Chapter 462 [Bonus chapter] He Finally Woke Up

All I did was to release my own monsters over all of them. And at the same time, I went to control new monsters from the surroundings.

Like before, with my arrival, and in half an hour all the portals would be closed. That made the fight end up between me and those races.

Controlling these cities and towns was easy now for me. Just take control of their gates either on the ground or under water, then clearing all the hostile forces there.

Like this I started a big massacre against these forces. To be fair, they were heavily burdened with the last big war losses with me.

So fighting so soon against me and having to clash against such fierce and evolved monsters left them no chance at all.

But that took more time than before. Taking control of big cities and towns took hours. Yet it was worth it.

I took another day to reach the southern coast, ending up at the coast of Mississippi.

Once reached there, I let my monsters scatter freely. I visited most of the places under my kingdom. And right now my territory expanded from the eastern coast all the way to an imaginary line extending from Wisconsin at north down to Mississippi at south.

I haven’t visited Gang’s territory yet. As for Wryly’s forces, I just passed by them occasionally when I was up north.

“It’s enough for now,” seeing the endless million army of my monsters spreading all across my territory made me satisfied. “Time to go home.”

I left for two days, and participated in such an unplanned fight for such a long time. I needed to rest, have my moment of peace, and see what my team was doing.

[Hey, you didn’t respond to me yet] during the journey back, I had time to ask lady green nymph about what I asked her for.

All this time and not a single word from her. It was weird. She used to act swiftly and respond to me in a short time, not like this.

Two entire days passed already without getting a response back, weird indeed.

[I didn’t get any response yet. Sorry about all that time, but my boss is still hesitant about making a decision]

[One hundred thousand bones]

[I beg your pardon?]

[I’m willing to pay one hundred thousand bones for each of the two secrets]

I hated being on the hold like this. I knew that the boss was weighing the trouble of telling me versus benefits. So I just had to give up such a big offer, one that would be crazy from him to turn it down.

[Are you sure? You know this is really an insane amount!]

[Just tell him that] I paused before adding, [Also tell him my time is precious. If I didn’t get an answer during the next five hours, I’ll start looking for other places to get such things from]

[No wait… Wait, be patient please. Why acting so rash?]

[I already waited long enough]

[Ok, ok, let me go and speak with him again] she paused before adding, [But promise me to wait for my answer. We dealt together for enough time to be considered friends, right? You shall be lenient towards friends]

[I am, but don’t let me wait for much longer. I have limits to my patience]

[I swear things will turn out as you want. Just don’t be haste and wait for my message]

Of course she got scared! Just thinking about losing me for other impacts was something risky. It wasn’t just me going out there and asking for help from another impact, it was like me leaving the impact and looking for another to satisfy my needs.

Losing such a customer like me and over such a big and rich offer was something only crazy would do. So I knew she was going to convince him, and bring me the good news.

As I closed the chat with her, I did nothing but to relax on the roof of my chariot. I rested my head on the thick arm of a Gollam for an unknown period of time before a silhouette of someone appeared from the stairs.

It was a tall person with one arm. Just seeing him made me smile.

“Finally you woke up, you gave me a scare by all this time of rest,” I said in welcome, while motioning for him to sit by my side.

“Sorry, but…” he paused and looking at that look of trouble on his face made me sigh inwardly.

“It’s not that bad to serve me.”

“Don’t say it this way… Not when…” he lowered his head. I knew he was referring to the secret of him being a girl using camouflage to cover up her face and turn her into a man.

But for me, he would be a dude, just like another close person to me.

“I told you before, you aren’t the first one with such a troublesome background… Just forget about this and tell me, how is your injury now?”

He lowered his head towards the root of his arm. That move was still fresh in my mind just like it happened now.

It wasn’t that easy for someone to make such a decision, and he took it in such fierceness and decisiveness worthy of my admiration.

“It will take longer to heal,” he said with a long sigh, “so don’t expect much from me in the current time being.”

“I don’t plan to,” I smiled, “but once I’m ready and you are, I promise you to be very busy with many tasks.”

“What? Are you planning to work me to death or something?” he said in a fake panic, and I grinned evilly.

I knew such a courageous girl who decided to take such a hard path of being a man wouldn’t get scared easily. Damn! She didn’t even get scared when she severed her arm.

This girl… I was sure that nothing in the world would scare her, perhaps only death would do that.
