The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 91 - Defense Preparation
“Lucien…. Isn't that not at all like a Dungeon?”
“What are you saying, my lord? Don't you want a strong opponent? I felt the existence of a powerful figure there!” Lucien answered from inside my body. It is only natural that I still use the [Assimilation] Skill.
In front of me, perhaps more precisely under me is a giant city. But calling it a city doesn't seem like the right word either. This place has a lot of buildings made of animal bones and skin.
Hundreds of thousands of Barbarians walked to and fro in that place.
“Wait…. Is this what Chris meant?” I ask myself.
Honestly, I'd love to take a picture or make a video of it to ask Chris. But what I can do, I don't have a special contract with the developer of Re:Life. So I don't have a hologram camera like Angie.
Even so….
“Lucien, tell me. Can you kill all these barbarians alone? I think they'll invade civilization someday so..”.
Immediately, Lucien answered me from inside my body.
“The total number of them reached 180,000 more. If only I had infinite Stamina and Mana, killing them all was very easy. But unfortunately I will run out of energy after reaching the number 20,000.”
‘Gi-crazy?!’
I didn't expect much from Lucien. As powerful as he is, I am sure he will not be able to defeat all those barbarians. But reaching 20,000? He's totally nuts!
“I'm sorry for my weakness, my lord. Ahh! If only I had more power! I can definitely fulfill my Master's request!”
“Already, stop Lucien. I don't plan on winning right now. Hmm...what if the entire Goblin army that was still hunting in the place I brought here before? Including Oliver of course. Can we win?” I asked full of curiosity.
“Maybe, My Lord. But considering this barbarian army will have a defensive position will do us little harm. It would be best if we were the ones taking a defensive position in the Border Dungeon.
By the way, how many troops do you have, my lord? Of course that is in this desert.” Lucien reply at length.
God fucking. I don't know! I just remember that they were quite a lot.
Tens thousand…. But how many?
Not wanting to disappoint Lucien, I held myself back from answering his question. But in the end, I chose the path of darkness.
“Buahahaha! Lucien! If you had to ask me every time, when would you develop?! You alone must find out the answer! Aren't you my personal bodyguard?”
‘Aaaah! Goddamnit! What I just said! Please repeat my life from the beginning!’ I shouted shamefully in my heart after saying that.
But the results were far from my estimate.
“Ma-forgive me for not knowing this self! Of course I have to find out for myself! Please, forgive this useless me, my lord!”
I can't believe that Lucien is so easy to accept all of my words. Even though everything I said was nonsense. Is this all because he's always raving nonsense? I don't know.
Soon after, I decided to return to the Border Dungeon. The distance is quite far, it may take 20 hours by flying at high speed. If on foot while carrying the entire Goblin army….
“At least it will take 8 days trip, Tuanku.” Lucien answered my question.
Damnit…. The distance is too far. Not only that, there were quite a number of Barbarian Camps along the way. In other words, I have to hunt down everything along the way while heading to the city or something.
“Alright, we'll be back Lucien soon. I will also call more monsters.”
I. more precisely Lucien controls my body to fly at high speed. It's because I always fall when I try to fly. My journey to use the wings seems to be quite long.
...***...
“Thanks for your information, Eric.” Said Chris while flipping through the paper I just gave him.
I've compiled an observational report on the existence of Barbarian settlements, the existence of Barbarian-type Monsters who perform respawns and so on. Of course most of the information came from Lucien.
“Then…. Who's that guy next to you?” Chris asked while looking at the man.
“Lucien. She is my personal bodyguard starting from a while ago.”
"Ah.. so it is. All right then for our next plan...."
After that, Chris and I immediately discussed the extermination of the barbarians in the giant settlement. They were all NPCs. In other words, they would not respawn after being killed.
Although at first I proposed to attack them, but in the end Chris decided that it was better to defend. Of course in the Border Dungeon.
Some of the most important points of discussion are the construction of the fort that will surround the Border Dungeon, the number of troops that will be sent by Chris, as well as the issue of food and beverage supply. Including a place to stay.
Chris wanted the troops he sent to live and train in the Eastern Desert. Therefore, I need to build a decent residence for them.
The funding issue will be taken care of by Chris. It was all because the expenditure required for this construction was too great for me.
While the labor issue will be taken care of by me.
“Take it easy, Eric. My kingdom still has quite a lot of funds for it. If less, I can sell some of my assets in the real world hahaha!”
Although the discussion was quite heavy, but I was able to follow it thanks to Lucien's presence. He helped me understand things I never understood.
Lucien who understood all the topics of discussion explained it well to me.
Really, I guess I picked a very proper personal bodyguard. With her existence, I don't have to trouble Elin anymore. After all Elin had a lot of dependents in the creation of the Dungeon Treasure.
‘Kreeek...’.
Behind the door are Neo and Alice.
“Chris, sorry I'm late. There's a little obstacle with some captain of the squad and I have to. huh? Who's that?”
“Ah, that's okay Neo. Well, I mean, he's Lucien. Personal escort Eric.” Answer Chris.
But Neo doesn't seem to listen to Chris at all.
How else, he had fainted for a moment after peeking at Lucien's status.
...***...
The Theocracy Julia.
Yulean Grassland, North of the Alps.
The ground spread wide with grass as far as the eye could see. Sometimes a tree can be found growing alone. Perns ran around here and there freely without anyone shackling.
If it is translated into a simple sentence…. The Yulean Grassland is a very comfortable place to relax.
But this time….
“I suggest you to leave the Holy Land of Goddess Julia, O enemy of mankind.” Said a girl with light blue hair, Lorelei.
“Kukuku…. You think I'll answer ‘Yes, sorry I'll be home’ soon huh?! Buahahaha!!” Shouted a man with white hair, Evan.
Behind Evan appears the figure of 13 demons with a form resembling a human. Everything seems so strong. At least they were above level 200 and had over 50 Growth Points.
While Lorelei?
The girl was just standing alone in the middle of this vast meadow.
Lorelei appears to be wearing Full Plate Armor armor with white and blue shades that protect almost his entire body. As for the head protector he only wore a Tiara, a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Both of his hands were coated with iron armor that held a sword that was quite long with a blue wave pattern. Julia’s Sword's.
Her appearance is very graceful.
However, a quiet atmosphere enveloped them all. No one's talking. They just stared at each other to measure each other's strength.
After a while, Lorelei started talking.
“You cannot defeat me, O enemy of mankind. Not as long as Goddess Julia still protects me and this land.” Lorelei said with a look full of pity. I don't know how he felt about the enemy in front of him.
“Buahahha! Little girl! What can you do..”.
‘Slaash!’
All of that happened at a time when Evan was still laughing like a madman. A slash of light shot out very quickly from the distance.
‘Prook!’
Evan's left hand, which had moved here and there with his laughter, had now fallen on the ground.
[You have received 68,353 damage!]
[You've received enormous damage!]
[You received the Stun effect for 2 seconds!]
[Your left hand has been cut off!]
[You have no blood!]
[Bleeding effect will not be active!]
Instantly after the appearance of the notification, Evan's face that was previously filled with happiness from a satisfied laugh had now disappeared completely. He glanced at his left hand that had fallen on the ground.
Now the look on his face can be described with one word.
Hatreds.
His red eyes glared at the girl. Even Evan also started to gnash his teeth. His right hand began to clench firmly. From his mouth, came words that clearly described his current mood.
“Fucking boy…. I will definitely kill you!”
