Kill everything! I gave the order while starting to work on controlling monsters at the same time.

The two grand monster armies I amassed were ruined in this battle. So I needed to replenish some, and leave them under the jumpers leadership.

Even if he did commit lots of mistakes, he was a valuable asset that I couldnt replace for the time being.

Besides, he decided to stay here and work over that worm carcass, trying to learn its secrets.

The battle didnt last longer than one hour. I didnt use the worms to fight here. Instead, I gave them the order to scatter around this region and work as my eyes.

I told them to scatter, spread and find other worms around before coming back and tell me about their places.

That bastard was able to use such a weapon in this battle. I knew worms live in groups, lying in wait until they got the order to move around or found any prey to feast upon.

Using one of their kin to spy on them was the best way I had. Once Id get the news, Id move and start hunting more of them..

No matter what, Id add all the worms to my personal collection until Id get enough to start attacking other worms. This was my plan to counter that bastard.

However, during the next ten hours, I got nothing back from my worms. I kept checking their numbers all the time. Yet I didnt lose a single one.

So You were just testing this weapon here or what? After waiting for five more hours, I started to grow suspicious.

Was he just testing the worms in this fight? Really? Worms were such a famous deadly breed of monsters, their fame was enough to make anyone know their fierceness.

Something seemed off here. But I let my worms keep scanning around and didnt call them back.

I just gave them the order to scatter north, south, and east from here. These were the places close to my kingdom, the most critical places in the upcoming quest.

I forgot Just after giving them such orders, I recalled my scattered teams that were tracking down the enemy forces. [Whats up?] I sent this to all of them, including Leo and Alex.

I received tons of messages from them. I didnt know why I didnt get any word from them before. But when I read the messages, I got to know the answer.

So they are doing nothing new Interesting! I got this answer as a copy and paste from all of them.

The forces just settled in the cities and towns, did nothing else. Not a single one stepped outside the cities and towns. And that was slightly weird.

I thought about worms. But were my teams strong and scary for the enemy to lean towards using such weapons?

It would be like using a hammer to smash a fly!

I doubted that! The only explanation was either the loss this time was so big over the shoulders of my enemy, or he just achieved what he wanted with such control of towns and cities.

[Keep watching] I sent, [Dont lower your guards]

I didnt want them to get discovered just before Id start moving out.

Just as I closed the chat with them, I saw a grand army approaching from a distance. For a moment, I mistook it to be a hostile force.

But soon I realised they were humans. They were the ones I sent before coming here as reinforcements. They just arrived now, after the battle ended by many hours.

From the look of it, they didnt lose much during their march to here. If that bastard had worms left, he wouldnt leave such a big army untouched.

Wow! You already summoned an army for me? The jumper took a few minutes of rest and came up when he noticed the slowly approaching army.

They arent for you, I rolled my eyes when I heard his words, you just scatter them around. Let them take control of the cities and towns here.

Just for that?! he looked in doubt, and this was my plan from the start.

Select capable ones and add them as friends, I added, appoint them as leaders of each city and town. Give strict orders to watch the area around, send patrol units to secure the area. If they spotted worms, they have to notify you.

I didnt get the weakness of them yet.

Its not for you, dummy! Once spotted, make sure to let me know ASAP!

Sure, he shrugged, you are the only one able to stand against such terror anyway.

Hopefully someone will be the second, I sighed, now can I leave this region to you?

Sure. what about north?

If you asked me this again, Id hit you in the face! I fiercely responded to his daring request, leave north out of the picture for now. We got our hands busy handling all this mess.

I got it, I didnt know why but I felt he wasnt sincere about his answer.

Ill leave now, I have nothing else to do here. This fight wasted more than a day. I ended up gaining flying, aquatic, and fierce worm monsters indeed. But it also delayed my plans to prepare for the big battle coming up.

I called back all my warriors, left the monsters I controlled under the jumpers control.

Dont use my aquatic or flying monsters until its time for the big fight, I said in warning before leaving, and dont try to order them. I already gave them the order to ignore you.

You are a bastard that will never change no matter what!

Humph! Coming from such a jerk, its a compliment and not an insult.

Screw you!

F*ck off!

We two glared at each other before I took out my staff, and selected a place nearby my capital.

It was time for me to return and start organising the house. I wasted one day and there were around a week or so left for the upcoming big battle.
