169 The Battle Begins At Newark City
Ok as she complied, I called off my forces from this city alone. I left the rest back at the other cities, not risking for the angels to go and notify that bastard about this.
Who knew… Such a chicken trying to run away for its life might do anything to survive. He might change his course again and make me lose much time for that.
I wanted to leave but I had to wait for Fang to come back with my reinforcements. That bastard took half an hour before coming with the agreed Selvagiters.
Come on dude! Why didn’t you take a nap instead?
As I waited for him to come, I ate a few pieces of meat and drank water. I didn’t know why but at this moment I was feeling thirty like hell.
“Here,” he said while feeling proud and full of himself. Just seeing that dude like that made me want to punch him in the face.
*Fwoosh!* but in return I called back my chariot, letting him fall to the ground without warning.
“What was that for? Huh?!!” He knew I did that on purpose. I totally ignored him while gathering all the tokens of the warriors he brought over and then called them back.
“You deserve this,” I only said that before taking out my staff.
After I did so, I started my teleportation under the wrathful glaring red eyes of that dude and headed this time towards Newark city. I had to buy some time for my girl to retreat safely away to Elizabeth city, and also had to see with my own eyes where that bastard was.
The moment I got there, I found a spectacular scene in front of me. Up till the horizon, the land was literally covered with enemies.
Monsters formed the most of this army. “Sh*t! They already surrounded this city!” The situation was simply described as being hopeless.
But who said I would have to worry? Even facing such a colossal army, I didn’t doubt the ability of my chariot’s shield.
So why would I retreat? I have to start kiting this army and make its advance slowed down for a bit.
“Come forth,” seeing this I summoned first my three fallen gods alongside my soulers, Bulltors, and other warriors including the newly acquired Selvagiters.
The city was poorly defended by Selvators. This was expected. After all three gates belonged to them and two belonged to me.
Yet I saw slightly close to thirty thousand humans picking up arms and standing with Selvators around the city. Poor boys, don’t lose hope as I was here.
“Go,” I pointed towards one random direction as any direction had the same odds of danger, “all forces stay around my chariot. Try to keep up and don’t fall behind. We’ll charge in as a united force.”
It was the only thing I could do here. This city was considered as good as fallen. But I would put up a good fight before retreating back.
With the destruction of the star weapon, I knew there wouldn’t be a great danger here. The enemy lacked any gates under his control, so he wouldn’t try anything funny.
What that bastard got was just what he showed here around this city. If only that Fang wasn’t that thick headed and selfish, I might have gone greedy after a long time of defensive battle.
“Let’s go!” As everything was settled and my forces got themselves around my chariot, I started the fight.
The enemy kept standing in silence, trying to win this fight by crushing the morale of the defenders here. After all, who wouldn’t lose all hopes when faced with such adversities?
But with my sudden charge, and the shocking start in the form of the deadly attacks coming from my chariot, my ballista, my soulers, and my three fallen gods, things started to change.
That lost hope would be reignited, and the looking dead troops here would turn into a vicious cornered beast. Let them try to kill the troops here, they’d pay a hefty price to achieve that.
*Rumble!* *Boom!* *Bang!*
All kinds of explosions occurred all over my chariot. The first waves standing in front of me didn’t last for even ten seconds before a wide gap appeared.
My combination right now was the best I had, but it was enough to tremble the ground under the feet of my enemies. I didn’t target a wide scale fight. I wouldn’t be able to put up against such insane numbers with the few forces I got here.
“Follow the hero!”
“Fight for your lives!”
“Charge together!”
Just as I stood for a minute while waiting for my troops on the ground to clear the area of any hostile, I heard such shouts coming from many directions in the city.
I turned and saw all the humans here raising up their weapons and running as fast as they could towards my direction.
“Good boys,” I had to admit, their courage was something inspiring. They could have just waited behind and watched inside the city. Yet they abandoned safety for now and headed directly towards their enemies.
“That Fang did a good job with my boys,” I also had to give that bastard the credit he deserved. This attitude wasn’t a natural thing in humans, only taught and acquired from Selvators.
So by this change in the battle, I had to reconsider my tactics here. I aimed to kill as many as I got until the three fallen gods would exhaust their remaining supreme attacks.
Then I’d call all back, use the teleportation staff to get to another city and do the same. Yet by the courage these humans showed to me, how could I respond to them by running away?
“Alright, I’ll show you how mighty a human can be,” I thought this battle is not a battle to decrease the number of enemy forces. At this point, this battle turned totally into a battle of inspiration, one that would be written in the long standing records of history.
