Chapter 1048 I Got Tricked!!!
I looked at the only place where these two might choose to run away from. They got one single wall under their control, the one that lay on the back of the central zone.
They still have over a million forces here. If they wanted to run, then they easily could slip through such dense numbers without getting noticed.
Missing a few hundreds or even a couple thousand from such a huge army would go unnoticed. But for their bad luck, I got to read their intentions and their plan to stall me here just failed miserably.
I knew they wouldn't stop even after losing such an important card. They'd better risk it rather than staying here and waiting for death to come to them.
"Fine then," as I got what they planned, I evilly grinned, "let the two birds try to fly, and when they'd think they were in the safe, they'd realise they ran directly into a deadly trap."
Trying to outrun my chariot? That was a joke! Thinking that a few thousands would stop me? That was hilarious!
I got two options ahead of me, and I selected the most cunning one.
I stayed here, creating more havoc at the central zone by controlling the tens of thousands of their forces, turning them against their fellow comrades.
And in the meantime, I kept a vigilant eye all the time over the direction of that wall.
I could have gone there easily and created havoc there, blocking any path of retreat over these two lords.
But that would end up by turning these two scared lords into frightening beasts. A cornered enemy was the deadliest enemy that anyone'd face.
It was better to lure them out of their forces, let them run towards what they considered safety for a few tens of miles before landing on their heads like doom.
Killing these two would secure me two pieces of land, and a million good troops without doubt. And it would end such a long battle at last.
I still got three other battlefields and lands to crush and add to my territory before finally shifting my eyes towards the bigger fish waiting for me.
In fact, I got two pretty fat fishes waiting for me to hunt and devour. Hopefully they'd not feel my threat and rush away towards safety before I'd close my net over them.
So in the next hour I kept doing what my enemies expected, while watching the area beyond the walls.
"Damn! These two are really hard to catch!" and just after the passage of one hour, a sudden change occured at the direction of that wall.
I expected one group to appear running away from the direction of the wall. But right now, I saw hundreds of thousands running all of sudden, like they were water held by a collapsed dam and released to the world.
These two… Sigh! It seemed they doubted me reading through their plans. And so they took their time to withdraw more forces at the walls in a way I didn't notice until it was too late.
"Fine! I'll show you how futile all this is! Come, move towards that direction and kill all you can find!"
As these two decided to move in such a way, I didn't hold back and ordered my flying gigantic castle to move towards the direction of the retreating enemies.
However at this moment, I realised the flaw of this castle, the one I forgot about all this time.
This castle… It got such a heavy butt moving at a good speed! It was moving like a snail!
"Come back!" without any hesitation, I called it back and then flashed with my chariot towards the direction of the rapidly running forces.
And in less than a couple minutes I arrived on top of their heads.
"Come out!" I took the castle first, letting it block the path of retreat over most of the forces, "kill anyone down below! Don't let anyone escape!"
I didn't wait to see how my forces on this castle would do. I instantly moved towards one direction where the castle wouldn't be able to cover, and took out a large army of soulers.
One hundred thousand soulers at least appeared down below. In fact I called out for a million, but it seemed this was my current limit for now.
"Kill all of them," I gave them such a simple and direct order before flashing towards the opposite direction.
My castle was colossal, but the enemy managed to stretch their forces over tens of miles. So it was impossible for my castle to cover all this up on its own.
On one side, my soulers stood like death gods and started reaping souls without any pause. And from another, I stood in the air, while letting my dragons and fallen gods kill to their heart content.
"Where are you?" I didn't take part at all in this fight. I only kept watching in vigilance the wide battlefield, looking for any sign of the presence of these two lords.
But after an hour of such deadly fights everywhere, I couldn't tell where these two were.
And that meant one simple thing… They weren't here!
Damn! They outplayed me again!
"Go," as I realised this, I didn't resign to such fate. I'd never allow them to go away, over my dead body! "Keep fighting and killing until you kill all."
I called forth for all the flying monsters and then ordered my fallen gods to get over their backs. Riding dragons and flying monsters wasn't a new tactic.
I used it before. And at this crucial moment, I got to entrust this place over to them.
As the fallen gods got over the backs of my dragons and flying monsters, I finally had time to inspect the entire battlefield again.
I blocked the path behind the wall, but there were two narrow paths to retreat.
They were each on either side of the wall, to the right and left from it. It wasn't a good and all secured place to run through, but in the middle of this messy and chaotic battle, these two might get lucky and escape.
