“Suits me and my boys,” he said, while looking around, “but… Where are my men?”
“I’ll summon them now!”
I didn’t know how much this merger affected the number of my forces. So I just summoned ten thousand for now, allowing for the rest to come from my second Earth.
“Our target is the same,” and as we got closer to the next territory, I held my horn and said, “we will first kill the frontline, then destroy buildings, and later clean up the mess. And be ready this time, I believe the lord of this land will be here.”
Just as I said these words, I could see a silhouette flashing in the middle of the air. As expected, the lord of this land was already here.
And that meant what happened back at the past territory was noticed and reported back to all the various forces around.
So dreaming about conquering these territories fast wasn’t an option.
“Little lizard… Go back and protect my territory,” as we wouldn’t be able to clear any territory fast, I decided to send back that behemoth to stay in defence and watch over my territory.
Conquering and devouring others was a great thing indeed, but just doing this and neglecting defending my land was a grave mistake. I’d lose everything if I lost my territory under any surprise attack.
“I see you got what happened at Lord’s world into your head!”
And just as we drew closer, the face of that dude became clear in my eyes.
He was a giant, with thin arcs of green fire dancing over his eyebrows, cheeks, and bare arms full of muscles. He held a big war axe, and a spear in his hands, wearing golden green armour and riding a grand flying beast.
It was like a grand eagle, with spikes instead of feathers. These spikes looked all metallic and sharp, giving me a dreadful feeling.
This dude… He looked strong!
“Lord, don’t forget power here depended on the level of one’s world, not just his real power,” from down below, Zangibar shouted and reminded me of this fact.
Yes, the power of this dude might look scary if we were fighting in another place. But here, there were many other factors in play.
So what if he was strong? Much stronger than I? My territory was almost the same as his, if not higher and stronger in grade.
I was sure the colour of my world wouldn’t be just white. It would climb up to be green or even blue. So that meant I got a boost from my world, enough to make this battle not that desperate to win.
“I like your land, why won’t you give it to me as a gift?” In return for his harsh words and aggressive tone, I also matched him with mine.
“You… Good! Just a newbie who got a hot head thanks to a single victory that was out of pure luck. Come, let me teach you a bitter lesson before chasing your ass all the way to your territory and claiming it.”
“We’ll see,” I laughed, waving my glaive a couple of times in the air before pointing it towards that territory, “let’s see if you’ll eat mine or I’ll eat yours.”
And with my words and me pointing for my glaive to the front, the battle started.
This time it was a hard clash from the start, one that made me realise the enemy was already prepared for my forces.
“Lucas… Lead the front and open gaps for my forces to infiltrate theirs,” and with this, I got to adapt and change my tactic.
The first order was given to the soulers, letting them go all out and try to take down the strongest forces of the enemy from the start.
“Little drag, use your abilities now!” I pointed towards the direction of the middle of the enemy, “attack this spot first then move around to hit other regions.”
“Yes, dark lord,” it nodded before starting out with the rain of falling fiery rocks.
“Pathetic! Come forth my ocean!”
And just as the fire spread all over the densest part of his forces, that lord took out a long staff, waved it in the air, summoning a dense amount of water that formed a ring before mighty waves started to come.
Oh… So you were an aquatic natured lord… Interesting!
“You know what to do,” but who said my little turtle would be pressured by water?
“Sure, leave this to me!”
Indeed its fiery meteorite ability was scary, but it wasn’t its deadliest attack.
The scariest and deadliest one was that ability to control water all over the place and turn them into fierce and deadly waves of tsunamis.
This dude… He just dug the grave of him and his forces with his own hands without even knowing about it!
*Rumble!*
Just as I gave the order, and as a huge amount of water appeared, covering up all the ground forces, turning this battle into an aquatic one, massive rumbling came from the direction of this water.
It was indeed water ability that showed how fierce and strong this foe was. He controlled such water to cover up the entire territory of his, spanning for over twenty miles in radius, and even coming at the front of my forces.
It helped in negating the fiery effect of the falling meteorites of my little turtle. But at the same time, and just before he and any of his forces would heave a sigh of relief, mighty tsunami waves appeared.
In the middle of an endless ocean, forming tsunami waves wouldn’t leave a single trace over the endless amount of ocean water.
But here, and just as the amount of water was limited, the tsunamis that my little turtle summoned left deep marks behind.
The little turtle dude was smart enough to create the waves starting from my forces side, moving all the way towards the opposite end at the far distance.
