279 Hilary's Little Surprise
Together the two formed a deadly combo, one that put real pressure over the enemy forces.
The enemy started to crumble, showing real gaps and lack of organisation in their lines. The frontline started to be pushed back at some point, leading to the formation of a strange situation.
We, led by my chariot in the air, were pushing forward on a wide front. Yet it wasn’t enough to take the entire frontline of the enemy. So that led to the formation of a pouch inside the enemy grand army formation if one looked from high above.
Theoretically speaking, such a move would be risky. After all, the enemy could simply move their two sides, meeting behind our lines, and entrapping our forces inside.
But in reality this didn’t happen. It wasn’t because the enemy lacked any experienced generals leading them, but because I left a few fallen gods to defend these dangerous lines alongside a few dragons as well.
They got a simple order; don’t hold back anything! If the enemy tried to execute such a plan, then wasting the dragon’s ultimate attacks and exhausting them wouldn’t look like a loss at all.
[We are here!]
Just before the enemy would move to attack our rear points as I feared, I got such good news from my Hilary.
She came! At last! [Join the fight] I sent, [Take charge of one side east to the city and our fighting forces]
[You don’t want us to go and join your forces?] she asked back, and I knew she got the right to be in such a dilemma when reading my last words.
She didn’t know that the enemy main forces were coming from the direction of Newton city. That means the other two cities, Boston and Cambridge, weren’t yet under the total control of the Hectors.
So instead of wasting my forces in such a pointless fight against the direction of Newton city, it was better to exert more pressure over the side of the other two cities.
First the enemy wouldn’t be able to match the death rate at any time. And second this would lead to clearing up the enemy forces at that side much faster, then Hilary, Angelica, and the spearhead forces could come and join this long fight later on.
And lastly, this would lead to exhausting more power on the enemy side at the two cities. Hopefully this might be of a help to the fighting forces inside the two cities.
[You are more needed to clear the forces at East] I sent over, [Just do a good job and clear these forces fast]
[Give us an hour]
I looked at the east. The size of forces there weren’t as much as the ones to the west, but there were a good number of enemies there.
Saying they’d clear these through one hour was simply an exaggeration. Perhaps she underestimated the Hectors leading this battle, mostly not realising who we were up against.
Yet when their forces came into my sight, I soon realised what was going on. For some reason, there were lots of warriors fighting on their side.
Unlike my soulers, fallen gods, dragons, and other warriors, theirs were just mainly ground forces. They didn’t give me the same impression I got when looking at my warriors. They weren’t as strong as mine.
But they compensated that with numbers. Compared to a few tens of thousands of warriors, mostly soulers, theirs were over a hundred thousand at least.
Of course such a thing wouldn’t be known to any of my two teammates. I never thought about how I summoned my warriors or bought them. So there was only one person able to do such a fear; Hilary.
That chick… She wasn’t all beautiful and sexy after all.
“So that’s how you planned to kill them in one hour? Interesting…”
Adding the one hundred and fifty thousand human forces led by the three, their forces were enough to clear that side in one hour indeed.
Even if the enemy tried to send more reinforcements, they would buy a couple of hours more.
In the end, that side was destined to fall under my control.
As the east problem was solved, it was now time to focus over the west. That Newton city seemed to fall totally under the control of the Hectors.
Of course I could speculate how they took control over the three cities this fast. They got the support of two races here, the illusionists and the succubi.
These two were enough to sell their gates cheap to the Hectors. It only needed one Hector to take control of these gates and link them to his world.
Then everything else would be easy to guess. The Hectors would call up a strong force that would land without warning over the heads of the other three races.
Even if the other three races were strong, much fiercer than the succubi and illusionists, they wouldn’t be able to adapt to such fierce attack from the Hectors.
Being outnumbered, and with such a deadly race leading the army, the other three gates were destined to fall. Yet it seemed something was a bit different at Boston and Cambridge.
Either the two cities held more importance to the three races than Newton or the humans there were just as strong as the forces here. I was delighted by such a result.
After all the more they bought time there, the easier it would be for me to go and crush that shield from the inside. But now I just needed to push these forces more to the west, to buy my forces here time until I go and crash the shield.
So during the next four hours, I kept relentlessly attacking. I never held back my forces, leading to my fallen gods to exhaust their stored ultimate attacks and came to resupply twice.
The end result of this was clearing the entire front and half of the west distance to the shield and Newton city. Also Hilary and the other two managed to clear the entire East side during this time.
