345 Reaching Charleston City
As things reached this point, I decided to let them think among themselves for now. I skipped all the useless messages coming from my channel about how these gods were feeling and interacting, and opened the feeds of each of my teammates.
The first one to check was the jumper. Despite him being so mean and rude at most of times, he was still the most powerful human in my elite force.
Besides, he was the one who had a higher cultivation, even than Hilary.
The moment the screen showed what was happening at his end, I couldn’t help but suck in a cold air of breath.
“Damn! This… It’s really bad!”
In front of me I saw that jumper fighting with everything he got. Holding one heavy broadsword and a big oval shaped bronze shield, he was fighting like crazy in the middle of a sea of enemies.
These enemies were humans, looking exactly like humans of my Earth. But they weren’t like us. Each single one of them wasn’t only stronger in stat points as it was clear from their mighty attacks, they also had good gears and high cultivation.
Just seeing the jumper pouring in every single ounce of his strength to just keep being pushed back was a clear proof of that. These humans… They were all with cultivation bases.
How absurd was this? Even back in my time before coming here, humans didn’t find a solution to unlock the mysteries of cultivation for such a large number to use.
A single hit from any of these humans was enough to push the jumper ten metres back. On the other side, the jumper tried his best to kill them, succeeding at that from time to time.
During my flight in my chariot’s highest speed for the next three hours, I kept watching the fights all my team members had.
They couldn’t do anything but keep retreating. Even when they came to this big city of Charleston, they were barely able to hold back the enemies using the help of the castles and emblems.
The humans attacking us were really fierce. Not only that, but they looked very experienced and had a great general without doubt.
The jumper and Hilary were strong, but the one who was really threatening to these enemies weren’t any one of these two.
Surprisingly it was the spearhead!
That dude who kept trying to get the heart of Isabella most of the time was the only real threat over these humans with his superb ability.
So the humans started to focus on him. Even if his ability was able to deprive them from their superiority, he was alone. Against such a large number of enemies, his life was this close to be crushed more than five times during these three hours.
If not for the fierceness of Isabella, reminding me of the big stories I heard about her from the old man before coming here, the spearhead would be long dead.
For the first time, I felt appreciative of the love bond developing between these two. If not for that, the real gem hidden deep inside Isabella wouldn’t have shown its worth here. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
I didn’t know if with my presence and great achievement I hindered many great talents like hers, but from this war I could tell no matter what, stars were destined to shine eventually even in the darkest skies.
But even with that, the numbers we lost were simply terrifying! Those enemies were really overbearing and relentless. They acted in all cunning and vicious ways to kill as many as we had.
I estimated that during these few hours I watched this fight, we lost close to fifty thousand of our forces. And that was just when we had the support of the city on our backs!
How much did we lose? I was worried about asking anyone about this. But from what I saw, I knew what I had to do.
Using normal forces wouldn’t work. These enemies need much stronger forces to stop them. Out of my private army, I doubted that soulers would be much of help here.
But when considering the monsters from Albany city, my fallen gods, and big dragons, I felt we got a chance to stop them.
Even if it wasn’t a good chance, at least we could fight back.
“I can’t let them fight with me,” I decided as I got closer to Charleston city. Even if I had strong forces, the rest of my forces were just this fragile to depend upon.
Joining this fight must be done with one purpose in mind, shifting all these humans away from my forces. They were fighting constantly and running all the past days non-stop.
They were exhausted, wounded and depleted. They needed time to rest and recuperate. Or else even if I managed to drive those humans back, I’d end up with broken forces not able to do anything anymore in this war.
Call me crazy, but even in such dire situations I was still thinking about getting a good piece of the central cake. I wouldn’t succumb to such pressure and retreat.
After all, Fang and Wryly were fighting as hard as they could and waiting for my return.
So what if Hectors brought such strong humans here? We were also humans, and we weren’t that weak.
I’d show everyone here how strong humans really were. Even in such situations, we wouldn’t just accept defeat.
[I’m coming] I sent this to all of my teammates, [Be ready to rest. I’ll take the responsibility of this war now]
“Come forth!” without even waiting for their response, I started using all my stored souls and summoned all the kinds of fallen gods I could find. Not only that, I also spent almost one third of my reserve from the god essence for all of my fallen gods.
I also made sure to summon more dragons. I didn’t forget the new flying monsters I gained from the last trip. I summoned my warriors to the chariot and let them take control of all the weapons.
