Damn! How many mega gates do you have? he was smart enough to get my point here, Last time I checked, you only got one

There is another one nearby, so I can get you two

Two!!! he seemed to be shocked as this came out of the blue for him. If so… Then the number of human camps can be reduced to five instead of ten. Regarding the warriors… I don’t have that much under my control

How much can you offer then? that dude was bargaining here. I didn’t have anything to lose. After all, anything I’d get here would be considered my win.

One thousand is good for you?

Make it five

I can pay mostly two!

Three and we won’t discuss about this again I gave him my final offer before adding, Don’t forget, I never bargained about the human camps you’ll give for me

Sigh… Alright, I’ll send a contract over for you to sign he sent before adding while the contract arrived by the system, Just note that this deal is regarding the mega gates conquered by you, not just under control of another race

I get it I signed the contract before it turned into specks of golden light, Now it’s active. Prepare your price and then send your people to claim this gate

Will you wait here for long?

I have to clean my loot I shrugged before turning off the chat with him. I had a lot to gather from this city. After all, the enemy gathered up lots of forces here and I had a lot of elites to loot their inventory and take bones from.

Besides the ongoing mission for collecting those priceless shreds of energy from all over the city.

“This was a nice battle!”

Just after two hours, Fang didn’t message me about his price yet. Just as I was gathering up all the loot I could find from all over the city with the help of my army, Wryly came with his own gang.

“What an army you have here… You are growing stronger like a rocket, bro! I’m happy for you.”

That dude was a pure hearted one. I got Fang in my pocket, and now I greedily eye those warmongers with greedier eyes.

After all, my hardest battle wasn’t the one against that pathetic archlord. It was against that terrifying dragon archlord.

“What do you have to do next?” I asked while praying over his current plans.

“Nothing much,” he shrugged, “I have to keep roaming the world and looking for such interesting battles to fight.”

“Without me, you’ll miss a lot of action,” I threw my bait and like a good boy, he barked instantly at it.

“Really? Do you have another big fight coming up?”

“Two actually,” I raised two fingers in the air, “one is just at the corner. If you are interested, you are welcome to hump in.”

“This…” he looked at me in slight hesitation. I knew it wasn’t that hard to grab that dude into my pocket, not as hard as Fang at least.

“You know this fight here?” I moved my sword around, reminding him of the brutal fight that he called an interesting moment ago, “it was against an archlord of the illusionists.”

“Damn me! That’s why this fight was that fun then,” he laughed as if he was hearing a joke.

“And that dude is just in a nearby city waiting for me to come and kill him,” I said while smiling in return for his laughs.

“You aren’t joking here, right?” he suddenly turned all serious and I shook my head.

“Since when I was the kind to fool around? He is there, and he is amassing all the forces he could, preparing for a giant battle.”

“Damn! Boys, wrap things up… We have an archlord to slaughter,” he roared at his army all around before his eyes shone in brutal red light. “When are we going to move out?”

“Hmm… Give me three to five hours,” I said before adding when I noticed the look of disappointment over his face, “give that dude a chance to gather all the forces he can muster. After all, with my chariot around, we can go there in less than an hour.”

“Not more than three hours then,” Wryly said.

“Have another place to fight at?” I asked.

“I have a calling from my archlord,” he said, “there is a big set up in the centre of the continent. Some dude is wreaking havoc there.”

Just hearing that made me recall what Fang told me before. “Is he a human?” I asked, and from the shock over Wryly’s face, I knew I guessed it right.

“Don’t take it wrong, bro… I highly value you. This isn’t the case against that deadly foe.”

“Is he that strong?” I asked and he shook his head.

“It’s a girl,” he threw a bomb before adding, “a young and alluring young human fighter that made even one of my paragons set his gaze upon her.”

“Oh… I never expected that,” I murmured while thinking back about the history I knew by heart, ‘Will I finally meet one of those legendary figures who helped to establish that grand kingdom in the west of the US?’ I thought to myself before talking to Wryly:

“If possible, can you arrange a meeting for me with her?”

“What?” Wryly gave me a weird look, “are you interested in competing with my paragon over her heart and soul?”

That dude! What did he think of me exactly? I wasn’t the one walking around with my thing held on my shoulder dude!

“If she is half of what I heard about her then it’s a waste to not ally with her,” I frankly said, “if she chose your paragon to be her man, then I have no objections to that.”

“Oh, a love duel is coming from the horizon… I can see it, bro! I swear I can see it! Ooohhhaaa!” Yet that thick headed Berserker took my words all the way upside down!

Damn!
