But for some reason, he didn’t use his old habit of talking, making me have doubts about this.

Something… Something seemed off here.

I opened my map and started to closely inspect it. Everything was just fine there. The enemy forces were about to get slammed fiercely with mine coming from the castle, and they would push all the way to the enemy castle soon.

As for the middle two posts, things there were looking calm. The southern battle was still hot and I didn’t lose a single monster there.

So… Why was I feeling that something was missing?

“Damn! Ok, let me kill them first,” I waved my glaive fast at the remaining monsters on the enemy side and killed more than half.

Then the sense of danger kept rising up in my heart like never before.

If I was the enemy, then which place would hold the highest chance of winning? Which place held the highest support and aid?

It was the southern post my monsters were attacking! They were close to the post location, making that king have a better chance of wiping them out.

“Damn! He is going to use the silence tool!” it suddenly hit me! That bastard! He would use the silence tool and stop my forces from fighting for an entire second.

But… Was he so confident in his ability to wipe out my monsters there or what?

I didn’t know the answer to this. I left twenty-three monsters there.

It was a good number to kill, and that would place me at a disadvantage.

One thing would explain all this, that bastard had more monsters to summon. Or else why would he do it?

“What the f*ck?!!” I was about to use my staff when I got the idea of summoning my seven monsters and leaving them to aid the forces here.

But when I did that, the number I saw wasn’t seven, it was twenty-seven! Something seemed off! Twenty monsters were just added to my account!

Wait! I just killed twenty monsters! Would that mean killing other king’s monsters would count as adding monsters to your own?

Suddenly it hit me! He wasn’t just planning to kill a large number of monsters, but he was planning to summon them and use them in the next attack.

Damn! Lacking such little knowledge would have cost me more time and effort to kill that bastard.

But what was about that thing standing there motionless? Was it another treasure of his or what?

Just looking at him would tell you it was that king. But from his stance there motionless, I knew he would never be the king.

That king… He never kept his mouth shut all this long before!

What reassured me so far was that the forces down at the south were still intact. That meant he didn’t yet use that silence item.

I held my glaive in my right arm, and the staff in my left. I was ready for the final battle.

Damn! Killing such a cornered and wounded beast was really troublesome!

Once I passed through the portal, I saw another face of that king.

“Got you!”

“Got you!”

We said it at the same time! As if we both were sharing the same thought!

“Silence!”

We also said it at the same time, as if we were the same person.

For a second there, all forces froze and ended up without moving.

“Damn you! Silence!”

“Silence!”

Again I used another silence gadget, putting his forces in freeze mode just as he did to mine.

“Damn! How come you bought this much? Silence!”

This time he outplayed me using this one. But I wasn’t feeling any worry. It was just one second. What possible could happen in it?

“Hahaha, you might think this second won’t make a difference, right? Silence!”

Damn! He was more silent than I thought!

“Silence!”

And with the third silence, I knew he planned for me to fall into such an endless loop of freezing.

“And now for the most magnificent thing that you don’t know… The king is calling! Sacrifice all the posts and merge them here in this one! Expand! Cover up my damn enemy and kill him and his forces!”

Dammit! Just as I got freed, I saw this post at the forefront getting a sudden bright bronze light as if it was going to explode.

Then a fierce wave erupted, covering up ten miles at least behind me.

“I have no silence items again, but you won’t be able to survive this, human king!”

“Really?!” I raised an eyebrow before a booming explosion happened. It came from the direction of the post.

It was covered with a thick veil of bronzed fog, and now it expanded out of it, showing its real and scary face.

“All of the monsters in the middle and back… All gather up here!” I suddenly gave such an order before adding, “all my forces at the southern and middle paths… Gather up here!”

“Calling out reinforcements? Great move, but it’s not enough,” that king returned to talk carefreely when he got the upper hand, “this baby of mine will shoot any target anywhere at a distance of ten miles! Ten f*cking miles! That’s almost one tenth of the entire arena! Hahaha! You and your forces are doomed!”

*Zip!* *Zip!* Zip!*

Just as the new post went high in the air, showing its fierce size and shape, the three diamonds on its top started to launch deadly rays against me and two of my monsters.

“Not a chance!” But who said he got the last word here? I moved fast, using my speed advantage and hit the three rays in succession using my glaive and shield.

*Bang!* but the next thing that I felt was for me to be thrown high in the air, falling almost a hundred metres back.

“Retreat!” I hurriedly shouted even before I stood up, “always keep your distance not too far away.”
