.
All that remained was the undead army that had endangered Tarak.
Also it is.
It was also a successful presentation in front of a large number of people.
