153 Chapter 152 (1/2)
Five days passed since Leon arrived at Moscow, one week had passed since the last time he slept, so he decided to take a nap because he was at his limit. However, he gave the order of his skeletons to attack anything that approaches. Unfortunately, Alexei had other plans; when he saw the image of Leon sleeping in the middle of his skeleton army, he used a missile. Obviously, the skeletons destroyed it.
”Crazy son of a bitch… using missiles just to keep me awake.”
Leon was tired and worried, Alexei had Yuki under his control for five days and Makoto by four. Still, he couldn't just invade the city to rescue them. He didn't have enough skeletons to do it. Much less when Alexei was waiting for him…
If Leon could, he would approach the dungeon to buy potions, but he couldn't; there was a chance that Alexei would escape by chopper or by airplane, and he wouldn't be able to see that if he leaves that area.
”What the hell am I doing… a single man is trying to siege a whole city… this is so stupid.”
If Leon weren't so tired, he would laugh. In the end, Leon tried to fake that he was meditating and slept while sitting. Thanks to that, he managed to take half an hour nap.
Just as Leon had expected, Alexei had called reinforcement from other cities. He saw several choppers flying to Moscow and trucks in the distance, also entering the city. Alexei didn't plan on fleeing from Moscow, and he didn't care how much resources he would have to spend in order to crush Leon.
”I wish I could split my forces to stop his reinforcements, but if I do, he will probably try to attack me as soon as possible. The more concentrated the skeletons are, the more effective their attacks will be…”
Still, things weren't looking good. If Alexei uses those choppers, the skeletons won't be able to reach them. Even the skeleton archers' range had a limit, after all. Regardless, Leon decided to be patient; his skeletons were absorbing mana and charging their limitless battery. Although they couldn't evolve like the other skeletons and their attacks wouldn't become more powerful, they would operate for longer the more mana they absorb.
Several hours later, another squadron of choppers flew to Moscow. Leon could destroy them and leave the skeletons to deal with the soldiers on the ground, but even he would have a hard time if dozens of those attack him at the same time. Considering that the soldiers being transported by those military choppers could survive the fall, Leon decided to attack those vehicles.
Leon had to stop the skeletons' productions for a while, but in a single minute, he knocked down twenty choppers just by destroying the choppers' propeller. They didn't expect Leon's sudden approach, so they didn't have time to react. The helicopters fell, but Leon saw that the soldiers survived the fall.
”Well, that should work as a warning for them…”
It worked, but not on the way Leon wished for. He noticed that Leon would destroy his choppers if they get to close. Alexei made enter Moscow by following a roundabout path. Just when Leon was about to take another nap, his phone rung. It was Alexei again.
”Getting impatient?”
