Chapter 292 Securing MIT Campus

The fight wasn’t as easy as I thought. The monsters coming from the river seemed to grow in magnitude, covering the entire river bank at the side of Cambridge city.

It was clear that the Hectors leading this fight decided to focus all their forces here. The army I separated was still fighting brutally against the three races armies in the middle of Boston.

Yet with their absence, things didn’t look that good here either. I kept watching the fight high from my chariot, analysing the enemy movements, looking for a chance to go and close the gates down below if possible.

With the sudden rise in the number of monsters, things didn’t look that promising to me. I had to put aside that move for now, and am currently focusing only on driving the monsters back to the river.

“Focus your fire over the river side,” as the ground battle was intense, I had to find a way to relieve the pressure over the forces down below.

The combined army of my forces and the human forces here weren’t enough to stop the influx of the new aquatic monsters. They barely contained the situation and made an unmovable frontline just five hundred metres away from the MIT campus.

It wasn’t enough! I wanted to drive all the monsters back to the river side at least. But seeing how hard they were struggling down below, I had to go to the river and start attacking on my own.

Of course with my presence there, many monsters changed their aim and tried to take me down. I kept controlling my chariot as best as I could, evading as many projectiles as possible.

“Keep firing!” And at the same time, I kept my forces on board busy launching deadly attacks over the river side.

My shield kept getting bombarded with projectiles, yet I always kept the stored stat points inside my chariot’s heart above fifty million all the time.

That was the safest limit I could accept. And with that, the aquatic monsters could only attack without dreaming about hitting the chariot or hurting me.

With that, I kept my chariot flashing right and left across the curved bank of the river. During this, my forces kept showering this side of the river with deadly attacks, clearing large chunks of enemy in every breath.

Yet in the next breath, more enemies would pop up from the river. At this point, I started to seriously consider building an aquatic force, led by none other than my krakens.

I haven’t summoned any kraken sync the first time I got them. In fact summoning fallen gods or even dragons came always as top priority to me compared to these.

But right now… It became more obvious how Hectors value water battles. If I kept depending on ground forces like this, I would always be on the passive side.

Yet again there was the number problem. After all, each kraken monster would take five thousand soul points to summon. Currently my soul stack is getting higher in each passing minute, almost close to five million points for now.

Despite how big that number might seem, in fact it was far from enough. Even with ten million souls, I could summon two thousand krakens at most.

Compared to the tens or even hundreds of thousands of monsters brought to the waters by these Hectors, my boys looked small and not enough.

I needed at least fifty to one hundred thousand krakens. Something like this would be enough to balance such fights and make a difference.

If my soul couldn’t solve it, then my bones could. I decided to go and ask for that winged nymph help once I settled this fight.

Mentioning her, she already finished gathering the second batch of captured races. She sent me a message while I was running amok in Boston.

But it wasn’t yet time to receive them. I needed to get done here first, then see what I could do later on.

I kept attacking the river non-stop for the next hour. Since my appearance here, most of the focus of all the monsters was attracted to me.

That helped a lot in relieving the pressure up front. The combined human and my forces pushed the frontline all the way to less than three hundred metres from the river side.

It was enough. After all, less space was enough to deprive the monsters of the numerical advantage.

That didn’t mean the Hectors were out of solutions. Just during this hour, they managed to summon a new army at the other river side, at Boston city, enough to threaten the forces at Cambridge.

If not for this army, my forces would have long captured the river already. I looked at the inside of Boston. These Hectors… “They are really merciless and decisive!” I muttered while watching the fight ending in a three race clash.

The Hectors decided to sacrifice all the monster army in return for keeping the three races busy. I only hoped for Hectors to call back their monsters, bringing the fight to the other side of the river.

But they were much smarter and more decisive than I initially thought. I considered repeating what I did here, go and bring the three races’ armies to this side.

Yet that wasn’t going to help. After all, my real goal was accomplished already. This side of Cambridge was secured for now. My next goal should be controlling the entire city, or take down that shield for good.

Before doing any of that, I had first to go and check on the ground forces. I needed to organise things here first. The top priority was to securely defend this campus at all costs.

As for taking down the shield or taking control of the city, I could easily do it alone.

With that I stopped attacking the river for now, and went directly back towards the MIT campus.

The campus itself was big, almost one mile over the border of Charles river. The Campus part opposite to the river was filled with loud bangs and many shouts of war.

If I wanted to select one word to describe this campus then it would; Green!
