680 Getting Things Under Control At The Capital
That explained why each time that bastard would appear using a different set of tactics! It looked like I was fighting different people with the same identity.
I was fighting clones! And that was when the bad news lied. I couldn’t kill him. Killing a clone wouldn’t change anything at all!
That might be why Sith didn’t bother telling me anything to help me find him. Killing a clone wouldn’t matter. Killing the real body did.
And as the real person was far in the future, it meant I had no way to kill him!
What a troublesome enemy this dude was!
So, each time I’d face a new enemy of different fighting styles. Each time of failure meant he would be killed, and a new one would pop up coming from the future.
It was mutual damage, something that only someone with endless clones and ability to send them through time would take.
I just hoped this dude would pay a hefty price each time he sent someone over. If so, then it would feel better for me knowing he had to suffer just like mine..
But if he grew the habit of killing his clones each time he failed, then who was taking control over my girl?
I thought it was someone related to this bastard. Yet it seemed I guessed it wrong!
Sigh! It looked like I had to wait for the golden quest to start to see who was this damn bastard who took Karoline away!
During this time, my combined forces of controlled monsters and races with my soulers and other warriors were doing great!
They kept pushing the enemies backwards, while more were getting under my control with the need of doing much.
The threads were generated on their own from the already controlled ones. This made the number of my forces greater with each passing minute.
Yet they didn’t manage to reach the area of portals. This zone was still filled with tons of enemies, making me inwardly sigh.
I had to protect this place for the entire day! I wasn’t bored, I was just restless to go to the Hector continent, and start controlling more Hectors.
I needed to increase the number of those fierce fighters. Besides, more of them would help in letting more of my humans step into cultivation.
Not to mention their hellish way of training, that showed such remarkable effects in such a short time.
But trying to leave the capital before the end of the merge? The risks outweigh the gains to be honest.
So I just focused on controlling more troops, and left the fight at other places to my boys.
They kept updating me with their progress all the time. At first, they moved a bit fast as they cleared lots of areas out of enemies before.
However when the enemy spotted what they were trying to do, they started to face hellish resistance everywhere!
The spearhead kept sending me messages, bragging about how his help saved the day for the other three.
Well, if he was doing great, then he had the right to show off like this. Especially when he acted totally different from what Leo did with Alex.
Two couples, two lovers, and they both acted totally differently thanks to the difference in their personalities and traits.
I could only sigh at the fate each couple ended up in. One was devastating the battlefield, creating names for themselves, and the other was like losers, demoted and were following other leadership.
As for the middle battle zone, it was totally under control. Isac was doing great there, while the other two who got demoted were helping as well.
However they lost their chance, and no matter how Isac tried to put nice words for them, they wouldn’t have that chance again this easily.
After all this would be over, I’d start looking for more reinforcements, replacements for these two and adding more generals as well.
Such an epic battle would be the birthplace of many heroes and talents. I just had to ask each general of mine to start looking into their men, select those who performed well, and leave the final selection for me.
The really brutal fight that kept going back and forth was the one at the Hector continent. Just reading the updates and the advance and retreat my forces had all this time proved how fierce and hard facing Hectors was!
The four were fighting against four paragons and lots of archlords and vices in the Hector armies.
It was such a harsh fight indeed, one that couldn’t be concluded anytime soon.
Just reading the updates made me grin. I didn’t want this battle to end soon. I wanted the Hectors to keep sending and amassing their forces for me to hunt.
As for my side losses, it was big indeed. However the crazy move of Angelica by bringing forth everyone from that world proved its worth at these moments.
No matter how much was killed, much more crossed the bridge over the continent and joined the fight.
Even after all this time, lots of forces came and joined the fight, replenishing most of the losses and adding pressure over the Hectors.
But it seemed both sides reached a middle ground, where they both couldn’t advance or retreat. I knew without my intervention, this would become the line separating the two kingdoms from each other.
However who said I’d be content with just this part of such a vast continent? They controlled almost a five hundred miles area from the shore.
It wasn’t small, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted more, I wanted to control the entire continent if possible.
Time flew fast. During the first hours, the quaking kept rumbling the entire world here. But gradually things started to cool down after the passage of half a day here.
By then, my forces reached the stage of portals, destroying these in batches. The number of destroyed portals increased with each passing hour, and slowly the size of the enemy started to dwindle, giving my side of forces a good time in controlling the entire battlefield.
