Chapter 1041 A Capable General Is Found
“Oh, it’s the same here as well!” and as I went to the next land, I found a similar situation there.
Large army was fighting against mine, trying to stop them from stepping inside this land.
“It’s also like the other two,” and when I went to the third land, I found a similar thing there.
So three out of the remaining six were just the same. And that made me sigh.
These lords were just burning their forces for nothing. Why did none of them ever wonder about surrendering to me?
I made sure to remain at each battlefield for five to ten minutes each. Yet none came or shouted, asking for negotiations.
Did they think they were just biding time for their forces hitting my land to do their job? Didn’t the news reach them or what?
I realised while going to the fourth land that by my forces’ arrival and the outbreak of such brutal fights, the news coming here from my land got blocked.
These lords were kept in the dark, not knowing what they were doing was simply futile.
They were thinking they were biding their time, and that was why they kept pouring out such useless fodders to stop the inevitable.
Sigh! Just by lacking the right intel, the situation turned upside down for them. Not to mention they missed their chance of surviving this by surrendering.
“Oh, a new change,” and just as I arrived at the fourth territory, I found out a new situation.
That lord did have an army defending his land, but this one was quite small, much smaller than the other three I met.
And these forces were all elites, not the weaklings others were using.
“Hmm… So are you trying to fight against mine using good soldiers or… You still got most of your forces intact?”
I stood high in the air, overlooking the battle that spanned for a few miles inside the land of this lord.
If it was the former, then he was smart to use strong forces and buy longer time like this. However, doing it without summoning fodders was a mistake.
And if it was the latter, then it would be bad news for me. If he got most of his forces intact, then it would be dangerous to leave this lord alive.
Who knew if he heard what happened back at my lands or not, who knew if he asked the forces of his to come back and they weren’t that far away already.
There was too much risk involved here. So without hesitating anymore, I drove my chariot and landed fiercely on top of his head.
“Oh, you are much harder than I thought,” and when my chariot appeared near him, he raised his head and said in such a fierce way.
“So you were waiting for me?”
“Sure.”
“Planning to surrender?”
“Planning to kill you, hahahaha!”
“I see,” I got that such a lord who managed to read through my intentions and planned all this wasn’t half bad. At least he got a vision for the future.
“Don’t get cocky! I knew that you place a few tricks back at your lands, or else you won’t be daring to come and attack my and others lands like this.”
“And?” I landed with my glaive over his head, but this middle aged dude was a good fighter.
He jumped to the side, evading the attack while aiming at my heart with his long spear.
“Oh, you can fight,” he seemed to imagine me falling by such a weak attack. However when he attacked, I simply moved and flashed past the spear, hitting him with my glaive.
But just before my glaive would land, a shield appeared all of sudden and blocked it.
“And you aren’t that bad either,” I liked his battle experience, his timing of taking out his shield. Just by doing that he managed to avoid death and also kept a card up his sleeve.
As he shielded my hit, he retreated, creating a gap between me and him of tens of metres.
“Why not join me?” I killed a few of his forces who tried to get me from behind while saying this in a calm tone.
I let him retreat as I was interested in his talent. I got a lord to supervise over my lands when I was gone. And now I needed a capable general.
This middle aged man would just do perfectly fine as a general.
“Join you when I have the upper hand? No way!”
“Sorry, but where is this advantage you are speaking about?” I crossed my arms, leant over my glaive as if it was a stick.
“You…” just by my simple move he knew that I wasn’t placing neither him nor his forces in my eyes at all.
“Die!”
“Kill him!”
“He lowered his guard!”
“Take him down!”
And just as I stood like this, without even holding my glaive at all, I heard such angry shouts from behind.
It seemed his forces saw a great chance in getting me while I was standing in such a way.
“Come forth!” and without even looking, I called forth for my Bulltors and shield warriors to arrive, “kill them all, leave none alive!”
Trying to sneakily attack me from behind? Did they think I was only fighting alone?
I still recalled Isac’s funny words which were the best to describe me; I was a one man army!
“This…”
“Let me reveal the big picture to you,” I said in such a calm tone while looking around as if I was watching an interesting show.
My warriors started killing, securing an area around me and that lord without allowing for a single one of his elite forces to step in.
“I’m interested to hear your story,” and that lord seemed to be amused by what I was doing. He crossed his arms, and mimicked me in leaning over his spear, “tell me then, how I don’t have the advantage I thought I had?”
