Dungeon House 62
Dungeon House chapter 62
During the break, the members of the Golden Black Hole Guild kept their tension and looked forward after they had finished building their positions for battle while keeping their bodies warm as much as possible.
There was not much time left until the battle began.
The number of people is half less than before. Fortunately, when half of the personnel returned, various supplies, including weapons, were made through the temporarily connected bases. When constructing the fortress this time, he was fully prepared for defense by using supplies.
But everyone’s faces were hardened. It was because of Richard.
Richard could be called foolish as a commander, but he did not hide everything about the current situation. There is hope for survival, but even that hope is slim.
In the beginning, the rest were those who were prepared for death, so the agitation was not great. But they are also human. No matter how prepared you are to die, you will inevitably become weak when you face death.
It was thanks to their strong mental power that they did not vomit resentment, anger, or fear even when a battle was about to take place, but only created a dark atmosphere.
Richard looked around the guild members and slowly got up. The gaze of the guild members was focused on him.
“Everyone, the battle will begin soon. Don’t tell me before the battle. I’m sorry. And thank you.”
At the words of Richard who bowed their heads, those present smiled. Even if they didn’t say what they were sorry about or what they were thankful for, everyone in the room knew what they were doing. so they could laugh
When he looked up and saw their faces, Richard laughed too.
There are people who laugh without hatred or resentment ahead of a battle where death is close to certainty. Your life is definitely a successful one. At that thought, Richard couldn’t help but laugh.
For a moment, he said with a serious expression on his face.
“Don’t tell me in advance. don’t give up till the end There is hope. Don’t forget that possibility exists. The moment you give up, everything is over. Please struggle to survive to the end. request.”
The moment Richard finished speaking, the sand stood up and began to take shape. More than three thousand sand dolls appeared.
Unlike the sand puppets that first appeared, there was a clear will in the eyes of the sand puppet army, which had distinct human figures and armaments. Hatred and resentment towards Richard and the Golden Black Hole Guild.
Already, sand puppets were not just sand puppets. Everyone knew that there was a soul whose body was made up of sand.
But he couldn’t die. Unlike those who wear a body of sand, members of the Golden Black Hole guild have only one life.
chuck! chuck! chuck!
An army of sand puppets starting their march.
Seeing that, Richard exclaimed.
“All troops attack! Struggle to the end to survive!”
Thus, the final war of 3,000 vs. 62 began.
It was the Golden Black Hole side that started the attack first.
swish! swish! swish!
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
A mana stone bomb was dropped from the fortress on the hill made by piling up sand and hardening it with magic. An intense explosion swept the sand puppet army coming up from below at once.
Like a grenade, the inner beads and outer skin swept around it, and tore the bodies of the soldiers of the Sand Puppet Army to shreds.
[Aaaaaah!]
[It hurts!]
[no!!]
Although their bodies were made of sand, the sand puppet soldiers were writhing in pain and screaming. Still, his body was slowly absorbing the surrounding sand and recovering.
They do not die unless either the head or the heart is destroyed. But when the body is destroyed, it feels like real pain.
And until now, I have experienced that pain every time in battle. even his own death. When the battle started, he took the memories and experiences intact and went into battle again, leading his body of sand.
It was only natural that they had eyes filled with hatred and anger. For them, the Golden Black Hole guild members are enemies who have killed themselves 20 times.
But what makes them fight is hate and anger. It’s not just a grudge. They are forced to fight unless they die.
A fight that you have to do even if you don’t want it. Pain that is constantly repeated. There was no other way to resist fate than to burn hatred and anger. At least it makes them forget the bridle they put on them, even for a moment.
The sand puppet soldiers, whose bodies were torn to shreds, but not dead, marched forward again.
Bang bang bang!
The mana stone bombs continued to explode and tore the formation of the sand doll army again, but they were not the only ones suffering.
Pak Pak! Cuckoo!
Some sand doll soldiers covered their bodies with mana stone bombs to suppress the explosion. They do not die unless either the head or the heart is destroyed. Taking advantage of that point, we started to minimize the damage.
Combat is their duty. But up to this point, they had a desperate reason.
The girl who ruled and possessed them promised. A promise to set you free as many as the number of dungeon explorers you killed this time if you finally win. It is an opportunity to break free from the bondage that has continued for countless years. That made them desperate.
Richard muttered quietly as he faced the sand doll army’s will and murder, anger and hatred head on.
“Is it a mistake to double your emotions?”
A being who is obliged to kill without emotion or will is clearly a fearful entity. Because they constantly attack without feeling any fear or pain.
But beings acting with emotions are even scarier. A being who moves for a purpose with a determination that comes from a strong will is stronger than anyone else. Like the sand puppet in front of you who spares no effort in your own body.
“No, I regret it, but I do not regret it.”
When Richard chose his emotions, he knew it would end up like this. that’s why i regret it However, there were those who were able to live by making that choice at that time, so I did not regret it.
An army of sand dolls gradually narrowing the distance while reducing their sacrifices. Watching them, Richard gave the order.
Cuckoo! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Then, a huge explosion incomparable to anything before occurred under the ground of the sand puppet army. Some were buried beneath the cracked desert with the explosion, while others soared high into the sky on the contrary. The sand puppet soldier, who soared in the explosion, soon fell to the ground. There were also dolls that had their heads smashed, but those who did not die got up and started marching again.
“I couldn’t even give you a third.”
Although a significant number was reduced by using mana stone bombs and land mines, more than two-thirds of the sand doll army remained. The walls of the camp are still in good condition, and there are many other items. However, his calculations cannot hold out until the end.
But you have to endure.
“All troops! Attack freely! Pour everything! Use everything you can use! Because when you die, you can’t take them anyway!”
oh oh!
At that moment, the real attack began. Special guns and cannons that fired projectiles with injection magic and explosion magic instead of gunpowder spewed fire all at once, and mana stone bombs continued to drop and explode.
In addition, all kinds of magical weapons developed and produced by Golden Black Hole, such as a magic bomb that installs Greek magic within a certain range, and a magic bomb that creates a pit by Digg.
This was used sparingly.
Since an efficient mass production method had not yet been established, the production cost was extremely high, and even a single bullet cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of won.
The sand puppet army, which was initially only attacked, understood the new weapon and began to respond.
He built a wall with a sand shield and proceeded. When the shield is broken, it protects the head and heart, and uses the body as a shield so that other soldiers can advance. When a bomb flies, it sacrifices itself to minimize damage. When a pit was created, several soldiers became a stepping stone.
The sand puppet army continued to advance.
Even if his colleagues were sacrificed, he continued to reach a place where he could wield swords, spears, and axes. and… … .
swish! fuwook
He threw his weapon and reached the distance to reach the wall of the fort.
Papa Pak! swish! swish! swish!
Fu fu fu! Pak! visor!
When they were within reach by throwing their weapons, the sand doll army threw their weapons all at once. Although there was a barrier in the fortress, the attack had to be interrupted in the middle due to the thrown weapon.
Some talented people in the sand doll army did not miss the opportunity.
Pak!
The powerful men who narrowed the distance at once jumped up the wall using the weapons embedded in the wall as a stepping stone.
The sand doll soldier, who climbed up to the top of the wall, at once threw the sword he was holding towards the chest of the dungeon explorer in front of him.
At the presence of such a sand doll soldier, the dungeon explorer opened his eyes and tried to use the gun he was holding as a shield, but the speed of his sword was faster than that.
bang
2, thank you.”
Fortunately, the dungeon explorer next to him swung his blunt weapon and blew up the sand doll soldier at once, and the attack ended in failure, and he survived. Such spectacles were taking place all over the walls of the camp.
Richard exclaimed as he fired.
“Retreat! Proceed to Phase 2!”
Whoa bang bang!
There was an explosion on the hill coming up to the camp with Richard’s shout. It detonated a mine that had not been detonated before. Meanwhile, everyone started to retreat.
The place to retreat was the fort within the fort, the second fort. Although it was named Second Fortification, there must have been a circular wall that was a little over 2m high.
While the mine was exploding, all guild members evacuated to the second base. and… … .
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
An explosion occurred. It was not an external explosion, but an internal explosion. right in the ground.
Richard magically hardened the sand to make a hill to make a fort. And a bomb was installed in the dune that had hardened so that it could be destroyed at any time.
The bomb exploded. As a result, the ground outside the second fortification was completely crushed.
The hill originally built to build the camp was not high enough, so the floor collapsed and part of the sand puppet army was buried and swept away.
And as the land of the camp collapsed, a new hill was created. However, the scale of the new hill was neither steep nor high.
The remaining sand puppet army still had a majority, more than 1,600. The sand puppets were exuding life and hostility.
Up until now, I was only defeated without being able to fight properly. I lost half of my teammates. But now, if you just climb the hill in front of you, you can fight properly. It was natural for emotions to rise ahead of revenge.
But things didn’t go as they thought.
Round stroke! stroke! Push City!
When an object was thrown from within the camp, the sand puppet soldiers reacted as before. But the explosion didn’t happen as they thought. Instead, thick smoke began to blow in all directions. It was a smoke bomb, not a bomb.
As the surrounding field of vision was eroded by the smoke grenade, there was a movement in the fort at that moment.
Whoops! months! nice
“Don’t stop! The moment you stop, you die!”
The members of the Golden Black Hole Guild ran out all at once while wearing gas masks. Wielding shields and weapons, they rushed towards the sand puppet army that surrounded them between the smoke screens.
The last strategy was to rush, or to be more precise, to break through.
No matter how much you build a position and pour out firepower, the gap in the number of heads is unavoidable. Anyway, each member of the Golden Black Hole guild, including Richard, is still superior to the sand puppet soldiers. Taking advantage of that point, in the battles so far, the last guerrilla war had to be fought.
But you shouldn’t do it in the first place. The number of enemies was far greater than that of them, and if you made a mistake, you could be defeated individually.
It is only natural that the camp will be occupied by the relentless sand puppet army. In that case, inflict as much damage as possible and abandon the camp. Focus on that and strategize.
He endured as much as he could, and at this moment, he moved to break through.
But it was the wrong choice.
It was that the sand puppet soldiers took human form and fought in human ways, but in the end they had forgotten that they were not human.
months! Whoops! Pussack!
[Attack! Swing your weapon!]
[Don’t try to catch it! Bear! Break it! Smash it!]
Inside the thick smoke screen, the sand puppet soldiers swung their weapons recklessly.
Not caring about their allies, their enemies, all the soldiers in the direction the Golden Black Hole Guild members were going, swung their swords, spears, and blunts.
Sand dolls don’t die unless their heart and head are broken. Even if they were to die, they had no hesitation. Many troops have already withdrawn. All that remains is to kill at least one enemy who is trying to break through them, and to injure them even a little! That’s enough. Because they don’t die even if they die.
•• Whoops! Don’t slow your feet! run!”
own mistakes. unexpected error. Richard, realizing the situation that would arise, exclaimed hastily.
Pooh
“ね!”
Richard clenched his teeth at the sound behind him. But he didn’t look back.
“Go ahead. master. Thank you so much.”
Richard knew who he was just by hearing the sudden voice Lee. And what he’s trying to do.
“You damned bastards! I am here! Kill me!”
He escaped from a fellow breaking through together. And shouted out loud. As a result, the sand puppet soldiers flocked.
He was followed by those who were wounded one after another and escaped from the group. Those who left the ranks left a word to Richard.
“I will go first.”
“Thank you so much, Master.”
“When you return, my cat, Eddie, please take care of me.”
After that, they dragged in the sand puppet soldiers and fought like everyone else did.
and…….
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
They all detonated the mana stone bombs they had in their arms. As a result, a significant number of sand puppet soldiers perished.
“Ouch! Be a little bit stronger! We must survive!”
First, so that the sacrifices of the dead are not in vain. Richard exclaimed desperately. He continued to detonate smoke grenades, sometimes throwing bombs, and using magic as he progressed.
It wasn’t even that long. It wasn’t too far away. But it was long and far.
There is always an end. Eventually they were able to break through the sand puppet army.
“… … Ouch.”
“haha. I made a promise.”
“You’re doing too much.”
“Do you really want to kill us like that?”
And the beginning of another battle greeted them.
It was the new encirclement of the sand doll army. When they broke through with a smoke screen, some troops had already retreated and formed a siege.
Of course, Richard knew it too. However, what he did not expect was the damage he suffered while breaking through. Richard looked back slowly.
The tired and injured guild members came into his eyes. About 40 people, about two-thirds remain. There was fear in their eyes.
Can not be done. It shouldn’t be like this.
[If we go on like this, we will all die. that’s yes
It’s wrong. Hehehe.]
Then, suddenly, a girl’s voice was heard.
With him, everything around him stopped. And a girl appeared in front of Richard. Richard tried to move, but his body didn’t move at all.
[You made the best choice as a commander. A choice that minimizes damage and saves as many people as possible.]
The monster in the shape of a girl stroked Richard’s face with an innocent smile.
[You are a good commander. You truly care for your subordinates, and your subordinates sincerely follow you. But you’re not a victorious commander, you’re just a good commander. you knew too I’m sure you knew how to win.]
as the girl said He knew how to win. But I had no intention of using that method.
[The commander must be cool. It has to be mechanical. must not be human You have to look at the soldiers and the subordinates as numbers so that you can win. If you don’t win, the best number will be useless when the best number is the same as the worst number. Only the worst outcome is death. Hehehe”
Richard understood. I understood. persuaded
as the girl said No matter how best you choose, the moment you lose, it’s the worst few days. As a result, soldiers and subordinates on the battlefield die.
At this moment, it was as if he had made the worst choice.
[Make me regret it. that you are a good commander. As an incompetent commander who chooses a minimal life in the name of minimal death, watching his subordinates who might have survived die. Hehehe.】
The monster in the form of a girl disappeared with a smirk, and time, which had stopped, began to move again.
But he was no longer able to move his body of his own will.
“Everyone get ready. break through again.”
[No, don’t try to break through it now!] A body and mouth that move independently of their will.
Richard screamed inwardly. You can’t get over it now. The enemy is ready to stop the breakthrough. If you go like this, everyone will die.
He desperately resisted. screamed But his body betrayed his will. And following his body, the guild members began to move.
[Please stop!]
Richard’s men went to the ‘People’, unaware of his despair and screams.
