303 Wolf
I might build a town underneath these waters, or perhaps build a hidden and secret lap for my intelligent minds to work in secrecy and develop the mighty weapons for my army.
This place was really special. And I planned to use it later on if possible. But for now I had to go back up and take full control over the three cities.
This fight… It was my win after all. I started with a backfoot, losing the initiative and being deprived of my precious cities.
But now I ended up reclaiming them, having such a mighty shield to watch over my future kingdom capital for good.
As for the forces here, they weren’t that bad either. Apart from those experienced cult people, the rest just got baptised by the fire of this deadly battle.
They’d continue growing, and soon enough I might find good seedings in them to nourish and become mighty generals in the future.
I got out of the river, looked at the status of the battle here. The cities were still covered with the shield lights, with certain areas being showered with the pillar lights more than others.
These areas would be where the three races held their forces. I didn’t have any mercy towards these. After all in this battle, every race was on his own side.
And my future capital couldn’t have any race other than humans in it.
“Go and help them,” as I got out from the river, I saw my forces were waiting for me there.
The influx of new monsters was stopped by the sealing of all the gates. So they had no more enemies in this region to kill.
As for other human forces, they were smart and had their own leaders to lead them away and keep fighting.
I pointed my glaive towards several spots, and the next moment the soulers flashed fast, heading directly towards these regions.
The soulers might be weak against the aquatic monsters for a reason I didn’t know. But against any other race here, they were deadly.
I knew they would be enough to claim the victory and clear up the three cities. But I still flew with my chariot around, taking a wide tour of the entire place.
After all I knew this fight was done for. But there was still someone hidden in the shadows, and I needed to lure that dude out.
It was the one who protected the three cities’ buildings till now. No matter how deadly the battles were, no matter what kind of a weapon used, even my shield’s mighty pillars of light attacks, the city’s buildings kept standing erect.
There was not much harm anywhere around the cities considering the buildings. One could see thick clouds of dark smoke rising up from different places here, but you couldn’t see any demolished buildings at all.
The lack of the ruins I always saw in any city before was weird. Someone was standing up and protecting the cities. I didn’t know who he was, and so I couldn’t tell his agenda. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
From the surface, that dude might be on my side, on the human side. But without truly knowing his identity and meeting him up in person, I couldn’t be that sure either.
Sometimes things on the surface would be fake, and the essence of anyone couldn’t be told by the exteriors.
But no matter how long I flew, even after the end of this battle, that dude didn’t show himself at all.
What? Don’t tell me he was afraid!
Well… I had to put down such a task for now. The dragons I sent a long time ago finally appeared from a distance. They carried ten people on their backs, the leaders of the human forces here.
As for that dude… If he decided to not show himself up, then what was there for me to do about this? Nothing!
“Welcome,” I said while the ten people jumped off the backs of my dragons. From the look over their faces, I didn’t need to say anything to lure them in.
After all they saw my might, my real power, or part of it. I looked at the ten faces, eight men and two women, while feeling their true awe and admiration.
“Sir, are you Hye from New York city?”
The first to speak was the biggest of them. He wasn’t that much taller than me, but his body was fed up with muscles.
That dude must be a workout addict before the apocalypse. “It’s me,” I nodded, “what’s your name? Are you one of the military?”
“I’m related to the military,” he extended his arm and I shook his hand, “I’m Wolf. My name isn’t that of course, but it’s what I got when I was a kid.”
A talkative dude… Terrific!
“That’s cool, Wolf,” I said, trying to stop him but it seemed he was too excited to be stopped.
He kept talking and talking, speaking about how he heard about me from the rumours, then saw my broadcasted video, before he got the order to come here and bring everything with him from his company.
He was an ex-military guy who had an injury at one of the big rounds in the Middle east. He had to leave the battlefield, something he considered like a death sentence for him.
Yet when he got the offer to work in such a big military contractor company, he decided to give it a go. According to his words, the toys the guys with white coats kept developing were really amusing and fun for him.
Dude… I didn’t ask about your life story or was interested in hearing it! He even didn’t give me the name of his company yet!
“Ok ok,” I had to stop this talking machine from adding more noise to the place, “just breathe and tell me what defence company you are from?”
“Defence? Boss, we are making weapons to kill, not toys to defend! I always said this word is misleading but…”
Damn me! That dude was really unstoppable!
Should I kill him to enjoy a moment of silence or what?
