1194 Making A Hard Choice

If the drones had such a high chance of failing, then Legend decided to push everything he got forward towards these Hescos.

Even the far away weapons that kept all this time silent started to roar again with flashes of deadly lights, landing over the entire defensive structure and hitting towers and walls without any reservation.

It looked like a real doomsday over there. Legend used past time and moved the weapons forward, making the far away defences fall in their range of fire.

Attacks came from everywhere. And they all looked deadly. The Hescos were thrown into such a messy situation, having to choose from different scenarios, all looked terrible to me and to them.

If I was in their shoes, I didn’t know what to do or select. Any choice I’d make would end up by stopping one assaulting force and neglecting the others.

If the Hescos ignored the zombies and the incoming warriors, they’d be able to stop the imminent threatening drones and suits. But that would require all the flying forces Hescos could control to take part, trying to buy time to activate that scary offensive attack once again.

Even if they aimed to just shield their defences with a dome, defending and not attacking, it would still take time.

If they did so, they’d stop the threatening drones and risk losing too much of their flying forces. At the same time, the ground battles would be controlled by my zombies and warriors.

Not to mention the attacking weapons that launched fire like dropping rain over the towers and walls. If they were given enough time, many of their defensive structures and forces would be killed.

And they’d have to face the terrifying number of zombies and warriors combined with the weaker races and Hescos on top of the walls right now.

It might seem advantageous to them, but that was on paper. Practically speaking, they’d be dead even before the flying Hescos would take care of the drones and suits.

Even if they tried to activate their defensive shield, or try to turn it into a scary attack once again, they’d fail.

Selecting any choice would result in their loss, and I couldn’t tell which decision would yield less losses than the other.

Of course they could decide to go on all fronts at the same time, dividing up their forces, but that would end up in more devastating damage to their defences.

I watched in curiosity and waited for what choice these Hescos would make.

But as the clouds of drones and suits flew over the defences, and the ground forces engaged with the few lines of defences standing between them and the walls, nothing else happened.

“They are still stuck in their daze, not knowing what to do,” I got that they might be quick witted, but they weren’t that invincible.

I was, after all, the one holding the advantage right now. I didn’t feel the same pressure or threat they were facing. So it was easy for me to think rationally and in such a calm way.

Not to mention I knew what was going on to the deepest detail. As for them, they just were speculating and trying to gather up clues to understand what was going on.

Just as the drones flew over the defences, many started to fall and explode over the defences. All I saw were tons of roses appearing, expanding in a fierce way all over the place, taking in their way many towers and defensive structures.

I soon noticed that a single drone was enough to take away tens of towers, turning an entire zone into chaos. When I noticed that, I realised why Garry was in such confidence before.

That dude seemed to know how devastating the drones were. Or to be more precise, he knew how deadly the grenades were.

A single drone was enough to take down tens of towers. So each zone would take the hit from three drones to be rendered useless.

pA n,dan0vel.c0m As the drones kept flying forward, more towers were destroyed. Soon the Hescos seemed to make up their minds. Instead of going after the ground forces, they decided to go towards the drones.

Just when the swarms of flying Hescos appeared alongside many flying races on their side, the suits accompanying the drones acted.

The number disparity wasn’t that big actually. The two sides clashed midair, and deadly fights erupted from the start.

“Another flying force? Hescos is bringing everyone to take down my drones!” My drones looked deadly, but they had one hellish weakness.

Once they attacked their target, they’d be destroyed with it. So with time, more destruction would come to the vast defensive structure out there, but with it less drones would be left.

If the Hescos were smart, they’d try to attack the ground forces and let the drones exhaust themselves. Even with ten thousand drones, it felt impossible to take down even half of that grand structure.

When my forces started to venture over the defensive zone, more of it became visible in my eyes. It gave me the impression that the entire planet was covered up in these dense defences.

I couldn’t see an end to these defences, and that meant even with ten times the number of drones, I wouldn’t be able to take down all of this.

Seeing them rush towards the drones made me frown. If things were really like this, then why were they in such a rush?

Something seemed off here, but I couldn’t place my fingers on it. I knew I had to wait for a little longer, and that mysterious weakness or fear these Hescos were trying to run away from would get revealed in front of me.

Then I’d simply use the right way to exploit such weakness, making these Hescos bleed more.

The Hescos came from different directions towards my drones and suits. The suit force tried to do their best to stop these Hescos, but the numerical advantage was now in favour of the Hescos.
