1214 The Arrival Of Sara
Even with my elite warriors, things didn’t look that good. I felt like my warriors weren’t enough to take the enemy down. And that was a true statement.
During the past hour, the warriors I sent were able to control different regions of the entire ten layers. But this wasn’t even close to claiming the entire layers.
My hands were now tied down with controlling Hescos. After half an hour of trying without pause, I ended up controlling hundreds of thousands of these Hescos, and much more were this close from being added to this list.
But when one hour passed, I saw the pillar of light flashed and the incoming armies appeared.
And in the first batch, I spotted Sara coming out on her chariot. She looked deadly, like a queen from hell that just got to this world.
I didn’t know why she looked like this, but I suddenly realised that it was my first time ever watching her fight in a long time.
Or was it because I never watched her fight from such a close distance? I couldn’t tell…
As she appeared like that, I knew it would end up bad for the defending forces at the lowest layers of this fortress.
And that sounded like music in my ears.
I didn’t need to worry anymore about the fight at these layers. My main focus should be over the flying Hescos who were still in millions.
Just when the new army appeared, the entire situation grew at a very alarming rate.
The flying Hescos seemed to sense danger, started abandoning their earlier strategy of running around like scared mice and started to come down like a flood of ferocious tigers at my enemies.
This change was sudden even for me. All this time, the Hescos tried their best to evade my threats, and now they seemed to not care about them at all? This was weird.
Yet I didn’t stop releasing my threads to take control of the Hescos. If they wanted to deliver themselves over to me, then I’d simply not say no.
Just as the endless soldiers of mine kept appearing from the portal, I sensed something wasn’t right.
Without waiting for long, the sky that was already flashing with blinding lights started to quake. Something big was coming, something scary was attacking the shields of mine.
I looked up and couldn’t tell what was coming. That stupid shield of light kept things happening out there off my sight.
Whatever it was, it was big enough to tear through many of my shields at one go. I looked around and knew I had to make up my mind for this.
Either I should select attacking the flying Hescos around and ditch the defending shields, or I should work over my shields, preventing what was coming from taking down the shields.
In fact both options looked unfavourable to me. I clenched my fists and made up my mind.
I’d go for both options until I got no option left in front of me.
I was already doing this before such an attack arrived. Even if it was scary, even if the ones releasing it kept doing it for a long time, the large number of shields I already formed would take quite some time to be brought down.
Instead of feeling confused or something, I started to focus more on controlling the Hescos. The moment the shield up there would be close from destruction would put an end to my efforts to control these Hescos.
The Hescos I already controlled signed a contract with me. Their number now was exceeding million, close to two actually.
If I got another hour, then I could easily double or triple such numbers. However the attacks coming from high above wouldn’t give me such a chance.
As I kept casting more skills and controlling more Hescos, I also kept an eye over the ongoing battle at the layers around.
Even if I got millions of Hescos, I didn’t let them join the fight against other Hescos. I just made them fly away, faking their attempt to evade my threads without taking part in this battle.
If other Hescos tried to fight and kill them, they’d be faced with great resistance before they eventually would change sides forcibly.
Any Hescos daring to come near my controlled ones would end up getting attacked by my threads. So after many failed attempts, the Hescos decided to give up taking down their controlled comrades.
When they shifted their attention over the ground battles, they got much worse by then. The armies that came out from the portal weren’t just soldiers. Many weapons also appeared here as well.
Many anti-aerial forces weapons appeared. Even without the need to use any suit forces, the weapons were enough to cause enough headache to these Hescos.
In addition to the dragons that kept harassing the Hescos all the time. So in the end, the Hescos were squeezed between my forces and my threads.
At the same time, the ground Hescos troops who were hiding deep inside the underground forts started to gush out en masse.
Their numbers kept increasing by hundreds of thousands each passing minute. In just ten minutes, I estimated that tens of millions of Hescos were fighting my few million forces down below.
It looked dangerous, but even with such a large disparity between the two sides, my forces were doing great by facing the Hescos at many layers already.
Only four layers looked on the verge of being lost. Seeing this didn’t make me feel any worry at all. My earlier plans depended on controlling just two up to three lowest layers after all.
Taking control of six layers was something much better than what I initially expected. Even if I got strangled by fighting the incoming attacks and controlling Hescos, unable to step in and summon more warriors to help, more of my forces were coming out from the portal with each passing minute.
