For sure Fang would be promoted. It wasn’t even impossible for Wryly to have the same treatment. Aside from that, the sheer number of humans I’d get from these states would be numbered in millions or even tens of millions.

I looked at this map not at its current state. I started to draw lines in my mind, separating the territories of the three of us partaking in this coalition army.

The east side… I had to get my hand on the east side of this entire region. If I could get my hands over Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky, drawing a line from there all the way up to the ocean, then I’d be satisfied.

By this, my territory would be connected, grouped in one mass, and easily protected. I’d also end up having various lands with different resources.

Besides, I’d get my access to Canada up North, the new lands which would appear instead of the Atlantic ocean in the East, and also still had access to the rest of the continent from Indiana.

Illinois would be a state that I’d have to give up for now. Later on this one would work as my own path towards the west of this continent.

As for Selvators, I’d try my best to place Fang against that dude at Missouri. I’d help Fang to switch his forces down to the south, acting as an insulator layer, protecting the southern borders of my entire land.

As for Wryly, I’d also try to replace that archlord at Wisconsin with him, letting him expand his territory further to the west.

Well, to be frank, playing Wryly wasn’t that hard. Yet that Fang was a pain in the as*. I’d figure something out when the entire battle would heat up.

But for now, it was a priority to start training and preparing for this battle. After all, the biggest fight wouldn’t occur by our arrival, but at the last days of the third quest and even at the early days of the fourth one.

Those dragon archlords coming to get this region would prove to be hard to contend against. Besides, I now knew the foothold of one of them. But from where the second archlord would come from?

I had to ask Fang about this.

“Does our courageous leader have a plan or something?”

That jumper interrupted my line of thoughts. “I’ll tell you once I make everything ready,” I said before turning to the map, “from now on, we need to focus to exert our total control over the side of New York. we have to do it in less than five days.”

“But our forces are scattered to chase and hunt down those dragons,” Karoline said and of course I knew that.

“I’ll give you all one day,” I said seriously, “you have to completely repair the walls before then.”

“And then what?” Hilary asked.

“You will get your army by then,” I said, telling her that I didn’t forget about what I promised her before, “then you’ll work together to control everything towards the ocean.”

“What about you?” The jumper left everything and as usual, was focused on me, “what are you going to do during all this time?”

“I have something to work upon,” I said without delving into details, “once you control Massachusetts, I’ll come and have another important meeting with all of you.”

“A war meeting?” Hilary asked in excitement, but I shook my head to disappoint her.

“It’s a meeting for the future,” I was the only one knowing everything about how important this meeting would be.

After all, it would be about how to turn the useless human firearm into something that could be used in this apocalypse.

“Ah, please spread the word among your forces,” thinking about that reminded me of another task that I almost forgot, “select a few to go and record the details of each of our forces. Make sure they would also use compasses to detect the traitors and help cleansing our forces from these parasites.”

“What do you want this info for?” The jumper’s keen eyes spotted the most important thing in what I said.

“I need certain people from them,” I said, “but first make sure to record and organise everything. I’ll later tell you about whom I’m looking for.”

“Ok mysterious man,” Hilary said before leaning in a tempting way over my shoulder, “if you think acting mysterious is sexy then I’m here to tell you that… It’s hellishly sexy indeed!”

“Slut!” from the side I could see Karoline’s eyes rolling up while a look of disdain appeared over her face. Hilary scoffed back at her before she stretched her neck, reached to my cheek and left a soft imprint from her lips there.

“This is just a pay front before we conquer everyone,” she freshly jumped away, walking like she was strolling or something, “after our win, I promise to let you have a decent feast that you never tasted before.”

“Slut!” Karoline said with the jumper in the same moment, and I simply decided to ignore all of this.

If I was forced between two girls, then why wouldn’t I enjoy myself in the process? As for which girl I’d choose, I’d leave this task for my heart to decide.

Yet I had to give credit to Karoline. After all, she held a special place deep in there. But her foe wasn’t someone to be taken lightly. Well… I’d wait and watch from the side while enjoying myself at the same time.

Just as I watched the three of them walking away from the top of my chariot, a message popped up in front of my eyes.

The gods from your Ultras have finished their admission spree

They sent you a message requesting a meeting with their representative

Another god says he was the one who sent you a message before. He is also asking for a meeting as well

I looked up at the sky before asking in calm tone:

“Can the system help me in determining if he was the one to send me this message or not?”

He says the content of the talk you two had was encrypted. So no one else knows about what you two talked about from other gods

“Then let him give me a reminder of what he said.”
