766 The Messy Aquatic Battle
[What about those islands and forts? They are still fighting and raining our forces with fire]
I looked up and she was right. Although their numbers weren’t that much, they would create a few problems for my forces.
[Leave them to me] I sent while sending another message to the jumper, [Tell me how things are at your end]
[It’s bad! Those aquatic monsters are really endless! We killed tons and much more just appeared without any signs of stopping! And there are lots of forces on their backs!]
[Isn’t that turtle doing its job?]
[It’s working, but alone it wouldn’t be able to do anything]
I got how difficult the situation at the gulf and ocean was. They needed me there to shift the situation just like I did here.
But to do so, I had to first take down those islands and forts.
“See those things in the air? Bring them down for me,” this wasn’t the first time for me to deal with such forts and islands.
I started first to take them down by surprise using my fallen gods. The attacks that came from them were enough to devastate dozens of these forts, smashing a few islands in the process.
But lots of islands got little harm thanks to their shields. I didn’t have time to play with these little flies, so I directly headed towards them while they started to arrange themselves in an attack formation.
They let the islands take the forefront and sides, while letting all the remaining forts stay in the middle. They knew the shields of their islands were sturdy enough to stand against my boys’ attacks.
But they missed one thing; my glaive!
I didn’t intend to just use my boys this time. I had my glaive, and it could smash anything in its path.
“Select two islands, hit them fiercely with everything you got,” once I drew closer in a blink of an eye, I said to my fallen gods, “and leave the rest for me.”
*Rumble!*
- Being so close from these islands while getting attacked created lots of cracks and helped to greatly weaken them. Then I came up, jumped over the shields and cut them into two halves using my glaive.
I simply moved my glaive right and left, destroying islands everywhere. The frontline defensive islands got smashed and penetrated into two groups while I passed through them without any hurdle.
“Destroy these forts now!” As I reached the central region, and as they never expected me to reach this far without getting much damage, I decided to take down all the forts first, then clear the remaining islands later on.
As I gave the order, my fallen gods spread their attacks around. I didn’t move my chariot, and let my boys attack freely without any restraints.
Just before the shocked Hectors in the islands got to breathe and understand what hit them, all of the forts here were destroyed.
“Trying to run away and regroup later on? Humph!” I allowed the ground forces to do that, as I could crush them at any moment I wanted.
But these islands were a different story.
I was sure they had lots of the strongest forces in this capital. Not to mention the possibility for them to have many members of royalty here.
So letting them retreat would be a mistake. They wouldn’t run as far away from here as possible. They would return back to the central zone, adding more power to the forces stationed there.
I moved my chariot around and started the operation of hunting down the running islands. Out of the ninety something ones, ten groups retreated fast, but my chariot was faster.
I took down one third in the first hour, then the next third in the next two hours. They were running damn fast, but I kept attacking them one island at a time.
Each time I’d let my boys open fire first before ending the island with my glaive. Most of the time was wasted thanks to me running and chasing them all over the place.
After I was done, I used my staff and returned directly towards the capital. Close to twenty something islands went missing, couldn’t be found or seen anywhere.
“I’ll find you later on,” I knew I wasted enough time in taking them down. As for the rest of the islands, they either went back to the capital or they ran so damn far away from here.
During these hours, Lily led everyone towards the central zone of the capital. As I expected, the fight there was much fiercer than ever!
The forces there weren’t those weak fodders, but the top elites of the Hectors in this continent, and perhaps in the entire world.
Even after three hours of constant fighting, Lily and her forces couldn’t break through a single point yet.
I already gave the order for my controlled forces and warriors to support and follow her instructions. But the situation without me and my little turtle looked so damn hopeless.
We kept losing lots of forces while the enemy only lost little. They were stationed and guarded behind mighty walls and towers, while my forces were exposed out in the open.
There was nothing Lily and others could do but to bid for their time and try to find a weak point to get inside from it.
I could only accept such a result. I could have let her wait until I went to the aquatic battle and helped them there.
But my worry was about the enemy sending more reinforcements there. Without getting pressured, they would regain their cool again.
So I had to accept such losses for the big victory in the end.
Once I arrived at the capital, I took almost half an hour of flight to reach the vast aquatic battlefield.
All I could see was forces killing each other everywhere! The little turtle appeared from far, as it seemed it was leading the frontal forces there to stop the aquatic monsters from coming to the ground.
