603 Forming A Flying Army Of Monsters
As I boarded the chariot, I started to closely check the situation of the up front battle.
The enemy was doing all great using his flying monsters squad. They managed to push back any forces of mine, soulers or races, using their aerial advantage.
But such a thing was going to end right now.
“Listen up,” I said, speaking to my fallen angels, dragons, krakens, monsters, and other races that were coming out from the lake, “you focus on the ground monsters, and leave those annoying flies to me.”
*Roar!*
The loudest response came from my dragons. They roared while others yelled and issued their war cries. As for my fallen gods, they simply kept their silence, turned to focus on the battle up front, selecting their targets.
“Leave those pillars to me, crush any portal, and kill any enemy… Attack!”
I took out my glaive and pointed towards the front with my left hand. As for my right hand, it worked fast to perform the first technique of mine.
Those aerial monsters… Those one hundred thousand or more of them… They were going to be all mine!
I timed the attacks together, to let my threads spread in such an immense amount towards the distant flying monsters while my ground forces attacked.
The fallen gods were really scary! Each single attack of these dudes cleared a big area of the monsters. Even with the high influx coming from all the portals far behind, the monsters couldn’t keep up with their attacks.
*Roar!*
As I got closer, I gotta see these flying monsters clearly. They were a hybrid kind of flying beasts, mixing tigers with eagles, with claws so sharp and mighty like they belonged to bears.
Their bodies weren’t as huge as the aquatic monsters from before, but they were bigger than any ground monster.
They looked fierce! Especially with that horn coming out from the middle of their big skulls. I was glad that the bastard selected such a hybrid kind of monster to take part in this battle.
Like this, I’d gain a stronger breed of flying monsters. They used long ranged attacks, mainly by waving their claws or using their roars. But unlike my dragons, these monsters were only wind based attacking beasts.
That wasn’t bad. After all they managed by all these wind attacks to kill and stop my forces from progressing forward easily.
And that would stop right now.
As my boys started their brutal attack over the ground forces, the threads of mine flew like thrown daggers towards these flying monsters.
In return, they shifted their attacks over my chariot. With my chariot’s shield, they had zero chance at getting to me.
As for my threads, there was nothing here to stop them. They attacked and penetrated hundreds of these big flying beasts’ bodies.
Unlike the easily controlled aquatic monsters from earlier, these flying monsters showed a fierce resistance to my control.
They were hybrid monsters after all, one of the fiercest monsters in the entire monster grading system.
Their mental strength was much higher than any normal monster. And they weren’t distracted by their desires or bloodlust. So I took roughly five minutes to control the first eight hundred monsters of mine.
[Keep attacking me!]
And the first order I gave them was as such. Prior to this, I used to turn monsters I controlled over their surrounding ones. However this tactic would end up with many losses.
It was a result I didn’t want to see.
So instead of that, I kept them attacking my chariot without batting an eye. What was the use of their attacks anyway? Against my sturdy shield, they held no chance at breaking through it.
Once these monsters got controlled, more threads gushed out. I also took another batch of blue grade bones and started to absorb and channel their energy towards my technique.
I wanted to expand the reach of my threads in quantity and quality, to take control over the entire flying monster army in the shortest span of time.
At the first half an hour, things went smoothly like I wanted. My chariot shielded the attacks from all these flying beasts, allowing my ground forces to finally show their worth.
They pushed the frontline fast, killing anything that stood in their path without any hesitation or mercy.
As for my fallen gods, they kept clearing areas and gradually started to focus over the areas near the pillars.
These folks fought by my side for long enough to start adapting to my fighting tactics. If I was leading them right now with my full attention, I’d have given them the same order.
Such a change in the ground battle seemed to alarm the enemy of mine. After the first half of an hour, the flying monsters started to show a development.
They started to fly away all of sudden, moving away from my chariot and the reach of my threads.
They broke out in different groups, each containing at least five hundred monsters. Once they did so, they flew lower and started raining their wind attacks over my ground forces.
However, the bastards moved a little late. When he gave such an order, out of the initial plus one hundred thousand monsters here, only less than thirty thousand responded to his call.
Yet even with such a small number going away from my threads, I didn’t give any order to hunt them down.
I said I’d take all of them into my custody, and I would!
So instead of ordering my forces around to aim at these flying beasts, I left my dragons, flying monsters, fallen gods, and the strong weapons on my chariot to attack the ground monster.
As for me, I moved my chariot around, chasing after those monsters. At the same time, I limited the number of threads coming out to be only a thousand.
In return for that, I added all the extra energy to lengthen these threads and enhance their agility. Like this, I didn’t need to get so close to those fast flying beasts.
I focused mainly on getting closer, and left the rest for my threads.
