Chapter 423 One Is Trying To Run Away

As I decided to let my boys rest, of course aside from that crazy jumper, I asked everyone to know the mysteries behind all this.

That jumper was really crazy! Once he got on his feet, he summoned all his forces, and led them to attack the enemy. He was mad, revengeful, not resigning to rest when his enemies were this close by.

I let him do whatever he wanted. After all he faced a horrible time and he deserved to take his revenge personally.

As for others, they were oblivious to what he was doing, or they decided to close an eye over it. They started to narrate everything that happened, with much news I didn’t know.

It all started with the arrival of a new army. According to all of them, they led their forces south as I ordered before. The lands there weren’t much protected.

With the help of wryly and his forces, they managed to control the southern regions.

Then I vanished and that left them unable to decide their next move. According to them, the jumper took over and decided with Hilary to go north and keep clearing the areas there.

The two decided to go north as that was what I’d ordered. Of course they were right in their decision. But when they went there, they were met with a new challenge.

A human army at west was fighting a brutal battle against a combined Dragon and Selvator army. That was something I knew. Also Wryly was aware of it.

As for Fang, that dude kept his distance even after taking a good bite off the southern region. He was reserving his forces, not rashly joining any battle like Wryly did.

That dude was just acting too cautious, something that seemed to backfire at him.

From the stories I heard, the first battle that happened was against Fang. It seemed his presence just stirred up his rival, making him retreat alongside the dragons and come at him.

He asked for help, a request that was honoured by the jumper in a very weird move.

No one knew why the two armies retreated. All they knew was that they came fast and took a detour around their armies to get to Fang.

As the jumper led everyone to help Fang, all the scattered forces of other races came to attack the human army in the west.

All thought it was on the brink of collapse, or else why the two armies retreated and came to attack Fang?

Their bet baid off as that army was indeed on the verge of collapsing on itself. No one knew who was the leader of that army, or where they came from.

But as the jumper helped Fang and managed to rout the enemy off, everyone decided to move out and help that small human army.

Like this everyone got to meet each other. After all, the human army when cornered found no other hope to survive but to move East and try to join my forces.

As the two sides met, a big battle erupted. In the eyes of everyone, this was the last battle to control these lands.

However when everything was heading right for our side, a massive fog moved out of nowhere and covered up everyone.

Then the illusion appeared and they became trapped in there until I managed to free them.

Per their words, that second human army should be here. But as I could see it, there was no sign of that army anywhere!

Did they manage to escape here? Or were they very exhausted and died fast at the illusion?

That didn’t make any sense actually. [Search for any survivors of that army] I sent to all, while feeling something fishy was going on here.

They were fighting all the time, so they didn’t have any chance to interrogate that army or gain any valuable intel about them.

Also that army came without any leader, making it impossible to track the origin of this army.

A human army appeared out of nowhere and brought such trouble with them. And now they are gone. It was indeed fishy.

I looked at all my forces down there. They got it hard this time. Even my Bulltors and advanced humans were lying on the ground exhausted and tired.

They didn’t show many wounds or injuries like the rest of humans here. After all they had their cultivation bases opened and lots of stat points and battle experience on their backs.

But I didn’t try to order them to join the fight. I had to leave some kind of protection for my forces here. Who knew what else would happen here.

So I let my forces rest and my personal army fought. As for that jumper, he kept fighting fervently without any regard to his own safety.

So I had to assign a few dragons to help him and also minimise the losses at his side.

Things kept going on smoothly until Fang finally returned to me.

[That paragon is trying to run away, he is at West]

[Got it!]

As I got a whim about one paragon, I looked back at the one persistently coming at me. That dude… He didn’t know that he was screwed the moment he decided to come at me.

[Curse is completed!]

All this time I wasn’t sitting idly or just blindly attacking him. I used my Libra and cursed him.

The moment he got cursed, he started to show much weakness as expected. His shield became weaker, alongside many of his forces at the frontline.

I didn’t need to keep attacking him. In fact I felt too lazy and too bored to kill another paragon of that race.

It was indeed weird and ironic. How such a race that was supposed to be terrifying had such losses on my hands.

But now I had to go and attack that running away paragon. As for Wryly, I had a feeling that Wryly’s paragon was going to betray us.

Anyway, I’d know such a thing soon enough.
