Chapter 1043 [Bonus chapter] Single Item Is Enough To Change The Course Of War
The marvel thing about this oath was that it added the territory of the lords going underneath me without the need for me to do anything. When I went there, I found all the forces standing idle, waiting for me it seemed.
And when I arrived there, I got something I had to decide right now. Should I send them to the previous lands, or should I send them to the next ones?
Tom was the thirteenth lord, and that meant there were still two more remaining I didn’t visit yet. After looking at them for a long five minutes, I made up my mind.
“Come out!”
“Lord!”
I first summoned Lucas. He seemed to be immersed in fighting as he flashed the moment he appeared before realising where he was.
“I want you to lead this army,” I pointed to the few tens of thousands here, “lead them towards that direction and…”
I started telling him what I wanted.
“Sure lord, but I came from a lord territory where a brutal fight is going on out there.”
“Did he summon a large number of forces?”
“The two lords joined hands actually, each brought an army of many hundreds of thousands,” he paused, “we merged our forces together but…”
“We lack numbers.”
“And in quality as well,” he gave me such surprising news, “one of the two lords has a blue grade territory. And that bastard called for a really troublesome army.”
“I see,” it was nice to meet such a hard foe.
“And lord… He uses something weird in fighting, I think it’s like skills and abilities but he uses them without any interval.”
“Hmm… Interesting foe indeed. What about the other lord?”
“He is… Just like any other lord here.”
“Fine, you go and do your task then. I’ll join you once I’m done from these lords.”
I watched him go down there and start arranging his forces into many smaller groups. I didn’t dwindle here for too long before heading towards the last epic battle location.
Even Lucas found this battle hard to win. And that made me place a great hope on this one.
Would the enemy be so strong? If so then it was time for me to try out something I didn’t try yet.
According to him, the last two merged forces and stationed together at the last lord’s place, which was around half an hour from Tom’s place.
At last there was someone smart enough to lean towards such a tactic. And that meant these two already got the news about the current situation of the battle going on at my land.
“They indeed did something good,” when I arrived there, I found a huge stretch of land, almost over a thousand miles.
It was blue grade indeed, one of the rare blue ones in this region. The size of this land wasn’t enough to stop these two from filling it with many soldiers.
And these ones seemed to be well trained, most of them actually.
They got the home advantage, and the help from many buildings. I even saw part of the wall stretched in a semi-circular way, blocking the path over my armies in three spots, allowing only for my army to walk inside through three wide gaps.
But no matter how wide these gaps were, they looked narrow in front of the army of mine and theirs.
I saw lots of their armies standing on top of these walls. Coupled with many defensive towers and lots of heavy guns, the fight turned into a carnage, a meat grinder eating up many of my forces.
This… This was an awesome tactic that I never saw before!
“Interesting indeed,” even from the air, I spotted lots of flying islands that were all made out of some kind of metallic ore. Attacks landed from air and ground, making this battle impossible to win this way.
However… They might get an advantage if they were fighting anyone but me.
“Come forth!” and at this moment I decided to take out something I never took before, something big, something mighty, something that could change the outcome of this entire battle with its presence.
My flying castle!
*Fwoosh!*
In a flash, that gigantic flying castle appeared all of sudden. Its shadow alone was enough to scare the sh*t inside all the soldiers in this battlefield, on both sides together.
“Listen up, you two jerks,” I held my horn and spoke to these two lords. I had to admit that I admired their wits and tactics. However just from this alone I could tell they were far to reach.
These two already knew about the desperate situation their forces were facing back at my land. Instead of thinking about submitting to me, they prepared all this to stop me from taking down their lands.
So if they wanted war, I’d gladly hammer their doors with the heaviest sledgehammer I got.
“This is my thing, and I’m coming to crush you down. Bring everything you two got, even bring soldiers from that nearby land. I don’t care. Try to flank me, trap me, try to kill me… Do whatever you want, as I’ll also do whatever I want and take my time in tearing your two armies piece by piece down to the last elites surrounding you right now and then… I’ll kill you two.”
I turned my attention towards my castle. “Attack!” I just gave a single order.
My castle… Who said it was empty?
I got my little beauty back when I crushed that arrogant son of b*tch, the lame king of the Hector race. I got it as a bonus, and at this time it was filled with lots of force.
I never thought about taking advantage of it until now. I never faced a situation like this before, where my forces were limited and I couldn’t bring more troops in short notice.
I just gave the order, and hell gates opened and flooded its deadly attacks over all the soldiers down below.
