Chapter 791 The Battling Arena - Part 8

He lost big in the previous clashes, lost almost all of his forces that he gained passively from the castle.

Unlike me, he kept using his forces repeatedly, ending up with their deaths.

I got a large army back at my castle, one that I was saving all this time for the big and last battle at the castle walls.

I intended to bid my time and make him lose more before this one. But something told me he wasn’t going to go out or risk losing a single force anymore.

He would bet everything on that last battle, and I’d come with all my forces and crush these walls on his head before killing him.

“Go to the central path, and help forces there,” as I reached the next post, I gave such an order to the six monsters there which had a good time defending this post.

I waited, didn’t move as that king didn’t. It seemed like we both were sitting opposite to each other, around a chessboard, and waiting for anyone to make a mistake.

I had the upper hand now in everything. Even if that king had enough treasures to elongate this battle and save his forces at the castle, in the end they’d all die.

I calmly watched the map where my boys kept pushing their enemies back. At some point, I got the message that my healing effect was gone.

Well… It lasted for at least half an hour, and it helped my muscles a lot. I didn’t have any worry about losing it.

With the addition of my monsters to each path, the fight seemed to go smoother. But for a reason, the number of towers at the rear part of each path was five or six.

That made each step taken was paid heavily with lots of my forces’ lives. It seemed the sudden escalation of the damage taken exhausted my healing effect and let it vanish faster than I thought.

But it was alright. The enemy was already pushed back, and on its last leg.

“It’s time,” as an hour passed, my forces had less than two towers to take down, “come back, all monsters converge at the post near the middle path,” I decided to make my move and take down these posts.

I thought about taking them from north to south, or from the opposite direction. But I was sure the sheer size of that king’s army at the castle was so big at the moment.

If I did that, I might risk that bastard going out of his castle and heading directly towards the farthest away post of mine.

It was much safer to just go towards the centre, secure these two first before expanding towards the other three at north and south.

My monsters took ten minutes to converge, then I started to march together. Such a big army of my monsters was enough to take down anything.

“Let’s hit this one first,” I stood at the edge of the post lying south to the central path. I waited first for the vision to return and checked the current location of that king.

But something made me doubt. Last time he used the flaw in the map to make me lose track of him.

Would he also do the same?

“One each will go to be stationed in the area between the posts,” just to be safe, I decided to send scouts out and followed them on the map.

Just when one of them reached a spot, a sudden flare of lots of red dots appeared there. “Damn! You were trying to fool me then,” it was up to the north. And from the sheer number of dots appearing there, I knew a big army was there.

But I waited for a few more seconds before the one at the south appeared in its location.

And then another scene appeared there.

“Ok… So you divided up your forces to make me divide mine… Cool,” I knew the best way to act was to go and clear these forces. I thought for a second there and first saved the spot before deciding to go for the southern army first.

It was a bit closer to me.

“Stay here,” but I didn’t take it all. I left behind twenty of my monsters to stay guarding the central path.

After my forces cleared this path to the forefront, the path became only filled with my soldiers heading from my castle towards the direction of the enemy castle.

So leaving them there wouldn’t be a big problem. “One each will stand near the four posts, and three will be stationed in between,” these monsters acted as my eyes here.

I then moved with the rest of my monsters and headed directly towards the big army at the south.

I knew the battle to take down that army and the two posts near it would be hard and quite challenging. But if I succeeded, then there was no hope for that king.

He was trying to use this flaw and turn the tables over. As I drew closer, I made sure to keep an eye over my monsters.

The ones at the north and south were still alive, but they seemed deeply immersed in brutal fights.

Yet they were alive, and that was what mattered.

Luckily from the map, I got that they didn’t venture into the area of any post yet.

If they did, then both would have been killed already.

Once I drew closer, I got to see the huge army of soldiers waiting up for me and my boys.

“Interesting,” I muttered when I saw this army that was in tens of thousands already, “but he isn’t here.”

That meant he either betted right and guessed my direction or he was here and left when he saw me coming.

“Sigh, it’s tiring to kill a wounded and cornered beast indeed,” I knew he would aim for the north right now. But even if I knew this, I didn’t hurry to leave.

“Go to the two northern posts and defend there,” who said I got no other army left to stop him?
