54 Command and Conquer

Watching the soldiers fight in harmony, my face didn't change… "warriors, slowly move backward, archers… prepare your arrows" I said in a cold voice as I directed this to the first screen.

Following my command, three hundred warriors moved backward as they cut the wolves and goblins, archers readied their bows and standing far behind the warriors they kept their bows down.

"Ogres, Dragonborn, and Giants cut the nearby wood and begin building a base following the blueprint…" I commanded again as they followed command and rushed from behind the archers towards the forest.

The first screen was in Brazil, near the Amazon rainforest, one of the safe zones were there. Klack! Klack! Klack! The Ogres cutting the trees and throwing the logs toward the Dragonborn as the Dragonborns rushed towards a high location and stabbed the logs down.

The Giants were one of the best and expensive workers I bought, their efficiency was absolute, Ting! Tak! Ting! Tak! They began building the first base…

After repeating the process on the other 8 screens, I noticed that they were tired as it is the second day fighting with no rest. "Rose, send several drones carrying 3,000 cards," I said while watching the screen.

"Yes, Master," Rose said as she began to contact Hope. Watching the war my eyes focused on a part in the forest, "Captain, survivors are behind you, let them help out with the base" I commanded the leader of the first screen army.

"Yes, sir!" The captain replied as he rushed towards the survivors who were shocked at the captain appearance, they tried to escape but the captain calmed them down and showed them into the base that is being built.

I nodded, "Archers, slowly raise your bows 160 degrees and pull the string back". Watching them follow the command, I waited… the warriors had several casualties but it will end there.

"Warriors! Raise your shields! Archers fire at will!" I stood up and watched the arrows flying in the air before piercing their enemies. The number of monsters was too much but if we can limit their numbers for a few hours, the first screen will be safe until the second phase…

The wall has been built by the giant fast, "Archers, stop! Run towards the wall and take a good position there before assisting your brothers and sisters!" I said to the archers as they rushed towards the wall.

"Warriors, pull back towards the wall and engage with the enemy" The final command was given.

Taking a breath of relief I watched the other 8 screens and began commanding them each separately. The reason, why they were all deployed in different areas, is because I didn't know where the highest density of monsters will be at.

Time went by, 3 days later I finished commanding everyone and the number of casualties was more than I expected. After confirming everything was going good I left the tavern at night back to my home, entering the house I saw that the lights were off. Going to my bedroom, I saw Emma asleep, smiling I entered the bath before exiting and laying on the bed next to Emma who was still asleep.

Lying on my back, I looked at the roof with cold eyes and began to mutter "Invade me, I will welcome you… but don't expect to leave" my eyes slowly closed and I entered into a deep sleep.

Darkness was everywhere, lying down in the darkness brought me peace…

"You have impressed us" A blurry figure came out from the darkness.

"But time is nigh" Another figure appeared on the side.

I sat up in the darkness, looking at the two figures I smiled.

"Preparing not to survive but to hunt, we loved every part of it" a third figure appeared.

"But will it be able to stop a demigod?" the fourth entered the darkness with a grin.

Watching them speak, I felt my space element reacting.

"Find mother, Find mother" The fifth appeared with a golden light behind him

"Kill them all!" The sixth appeared as the fire spread out from him

The world around me began distorting.

『Silence!』

The darkness shook, the figures began to disintegrate… I felt power beyond anything I felt before.

[You have met the First requirement]

『Ace, if the Void finds out about this, you will cease to exist! Leave!』

Pushed out of the darkness, I was but I couldn't believe what happened. "Morning, my love," Emma said as she hugged my side, "Morning" giving her a kiss on her head, I left the bed and took a shower before joining Emma for breakfast.

"Father!" Rain entered with the support of her brother. I stood up and went to assist them, "Who told you to leave the ward? It will only take 1 week to heal your legs…" I said as I brought them to the table.

"Father, it is fine… I am bored in that room" Rain said as she complained by puffing her cheeks. Viktor, on the other hand, looked at me seriously, "We will talk after eating, sit down! Haha!" I went to cook more food and after adding the spices and placing the food on the plate I got a notification.

[Congratulations, Cooking★★ has been upgraded to Cooking★★★]

"Eh," I said with a stupefied face, "Husband is there something wrong?" Emma said as she looked at me. "Nothing, here you go Rain and Viktor" I placed down the two plates on the table before sitting down the end of the table and began eating.

Rain talked a lot as she ate her food, topics about how cute the staff members were… she wanted Fox ladies so I gave her Fox ladies… As for Viktor, he loved heroes and strong ones at that, his staff were a mixture of Elves, Humans, and Tigermen. On the island, it is my companions who work as the staff, makes me be at ease.

After eating, I told them to enjoy their chat as I went out to take a smoke, Viktor followed behind. Taking out the cig, I lit it up before I looked at Viktor who had a cold look in his eyes. He stood there while I puffed out the smoke.

"Speak," I said as I watched him, "I want to be stronger…" he said with a cold voice. Taking a deep smoke, I puffed a cloud of smoke and smiled. "I will let your mother stay with your sister, we will leave tonight to a dungeon".

He nodded and went back into the house after I threw the cig on the ground and crushed it, the smile on my face disappeared before I muttered "Mother…". Entering the house again, we sat down and chatted for a while, I looked at Emma with a smile "My love, I will take Viktor outside to sightsee for a day."

Emma nodded and smiled "I will take back Rain to the medic ward and stay with her then"

Rain looked worried but her brother comforted her before he left with me outside, "Black castle" I said as the door opened.

I entered followed by Viktor. "Take us to Cape Town," I said to the black castle before it began moving. I sat on the throne and closed my eyes while Viktor stood by the side.
