767 Just Wait For One More Hour
The aquatic monsters had lots of forces on top of their backs. And as the jumper said, the little turtle wasn’t alone enough.
The first thought I had was to unleash its full skills and let it fight using the deadly skills. However I refrained from doing this when I thought about the more important battle at the centre.
“I have to do something,” the only way to turn the tide of this fight over was by using my technique. They brought such a massive aquatic army with forces over the monsters’ backs, and that was like a paradise for my technique.
And my technique wasn’t the old one I always had, it was the scary evolved version of it.
“Time to change the tide here,” I coldly said while releasing the threads and thorns loose all over the place.
The forces that got here weren’t like those elites I fought before. An elite would take one up to two minutes in front of my evolved technique.
Then against those weaker forces and monsters, it needed just a few tens of seconds to take control of them, and even many got controlled in a much shorter duration than this.
In the first hour, I controlled enough forces to send them to help my little turtle. The turtle seemed to take the task of stopping the influx of forces from the ocean to the ground.
While the jumper took charge of dealing with the forces that got off shore.
That made this fight stretch over such vast space, and it even reached the area of the big gulf.
However the two couldn’t get near it to control everything there.
The turtle allowed for a big part of his forces to embark over its back, fighting the monsters and races over them.
But when I started to let my controlled beasts and races join the fight, things started to shift slowly. During the next ten hours, we finally managed to clear the ocean forces, and started to crawl over the gulf.
This didn’t just come from my controlled forces, but thanks to me going down there at different times, and getting all the portals I could reach destroyed before retreating fast.
The speed of my chariot in water wasn’t as much as over the ground. But it was much faster than before at least.
[You can leave this zone for us and go to help the others] As the fight reached such a stage, the jumper sent in a rare moment of showing his support to others.
During these ten hours, Lily and the forces there had it worse! According to her words, out of the vast tens of millions we had before, we now had less than ten!
And many of them were exhausted, wounded, and more important than all lost hope of winning.
Morale was a very important thing in any fight. However even if we were losing at that battle, we were winning here.
The pressure placed by my forces over the central and most vital region of the capital ended up with relieving pressure over here.
They didn’t send reinforcements here except for a few times and they all got controlled by me. So they stopped sending anything since their failures, and kept focusing on winning the defensive battle at their central zone.
[Can you handle things here?] I asked. After all, I depended on the little turtle to devastate the central zone with its scary skills.
If they’d get lots of time to clear the battle here, then I’d better stay and help.
[You already controlled millions of these monsters and races. They can handle the situation here with the our help until you get done from that other battle]
Sigh! He got it all wrong then. As I feared, he thought his task with my little turtle was to keep the monsters here at bay.
[Dude… I need that turtle in that war]
[No way! Without its help and support, I won’t be able to hold them back anymore]
So be it.
[Then retreat with me]
[What?]
[Leave this fight for now. Let’s go to the central zone and clear it first. There lies the main generals and leaders of these forces. Taking them down will conclude everything]
[Hmm… But a retreat will let my forces suffer more casualties]
[That doesn’t matter anymore] he was terrified of my later on comments at his poor performance here, [All of our armies here lost lots of their forces already]
[I see… Ok, I’ll issue the order now]
[Not now!] I had to stop him, [Just wait for one more hour]
[What for? Are you going to help them back there first?]
[That’s one, and there is another reason…]
[What? Can’t you just say it directly? Will you die if you don’t?]
[Just guess it on your own] I laughed, closing the chat while he rained on me with curses and harsh comments.
paɴᴅᴀ ɴ<0,>ᴠ,ᴇʟ In one hour, everything here would change.
As I closed the chat, I left this region and went towards the nearby central one. There wasn’t much distance between the gulf region and that central one.
Once I went there, I got to see how bad the situation there really was.
My forces had to surround the walls and the forts of the enemy to look for a weak spot to crack. But they ended up losing every single fight, losing damn badly here.
This way there was really no hope to do anything.
[Give the order to gather up at my chariot] I sent this over to Lily.
[You are already here? Thank God! I thought we didn’t have more than few hours before getting all exterminated]
[Don’t say such ugly things. I’m here, and I’m going to change this situation]
[Even if you did, the forces we got are fewer than the enemy. They called forth to many forces, and all are elites and strong. Even warriors like yours came out in large batches, and they caused serious troubles for me and others]
[Just send everyone over, and leave the rest to me] I closed the chat while muttering, “We got to survive for one more hour, to prepare the setting for the upcoming surprise.”
