So I just stood in my place for the next few minutes before releasing a few waves of attacks over the incoming big army. The enemies got it hard but they also responded with ballista bolts from their side.
“You came prepared…. Humph,” I simply shrugged while leaving the task for defending the attacks to my chariot’s shield.
Yet I didn’t stand there for any much longer. As I flew away, I made sure my speed wouldn’t be that big to widen the gap between the two of us.
Instead I tried to control it to make it look like it was fixed yet I was slowly closing up the distance.
“They stopped?!” just as they reached the city, they suddenly paused. “Don’t tell me that dude’s brilliant plan was to scare me away! Bullshit!”
Despite how hilarious this might look, in the end the enemy only surrounded the city and didn’t dare to come forward.
And from within the city I could see the previously stopped caravans going on once more.
“As if I’d let you have it this nicely!” I couldn’t believe that bastard thought so little of me and even considered me to be like him; a coward!
“Attack!”
As I got enraged by such humilative comparison, I pushed forth my chariot while giving the order to my fallen gods to start their deadly attack.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
In return for that, the enemy launched a dense amount of large ballista arrows, trying to force me back.
All these arrows did was to cause a series of popping sounds over my chariot’s shield. They couldn’t even leave a single scratch over it. And how could these weak attacks dare to do that to my sturdy shield?
My aim here was the caravan not the army itself. After all their aim here was the caravan and not me myself. So in this simple clash, I killed many of their frontline forces all the way down to the caravans that just got outside the city.
Without much trouble I turned around, attacked a few times here and there before going away and stood half a mile from their frontline.
They seemed to be shocked by what I did. This time they knew they could pose literally no threat to me using their useless arrows and ballista.
So either that dude would spend more to get higher grade weapons or he would lean towards the other choice and order his army to push me further away.
And like I expected, the army started to close up at me while attacking with everything they got.
“Attack!” After a ten minutes chase, they seemed to feel more confident as they let their caravans out. Like before I simply dived over the caravans while killing anyone standing in front of my path.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs their arrows were so friendly to my chariot, how could I let the caravans get out safely and reach that bastard?
Pressure… I had to exert pressure on any chance I got so I could push him towards one simple conclusion.
And again as I expected, he ordered his army to push with everything they got, not stop at any moment no matter what.
This time I kept my chariot flying over the army down below and kept attacking them everywhere. I didn’t really retreat that much. After all, if I went far from the city, the caravans would get their path safely to the tower.
In the meantime, I checked over Fang, Wryly, and others. It was great to finally hear their good news about drawing close to their designated spots.
It was close, I could already sniff your scent from miles away coward!
Yet I didn’t hurry to use the tracking ability of my daggers. I left these for the final moments.
After all, I gained control over two cities and was literally paralysing the third with my actions. That dude wouldn’t be in any of these cities, less he would be in the tower zone.
So where might that dude be? In my opinion, he was located in a place not too far away from all this mess.
Crushing the tower came as top priority for me at this moment. As he was already away from this zone, I didn’t hurry to locate him.
Even if I found him, I wouldn’t be able to chase and kill him easily. Or else I’d risk losing the city and caravans, letting that bastard deliver the needed ore to his precious tower.
I knew if I just gave this dude a chance, he would go a mile for it. I pressured him to such a tight spot. And it was my responsibility to keep pressuring him and never allow him any moment to breathe.
But I also didn’t plan to delay my move against him for much longer. I only waited for my allies to reach their spots and start their counterattack.
Then I’d find a way to find that bastard and kill him once and for all.
[I’m here!]
Just as I kept my attacks coming and draining the power from the grand army down below, this message came from no one else but the long awaited Wryly.
“Ooohhhaaa!” and with it, his long famous warcy resounded across the entire battlefield from one direction.
“Ooohhhaaa!” A mightier echo came from the grand army he led. I raised my head and looked at his direction while feeling much joy about that.
[I’ll leave things here to you] I sent to him before adding, [Here is a city with a mega gate. It’s considered as me giving it to you. In addition to that, there are two more mega gates waiting for you to claim, besides the one in the central zone]
[Thanks dear bro, I will never forget your generosity here] he didn’t hustle about the third mega gate. After all he had to fight here himself and gain it with his own efforts.
But it was clear what I just sent to him. You wanted the other three gates? Then you had to accept this one on the top of this list, or you’d get nothing at all.
Wryly was acting smart here, or perhaps he was too kind hearted to not even notice my hidden message and threat here. Anyway I got what I wanted and it was time to end this.
*Clang!*
“You’ll never be able to survive the incoming wrath from my paragon!”
As each time I killed his shadows during the past hour, this dude kept threatening me with his paragon.
Come on! If your paragon had balls, let him come and meet up with me! I dared him to do that if he was a man, not an illusionist!
But I knew talking back to that dude was a waste of breath. His race was all but courageous.
This time was different as I killed him using the smaller dagger. It was loaded with the illusion grenades, while the moment that shadow dispersed, the dagger vanished alongside with it.
“Time to hunt you down, bastard,” I felt the connection between me and that dagger. A long trail appeared in front of my eyes linking the two daggers together.
As I thought, the direction that link connected led me away from the direction of this big war. I didn’t hesitate to use my chariot’s fully powered high speed to its max, praying that dude wouldn’t have a means to cut the connection between the two of us.
This was the only chance I got to kill him. Missing it and he would be more cautious and much prepared next time we met.
Luckily that dude wasn’t that much away from this place. I travelled for ten miles before I could see flashes of bright blue lights coming from one direction.
And it was the same direction the link led me towards.
“Damn you!” Just before I could arrive, I heard his earth shattering shout. Then a big bubble appeared that enveloped a group of five hundred people within.
As I reached there I was shocked to see no illusionists but dragons. “So you got the help from that bastard as well… Let him save you from my glaive!”
I harrumphed while taking out my light weighted glaive. That bastard was standing still in the middle of this group while the look on his face told me how horrified he was.
Yet the illusion acted from the grenades I embedded inside that dagger. These items really were worth every penny I paid for them.
“I’ll leave for last,” I didn’t hurry to kill him and first let my glaive work its magic at the all standing still dragons.
I never knew the grenade would also affect those nearby the target. This added more value to it.
Just as smooth as that I killed everyone and at last I stood in front of that bastard, waiting for him to return to his senses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring all this time I kept checking with my forces. Fang led his army with mine and landed heavily on the heads of those protecting the central tower.
As for the jumper, he finally acted again. Wryly was so impatient as he led part of his elite forces, took control of the third mega gate before heading directly towards the tower.
His eyes were fixated over the grand prize, that epic gate. He seemed to fear the intentions of Fang as that dude wouldn’t give up on such hot cake this easily.
“F*ck you!”
Just as I was immersed in checking with them, that loud curse came from that dude’s mouth. I turned and watched him crawl away, with his body shaking out of boundless fear.
“Sigh! I can’t imagine someone as cowardly as you will be an archlord of a race here,” I shook my head in disappointment before moving fast, placing my glaive just inches away from his head to stop him from this shameless escape.
“Tell me first before I kill you, who is the one you came all this way for?” This was something I wanted to know.
“F*ck you! Even if you killed me here, I’m sure many of her admirers will come and kill you later on!”
As he didn’t intend to speak, I simply cut his head using my glaive.
I only met with one unique illusionist before that dude, that reincarnator shadow master. I didn’t know we had a relationship before.
“That girl…” while collecting the loot from their bodies, I kept cursing that girl in my thoughts.
How shameless of her! Going around and spreading lies about our love relationship! I couldn’t believe a girl would go to such an extent away from those hot and all time aroused succubi.
As I gathered my loot, I returned to the main battle where I killed many of the enemy forces before heading towards the tower.
What I got from all of my team was that they already controlled the tower. But they tried to demolish it yet failed. As I reached there, I found a funny scene to be honest.
Half of the tower was guarded by Fang’s men while the other half was secured by Wryly. At the same time, the two leaders stood head to head with each other, glaring without saying a single word as if a bloody battle would erupt at any second.
These two were really funny.
“Finally you came!” The one to speak first as I arrived and landed my chariot next to this funny stance was the jumper. “These two were this close to start a blood bath except for me.”
“Who are you?” the two asked at the same time while I simply laughed. Using the rope I landed to the ground, wiped imaginary dust off my hands before asking:
“What are you two doing?”
“This bro is acting shameless!” Wryly was the first to speak and from his tone I could tell how enraged he was, “he tried to take the gate for himself!”
“It doesn’t belong to anyone, right?” Fang tried to act smart while I simply gave him an evil grin.
That dude… I swore he had a blood relation with those greedy and shameless drags!
“If you are this capable, then I dare you to take it,” I simply said as if this was something he could do.
But in fact he couldn’t!
