Novel Full 1261 Going To Sara's Rescue
[Alright! You can come then and help our forces from the outside to break through the densely packed Hescos]
[How long can you survive on your own?] I thought about going to the surface first, leaving behind something as a gift for the incoming Hescos armies from outside.
[What? Are you planning to let us suffer for much longer? No, I take back what I said! We are dying! We need help! Help!]
Reading her words made me laugh uncontrollably. [Fine, I’ll come now and help you before doing anything else] I closed the chat and started to look around.
This main base fight was almost over. I got all the big names and many of their elites. The remaining forces of Hescos were now surrendering to my side, and were escorted towards my chariot.
As Sara wasn’t in a very dangerous situation anymore, I stayed for much longer and welcomed the incoming surrendered enemies.
Even if their number wasn’t that great, they were elites. If I started turning all of them into warriors through the dens of warriors, then I could have a great number of elite forces under my disposal at any moment.
I got the ability to create the legendary Hescos, but the cost was still too much for someone like me. I’d take my time in expanding the mediocre number of these legendary Hescos, and that would take at least one year if not more.
Having these elite Hescos would fill in the gap of the legendary Hescos for a long time. But that, of course, if I didn’t get much more of these Hescos in the later battles.
I wanted to fill my entire military force with these Hescos. From this battle, I learnt how weak and vulnerable my generals and elite circle were.
I couldn’t give them artefacts easily as most of these were bound by blood, and they weren’t that easy to find in the first place.
Even out of the paragons I got this time, I doubted the number of high grade artefacts would be more than ten. And among those, I desired that artefact to seal other artefacts too much.
That was a very low number to begin with, and wouldn’t help at all in filling in the gaps between my race and others.
My only way was to start attending big auctions and spend tons of bones over such treasures.
Thinking about bones… I had tons of dead bodies in this world. “I won’t return before collecting all my trophies,” I decided and waited for two more hours before the last batch of Hescos signed the contract with me.
“Stay here and take control of the defences,” I didn’t want to lose any of them in the next battle. First I didn’t want to lose to such elites, and second because that battle wasn’t that intense or dangerous like before.
It could be said to be a very easy fight right now. Once I’d appear, things would be literally over for all the resisting Hescos.
“Lord, do you want us to step up for you and order our people to stop fighting and surrender?” Once my chariot moved and Matte didn’t stop talking and asking about where we were going.
At the end I did tell him. After all it wasn’t a secret anymore and he’d soon realise where we were heading.
And when he knew, he gave me such an offer.
“No thanks,” this dude was overestimating his influence.
In the eyes of his people, he might be a high figure, known and respected by many. However, that all changed the moment he surrendered to me.
Just recalling the fierce reaction Stephen showed the first moment he spotted Matte made me reject such an offer decisively.
Besides, I didn’t need anyone to step in and speak up for me. I used his tongue to soften the hard to crack head of Stephen because I doubted my ability to make him join my side.
But against others, even generals, I’d prefer to let my threads speak doing the speaking instead.

When I was on top of the hole, I was welcomed with a very weird scene.
The entire upper section of this hole was controlled now by my forces, then the Hescos, then my forces again led by Sara, then Hescos, and finally my lower most troops.
It was a very weird arrangement to be honest. But thanks to such a weird arrangement, none of those Hescos fighting here got the news of the fall of their head base yet or the loss of their generals and paragons.
This bizarre lineup made it easier to deal with the Hescos. And I knew why Sara’s position became better.
The Hescos planned to surround my forces inside from all directions, yet ended up getting encircled without any means of retreat.
When I started to use my threads and managed to get past many layers, I noticed the fall of the tunnels around at these layers.
It seemed when my legendary Hescos dug the ground they brought down the tunnels, cutting any path of retreat for these Hescos.
I kept controlling Hescos for hours, until I finally took over most of the ones at the upper layers. The ones who didn’t fall under my clutches were the ones who died in the middle in between my forces.
“At last!” When I cleared all the Hescos from the top layers, Sara finally managed to break free. She came with a bunch of her entrusted and capable leaders, in addition to only two generals.
“Where are the rest?” I noticed the two generals by their chariots I gave to them before.
“They didn’t make it,” she shook her head and that gave me a clear image about how terribly bad their situation was before sending out reinforcements from Earth.
“It’s good you all made it alive,” I didn’t stop much at the loss of the three generals. I got much more generals from the Hescos, and they would be much better replacements than those dead ones.
