And all came down to this land, taking it under my wing.
I watched, and the fight looked really intense from the start. There was a clear disparity in numbers between the two sides.
I got one hundred thousand, and the other side got almost five times my numbers. And to make things worse, the power difference between the two sides wasn’t that big to make up for the lack of numbers.
The early advantage we got from coming all of sudden like this was going to be negated and lost soon. This was thanks to the many towers scattered all over the place.
The territory size was vast, at least five times my land. If this continued, then forget about taking this land, most of my forces would be killed and the win wouldn’t come fast.
In addition to that, the lord might come. And if he did, he would be able to summon more forces to aid.
This couldn’t continue.
“Come forth!” I called forth for my little turtle, and I then called out my little dragon as well.
Two huge behemoths appeared all of sudden, all looking deadly and scary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCompared to all my forces, these two alone were enough to be called two different armies without doubt.
“Don’t hold back,” I pointed my glaive over to the distance, “shower death over these enemies without restrain!”
“Lord, I will make you proud of me,” the little turtle seemed more excited than the lizard. Yet when the two started to act, things started to change drastically for my side.
The two behemoths focused their attacks over the central part of this territory, destroying many buildings and leaving behind heaps of dead bodies.
The deadlier one was that turtle. It started the attack first using the falling meteorite, then it started to use its land cleaving ability and let lava rocks come out from the depth of a deep crater.
This sudden change startled the arrangement of the enemy forces. And that was what my side waited for to regain the upper hand again.
And as things reached this point, I didn’t hold back my hand.
“Pulse wave!” I instantly used my chariot’s attack, pushing away many of the frontline forces. Then I jumped down, waved my glaive in the air a couple of times, before landing it fiercely over the bodies of those nearby.
Each hit left a rumbling faint shock behind, killing the enemy almost instantly. I started walking, while my chariot kept flying on top of my head, protecting me from any incoming enemy attacks.
All landed and were deflected over my shield, and then my glaive came next to claim the lives of those enemies blocked by my shield.
I kept walking around, killing enemies without any struggle, while helping to relieve any pressure exerted over my forces from any direction.
The enemy seemed to realise they were fighting a losing war, and so they moved fast and in such an experienced way, retreating all the way towards the still standing towers around the central region.
It was a good move, but it wasn’t good enough. First of all, tons of fiery rocks were falling from the sky, turning the central part of this territory into such a piece of hell.
And who said I’d just stand idle and watch these forces move freely as they’d like.
“See these still standing towers?” I turned to my lizard, “go and smash them one by one.”
It was impossible for it to get hurt. For its colossal body and immense strength, even if it was facing this army alone it wouldn’t face any real trouble.
But this wasn’t how this battle would be won. I had to control this entire land before that lord would arrive and replenish his lost forces.
As I watched my lizard move fast towards the directions of the still standing towers, I realised that what Zangibar said before about my territory and others was wrong.
It was clear that what I saw in the size difference of each territory compared with mine was real. And that meant amidst all the other territories here, mine was the smallest and weakest right now.
And that placed more urgency about rapidly taking over this territory fast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Come out!” recognising this, I decided to try and summon my fallen gods here.
And luckily, they came!
“Go, roam over this army and kill as many as you can! Destroy any building you see,” I summoned and left them over my chariot before controlling it with my thoughts to fly over the place.
How to control another lord’s territory? There were two different ways, one was by killing the lord owning the territory, and the other was by destroying any single building here and killing all the forces belonging to that lord.
And the second method was the one I was adopting at this moment.
With the addition of my fallen gods, things started to grow better and the destruction and killing started to be faster. I also didn’t hold back and started to target buildings more than forces.
Without these defensive and various living buildings, these forces wouldn’t be able to hold for long on their own.
They lacked any aerial units, and with my two behemoths on the side of my forces and my fallen gods, things started to look gloomy for them.
We started to push them deeper and deeper, corner them between us and the deep crater than extended all across the central part of this territory.
The fight didn’t last much longer than half an hour before the last building got destroyed. And by that, the entire territory looked like a flat and barren one, filled with ruins, just a typical sight of any apocalypse world.
“Hurry! That damn lord is coming!” and just as I was killing the scattered and scared forces here, a shout came from one direction, alarming me.
I saw a flash of a bright light that started to appear at the central part of this land. If that lord came, then we would have to face an endless stream of forces.
And this fight would last for longer, much longer than I wanted to.
