Chapter 90: Subjugation Of The Territory

'Two months...' Wain thought to himself. It wasn't too long a period, but it was much more than a few months.

Wain was not frustrated, he understood that if two months had passed, that was how long it took to successfully complete his evolution. 

He was trying to understand why his evolution had lasted two or even three times longer than initially intended.

"We need to go back." Said Teresa. She wasn't happy about Wain attacking her, even if it was a coincidence, but she was just as excited to have him back. Teresa was sure that Wain was one of the strongest people in the whole world.

Wain and Agnes nodded. They didn't go into the base in the woods since nothing was threatening it. They went straight to the university and got there in a few minutes.

"You can hardly call it a university. It's a real wooden castle." Wain said in amazement. He hadn't expected it to transform so much in two months.

"Yes." Agnes nodded and said, "Clovis did it. He used his skill for weeks and gradually created massive structures. Moreover, the same thing happened with our other bases."

Wain nodded, he could have asked Agnes about everything, but he wanted to talk to Gisle since that person was in charge here.

Agnes and Teresa led him into Gisle's office, then left. They had a lot of work to do related to their own progress and the organization's missions.

Wain went inside and saw Gisle sitting at a desk with many papers. As the leader of Gisle, he had to work not only with his fists but also with his head. 

He was the one who came up with most of the plans and solutions, rarely was anyone else's ideas better than his.

Gisle smiled and said, "Well, hello there, the prodigal son."

Wain smiled back, "How are you? Judging by what you've managed to build during my absence, I should have given you a gold crown to complete the picture."

"Huh, it wasn't my fault. I told Clovis how many buildings we needed, and he acted as he saw fit. I would have built hundreds of small, square rooms like boxes in his place. That would have been the most efficient option." Said Gisle.

Wain shrugged, "Yeah, but it would be bad for the emotional state of the people living here."

"So far, they're still only happy with the fact that they're alive. It's too early for me to think about such profound things. At the moment, the most important thing is to build strength." Said Gisle.

Gisle gestured to Wain to sit down, after which he said, "Tell me. Where have you been for two months? That's a pretty long time."

"I evolved. It took such a long time. It was a surprise even to me." Said Wain.

"Hmm, I see. Good thing I'm finding that out now. Some of our people are already getting close to evolving. What's more, even I'll be ready to evolve in about a week." Said Gisle.

"What will you do? If you disappear for two months, will this place fall apart?" Asked Wain.

Gisle shrugged, "I don't know, but I think I'll figure something out. What's more, it's probably each person's own timing and conditions. Maybe because you're powerful, your body took longer than most of us."

"Maybe you're right." Said Wain and slipped his hand under his cloak.

Then the Ring of Damned glowed, and a pack of cigarettes appeared in Wain's hands. Wain wanted to smoke, but it wasn't meant to be.

"Shit, I completely forgot I didn't have any more cigarettes. Gisle, do you happen to smoke?" Wain asked.

Gisle shook his head, "No."

"Are you a health-conscious person?" With a touch of irony in his voice, Wain asked.

"Are you kidding me? How do you think I have the moral strength to care about what I eat during the apocalypse?" 

Gisle then opened a drawer in the desk, "I don't smoke, but I knew you liked that, so I saved one pack of high-end cigarettes for you."

Gisle took a dark blue pack of cigarettes from the drawer and tossed them to Wain.

Wain smiled, pulled out a cigarette, and smoked. Wain blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Why is doing self-destruction such a pleasure?"

"Doing self-destruction? I'm sure with your stats, you don't get any harm from smoking. Your lungs regenerate faster than they collapse."

"Don't break the atmosphere." Said Wain and blew out a club of smoke, "What do you intend to do at the moment?"

"I had planned to develop and strengthen Last Light's position, but with you coming, my plans have changed significantly." Said Gisle.

"Last Light?"

"That's the name of our organization now. I know you're a loner, but to me, you're a loyal ally." Pronounced Gisle.

Wain nodded weakly, "How did my appearance change your plans?"

"It's simple, as soon as you came back, you destroyed one of the Sea Punisher bases, that means you're incredibly strong now, am I right?" Said Gisle.

"Yes, I won't be modest. I'm sure I'm one of the strongest people in the entire world at the moment. Evolution is something absolutely amazing." Proclaimed Wain.

"Great, so I want to invite you to participate in something interesting." Said Gisle.

"I'm listening to you carefully."

"Right now, Last Light controls 90% of the eastern part of Overion. Naturally, I want to expand our territories since I think we're pretty well established in that part of town." Said Gisle.

"You mean to tell me that in two months, you've managed to solve the problem of housing, food, water, and security?" Asked Wain.

"Sure." Gisle replied confidently, "Normally, this would be impossible, but I have dozens of people with superpowers in my charge. The strongest of them agree with my actions, so no one dares to contradict me. In a situation like this, it's very easy to get incredible results."

"I see, go on."

"Besides us in this part of Overion, there is another organization, and that is the Sea Punishers. There were others, but some joined us, and some were destroyed. I did not fight the Sea Punishers as there was no advantage. It would have been a pointless sacrifice. But, with you, the situation will change dramatically." Said Gisle.

"You want to deal with them with the least amount of loss, I see, but what's in it for me?" Asked Wain.

Gisle shrugged, "Honestly, nobody. I'm telling you this in the hope that this plan will appeal to you or seem profitable for some reason. After all, after we are the only rulers here, I had planned to go to the northern part of Overion."

"I see. You want to negotiate with the other strongest organizations and unite the entire city." Proclaimed Wain, but suddenly Gisle shook his head.

"No, it's not like that at all. I want to start a war, and I will attack without warning. I don't want alliances. I must be the only ruler in Overion. Alliances are only possible with other cities, but that I haven't decided yet." Said Gisle.

Wain smiled broadly and said, "All right, I agree. Do we take prisoners?"

"Of course, we need strong allies and manpower, but they shouldn't keep me from developing the organization." Said Gisle.

Wain immediately agreed to the venture because it was a good coincidence. The soul needed to unlock the third form was in the northern part of Overion.

Moreover, Wain liked the idea of capturing one of the four parts of the city in a single assault. It was something he wanted to be a part of.

"Huh. To think, the apocalypse has started, there are thousands of monsters around, and we're thinking about how to make war on other people." Laughing, Wain said.

"Actually, nothing is surprising about that, and so far, no powerful enemies have emerged. Maybe not enough time has passed yet. Maybe it's me being such a good leader, I don't know."

"I agree. People never change. By the way, how many Dungeon and Nest are under your control?"

"Four Dungeon and two Nest, though, given that you destroyed the Sea Punisher base on the beach, Last Light now has five Dungeon under its control." Said Gisle.

"By the way, why didn't you take that Dungeon? Wasn't it worth it?" Asked Wain.

"That's right, in my opinion, it wasn't worth it. That Dungeon is populated by underwater monsters, and it's inconvenient to fight there. But, the most important factor is that, for now, we have enough Dungeons."

"I see. If there were a need, you would act differently. Okay, I get your point. When do we go to destroy the Sea Punishers and take over the north?" Smiling Wain asked.

"I didn't think it would happen that fast, but it takes twelve hours to prepare."

"Excellent, that's fine with me. I still have one more question. How do you plan to cross the canyons that divide the city? How will we get to the northern part of Overion?" 

"I've already thought about it, and I have a plan. It's simple, we'll use our tree supplies, and Clovis will build a bridge. It won't be hard." Said Gisle.

Wain nodded, "I'll be here in twelve hours, looking forward to it."

"This is going to be the greatest event in a while. If we are to be one of the leading forces in the new world, we must fight, kill, and capture. That's the path I've chosen." Said Gisle.

Wain smiled and, before he left, said, "Don't forget alliances, some enemies may not be powerful, but they will make too much trouble when fighting."
