BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power-Chapter 38 – Part 5 Underworld Insects. The Lesser Secret Disaster.

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 – Part 5 Underworld Insects. The Lesser Secret Disaster.

"Haha, that madman is back again.. I like him.. now let’s continue" the Rock Leader muttered again..

The battle shifted again toward attrition.. in twenty minutes, more than three thousand insects were brought down..

On the right side of the insect wave.. the ten fighters stood with expressions high in confidence.. in twenty minutes..

they were able to topple two secondary waves..

All credit goes to their plan that relied on the fighter Logan and his accumulation power which increases instead of decreasing..

On the left side.. Jo continued using his new piercing attack supported by Monali’s arrows and destroyed two waves as well..

In the high tower.. those present breathed a sigh of relief... but

Soon things began to grow more difficult and complicated..

Twenty minutes.. were the minutes in which the fight against the fourth wave, with numbers exceeding ten thousand, began..

In those minutes.. 25% of the insect numbers were eliminated.. it was not a small number, but rather a great fruitful achievement for several plans and paths.. some of which are considered luck.. like the ability possessed by the fighter Logan..

But.. despite that.. the main insect swarm.. in twenty minutes crossed half the distance separating it from the fourth wall..

What does this mean?

This means.. that the continuation of the pace as it is means the insects will lose 25% of their numbers in the next twenty minutes.. and at the same time..

They will collide with the wall and pierce it violently with more than 6 thousand insects..

The first to notice that.. was Monali.. for this reason.. she turned again toward Lois and Suman.. and asked about their accumulation..

The answer was not happy.. and left her in confusion..

"How much time do you need?" Monali asked again..

"Half an hour.. so that I can deliver a strike sufficient to stop the flow of the wave" Lois answered

"I need at least an hour.. my wolves consume accumulation heavily" Suman answered with a trace of shame..

Neither of the two.. Suman or Lois, wanted to sit in the tower and relax waiting for their accumulation to return... and although they had put in much strenuous effort.. their sitting and watching others exert effort pained their souls and made them feel helpless..

At the bottom.. the Rock Leader’s eyes were narrowing in prolonged thought.. he too knew that the continuation of the matter at this pace would be against them and not in their favor.

He turned toward his soldiers.. there were 20 of them doing what they had started previously.. separating two secondary lines from the mother wave and directing them toward the sides.. to allow Suman and the ten fighters to intercept them independently..

On the side, there were 10 other fighters.. the Rock Leader had not given them any orders since the start of the fight.. he was keeping them for something..

He turned aside.. toward those ten and commanded..

"It is time, men"

Suddenly the Leader raised his club and muttered..

(The Leader Defends)

From the club, blue threads began to emerge.. then surround the ten soldiers.. until they encircled them completely.. then they disappeared

The ten soldiers jumped in a single moment..

Then they stood before the wave..

They drew close together until it appeared as if they were stuck to one another..

Suddenly.. it appeared as if there was a strong yellow shield surrounding the whole group and gathering them into a single entity..

Before everyone’s eyes.. the ten fighters were showing an aura resembling yellow bricks stacked close to each other..

The buzzing of the wave was making a massive noise and advancing with its weight toward the new barrier of fighters..

On the right and left sides.. the fighting stopped and eyes watched what was happening in surprise..

In the high tower.. everyone leaned their hands and focused their gaze to watch..

For the first time.. the Rock Fighters showed that move.. and that formation..

Despite the great admiration that appeared on everyone for that move that gathered 10 fighters as one defensive entity.. fear and anxiety were not far away..

Before a massive wave in that manner.. everyone had the right to hesitate in thinking about the fate of that defense..

In the next moment, a spirit of silence and anticipation took hold.. then

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The sound roared like a raging lightning that mountains do not stand before..

Everyone.. put their hands over their ears...

As for the position of the sound... dust was hanging over the atmosphere..

And from behind it...

The Rock Leader’s lips parted with a smile..

The dust cleared quickly.. and a different scene appeared..

The giant wave..

Its direction changed by a ninety-degree angle..

The defense wall launched by the property "The Leader Defends".. succeeded in stopping the wave and making it swerve toward the side..

"What are you waiting for!" the Rock Leader shouted toward Jo and the ten fighters..

"Now is your chance.. before the wave reaches the far left and rearranges its destination toward the city.. "

The Rock Leader’s words were quick and decisive.. without being deluded and following the pleasure of success in interception.. his thinking was ahead of the rest..

At the top of the tower.. Monali understood what the Rock Leader meant..

"The far left is the space that has not been opened yet.. the preventing barrier will redirect the insects again.. " she muttered and the others listened.. then she added

"Before it reaches that place.. we must succeed in eliminating it or making it much smaller" she shouted then jumped, preparing to launch her arrows again.

After an hour had passed..

"My accumulation is about to run out.. " Jo whispered as he brought down several dozens of insects with a quick and powerful attack..

"Go to rest" the female voice came decisively from behind while Suman patted his comrade’s shoulder.. and said

"It’s our time to take care of the rest"

"Leave some of them for me haha" Jo answered then moved toward the tower..

Lois took several steps and then began to accelerate.. then she reached the wave and began striking consecutively..

On the other side.. Suman launched his wolves to pounce on the sides..

In a place not far away.. the Rock Leader was directing his fighters again to hunt the sides..

At the top of the tower.. Monali’s eyes narrowed then she jumped..

Toward the Rock Men..

When she arrived, no one was bowing; rather, everyone was striking except for the ten who were resting on the side and restoring their combat accumulation...

"I have a plan" Monali said quickly without introductions..

"Please go ahead, my lady" the Rock Leader answered with dignity and listened..

"I didn’t think of that.. it’s a wonderful plan" the Rock Leader replied after a while when he heard the plan.. and quickly..

He asked his twenty fighters to change the fighting..

The twenty fighters moved again toward the left side of the wave that was heading left toward the unopened space..

Then in a moment..

They began opening a secondary wave path again.. repeating the same old plan..

A few minutes until a new miniature path opened for a smaller wave.. heading toward the left side as well in a slanted way a little further from the mother wave’s destination..

As soon as the new path occurred.. the fighters jumped again to open another path..

After minutes.. there were four independent paths in addition to the mother wave..

The new shape of the waves was taking a path similar to a clock. The larger mother wave was as if it were heading from the center of the clock toward three o’clock, while the secondary waves were as if they were moving from the center of the clock to the space between 2 and 12 o’clock

Upon finishing the secondary paths.. everyone focused their efforts again toward the mother wave.. which carried no less than 3 thousand insects..

The strikes were falling at a steady and powerful pace toward the insects that were doing nothing but moving..

Then.. the mother wave reached the far left...

Suddenly.. it collided with the invisible barrier that separates the unopened spaces from the rest..

"Nothing happened" Lois muttered..

Then suddenly..

The wave began to tilt right as if there were someone holding it with his hand and moving it toward the center..

In few moments.. the mother wave returned moving toward the center. a few hundred meters away from the fourth wall..

"Can you perform that defense again?" Suman asked quickly..

"No.. in my accumulation state, I possess only one launch for defense.. "

"I will do it" Lois repeated with a confident voice.. then she raised her black glove and prepared to launch.. but

From atop the tower.. Monali’s hand was quick.

"Not now!" she shouted from above and stopped Lois

"Understood" the Rock Leader said, then also asked Lois to wait..

"There is still time until the wave reaches the wall.. let us wait until the secondary waves bounce back and adjust their movement.. "

"Doesn’t this mean we should hurry and eliminate the larger wave to be free for those waves as well?" Lois asked

"No" the Rock Leader answered.. then he smiled and added "Look closely.. the waves’ rebound will inevitably be toward the mother wave.. then what do you think will happen haha"

"They will destroy each other or even cause severe damage to one another" Suman answered quickly.. the idea was not strange to him.. he had previously thought of the same move, but the approach of the insects then to the wall left him helpless..

But now.. there is no wall, and the plan could be perfectly ideal..

As they discussed.. the first of the formed secondary waves was colliding with the invisible wall and already redirecting its movement toward the city center..

Before everyone.. the new path was clear.. toward the center.. but. it must pass through the mother wave first..

After a while.. everyone stopped fighting to rest, waiting for the collision..

All the secondary waves adjusted their paths toward the center..

And all of them ...

Their fate was to crash into the mother wave..
