Chapter 1198 Winning The Aerial Battle
I watched the three sides getting entangled with each other, while the Hescos fell into sudden chaos thanks to such a scheme.
They were just having absolute advantage, this close from crushing my forces and being supreme in the sky.
They were just this close from turning this entire battle to their favour. Even when my forces retreated, they looked like headless flies, taking them all the way over to the precious dens and the priceless line of support of my warriors.
I could imagine their line of thoughts, how even their leaders envisioned turning the table of this brutal war around.
The tables did indeed turn, but opposite to what they expected. The more I thought about what these two sneaky generals did, the more I laughed.
It was great to have such capable people on my side. And that proved my earlier choice of supporting this kid was right.
I watched the Hescos getting entangled in between the two armies that appeared all of sudden. They tried to fight back, but the first kick was really bad.
The Hescos were still having the upper hand in terms of numbers. But under the sudden ambush, their numbers didn't matter much.
The two armies that came from the front and back moved in unison to achieve one goal; divide the Hescos. Under the panic that Hescos felt, this plan worked brilliantly well.

Fighting millions in one go was insane to any force no matter what. But when the Hescos got divided into many smaller groups, things became much easier for my forces.
The apaches merged with the remaining forces of the suits, dived deeper into the lines of the Hescos. The Hescos had to divide up to evade getting killed. And those who were brave enough to stand in the way of the incoming apaches and suits were mercilessly slain.
As for the main killers, this job was left over for the zombies. It was a reasonable and logical decision. After all, the two generals could lead the apaches and suits, but not the zombies.
The zombies moved in ferocious ways, killing every single Hescos standing in their path. As they were still retaining their bloody nature, they grouped over the Hescos, killing them group by group.
That made few of Hescos escape, but it didn't matter much. The ones who were lucky enough to escape such a tight net were either hunted down by the suits and apaches, or shot down by the ground weapons.
It was a total massacre, and the Hescos tried to run everywhere, resulting in expanding the magnitude of this battle to cover the entire sky over the central region.
No matter where they tried to run to, they got shot and killed in the end. Only a few managed to escape to the sky over their crumbling defensive zone, managing to escape with their lives intact.
In less than two hours, the grand number of Hescos diminished by almost fifty percent. The remaining ones were trying their best either to escape, or group together and form a last standing battle for them.
I saw many Hescos coming to their rescue from far away. But no matter what, the moment these reinforcements arrived, more flying zombies appeared to reinforce my forces, entrapping the incoming reinforcements of Hescos, rendering them powerless and pointless.
After this getting repeated for a few times, the Hescos seemed to give up saving their entrapped forces. It made sense to take such a decision, or else they'd end up sending more of their elites to their demise.
From what I noticed, the flying Hescos entrapped there seemed to be the main force they had. After five hours, the entrapped Hescos seemed to lose close to their eighty percent, and the rest were on the verge of getting killed.
During this time, the ground battle became more bloody than before. The Hescos were like wounded beasts after the big loss of their flying legions.
So they tried to make up to that loss by sending more elites to the ground battles. My ground forces got stuck to their positions, unable to step forward anymore.
But for anyone with little brain, it was obvious such a stalemate was temporary. The moment the aerial battle ended, the flying lesions on my side would join and that would turn the ground battle to my favour.
The ground forces seemed to get a grasp of that situation. So even with the desperate retaliation coming from the Hescos, they stood their grounds and didn't retreat nor budge.
They kept fighting bloody battles, losing too much in short hours. But that was worth it. After eight hours, the entire aerial battle power of the Hescos got annihilated successfully. And now it was time for the aerial force to join the battle.
The moment that happened, the ground forces of Hescos looked as weak as paper. They couldn't stop the advance of my ground forces supported by the aerial apaches, suits, and zombies.
When I thought this was going to snowball and be the spark that'd take down the entire defensive zone, the Hescos activated their scary defensive weapon.
A shield started to appear over the defensive zone, coming from the deepest parts and slowly approaching. This defensive shield had the power to take down most of my forces. And even I knew it was going to be nasty.
The first thing the generals did was to call back the remaining suits and apaches. These two forces were priceless and hard to make and acquire. The same also happened to the ground forces which moved back, leaving behind enough forces to act as fodders.
The forces they left behind were mainly the remnants of the first armies that arrived here. They were lacking any cultivating, without enough power to take down Hescos.
But against defences, they were enough to bring harm just like any other forces I had. So by leaving them behind, the Hescos were forced to keep their focus over them.
Chapter 1199 A Big Mistake
Combined with the scary and frantic zombies on the ground and in the air, the Hescos would be forced to aim at these forces.
If they did, then such an attack they prepared would lose its effect. And if they pushed this attack over this force and headed after the retreating main bulk of my ground army, they might get more disappointed.
The retreating forces were running mad like their lives depended on it. And that wasn't an exaggeration. I estimated for them to reach the safe place of the central region before the arrival of that scary shield over the leftover forces.
If I was Hescos, I'd have to accept such a loss. The attack was enough to wipe out my entire forces out there, and would have cost me a lot if it went through.
Luckily the response of the two generals was fast enough to save the day.
Seeing their prey escape, the slowly approaching defensive shield suddenly shook and accelerated like a bolt of lightning.
"Damn! They are going to hit the retreating forces without gathering enough power? Will that work?!!" I was shocked by this, but I got nothing to say or do in this entire battle.
I was like an outsider watching from behind the fence. I couldn't do anything to interfere with things going on out there.
The hastily formed offensive strike reached my retreating forces fast. It got into the shape of that scythe-like weapon, and landed fiercely over my forces.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
I could see the ground shake, and then pure blinding light obliterated everything. The look of this strike was simply too resembling the strike that came before. Even the intensity of the light was the same.
What was going on? Didn't they need time to charge the attack up or what?
When the light faded, I got to see the final result of this attack. A circular crater was formed in the outer regions of the defences. It looked the same as the one that appeared before, but when I checked the area around it, I felt great relief.
The forces didn't lose too much in such an attack, mostly they got wounded and nothing more. The wounds that they got varied from very dangerous to mild, but they were still alive.
"They had to cast the attack when it wasn't fully charged up. That made the power inside much weaker than it should be," I understood what happened when I noticed the small toll of death and the wounded people on the ground.
The attack engulfed almost one third of the retreating forces, ending up killing no more than five percent of this part. As for the wounded, they amounted to almost fifty percent.
Considering the grave fate they should have been at, I knew this was the best result I could dream of.
The crater that appeared wasn't as deep as the one that appeared before. While I was checking over what was going on, I noticed the wounded forces getting up on their feet by the help of others, continuing their path of retreat as if nothing happened.
Part of the forces out there helped their injured comrades, while the rest turned their weapons at the Hescos again. When they charged, the enemy ended up getting pushed hard and fell in front of their mighty charge.
Seeing themselves being this close from death doors made their might explode with such ferocity. For the next few hours, the Hescos couldn't stop the madly charging forward forces on my side, ending up retreating almost the same distance my forces claimed so far.
But even with pure rage and such scary will, my forces couldn't help but decelerate after a point.
They did extremely well so far, destroying all the towers they met. However when they went deeper, they were met with many defensive shields that they had to fight against.
At first these shields didn't amount to much. But gradually, these shields became pain in the as*. I watched my forces forced to a halt after ten hours of their initial charge, unable to overcome these shields.
At first, these forces got the help from the reinforcements pouring into that world and the constant firing coming from distant weapons. But as they advanced too fast, the incoming forces from the central portal took longer to arrive.
Adding to the picture the fact that with each advancement, they had to cover a much wider area, fight more enemies at the same time, and my forces were facing a difficult time dealing with this.
In addition to this, the weapons at the far distance couldn't match up with their advancement speed. At first the weapons stopped firing for a few minutes, moved forward and resumed firing.
But now the weapons stopped for almost an hour and they seemed to need another hour to get into position.
Moving such huge weapons took a long time, especially when their movement speed was already slow. In addition to that, their ammunition seemed to run low, and many weapons were on standby for the incoming ammunition from the pocket world.
It would take quite the time to bring these ammunition. And so the forces at the forefront had to depend on themselves to get past these shields and the tons of enemies lying beyond.
"It's time to strike a defensive line there," I knew with everything happening, keeping the forces advancing wasn't going to work.
It was better to take a step back, build a strong defensive line using the awesome defences out there. Doing this would preserve most of the lives of my offensive forces, and at the same time it would buy time for other forces to get ready to join this battle.
But unlike what I expected, the two generals didn't command these forces to stand their ground and defend. Instead I saw the forces trying their best to take down these shields and forces lying behind.
This led to grave losses, a move that I couldn't fully understand. Despite most of the losses coming from the zombies, it was still a big loss.
Chapter 1200 Crazy! This Is Crazy!!
The area my forces were securing right now was huge. Just stretching out the forces into the grand circle around the sturdy shields took almost half of the entire forces present at that world.
If these two generals decided to hold their positions for a few hours, then the coming warriors would join them and increase their numbers. Also the weapons would be in position to join the battle and with the new ammunition they'd be able to take down any enemy standing in their path.
However this didn't happen. And the forces kept fighting such desperate battles without proper reasons. I looked at the general battle, not knowing what was going on in the heads of Legend and the other grand general.
Legend and that grand general proved to be smart enough to not fall into such silly mistakes. So I waited, patiently observing the entire battlefield without blinking.
I knew there must be a good reason for them to do so. And I hoped that reason would be worth such sacrifice.
Just while I was waiting for their trick up their sleeve to come into light, I saw the ground in the middle of my forces suddenly cave down as many holes appeared.
Dammit! These were the underground Hescos legions!
Seeing this made me feel very enraged. I knew this was a perfect opportunity for the Hescos, one that their leaders wouldn't let slip by their fingers at all.
On one hand, my generals let a chance to fall a step back and recuperate slip by. And on the other hand, the enemy finally found a break point and moved towards it with all their might.
As the holes appeared, I spotted a large number of flying Hescos coming from the deepest parts of this grand defensive structure.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
The Hescos never sent any more flying legions after their last big loss. I saw many flying Hescos appearing before they were called back and vanished. So seeing these flying ones again didn't surprise me.
This seemed the last bit of flying forces the Hescos could muster. And they mixed them with the deadly ambush coming from the underground Hescos.
The Hescos at last found their rhythm back. They were fighting in the most perfect formation they could use in any battle, the most familiar formation they were used to fighting with.
This looked bad! Seeing the exhausted and over stretched forces facing such deadly attacks from the air and the holes made me envision losing most, if not all of them.
Wrong... this was all wrong! I looked at the massacre that started with deep rage. At this moment, I felt what the Hescos previously felt when they were this close from winning and then lost.
I clenched my fists, controlling the urge to go directly towards that world. Being there would turn things around, but I'd have to pay a hefty price to correct such mistakes made by the two generals.
Did they get overwhelmed by the continuous victories they achieved so far? Were they over their heads and missed the right moment to act humble and retreat?
Just when I was feeling like being in hell, I saw a sudden change happening out there.
The Hescos seemed to throw everything over this attack. The number of the underground Hescos coming was already in millions. As for the incoming ground forces on their side, they didn't pale in comparison.
I could see tens of millions coming fast from the deeper parts of this defensive structure. These forces seemed like the elites reserved for the last stand battle. And this one looked like this.
My last hope was for the far away warriors to find a way to come directly to aid my entrapped forces. It looked like a miracle, one that seemed impossible to happen.
No matter what I thought about it, my forces out there were doomed!
But the miracle I hoped for happened, and it didn't come from the direction I anticipated.
My focus was divided over the entire battlefield. Until the grand number of elites appeared at that battle, my warriors were still so far away from it.
I knew it was already a lost case. Even if I held little hope for it to turn around, even if this hope was as slim as a thin paper, it was crushed now.
I watched the incoming elite forces joining the fight. The lines entangling out there got crushed and acted like a grand earthquake just hit the land.
Yet when I looked closer, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide. The forces that came, no matter how I looked at them, they all looked like my warriors!
I even saw many weapons made by my research department in the mix. Deadly waves of attacks landed over the Hescos and their forces, claiming endless lives in mere minutes.
On top of that, the forces that came spread all over the place, fought against everyone around, killing their way all over the place.
In just a few minutes, the entire situation looked hectic and crazy like it was a dream. I couldn't even understand what was going on out there, but one thing was certain; this was going to be my victory!
The Hescos who appeared from the ground holes or flew in the sky were now entrapped again. Their connection with the back forces of theirs was cut sharp by the suddenly appearing forces of mine.
Without any more surprises, my forces cleaved their path through the bodies of their enemies, marking a grand circular region around the Hescos using the blood of their foes.
The entire battleground went berserk! Everyone was fighting against everyone. The number of my warriors out there was simply hard to believe.
Up till the end of my sight, there were warriors fighting against the Hescos and their forces. With the fact that the Hescos already sent out their elite forces at the forefront, the entire fight didn't look that hard in my eyes.
Chapter 1201 Accepting Hescos
The moment such a crazy thing happened, which even I didn't know how it was done, the Hescos tried to counter this by recalling their forces back.
However at this moment I noticed many figures flying from all over the back region of the Hescos defences.
"Zombies? They even brought out zombies? Hahahaha! These two sneaky bastards, hahahaha!" I laughed till tears came into my eyes.
I didn't know how these two bastards did it, but that didn't make me less happier. I watched the Hescos fighting in a desperate way against everyone everywhere, acting like headless flies who got thrown into the middle of fire.
No matter what they did, no matter where they tried to go, everywhere was now filled with my forces. Ground or sky, my forces filled everywhere.
These two little bastards really outdone it this time. Even I got tricked by them, and I still didn't know how they managed to do it!
The previously hard to win battle turned into such chaotic and guerilla-like warfare. The forces of both sides kept fighting nonstop, all trying to keep themselves alive.
For Hescos and their allied forces, this turned into a fight for survival. Winning or losing didn't become an issue for them anymore. They couldn't keep themselves alive to begin with.
As for my forces, they moved like dragons in the sky. They were unstoppable, killing anywhere they went, and they were helping each other all over the vast battleground.
When the fight turned to cover up the entire grand defensive structure, I could finally see it as a whole. The defences were built over a grand space that was at least three times the size of my capital. And my capital was indeed massive.
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
That made me think about something. Did we trespass into the capital of the Hescos in that world by accident? That might explain what just happened so far.
Or else how could they build such a grand defensive zone, with the edges showing signs of still under construction.
I now realised why the Hescos tried to risk hitting my forces with everything they got. They seemed strong and mighty, but their defences were still incomplete. And so their forces had to take the risk to save what remained of the completed zones.
That was in the past. Right now they were trying to find a path away from the defences and run for their lives. Many succeeded, but most of their troops were trapped in the middle of my forces, getting killed without any chance to fight back.
I watched all this in cold blood, feeling nothing but pride in my forces and generals. I reached such a stage thanks to my preparations, ones that took me tons of resources and lots of time.
If I didn't do a single thing of what I struggled to do before, this victory wouldn't be real.
Be it training the troops out there at the training grounds, gaining capable generals and talents like Legend and others, establishing the research department, or even trying the crazy solution of Loran and his people.
This was like a grand scheme that I never intended from the start but everything seemed to fill in their positions. Without a single factor, things would have ended up bad.
I felt lucky, lucky that each step I took, every decision I made was right. I was blessed by this, and that was just part of my strength.
I inhaled it deep, feeling how it was great to crush my enemies and end up victorious. I watched how such a mighty race who ruled over the entire universe was getting smashed by my forces.
It felt awesome! And when I thought about the recording I was promised with by Silverlining, I felt more ecstatic about it.
The battle seemed to go on forever, but I knew it was almost over. The remaining forces of Hescos weren't even enough to bring me any headache or put out a fight anymore.
"Lily," after watching many Hescos escape and the rest were unable to enjoy the same chance, I decided, "send out envoys inside, tell these two to start accepting surrender."
"Are we going to take control of these Hescos?!" Lily seemed speechless. She was like the others, not knowing what was going on at the other side of the portal.
So it seemed shocking when I said it. For her, for everyone, the best case scenario was for our forces to push the enemy back and control enough area to control.
None of them imagined we could reach this point, the point that we have the ability to accept surrendering Hescos forces.
"Just hurry and send envoys out," I paused before adding, "after controlling the place there, they have to keep pushing forward. We need to find a portal out there to link it with here."
"O… Ok…" Lily's face was expressing how deeply shocked she was. She exchanged looks with others before she and many generals started to send out their people.
They were curious to know what happened, and so they decided to send their people there to check out what went on out there.
They didn't know that I planned to get the recording tapes of this battle, showcase it all over my capital. It was a golden chance, and I wouldn't let it go.
I waited for half an hour before finally seeing a majestic scene. All over the entire battlefield, many forces fell to the ground, abandoning the fight and issuing their surrender.
I watched hundreds of thousands of Hescos, even millions fall to their knees, raise their hands over their heads, stopping fighting and announcing their decision to surrender.
As for the allied races who fought under the Hescos banner, they were in tens of millions.
These races were mostly fodders, weak to not be considered proper forces. But if I got them and sent them with my forces out, they could work as good fodder, saving the deaths of many of my forces.
Chapter 1202 Glory!
Once the fire of surrender spread, the entire battle came to an abrupt end. I wasn't able to hear anything at all from that world, but I was sure there were cries of victory thundering the entire world out there.
My forces deserved this glory. I even planned to perform a grand ceremony to award and decorate the ones who excelled in their missions after the end of this fifth quest.
I watched the forces standing there jumping around and looking happy. As they deserved these moments, I took out many contracts and sent them with Lily's and other generals' people out there to bind the surrendering forces under my will.
After the end of the fight, there was something that remained a problem for me. It was these zombies.
The one hundred and fifty dens produced from the orbs before were still producing zombies nonstop. I felt it a waste to just let these zombies stand there without doing anything.
They lost a lot, almost most of the zombies which appeared so far were killed or wounded. But I knew in a few days time, the zombies coming out from these dens would be enough to cover this entire zone of the world.
As I started up this big, ending up claiming such a highly defended place of the Hescos in that world. So why wouldn't I send my zombies loose and let them go out and attack the world freely?
Without any more hesitation, I decided to send these zombies around with a single task; resurrect the zombie terror in that world.
Of course I could control them by my mind, but I couldn't see or follow their tracks. So when I sent them over, I also sent a word through envoys to the two generals out there to select few and capable people to follow these zombies.
Soldiers had all the right to celebrate, but generals carried the burden of the entire world. They wouldn't feel relieved until war was over and the entire world was controlled.
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
Such a far -fetched goal was hard to achieve. Even on Earth, I couldn't aim to control it yet. But using the zombies, the troops that I could throw and leave to ruin without any worry about losing them, then achieving such a goal wasn't a problem anymore.
The best goal I'd hope for would be to take control of an entire continent or something like that. As for the entire world, it could be postponed for another time.
[Brother, you are domineering! You are awesome! You are the man!]
Just while I was lost in thinking about the future lying ahead, I received a message from Silverlining. I laughed while responding:
[I was about to contact you. About that recording and the gears needed to play them, can you send these over?]
[Sure! You don't know how big your name is now in my people. You are a hero! And if you keep performing in such a great way, you'll turn into a legend!]
[Thanks, it's all thanks to your support] I tried to act a little humble despite the fact that my smile never ceased to appear over my face.
[Don't be like that! You aren't the first or the only one we tried to support. But bro, you rock! You made these bastards look like a low level race, hahahahaha!]
I laughed when I read that. It might be a lucky encounter, or perhaps the Hescos never imagined facing me would turn out to be this challenging.
But as I won, as most of this came from my preparations, I deserved to feel this happiness and pride.
[About the recording and the gears...]
[Don't worry bro, anything you desire will be fulfilled instantly. And it's on the house. Ah, many sovereigns are showing their warm support to you right now. So expect something great in the next few days]
[You don't need to do that] I laughed evilly. Of course I'd not say no to anything like that. If they wanted to give me free goods, then I'd be a fool to say no.
[No, you deserve it bro. In tens of thousands of years, we never had such an awesome show or amazing victory. This is the least we can do for you. And this is nothing compared to the grand prize you'll get if you managed to show us more of these interesting battles]
[Pray my forces will appear at places with Hescos next time] I laughed while implying over the possibility of not having such a chance easily.
After all, I had no control over the place where my portals would open.
[Don't worry about that. We have a plan in motion]
[What plan?] I curiously asked.
[We are going to spread that recording all over the universe of course, hahahaha!] He seemed very excited about this.
[Are you going to force them to fight back for their honour? You do know this will backfire at me, right?] I rolled my eyes. They didn't need to do anything like that to be honest.
The news would spread all over the universe without the need to share this recording. Even if the Hescos didn't mind others, they would still find it painful to lose to me in such a way.
It wasn't just a simple victory, it was a crushing victory, one that left them with a terrible scar over their pride and dignity.
Of course if the Toranks took the initiative to handle such a thing, then the name of humans, the name of my kingdom, my name would spread all across the universe.
I would say no to such a thing.
[Hahahaha! Don't worry, they are limited by the rules of the quest right now. With the might you showed, and the brilliant tactics you used, the next fights won't be that bad]
I didn't have as much confidence as him. He didn't know, but I knew that most of the weapons used were either destroyed or ran empty on ammunition.
Chapter 1203 Getting The Records Of The Battle
We lost tons of apaches, most of the suits, and many weapons were decommissioned after the attacks of the Hescos.
If I wanted to replicate such a result again, it would take a long time to prepare before aiming for another crushing victory.
At the same time, most of this victory was done by the brilliant generals of mine. I knew I got great generals, but I couldn't be that sure that other generals would be on the same calibre as these two.
The secret of victory was the timely actions of these two generals. Not to mention the last trick that even I didn't know how they did it.
There were many variables if I tried to replicate the same result again. That goes without saying that the needed preparations of weapons and suits would take a long time to get done.
As I went into silence, Silverlining seemed to read my thoughts wrongly.
[Don't worry that much. The defences you just crushed are well known in the entire universe as the Hescos lair. It's very famous and very formidable defensive tactic that even my people will find it hard to crush]
[Oh, that defensive structure is famous?] I was surprised when I heard about that.
I knew how special these defences were, but never thought this was a well known defensive formation of the enemy.
That made sense actually. Such grand and complicated formation wasn't something that could be done on a whim.
If it was a well known formation, that meant it was the fruit of many great minds contributing to it over a long course of time. And that made my victory even more shocking.
[It is! The Hescos rarely lost a fight while using such formation. Despite that's partially because the current quest stage is low, and there was no paragons stationed out there when you attacked, but it's still pretty impressive to crush it]
[I got what you mean] I knew he was trying to tell me that I crushed the hardest defences Hescos might use in fighting me. And as they were limited by the quest low level, this meant the upcoming fights wouldn't pose that much of a challenge.
However I also knew this wasn't entirely true. However I decided to end the discussion here with Silverlining as I asked again about the recording and the gears needed to make it run.
[Wait for one hour, I'll prepare these for you]
I closed the chat with him, took another glance over the world of Hescos. The surrendered troops there were signing the contracts sent to them. At the same time, the forces were starting to form and reorganise themselves.
This war was won on a huge price of losing too much. Especially at the last stretch where most of my forces got entrapped in the middle of Hescos forces coming from air, ground, and underground.
So the previously formed armies lacked enough forces to be called proper armies again. Reforming all these was a must, and that meant the two generals were starting to operate once more.
In addition to that, many forces went all over the place, exploring this massive and complicated defensive place. Despite many towers being damaged either by us or as collateral during the last battle, the entire place was still useful as a base.
What it really lacked was portals. If it got portals, then I'd call this the perfect base for my forces in that world.
But there was not a single portal. For such a grand structure that spanned over hundreds of miles, it was quite weird to not have a single portal there.
I wanted to ask Silverlining about that, but there was a better question than that.
[Can you send me everything you know about that grand defensive structure?] As one hour passed, I sent this over to him while waiting for him to fulfil his promise.
[I'll send you the details in one day] he paused before adding, [I don't have such great knowledge about that design. Let me ask around and gather everything known about such a hard to crack design. Once I gathered everything, I'll send them over]
[Cool!] I got what he meant. Such grand defensive design wasn't that easy to handle, or else it wouldn't be a nightmare to many, including the Toranks.
And as he was a low levelled dude, it made sense he didn't know much about it. So he had to ask around, and I appreciated that.
[I'll send the recording and gears over right away]
[How many copies did you prepare for me?] I wanted at least ten copies to use. If more then it'd be great.
[A thousand copies] yet the number he said left me speechless for a few seconds. [Hahahaha! Are you surprised? Don't! You did a great job and my people already made tons of copies to distribute all over the universe. So it's normal to give you these]
I understood. If they were just tossing a thousand copies over like it was nothing, how many copies did they prepare? Million? Millions? Damn!
I felt hesitated before deciding to go on with it. If they wanted to make me a celebrity, then I should accept the fire coming from being a public figure.
In the next minute I received what he sent. The records he sent were in the form of a ball that had a central hole in it. It was big enough to be like the size of my head.
As for the gears that would operate these, they came in the shape of a huge box. The box was almost double my height, and it had a hole for placing the recording ball at.
It looked like a drawer, with a pipe that extended from its middle and went like an arc over the device. There was no button, no wheel, nothing to activate this thing.
[How can I use this?] After failing to find anything to turn this thing on, I finally asked Silverlining.
Chapter 1204 Playing The Records
[Just place the recording ball inside the device and it will run automatically without the need to do anything] he sent such a simple instruction and I felt curious about how this device would work.
I placed a device over my chariot, got one ball and let it slide inside the hole on top of this device.
The moment the ball entered there, I heard several katcha sounds before the device started to shimmer in silver white light.
It wasn't the entire device that shone. The device got lines that didn't appear before which shone. I noticed that the light was growing from the bottom all the way up, and all the lines were converging at that arched pipe.
When all the lines shone, the pipe also shone with the same light. It turned from a cold looking pipe into a wisp of flame, and then a bright light came out from its tip, travelling for a mile before ending up to form a grand screen in the sky.
Despite the world being bright right now, the projection coming out from this device made the world look dim. The device started to play the recording, and it started from the first moment the portal opened at the Hescos world.
Once the screen appeared and the pictures showed up there, all the people in the capital and in the tens of miles around stopped what they were doing, raised their heads to the sky, and watched that glorious battle.
Unlike my feed from earlier, this one came with sound embedded in it. So even I couldn't resist watching it play again, while listening to all the noises that made these scenes livelier.
Even if I watched all this from the first seat, watching it again made me feel like I had never seen such a thing before.
The recording starts with the arrival of my forces to that world, a thing that I saw before. What was new over this recording was that it also showed part of the Hescos forces.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
In fact I could simply change the angel and camera recording that battle to show a new perspective about what happened from a different angel.
I grew curious. What was Hescos doing when this invasion started? How did they deploy their troops when I tried to attack the defensive ring? How did they react when I got the upper hand? When they tried to turn the tables around and failed?
And the most important question of all; what did they do when there was no other path out except by dying or surrendering?
As I grew curious about all this, I lost interest in watching this feed anymore. So I simply started jumping around, starting the same show all over the kingdom.
I went to the other world, the pocket world, and even sent such recordings to the fighting forces of mine in other worlds as well.
I wanted to show off that I sent that recording to Fang. I wanted everyone here to know this, humans weren't weak anymore.
We could crush anyone, including the best.
Even little Qi found itself forced to watch the recording.
Once I spread almost half of the recordings I got, I found myself a nice place where I sat down, placed the device on the ground, and started watching the recording.
I changed the angle of the camera, made it all show the movements of the Hescos. I watched and once the recording started, I opened a chat window and started sending messages.
After all, a good show can't be enjoyed without popcorn, right?
[Hey bro, have you seen the magnificent victory of my forces over your race? That was dope!]
I sent the message over to Wryly, knowing that he was watched by one of the Hescos at this time.
[Damn you! Just wait, and our retaliation will come swift and deadly]
Hahahaha! That dude was indeed there.
[Come on! You are all talk and wont do anything. Let the bygones be bygones and come here and watch this feed together with me. I got it all detailed and exclusive, for the pretty eyes of the Hescos like you, hahahaha!]
[F*ck you! I swear I'll come and tear you down. Death won't come this easy for you, do you hear me?]
I laughed while watching how confident the leaders and the elite fighters of Hescos were at the start of this fight. I laughed to my heart content while feeling how bad they ended up. They got destroyed, and on the hands of the same one they looked down upon.
[Fine, I'm waiting for your visit. By the way, I may be absent, so I'll prepare a welcoming ceremony for you when you come here. Don't you think using the prisoners of your race to welcome you will be a nice touch? What do you think?]
[I'm going to torture you for years, long years without anyone coming to rescue you. Even death would be a luxurious wish you won't have]
[We'll see about that. Right now I'm busy watching that movie about your glorious defeat. Go now, I'll continue watching while eating popcorn]
[F*ck you!]
This time I stopped harassing him. I'd say I did my job well enough that if he was a man, he'd take off right away and come to my kingdom.
If he came, it would be for the best as he wouldn't come alone. But if the Hescos leaders out there thought they still got a chance for a payback, then they wouldn't send anyone.
And if that happened, that meant there would be much harder obstacles waiting for me out there to crush. This defensive structure might look like something I'd crush easily next time, but I knew how hard it would be to achieve that.
If I were the Hescos, I'd support such a grand defensive structure with the mightiest forces in their armies, the ones whom they dealt great damage to before, the flying Hescos.
Chapter 1205 The Next Step
Just imagining this made me realise how hard it was going to be next time. And that in the case of these Hescos only had that kind of defence in wait for me and my forces.
I doubted that.
In brief, the upcoming fights ended up facing the same dense defences of Hescos then they'd end up being harder to win.
But who cared? Even if I lost all the remaining fights out there, even if I lost each and every single fight I had against the Hescos from now on, nothing could rip me off the honour and glory of this victory.
Reaching such a mindset made me stop playing the recording. I collected the device and the ball in it before teleporting back at the capital.
There the recording was still going on. I sent a message to Lily, Isac, Spearhead, Isabella, and Sara to come here and join me.
I was going to start a big meeting about our next fights. And in addition to those, I also sent messages to Loran and Garry as well to join us.
During that battle, I was surprised by the lots of new weapons they sent out there. Not to mention the need for more of these, the need for ammo, and the desperate need for suits as well.
For all this I decided to bring Garry over and listen to what he had to say.
As I waited for them to come, I opened the feed of the other worlds we had and watched what was going on out there.
The world of Hescos was considered now the safest world out there. The world of cities and towns with zombies was considered the second safest. While the sand world was considered the most dangerous.

Even with the people sent over there to build up defences, with all the support I tried to shower the troops there with, things didn't look that good at all.
The only good news I got from there was that more orbs were claimed during the past couple of days. With this, I could start building up more density to help my forces in other worlds.
Even using these orbs in the upcoming desperate fight that'd erupt in this world, I'd still need the aid of the zombies.
In Earth world, I have many dangers lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment to jump over me and take down what I did so far.
There were those hidden dens under the northern gulf waters and the ocean. Not to mention the already gigantic den down at the south.
Adding in the picture the Hescos waiting in the shadow, I'd swear things would turn ugly all at the same time.
If I was the Hescos, I'd aim towards a certain moment when my forces would get into deep waters, facing unstoppable and irresistible formation and forces of theirs.
It would be nicer if this came in the same time while the hidden zombie bombs exploded as well. In that case, I'd be forced to divide my forces all over the place, ending up losing too much.
And if the hidden Hescos decided to move out at this moment, things would take a wrong turn for sure.
But that would be a problem for the future. Right now I had to see what we could do, especially for the research department.
As for the orbs and zombie dens, I'd prefer to keep them stored to the right moment, giving the enemy the wrong impression I couldn't use these as easily as I wanted to.
If not for a tough Hescos world, or very deadly opponents like dark realm monsters, I'd not rush to use these at all.
"Hahahaha! Our boys did a great job out there," as everyone came to join me, the first to speak was the jerk, the spearhead.
"You didn't see anything yet," I rolled my eyes while looking at the recording. It didn't show anything yet, and all it showed was how the early battles erupted.
"But that recording won't be here if not for our forces to kick their asse*, right?" He was right about this point. However this wasn't why I called out for them here.
"Do you want to ask about the status of the weapons?" Garry went straight to the point, "I can surely tell you that we are making tons of these weapons since the war started."
"What about the suits?" This was the most important thing I wanted to ask about. Without enough suits, fighting those flying Hescos would be a pain.
"We are doing our best," his tone slightly changed, not showing the same confidence he showed before, "but we can't promise anything for the time being."
"How much can you make per day?" This was the most important question I wanted to know the answer to. If we couldn't get enough suits by the time we'd face another Hescos, it'd be better to not fight them head on from the start.
It would be much better to just explore the worlds, and mark the ones with Hescos down, leaving them for the latter time of the fifth quest.
However this also would come at the price of alerting the enemy and making them more prepared.
If I got the choice, I'd rather not lean towards such tactics at all. It'd be for the best to just take down any world I'd open, not caring about anything else.
But dreams were something that wouldn't win any battle, wouldn't bring any glory. So I waited for his answer, and he seemed to know how serious this question was as he took his time before replying.
"I'd say we can make ten thousand up to fifteen thousand suits per day… And that depends on the place we are working at."
"This…" I frowned while trying to calculate this.
The research department lied at the pocket world's deepest layer, the new world that appeared there. The time difference between that place and here was a compound sum that was equal to sixty.
Chapter 1206 You Are Going Last
That meant in one day they could make sixty up to ninety thousand suits. It might seem like a lot, but I knew it wasn't.
"Send an envoy back there, tell them to focus more on making these suits," I paused before adding, "also make sure to emphasise the importance of the apaches and other anti-air weapons."
"Are we going to fight aerial forces next?" Sara wasn't dumb, none of the ones here were.
So when I said it this way they all got the same idea. And I simply nodded.
"If the enemy plans to support his crushed defensive design against us, then the only forces they'll depend on will be the flying ones."
"Dealing with the flying Hescos is already a pain…" Isac pondered before adding, "and if they focused entirely over them, then we will face it hard next time."
"Why doesn't the lord use orbs here?" All of sudden Loran spoke about something out of context, "in the dens produced by these orbs, many flying zombies are present. If we worked this early on, giving the dens time to amass enough flying zombies, then we can have enough aerial forces to contend with them."
"But that also means we have to waste time here waiting for these dens to produce zombies," Lily showed her disapproval of such a plan, "besides these zombies are hard to control and very bloodthirsty. What if they attacked our forces?"
"That won't happen!" Loran said in defence, and I watched all this in silence.
"It may be a good way to deal with this using the flying zombies," I slowly said, "but the orbs and dens won't be used here."
Everyone looked at me and got the idea in my mind almost instantly. If all we needed was time, then I could simply use the orbs at the pocket world and get all the time we needed to.
But that also would come at a price. Using the orbs there would result in lowering the number of orbs and the future dens on my hand.

In my eyes, these orbs were strategic weapons, and I'd not simply waste them without good points.
But the solution Loran proposed was something I couldn't easily neglect. Instead of approving this, I asked: "Can we get much more of these orbs?"
"From that world we can get at least a few thousands in the next few days," Loran seemed to get my worries before adding, "not to mention there are more worlds we are going to invade. The likelihood of getting into a world filled with zombie dens is quite high."
"I think so," Isac nodded, "from what I know, the probability of opening the world into the enemy zones isn't that high. Any world at this stage of the apocalypse will be filled with ruins more than races. Even at worlds of Hescos, the probability of us invading them straight at their bases isn't that high."
"If so then let's give it a go," I turned to Garry, "but that won't lower the responsibilities of your department."
"I got it," Garry nodded.
"What about the next world? Which world will we hit next?" the spearhead asked, seemingly excited about going out and invading other worlds.
"You won't move until we face a heavily defended Hescos base," I said directly to him. Before he'd protest, I added, "the Hescos are like a wounded beast. They'll look for an opportunity to repair their damaged pride. That means the next battle with them, no matter where it was, will be a hellish one."
"But…"
"Your role is to help our forces there face off their enemies. With your ability, and as the Hescos aren't that aware of your power, things will roll out in our favour."
"But I want to fight!" The spearhead didn't want to fight, he wanted to show off. I rolled my eyes, totally ignoring him.
"Just listen to the lord, or else you'll find yourself in a bad position just like the other dude," Isabella said in warning, while winking at him.
Hearing it from his girl, and with the reminder of what happened to the jumper, the stubborn spearhead finally went into silence, accepting his fate.
"The ones here will move out to face Hescos if we ever meet a heavily fortified base," I added, "each Hescos world we'd invade from now on will have two generals. The first allocation will be for Sara, then Isabella, Isac, and finally Lily."
"Why am I at last?" Lily instantly asked.
"Why am I being forgotten?" the spearhead asked.
I ignored the spearhead while answering Lily:
"The more defeats they'll have, the more ferocious they'll be."
"So you mean that you are leaving the hardest battle for me to handle?"
"It's an honour."
"It's just trouble!"
"I'll add more generals to help you then," I rolled my eyes, and before she'd say another word I added, "and if that Legend came back before the last battle, he'll come to help you as well."
"I can work with that," she evilly smiled, making me feel I fell into her trap.
But I wasn't lying. I selected Sara to be the first one to go against the Hescos in the upcoming world. She was fierce, suitable for such a battle.
The enemy would try their best to crush our forces from the start. Knowing this meant leaning solely on defence wouldn't work.
If we used pure defence, then defeat would be certain. The only hope to overcome the upcoming challenge would be through brute force and pure offence.
The enemy wouldn't imagine that. They'd imagine I'd lean to the defence, take things easy and do it the same way I did it before.
Each general had his or her own personality. Legend was such a daring dude with brilliant tactics and unexpected moves.
With the grand general who was with him, the two looked like seasoned chess players. Anyone fighting them would find it hard to win thanks to tactics and mind games.
Chapter 1207 Getting Ready
But this wasn't true about Sara. She was a straightforward badass girl who loved to fight her enemies head on and take them down using brute force.
If the enemy tried to use tactics, then Sara wouldn't be the best general to lead this expedition. However the enemy would try to use brute force and the superior aerial abilities to crush my forces.
So it'd be better to use brute force against theirs, and see whose might was better than the other.
I stood on the side without doing anything for now. I could have opened the next world but I'd prefer to wait for the preparations of my generals to be over.
"Lord, we are ready," as I waited for almost a few hours, Loran led his people to go and bring all the orbs they captured so far from the other world.
I looked and counted, there were already a few hundred orbs down there, close to five hundred. "Grab a hundred and let's go," I said while heading towards the portal leading to the second Earth world.
The portal was already filled with many fighters moving out from the second Earth world. The armies inside were still pouring out according to our needs.
The zombie news all over the kingdom was reassuring. The zombies were under control for now. The only risk came from the western borders where the fight was still ongoing out there against dense numbers of zombies.
"Can you send people out to the western borders to take control over the dens there?" as Loran's people moved the orbs towards the pocket world in the next hour, I suddenly asked Loran about this.
"I heard the situation there isn't quite stable yet," he looked at me in doubt.
"You can take a few armies with you, venture deeper into the unknown lands beyond my kingdom, and claim these dens," I waved my arm. At this moment, my kingdom didn't lack any armies to join such a simple task.
If they could do this in the new world out there, then why wouldn't we use them to do it here? If they managed to claim dens close to the kingdom borders, things would be much calmer out there.
Not only we'd gain lots of orbs, but we could also help out forces out there. The pressure would be lesser, and the future huge battle against zombies would be much easier.
"Thanks lord, I'll go to general Lily and Isac and arrange things over with them," Loran said before retreating with his people. I started working over the orbs, turning them all into dens to produce zombies.
I gave them a single order via my mind, to stay behind and wait. They needed to accumulate their strength and build up their numbers. I wouldn't use them until we reached the next Hescos world.
I left instructions for these zombies to follow the orders of Loran, Lily, and Isac if I ever needed them to move out.
As I went back to Earth, I prayed that the next few worlds wouldn't open at Hescos' mighty bases.
Or else I'd be forced to ignore these worlds for now, and that was something I didn't want to do.
I returned and watched my generals work while the recording was still playing in the sky. Those who didn't have anything to do were watching what happened out there. And during this wait, I sent a few devices with recorded balls to the other open worlds so far to let my forces there watch.
I wanted that jerk to know how terribly bad he was performing, compared to other generals of mine. I was growing more believing in that jumper's bad luck. He was like a magnet to bad fortune.
But he had to find a way to overcome his bad luck, or else even with his supreme talent I'd be forced to throw him away.
I waited for an entire day before things became ready. The suits and apaches weren't in large batches yet, but the research department seemed to store lots of them before this entire crusade started.
In addition to these, many weapons and ammunition were delivered from the pocket world. Besides, the armies were getting amassed in large numbers, ready to join any fight at any moment.
Little Qi also helped. This qilin sent lots of flying monsters, all looking scaringly strong. With them it also sent an endless number of flying monsters which were much weaker and smaller than the others.
Looking at the capital now and the area around it made anyone's scalp grow numb out of fear. The sky was filled with endless flying monsters, and the ground was covered by endless warriors and fighters.
I didn't stand idle all this time watching my men work. I kept taking out warriors and fed them with stat crystals. Silverlining also sent large amounts of stat crystals, besides tons of warriors as well.
He said this was his personal gift, in appreciation of the grand victory I achieved. It seemed the aftermath of that shocking battle was still rolling, and that reaped me many benefits.
He promised to give me something great and nice in a few days time, a thank you gift from the sovereign of his race. He also kept updating me of many funny jokes and humiliating comments coming from different strong races and powerhouses in the universe after they watched or heard the news.
I wasn't that much interested in such news or comments. But when I listened to the tone of mockery in them, I couldn't help but feel more worried.
It seemed the upcoming battle with Hescos would be bloody and grandier than I even imagined. Just from the reactions sent to me by Silverlining I could tell how terribly bad the current situation of Hescos was.
Their absolute pride and glory was in question right now, and it was all thanks to me. So if they didn't come at me with everything they got next time, I'd believe the sun would rise from the west and not the east.
Chapter 1208 I Got Lucky
"We are ready," all the generals stood by my side, waiting for me to make my move. I looked at Sara before turning to Lily and said:
"If the next world is part of the Hescos, then Sara and the general you selected will go. I believe you prepared a good plan for that battle, right?"
Lily's face twisted a little, took a silent gaze up at Sara without saying anything. I got what she meant, it seemed Sara was very stubborn to listen to any tactic imposed by Lily and others.
"That's why there are two generals and not one," I reminded Lily, Sara, and others about this. I didn't promise to send just one but two generals out there for that reason.
Any general, any person would have one stable and fixed character. Personalities wouldn't change, even if they got hammered hard like that jerk, they were unable to change what they were born and raised upon to be.
So using two generals was the best tactic to overcome such unavoidable weakness. One general would act as a sword, and the other would be the shield.
Like that, even if I sent someone that was obsessed with offence like Sara, using a tactic minded general by her side would cover up her shortcomings.
Of course trying to dream about that general's ability to change Sara's way of doing things would be futile and hopeless. His role was to cover up her mistakes, not making them impact the entire battle.
"I see..." the eyes of Lily shone brighter when she heard my words. She seemed to not get my point from the start. But now she realised what I planned.
She looked at one general in an apologetic way. It seemed she selected someone wrongly based on her misconception. She then turned to another and he nodded at her.

She just changed the roster of the general joining the expedition without any issues. I admired her spirit, such character was priceless to my kingdom.
"As you are ready, let's start then," I took out a ticket before adding, "if the next world is a normal one, two other generals will lead the expedition there."
No one answered back as it wasn't needed. I simply activated the ticket, opening a portal to the next world before a vanguard unit moved into it.
Using the feed from that world, I could now see what was inside. The world was one that was filled with broken towns and cities, ruins everywhere.
It looked like a typical picture of the apocalypse alongside many completed dens. I saw no shadow of a being there except for zombies.
"It's a broken world with many zombie dens," I simply stated this and my generals sprinted into action.
Loran sent groups of his people down that world to claim the dens. Two generals walked through the portal with their armies. The research department didn't send anything out there, and I kept my warriors in wait as well.
"Next," this time I wasn't interested in watching the fight. This world might prove challenging at first, but once my generals controlled the towns and cities there, and Loran's men turned the dens into orbs, this world would be like a breeze.
Without any delay I activated one ticket after another. Worlds filled with zombies, other races but Hescos, and monsters appeared one by one. After opening seven worlds in a row, I felt like my luck was pretty good this time.
Lily kept sending generals in pairs to these worlds. At first the atmosphere around was chilling and heavy. Yet after opening seven safe tickets, that tension loosened.
However, the eighth ticket didn't show the same luck as before.
Even after seven lucky tries, I never loosened my guard. I kept sending vanguard units first, scouring the entire world there before making a decision about the next move.
The moment the eight vanguard unit entered that world, I saw a grand scene of armies waiting out there. The sky was filled to the brim with people wearing suits in different colours, and the ground was endlessly covered with ground forces.
Grand towers stood around, alongside formidable looking walls and a complicated set of defences.
When I looked closer, I could see the defensive structure out there slightly different than the one we crushed before.
This one was similar from the first look, with the main difference of the arrangement of walls.
The previous complicated set of defences was built like a grand city. Unlike that, this structure looked like layers separated by walls.
Each outer layer was built over slightly higher ground than the inner one. Looking at this setting from high above made it look like I was watching a grand circular mountain with a central huge hole with defences built on its slope.
It looked scary, especially when that mountain didn't show any sign of stopping at the horizon. I got the feeling that the edges of this grand setting were going to touch the pillars of the distant sky if this kept going on for the end of the world.
There were two possible scenarios for this; either the Hescos built a grand mountain-like structure to be like this or they dug the ground to do such an unbelievable thing.
For me, the second option seemed more logical. The Hescos had the ground digger forces and they could transform any terrain fast and without much ado.
It would be easier to dig the ground for miles and form such an amazing scene and change the entire terrain of this part of the world.
No matter how amazed I was, I knew this was simply bad news for me and my forces.
The vanguard unit once stepped there couldn't live for more than one minute. Different types of attacks landed and obliterated their bodies within a few seconds, ending up killing the entire squad of ten thousand in no time.
In the middle of all these attacks I spotted new weapons used. "They are using tech based weapons and much fiercer gear to defend this place," this was worse news without doubt.
Chapter 1209 You Will Join This Battle To Win It
I got the upper hand partially thanks to the weapons my research department invented. But that wasn't exceptionally unique in the entire universe.
There were many scary weapons and gears out there already. For example my scary chariot could be counted as one of them. My glaive also would count as well.
I bought lots of weapons to install over my chariot, and from the incoming rays of light I recognised the attack pattern of a few of them.
These Hescos were really prepared. Just taking a general look again at that weird terrain made me feel bad.
"Lord, what happened out there?" seeing me fall into deep silence after the entry of the vanguard unit, Lily couldn't help but ask.
"Make a room," I didn't answer her directly and started to draw the structure I saw in that glimpse on the back of my chariot.
Once the vanguard unit was killed, it looked like my connection with that world got severed. My feed turned off, and I couldn't peep again at the defences there.
I drew as best as I could, recalling every single detail in my mind. I knew I must have missed lots of details, but this was inevitable.
As I drew, the hushes around me ceased. My generals were all smart people and they got what my drawing meant.

They knew that the world had Hescos, and from the drawing on the chariot they got the feeling that this battle was going to be insane.
"This is the defensive structure built out there…" I knew just by drawing they wouldn't get the entire picture of that place. So I had to speak in more detail, describing the true horror of that defence structure.
My words were for everyone, but mainly for Isac. Silverlining sent me a copy of that defensive design and a few of its variations a few hours ago. And Isac was focused on studying them since then.
I finished speaking, turned to look at Isac and waited for her experienced opinion. Just from the dark look on her face I knew things were going to be bad.
"Lord… You must join this battle," the first thing she said was this shocking. I looked in doubt towards her before saying:
"You do know that after taking that world for more than a day, and with the zombies on the run and searching with our forces there, we didn't get to find a single town or city, not even a scrap of a portal was found there."
My words weren't false at all. Since that win, my forces have been trying their best to look for portals. The zombies pushed their way through many places, all we found were defensive spots and enemies, not a single portal was found out there yet.
I didn't know what the Hescos did, but they managed to seal all the portals in that world and made them vanish. It was an unbelievable feat, but that was the reality out there.
If they managed to do this to that world, then it was safe to assume they did the same to other worlds they controlled. Going there without a way to return meant I'd have to leave this place for a long time.
They wouldn't be able to enter other worlds like that until my return. I got why she wanted me to go there. In such complicated and seemingly impossible to crack defences, only I was able to create a miracle out there.
Sending out tons of forces wouldn't work. The forces had to show up at the rock bottom of that world. And it was just something scary to think about their future after that.
Having to struggle to climb all the way from bottom to top, fighting against such thick rays of defences and defending forces, was indeed impossible.
Forget about sending two armies out there, I got the feeling that if I sent most of my armies and fought desperately there, even if I threw everything I got out there, the best result would be just claiming a few layers and not more.
On the other hand, the losses would be unimaginable. All the preparations I did so far would be futile. In the end, I'd not be able to achieve anything, and would lose too much of my stored up power.
Without me going out there, nothing good would come. But the price for me to do that was indeed heavy. So I looked at Isac, Lily, and others, waiting for them to make up their minds.
"You do know that we are being eyed by many," I knew taking such decision wasn't easy, but I didn't show any leniency towards that as I added more darkness to the general picture, "if I'm right, then when I'm gone, many enemies will jump over and try to shred everything we achieved."
My words stopped there, but the meaning was obvious. If I took such a step, then they would by all means stand like an unmovable mountain in front of all the enemies who'd dare to come.
"Are you going alone?" Lily tried to be shameless, but I didn't let her plan go through.
"I'll still take many with me," I shrugged, "I can't conquer the world alone."
"Come on, you are our mighty lord, you can do it," Lily said with a short laugh that didn't look like one. I knew her evil mind's tricks, and I wouldn't fall into any of these right now.
This moment was very crucial. As I didn't answer her, Sara stepped forward and said, "I want to join this."
"Me too," the spearhead also stepped forward. When I looked at him in a weird way, I realised that the reason for him to step forward was because of Isabella.
She was just about to move, but spearhead movement startled her and made her pause in her tracks.
"That's not going to work," I slowly shook my head, "Sara and ten other generals will join. Sara will act alone, the other ten will divide into two grand armies led each by a grand general aside from these ten," I slowly spoke out, explaining my arrangement and plan that I hastily thought of at the stage.
Chapter 1210 I'm Alone Is Enough
"Why?" Isac was the first to ask, and she didn't even raise her head off that defensive drawing I just finished.
"One army will work to attack the defences and the other will take the responsibility of taking charge of the conquered zones," I slowly explained before adding, "as for the weapons and other forces, they can join in after claiming the central zone out there."
"But…" Lily paused, exchanged looks with Isac who just raised her head as if she was about to say the same words, "we don't have the same ability as you to peep into that world."
"Don't worry about that," I smiled mysteriously, "when the time comes, you'll get my signal. Then you can send in all the weapons and warriors into that world," I paused before adding, "the warriors' task is to defend and protect the weapons, not to directly join the fight, got it?"
"So you are going to attack with five armies? Which generals do you need from here then?" Lily asked, but I slowly shook my head. "What did I get wrong?" she frowned and I couldn't help but smile.
"I'll go alone first," I said such a shocking thing before adding, "after one hour, send the five armies out. I don't care who is going to join, but Sara must be amongst them. Then when I give you the signal, you can send the other five to defend what we claimed."
"This…" Lily wasn't the only one to feel shocked and doubtful. Everyone else shared the same weird look over their faces.
These guys… Did they miss me to the point of forgetting how I used to fight?
"Anyway," I waved my arm, "just make sure to be well prepared here while I'm away. Don't let anyone trespass our lands, got it?"
"Are you sure about that?" Despite the fact that they didn't see anything related to the world out there, they got the feeling that things weren't right.
"Don't worry," I told Lily, telling everyone, "I'm not that OP but I'm sure I can hold myself against them."

I turned towards the portal in front of me and added, "how long do you need to prepare?"
"You told us there is an hour," Lily shrugged, "so we have enough time to sort things on our side."
"Cool…" just before I'd tell them to leave the chariot, Sara stepped in front of me and looked serious. "What?" I didn't know what she wanted, or what I did say wrong before. So I asked in doubt.
"Let me come with you."
"You are coming," I didn't know why this girl was acting like this.
"I want to be on the vanguard alongside you."
She was so stubborn. I sighed before throwing it directly at her face, "honestly you are too weak to stand by my side now."
"This…" My answer seemed harsh and unexpected for her. She stuttered and paused, unable to say what she was supposed to say.
"If you came, if any of you came, you'll end up holding me back and won't be able to help," I didn't have anything specific against Sara. I just said what I had in my mind.
The layout of that world was indeed scary. If I allowed anyone to come, he or she would end up dying. Worst case would be for me to step in and protect them, dividing my attention over many spots.
That was going to end up pretty bad. Even if it looked crazy, being alone was much better than going there with five or even ten armies in tow.
I asked everyone to leave the chariot. And as they started walking down, they all looked back at me in a complicated way.
They seemed to have zero trust in my abilities. I went into hiding for years indeed, but that didn't mean they should forget how scary I was.
"It seems I need to remind them all of my scary techniques and way of fighting," I sighed while watching such gazes coming from those close up to me.
I expected them to harbour doubts, but to have zero trust was something that hurt my feelings.
I took a deep breath when the chariot was empty. The first thing I did was to check my soul count.
During all this time, the fight against zombies here and the brutal wars going on in many worlds granted me tons of souls.
I looked at the number and found it was worth tens of billions. That was scary without doubt. After the end of this, what would my final soul number be?
Without any hesitation I used soul points to make out lots of fallen gods. These were indispensable forces that I'd use to crush any enemy standing in front of me.
I spent five billion souls this time to summon one hundred thousand fallen gods. It was an unbelievable number, and such a scary army consumed tons of energy crystals and stat points to be at full power.
I also spent another five billion to summon lots of Bulltors, shield bearers, soulers, and dragons. At last I could say I got enough power to my side to form a scary personal army.
I didn't intend to depend solely on them. I'd better use my technique and control Hescos, turning them into my forces to fight alongside my warriors.
Like this, taking down a few layers out there wouldn't be an issue. And about the dense defences there and the heavy fire my forces would suffer from, I had two solutions for that.
"Playing them by their rules won't do me much," I was lost in thoughts while recalling the grand defensive structure out there.
Unlike the grand fortress that I crushed before, this one seemed a bit worthless. Till taking down the highest layer, my forces would always be facing grave danger.
After controlling it, this grand defensive structure wouldn't be of any help to my forces. It wasn't like the grand fortress filled with walls and defensive traps and towers, this one seemed pretty useless unless the enemy decided to come out from the central lowest point like mine.
Chapter 1211 Going To That World
That wouldn't happen without doubt. And that made such a defensive fortress scary. It'd take tons of force to tear it down, and even if it fell into the enemy's hands, it wouldn't give any help to my forces at all.
The enemy only needed to take down the top layer and that nightmare would start again. That meant after taking this fortress down, it would be pointless to make any use of that place.
"If it's going to be like this, it's better to give that place a makeover then," I evilly smirked while considering all my big guns that I could use.
I was going against the Hescos, and they looked quite scary this time. If my guess was right, then I'd expect at least one paragon waiting for me out there.
If they were too damn serious about it, then I might be facing all the paragons in that world. If so then this fight wasn't going to be this simple.
After my fallen gods consumed the energy and stat crystals, I controlled my chariot to fly towards the pillar of light.
"Here I come," to be honest, I wasn't that worried about fighting the Hescos out there. Even if they brought out everything they got, I still had my confidence in my power.
What really worried me was here, Earth world. I was going to leave my kingdom behind. And for a reason, I felt quite unease about doing so.
But the moment I stepped into that pillar of light and my vision blinded by the light, I knew I had to entrust everything to my generals and capable assistants.
I did everything in my power to build endless armies and raise their fighting level. I also left tons of warriors behind. If nothing huge happened, I was sure they were able to stand their ground and defend my kingdom in my absence.
However, even knowing that, something was still bothering me. I couldn't tell what it was, but I was growing restless until I appeared at the other side of the portal.

A new world appeared in front of me. And out there I saw tons of enemies waiting for my arrival.
They seemed to expect something huge, perhaps grand armies and an endless stream of soldiers. But what they saw was just me coming out on top of my chariot.
"Thundering Might!" Even if I was overwhelmed with worry over my kingdom, I didn't delay and took out my pillar.
Then I used the formidable defensive skill from the start.
A grand ball of light appeared, but weirdly enough it didn't show its scary power and only covered tens of layers of this grand defence.
"They are prepared for my pillar," I knew my pillar didn't malfunction, it was that these Hescos must have done something.
No matter what, my pillar acted normally and the defensive shield appeared covering the sky and part of this fortress.
I knew this was going to be a hard and long battle. The next moment I summoned enough fallen gods to fill up my chariot.
Thousands of my scary fallen gods appeared, and I made my chariot rise up slowly.
From the mere silence that prevailed in this world, I knew they must have recognised me. And from such weird silence, I got how scared and wary they were of me.
"Attack!"
Their daze didn't last more than a few minutes before a loud and thundering shout came from the highest layers and jolted everyone awake.
And the next instant these Hescos who were frozen in fear started to attack.
During these minutes I wasn't just enjoying the rare moments of peace before the war drums would explode. I rose up to the highest of my shield, took an overall view over the entire battlefield.
The Hescos did really spend too much over this place. Seeing the complicated and not easily noticed from the grand vision I got from the feed forts made me realise how hard it would be to crush this place.
The layers weren't just simply formed by flat lands on different altitudes. Each layer had tons of forts that were buried deep underground.
Seeing this made me realise how much work these Hescos must have put to construct such a fort. This shouldn't be a simple coincidence for me coming out here, they planned it perfectly and knew where I'd appear.
They didn't just use a simple way of defensive fortresses to stop me. They selected one that wouldn't expose much of its secrets if I tried to inspect it using my feed.
They even thought about that, which made me feel a little pressure.
Even when I was here, I couldn't see what was behind the huge doors and walls blocking the entrance to these underground forts.
Each layer was almost half a mile in width, and it got lots of defences constructed on top of it. The typical towers, walls, and even trenches filled up the entire place. And that was just what I could see on the surface.
As for the underground forts, I couldn't even tell a head or tail of these. Who knew what was in each fort? Were there tons of forces? Traps? Or places filled with lava?
Frankly I didn't know. I had to first send out my warriors to examine and test these places before deciding anything else.
To see such complicated and dangerous looking defences, I knew the one hour limit I gave to my forces wasn't going to work.
It seemed I greatly underestimated the resolve of the Hescos. The number one race was indeed worthy of their glorious prestige and fame.
I thought about all this and started to consider my next step. I checked my soulers, fallen gods, and other elite warriors I just created before coming here.
"This isn't going to be enough..." I didn't need to test things out to know this. Aside from using these elite warriors, I had to summon other warriors and give them stat crystals to feed upon.
Chapter 1212 A Burtal Fight
I used to strengthen warriors using stat crystals but left all of them back on Earth. I didn't bring any with me, and didn't take this possibility into consideration before.
Regretting wasn't in my nature. And thinking about taking the warriors I left behind back and using them here wasn't going to work either.
The warriors I left weren't just for show. They had a great role in keeping my kingdom safe and sound.
Instead of that, I should take the harder route, take out warriors and give them stat crystals to feen on.
When that thunderous shout came, I was already starting to move.
"Attack freely," I said to my fallen gods, "focus fire over the layers around."
The first step was for me to take over the lowest layers. By doing this, I'd create space and buy my warriors time to consume stat crystals.
The next moment, the entire world flashed in bright and scary waves of light.
The attacks landed over my chariot's firm and sturdy shield. Attacks also came from the outer layers, hitting the shield formed by my pillar.
Just from the earth shattering rumbling explosions I heard, I knew things weren't right. The fierceness of all these explosions was something on the calibre of shredding my pillar's shield.
Without any hesitation, and even before I could see the world amidst the flaring lights of attacks, I repeatedly used my pillar's defensive shield, adding shields in layers one on top of another.

I didn't need for all these attacks to stop to know what was the status of my defensive shield out there. My chariot was already filled to the brim with energy, enough to sustain tons of these attacks.
But my pillar's shields weren't the same. These shields have a limited amount of power. Once consumed, they'd be cracked and crushed.
If that happened, then more attacks would land at my chariot and the warriors I'd summon next. This would be quite dangerous.
My top priority here was to create a safe zone in such a hellish place for my forces to operate from. Failing in this step would hugely impact my plans negatively.
I kept using my defensive skill to support the upper high shield for ten minutes straight. During this, it wasn't just my side getting hammered hard, but the enemy as well.
My fallen gods lived up to their names. Each strike held up an unimaginable amount of damage, destroying massive areas and obliterating these from any living souls.
The ground around the portal was filled to the brim with ground Hescos. I couldn't initially tell how vast this area was until the ground got changed by the heavy fire on my side.
When I spotted it, I could tell the area was at least five miles in radius. It was a good space, but not enough to execute the next step of my plan.
So I waited for ten more minutes. During this, the attacks never ceased for one second. It looked like the entire world was attacking and fighting against me, which was quite scary.
The world all around was filled with blinding flashes of light. However after the second ten minutes passed, the attacks coming at my chariot got lessened, as the enemy lost tons of their forces in these twenty minutes.
I was standing just near the top of my pillar's shield, yet I couldn't tell if the shields were intact or not. I never dared to stop summoning shields even for one second, fearing that the rate of forming shields would barely compensate for their speed of destruction.
After twenty minutes, I knew it was time to start really fighting these dudes. I instantly summoned all the Bulltors and shield bearers I created, leaving behind the dragons for now.
Even if my fallen gods were doing so great, the sky all around was still filled with many Hescos flying like bees. Their speed was great, and their reaction was almost on par with the speed of the incoming attacks.
Seeing this made me realise these flying Hescos weren't anything like the ones my forces fought before. They looked elite, top of the elites actually.
So even with their dense numbers, they swarmed around my chariot like locusts, attacking like headless flies at some point, and retreating and evading the attacks at other times.
Even if few got hit, that didn't matter much. Weirdly when the devastating attacks of my fallen gods landed on these flying Hescos suits, something absorbed most of the shockwave produced by these scary attacks, ending up in limited area damage.
That made the Hescos more daring. I knew these flying Hescos would be painful, but I never expected their strength and suits to be so scary.
Yet it was enough for me to wait. Once I decided to summon my warriors, I dived my chariot and went deep closer to the ground before summoning them.
My top goal wasn't just to summon them in close places to the surrounding first layer. I could simply do this on a whim. My aim was for my chariot to help in defending against the scary incoming attacks from these flying Hescos.
Just as I summoned my warriors, all I needed to do was to just think about the next order and they swiftly executed it.
The fallen gods tried their best to take down these annoying flying Hescos. However their main focus was still over the surrounding layers.
So when my warriors finally appeared, they found it easy to crush over the first layer without much difficulty.
The fight started to heat up over the first layer. Most of the forces out there were either killed or wounded. And that was also the same for the other few higher layers as well.
However the moment my warriors climbed and started the kill, part of the flying Hescos seemed to get orders and they started to head towards the first layer.
At the same time, tons of forces gushed out from the closed doors and high walls that covered the underground forts off my sight.
I knew this would happen, and that was why I kept my flying dragons off from the start.
