This time I saw it clearly. Just as the waves of attacks landed down from my forces at the city, something flashed forming a thin layer that protected the city buildings.

I didn’t know what it was, and didn’t get a clear vision over the colour of that light. After all the attacks landed fiercely and exploded violently.

But it was enough to tell me that there was someone here protecting the city buildings. Who he was or what was his real purpose from doing that, I didn’t know.

Of course I hoped he would be a friend. But if not, then I’d have to kill him even if he worked this hard to preserve my two crown jewelled cities.

My fierce attack came as a big and unpleasant surprise to all the fighting forces down below.

Just as I was pouring hell over their heads, the Hectors pushed their forces, slightly getting closer to aim at my chariot.

But before they could start attacking, I started to further move away from them in a calculated way. At the same time, I kept attacking relentlessly while the three races started to wake up from their initial shock.

It seemed these forces came from regions far from here. My fame wasn’t that big yet, not enough to let other races far away to know about my threatening presence.

Yet that also played quite well for my plan. I slowly kept moving away from that river, getting closer to the ocean.

Of course my plan wasn’t to go there. If the small ponds of water had gates in their bottoms, then the ocean wouldn’t?

I was aware of the presence of another force of monsters at the ocean shore by now. These monsters were initially acting lazy, only standing idle until I started my sudden move and crossed the river.

Since then, they started to show noticeable movements, trying to arrange their forces to attack me.

Yet halfway through this part of Boston, I suddenly shifted my direction to the west. There were a bunch of small lakes scattered there in the distance, but they seemed to lack any presence of those annoying gates and aquatic monsters.

That was good news for me. After all, my target was to just keep pestering all the hostile forces here, separating part of the Hector forces away from the Cambridge side.

Of course that came with attracting all the attention of the hostile forces of the three other races to me. By now, I was almost in the heart of Boston, tightly surrounded and closely chased by all the four races.

“See you later,” like a child playing and fooling around, I waved at all of them before finally releasing the real speed of my chariot.

In a flash my chariot passed a large distance while getting as high up as possible until I reached the shield. I didn’t stop there, as I kept moving towards Cambridge, finally crossing it in a span of a few minutes.

What I did was to attract the enemies like bees on honey, then I kept away the honey. So the bees would first be at loss, then they would turn from bees to deadly wasps!

After all, the four races gathered up here without properly arranging their formations, closely in contact with the other races they were hostile with.

With my absence, going as far as Cambridge city on the other side of the river, they would find no other enemy to fight except themselves.

Just as I crossed over to the other side of the river, the loud shouts of the brutal fight started, making me unable to control my laughs.

It didn’t need strength and numbers to win a war. Sometimes one man could make all the difference, all by himself.

I didn’t waste any further time after that. The next instant I summoned all my forces and even the Albany city monsters.

The first ten thousands I summoned were mostly killed before. So I had to summon another batch of them. It felt great watching my forces crash through all the lines of the enemy forces, letting them fall with muffled thudding sounds on the ground like pieces of dominoes.

And as I was finally acting against the Hector forces here, the human forces stationed nearby started to attack fiercely as well.

From the first minutes of this fight, I could tell apart two sides clearly from the human forces. One was fighting with much experience and admirable and quite familiar organisation, while the other looked messy and much weaker in comparison.

The numbers of two sides weren’t close. The organised side was mostly around thirty thousands, and the other side was over two hundred thousands.

But if you asked me which one was more effective here then the smaller side of course. And that wasn’t surprising at all. After all, this small group was the remaining part of that cult.

The fight started brutally from the start. With the presence of my Albany city monsters, I wasn’t worried about the fate of this battle.

Yet I also was aware that to end this fight for good, I had to go through the river and close the gates under the city.

I wanted to do that, but couldn’t. After all Things seemed a bit different here considering the presence of the two cities this close to each other.

So first I had to push back the enemy monsters, stabilise the situation, go down there and have a short word with people leading the human forces below.

I needed to know more details about the situation here. Also I wanted to ask about the strength and numbers of humans in the city.

I also needed to wait a bit longer until Wryly’s and Fang’s forces would come to me. After all, it would be better to fight with all the forces I could muster here.

So, first things first… Let’s go and smash those monsters and push them back all the way to the damn river they came from.
