255 The Battle At Northampton
Besides I already called forth all my scattered forces in the West. in less than twelve hours they’d show up here, giving all the help needed to these two.
Expanding the fight would come next. Yet I’d be all stationed at MIT campus, trying to sort out the grand upgrade plan of the human firearms.
I’d also start sending troops one day from now to the first dungeon. First I’d have to take full control over these two cities, then start arranging the work at MIT, then do this dungeon thing at the end.
Phew! My schedule was really tight and intense.
The human army was moving as slow as the races I got. Even if my races were weakened, they still moved as fast as the common human fighter in the apocalypse.
That was enough evidence on how important the cultivation difference was. And that made me rethink again about how to open cultivation for all humans.
I had to search deeper about that topic. I’d ask the green nymph lady when time was appropriate.
I’d need all the info about cultivation in the universe. Also I’d need any useful tool or equipment to help and open the dantian and meridians for any race.
The main problem here would be this step. Opening the dantian and meridians for the human race would be a hard process. I even doubted I’d find any suitable tool to do so.
That was why I considered gathering up any record, scroll, book, or even a recording about cultivation. I had to spread this culture first among humans then think about how to let them cultivate.
Knowledge was everything, and we, humans, lacked anything related to cultivation.
Other races were trained over cultivation since they were young. This showed how big the gap was between us and them.
It took me and my forces roughly a couple of hours to reach the central zone of Massachusetts. The first one third of its west part was already under my control.
But now I was faced with a big city called Northampton. It wasn’t that big like Albany or New York, but it was filled with lots of hostile races.
The hostile army defending this city was so large to extend even beyond the ruins of the city for half a mile. Inside the city, I could spot five small gates, shining all the time, seemingly bringing forces here.
“So they are bringing forces to delay my advance… I’ll know the bottom of this once I’m there,” I muttered while raising my glaive, pointing it towards the front and shouted one single word: Kill! ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
My personal army of warriors was already running at the forefront of my human forces. I didn’t intend on using the human forces to take this city or any other city on this track.
After all, their speed would be much slower than my warriors. With my shout, my warriors sprinted to the front, clashing first with the enemy.
These hostile races weren’t that much at all. They reminded me of the races the Succubi brought at any battle I fought with them before.
What? Were the Succubi behind this or what? I’d soon know once I purged the city of the invaders.
The fight was simply one sided from the start. My warriors were aided by my fallen gods, soulers, and even dragons. Just lacking any way to defend against aerial attacks was enough to crush any defences no matter how strong they were.
Seeing how effective my dragons were, I seriously thought about expanding their forces. Right now I could do miracles with the small numbers I got here. But later on such an advantage would soon crumble if I didn’t act and add more dragons.
The current stage of the apocalypse had aquatic monsters, no aerial ones. But soon at quest five, the first waves of aerial monsters would appear.
They were weak, I knew that. But with each upcoming quest, these aerial monsters would evolve, show more power, and much fiercer flying monsters would appear as well.
It was time for me to pay more attention to my dragon forces. I looked at my soul points to be met with a pleasant surprise.
“Four million points… That’s really something…”
Despite knowing the large debt I owed, I didn’t hesitate in using one million and summoning dragons.
Two hundred dragons appeared and joined my current forces. I didn’t add much stat points to them, only enough to open three skills for each of them.
With these, my dragon force was a little closer to one thousand marks. I let loose all of my warriors and in less than one hour, they dominated their enemies.
The main problem I faced was the constant reinforcements coming from the five gates. At some point I got fed up with these, and decided to go and take them all.
When I flew towards the first gate, I became more confident in my earlier guess. These gates all had the same colour, pale red coloured energy was surrounding the gates. I knew this was one of the most common colours of the succubi, yet I didn’t get their aim here.
To be specific, this race would be my second best pick for the most cowardly race in the apocalypse. They would only be beaten by the illusionists.
So what was such a cowardly race doing at the forefront battlefield like this? Things didn’t add up! Even if they were my enemies, their nature would make them take the side of a strong race like Dragons and fight alongside them.
The bad thing was the void of any succubus girl inside the city. I took in the five gates, shut down the annoying reinforcement thing, and that led to the swift ending of the battle.
“So gaining control over the gates is the fastest way to win this fight,” I was sure that my enemies would be more familiar with the way of my fights. So it was weird how they were fighting this battle.
