758 Getting Such A Warm Welcoming Party!
I got the location of the capital from the jumper. It was roughly three hundred miles to the north east from my current place. Such a distance would take roughly five hours from me to cover.
Midway though I stopped, went back to the second Earth world and informed Lily of what was going to happen.
“So we are going to fight in a day, right?”
It was two and half hours on Earth, but for her it would take more than a single day.
“Be prepared, wait for the portals to open,” I said before turning my eyes towards the far away little turtle which was running as fast as it could to come towards me.
“And tell that lazy turtle to get ready. If he didn’t perform well there, if anyone didn’t perform well, I’d punish them greatly for that.”
“Got it!”
I said my last words in such a fierce and cold tone. This fight didn’t have any room for errors or slacking from anyone.
It wasn’t just about putting their armies in an unfavourable situation, but it would risk me losing this entire war.
I was doing just great so far. All I needed to do now was to crush the walls of this capital, and control it in a bolt of lightning attack.
p<ᴀɴᴅ>ᴀ-ɴ0ᴠᴇʟ、ᴄᴏᴍ If they called forth such useless forces then that meant they had other strong forces elsewhere, and needed time to call them here.
I just hoped by the time of my arrival, they wouldn’t have arrived.
My best guess? These forces were scattered at other regions of this continent for defence. Or they might be on other continents, and that meant they asked for the help from other royals.
The least option would be calling back the forces stopping my armies in the south.
[Advance!] It was time for my armies stationed idly all this time near my capital to start their move.
I wasn’t planning to just win this war using my recently trained forces. As they got their elites, I also got mine.
And this would also prevent any forces back there from leaving to aid the capital.
Just in less than one hour, I started to spot the large troops being called towards the capital. I didn’t hesitate to use my technique to start controlling them while advancing, amassing a new army here.
“They are really weak,” this became obvious to me by the time needed to control each one. The standard Hector soldier would take me two minutes to control.
The elites would take five minutes. As for these forces here, they only needed one minute at most to get controlled.
“Did they summon the normal people there to die as fodder?!!” I was taken back by this finding. There was no other explanation but this.
These folks… They weren’t soldiers, they were common people!
“Don’t blame me for throwing you directly in such a hellish fight. It’s your cowardly leaders who did this to you, not me,” I shrugged while keeping my control over all of them.
Each batch getting under control would infect the others, while I’d enforce them to sign the contracts before relieving my threads from the task of controlling them.
I kept doing this and that wouldn’t match my chariot’s insane advancement speed. So I had to slow down, taking almost three hours to cover a distance needing only one.
At the last hour, I started my final preparations by using my sacrifice ability.
My last group of enhancements expired during my stay back at the second Earth world. So I had to reactivate them, while adding the magical effect.
And this time I added two magical effects directly, while assigning one randomly as well to test this thing.
“Interesting…” I held my glaive and watched it as its blade and shaft was covered in thick layers of dancing arcs of lightning and deep orange fire.
Lightning and fire… These were the two magical effects I selected. As for the randomly selected one for me, it was earth.
It added much weight to each hit, adding brutal strength for my glaive in addition to its originally insane strength and weight.
I haven’t put it to the test yet. But soon I’d do that.
I wasn’t that far off the capital. But I didn’t waste my time here to activate these effects.
I went back to the second Earth world and spent lots of hours there to get everything ready before returning back.
This was the optimum thing for me to do.
“Attack!”
“Kill him!”
“Shoot him down!”
But once I got out, I found lots of forces fighting the ones I controlled before. These enemies didn’t look anything like the weak forces I controlled so far.
They were the elites! The mighty guards of the capital.
And they came in such a big array, enough to form an army of a few hundreds of thousand forces.
They didn’t come alone. They brought many weapons, seemingly designed to shoot aerial targets just like my chariot.
*Boom!*
But what was my chariot? It wasn’t just your normal aerial chariot.
The attacks that landed fiercely and swiftly over my chariot rumbled all over the place. My sight was blocked by thick layers of different colours of fire that erupted from different explosives.
They came prepared, used such violent explosions to attack me. But what was the end result? After the continuous attack for half an hour, my shield trembled faintly from time to time.
Nothing more!
I didn’t stand idle during this time. In fact they just brought such a mighty army for me to capture. I stood silent, doing nothing but taking hits until I finally controlled most of these forces down below.
“Attack!” with a simple word of mine, the entire situation turned upside down just like that! The attacks all ceased at the same time, while the cries of shock, pain, and death filled the entire world.
When I got my vision back, I was surprised to see the initial few hundred thousands turn into millions.
