Chapter 448: Getting In the Golam City World
As I reached the ground, what I feared happened. The vampire died just before I even came to check on him.
"Did he say anything?" I glanced at those standing around while urging to ask.
"There are many giant monsters inside," one of the vampires said, "he says there is a massacre caused by a well played trap."
"Indeed," I nodded, "did he say anything more? Like the type and abilities of those monsters?"
"He only said they were strange giants," the vampire said before adding, "ah he said they resemble the giant monster we fought with from before."
"The soul sucker?" I asked before finding this new species of monsters quite disturbing. "Alright, it's settled then," I turned towards the distance and shouted, "Come here."
My giant pet moved, and in just a couple of steps he was with me.
"Listen up," I turned around and glanced over the leaders of my army," I'll lead the attack, keep the necromancers busy with their skeletons and send everything inside. After one hour go in and join me in full force, got it?"
They exchanged silent glances with much worry over their faces. "Don't give me that look, I have seen many brutal wars and survived all. I can't be killed this easily."
I then thought of my two demons and took them inside my prison before jumping over the gigantic hand of my giant. "Go inside now," I said while ignoring even the warning words of my beloved tree.
At this moment it wasn't the time for me to coward away and let others go in and sacrifice themselves for nothing. If they had to die, then it should be on equal grounds and in a fair fight where we have the upper hand and victory was in sight.
The next moment the giant moved, and in just one small step of his, he entered the gap and the next thing I found myself inside a long tunnel that looked like an abyss.
"Keep going," I urged him to move, and strangely the tunnel suited the giant like it was made to fit him. He moved at great speed and in less than five minutes he finally crossed a distance that would have taken more than an hour on foot and reached the end of the tunnel.
The tunnel was leaning slightly to the bottom, and when we reached its opening I was amazed by the scene that welcomed me.
"No wonder no one returned," I muttered, as the opening of the tunnel led into a vast pit with cliff-like walls on all sides where the tunnel lied in the center.
And everywhere I spotted endless armies of giants. They were like the smaller versions of my giant demons, but having the same semi-transparent body of the soul sucker and its long thin hands stretched everywhere.
"It's time to cause a bang," I gnashed my teeth and took out my spear before pointing it forward, "go, leave none alive around the opening. We need to clear this zone for our armies to arrive safely."
"Alright, leave this to me," the giant didn't hesitate to jump outside the tunnel and then he started the massacre.
I didn't sit on his broad shoulder and did nothing. From this height I could spot endless enemies, and my spear moved to crack the air going to and fro like a death reaper.
From my place I could see what was happening on the surface of the pit I was in. "So they even have flying armies," I muttered while noticing the large packs of flying monsters in the air, "my vampire has no chance alone."
I didn't mind those for now, as it was hard to hit my giant or even touch a hair of mine there. I kept my focus for now over the ground around the tunnel, helping my giant to clear it.
He stumped over them, used his hands to catch and throw many, and even he grabbed rocks and threw them around. "You need a sword my friend," I muttered as this was something that would help him a lot.
"I prefer a spear like my lady," he said and his answer made me laugh.
"Alright, this is a promise then," I said before adding, "when we have time and resources, I'll order such a nice and deadly spear and shield for you."
For me I pictured him holding a gigantic spear and shield, acting like a shield and a spear at the same time, while my enemies were stopped and killed all over his mighty body.
And I was leading my armies to attack from behind, killing everything and ruling the entire land. "That's awesome," I laughed before throwing off my spear again.
In less than half an hour, the massacre that happened here to my skeletons were turned around. We managed to clear a large area enough for ten thousand skeletons to gather around, attacking the fallen and wounded monsters all around.
At first this was nothing to attract my attention, but later I noticed some gained more power while doing that. "Those bones… they are relentless, fearless, and scary," I smiled before laughing, "I love them, I hope many will upgrade to be a real powerhouse next to me."
Just as the second hour passed, the vanguard of my giant army arrived in the form of my personal army. The moment they appeared, they joined the fight and their addition helped to speed up clearing the monsters on the ground.
The only problem we had was the constant influx of more monsters once we killed part of them. Despite the great killing speed of my giant and my skeletons, my army, and I, we needed more time to expand the safe zone five times the initial size when my army arrived.
But despite this, I wasn't fazed or worried at least. Even when those flying monsters tried to come down and join the fight, my army started using the old rock throwing tactic, bringing so many of them to the ground for the others to kill.
When Omad and Deredly arrived with their main armies, things started to haste again towards my side. The number of killed monsters swelled up fast, and even their monstrous reinforcing ability was paralyzed in front of our relentless attacks.
In fact being in the lead gave my army the courage and the determination to kill everything around. I acted as the main spear, and they were the main grinding machine behind, and the monsters were simply the losers here.
On any front of this place the fight was always my win on a way or another. The skeletons kept falling fast, but much more replaced them. I noticed some started to evolve to be stronger, and they began to be my main hitting force in many places.
"These skeletons shall be leaders of legions of other skeletons soon," I muttered before glancing over the flying monsters around, "we need to clear those flies buddie. Any ideas?" I asked.
"I can throw rocks, catch them with my hands, or I can just try to hit them once they reach my body," he said but I didn't like any of these.
"We need something more efficient for you to use," I thought for a moment before saying, "go and grab that rock over there. Smash it into pieces and then hold them in your hands."
"Nice idea," he honestly commended before doing what I asked.
The next moment the air was filled with many small pieces of rocks that moved like giant arrows to hit everything moving up there. This sudden attack came unexpectedly from my enemies, and the first waves of rocks managed to give a strong blow to the flying legions.
In addition to that the rocks fell over the heads of other monsters on the ground, extending the death toll of these rocks, making them such a nice deadly weapon.
"Great," I laughed, "go and grab other rocks and do the same," I said while returning to hit the ground monsters with my spear.
The world was filled with screams, yells of war, and many shouts that I couldn't tell anything from. But the most prominent voice right now was the swooshing sound of rocks thrown out by my giant and killing everything on air and ground.
This sudden appearance of such weapons changed the face of war drastically. The monsters started to decrease at a much faster rate, and even there were many vacant places where my armies could advance without the need to kill anything for.
Expanding the territory I controlled made the war finally turn more logical.
"Go up, we need to crush those pointless fountains of monsters pouring here," after some time, and as the number of the flying monsters decreased by a large margin, I said to my giant.
It was time to totally control this pit, clear the area around and prepare things for my gigantic army to spread terror and death in these lands.
