256 Going To Worcester City
That meant they didn’t aim to slow me down, but my forces. A flash of realisation hit me… “They aren’t after me, but trying to prevent my forces from securing more cities and towns, killing monsters and stacking materials.”
It seemed that the news of my punishment had already spread to my enemies’ ears. But why Succubi? Why not Illusionists for example?
The only thing I could think about would be the fact Succubi had a greater number of weaker races under their control.
Illusionists were still a strong race in their own accords. But a succubus girl with flirting and seducing skills? She couldn’t do anything with herself. So this race had a herd of races serving under their command.
That might be the reason. Anyway, one city was down and I had more to conquer.
[Send a detachment to the centre, there is a city called Northampton free to take]
I sent this to Hilary, shut down the message when she responded with flirting and seducing words. Chick, I like your body, not your personality to be honest.
I didn’t stand and wait. Even if my enemies tried to come and take this city, I could come back and take it again. Also my forces in the West were coming. I’d leave them to handle anything like this if ever happened.
I led my army out of the city, continuing to head East. Massachusetts wasn’t that huge of a state, not like New York at least. I didn’t fly for another hour before seeing the ruins of a big city on the horizon.
During my march towards here, I met many towns and counties. I decided to leave them all for my forces to train. I was only concerned with big cities and towns, nothing more.
I looked at the map. The city in front of me was slightly bigger than Northampton. It was called Worcester city.
The one thing to notice in this part of the continent was the presence of many small lakes scattered all over the place. Inside this city alone, I could see at least seven small lakes in size with one long one lining most of the eastern border of the city.
I stopped half a mile away, not to appreciate this nice looking scene of the lakes, but because this city didn’t show much of ruins like any other city I passed at after New York.
In fact the ruins only were stretching in a big circle surrounding the centre of the city. Aside from that, the city itself wasn’t in bad shape.
Its buildings that gave me the feeling of old English style were still standing.
“Monsters and races won’t let such a city stand without destroying it,” I muttered while activating my hawk eyes, “the only race that would be this civilised would be none other than humans.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
As I saw far with my skill, I saw large groups of humans patrolling around the central part of the city. The five gates were scattered around that part, seemingly surrounding it.
The gates kept flashing, yet the herds of races coming out weren’t alone this time. There were tons of monsters. In addition to that, these forces weren’t moving an inch towards the humans at the centre.
It was a weird situation to be honest. Either the hostile army was waiting for my arrival, or they had some sort of a deal with humans inside the city.
But from the first look I could tell humans here didn’t have enough power to state out their conditions. And since when monsters and races acted in such a way towards strong humans?
Take me for example, they tried more than once to kill and get rid of me.
“I have to go there and ask them myself,” I looked at the general view of the city while trying to find a safe way to run this battle.
If I let my boys loose, then those humans in the centre would be in grave danger. After all, my strong forces like fallen gods and dragons were used to fight without any consideration to anything else.
Their attacks would be so devastating, enough to kill and harm many humans in the centre.
“Then I’ll do it in a more direct way,” as I couldn’t handle an open way of a fight, then it would be better to go directly and cut the head of the snake.
“Come,” I looked at the dragons in the sky before adding, “just attack those around me.”
My last words were directed at the fallen gods, especially the lightning gods. Those guys were literally living killing machines walking on earth.
As they all nodded, I decided to leave the rest of my forces here. “Just wait for my shout to attack,” I gave them the last order before controlling my chariot and headed towards the first gate.
It was situated just near one of the small lakes here. The building that was now in ruins had a medium sized castle with that gate on top of it.
“Attack,” things proceeded normally like always. The dragons hit the forces on the ground with their breaths while the fallen gods tried to control their mighty attacks, limiting them to a relatively smaller area than usual.
I was using the medium form of my chariot, so my speed of flying wasn’t that superb. I didn’t want to consume lots of my stat points in the chariot for something trivial like taking down this city.
My chariot roaring heart was never void of at least fifty million stat points. I once tried to replace the stat points with the godly essence that I got from the illusionist’s powerhouse. And the result was really satisfying.
A single piece of that essence was enough to replace one million stat points. Yet I had another usage for it, which was to give energy to my fallen gods.
So I didn’t use much, and mainly focused on using my stat points.
