Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Around I spotted almost ten tornadoes moving all together towards my army. "Gather up, let's move like a single unit," I shouted and that wasn't related to any logic.

Yet it was related to that vague feeling inside me. I had this sudden thought and I didn't hesitate to follow through. Despite lacking any ground logic, I decided to trust my instincts.

After all it wasn't easy to face all these tornados and survive!

The army moved under my orders to form a gigantic sphere. "Go in the middle," I shouted to my giant and he simply took a couple of steps to stabilize himself in the spot I designed for him.

"What now?" the giant asked, "I can face those nasty winds, but what about you? Can you escape from their reach?"

I turned around and found that all the paths of retreat or escape were blocked by these tornados. Almost seven were wreaking havoc behind my army, and only two were on each side and one was coming from front. "We are surrounded," I simply stated the obvious before turning all of sudden towards the fort.

"The mechanism must be there," I muttered, "advance… let's take this fortress no matter what!"

My words jolted everyone awake yet they didn't help in relieving the distress all were feeling right now, me included.

Yet under my orders they started to move. "Keep the formation… keep the line… don't scatter off no matter what!" I shouted and the next moment we all moved like a gigantic unit towards the tornado that was coming persistently towards us from the fortress' direction.

"Don't panic," I said, which seemed illogical at the moment, as the tornado was almost upon us.

Just as it hit the front line of my army, and as I was watching closely to give orders to break up and evade it, the entire tornado just got enlarged all of sudden.

"What the…?" I stuttered in shock while watching the entire tornado swallowing us like a gigantic mouth of death. The next instant I found myself in a strange place.

"The eye of the storm… impressive," I found myself unharmed, flying in a very peaceful air while the clouds up above were having a very mesmerizing scene where the sun rays were penetrating them like they were penetrating the best quality of glass.

"This…" I turned around and spotted my army intact as a whole. Not a single one of them were damaged or ruined by this tornado. "What's going on?" I muttered while taking a large tour above my army.

None was missing, all the units, all the races, all the leaders and their teams were all fine down below. "Can you exit this tornado?" I asked my vampires and they just sent many to the gigantic walls of grey air all around before they were bounced back like they hit a solid wall.

"Weird," I muttered while some went to medic those brave vampires. "So are we trapped here?" I didn't get what my damned system was scheming. "Any clue?" I suddenly shouted, "anyone?"

Yet silence was what I got back in response. Just as I was sighing helplessly something new happened.

The walls on one side started to bulge out as if someone was attracting them from outside before another eye of the storm appeared inside the opening that was created just now.

"Another tornado?!" I shockingly muttered before adding, "and it has a large army as well!"

I noticed from my high place the large number of monsters waiting calmly inside that second tornado. Suddenly it hit me. "Ten tornados, each contains an army while this one… is it the one linking us to the fort?"

I recalled the scene where it passed over the fortress before leaving it intact. "So we will have to face the other armies first before finally reclaiming the fort," I muttered before laughing.

"Sneaky bastard," I laughed and laughed, "you depended on our instinct to survive and evade those deadly tornadoes, so my grand army would be broken up into small pieces and be eaten away by your hidden armies… impressive, really impressive… however…"

I glanced in cold gaze towards the widening opening and the grand army that lay behind, "so bad your opponent is me!" I turned towards my army while neglecting the sneer coming from my system as I shouted, "incoming enemies… kill them all…"

I paused before recalling the other tornados and that evil sneer of my system, "we will have other enemies coming as well, so either kill these fast or be prepared to welcome eight more armies."

My shout made the evil laughs of my system to pause as if he choked inside his laughs. "Hahaha, don't worry my dear system… I plan to live long, so long as a victorious queen and made you serve me."

"Humph," he only harrumphed and I knew my provocation worked.

I needed the armies to all appear before my army got deeply entangled with one or two enemies here. "Go, wreck havoc inside," I said to my mecha legions before turning towards the grand army of skeletons led by my necromancers and shouted:

"Surround us, let none come closer at any time."

They moved to form a gigantic hemi-sphere around my army. "What about me?" the giant asked.

"Keep yourself here," I strictly ordered, "you'll deal with any new army coming to disturb their momentum."

"Good," the giant understood my meaning and knew how crucial this task was. in frank he was the only one able to pull such a feat, and I just hoped my army would be strong enough and capable of wiping these armies out.

"This won't end well," I muttered while moving my mecha towards the front army, "I will lose a lot… but you will entirely lose!"

I was dead fixed on winning this challenge. The books I had so far were so precious. I could almost feel the glorious empire I would build, and I was totally sure the last fort here contained much more of these books and other treasures.
