734 Using Terrain For My Advantage
“I need to wait until I’d get rid of those annoying bastards at my tail,” I needed time and focus to do this.
If I tried to execute it, and made a single mistake out of the pressure I was getting so far, then I’d regret it!
I had to get rid first of those annoying bastards, kill some, control some, and scare the rest to fly away from here before thinking about doing such a thing.
But first the forces attacking the basin should control more lands there before I’d do such a thing.
The situation over there wasn’t that promising. It seemed the forces stationed inside the basin were of different calibre than the ones outside!
They were strong and experienced enough to not lose their cool even under such massive pressure! Even with such a large number of forces gushing into the basin, the threads controlling lots of their forces with each passing minute, they didn’t retreat that much.
They got my admiration and respect. I decided to turn most of them into my followers, using their mightiness and even give them the chance to raise up their powers by bathing inside the blood pool of that monster.
Even if I had a technique to invent next, and lots of battles everywhere, I didn’t lose focus of my true goal here; getting that monster killed and let my boys get stronger with its blood.
So no matter how hard they tried to divert my attention, I stayed focused on that goal.
[You should have prepared lots of aerial forces and weapons to help you] Sith gave me such a useless remark, one that I already was aware of.
“I tried, but I failed as you know,” I said, defending myself against his claims.
[You should try harder!]
“I will, when I get time to do that!”
Asking me to do something I craved for all this time and failed to do? It was a useless topic to speak about.
[I have something important to do now. So good luck and hopefully you will win]
I knew he was watching me all the time. So it wasn’t that he got something important, he was going to sit back and watch the show in peace and quiet.
As he went silent, I started to focus on my next move.
Such a bunch of bastards running after me in such a way was a nuisance! I had to not go too far away or else my threads wouldn’t do their magic quite well.
So I was entrapped inside a limited space, moving in circles while evading their attacks and releasing mine.
[Those damn flying forts are damn annoying! Can’t you do anything to stop them?]
The jumper sent such complaints from time to time, and each time he got the same answer from me.
[Just ignore them and focus on expanding the area you control]
I kept sending new warriors down whenever I’d fly near their zones. They were doing great, but my forces in the basin were doing worse.
I thought about converging all my forces together and hit the basin with everything we got, but I refrained from doing so.
It was risky, quite risky actually with all those flying things around. During the past hour, I managed to destroy around a dozen of these flying forts, ending up with almost not much to change the battle here.
So I had to improvise, and the only thing I got was to use the current terrain for my advantage.
We got lots of mountains, and they got such deadly rocks. Why wouldn’t I then use their attacks and let my boys add a little touch to separate such massive rocks and let them fall over their heads?
At least if they didn’t get destroyed or damaged, they would be more cautious in following me like this!
“Listen,” as I decided to do it, I started to fly my chariot directly towards the rocky walls. I was inside the basin already, and the inner side of this colossal mountainous wall wasn’t that smooth like the outside.
“Aim your attacks at that wall at my mark,” I selected a spot away from my forces. I knew such rocks falling wouldn’t differentiate between anything. So if they failed to hit the forts and islands flying after me, they’d at least create damage to the forces near mine.
“Now!” As I got closer to that wall, the attacks coming from behind started to fall over it and create little damage. Then my fallen gods worked their magic and started to hit the wall with their destructive power.
Many rocks started to fall freely, but they were still far from the direction of the enemy. “Move… Please…” I didn’t depend entirely on gravity and dreams to get the rocks over the islands and forts behind me.
I abruptly shifted the direction of my chariot to fly parallel to the walls before using my chariot pulse wave attack. The wave moved, pushing the heavy rocks and sending them flying away.
“It works!”
Most of the rocks followed my pulse wave direction, at least flying for hundreds of metres with such momentum, enough to turn them into strong projectiles.
They crashed over the shields of these forts and islands. The forts took the worst hits, as their shields were weaker than the islands and they already suffered lots of damage thanks to my boys.
So many of these forts had their shields destroyed, and many got their towers smashed with a large pile of flying big rocks.
“Attack!” and at this moment, I shifted the attack of my boys over the direction of the severely damaged forts.
The islands did better. Their shields could sustain my boys’ attack so far. During this pursuit, the enemy focused their islands in the forefront most of the time, absorbing the attacks coming from my boys and acting as the fort’s shields.
But now? The rocks hit them in such large fashion, reaching even the furthest forts and islands at the back. The damage the forts took was enough to deprive many of their shields.
Not to mention such a sudden attack ruined their tight and perfect formation, letting them try to evade more rocks coming at all costs.
