As doomsday landed over their heads, I started to closely examine the five spots Matte pointed at.

As expected, each spot had at least ten generals and a couple paragons. “Your people have too many paragon candidates in this world,” I noticed the total number of paragons I saw was close to twenty.

In my world, the number of paragon candidates was always around five. I only saw such a large number in one race before; the Hectors.

“We have many elites and big families to choose from,” Matte was still scared of the legendary Hescos, so he kept his distance from me.

Since I summoned the legendary Hescos and Matte’s legs kept trembling as if he was about to piss himself out of fear.

“Tsk! Such a strong race and all it brought out is such useless folks,” I couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. When I looked at these five spots, I was shocked to see similar ones to Matte out there.

In fact the ones I counted as paragons were those with shaking legs or retreating with their backs behind the walls.

If a good seed was down there, then his calibre would appear in the middle of such a stressful situation.

The good ones with good potential would shine at times of distress. Or else when would they show up their worth?

All the ones who stood firm and kept spreading orders in calm and collected demeanour were the ones who wore red suits, mostly generals.

As for the purple suits, they were all showing signs of fear just like Matte. Sigh! Even in the number one race, favouritism of the big families got over the capable talents like these generals.

Living in peace and prosperity had their devastating effect, even of such a mighty and formidable race.

Even when I saw this, I never lowered my guard. A wounded lion would still be a ferocious beast. And I’d never believe such a mighty race would be void of great talents amidst their paragons.

But as I confirmed the size and locations of my trophy, I started to gather up my rewards.

I selected the closest location and instantly flashed towards it.

pAn,da n<0,>v,e1 “Stop him!”

“Attack with everything you can!”

“Just hold on, reinforcements are on the way!”

Just as I went closer, many angry shouts roared from down below. They all came from generals, as they led everyone around in this room to welcome me.

But who could stand a chance against my glaive? I simply crashed everyone away, taking care to not harm my future capable generals, before attacking the two paragons here.

The two had shields just like what Matte had. “Surrender or die!” I kept hammering that shield without showing any mercy. At the same time, I let my little personal army to clash and stop the enraged Hescos and generals.

I made sure to warn them from killing too much, only they had to wound them. I had my technique running as I controlled it using my left hand. So all of them would end up serving me.

“I concede!”

“I surrender! Don’t kill me!”

The two were indeed weaklings and cowards, not much better than Matte. I didn’t spare them another glance while throwing two contracts in their direction.

I’d better spend my time to gain more of the Hescos around than getting these useless bunch of spoiled brats. I still couldn’t believe how such a high race would have these useless kids at the top of the chain of command and authority.

If all the Hescos were like that, then that race wouldn’t last for more than a few decades or at most a century.

Yet I knew of someone who had a terrifying artefact. I doubted such a dude would be like these weaklings.

All I saw wearing purple coloured suits were scared and petrified in their spots out of fear. So that dude wasn’t in any of the five rooms I sat my gaze upon.

But where could he run to? The entire place got exposed, and this base was already in my grasp. Sooner or later, that dude would appear and expose himself.

After gaining control of these two useless paragons, I waited for a few minutes before taking control of the generals and most of the elite forces in the room and tunnels connected to it.

Then I moved out after letting the two paragons and the generals board my chariot.

I gained twelve generals just from this room alone. If my luck was the same as the other rooms, then my total gain from this base alone was enough to make me quite satisfied.

As for these useless paragons, I’d empty them off their treasures and artefacts first before throwing them at my second Earth world to live there without causing any trouble.

These folks should be left at home, live a life of peace and not take any charge of anything.

The next two rooms were the same. I got tons of forces, two and three paragons from each of these two rooms, and a total of forty-two generals so far.

Seeing the red suits standing in front of me made me evilly grin.

As I gained their support, many started to ask freely about the legendary Hescos. It seemed even to these capable generals, the presence of such a long lost breed of their race came as a shock to them.

I didn’t say anything, and Matte took the task of explaining things over to everyone. He just kept talking about how magical I summoned these legendary Hescos out of thin air, and how terrifyingly strong and formidable I was.

I let this chicken speak about me and magnified my image in the eyes of everyone and went towards the fourth room.

*Bang!*

Just before I’d arrived there, a loud bang erupted as a giant fist slammed heavily on my chariot.

And with that loud bang, a fierce shout came from further ahead.

“You won’t take a single step further.”

“At last,” when I saw this familiar artefact getting used, and heard that angry shout, I couldn’t help but laugh.

The one that I sat my eyes on started to move, at last!
