Chapter 786 The Battling Arena - Part 3
The waves kept clashing fiercely forward like fighting waves of a wild ocean. At the same time, I got to see the distant enemy forces coming from the direction of the castle in the same manner.
Yet their numbers were a bit shorter than mine by almost ten percent. Also their bodies were smaller as well.
The fog was cleared by my forces for a limited distance at the enemy region, giving me the ability to clearly see their forces fighting with mine, getting killed and getting pushed back.
What was worthy of note was that not a single soldier of mine got killed so far. And that was thanks to my healing ability that covered almost the entire battling arena.
“You elevated them to almost level eight or something close to it, right?” I shook my head while imagining the frustrated look on the face of that king.
He planned all this depending on his readiness with enough energy currency to ensure his superiority here. Least he knew that he selected the wrong opponent for such a battle.
As I passed the path, I headed directly towards my post.
And just before reaching it, I could hear the loud noise of the violent battle going on there.
I could now see the flashes of lights coming from this battle. It seemed he also added magicians and flying soldiers to his army.
Once I got closer, I managed to see how fierce this fight was!
The three monsters I left behind already lost one, and another was half way to die.
It seemed my healing ability didn’t affect monsters, only sane races would get affected with it.
Despite losing these two, I didn’t feel any regret or bitterness.
They managed to stop an army of almost a thousand from reaching the post. And there was still one monster fighting lively against the enemy forces.
The enemy aligned themselves in three lines, with the infantry trying to contain the three monsters, and the magicians and archers hitting them from far.
However that wasn’t an easy task to do. The three beasts here were really strong. Their bodies were covered with these needles which looked much harder than I thought.
The enemy had to rain down their attacks for more than two minutes to wound one of them.
In return, my three monsters started a killing spree in the enemy forces. It seemed that levels weren’t the same in soldiers and monsters.
In my eyes, each one level of monsters would equal ten levels of the spawned soldiers.
This meant that the king led forces of level eighty or something, and were facing level ninety soldiers.
If they were dealing with the three monsters alone, then things wouldn’t get this complicated. However the post at the back kept firing deadly rays that killed anyone it touched.
The enemy was already inside the detecting circle of my post. And once they got entangled with my monsters, they got attacked without having any way to defend or evade.
Three monsters acted as the frontline fodders, while the real killer was my post.
“Damn you, human king! What the hell did you do here?!!” Just as I arrived, I got to see the face of that Hector king for the first time.
I had to admit, I sucked greatly at getting the age of any Hector. In my eyes, that dude was just as young and energetic as Lily.
But I knew he was too old to be from Lily’s father’s generation.
“I just played by the rules,” I laughed before pointing my glaive at the forces entangled and struggling under the attacks of my post, “it seems you brought lots of forces here. Tell me how and I will ease your passing at the end.”
“Screw you! Go and figure this out on your own!” he shouted in a very different attitude than the carefree one he showed me before coming here.
The situation greatly changed. The battle he thought was going smoother than anyone else he had was getting out of his control.
The enemy he thought was a mere fly, ready to squash him with his feet at any moment he desired, turned out to be a fierce dragon.
I grinned as I looked directly at that king in the eye.
“Then let me figure out things on my own then… Come out!”
If three monsters caused all this trouble for his thousand forces, what would five more would do then?
I was sure he didn’t just bring one thousand forces here. The dead bodies thrown all over the place told me he brought two or three thousands at least.
“Dammit! You have more of those Savages!!” and when my monsters appeared next to me, that king exclaimed in such shock and clear fear.
“Retreat!” and without any hesitation, he shouted, issued an order for his forces to break free from the fight and run back to the castle.
“Kill them!” But who said he could leave this easily? I knew I couldn’t stop him with just my seven monsters, with one with one leg through the door of death.
But at least I could take with me more than half of his forces.
I knew he would gain another army by each passing minute. But that didn’t mean I’d let a chance of killing his forces slip by like this.
And also I wanted to further crush his mentality. Having such a blow would affect him more than he’d even expect.
After all, this came from the enemy he was looking down at till this clash started.
“Damn you! I will kill you with my bare hands!” and he already went down the path of no return. I laughed to add more fuel to his rage, clouding all the logic from his mind.
I watched him run fast while less than one third of his forces left after him. I didn’t need to check the map to know his current location.
He needed five minutes to go back and forth from his castle, at least. So I had five free minutes to do whatever I wanted.
