Chapter 721 A Very Peaceful City Worthy Of My Envy

“I’m saying it’s not right to give him my boys. They already got used to my way of leadership. Making such a change will have a negative impact.”

“Such a kind and wise general you are,” I snorted, mocking what he just said.

“You…”

“Why not speak the truth then? Why not say that you are afraid the one handling your army will perform better than you? And I might grant your army to him instead?”

“Do it and I’ll kill both of you!”

“Touch a single hair of me and you’ll die!”

“Then I’ll kill him!”

“Stop spouting such nonsense! Who are you to judge my people?”

“Who is he to take over my men?”.

“It’s you who abandoned them, remember? This is your plan after all!”

“Screw you!”

“Boys, why do you argue and fight every time you are together?” from the side, Sara had to say this while laughing, “if not for knowing you two are men, I’d say you are lovers!”

“Nonsense!” we both said in the same breath, making her laugh even more.

Damn! What if they learnt about this dude’s little secret? Would they link him to me then? Damn!

“Why not fight while we are on the road then?” the spearhead asked, trying to amend between the two of us, “we have a long way to travel.”

“Take out your treasure,” I extended my hand and demanded the treasure this dude promised.

“It won’t get away from my side for even a single second! Who knows what you have in your little dirty brain of yours?”

“Didn’t you say it’s a one time usage?” I rolled my eyes and he scoffed, taking out a sim long black rod that reminded me of the rod Anubis statues once held.

“It will stay with me, after all it only protects an area of five hundred metres around the holder.”

“Are you afraid I’d run away and leave you behind?” I laughed, in such an evil way that made him hold his rod closer to his chest.

“It won’t leave my side!”

“Ok, stingy masked guy, start using it then. Let’s start this operation.”

“One second,” he started to touch the rod at different places, turning them faintly shining in silver light before he raised his head, “it’s working.”

I looked at the rod, then at the world around. “Why isn’t there any change at all?”

“Boss, this dude is sneaky and cunning,” the spearhead shared my doubts as well, “you should take it from him to be sure it’s working.”

.

“Stupid ones! If it leaves behind any mark, then it will be spotted by our enemies! It caused invisible changes. And how come you not trust me when I’m with you in all this?”

“He has a point,” even Sara stood by the spearhead side, “you aren’t trustworthy at all.”

“You have no confidence in me and trust that sneaky bastard calling himself your lord?”

“He is our boss,” the spearhead argued back, “and he is more trustworthy than you.”

“Pathetic,” the jumper rolled his eyes, turned his back to the other two as he asked me directly, “are we going to do it or what?”

“Ok, let’s give him a chance,” I said as if I was doing him a big favour.

I saw him tightening his fists around the rod he held closer to his chest. He got annoyed, and I prevented myself from laughing at him.

As we were ready, I controlled my chariot and started flying away. I used my chariot’s highest speed from the start. If we got detected for any reason, like that jerk overestimated his rod, then with such speed we could easily evade any incoming attack.

The first test we got was just half an hour later. We passed directly beside a big army of Hectors that was heading towards one of the hot battlefields.

Just as we passed next to them, even the jumper felt a little tense. But when we passed over their heads without getting detected, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

The remarkable thing was that bead. When my chariot flew, the tree moved as well. It seemed like the tree was rooted in my chariot, using it as its ground.

“You didn’t have to fly directly over their heads like that!” as we passed them, the jumper couldn’t control himself from saying this.

Of course I did this on purpose, or else how would I be sure this thing of his was working?

“What? Don’t you trust your rod?”

“I trust it indeed,” he hurriedly said, but the other two couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

“Shut up!” he fiercely shouted at them, and that made them laugh even louder.

Then during the next day, we kept passing over lots of Hector armies, cities and towns.

The moment we got near a big city, the jumper tried to make me drop the idea of direct passing above it.

“We don’t know if these cities are equipped with shields or anything that can detect us,” he said, but I didn’t listen to his words.

I had to be sure that there wasn’t a single way to detect us. If there was such a thing, then the Hectors would equip their cities and towns with it.

But there was no such a thing. We passed over this big city undetected. I lowered the speed of our travel to see how the lives of such a big race was.

Well… The city wasn’t that much different from the cities my people were building so far. It was a bit bigger and bustler with activities, having densely packed markets.

Just seeing the lives of these Hectors with scales over their bodies, walking in such peace and comfort, free from any pressure or threat.

I liked how they were living here. Just seeing the calm look on their faces, even when there was such a big war nearby, made me feel little envy towards them.

Why didn’t my race have such a way of life in this damn apocalypse? Why was my race chosen to be the weak chain in the apocalypse?

I never saw such an atmosphere even when I lived many decades after the apocalypse started.
