608 I Have A Plan
“I hope you are just putting a fake front here,” I said, gritting on my teeth, “I just hope you know what you did wrong and will work on it.”
“…”
He didn’t answer me and I could only sigh. His arrogance… It was his biggest weakness.
“What are we going to do here?” he jumped over this point so damn fast, “you know we have another battle coming soon.”
“This son of b*tch used such a wild card to trap us here,” I narrowed my eyes before adding, “however it’s not a big deal! We still have time to get out of here. Besides, I have my staff ready to take us wherever I want.”
“Will we throw away this city? This place? This region?”
“Don’t give me that look,” I rolled my eyes when I saw the glaring look in his eyes, “you didn’t do your work properly and that comes with a price.”
“Let’s do our best to crush them then,” he pointed at the tamed worms inside the city, “you did it before, and can do it again, right?”
“That’s what I plan to do,” I slowly nodded, “but that needs the stage to be prepared first.”
“What do you mean?”
“You will see,” I kept looking around and examined the current arrangement of the enemy forces.
The enemy now had to depend on the big portal accompanying the big pillar far away. The monsters from before swarmed this region, while the scary worm monsters vanished like they never existed.
That was their scariest part, they would vanish without a trace, despite being so damn close by.
Lowering one’s guard for even a second would bring death to anyone, no matter who he was.
But there was something that bastard out there would fail to control, something that no one could control; the monstrous nature.
And that was what I planned to use here to get rid of this fierce encirclement.
“What shall I do?”
“You?” I turned to the jumper with one eyebrow raised, “you shall stay here. Enough of the mess you caused. Let me go out there and clean this mess for you.”
“No way!” he grabbed my arm in such a fierce way, letting me glare back at him, “let me help! I won’t sit back and watch you do all this alone.”
“You… You still don’t know how bad our current situation is,” I used the immense strength of my right arm and shrugged him away, “this fight is way above your current abilities. Don’t think about it, this is final! Just stay on the side and think about a way to counter these worms for later fights.”
He was about to interrupt me when I stopped him by raising my right palm in his face.
“Are you saying…”
“Yes, we will face these worms a lot, especially during the upcoming battle and during the fourth quest.”
“Damn!” he started to get the magnitude of this situation. He thought it was a simple battle, but I knew it was a declaration of an upgrade for all the upcoming battles.
Gaining first hand experience was important. So even if he sat back and did nothing, in fact he was doing something important.
He had to get used to the pattern of these monsters, how they’d appear, how they’d fight, and think of a way to kill them.
This couldn’t be summed up as doing nothing!
“Are you going to act now?”
“Can you stop pestering me? Let me think,” I rolled my eyes and even went to the other side of the chariot.
I wasn’t getting away from him. I was just trying to check the remaining forces in the city.
I controlled my chariot and slowly flew around. The forces remaining were a mixture from the old monsters I gained from the third quest, the monsters I gained from here, and the races I brought.
As for all my warriors and my own forces, they were called back and were inside my inventory, safe and sound.
This fight… I lost it big here. Luckily none of my main forces got lost, except for the newly acquired flying monsters.
“This isn’t enough,” I could use all of these forces, except the aquatic and aerial ones. These two were indispensable for me. I should work hard at further expanding them, not throwing them like weeds in a fire.
So, I had to get more forces here and I got nothing to lose when using those useless races.
[Send fifty millions here… But one million at a time]
[You mean send them in batches?]
[No, just send one group and wait for me to ask for another]
[Ok]
Detroit was a big city, but having more than a few millions in it would be too much. So I had to use it this way. Also I didn’t plan on going out there and crushing all the monsters in one fell swoop.
I knew this would take time, many attempts, and lots of losses.
Yet in the end, that bastard wouldn’t be able to stop what I was going to do.
*Flash!*
Few portals flashed fast all over the city, bringing out many races. When I saw these, I realised that I forgot to tell her something.
[Leave any aquatic and aerial races behind in next batches]
[Got it!]
She sent a few aquatic races here. I didn’t know if there were any aerial races or not, but if there were, then they should be put aside with the aquatic ones.
“Bringing more fodders?” The jumper came to my side as he overlooked the newly arrived races.
I started signing their contracts in batches while nodding. “We need fodders, lots of them actually.”
“Are they going to be enough?”
“Speaking as if you know what I’m going to do here.”
“You will push them forward while leading the army from behind to kill all monsters.”
“Wrong!” I shook my head.
“Then…”
“Wait and you will see,” I focused on signing contracts first before taking a small tour around.
