I didn't dwell on the choice for long. I decided to head directly for the two jewels. Karoline and Hilary's forces were struggling, yes, but they needed these hard foes to conquer if they were ever going to mature into the elite force I required.
They needed to bleed a little more. Besides, I had already called forth all my scattered forces from the West.
In less than twelve hours, they would begin appearing on the Eastern front, providing all the heavy lifting and support those two girls needed to finish their campaigns.
My priority was stationing myself at the MIT campus to begin the grand upgrade plan for our firearms. I also had the dungeon keys burning a hole in my inventory.
My schedule was a logistical nightmare: I had one day to take full control of the two cities, arrange the initial research framework at MIT, and then begin the cycling of my troops into the dark gold dungeons.
Phew! My schedule was getting tight and intense, even for me.
