Like this I’d end vastly expanding my territory to reach a terrifying area. But that would come at the expense of wasting time. Taking control of each town or city would take at least an hour up to five according to the number of portals there.
Also if there were forces stationed in these towns and cities, I’d take time to get rid of them. Especially if they used their gates to bring forth much force.
Doing this might look great, but in the end I’d be giving those bastards a chance to slip away.
“I shouldn’t get greedy,” I murmured while deeply contemplating this, “towns and cities won’t go anywhere. So I can just come back to them after I exterminate those bastards.”
So that left two more options at my table. Either I’d scatter my monsters into teams, move fast to circle Texas from all sides and risk losing much of them during the process.
Or I should let them stick to my chariot and move in one hell of an army until we reach the outskirts of Texas. Then I’d start circling the state with them, leaving few behind to form a grand wall lining the state.
The first had the advantage of time, and the second had the advantage of keeping my forces intact.
“Why shall I bother about these monsters?” as I thought deeply about these two options for ten minutes, I shrugged, “even if I lost most of them, I can still get more from this quest. Also the remaining forces will be much fiercer and more evolved than the current ones. It’s a win-win situation indeed.”
As I decided that, I started to get busy organising the teams. I made twenty teams, and started giving orders to each one.
Each team had slightly over one million monsters in it. I scattered each team I formed around, sending few to the south, few to the east, and most to the west.
During this, we came in contact with towns and cities with portals. The first dozens we met were void cities and towns, looking like deserted places that turned to a playground of monsters.
It seemed like this was done on intention. Like this, the races formed a buffer zone between them and my kingdom. They wouldn’t lose any forces like this, and I had to fight the brutal monsters if I wanted to bypass this region.
However I wasn’t fighting with my human forces. I was fighting monsters with their match, and even my monsters showed much more evolution than those monsters down there.
So while I was busy arranging such a grand number into teams, using a batch selection option for me to do that, my boys crushed their way against all foes they met.
I soon realised how wrong I was in my estimation. These monsters here were weak and didn’t pose much of a challenge to my boys.
I stole a peek from time to time, to just inwardly sigh. When my monsters evolved in such an imbalanced way regarding the three main types, the ground monsters seemed to grow envious.
They weren’t killing, they were directly eating up their enemies in such a brutal and bloody way. They killed and ate at the same time, while I could see hundreds of monsters devouring tens of their foes in a matter of seconds!
It was… Gruesome to watch such a thing. But if that was going to make my boys stronger and fiercer, then it was ok for me.
By the passage of the third hour, the fight broke out much more fiercely than before. The reason for that was obvious. First I already sent ten teams out there, letting the total size of my army dwindle at a rate obvious to naked eye.
Also starting from here, it seemed I reached places controlled by races. This zone was controlled by the fierce Dragon race. And these dudes were an old enemy of mine.
They started summoning many forces through portals, letting my inwardly sigh.
“Portals are good, but don’t you know that I can get them?” I rolled my eyes while saying this in disdain.
I moved fast and took control of these annoying gates first. During this time, the forces down below started to show a change than before.
It wasn’t common to see lots of anti-air weapons and gears in these forces. But now as my chariot got close to the gates, I got bombarded like it was christmas eve or something.
“Wow! They seem to like you, hahaha!” the jumper game and watch the entire world shine in butterfly sparks of different colours as endless shots kept swarming at my chariot from down below.
It looked amazing to stand in the middle of all this and not get a single hurt. And it was all thanks to my chariot’s mighty shield.
“They have brought new weapons just for you,” Isac came as well as he sighed, “but it’s amazing how you can stand or move in the middle of all this.”
“They are just throwing rocks,” I shrugged before the jumper explained the value of my shield and even narrated a few past incidents when my shield got truly tested.
“Impressive indeed!” Isac’s eyes shone in greed, “from where can I get such a mighty vehicle?”
“It’s not for sale,” I solemnly said, “and it’s one of the kind baby.”
“Damn! Then…”
“No, don’t even think about it!” Before he could ask to lend my baby over to him, I hurriedly shook my head and firmly refused such a thing.
“Don’t even try, he is such a stingy greedy bastard,” the jumper from the side showed his rude tongue again.
“Screw off,” I turned and gave my back to these two. I was in the middle of a big fight right now, not the time to have such childish play with that jumper.
Even if I lost sight of the world outside, I knew where I was going by using my thread technique. I didn’t aim to control anyone, but just used it to expand my sight.
