510 Winning War
So a single wave of attack was able to destroy dozens of these. I started to move slowly while kiting the enemy side bit by bit.
The situation started to be slightly stabilised enough for me to use my hawk eye skill.
Just seeing the brutal and chaotic situation inside made me inwardly sigh. This blow… It wasn’t any less than the illusion my forces got before.
Yet when I watched more, I noticed the presence of the Hector forces I claimed before. They were all led by Lily, and it was clear among all my forces; they were the most outstanding ones.
They fought brutally without much struggle like my humans, worked in such great teamwork to make me feel envious.
I wanted my humans to move and fight in such synchrony. I knew such team work wouldn’t be acquired from a single day of training. They must have been honed since their early days in their lives to be fighters.
And what fierce fighters they were!
Sigh! Even the forces trained by Selvators and Berserkers didn’t even come close.
Next to them were the forces of my recently acquired advanced humans and Bulltors. They were fighting aggressively, chaotically, yet causing deep impact on the entire battlefield.
If they got the same team work like these bunch of Hectors, they would be a really terrifying force.
So I had to place them with Hectors, make them learn from them. Also I had the deal with Selvators and Fang. Yet when seeing those Hectors, I could only sigh for the big difference between the two sides.
Gradually I started to see my team. Hilary was fiercely fighting, using the advantage of numbers and terrain inside the city for her favour alongside the emblems and castles.
I was sure if not for these, the fight here would be already over. From the shape of it, they must have been fighting for long hours.
Did that bastard wait until I finished from the monster to move? Did he expect me to fall there? Or did he wait until I’d lower my guard by the win, which was exactly what happened?
Damn! What a hard and annoying foe to deal with!
One day… One day he would slip and fall under my hands. And I swear this time I wouldn’t let him escape or even survive!
[Are you alright?] I kept sending such messages to the team and Hilary. But no matter how I sent, no matter how much I killed, there was no response.
It seemed the thing that the bastard used to seal this place wasn’t related to the portals. Even after the last portal fell after an entire day of fighting, I never got a response from any of them.
The fight kept going brutally inside and outside the capital during this time. The size of enemies here was simply too much. But I didn’t stop recruiting them as much as I could. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
In the end we won this fight, after paying a big price indeed. The price we paid was mostly before I arrived.
I stood high in the air, overseeing most of my capital and lands around it. The piles of corpses and rivers of blood that formed even lakes at many parts were enough evidence to tell about the course of this war.
But… It ended… At last!
“Boss! Boss! They came out of nowhere!” The first to come to me was the spearhead. He ran, shouted in such a way, while his face was covered in dirt and blood.
That dude did a great job during this fight. I saw him using his ability all the time, to the max, trying to downgrade the strength of the enemies around him and his forces.
Thanks to that, the losses of his side weren’t that much. In fact his side kept fighting brutally thanks to his ability, overcoming their enemies and moving around like cavalry.
They helped in any situation and place that was overwhelmed with enemies. No matter how high or strong his foes were, with his ability they held no chance at all.
“Come on board,” I lowered my chariot and landed it on the ground, “but let your remaining forces gather up the corpses. Humans will be properly buried. Others will get fired at their end.”
“Right now?!!” Leo was the second to arrive, “we just… our forces…”
I knew what he wanted to say. The forces were all exhausted mentally and physically. But doing such a thing was a must. This would make them recall this day and such losses.
Fighting a bitter battle was common in such a stage of the apocalypse. And it looked like our recent battles were just as intense as this one.
So I feared for them to get used to it, get used to losing their friends and people. This wasn’t something good for humans, getting used to such coldness and harshness wasn’t bad, but not feeling anything towards it was bad.
Making them do it when they were this tired would let them link what happened here and carve it deeply in their minds. They would never forget what happened here, never forget the fall of their friends and people.
Humans… We should fight as hard as we could, and we should treasure the dead of ours like they were heroes.
Recalling such a thing all the time would drive them to work harder to get stronger.
“Just do it,” I rolled my eyes. If they were tired, then I was also the same, or even much more than them.
I jumped from one brutal fight to another, not having even a single moment of rest.
“Listen to boss,” Hilary came and hit the two on the back of their heads like she was reprimanding them, “don’t delay any longer or else you’ll end up with more work.”
“Y… Yes, ma’am,” the two said in such a tone that told me they suffered under her hands.
But that wasn’t a thing for me to comment on.
