The fight here was just a stepping stone to achieve this goal.


    Even if there were many yers here, it only made the stage bigger. The bigger the stage, the better the taste of victory would be.


    Also this battle here would prove without any room of doubt how valuable these two would be to their paragons. Ascending another step even wouldn’t be something impossible.


    I watched the excited Wryly leave my chariot fast with his elites, going in fast steps towards the West. One spear from East and another from West… The trap was already set.


    [Stay south of Frankfort and wait for my orders] I sent to all the teammates, [We’ll go south when the time is right]


    I came here first with the intention of going West as fast as possible. But in the end I had to adjust these ns.


    ording to Fang, if we just bypassed this army here, we’d be faced with another. I knew the different race archlords ced a great toll of price over my head.


    I didn’t mind any bounty indeed. In fact this was something to make me feel proud of. But Just rushing the army away from this army would end up entangling with a bigger army.


    And there was guarantee that the coalition army of Selvators and Dragons wouldn’t turn their des and aim these at me.


    There was only one way out of here, and that was by turning my army into a merciless grinding machine. Anything thrown at it must be killed and cleared first before taking a further step forward.


    I stood in my ce without any intention of moving. If I thought for a second that the Hectors weren’t’ spying on me, then I’d be greatly mistaken.


    After all, what separated me from them was less than fifty miles, a small distance to any army without doubt.


    “Hmm… Staying here without doing anything is really boring,” I sat over the extended arm of one of the Goms while eating and drinking.


    From time to time I’d check over the general moves of my forces and the enemies. As Fang said, the enemy army took almost two hours to reach the lower borders of Ohio.


    But they didn’t move towards the direction of my forces at Frankfort. For a reason they moved directly towards me.


    “I knew they’de at me,” when I read that warning message from Fang about their change of direction, I only grinned.


    Even Fang knew where I was. Then it was safe to assume that the iing army was also aware of that.


    ording to Fang, this big army was a mix between all the five races, led by six archlords. Berserkers sent two archlords here, seeming to ce a great importance over Michigan.


    Michigan in itself wasn’t that special, but as it was situated near my territory to the East and away from the mess at the centre, its location was indeed special.


    Per Fang’s words, each archlord brought at least two hundred thousand of his forces here, leaving also the same forces up there.


    “Even when they decided to work together against me, they still kept their forces in the north fighting? That’s hrious! What kind of an alliance is this?”


    When I read what Fang said, I couldn’t help butugh. They brought close to one million and half forces to face my over three million forces.


    Were they underestimating me or what?


    From the surface, I got the upper hand here. But something told me they weren’t just depending on their forces alone to crush me.


    If the numbers were close, then I’d say they’d depend on their strength and higher cultivation. But There was a big gap, making me look in another direction.


    “The other two armies are too far away from here,” I muttered before looking in a fixed way towards the south, “so the only exnation here is they had an agreement with them… Interesting…”


    This came to disturb my ns slightly. I nned this based on the enmity between all the forces here. But if they were on the same line, this might prove a little risky and hard to execute.


    Anyway I already went this far over my n. I had no back up, and had only to keep pushing forward.


    [They are less than twenty miles away]


    As I was lost in my thoughts about how to execute this, Fang’s words came to jolt me awake.


    [Where are you now?]


    [I’m at Virginia, waiting for your signal]


    [Be prepared] I paused, [This is going to be a really rough ride]


    [Just don’t throw me in front of those big dudes without a n]


    [Don’t be a coward]


    I knew he was teasing me nothing more. If he wasn’t trusting me in this n, he wouldn’t have listened to me and moved his army to be stationed there.


    [The Hectors are also gathering] he sent in warning, [But they are slightly away from your side, seemingly preparing to attack your big forces at Frankfort]


    [Ok]


    I expected them to do that. After all, I was standing alone, away from my forces. If I had to survive this attack, I had to run away and join my forces at Frankfort.


    So the Hectors moved in advance, to intercept me from running away.


    Well… Just seeing how the big map was unfolding in such a way just to trap me in here made meugh. I might have done lots of damage to many races… Well to all of them actually.


    Dragons… Berserkers… Selvators… Subus… Illusionists… And even Hectors… All tasted bitter defeats and major losses on my hands.


    It was something I didn’t regret. After all, being unique and outstanding didn’te without paying a price, a hefty one indeed.


    “Alright, it’s just about time,” in less than five minutes, the vanguard forces appeared from the front, making me grin.


    “Let’s start step one… Come out!”


    *Bang!*


    The first thing I used was my pir, the one I got from the Hectors. It came out in a loud bang and in such threatening demeanour in front of all the iing forces.
