469 Going To Kentucky
I knew Fang’s net of connections was severed with what happened to him. So he wasn’t sure about what was going on, and it was just great for him to get a wimp about the paragons location and current movements.
“What are you going to do?” Isac was curious as he looked in interest. Also the jumper was also feeling the same.
That cold jerk was covering up his face all the time, so it was hard to tell. But through the faint glint in his eyes, I could tell he was also asking the same question to himself.
“I’m going to play them in their own game and beat them,” I evilly grinned, opened my profile page and from it I selected the contract icon.
There I found a very large list of names with races beside each name. They were all the people I had a loyalty contract with.
It was arranged per the recently added races. However there was an option to select an entire race, and I didn’t hesitate to select from that shorter list the monster race.
As I did that, all the monsters I recently gained were marked. I then selected to give them an order, and it was a simple one.
“Gather up at Kentucky Frankfort,” I gave this order while not knowing if these monsters would find this place or not.
But I was sure the system would give them instructions, forcing them to come to that place.
“Kentucky?!” the jumper looked in doubt at me, “are we going south again?”
“Our target is Texas baby, so it’s the closest place of my kingdom to there,” I closed the profile page, went to the edge of the chariot and watched the monsters down below.
Like they were grabbed by magnet, all the monsters shifted their attention towards a certain direction then ventured with everything they got towards there.
“That…” Isac came to stand by my side with the jumper standing on the other, “you are going to use them?” he pointed down below, while asking in surprise.
“They are already using monsters in this quest to safeguard themselves,” I shrugged, “as if monsters can stop me.”
“But they are going to have many portals by their side this way,” Isac seemed to read through the minds of the other paragons. Of course the one to know you best was your fiercest rival.
Even in the same race, all the paragons here were just candidates to be the ruling paragon of their races.
Their enemies weren’t just other paragons of rival races, but also the paragons in the same race. “I’m going to crush anything they have,” I firmly said, “so don’t worry about that. But… It’s the last chance for you to return to the capital.”
I didn’t even look at him this time, as he had to make this final call on himself without pressure.
“I’ll handle it,” he said in a strong tone that told me he already accepted such fate, “just make sure to let none live.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Oh, quite fierce you are…” I turned to look at him and he laughed in a way that suited a girl not a boy.
“They are my rivals. If I was pushed out of the contest, then none shall be there to get the final prize, right?”
“A fierce one, I like you now, hahaha!” The jumper seemed to be amused by what Isac said, making the two of us look in doubt towards him. “What? I just like cold hearted people, that’s all,” he shrugged, explaining himself by saying that.
“Ok, then we are going to Frankfort,” I started controlling my chariot as I headed south west. It wasn’t the first time for me to go there, so I knew the way.
Along the journey, all three of us kept watching the movements of the monsters down below. Aside from my monsters, not a single life was presented there.
Even we met cities and towns void of people. Only when we went near Frankfort, we saw a few races trying to sneak into my kingdom.
They were trying to take advantage of the emptiness in all towns and cities here. My forces and Wryly were stationed up north. As for Fang, I was sure that bastard was recalling his troops and focusing them around the far south.
The fate of these races was expected. Any race found was killed at the spot. They didn’t even stand a chance, not even with the help of emblems and castles in the towns and cities.
As I reached Frankfort, I found my monsters still flocking from everywhere. Their numbers were in millions, and I expected more than that.
The sky was filled with many flying monsters, looking much fiercer and bigger than before. The aquatic monsters also showed much improvement, leaving the ground monsters behind in such regard.
I knew the ground monsters didn’t find much prey to feast on. With most of my monster army bulk being ground monsters, it was hard to satisfy all their needs.
But that was soon going to change.
“Aren’t we going to move out now?” After waiting for three hours, the world down below was covered by densely packed monsters.
The sky was already dim, but for some reason it looked dimmer because of the presence of such a number of flying monsters.
I turned Isac and grinned. “We will wait for one more hour then move.”
“Aren’t these… enough?!!” he seemed baffled by my answer. In his eyes, all the land here was covered by these monsters till the horizon.
In each direction you could see tons of monsters standing idle and doing nothing but waiting… Waiting for me to give the order.
“Just wait a little bit, those at the far north are still coming here,” I knew even if the place here looked full, more monsters were still pouring from the north.
I didn’t want to just start a small war that would last for a long time. I wanted a decisive battle, one that would let me walk through all the lands to Texas without stopping at all.
