Chapter 1046 The Problem Of My Technique
In less than ten minutes, and after retreating for hundreds of metres, I finally got rid of them. Well, not all of course, as I still had something with one of them; their leader.
“You… Are you a monster!” he was thrown back, but didn’t fall as I aimed this hit with much precision.
“Speaking as if you are a normal person yourself,” I watched a purple shield vanishing around him.
When he got hit, this shield kicked in and absorbed most of the hit. I knew he wasn’t a normal person, and he must have an item to protect his life.
“Compared to you, I’m nothing.”
“Then join me,” I finally made my offer, “I like you, like your little group here. Why won’t you all join me?”
“This… They are dead!”
“No, do you think such strong folks, carefully selected by you, would end up dying from such fall? I don’t buy that,” I shrugged before pointing at my glaive, “not to mention I aimed with the blunt side of my glaive, didn’t even try to hurt them that bad.”
“I won’t thank you.”
“I didn’t do it to get your thanks, but your loyalty.”
“Mine lies with my lord!”
“Then watch me kill him before swearing your loyalty over to me.”
“I won’t let you come closer…”
Just before he’d continue his word, my chariot suddenly appeared. Its shield slammed heavily at him, sending him flying off the wall.
“Don’t take it to the heart, it wasn’t personal,” I shouted at the edge of the wall while watching his body fly back, far away from this place, “I just got what I wanted to say and there is nothing else to do with you,” I muttered to myself while shifting my gaze towards the entire battlefield.
This little group did manage to consume half an hour, and this helped lots of forces to retreat off the walls and regroup with the central bulk of their forces around their lord.
Did they think this was enough? Not a chance!
During this time, my flying castle managed to create all the difference. Even with me getting stopped by this little group of elites, my army managed to control two walls and passed inside the huge land inside.
It was indeed a good feat to do it, but that wasn’t enough to secure my win here.
Putting the immense size of this territory, the large number of defensive buildings here, and the large number of forces standing between mine and that lord, it was still hard to decide the fate of this clash.
But right now I got myself freed at last. I could have killed those elites and gotten rid of them easily.
Yet I didn’t. I liked this little group. Even if they were just a group of a hundred, it seemed they followed a certain set of training, making me want them even more.
This set of training, harsh rules to select elites to join them was a good thing. Sending such fierce fighters over to my second Earth world, and letting them select from the huge pool of talents there was the best use of them.
Having just a hundred? I bet after they’d end touring my training grounds back there their number would be in thousands, or even more.
Just imagining the presence of such elites under my control was exciting.
I didn’t want just a bunch of elites, I wanted their way of selecting and training their group and expanding their numbers to such a terrifying scale.
Few thousand might look like a small number indeed. But it wasn’t. I faced a hard time trying to deal with just a hundred of them. Imagine thousands of them, how terrifying that would be.
They wouldn’t be an army, but a special hit force that would deal with troublesome enemies. Dealing with leaders, generals, and even lords and kings would be their speciality.
A hit force, assassins who would spread terror in the hearts and souls of my enemies… That would be the perfect role they’d play from now on.
But that would happen later. First I had to deal with their lord here and gain this territory under my wing.
If I had to select one lord out of the two then I’d say the one owning this piece of land here, the blue graded territory would be the one who owned and trained such a fearsome group.
But going at such a hassle for head on wasn’t possible. I was quite sure that dude was ready for me.
Going directly towards him would be a trap, one that I wouldn’t fall at.
First I got to change the course of this battle again. Unlike me, that lord got the home advantage. Not to mention his ability to keep summoning more troops here.
I could summon my soulers, but that wasn’t enough to change the fate of this battle in a short time.
“It’s time to try my technique out,” I didn’t try to use it before as there was a challenging catch for it.
Back at Earth and my second Earth worlds, and all the past battles, I depended mostly on my technique to shift any battle tide.
And that was a good reason for it. Any soldiers or enemies I attacked by my technique would end up serving me using contracts.
However in this world where the system got little control and contracts held no real value, my technique was greatly limited.
I could control enemies, but I knew that the moment I released the control over them, they’d regain their freedom again.
So I had a limited amount of power under my technique’s power, allowing me to only control a limited amount of forces at any time.
“I have to change my tactics then… Go, take control of those behind the front line,” I muttered while flying towards the frontline.
The frontline stretched for over a hundred mile, with lots of forces fighting against each other.
