Dungeon Hunter Chapter 220:
Chapter 220: Melee (2)
I climbed on top of Greenwich Observatory . It was evening with a full moon . The battle lasted a few days .
I placed creatures in Greenwich Observatory .
The number itself wasn’t much and there weren’t any high quality creatures, but the combination was good .
There were 500 saber tigers and 500 orc variants, with trolls and ogres mixed in moderately . And I also added ‘doppelgangers . ’
‘They can only copy the appearance, but it doesn’t matter in a situation like this . ’
Doppelgangers could change their appearance to look like the opponents . Although it wasn’t a strong intermediate creature, the utilization rate was excellent . In this situation, their uses as ‘scammers’ would shine even more .
I had hidden 300 doppelgangers in the basement of the Greenwich Observatory . All of them transformed into death knights . I also mixed in 30 real death knights among them . Thus, a good death knight unit was completed .
‘There is no need to increase the damage . ’
They were just a formality . I would use them to play the opponents . Despite not participating in the battle, I would be able to show off some influence .
“Melee . . . ”
It was already the second day .
Everyone was moving around the Ark .
Ariel, Upa, Pandemonium and the angels were engaged in a **** feast!
Before they noticed something suspicious, I needed them to look at me .
It was too early to use Hope .
‘The moment the winner is decided . Just when they think everything is over, I will be the one to laugh last . ’
Although I could see the effect of the item through Mind’s Eye, it still wasn’t clear how strong Hope was . So, I needed to make moves to minimize the risk .
Waiting . Patience was something I was good at .
‘How interesting . ’
I turned around . Oswen had finished all the preparations .
"Your Majesty, if you tell me then Oswen will destroy all your enemies . ”
Oswen declared in a vigorous voice . I could feel his sincerity . He followed me for only one reason . I saved him and dealt a blow to the Hell Monarch .
I laughed .
"You sound like Maxium . Yes, have you received any contact from Maxium?”
"He has entered the dungeons of two demons of Upa’s faction . ”
"Things are going well . ”
Oswen shrugged .
"It is thanks to the powerful reinforcement that Your Majesty gave him . ”
Originally, Maxium’s role was to hinder Upa . Now he was given a new mission: to occupy dungeons .
I also refilled his troops . The high class Mago and bone dragons, as well as skeleton soldiers!
I gave him all the high class creatures that I didn’t use to catch Gustarte .
It was in order to create more confusion in the melee fight .
‘Upa will be distracted while fighting Ariel . ’
If this was a normal situation, many of the troops would have left after hearing the news . However, Upa was currently waging a war against Ariel . He couldn’t afford that right now .
Thanks to that, the task of occupying the dungeons was proceeding smoothly . It didn’t matter if it was an important stronghold or the dungeon of a low ranking demon . All the mattered was getting as many dungeons as possible .
That alone was enough .
I was satisfied with that . I was doing several things at the same time and everything was going as I wanted .
"Your Majesty . Whose side do you like? Ariel Diablo, Upa Bullenon or Pandemonium? Or do you want to take the side of the angels?”
Right now, everyone was an enemy . The tacit agreement had been broken . Once the fire was set, nothing could stop it until the result was seen .
"The answer is obvious . ”
I pulled out my sword .
Then I said .
"All who oppose me are my enemies . ”
Chwang! Chwang!
Hiiing!
Wooooo!
All the creatures were crying out . The doppelgangers that weren’t really death knights simultaneously pulled out their swords .
It was a suitable show .
I would ensure that we were noticed .
"Let's go . "
Hwaruruk!
Pride’s flames emerged .
The first ones that aimed at me were the angels . Despite the angels rushing, I stayed still . I didn’t want to be forced to move my hands .
“Oswen . ”
"Yes, Your Majesty . "
"Who do you think will win?”
A large ship . Upa and Ariel were engaged in a **** battle near it . It was a fight that showed no signs of ending .
“Upa . ”
"Isn’t Ariel slightly dominant?”
“A war isn’t won with only one strong person . ”
Oswen was a commander in the Underground World . Despite regaining himself, that experience still seemed intact .
I tapped a finger against my forehead .
In the 1:1 fight between Upa and Ariel, the one that was dominating was Ariel .
If this continued then the gap would keep growing .
On the other hand . . . in the confrontation between demons and creatures, Upa was leading . Ariel only brought a few elites so her numbers were too few . The absolute number advantage was inevitable .
The gap between Ariel and Upa would keep on widening .
In particular, the silver knights . . . they were showing a great performance, but I used Mind’s Eye to study their skills .
‘They will fall at the same time . This is the end . ’
Giant Mountains (Epic) was certainly a good skill, but it had the disadvantage of all of them collapsing at the same time once all the stamina was consumed . Little by little, gaps were forming and more troops were required to fill that vacancy .
"What about the fight between Pandemonium and the angels?”
"Pandemonium will win . His ability in melee combat is excellent . ”
I agreed .
The longest surviving demon . A person who mastered demonic magic .
That was Pandemonium . He was used to situations like this .
In contrast, the angels were forced on the defensive .
They were being grinded down .
"What do you think Pandemonium will do once he wins?”
"He will either deal with both or attach himself to Upa . Pandemonium and Upa have similar tendencies . ”
Upa and Pandemonium instinctively knew one thing .
Ariel Diablo’s strength!
In my previous life, she was the winner . She survived until the very end .
"Then we will have to help Ariel Diablo . ”
"Weren’t you aiming for that from the beginning?”
In this battlefield, at least one of them should be eliminated .
I was sure of that .
But it was a little bit difficult because it was Ariel Diablo .
She had the honour of complete victory in my previous life . Personally, I hoped that the final contest would be against her . It would be a neat ending .
In that sense, Upa and Pandemonium were tricky . So it might be easier to clean them up first .
My army was small, but it would be enough . I would give Ariel Diablo a chance to turn the situation .
My first action was the most important .
Upa, Pandemonium . . .
The result would be completely different depending on who I aimed for .
"Aim at Upa . Hash isn’t a child that will break that easily . ”
"Isn’t that a problem with the angels’ command system?”
"That won’t be a problem . Right now, Hash has a complete understanding of melee combat . ”
"Aren’t you overestimating him?”
"Your Majesty, Tashmal has arrived . She is currently next to Hash . ”
I frowned .
I didn’t understand Oswen’s words for a moment .
"Tashmal is corrupted . How can the angels fail to notice that?”
"She isn’t right next to him . She is following from a distance and giving advice . It isn’t hard for her to use the angel system to convey a message . And . . . doesn’t Hash follow Tashmal very well? He is like a child trying to look good in front of his mother . It will make a difference . Of course, the outcome won’t change much, but the angels will be able to deal a bigger blow . ”
It was convincing .
Anyway, Oswen was better than me when it came to strategies on the battlefield . I could admit this fact .
I had always acted alone in my previous life .
I nodded and said .
“Okay . Attack Upa . ”
I concluded . If the angels were motivated to stop Pandemonium then I had some time . In the meantime, I would help Ariel take care of Upa .
