“Don’t worry, I have ways to solve this problem,” I said to reassure these two, “but whoever wants to join me now has to know this before deciding that.”
“Will that offer stand for a limited time or…” Lilith was smart enough to jump over this point. While Will gave me the kind of look that things weren’t done yet here about this matter.
“This offer stands for the end of time,” I said with a short laugh before adding, “but the early to join will enjoy better treatment. Besides those joining me first will have a better chance in proving themselves to me, reaping more benefits and even have a higher chance in being in my closed circle of trusted subordinates.”
“Are we in that circle?” Will’s face tightened while asking this, and I simply nodded.
“What do you think you are then, dude?” I said before stating it clearly, “those in this circle will enjoy much better treatment than anyone else. To put it in simple words, I’m the king and you are my ministers. Think about it in light of this rule of thumb.”
The tight expression over his face loosened. It was clear that I wasn’t a normal human at all. The path ahead of me was paved with glory and great things.
Whoever would be in my close circle would enjoy lots of benefits later on. The two were smart enough to realise this, enduring little for now and gaining much later on.
I liked their quick witted minds. Hopefully the rest of gamers would be as smart as these two.

They were really meticulous. They didn’t just say we need one hundred thousand pieces of gears for example, but they stated their types as well.
They even went to the length of stating how heavy and big these gears should be. Numbers appeared in front of my eyes as she sent me a message containing everything I needed to know.
“Here,” I simply opened my inventory, took almost five hundred thousand pieces of gears with the specifications they asked for.
The look of shock over their faces was priceless, and yet I had to apologise.
“I can’t give all fine graded gears, as I don’t have that much to meet your specific conditions,” I said and the two were taken aback with my words.
“N… No problem, this is… very much enough for all of us for now,” Lilith said while trying to control her excitement, yet she and him failed.
As the two took all the stat points and gears I took out, I looked at this city for the last time. The number of human forces here were close to one hundred thousand, a big number if you asked me.
After all, all of them were related to games, and they survived depending only on themselves. Just thinking about all this raised my hopes for this force off the roof.
And now it was time to go to the two cities I craved for such a long time.
As I was done here, I summoned back all my scattered forces. Just before leaving, I summoned another batch of dragons.
The more I thought about it, the more their role became bigger and important. The Hectors used aquatic monsters, never bringing to surface any flying monster.
That might be an underestimation from their part, also it might be their true force. Aquatic monsters might be one of their largest forces at their disposal currently.
Dragons weren’t that weak, and they could easily fight through water as well. I summoned them and gave them enough stat points to reach level hundred.
And with it I was ready to move.
I let my Albany city monsters board the chariot with me. These folks were brutal and strong, but I couldn’t treat them the same way I did with my summoned warriors.
The initial ten thousand monsters shrank to only six thousand now. The rest were lost during that fight, especially the last part of it.
I had no regret towards that. After all these monsters could be summoned again. Losing them here wasn’t a big thing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot to mention I didn’t summon all of the monsters from Albany city. There were still ninety thousand monsters waiting for me to summon.
According to the map I got, there were still three cities between me and my target. One was called Newton, the second was called Framingham, and the third one was called Marlborough.
Newton was the closest city to Cambridge, and Marlborough was the closest one to me.
I flew for almost half an hour before reaching Marlborough. Unlike Worcester, taking control over this city came without problems at all.
Hectors didn’t appear there, and more strangely those succubi allied races didn’t come as well. I didn’t know if this was connected or something, but I hardly believed that.
After all Hectors were the public enemies of everyone, including the succubus race.
Anyway one was taken down and two were left to conquer. I sent a message to Lilith, asking her to send a force to take control over this city’s castles and emblems.
A weird thing happened again. Framingham city looked like a city of ghosts, just exactly like the city of Marlborough.
Weird… One city was enough to make me doubt it. And now there were two of them… What was going on here exactly?
“You… Go this way and scout the areas around the next city,” my guts told me something terrible was waiting for me up there. I didn’t hope for Cambridge and Boston to turn into a brutal battlefield, not when I planned to use all the gears and equipment of MIT university.
“You… Go beyond the next city and scout the next two,” I didn’t feel reassured and sent more dragons to scout the areas around the three cities.
Then I stopped. The first thing I did was to check over my forces current locations.
