“Starting from north at west of Michigan, down to west of Illinois and ending up at Missouri, these areas will be his reign of activity,” I explained, “he will act as our buffer fighting force, fighting any other race nearby and make sure not a single army stays in peace.”
“Will he accept that?” she seemed to not truly understand the essence of these Berserkers.
“He will even thank me for this,” I laughed, “but that doesn’t mean we’ll have to lower our guard in that area.”
“Considering your plans…” she returned to look at the map before adding after a long moment of pause, “our south will be well protected by the Selvator dude. Our east is secured by the ocean. So only this region in the west will have our full concentration.”
“Indeed,” this was the best approach I thought about, “but we won’t station all of our forces there. We need to start training them.”
“At the dungeon?”
“Not only that,” I shook my head, “I want all of them to start their cultivation.”
“Cu… Do you think it’s that easy? Humans are far away from cultivation!”
“I know,” I wasn’t surprised by her reaction, “but who said I don’t have a cheat code here?”
“A cheat code? Hmm…” she seemed to struggle for a bit longer this time until her eyes shone in realisation, “that Hector chick… Damn! I totally forgot about her…”
She suddenly shrugged her body free from my arms, turned around as she seriously added in warning, “I saw how this girl looked at you. I swear if you dared to play with her, I’d torture that little brother of yours down there.”
She pointed at my waist, making me move my hands in reflex to safeguard my little treasure down there.
“Come on! She is full of scales!” I defended myself, or tried to do so.
“Fine and beautifully looking scales? No way, if you dare to come at her, I’ll dare to harm him.”
I rolled my eyes, moved away my hands while saying in response:
“It’s funny! Few days ago you didn’t mind sharing me with another girl.”
“Because she owned you first! But now I’m the one owning you! If anyone wants you, they have to come and ask for my permission first!”
“This…” I couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed pointless talking about this with her, “I’ll keep my distance away from her, don’t worry about that.”
“I’m not worrying about you, but about her,” she harrumphed, and I didn’t know what went wrong in her mind.
Anyway, it wasn’t something I wanted anyway. Lily looked good indeed, but without all her scales. Wait… What if she learnt about the new girl? Damn! Damn! I couldn’t let her know or else…
I stole a glance down at my little treasure before inwardly sighing. It was my curse in this life to live my entire life as a virgin, then when I came back here and became hellishly strong, I’d be surrounded with all these beauties.
Damn luck! That wasn’t even fair!
“But what about that dude?” she seemed to relax a bit after a few moments of silence, “the one who caused us all this trouble.”
“We will just watch out for him,” I tiredly said, “that dude… He just is acting like a snake. He will hold himself, wait and keep lurking in the dark, before waiting for the right moment to attack.”
“The moment when we will lower our guard, just like what happened here, right?”
“It’s not just this simple,” I shook my head, “that dude had many chances before to use his ability, but he refrained. He just wants to make sure his strike will be decisive and deadly, to end everything without any room for errors.”
“But he failed this time,” she moved her hands around, “failed it big.”
“That’s because he never thought I’d come back,” just saying these words made her face slightly darken. She still seemed to feel bitter and worry about what happened to me before.
“He missed me, and when I came back I managed to ruin everything he worked for. But next time he won’t make this mistake again.”
“It seems you know him pretty well.”
“I have to understand my enemies better than myself,” I simply answered, “or else I won’t be able to defeat them.”
“I just hope we can get a clue or something about his identity,” she said with a long sigh, and I couldn’t deny my agreement with what she said.
“Let’s focus on the fight here then,” I turned my eyes around.
“Are you planning to leave such big enemies intact?” she came and stood by my side at the edge of the chariot, overseeing the overstretching armies at the distance.
The enemy was indeed in a good shape. Even after all this killing and fighting, they still had a big advantage here in terms of numbers.
At first they lost big. But when they assigned one leader to the army, things started to slightly change.
We began to exchange losses, slightly equal to each other. Of course they were losing a lot per each minute, but most were useless weak races that held no value at all.
“I’m thinking about toying a little with them before we leave,” I knew if my army broke free, then the enemies would keep following and chasing us until we stopped.
That meant the area we would stop at would continue to have war. That wasn’t a logical end for this war.
“Alone?” she asked in surprise and I snorted.
“Do you think anyone here can stop me? Come on, I even killed paragons!” I rolled up my eyes in response to her words.
“My man is mighty,” she said with a chuckle, making me want to punish her in the bed right now.
“I’ll hold you accountable for such a comment later on,” I said in threat, “but after we end this fight here.”
*Snap!*
I didn’t give her time to say anything and just snapped my fingers to call my scattered dragons. Of course I didn’t have such ability and had to just cancel their summon and then resummon them back.
Damn! If I had such ability, it would be really cool.
