687 A Bloody Fight At The Bridge
“This is my home as well,” for a reason, I felt this place was better suited to me than the peaceful life I experienced during the past few months.
I trained, lived in a peaceful world, and watched my capital, cities, and towns rise up.
Yet I never felt such adrenaline and excitement when I achieved all this like I was feeling right now. The thrill of crushing down enemies and ruling over them no matter how hard they resisted, was enough for me.
“Let’s end this then,” I summoned my chariot, let my girl rise high up in the air, before making my first technique again.
Watch me bastards as I get back!
The threads exploded out of my technique, hungrily running and attacking the aquatic monsters. The monsters weren’t alone, as they were boarded with Hectors.
I didn’t know how they remained under water for all this time without getting suffocated. As far as I knew, Hectors weren’t an aquatic race, right?
Or were these fine scales a sign for them being so? I had to ask Lily later on about that..
For now, I started attacking the monsters first. They were their ride, and controlling them would stumble the advancement speed and limit the movement of these Hectors.
Besides, it was much faster to control a monster than to control a Hector dude.
I knew how hard it was to control races, not to mention Hectors.
As I planned, the monsters once controlled started to act a little berserk before they followed my orders.
And my order was simple; make the riders on your back fall into water and then attack them.
I wanted to interrupt the current fierce momentum of such a terrifying race. I witnessed lots of Hector’s fighting, either by my side or against me.
They were organised, well trained, and knew no fear. Just a small group of them was enough to bring enough trouble for me and my enemies alike.
So I wanted first to keep them busy fighting against useless monsters while my threads worked their magic against the real goals.
I first hit monsters they rode, then as they got controlled in a few seconds, more threads came out and attacked those on its back.
This made any Hector on the back of these aquatic monsters get infected. And during the fight that lasted for a few minutes, these Hectors ended up under my control.
“Sign the contracts!” I didn’t delay and sent the order while spreading contracts over.
I controlled lots of Hectors in the first few minutes since I came here. But that wasn’t even close enough. Just as I was waiting for the Hectors to get controlled, I attacked more monsters, dropping the Hectors on their back before attacking them.
This created enough chaos at some point to make the fierce attack of Hector’s face lots of problems.
During the first hour of my arrival here, the Hectors held the upper hand. They never stopped attacking, and managed to cause damage at many points of the bridge.
The bridge extended for many miles up front. So it wasn’t easy for me or my forces to defend it against such a brutal attack.
However, just after the first hour, and as I kept moving around the entire bridge, I managed to create enough disturbance to make the attack pause for the first time.
The water churned with deep red colour from the death of many monsters and lots of Hectors. The fight between the two was brutal, but most of the losses came when I created chaos.
At this moment, my forces found their chance to kill lots of Hectors. Then the fight between my Hectors and their former friends and allies caused more casualties.
At last was the effect of a direct clash between my forces defending here and them.
Among these forces, the ones stationed in the underwater forts caused the most damage without doubt. These races didn’t look that fierce to me.
But for a reason, and perhaps thanks to the forts underwater, they managed to kill lots of Hectors.
Looking at this water fight from high above made me inwardly sigh. The Hectors were really such a mighty race. Even when they came unprepared, they brought such a large army that was this close from taking down the bridge.
And this wasn’t the full scale of their assault! In addition to their forces attacking with other races at the northern gulf, there were many who came out on the shore of their continent, and tried to surround the close by four generals of mine.
Of course I got lots of screaming and cursing messages from Fang and the jumper, but I ignored them all.
Right now my full focus was on stabilising the fight here and securing the bridge. Next I’d think of a way to come and help them.
So they had to deal with this kind of attack, wait for my timely arrival.
Despite things looking bad, they weren’t that bad in my eyes. To me, the enemy was pressing forward with everything he got.
So when we’d survive this **ty time, they would look weak. Then my retaliation would really begin.
Losing forces wasn’t a pleasant thing for me. However I was in such a situation where I had to choose between different types of losses.
I cared more about the final result of this war, the general look of the map describing the reigns of each force here.
That was what I kept in mind while pressing over the Hectors coming at my bridge. I could spare part of my attention and help those four out there, but that would place more danger over the bridge.
After all, once the northern battle would be concluded in my favour, I’d bring all the remaining forces here.
Without a bridge, an intact and secured bridge, how could they join and help?
So for the next seven hours, I kept fighting fervently using my technique. I signed tons of contracts, most of their owners were lying dead at the bottom of this ocean.
