Chapter 1053 A Tough Situation

However I didn’t change anything. Not yet. I just let my forces deal with the incoming million army and didn’t try to add more forces.

Right now, my forces who were fighting here included the two hundred thousand controlled soldiers, from the enemy side, slightly over five hundred thousand of scattered Lucas forces, in addition to my castle’s forces.

They were enough to take this army down. But just in less than five minutes, another large army appeared from far, running as fast as they could after a group of mine.

Damn! They didn’t just group together, but they also were trying to come here as fast as they could.

The last one million army was still having more than two thirds of their forces. Letting the new million army join them would turn this fight into a one sided battle.

“Come out!” As things reached this far, I called for my soulers, summoning one million to stand in between the two enemy forces.

I didn’t know how much I could summon. Yet to my surprise, the one million I called for appeared without missing a single souler.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise without doubt.

With such an army, and even if it looked like it got trapped in between the two enemy armies, it wasn’t that bad.

The first enemy army was already heavily entangled with my forces at the back. And so they had no time to care about my soulers.

When they tried to come at my soulers, they were already hitting the incoming one million army.

My soulers wasn’t as strong as the ones I used to have before. They lacked stat points and levels. But they were still strong enough to take down many of the enemy forces in a short time.

Just when more than half of the new one million army got killed and the rest were struggling against my soulers, a new army appeared.

And this one was damn bigger!

“Sigh! It seems they are doing their best to crush my forces here,” with such an army coming, at least three million strong, I knew they gathered up most of the scattered forces in the region.

The last batch might be one up to two million soldiers. But before worrying about those, I got to deal with the incoming three million first.

“Retreat to the hills, kill anyone standing in between you and your destination.”

As things turned out this bad, I held my horn and shouted at all my soulers. The one million down below lost almost one third of their numbers, but that didn’t mean they were weak.

They managed to kill more than three quarters of their one million enemy in such a short time. The remaining part wasn’t a problem and could be cleared in a few minutes.

But if I did that, I’d risk losing the soulers while giving the enemy a morale boost.

I couldn’t let that happen for sure.

So instead of risking things, I ordered them to retreat and go to the hills. Right there, and coupled with all of my forces present, things would be better for them.

Using the high and rough terrain here would help in sustaining the incoming large army. Not to mention the presence of my chariot and castle in the air.

So I flew over their heads while retreating and killing the remaining forces fighting my armies at the hill side. And together, all of my forces retreated all the way towards the hills.

“Scatter over the hills,” I shouted using my horn to all of my forces, “make sure to lure the enemy over and then kill.”

They listened and got themselves arranged evenly over the many hills in this region.

However the enemy didn’t pursue as I thought.

They stood just one mile away from the hills, looking at my forces without moving a single finger.

Damn! They wanted to wait for the last batch to arrive before coming to my forces. And that wasn’t something I’d let happen.

However if I gave the order and let my forces attack, then it would end up with many losses.

I couldn’t accept such an end as well.

“Soulers, move forward and kill the enemy,” if I could accept any loss then it would be the loss of soulers.

I got tons of them right now. And if they lost part of their forces, I could simply summon more.

Not to mention they were the fiercest forces here, even much fiercer than the castle forces and my fallen gods.

It wasn’t just an individual strength, but the effect of having such a grand number of them.

As I gave the order, they started to run towards the enemy.

“Cover them up,” I didn’t let them walk to their death alone. I sent my castle, and I also joined up.

Covering soulers from high above and helping them by killing enemies at many places was a good combo.

And in the next ten minutes, a brutal fight happened, one where both sides kept losing forces in large batches.

I kept replenishing the lost soulers all the time. And that helped in making the enemy feel they were immortals.

The first impact was so fierce that a big chunk of the central part of the enemy forces got cleared out in the first minute. However by the end of the tenth minute, the enemy started to move, trying to flank my soulers from both sides.

Trying to stop such a move using my castle and chariot wasn’t going to work. We could cover up one side using my castle, but the other wasn’t going to be stopped this way.

“Move forward!” and as I sent my castle to rain hell over the enemies at one side, I gave this order to another batch of disposable force of mine.

They were the controlled forces of the enemy, the ones I could easily get rid of and gain more at the same time using my technique.

As they moved forward, they met their foes and a brutal clash appeared from the early seconds. Almost half of the controlled forces fell in the first minute.

But before the enemy would rejoice by this, I controlled almost the same amount from the nearby enemy forces.
