278 A Brutal Fight Over Brookline City
And yet I couldn’t get a clue over who they were. Despite wanting to go and ask them, I couldn’t do that for now.
The time I wasted in dealing with the pillar didn’t only give the opportunity for these humans to shine, but also gave those enemies the chance to grow up their numbers and organise their forces.
The city itself wasn’t filled with many hostile forces at the moment. After all, with the combined work of the humans and my personal forces, the enemies were mostly killed or being chased around the city.
But outside… things looked quite bad. The dragons prevented anyone from getting inside and provided any help to the enemies in the city. That left them outside, half a mile away, gathered up in a mighty formation that almost reached the shield of the three cities.
I didn’t know if giving my dragons such order was good or bad. But for now I had to deal with a grand army of hundreds of thousands, even millions stretching outside the city.
“They are waiting…” but what I didn’t get was the fact they didn’t move to attack the city even with such numbers. They could bypass my dragon attack range and get inside to help their forces using the numerical advantage. But they didn’t. And that looked a bit weird.
What were they waiting for? I asked myself this and decided to go and knock over their heads, trying to stir trouble to really see through their real scheme.
[Where are you now?] But I didn’t plan to do this alone. After all, my forces were strong indeed, but they lacked compared to such a large army. Even if I used the human forces here, this wouldn’t amount to anything compared to the size of the enemy.
But the answers I got were all void of the words I sought. Only Hilary, Angelica, and that spearhead force were getting near my place, only half an hour away or so.
[Come now towards Brookline city] I sent.
[Is it the same as Brooklyn or what?] the spearhead asked, and I couldn’t tell if he was speaking seriously or just cracking a joke.
[It’s just south of Boston and Cambridge cities] I sent, fearing they didn’t know where that small city was.
[On it] Hilary just sent this brief message and I heaved a sigh of relief. That told me she knew where the city was, or at least knew its general location from what I just sent.
Anyway, they had almost half an hour to group here with me. During this time, it was better to start testing these forces, hopefully I’d be able to find an answer to their weird behaviour.
“Come with me,” As I decided that, I recalled all my scattered forces and then resummoned them again. Leading them by my chariot in the air, my forces looked really terrifying at the moment.
“Attack with everything you got,” I took out my light weighted glaive, pointing it casually at one random direction of the enemy, “kill anything without any restraints.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
To force them to reveal their real intentions, I had to show them the scary face of my forces. So I started up by bringing out my god essences, letting my fallen gods consume these.
I also summoned twenty more of these gods, all were lightning fallen gods. I also summoned two hundred dragons, adding them to my army, giving them stats enough to level them to level one hundred.
By doing this, I simply consumed two million soul points in mere seconds. This might look like a big price to pay, but compared to my other three million souls still in my possession, this looked like a fair price to pay.
“Attack!” After doing this, I led the charge with my chariot, while leading my ground and aerial forces together in a mighty wave. The enemy was just half a mile away, a distance we all crossed in a span of a couple minutes.
The clash started fiercely from my side. The enemy forces knew I was coming at them from the first moment we moved. Yet even with their knowledge, they couldn’t do anything at all.
What was the value of knowing something without having the ability to stop it? In front of pure might and such brutality from my side, what would such losers be able to do here but scream and die?
The first wave of attacks came from my fallen gods and dragons. These two were enough to create large void gaps in the dense lines of the enemies.
And when my chariot joined with its deadly weapons, ballistae, and grenades, things became more bloody for the enemy.
Adding my soulers and other warriors here, the fight became one sided from the very beginning.
Yet as I feared, their numbers were huge enough to make all these efforts pointless at the end.
Just as the amount of them being massacred was huge, the reinforcements coming from the shield direction were enough to balance such losses.
Damn! Did they plan to just keep pouring out cannon fodders like this? Didn’t they know a limit or what?
Well, if they wanted to add more souls to my account, then I wouldn’t say no to them.
Besides, my reinforcements were also on the way here. If they thought I was fighting alone, then soon enough they’d know how terribly mistaken they were.
Yet unlike what I thought, the first reinforcements that came weren’t led by Hilary and the other two. Instead, the first human forces to come and join my fight were the ones inside the city from the start.
Their numbers weren’t that big to be honest, only amounting to a few tens of thousands. Yet they were highly organised, working in teams each composed of one thousand human fighters. And it seemed that each group was formed from smaller teams inside as well.
This made their attack very devastating to the enemy, just like any wrecking ball hitting any wall. The enemy forces crushed in front of their terrifying charge, especially they worked shoulder to shoulder with my ground forces.
