◈ 296. [STAGE 11] Overwork
a few days ago.
“Young prince, do you know how teleport magic works?”
When I ordered the second and third teleport gates.
Coco’s old woman suddenly asked that question. I responded appropriately.
“Because I have no knowledge of magic. Doesn’t it just go and fly?”
A teleport is a teleport, is there anything else? While flying, the director guy popped up some strange tips. isn’t it like that
“To put it simply, teleportation is magic that cuts space, puts an object in another dimension, and then ‘brings it out’ from its destination.”
Contrary to my modest attitude, Coco explained seriously.
“In other words, inside the teleport gate… … As long as you enter the magic door, you are dipping your toes into ‘another world’ for a while.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It leaked roughly. Anyway, since I’m living in a different world every day, it wouldn’t surprise me if I went somewhere else for a while.
“It is not difficult in itself to enter another world. The problem is getting back to reality.”
However, as if to ask me to listen seriously, Grandma Coco pushed her fiercely wide-eyed eyes in front of me.
“You have to have the light of the lighthouse called ‘yourself’ firmly so that you can rise again to this reality.”
“hmm… … okay?”
I don’t know what it was, but I got it right. Coco narrowed her eyes mischievously.
“So, sometimes those who are not sure who they are often get lost during teleport magic. It loses the light of the lighthouse and drifts away.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
You’re not saying something intentionally, are you? Are you just reciting the user manual?
“Perhaps for this reason, beings from nightmares cannot use teleport magic. If they enter the teleport gate, they will all be swept away to the other side of the sea.”
“You mean monsters can’t use gates? That’s reassuring.”
“But they can destroy the teleport gate itself.”
Coco tapped the pile of stones that formed the teleport gate, making it clear that it was a destructible object.
“The reason why the gates in the dungeon are safe is because Nameless kept the monsters from approaching by lighting them up with the ‘light’ he took from his soul. On top of that, I even hit an additional barrier.”
I blinked my eyes. Was that how the safe base was created?
“I don’t know where you’ll place these gates in the outside world, but keep that in mind. Gates can be destroyed, unsafe.”
Granny Coco spat out each letter slowly, in a voice that was heavier than ever before.
“The fact that those who lose their own light can get lost in it.”
The witch’s tone was friendly, but somehow creepy. I swallowed dry saliva.
No, I’ll keep installing it no matter how scared you are!

today.
We rode the teleport gate installed between the Cross Road and the Black Lake and moved as a small group of guerrillas.
A surprise attack on the monster corps moving north. Repeatedly poured firepower and escaped.
The Skeleton Corps was not a fast-moving monster by any means, so it was possible to escape with a single blow safely.
Before bombarding them with Junior’s magic and Damien’s sniper baptism, and the beaten ones chasing after them in anger. I quickly escaped and escaped through the teleport gate.
“By the way, Prince. Can monsters not use this gate?”
Damian tilted his head as he rode the teleport gate hidden in a quiet forest road.
When I briefly summarized the story I heard from Coco the other day, Damian nodded in agreement.
“Monsters can’t use this teleport gate, but you can destroy it, right?”
“yes. But we don’t have the magic technology to create a safe base… … It would be best to keep this gate hidden as well as possible.”
“What if you get caught?”
Damian asked a painful question in an innocent voice, and I answered with a bitter smack.
“Then what, it must be destroyed… … .”
Even if the cost of constructing a teleport gate is expensive, if you can effectively damage the monsters, the price is reasonable. Even if it is used once and destroyed.
“The important thing is to create an environment where our heroes and soldiers can fight safely without getting killed or injured.”
this is the most important thing
Junior, who was listening to the conversation between me and Damian, smiled briskly.
“His Highness really cares about his subordinates.”
“… … .”
I looked around.
is it?
Do I really care about my men?
The truth is, when you lose your subordinates, you will be tormented by guilt… … Isn’t it just that you can’t stand it?
“Whatever your Highness’ motives, Your Highness is acting directly. You value human life above all else.”
Entering the teleport gate first, Junior smiled.
“Isn’t that enough?”
Then, with a flash of light, it first disappeared into the magic door.
“… … .”
Damian entered the gate in front of me as I kept my mouth shut.
“I cut down almost all the monsters! Let’s go finish it now, Prince!”
“… … okay.”
Demian also flashed in front of me smiling at me, and disappeared into the flash.
After catching my breath, I pushed myself into the gate one last time.
“let’s go!”
This stage is almost over!

therefore.
In addition to the attack on the forward base and the two guerrilla attacks. I was able to effectively reduce the number of skeleton corps over three days.
On the day of the defense battle- The monsters that reached the crossroads wall.
Crunchy, Crunchy… … .
It was a group of unsightly skeletons shrunk to 1/10 the size of their first march in the lake.
In addition to the size, the guys who suffered from our guerrillas were not ordinary people.
He is in a state of tatters from Junior’s magic and Damian’s sniping.
While glaring at those monsters from the top of the castle wall, I slowly raised my hand.
“aiming!”
chuck! chuck!
The waiting soldiers moved in unison.
Well-trained soldiers aimed precisely at the cannons that had already been lined up. Cannons lined up on top of the steel walls caught fire all at once.
A group of skeletons entered the correct distance. I jerked my hand forward.
“launch-!”
pop! Beep-!
As I waved my hand, dozens of shells fired at the same time fell on the camp of the monsters.
Kwagwagwang!
A fiery explosion swept the area where the skeletons were.
After that, ballistas and various fighter artifacts rained down without a break. Our crossfire shattered the skeletons.
After one volley, I clenched my fists in the air. The soldiers immediately stopped moving, and firing stopped.
After the thick smoke cleared, there were no moving monsters.
Everything is just burnt and collapsed… … .
I opened the enemy information window to see if there were any monsters alive. Of course, no.
“No casualties. No injuries.”
Lucas, standing next to me, grinned.
“It is a complete victory, my lord.”
“… … .”
Turning around, I looked at my hero and soldiers, then raised the corners of my mouth and grinned.
“You f*cking f*cking monsters! How terrifying we are that we can’t even come near the walls anymore! Isn’t it!”
Heroes and soldiers cheered in unison at my cry.
After waiting for the cheers and applause to die down, I nodded.
“every! A lot of trouble! Let’s keep doing this!”
“yes-!”
“Come on, let’s go eat and rest!”
The soldiers smiled brightly and started organizing the equipment on the wall. The joy of victory and the relief of survival flowed across their faces.
“… … after.”
I turned my tired eyes and inspected the corpses of monsters scattered all over the field.
There were no casualties at all, but the physical fatigue was greater than in the previous battle.
From forward base battles to guerrilla operations and now defensive warfare. It was because it was put into operation for more than three full days.
‘Did I overdo it a bit?’
Since it was the first time I operated like this, I personally supervised every battle.
I had to make sure that the operation was going as I had envisioned, and it was for me to step in and sort things out in the event of an emergency.
So while the other heroes were put in alternately, I stayed up all night with a nap and rest for three days. I was a little tired because of that.
However, if I can prevent the damage that will happen in advance by struggling a little more. You must be willing to do so.
‘more… … You have to move more busily, find new ways, and stock up on numbers. To completely win… … .’
Thinking so, I wiped my tired eyes, and let’s turn around again.
Before I knew it, my main party members were standing behind me, waiting for me.
Evangeline smiled brightly in front of me as I widened my eyes in surprise.
“Let’s go, senior! You’ve been overdoing it for the past few days! At least after winning the battle, let’s rest in peace!”
As soon as the words left, Damian and Junior grabbed me from left and right and led me inside the castle wall.
Evangeline led the way, and Lucas followed slowly from behind.
It was so funny that the four of us surrounded me and walked as if escorting me, so I laughed unconsciously.
“Okay, you guys. Lord, I won’t run away, so let go of this. I will walk!”
Damian and Junior laughed and dropped me off. Aww, these little guys.
That’s how the party members let me go, and the moment I stepped on the floor of the castle wall with both feet.
‘what?’
Suddenly, my eyes were dizzy.
I thought the world was shaking and shaking, but my body became unbearably cold.
Nausea soared in him, and the bridge of his nose burned.
“Cough, Cough Cough!”
Bending over and coughing dryly, I swept under my damp nose.
red
“… … Nosebleed?”
I muttered stupidly.
At the same time, I lost feeling in my toes. My whole body was drained of strength, and I collapsed as if I were going to collapse to the floor.
The whitened faces of the surprised party members rotated at the edge of the field of vision. The shrill voices of the party members lingered in my ears.
Master, senior, prince, your highness… … !
Among the urgently grasping hands and the scattered familiar voices.
I lost consciousness helplessly and sank into black unconsciousness.
