1404 Make Everyone Retreat
“Finally they started to react,” I already read through all this, and just seeing them coming forced me to retreat.
I trusted my chariot’s shield, but that was against a normal number of enemies. Against such a densely packed, seemingly endless sea of enemies, with fiends leading everyone, I wouldn’t dare to test how long my chariot’s shield would survive.
Even if it managed to sustain pressure at first, eventually it’d crumble down. The shield ran on energy, and I didn’t want to deplete my energy for nothing.
Especially when there was already a way out of this, one that I had already prepared for a long time.
I retreated fast, pulled a huge distance between me and these forces before releasing the endless stream of warriors.
The enemy had tons of soldiers and I also got tons of mine. I took out a few million shield bearers like races, and shouted using my horn:
“Use your combined defensive skill!” This was why I focused more on supporting those folks. I knew they didn’t get the same combined shield skill, but they got something quite similar indeed.
The enemy was stopped abruptly, and yet that alone wasn’t enough.
“Kill them all!” I took out a few million soulers and Bulltor-like races and released them over the incoming enemies.
That might seem quite an impossible feat, considering the huge number of enemies coming from far away. However I didn’t intend to use just these ten millions to stop the tens of millions coming at them or even more.
As I left them to deal with the early waves of the enemy, I instantly flashed, appeared back at the spot I last reached before retreating, and simply used my shield and activated my bone.
My shields could cover up a few miles in radius, giving me enough space to move freely around the holes. Even if I didn’t get close to the holes by one mile like before, using the shields at a distance of three miles away was enough to cover up most of the holes.
Even if part of the holes escaped the coverage of my shield, most would be covered. As for those who got lucky to escape, just adding one more shield to this one would expand it enough to cover them up.
I released my deadly bone and let it explode with deadly fire. I didn’t return back to my forces, instead I went towards the next group of holes, as if there wasn’t a deadly fight going on behind.
The same thing happened. The enemy seemed to choose to save most of his forces from my fire. So he moved the forces around the holes all at the same time.
When I got close to the next group, the number of enemy forces close to the holes was already smaller than the earlier holes. But that didn’t mean I’d not take their lives away.
However I retreated first as many of the retreating enemy forces tried to move ahead to intercept my chariot.
As I pulled enough distance, I took out ten million mixed warriors and left them to deal with the enemies like usual. Then I jumped again, used my shield, activated my bone, and let my fire do the rest.
I kept doing this over and over again. Even if the enemy moved his forces away from the holes already, formed thick layers of forces to stop me from getting close to the whole region, that didn’t stop me.
If taking out ten million wasn’t enough, then I added another ten of soulers to clear out a gap for me to pass through.
And at this moment, using the chariot’s shield wasn’t a bad idea at all!
The focus of the enemy was mainly over my warriors. And that made my chariot attract less fire. Even if the enemy tried later to form a special army to stop me, that didn’t stop me.
They got their special forces, and I got mine. I used my Avengers whenever such a situation appeared. Even used my soulers, Bulltors, shield bearers, and all the races resembling them.
Trying to fight me using such a tactic was indeed a foolish thing. But if the enemy wanted to use such a tactic, why would I bother?
I kept moving around, spreading chaos and death using my deadly bones. The enemy might have seen lots of my tricks, however there were still more that they didn’t know.
Using such deadly attacks was enough to kill any enemy no matter how strong he was.
[Something is happening back there] and just as I was in the middle of doing all this, absorbed totally in the hectic battle going on, Isac sent this message, asking for help.
Without the need to ask, I knew something bad happened regarding the worms.
[What happened?] and even if I guessed what happened, I still asked for more details.
[The worms! They appeared out of thin air! They came from everywhere! And the current situation is quite bad!]
[How bad?] I asked as I already knew how deadly these worms were. It was expected for them to bring death to my warriors. However at least I kept those scary Exomachines busy dealing with my forces.
Even if the enemy dared to move part of these Exomachines out, things would still not shift to the better for their side. The worms didn’t get into their planned place, and I already killed lots of them.
[They are coming out from the ground surrounding the central zone! They are everywhere, killing our forces without having a way to even stop them]
I got what happened. It seemed the worm plan went on for much longer than I initially thought. [Make everyone retreat back into the shields]
[The shields didn’t work! They got to smash the shields open]
[Just make everyone retreat, I’ll give you half an hour to do so] I knew what she was speaking about.
Against such worms, no defences would work. That was given. And reading her freaking out words didn’t move a muscle in me.
