1174 Starting The Counterattack
The outside battle was indeed dire. We started losing many of the suit forces, and the Hescos were advancing steadily towards the central zone.
I could only watch this and sigh. The outer layer was entirely crushed. And the Hescos alongside their allied races were coming hot towards the outer hole, almost close from reaching there.
Once this endless swarm of forces managed to cross the hole, then the battle in the midzone would turn uglier. I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. And so I turned towards Isac as I ordered:
“All the warriors here, let them get on board these monsters and get ready to fight,” I paused before adding, “the target will be the second hole. Make sure the monsters and warriors know this.”
“Are we going to take reinforcements from here?” Isac wasn’t the only one surprised by my decision. Others looked at me in weird ways, especially Legend.
“Lord, let me go in there and join the fight,” that kid had a very explosive blood. He couldn’t control himself anymore and wanted to go in there and have some fun.
“No,” but my answer came as swift as his question.
“Lord… I’m not that weak,” he seemed to be taken aback by my instant rejection.
“It’s not a question of your abilities,” I slowly shook my head, “it’s just there is no need to waste two grand generals in one world.”
“But the situation there is quite bad…”
“It’s not a stage you can shine at,” I interrupted his words, “just stand out and learn from this fight about how these Hescos battle. Pray to gods that your world will be one with Hescos, or else you can’t blame anyone for your bad luck.”
He returned to his side dejectedly and without any sign of arguing anymore. Even if he was quite impulsive about going there, he knew he could do nothing if I said no.
Wasting two armies in one world, and on top of that two capable grand generals wasn’t worth it.
Not to mention things out there weren’t going to be this bad.
The boarding process didn’t take as long as I expected. The process went smoothly and in fifteen minutes, all the modified monsters were filled to the brim with my warriors.
I estimated that at most five millions would be transported. But when I looked at the empty ground around, I got the feeling that over twenty millions were over the monster backs at this moment.
Seeing this site made me feel more comfortable. Without any delay I gave the order and that army flew through the pillar of light, heading towards the other world.
The moment the early waves of monsters appeared, they didn’t stop and flew fast and crossed the distance fast towards the outer hole.
The situation at the outer hole was dire. But when the flying legions of monsters appeared, the situation turned upside down.
The first wave of attacks came from the flying Hescos. They tried to stop the incoming few monsters, but they got beaten as well by the weapons on top of the monsters’ backs.
At the same time when the Hescos attacks landed, the monsters’ bodies shone brightly by fierce lights while their bodies got covered with dense pieces of armour. The protective bubble shield appeared as well.
The three layered defence kited down the scary attacks landing at the monsters, rendering them mostly useless.
Just when the attacks passed, the warriors on the backs of the monsters jumped off. The monsters flew closer to the ground, and the warriors landed, rolling over the bodies of the dense enemies there, and started their killing spree.
I didn’t know if this was just a strike of luck or this was intentional, but the monsters led the warriors to areas filled with other races except for Hescos.
That made the landing process of tens of thousands of my warriors much smoother than I expected. At the same time, the warriors once touched the ground and stood on their feet, moved their weapons and killed the weaker races, clearing out a large area for more warriors to land.
The attack and landing process came just outside the outer hole. The Hescos saw the scattered zones which turned into safe areas temporarily for my forces and then tried to crush these before growing bigger.
But when they finished from the first wave of attack, more monsters caught up from the direction of the portal, turning the entire situation more dangerous for these Hescos.
They couldn’t risk shifting their attention towards the ground warriors for the time being. The monsters were growing in number by each passing minute, and now they almost reached fifty thousand strong.
This was nothing compared with the millions of flying Hescos. But what was the use of numerical advantage when the Hescos failed to kill enough monsters before?
The second attack landed fiercely and many monsters fell this time. They mostly were the monsters belonging to the first wave that arrived. It seemed their protective gears got exhausted by the first attack.
However when the second wave ended, the ground situation grew more favourable to my warriors. And while the ground warriors were trying to stop the advance of the races and Hescos from the outer regions, I spotted something flashing on the ground.
“Wow! They got cannons with them! That’s impressive and pretty much unexpected!” I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the tens of thousands of cannons and machine guns getting fixed on the ground and starting to aim and heat up towards the flying Hescos.
Those muzzles flared up in different lights, giving the impression that little stars were shining down in the middle of a dark sky.
This sudden attack coming from the ground interrupted the Hescos formation. The attack came just in time when the Hescos tried to launch their third wave of attacks.
Despite the disparity of numbers, the attacks coming from two directions made quite the impact. After all, each monster was filled with dozens of weapons that could endanger these Hescos.
