136 The World Is Too Small To Run Away From Me
Just as the jumper said it, the Gollems unleashed the grenade of death using the deadly arrow. The arrow sent by the ballista could travel a large distance in no time.
And the moment it vanished from my eyesight, a massive explosion occurred the next moment.
*Rumble!*
I started my attack using such a deadly welcome. A big rounded bubble of white light engulfed many of the enemy forces at their heart.
And before ten seconds passed, I launched many attacks of the chariot as I turned it into the fully powered version.
“Assemble!”
“Enemy attack!”
“The dirty human is attacking us!”
“Get in formation!”
Many shouts instantly arrived as many started to run down there and get into rounded formations.
Each formation had at least one hundred dragon race fighters alongside hundreds of other races, including the succubi.
The succubus girls stood in the centre. I didn’t need to use my hawk skill to know how scared they were.
Bitches! You double crossed me and joined the enemy, so don’t blame me and blame yourselves instead.
“Watch out!” the jumper suddenly pointed at one formation, “they got the deadly heart of dragon machine!”
It was the first time I heard about such an item. I used my hawk skill to see a strange thing that was like a small trebuchet with a strange wedge shaped steel made item instead of the elastic belt.
And at that wedge shaped item, I spotted many rounded flaring with orange fire objects.
“They are deadly,” the jumper warned, “taking a single hit head on will kill you.”
“I have my shield,” I shrugged as I simply activated the full power of my chariot, “and I have you.”
“Are you planning to use me as a shield? No way! No f*cking way!”
I knew he was joking, even when he jumped a few steps to the back. Dude, you knew what I meant, right?
“Get ready,” just to make sure he got me right I added, “I’ll shield whatever they send, and you have to jump during the chaos.”
“Tsk, always leaving the hard tasks for me, that’s quite unfair, tsk!”
I rolled up my eyes and instead of wasting my breath over him, I scanned the area.
Every rounded formation had one of those war weapons. I felt the urge to obtain them, at least a dozen of them were waiting down below.
“Make sure to not hurt those babies,” I warned.
“You can’t trust your lust for girls, y’know that, right?”
“Dude, I was talking about the other babies, those whatever called weapons.”
“Ah, I mistook what you said then,” I heard a short laugh that ignited my old desire to hit him in the face.
Stop fooling around when I was seriously speaking dude!”
*Rumble!* *Rumbl!* *Rumble!*
“See you later.”
These weapons unleashed hell over my head before that jumper vanished with that short farewell notice. I looked up and all I could see was the shield of my pretty girl here was trembling under such vicious attack.
“Fascinating!” I was inwardly amazed and shocked by such a weapon. A single one wasn’t enough to threaten my shield, but in the span of one minute, I counted over one hundred of these darts exploding massively at my shield.
With such numbers, they exerted enough pressure to take out one million stat points from my chariot reserve. Damn! Even with a direct hit from the angelic star weapon my chariot never consumed such an amount!
I wanted it, I badly wanted all of them!
But the drawback of such a weapon appeared once the one minute passed. I saw half of the dragon fighters moving to replace the remains of these darts from the steel wedges with the help of other races.
Such a procedure required a large number of hands to get done. Even with hundreds working at the same time, it seemed these weapons would take roughly ten minutes to be fired up again.
Well… In an intense battle with such low numbers, such weapons would become a liability and not weapons.
The mistake that the arrogant dragon leader committed here was to bring forth such a large number of them at the same time.
With the lack of personnel, and fighting someone like me with various weapons in his arsenal, it was a deadly mistake indeed.
“If I was you, I would have only used three of them and left the rest hidden for later,” I shook my head in disappointment. “Even using five minutes against me is deadly, not to mention you needed ten!”
Just as the first wave ended, and as the troops scattered at a large distance below were preoccupied with the replacement procedure, my attack finally started officially.
The first to hit was no one else by my brave soulers. After them came my lone wolf, the jumper.
The two were enough to disturb the actions of four groups at the same time. But I wasn’t content with that.
“Get down there to help,” I summoned my warriors, “don’t harm those machines… I want them. Bring them to me,” I gave such order to the dragons while the rest roared.
Then they started to disembark from my chariot as I led it to fly closer to the ground.
I watched them run in a strong momentum towards the enemy. The first to arrive, of course, were my brave dragons. They simply unleashed hell over two groups, killing a lot in a few breaths.
“Damn! I told you not to harm my babies!!” Just as I feared, the small dragons couldn’t control themselves and overdid it somehow.
And now one precious doll of mine was damaged. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Damn!
“Don’t harm babies!!” I couldn’t help but scream in panic, trying to stop those idiots from smashing anymore gears.
I didn’t know if they heard me or not, but starting from this moment they didn’t touch those weapons.
[Attack, but pay attention to not harm the big weapons in the centre of each formation] I feared Sara and her army would be dumber than my dragons and would smash the rest amidst the heat of battle.
[Got it] a simple answer was followed with a loud war cry coming from the distance. Then thousands of humans wearing armour and wielding weapons swarmed the place.
I had to admit, they showed much more progress than the last time I met them indeed. This was the right way to raise a herde of killers, spread them all across the battlefield and let them grow by fighting.
As things ended in such a way, I started to look for my main enemy; that dragon leader.
“Where did you hide? Under a rock or what?” but after carefully scanning the entire battlefield thrice, I couldn’t find him.
Wait… did he run away? Damn! He was a coward, more cowardly than I originally thought!
The battlefield was already chaotic, so I had to triple check before reaching such a conclusion. As he was gone, I had to narrow down his escaping options.
He couldn’t hide in the city, and he didn’t go south or else I would have met him. Also he wouldn’t move north as Sara with her army already blocked the way.
“So you either ran east or west… If I had to gamble, then it will be west,” without waiting for any second here, I moved my chariot with her top speed, flashing in the sky and creating a series of afterimages.
[The crazy cold dude with the mask is asking where you are going] just a few minutes later, Sara sent this weird message to me.
[Can’t he send it to me directly instead?] I sent it back.
[He is killing lots of enemies, jumping like a dancer. Damn! If not for his harsh attitude and that mask and muscles, I’d mistake him for a girl for his outstanding agility!]
I looked at this message and couldn’t help but helplessly smile. [The leader of this army is gone, I’m searching for him]
[He wouldn’t go our way, we already surrounded the area long time ago]
[I know, just keep things there under control and store the weapons and bodies until I come back] I paused in thinking before adding, [If I took longer than expected, go around the city and salvage dead bodies of the races]
[Alright]
It was good to have such capable aidees. For a second I missed Angelica and others.
Wait… why didn’t they come with her?
[Did you meet Angelica, Isabella, and others while coming here?]
[No, were they nearby?]
That was weird. I hurriedly checked the channel and saw their feed. And what I saw made me smile.
[You are tagging across that crazy dude?] I said to Angelica as I was opening her feed.
[Damn! Can you see us?] she wasn’t the only one shocked when I spoke, but others as well.
The four girls were crawling under a rock in the middle of ruins. In the front, almost five hundred metres away, there was a group taking their rest of the long strenuous travel.
And that group had faces that I recognised, faces I was trying to hunt at the moment; that dragon leader with the succubus girl and their elite warriors.
[Where are you now?] I asked, [I’m trying to hunt down those guys]
[Speak in the chat better] I heard the low and whispering voice of Isabella as she seemed more excited than nervous.
[Alright, we can speak here… Tell me what happened?] I opened a chat with Angelica and the latter sent back:
[We were bored when you were gone, so we started to roam around and claim castles in the area]
[And?]
[We met a suspicious group, that one. At first we tried to not follow them, but when we heard them mentioning you and how bad you will feel when you’ll find them gone, we decided to trail them]
[Good girls] I sent.
[Hey, I was also with them and I was the one who proposed the idea to track these guys in the first place!]
This message came from the spearhead, making me shake my head in helplessness. That dude was trying to score anything good to make his image in front of Isabella better.
Well, you were trying your best dude, I gave this to you.
[So where are you now?] I sent before asking, [Don’t tell me you are on New York city]
[No, they crossed the river and ended up west] she sent, [we are almost five miles away from the river. Those bastards ran like they got nothing left behind to care about]
[We are good, boss, leave them to us. We can handle them]
The last message came from the spearhead, making me want to slap him on the face.
[Tell that idiot next to you to shut his mouth and hold his breath tight. This group is formed from the leader of a strong dragon force and his elites. Not to mention those elite succubi. A single look from one of those girls is enough to dominate his heart and make him forget his love]
I was still opening the feed over. Angelica was relaying in low tone what I was sending to her. The moment I sent her this message, she fought hard to not laugh in a loud voice before saying what I sent over.
And that dude’s face turned really ugly before he sent a message to me.
[Boss, my love is as hard as iron and impregnable like a steel fortress!]
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw his words. [Dude, these girls’ temptation is hot, hot enough to melt down your proclaimed iron and fragile steel] I sent to Angelica before adding:
[Just stay put and don’t do anything reckless. Those guys are far more dangerous than you think. Don’t let them discover you. Give me something I can start from to get to you]
Despite the ugly face of the spearhead, the other girls were resisting the urge to fall on the ground and laugh.
[We moved slightly to the north from the castle you left us at. Keep moving in the north west direction for twenty minutes. We are beside a small destroyed town with a big stadium in its heart]
[Ok] As I got such vague instructions, I started to recall the place of that castle I left them at.
“Trying to run away from me? Humph, I’ll teach you now how small the world is!”
