Leave them for me I said, while turning my chariot up above the destroyed path, I’ll keep them busy for the time being. As for you, I’ll leave things here for you and the spearhead

That jumper went his way already? Quite impatient dude indeed!

I didn’t answer her as I turned my full attention towards controlling the army behind the blocked pass.

As Sara expected, they were trying their best to remove the rubble and rocks. But just when they started to do it, my threads came and started their magic to turn them into my forces.

“Retreat!”

“Kill those attacked by these cursed things!

Don’t stand together! Spread out! Spread out now!

In a few minutes, and with the absorption of the shock from the collapsed path and my appearance here, the generals of this huge army started to spread out orders..

“Got you!” but as they just gave such orders, I managed to pinpoint their locations. The next thing I did was to send lots of threads to control those at these places.

They gave the order for the soldiers to kill their friends and allies? Then let them get a taste of such a bitter cup then.

As I sent the threads over to them, the orders spreading around ceased all of sudden. It seemed I hit the brain of this army, and with this the entire army got paralyzed.

They got paralyzed, but I didn’t. It was my time to spread all the threads I could and infect many of them.

I even used the help of my bones, blue ones this time, to make sure they got infected and controlled fast.

I didn’t care about pushing them to sign my contracts. All I did was to increase the amount of my threads to reach as many as possible during this confusing moment.

But as any army, they have a chain of command. Taking the leaders down wasn’t enough to stop this chain. It managed to paralyse them for ten minutes, then shouts of new orders started to come again.

“Don’t stand like an idiot! Move around!”

“Kill those infected with the black things all around you. Or else you will get infected as well!”

“Why aren’t you hitting that damn chariot down? Take it down with everything we got!”

“Bingo! More smart as*ses to control,” I laughed while sending more threads towards the places which gave out such shouts.

They wouldn’t be as valuable as the generals I just controlled, but they would help to lead the armies later on.

With the second wave of leaders taken down, this time the silence lasted for a much longer time, enough for me to take control over almost a couple of hundreds of thousands of their forces.

“Retreat!” the order I waited for finally came. But who said I was going to let them loose?

My two generals inside were going to handle the enemy. I left more warriors for them to lead and help in controlling this huge basin.

As for me, I’d play the role of a troublemaker, starting fire all over the place, putting pressure over these Hectors to not have time to do anything stupid.

I patiently waited while watching the big army break into two halves, one went right and the other went left. I knew they were going to the nearest pass, joining the forces there and preparing to go for my boys.

“Alright folks, it’s time for you to show your worth,” I said while taking up my horn, “I want the generals of this army to step forward. Consider it your lucky day, as you are going to get a brand new army now!”

A group of ten moved from different directions, forcibly following my orders. I started signing contracts in batches and forced them to sign them.

“Come forth,” I summoned a large number of my warriors. I used slightly over five million so far, and many of them already died.

But I got more.

I summoned ten million this time, giving each leader a million to form an army.

“Two of you will remain here, defending this pass,” I said while holding my horn. “Six of you will go this way,” I pointed in the right direction, “kill and don’t stop even if you follow them into the depths of the basin.”

I paused for a second before pointing at the remaining two, “you will lead the rest of my forces, and I’ll help you. Go this way. Let’s start boys!”

I knew it was damn hard to accept such fierce and sudden change in roles. Just less than an hour ago, they were leading their forces to kill mine.

And now they were listening to my orders like loyal dogs, leading their armies to kill their race.

It wasn’t easy to accept such sudden change, but thanks to my contracts they had no option but to do it.

After all one’s life was priceless and nothing would stop anyone from holding tightly to it.

I sent the six armies towards the least in number retreating forces. According to my estimates, the enemy would bring the most forces they could to the biggest army they had.

That meant the pass at the left side from here held the bigger army. And I was leading my forces to chase after this one.

As for the other six armies, they had to just fight their way there at the right pass, causing enough trouble to give the enemy a great headache.

I had absolute confidence in their ability to rout the enemy there and enter the basin then join my big forces fighting there at the moment.

As for me, I kept controlling more Hectors while they were running as if their lives depended upon this.

It seemed they lost most of their mental strength at this moment. So I faced little resistance to control them, and instead of taking five minutes to control a single dude, it took only two or even less.
