Chapter 716 Bruno

“You didn’t have to go all the way after them like that,” when I returned, Angelica mistook my actions as me losing control over myself during the fight.

She didn’t know the real reason behind me doing this.

“I did it on purpose,” I said while looking at the grand army outside, “like this we have an army ready to take over your spot.”

“Take over mine?!!” she was taken aback, “what for? I didn’t do anything wrong! I didn’t commit any grave mistake! Don’t punish me like these two idiots!”

I realised that what I did to Alex and Leo got spread already between my generals. I inwardly laughed at her scared face. “It’s not like what you thought. I just need your help.”

“Help? For what?”

“To do what you were doing before,” I shrugged, “receiving new races and humans, divide them according to their talents, and let them start working.”.

“Ah, that old boring task,” she rolled her eyes, “can’t you leave me here instead? I can recommend lots of good people from my army.”

“Then they will rise up in ranks and be a real power in the future,” I shrugged, “and you will only be a normal general, even though you might get demoted at one time and…”

“No, no I’ll take the task,” she hurriedly jumped and grabbed my arm, “if that’s what you want.”

“It’s your decision to make,” I shrugged my arm free from hers. This girl… She never dropped trying to seduce me with her fiery assets.

“It’s also your decision to make,” she said as if she was referring to something else. I got what she wanted to say, and just rolled my eyes.

“You know I have two girls already.”

“One is missing, and the other is very cold to you… Ain’t I the first girl out of these two to meet you? Doesn’t that count?”

She said it in such a low tone and a look from her eyes, enough to melt down any block of ice.

I gulped, while forcibly looking away from her sexy look.

“Go and prepare your people,” I said, “just select those who will help you. As for the army, I’ll find someone to lead it.”

I thought of the five elites under Lucias’ lead. If each was given an army, then I’d have five more armies ready.

Of course that would require more work from me. I already had one warrior army ready, and now a new Hector army ready. I needed to control three more armies, build them from scratch.

This wouldn’t be enough to sustain the fight here for one week. But at least it would be a good start. The Hectors I fought here were three armies, stationed ten miles apart.

That meant the Hectors were already turning this land into a tight fort. If I asked my forces to stay silent and remain seated in their posts, the Hectors would amass large armies before landing heavily over them.

It wouldn’t be a good thing. Giving your enemy time to breathe was a big mistake without doubt.

“Ok,” she nodded, and went down below to select her people.

Last time I saw her, she had almost tens of thousands of people to help her. But this time, she only selected no more than five thousand.

It seemed during this war, lots of good talents were lost. I looked at this and despite feeling bitter, I saw the bright side of this issue.

All my forces, and talents started from ground zero, with almost nothing at all. As they once managed to rebuild their forces, they could do it again for sure.

Even if they lost many of their people who they trained for a long time already, they still were left with many to help. And they could train more using the time difference in my second Earth.

As she was ready, I opened a portal and sent her towards the second Earth world. I briefed her about the current situation there, and told her about what she needed to do.

She had to lead forces there to clear the forests around the mountains, expand the building of cities and towns there towards the central region.

She also had to start screening the people there, and find different talents other than fighters. I didn’t forget to ask her to start a separate group to start searching for those who fought in the betting world.

That world was once offered to me by the Bringold impact people. But it didn’t mean I lost my ticket to it. I could always ask Silverlining for help.

But I needed to gather information first. I was sure that lots of my people there came from this world, or had experienced it once.

.

As she went over there with her small group of people, I waited for Lucias to send his five elites over.

They came in less than one hour. Comparing Lucias with them, they were much smaller and less terrifying. Comparing the normal soulers with them, they looked like real beasts.

The fog they emitted was silver blue in colour, dancing wildly as if they got a fire burning in their bodies or something.

“Lord,” the five knelt on one knee while saluting me. They didn’t come on board the same way Lucias used, but floated fast through the stairs as if they were flying.

“I’m going to let you lead armies from now on,” I wasn’t that much interested in knowing them better. If they were like Lucias, then I’d get to know them the moment I got them.

“One of you will lead this army here,” I pointed at the army down below, “who will it be?”

“I will do it, my lord,” one stepped forward faster than the others. “I’m Bruno, lord.”

“Good, you will lead this army from now on,” I waved at him to go down, “they will follow your lead. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

“I won’t, lord.”
