Chapter 1722 We'll Run Away Through There
The moment things would turn quite serious, they wouldn't be able to do anything at all. Even that pirate king would fail to acquire anything and would feel threatened if he stayed here.
[Make yourself ready to depart when I give the order] As he knew all this, he already set his eyes towards the safest exit from here, [Once I give the order, you'll follow me]
[Towards where? The safe zone?]
[I've already called Lucas and others back] he paused, [We won't remain here any longer. We did enough, and we have to make a run for our lives if we wanted to survive in the end]
[Still didn't tell me where…]
[Towards that whirlpool, what else? Is there any other place out there that could take us away but this?] Hye rolled his eyes, feeling like this lady was acting stupid and weird at some point without any proper reason.
[That… Are you crazy? Don't you know this is a pirate king? And we are going to invade his own territory? Do you even know where we are going to appear?!!] She got shocked and scared, refusing Hye's plan from the bottom of her heart.
[First, we got nowhere else to go. Second, this pirate king saw how I fought, and he is smart enough to know no one can stop me without paying a hefty price. As for our location, as long as it's away from here, we'll survive]
[But we are heading directly to the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a very hostile force, and that pirate king won't go nice on us!]
[We have no other choice, so suck it!] Hye knew all that and was even prepared for a hellish battle with that pirate king if things went south. But he was sure that man was going to be smart enough to lean towards soft threats rather than using brute force.
In the end, Hye was prepared to pay part of his grand loot in return for going away safely. If not, then let it be war then.
As he expected to lose part of his loot, Hye went all out and took tons of his Souler and Reapers that he accumulated over the years.
He might have started gaining them from the Bringold impact, then through Silverlining. In the later stages of the apocalypse, he used his class to form more of these. But in the past twenty years, he left them in the Second Earth world, letting them produce and expand their forces.
The only drawback was that the newly born Soulers and Reapers were races and not warriors. So he had to use his Warrior-producing magical place there and turn them all into tokens!
Right now he had a scary number of these, enough to just throw them at any army and watch his enemies suffer no matter who they were. The only challenge he faced during the past twenty years was the scary number of souls needed to keep them alive. And that got solved by killing more monsters back then.
He started to take out these two scary warriors and spread them all over this region of space. In the end, the area around him for hundred of kilometres was vacant of anything alive, while his warriors were spreading terror and death in a fast-expanding ring.
The pirate king was shocked when the situation reached such a stage. "Even after the two sides combined their forces together, they couldn't stop him? I know they are using just level one and two forces, but this is quite insane!"
The pirate king wanted nothing more but to replicate what Hye was doing, and yet he knew this was very impossible to achieve. The crazy fee he had to pay to keep them alive would give him nightmares if he dared to do so.
But he took a silent note in his heart about Hye, deciding to not directly clash with such a mysterious figure and not turn him into his direct foe anytime or anywhere.
He wasn't like these forces and had to struggle to gather lots of followers. He had a base, but it wasn't like this world or any other world, not like anything else.
He depended more on warriors and mercenaries, and both needed tons of wealth to keep. If he lost big in any war, it wasn't going to be just a blow to his military strength, but also a deep blow to his pockets.
To him, his followers were like long-term investments. Losing them meant he lost tons of money coming out in the long run.
The war kept raging wildly and crazily like that for two entire weeks! During this, Hye never took a single moment of rest, always doing something here and there.
He only slept for four hours per day, and on many occasions, he was forced to wake up whenever danger appeared. At some point, the world's forces grew tired of his and the pirate king's actions and launched their scary weapon out.
Luckily they targeted the pirate king first, and that gave him enough time to call everyone back and started to make a run for his life.
After leaving the ship and the little warzone, the weapon's hit landed and exploded fiercely, creating a threatening huge rose-shaped explosion in the middle of the dark space.
Seeing this from his ship made him heave an inward sigh of relief. He managed to slip by at the last moment.
[Tell me you are alive!] Just before he'd composed himself, the nymph lady sent this message in distress and worry.
[Don't worry, it's not that easy to kill me…]
[Stop bragging! Can't you see how deadly this thing is?!!]
[Let's retreat then] Hye knew the world's forces grew serious. And that also meant the Hescos were going to deploy much stronger forces next, [It's time to make a run for that portal]
[Give me a little time, I'm in the middle of collecting awesome loot…]
