After I closed his chat and ignored the rest of his messages during the next few hours, more messages of more sightseeing of enemy forces coming out from tunnels started to come.
And with these, reports started to come from the riders I left to watch the Hector continent.
[Lord, there is a movement on that continent!]
[Lord! Forces are coming out! They aren’t much yet, but they all had aquatic big beasts to ride on their backs]
“Here it started,” I muttered to myself when I read all these reports. It seemed the enemy lost hope at getting rid of my Lily, Isac, or any of the other two strong forces.
Wherever monsters appeared around the capital, I informed Alex and told her to send a small army to stop them.
This way I kept the four big armies intact, waiting for the big battle.
And here it came!
[Listen up, forces are coming from the East and north. Get ready] I sent this to all of the three. As for Isac, I kept informing her with all updates, stressing over not moving out until it was absolutely needed..
And I warned her to move out and help the nearby spearhead under any circumstances! That jerk had to face the aftermath of his arrogance.
The other three armies near the capital, Lily’s, Sara’s, and Leo’s were ready to move out. But the first to move wasn’t any of them.
It was me.
I got the news already. The monsters and mercenaries started pouring from the huge tunnels at Niagara falls. I knew this bastard would come from there, and that was why he tried to clear the area south of it so his forces could gather without any interruption.
But dude… I waited for you for almost half a day! I would come and say hi to you and your forces.
[Keep tracking them and don’t engage] I sent this to the female dragon and monster riders, [Keep me posted about their direction and position all the time]
I already guessed where they were going. But I had to make sure I didn’t miss anything. That enemy taught me many lessons before thanks to me underestimating him.
Yet this time I’d make sure that any single move of him or his forces or allies would be closely monitored by me. As he was watching me closely thanks to the dirty angels, I had my own boys to keep an eye on his movements as well.
I moved out towards Niagara falls. They were located just near the big gulf here. However I didn’t rush and summon my forces.
I had to first lay my eyes over the forces coming out and assess the situation.
It took me almost two hours to arrive there. During which, more reports of the watchful teams all over my kingdom kept pouring in.
That bastard never ceased to try and lure my armies into useless battles. He even sent many of his forces towards Isac at that volcano, ending up starting a fight there.
But I stressed over Isac to only let a small part of her army do that. She did as I asked, but I knew it was going to be hard considering that bastard’s persistence to keep her entangled.
[Start moving out] As Isac was going to be removed out of the picture by all this, I decided to use the help of another powerhouse of mine, [Move towards my capital]
[Capital? Not north?] The jumper seemed a bit startled, and I had to explain things to him.
[So the north will be handled by you, and the fight over the Hector continent will be handed over to me? I like that!]
[You like Hectors so much]
[They are arrogant to think they can come here and have their way. Let me teach them a lesson]
[Just make sure to avoid any unneeded fights. Save up your aquatic monsters as they will be your ticket to that continent]
[I’m not that stupid or slow, not like those around you at least]
[You are around me, idiot!]
[I’m different]
[Yes, a man with a mask]
[What’s between you and my beautiful mask? I can’t get it!]
[It’s ugly! Don’t you have a mirror?]
[It’s a piece of art! I designed it myself!]
[That’s why then…]
[Bastard! I’m in a good mood now so I won’t ruin it speaking with you. Bye!]
That dude… he seemed to get excited about fighting Hector. At least he wasn’t going to clash with the northern overlord of humans, or fall into a trap somewhere.
As he moved out, I knew he would take roughly twelve up to twenty hours to move from his location to here.
Luckily the northern regions were slightly under my forces’ control. I let him arrange how to move to the capital with Isabella.
“Hmm… That’s not the force I was waiting for!”
Just as I arrived near Niagara falls, I found a big army waiting for me there. However, the size and magnitude of this army wasn’t anything close to what I expected.
?[0)??? I thought the army would stretch for tens of miles, covering up a large area to make me feel a little despair.
But what I saw was a small army, one that only covered a couple of miles. It wasn’t that big, didn’t look that strong, and they stood in their place motionless, seemingly waiting for my arrival.
“So you want to entangle me here while you move from the rear? Let me play with you a little then…”
Despite knowing this was a fluke, I decided to go through it. I was growing bored of that bastard’s little tricks.
I had to force him out with his big army. I thought he would come from here, but for a reason he was wary to fight me head on.
So he had to lure me here while he would come out from the Eastern side of this gulf.
With the ability to summon monsters and mercenaries using portals, he could start his war from anywhere he wanted.
And I had to just feign my fall into his trap to make him start moving out.
