1039 An Awesome Switch
It looked quite bad at first, until the shattered shield suddenly flew fast, flashing towards the direction of the enemy.
And like bombs, each golden particle flashed with brighter light before detonating in such fierce way.
“Damn cool!” seeing all this from a far and high position made me thrilled! In just a flash, hundreds of thousands got killed, all without exception.
And the better news was that the places they attacked from were in the middle of the large army.
The explosions didn’t just kill these enemies, but they also expanded and ate up those close to them. With each explosion happening close to each other, and with the huge number of small golden particles peeled off my shield here, the explosions merged and formed mighty grand balls of golden fire that kept sweeping clean the enemy in all directions.
Damn! This… This was damn cool and brutal!
Killing hundreds of thousands? Forget it! I swore at least a million and half fell in just these past seconds!
“Hahahaha! I don’t know what happened to you, but you are now my beloved baby, hahahaha!” I turned to the hanging midair pillar and laughed in a hysterical way.
What just happened? I frankly didn’t know. For a reason, my precious pillar got such an insane boost, ending up showing a terrifying side of its might.
And like this, the entire situation of this war changed dramatically. Trying to resist with everything we got? Nah! That wasn’t the only option we have right now.
“Keep yourselves inside,” I took up my horn and instantly spread out the new orders for my soulers, “stay inside and only come out to attack anyone if they are close by. Try to lure them to attack the shield and then retreat inside for safety.”
Just like this, this battle turned from a desperate defensive one into an attrition battle of wits.
My forces weren’t needed to go out and sacrifice themselves. They’d just keep the enemy busy, lure them to attack the outer layers of the shield and activate these scary explosive particles.
“What about us?” the little turtle asked.
“Keep attacking, you two can use long ranged skills and abilities. So you can attack freely without any restraints.”
I now have the perfect setting for such a battle. My shield wasn’t just defending my forces, but they were posing a deadly threat to my enemies.
All we needed to do was to keep the enemy pressured, and that was the task of my two pets. Like this, when they’d face my soulers, they wouldn’t have any free mind to evade the chase after my soulers.
With enough time and pressure, they’d detonate more layers of my shield without doubt.
All I needed to do now was to entrust this place over to my forces here. My presence in this battle wasn’t needed.
I planned to return back and join others, but this seemed to happen much sooner than I planned.
I looked around for a few minutes. The devastation that came from my shield made all the forces coming here shocked.
They were taken by fear and surprise as none seemed to expect I’d get something like that up my sleeves.
Well, they couldn’t be blamed. I didn’t even know my pillar would end up in such a state until I used it.
“Time to go back,” I opened a portal and appeared next at King’s land.
When I arrived there, I spotted a few groups of forces looming far away. They seemed to be the forces belonging to the grander army of lords coming after Lang.
“Oh, you are really a man of your words, what a rare thing in our times!” and just as I stood in midair for a few minutes, closely observing the moves of these far away scout units, I heard the voice of Kong coming from behind.
Well dude, I just got lucky back at my land and was freed early on from such a fight. “I’m a man of my words, keep that in mind,” but that didn’t prevent me from taking advantage of this and showing off.
“Great. They just arrived a few minutes before you,” he stood down my chariot, looking in the same direction I was looking.
“Any danger?”
“No, but they’ll sniff the presence of that jerk’s forces with yours soon enough.”
I smiled evilly. “Good to hear,” I said while turning my eyes to one direction, “I hope they are smart enough to follow me.”
“You… I don’t know what you plan, but I hope it isn’t just an arrogant side that will bring your demise.”
“Don’t worry,” I laughed, “I’m not acting like this without a good reason and great plan,” I started moving my chariot fast, “keep your forces inside, never step outside, got it?”
“Sure!” I heard his shout from behind and then his land vanished from my sight.
I used the fastest speed of my chariot to head towards the nearest battle. I managed to stop the grand army from getting to my land. And it was time to use this chance and start hunting down the lords.
But when I arrived at the first territory, I found the fight had already started there. It took me roughly five minutes to cross the distance, and I had to bypass one territory that belonged to a sane and cautious lord.
Of course not all the lords in this region joined this crusade against me. Few were sane enough to know their limits and not risk their lives against me.
I looked weak, new to this world, but I was also shrouded in fog. It was a foolish move to try and test me in such a way. And it was a good thing as well for me.
After all this would settle down, and all the dust from all these battles would vanish, my fame would skyrocket in this place and even beyond.
Like this, those who were sane enough to stand neutral and watch would end up caressing my favour, looking to serve me in exchange for peace.
It might be unbelievable, but just from this tough and tight situation I was in, I’d end up the overlord of this region.
How cool would this be?
