Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Plus I couldn't leave here without clearing the entire trial. Despite me knowing if I asked, that system wouldn't hesitate to open a portal for me to escape from here but I didn't ask or consider such a thought.

After all, I didn't need to escape when I was so close to winning!

I went towards the front where my army followed hot after me. The enemy was a ground one, with no flying monsters of any kind.

That left the entire air space above them all free for me and my flying legions to attack as freely as they wanted.

The hostile army was formed of giant demons mainly, but when the first clash erupted, their front line was simply crushed without much resistance at all.

This was pretty much expected. After all, the army that first hit them wasn't normal, but formed of my elites.

Forces formed of my personal army, my dear Tesakos led by Omad, the flying giants led by Dredly, and the elite animal races led by Jen… all were hitting the enemies like they were rocks hitting eggs.

As for me, I kept my distance from the ground, flying without any restraint all over the place and raining the entire ground with missiles and beams.

Whenever I spotted a strong foe, I wouldn't hesitate to throw my spear towards him. my spear was like a death reaper which I selectively threw over many of the strong looking ones.

The opening was still widening and it seemed to take another hour to be fully opened.

"Rumble!"

But just after ten minutes or less, a very loud and terrifying rumble occurred from behind.

"Damn! They are fast to come!" I exclaimed in anger before turning around and spotting the giant I left behind vanish in the next moment. "We need to move," I glanced all over the place knowing that killing everyone here seemed a very far dream.

"Retreat," I shouted towards my elites at the front, "other armies are coming, follow my lead to the rear."

"What about here?" Dredly shouted as he came fast towards me.

"Leave this to the main army," I couldn't find any better solution. He glanced at me in silence before he returned with his mecha to lead his own forces.

That decision meant we would lose many forces here, but that was exactly what I expected. It was normal for wars to have casualties, after all the war was brutal.

And this was the most brutal I had experienced in a long time already.

"Retreat," I shouted again, "fall back, leave this for the army to handle, follow me," I kept shouting until I returned to the first eye storm.

And there I didn't find only one army merging here… but three.

"Damn!" I cursed out loud, "you bastard! Are you thinking this would be enough to stop me? hahaha, watch and I'll destroy all your armies, with that hidden one."

I knew there were nine armies, but in total there should be ten not nine. After all there were ten tornados out there, and that meant there was one army missing. "And I know exactly where you hid it you sneaky bastard," I said and the harrumph I took from the system made me realize I hit the mark.

"What now?" Dredly was among the fastest to come to me, but I was totally occupied by something else… my necromancers.

"Just wait," I said before I shouted, "don't stand there, send everything inside… send all the skeletons, don't defend… attack!"

From what I saw just now, the necromancers kept the skeletons in a defensive position, waiting for the entire enemies to come at them to stop them in track.

Logically speaking that was a good move for now, but in the long run I knew this was just a bad one. In fact this was a mere mistake, as in the future when all the other armies arrive, we wouldn't have any flexibility to maneuver at all.

The only way out of here was to attack, only attack and not even stand a single moment to defend.

Defending meant death, and so I watched my necromancers adjusting their armies and sending all their skeletons towards the three small openings at the distance.

"Keep summoning skeletons," I shouted before turning around to Dredly and finally answering his question. "See those armies? Move your men and attack them now."

"Only us?" he was surprised as he turned around to spot only his men and the vampires.

"They are ground monsters," I said, "they won't even stand a chance against you."

"What about you?" he asked.

"I'll take the vampires with me and start attacking the other one," I pointed towards a world that was filled with many flying monsters.

"Shouldn't we come to help you there?"

"Just focus on killing as much as you can in the shortest time," I stressed, "it's best to use the weaknesses of our enemies rather than matching their strengths."

He nodded and moved fast with his entire legion while I glanced around to spot the vampires led by Trefor and Derky. "Leave some behind to direct the incoming army to follow me inside that tornado. The rest come with me," I said before adding, "our task is to kill those flying bastards."

The vampires moved in unison with their great numbers to follow me while the ground littered under the whiteness of those marching skeletons. Up front I spotted many fights already erupting between the monsters and those skeletons.

One side had indomitable strength and the other had sheer number advantage… it was hard to tell who was winning and who was losing.

"But I'm here to make my skeletons win," I laughed before launching long beams from my mecha to kill many of those frontline monsters and clear a path for my skeletons to enter the next eye of the storm.

And like locus they started to converge around many monsters and the scene started to look like a white curtain was covering the entire ground forcibly without any pause.

"Attack," I shouted while turning all my focus towards the sky and those flying enemies, "cover the ground skeletons, don't let those flying ones reach them."

The plan was simple, I just had to attack those monsters flying in the air with my vampires and left the ground totally to my skeletons.

It seemed a great plan, and when my ground elites joined, it turned to an excellent plan.

However…

"Rumble!"

This time it wasn't coming from another direction except the one I was already in. I turned around and saw a strange scene where the opening I came from was now moving to close… not expand to open!

"Damn!" I turned around and spotted four more openings being created at the same eye I was in. "Trying to act smart? Humph," I turned around as I spotted my entire elites being deeply engaged with their enemies.

"So no way to retreat then," I muttered, "go, hurry go and bring me half of the mecha necromancer flying squad now!"

I hurriedly turned to one of the vampires and literally kicked him to fly towards the opening. The opening would take roughly ten minutes at most to close, a time I could risk trying to catch with my elites.

But this would end up with losing much of my precious troops. The grand plan of that dirty system was getting revealed slowly in front of my eyes.

"Trying to kite me down? Hahaha, nice try man, in fact I'll do the same and kite your forces to the last one."

And that was my plan.
