Chapter 254 Heading To MIT

After ending up from that fight, I’d let my extra forces go inside and gain more stat points. This would help in shortening the gap between my forces and everyone else during these two quests.

Of course they took over one day to reach Ohio, but they’d take less than ten hours to retreat. Of course that included the time needed for Fang’s men to come and take over the frontline.

As for the jumper, that bastard seemed to have his fun time in repairing the walls. He didn’t even send me a single message ever since our last chat.

More than one day passed and he didn’t even finish repairing that wall? I couldn’t believe that! That dude was slacking, and I intended to go back to the city and teach him a proper lesson.

Do your work dude then slack as much as you wanted, that was what I had in mind while imagining myself punching that ugly mask of his, revealing his face.

“Come with me,” I said to the five generals before returning up to my chariot. I led them towards Albany city, controlling the speed of my chariot to not fly so fast ahead.

It took roughly an hour to arrive at the city. As I approached, I found all the holes under the walls being covered up and the city was already guarded tightly by my forces.

But I didn’t see the jumper anywhere on the walls. [Where are you?] as he didn’t come to meet me up, I sent over, thinking he was sleeping or something.

[I’m doing something of my own] yet he sent me such a weird message, [I’ll be absent for three days. I’ll come just one day before moving out]

He acted weird. [Do you want any help or something?] I asked while opening his channel, trying to see what he was doing.

The screen showed a vast stretch of ruins, and that jumper was standing there all by himself. He raised his sword as if he was facing a real enemy there,jumped around and moved his weapon before I realised what he was doing.

He was training. That dude was trying to hone something he learnt before. Was he preparing this hard for the upcoming fight?

[I’m ok by myself. Just don’t screw things up with Karoline]

[Keep your nose away from this matter] I sent over before adding, [I’ll wait for you in three days. Don’t take much longer than that]

I saw him practising for a few minutes before closing up his channel. That dude was finally taking things seriously, hopefully for the best.

The upcoming battle seemed to leave its shadow over everyone, him included. It was sad for him to not be here and witness my grand army of forces.

Of course I wasn’t regretting that too much. After all that dude was now trying to become stronger, something I wouldn’t say no to.

The city was restored and well protected by his forces. But it wasn’t feasible to let them rot here. My current three races forces were able to gain stat points at the upcoming two quests, but my human forces couldn’t.

So I decided to switch the defences here, leaving behind my new forces to guard this city of mine. As for the jumper’s forces, I started to lead them towards the direction of Massachusetts state.

There the two girls were having a lot of trouble dealing with their unexpected enemies. Despite the fact that these combined forces of weird races weren’t strong, they held the advantage in numbers.

The two girls led normal human forces. Without any strong powerhouses like my personal army of warriors, they couldn’t achieve victory except after losing much time.

Just during the two hours I wasted in going to Albany city and switching the defences there, they couldn’t take a single city or town yet. That gave me insights about what the true goal of my hidden enemies here was.

They wanted to delay my advance. Humph, if they tried this in the West, I’d not be bothered with it. But they tried to prevent me from going East. That was something I’d never allow to happen.

Karoline took the northern route, fighting at Fitchburg city. As for Hilary, she was in the south, fighting at Springfield city.

According to the map of that region, Karoline’s advance was a little better than Hilary. Of course that returned to the fact that Karoline was leading her seasoned fighters, not like Hilary.

Hilary’s army was recently formed. These humans still lacked the waring experience of Karoline’s boys.

My final goal was to reach all the way to the East, claiming the two jewels at that part; Cambridge and Boston cities.

MIT was located at Cambridge, while Boston was considered the biggest city here. It was also close to Cambridge. I wanted to control the two cities, unify them and form a brand new city.

If Albany city was considered to be my strongest fort, then this new city would be the heart of my kingdom. There I’d start my entire ambitious dream of turning the human arsenal into something apocalyptic-wise.

I already gave the order for the army forces in this region to gather up and take control over the two cities. Also I asked the army private companies to move everything they got towards MIT campus.

I’d use the brilliant minds of students and professors there, coupled with all the technology and equipment inside that university to turn the human arsenal brought by these defence contractors into something useful.

Of course the plan in my mind would take a long time to proceed and bring the first fruitful results to me and my forces. But I had to start, or else I’d be much delayed in seeing the results.

I had three options now, either to go north and help Karoline, go south and help Hilary, or act as a separate force, heading midway and going directly towards Cambridge and Boston.

I didn’t dwell at this for too much. I decided to go directly to Boston and Cambridge. Karoline’s and Hilary’s forces need hard foes to conquer to mature.
