I fed up my newly summoned fallen gods with stat points, and decided to leave behind five of them. I also left half of the Selvagiters warriors I got from Fang, in addition to half of my soulers.

By this I decided to set up most of my elite troops here. I knew that the bastard was trying to escape from this direction. So I planned this to make this city turn into a trap.

I’d push him from south starting from Paterson, then close up his retreat path from Middletown, ending the fight here.

Or that was what I had in mind based on my expectations.

Then I went to Middletown. There I planted Two fallen gods, alongside half of everything I got so far.

“Last stop… Paterson city,” I activated my teleport using the staff and the moment I appeared in the damaged city, I saw a big battle going on all over it!

Literally a big number of enemy forces reached the city early on. Monsters were everywhere, led by a few races.

I looked over and saw Fang fighting here by himself. That dude came all the way here without even telling me about it. He was leading a grand force of his, fighting brutally against the crushing numbers of enemies coming from everywhere.

You didn’t me you’ll come! I sent this message while summoning my chariot first. Then I called forth my Gollems, Bulltors, and shield warriors to take the charge of the defensive platforms here.

Activating the fully powered version of my chariot, my girl started to kick asses here without warning.

You came at last! he seemed to be pressured despite him looking all fine. This is just the vanguard unit of the enemy. I believe the main force of the army is about to arrive in the next half an hour

Let’s get rid of these flies then I called my three remaining fallen gods and let them go in three different directions. Each one had already consumed five of the essence of the illusionist god aura, enough to sustain for one hundred consecutive uses of their ultimate attacks.

*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*

Fighting against such a weak yet massive number of enemies, exceeding one hundred thousand at least, wasn’t a hurdle for my fallen gods.

The three launched their attacks and killed almost twenty thousand in three dense places filled with enemies.

The three I got were of the lightning fallen gods, my strongest fallen god I had so far.

Damn! Are these yours?!! Just after the first wave of attacks, Fang sent this message that made me laugh.

Don’t ask for them, they aren’t for sale bro I sent back and he was so affected by their overbearing strength to the point that he dropped his ego this time.

I want some, I’m willing to pay a rich price for them I looked over his message and thought back about his contribution with me during the past.

He wasn’t a bad fellow, but he wasn’t one of my men. He still held his race first on top of my alliance. So even if he proposed something nice, I wouldn’t risk giving him such a lethal weapon.

Who knew? A time might come when the two of us would raise blades at each other’s throat!

Sorry pal, they aren’t for sale I sent my decisive refusal and he had nothing to do but to accept what I said for now.

Let’s talk about it later then yet he didn’t totally drop this matter. And he was excused to do so. After all, my fallen gods landed their hammers heavily over the heads of those enemies all over the city, killing a large chunk of them in mere minutes!

Seeing such a scene had its own impact over someone as Fang. but I doubted he would be able to change my mind about this.

Despite my deadly start, and the killing of a large number of enemies at first, the battle extended on for over an hour.

These enemies never retreated as if they weren’t fearing death. As they learnt their lessons, they never packed themselves in large numbers.

This made the task of my fallen gods to kill them slightly harder, or to be precise it took longer time than what I expected.

At some point, it was fruitless to waste the deadly attacks of my fallen gods over them. So I simply summoned the rest of my soulers and Selvagiters, and let them loose over the scattered enemies.

“Hold back your attacks,” I shouted at the three fallen gods, “just kill them using your spears.”

The enemy wasn’t that hard to kill using their spears. This would only elongate the battle, yet it would save a lot of energy for later on.

After one hour, the entire city was covered literally in dead bodies. Fang came on board and stood by my side, panting while his silver shining armour was now dimmed by the blood covering it.

“This is weird…” As I looked around, I couldn’t help but frown.

“That army didn’t come, right?” Fang said in between his ragged breaths and I nodded.

It was supposed for that big army to come here half an hour ago. I didn’t feel great about it so I simply called back two of my soulers, one from each city.

“Lord,” the soulers bowed while the dense dark fog emanated from them made Fang’s eyes change slightly. This dude seemed to take sudden interest in my forces for unknown reasons.

What? Did him acquiring this mega gate change something in his plans? Or might it have raised his expectations and dreams here?

“What happened in your cities?” I asked while I kept feeling uneasy about this.

“Answering lord, there is nothing at all,” one of the soulers said while the other added:

“That’s also the case in my city. We waited for the enemy to arrive but nothing came to sight so far.”

“Weird…” I turned to look at Fang who understood the meaning of my gaze.
