436 I Saved The Best For You
A weird race that came to my world, grabbed my people and went away… That was weird. Linking all this with what happened before from that mysterious enemy of mine, made me realise the two must be connected.
So gaining more info about this race meant gaining more intel about the true identity of that dude. Hopefully I’d be able to locate even that race’s world, hopefully I’d be able to find more about this race’s weaknesses and habits.
However my high hopes got shattered as he gave me not a single useful info about this race.
[Dude… Try to work better and harder. I need more info, more solid info about this race and world so I can help you]
[Sure, sure boss… Just leave me here for a couple of days and I’ll give you what you want]
That jerk! I had no option but to leave him out there. [Ok, I’m depending on you] I sent this encouraging words to him before closing the chat.
“What’s wrong?” Isabella asked, and everyone were waiting for my explanation.
“It seems while you were trapped, another race came in, abducted many of our humans, before vanishing again.”
“This…”
“How come this happened and we never heard of it?”
Just at this moment, Fang returned and said that.
“You tell me,” I turned to him, “how come an alien race comes here and do whatever they wanted without even get seen by anyone.”
“I…Never heard of such a thing,” Fang seemed puzzled as much as I was. That meant even the races surrounding my boys here didn’t get a glimpse on what happened.
And that left only a single theory for me in my head. This race must have come here in the gap between trapping my forces and summoning the races to surround us.
Weird… All of this seemed to be meticulously prepared beforehand. That left only that mysterious foe as a suspect.
Scary! He was a scary opponent indeed.
“Just try to get info about such incident,” I told Fang without much hope in him reaching anything, “how did it go with your paragon?”
“He didn’t say much,” Fang seemed to not be that excited about it, “he just said he will consider it.”
“He didn’t refuse at least,” I shrugged, “just give him time. Now let’s talk about your territory.”
“Mine?” he pointed to himself before adding, “I want something here. And I already have my area at the east.”
“Not enough,” I went to the map, took my glaive out and used it as a stick, “you will hold this entire region.”
I pointed at the east coast, starting from southern half of Virginia down to upper parts of Georgia. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“This…” his face showed a mix of excitement and trouble.
“What?” I turned to look fully at him, “I thought you will be excited to have such a wide area away from all the trouble here.”
“It’s just that more than half of these lands belong to other archlords of other races,” he sighed, “of course I’d love to control all this, but…”
“Don’t tell me most of them are still alive.”
“You don’t mean…”
“Dude, this fight crushed at least two full armies of all races. Tell me, how did these races gather their forces if not from areas around here?” I returned to the map before adding, “I bet most of these lands are now empty, with forces without archlords to lead them.”
“If that’s the case, then…” his eyes shown in fierce way. He got the idea and bought it.
“I’ll leave this section over to you,” I said before adding as Wryly was coming here, “if you ever needed help, just send me a message.”
“Ok,” he nodded, “shall I depart now?”
He was so eager to move out and claim his new territory.
“Move where?” Wryly just arrived and missed the talk here.
“I’m going to take all this for myself, hahaha,” Fang pointed at the area I assigned to him before adding, “and if I got a chance, I’ll also move down till the ocean.”
“If you can, you should go for Florida then,” I shrugged. After all I knew Florida was doomed to have many fierce tsunamis and volcanic eruptions during the upcoming quests.
Comparing it with New York, Florida was going to have it tough at the upcoming weeks. If that dude wanted a piece of it, then he was free to go for it.
But later on, that place would be one of the most important pieces in the new land. Rich lands of other races realms would merge with Florida, forming what my people called at my time as the golden zone.
It was rich in resources, and that made it also a hot cake in the eyes of all races. For decades, that region changed ownership over dozens of times, and endless souls were sacrificed on its altar.
Anyway, Fang was my man. He had the right to take it and I’d just control it from the shadows using him as my puppet. As for the upcoming natural disasters, I’d say he was a cunning and well informative dude. He would do just fine down there.
“What about me?” Wrly pointed to himself, and I couldn’t help but smile.
“I saved the best part for you, my dear brother in arms,” I said that and Fang hardly controlled himself from laughing.
That dude seemed to get what I wanted to say here. Great minds thought alike after all… And the dirty cunning ones indeed.
“Where? Where?” Wryly seemed to get riled up when he saw that his rival here got such a wide area.
“I left this area here for you,” I pointed at the area south of Michigan, all the way down to Kentucky, “it’s not losing in size to Fang’s, and above all it’s filled with interesting fights against all races.”
“Great!” Wryly’s eyes shone in bright light as he clenched both fists out of his happiness. Seeing him react like that made me feel little guilty, and made Fang roll his eyes in helpless way.
It seemed that only Wryly didn’t get he got played by me, yet everyone else got it.
