Chapter 109 - 1379-1393

Chapter 1379 Go And Get My Gears

I planned to create an outer ring of shields surrounding the deeper zone. For a first, this would create a buffer zone to stop any incoming locusts. I didn't want these mad dogs to find their way here to my scrap gathering army.

And a second, I'd protect my forces against any incoming attack from my shield offensive skill.

As I did this, I returned back to the frontline again and started working over the places I left behind.

The shield offensive attack was strong enough to kill all the locusts there. However when I returned, it was expected to see lots more of them there.

This wouldn't end. And the enemy would keep throwing them like they were nothing in return for stopping me from getting more gears.

So this time I left those locusts to my warriors inside the shields and started to move towards zones I didn't cover before.

I copied what I did before, covered the entire land with bubbles of my shields with warriors without any stat points inside to lure the locusts around.

No matter how much he tried to throw at me here, all the locusts were getting sucked dry by the densely packed bubbles of shields and warriors inside.

I didn't take any stat maxed warriors for hours, kept using the normal and weak warriors to lure the locusts and allow my shields to store up damage.

And after doing this for an entire day, it was time to wipe out all the locusts. They'd give me dark realm bones, which was something not easily found outside of here.

So even if he kept his precious fiends away, I still managed to secure lots of lands and prevented his forces from taking much of the fiends away.

I saw lots of Silences working at the edge of the region I arrived at. That announced the end of my work here, and the start of killing everything.

This was the first time for me to witness lots of Silences in one place like that. Their number was in millions if not more. And they were picking up the dead bodies of the fiends from the outer regions away from my reach.

As they dared to step so close to me, then why would I let them move away? I never tested a Silence before and didn't know what these folks would give me.

Not to mention many of them were carrying dead fiends away, and these were my most treasured loot in the entire war here so far.

As everything was more ready than the first time I did it, this time the offensive attack from my shields came to sweep away lots of land and lasted for half a day.

This meant this attack would reach places far from here, where lots of enemy forces might be present there unguarding for anything coming like this.

Should I go out there and claim their bodies or what? This was the question!

"I should be satisfied with what I gained so far," I muttered to myself, trying to control my endless greed.

I got enough to keep me busy for days. And it was much better to secure the entire zone out using a ring of shields than going out there and claiming the possibly scattered dead bodies of the enemy.

If I was sure about the presence of friends among them, and if I knew where they were, then my decision would be totally different.

However it was better to secure the bird in hand than going to hunt the ten on the tree.

I spent the next three days flying around and creating shields that merged together. After one day, the enemy seemed to not learn their lesson and sent tons of locusts to stop me.

However this wasn't something that could annoy me. I simply let these locusts pass through my incomplete ring of shields, and didn't even activate the offensive skill until I got done from laying down this ring.

And when I finished, I got to know how huge the silver ground ability was! It spanned even further than what I could cover up using the ultimate speed of my chariot for a three day flight!

After I got done, the thought of going out there and seeing if there were dead bodies around to claim didn't even cross my mind.

It was a lost case to do so. Three days was enough time to make the enemy retrieve anything of value he might have left behind.

And so I simply activated the offensive attack of my shields and watched the entire world shine brightly before the deadly wave swept the hordes of locusts and killed them.

The locusts were gathered outside the ring once done, and I scattered my forces around to keep all of them near my ring.

As the attack ended, I took out more warriors and asked them to freely gather all the gears from the fiends in the entire zone.

Then I used my staff and jumped back where I left tons of fiends for Lucas and my warriors and soulers to kill.

"Lord… You have returned…" When I arrived back, all I saw was just a silent land that was filled with dead bodies and standing warriors and soulers of mine.

There was no trace of any fiend found anywhere at all! And from the tone of Lucas, I got that this battle ended a long time ago.

But that wasn't all! Just during the time I took to take down the locusts and secure my loot, the silver ground from far back already reached here.

It seemed I flew at a lower level as the silver ground was hundreds of metres higher than my head. I looked up at the silver ground while eleven chariots appeared and headed towards me once I arrived.

"Good job," I said in encouragement, "go and gather up all the gears from them."

As they started to do their task, I waited for my generals to arrive.

Chapter 1380 A Meeting With Generals

"You always take all the fun for yourself," the moment they arrived, Sara said in complaint.

"He always loves to play solo," the jumper said and it seemed he wanted to add more of his mean words but failed to do so.

After all this dude seemed to slightly change after what recently happened and what he did.

"If you want, there are lots of locusts at the edge of my shields out there," I pointed towards it before adding, "if you want, you can go and stretch out your muscles there."

"Tsk! These locusts are just like our zombies," Sara said, "give me warriors and I'll kill all of them!"

"You can go and take the lead of the warriors out there," I paused before adding, "but many of them have their tasks to do. So just use those inside the bubbles, got it?"

"Sure," she said and started to move away. And when I thought none would follow, most of the chariot flew fast towards that direction.

Except for Isac, Legend, and jumper, all of the rest went towards the distance. It seemed they didn't like their past role in this quest so far. And they wanted to make more contributions here.

Generals might seem calm and steady, but they had no less fighting spirit than their soldiers.

As for these three who waited behind, I knew the motives and reasons behind their actions.

Isac wasn't a fighting maniac general. She just wanted to lead others and build defensive structures and layouts for my forces.

Legend was a rational kid, a good kid indeed. His mind wasn't as impulsive or hot like Sara and others. He knew such a battle was already over the moment I stood in such carefree way among them.

So going there wouldn't do any change to the entire battle. Instead it would exhaust his energy and so he decided to remain behind.

As for the jumper, I felt he wanted to speak with me about something. And so that fiery tempered dude wasn't going to take part in such a battle for now.

"Do you need me to build anything for you?" As expected, the first to speak up was Isac, and she asked the same thing I guessed.

"Take Legend with you," I casually said, pointing towards the direction of the edge of this silver land, "inspect the ground down there. We are a good distance away from the ground, enough to allow you to see everything."

"Can we see the ground clearly?" It was Legend who was surprised by this. And from his tone and facial expression, I could tell they didn't get anything from inspecting the ground before.

And I nodded. "Start planning how to build a good base down there. We'll take down that zone in the world here. Take note of all the defences of the enemy and don't miss their arrangement of forces," I said the last words to Legend.

In the absence of Lily, Legend was a very great substitute for her role as the grand general of my forces.

"The enemy down below already filled the entire world with his forces," I said in brief what I noticed before, "the fiends will be left for me to handle. As for the rest of their forces and defences, it's up to you to handle them…"

I paused for a long minute before seriously adding, "we got two weeks only here. Make sure to plan ahead for a swift victory, fast building process, enough to build a fortress that can stand alone in front of any incoming enemy of the three races."

"Are we going to leave here?" The jumper asked, and I swore I saw the eyes of that dude shine when he said that.

"That's already decided," I got what he had in mind, but didn't he want to make sure his angel wasn't in this world in the first place before deciding to go anywhere else?

Don't tell me… That god gave him knowledge about the place of that proclaimed angel and so he wanted to leave here?

I gave that jumper a questionable gaze that was filled with tons of doubts and lots of questions. But as he wore a mask, I couldn't see anything through him at all.

"But we are going to leave a general to lead here, right?" Isac asked the obvious. And I nodded without a speck of hesitation.

"I'll leave the choice of the general for the generals to select," I paused before adding, "but it'll be great if we assigned someone daring like Sara or something to do it."

"Then let's leave him behind," Legend said, pointing towards the jumper.

"Mind your own business, kid! I will leave here," the jumper spoke in hostility that Legend didn't deserve.

I knew how this kid's mind worked. He thought logically about this and of course the jumper would come on top of such a list of candidates.

But he didn't get that the jumper already sat his gaze over another world. And from such an intense reaction from the jumper, I could tell that this dude already knew where the entrapped angel was.

"We'll decide later," I gave the jumper a warning gaze. If the upcoming talk with him didn't satisfy me, then he'd be pinned here till the end of this entire quest thing.

"Ok," Legend gave the jumper a weird look before adding, "I'll work with big bro Isac and see what we can do."

"Good luck," I paused before adding, "you got one day, two at most. Make the best use of time."

"We'll get done much earlier than that," Isac raised a fist in the air before adding as the two started to walk back to their chariots, "I'll inform you once we are done."

"Good," I nodded while watching them leave, then turned my eyes towards the jumper.

And the first thing this dude said made me inwardly sigh.

"You mentioned before that there was something I didn't know about my god… Tell me about these things then."

Chapter 1381 A Talk About His God

"Will you believe the things I'm going to say?" I didn't hurry to tell him anything before understanding what was going on inside that dude's mind.

If not for his mask, I'd get a clue about his real intentions at least.

"I don't trust anyone but myself, you can take that for granted," he paused before adding in slight hesitation, "and that dude kept just sending me vague intel and threw me at dangerous situations more than what you think."

"So you already suspect him?" I asked, and he kept his lips tightly shut. "Fine! Here is what I know about you dude…"

As he already had his own suspicions about that god, it wasn't a loss to tell him what this bastard tried to do against me.

I didn't hide anything, told him even about what my god told me about his god. How his god played a role in the fall of the war shrine before, and how he was just a sick minded bastard who found pleasure in torturing his followers.

When I got done with everything I had, the jumper didn't say anything for a few minutes. And I respected his silence and remained as such.

"Give me time to handle all this," he said just so, turned around, jumped back to his chariot, before returning back to the higher silver ground.

It seemed this dude intended to go through a tough discussion with his god. "Hey, you have to tell me what he told you about the location of your man!" as the moves of that jumper were fast and decisive, he didn't give me time to stop him so I shouted at his back.

"He just said he isn't in this world," the jumper gave me such useless news, "and he will inform me if the world I'm in has him or not. That was what he said before."

The jumper went fast and vanished from my sight after saying these words. And as he was gone, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

It was better to leave him alone for now. As for what he'd decide to do, I'd just have to wait.

As for that damn god, he was indeed hard to deal with! He didn't even say anything of value, and just kept toying with the jumper.

What was the guarantee that he wasn't lying? Just making the jumper move around the ten worlds of the enemy?

It was clear that the jumper would trust his words with time. If that god pointed at a world and said: Hey, your man is there! Then the jumper would simply throw himself into fire and walk through storms to get to the assumed place of his man.

Doing so would end up the jumper losing his life. And even if he got lucky, the god might find a way out from this lie if the jumper didn't find his man captured there.

Such a sick god with such a twisted personality wouldn't let his toy get freed and meet up with his man. Instead, he'd keep throwing him baits and watch him suffer for nothing.

As for the excuse for not finding his man, the god would simply trick the jumper and tell him the enemy moved him away when he invaded that zone.

Any bullshit would be fine as long as it made logic and was hung on the actions of others and not the god himself.

But right now all this would change. What I told the jumper was enough to break such a vicious circle, and end up giving the jumper a chance to break free from such a poisonous god.

I put everything aside for now and returned to focus on the task on hand. My warriors were gathering up gears, and it was time for me to do my task as well.

There were an endless number of bones waiting for me to claim either here or outside. And just doing all this took me around five days.

During which, Isac and Legend came back. As I expected, they took almost one day to finish their planning, not the small time the two thought.

And that was for a reason… The enemy had an endless army down there, and they weren't just one race. Three different races was enough headache, not to mention the forts and defences that were supporting these forces.

One race acted as the main leaders and strike force, which was the fiends. Another was the one responsible for doing all labour, acting as fodders, vanguards, and even the main bulk of the army and these were the locusts.

As for the Silences, I suspected their role was to control the tide of the battle, giving support to any distressful points, and even affecting the course of the entire war by their unique abilities.

I considered them the special forces of the enemy. Putting all this in mind side by side with the dense fortifications down there, then the entire world down there would be least described as hell for any invading forces.

And so they took their time to come up with a foolproof plan, one that'd ensure my forces' win and my enemies' defeat.

"What did you reach?" I said when the two jumped over my chariot, "tell me everything you got."

"We have this plan…" Isac took out a big piece of paper and started to show me the details of their plan.

"This isn't bad," I said while focusing on the paper I got, "this plan can work. But we need more warriors to leave behind…"

"That's not an issue," Legend said while he took another paper out, "this is the grand design of the entire region after the battle is over."

I received the paper from him and examined its content. In general, Isac replicated what she did before at my capital's outer zones, turning the entire area down below into a densely packed zone of forts and walls.

As for the offensive plan, the two decided to divide the army into five, each was led by two generals.

Chapter 1382 It's Sara, Y'know?

Four armies would work in four different directions while the fifth would act as support, moving to aid any place needing reinforcements.

There were two free armies, one led by Sara and the other was led by me.

I felt like Legend was behind the idea of placing Sara on top of a single army on her own. And that army was like an independent, all offensive, all crazy about fighting army.

I could already imagine what it would be like when Sara started her work. I'd only see the dust behind her army, and try my best to keep her safe.

If she was going to fight the locusts or Silences alone, then it wouldn't have been this bad.

However the fiends were already flocking the entire world, and it wasn't guaranteed for them to not interfere to stop her.

"We are going to ask you to use the bubble tactic," and all of sudden, Isac said such weird words.

"What bubble tactic?" I asked in confusion, while my mind was still attracted to the difficulties Sara was going to face.

"That thing you used by summoning shields and warriors inside," she said and I got her meaning at once.

"You want to nullify the locusts early on? Good move," I nodded before warning them, "but these locusts don't follow any logic. So they might be focused on the bubbles, but they also can move at any forces near them."

"At least we can remove a good part of them," Legend said, and I felt like this dude was behind such bubble tactic names and suggestions.

"I agree," I nodded before adding, "but sending Sara out… Are you sure? It's Sara, y'know…"

I couldn't find the right words to describe what I had in mind at this moment. However I was sure the two in front of me got what I meant perfectly fine.

"Don't worry, she is more than capable of handling such a situation," Isac said as if she grew up with Sara or something.

"Ok," I knew the toll of keeping her safe and extracting her from any bad situation lay on my shoulders, "what about me then?"

I got to lead the second independent army in their entire plan. And if they expected me to do anything besides taking care of the fiends, then they were quite delusional.

"Just take care of the fiends," Legend said, "if these fiends acted freely, then it'll be quite bad for all of us."

"I see…" I knew it might seem a hard task, but I already was preparing myself to shoulder it all, "but don't expect any help from me during such a battle. Dealing with the fiends will take most of my power. Besides, using the offensive attacks of my shields will also endanger the forces outside the shields."

"We know," Legend said, "you can use it after giving us a hint, ok?"

"Sure," if that was easy to do in the middle of a hot and wide expanding battle like the one we were going to have, then it'd be great.

But I knew doing such a thing was quite hard and nearly impossible. Even I wouldn't be sure to use such a method and take away all my soulers and warriors back inside the shields in time.

"Don't expect too much out of this," I said in warning, "anyway, let's wait until we see what lies down there for us first."

"When can we move then?" Legend seemed quite impatient. I couldn't tell if he grew up like a war addict like Sara or if he just wanted to see if his plan would work or not.

"We can move after clearing all the area here," I wouldn't take a single step forward before arming up all my soulers and reapers with the gears from these fiends here.

Without the addition of all these gears here, trying to take down a big zone down there and have the ability to secure it would be greatly reduced.

"Fine," Legend seemed to be struggling, "but we need to have our armies before that. We need to arrange them, select the leaders, put out plans,..." he started to narrate tons of things related to how he meticulously plans for things in big battles.

"I know," I interrupted him, "I'll get many warriors out for you to lead. How about this, each general will have ten million each?"

"Full state warriors? Not enough," Legend shook his head and started to bargain with me.

"Fine! I'll give each twenty-five million warriors, hopefully that'll be enough," I didn't like making a fuss about such a thing, "I'll take warriors up there, leave enough stat crystals for them."

"Thanks lord," he smiled and I felt like this dude was learning to act scheming and evil from someone. Was it the jumper? He was a good candidate indeed.

As I decided to do that, I stopped my current moves and moved back to the top ground.

And then I started to take out warriors in large batches, without even caring about their count.

I kept doing this for an entire day, and during which the other generals seemed to get the news from these two and showed up. Even that jumper made his presence in the last few hours before I got done.

"Arrange things here yourselves," I was eager to return to collect my precious bones and so I just left after taking out tons of stat crystals.

And then I spent three more days absorbing bones.

When I got done, I knew another task was still waiting for me, one that would bring me tons of happiness.

Seeing all the mountains of gears waiting for me made me smile.

My boys collected these gears randomly and they weren't arranged in sets. But I knew this was going to change with the magical effect of my system.

I simply went towards all the mountains inside the huge number of my shields, and started to collect them fast.

Chapter 1383 Arming Up A Scary Army With Gears

Inside my inventory, the different pieces got arranged in a mere second, as each piece was added to their corresponding parts, forming entire sets in a flash.

A hundred sets, a thousand sets, a million sets… I kept gathering all the sets while moving from one shield to another.

When I finished, I was astonished to see the end result.

"Fifty million entire sets? And are there almost the same incomplete sets? Damn!" I just randomly added the numbers, and I was sure I missed a few millions in the middle of calculating such a gain.

With this, with these gears… Who could stop me? Hahahaha!

"Lord… What will we do now?" as I finished doing my task in less than half a day, while using my staff to jump in between places, Lucas came to ask me.

"Stand here, I'm going to take out all the soulers and reapers I have," I said amidst my laughs, "and then you can arm everyone with sets of gears like the ones you have."

"Really?!!" Even he was shocked by such news. I never thought the number of fiends killed would exceed one hundred million in this battle.

Yet when I thought about the repeated killing of fiends outside my shields before, and adding this to the crazy actions of their leader at the end of the battle, everything was quite possible.

And the trap I laid before helped as well.

I took out the remaining of soulers and reapers from my inventory, then took out the gear sets in batches, each had the same kind of gear.

I still didn't get time to properly inspect these gears. As the gears were different, it meant that their effects were different as well.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

Doing this took me roughly one day, and when I was over with the completed sets, there were still a few million soulers who didn't get any yet.

So I took out the incomplete sets which had flying wings. My main goal from doing all this was to give the soulers wings after all.

After satisfying the needs of my soulers, it came down to which kind of warriors I should arm up next.

I thought about such a thing previously, and reached many ideas in the end.

One of them was to use my growing soul points to make a melee race and give them wings and formidable abilities using the gears.

But the complete gear sets were gone. And I didn't have enough incomplete sets with wings.

So it didn't matter which race I'd use right now. And that didn't discourage me. After all, we were going to have a grander battle soon enough.

The generals kept sending me messages, especially Isac and Sara. The two wanted to start the operation fast. One wanted to have more time to build what she wanted, and the other just sought out to fight.

I looked inside my inventory and randomly took out lots of my warriors to satisfy the number of my gears.

Even if these warriors came with full stats, they weren't on par with Hectors, Bulltors, or Dragons I planned before to summon.

Yet they were enough for the incomplete sets of gears that I had. Even if the gears didn't give most of them the ability to fly, they'd be quite unstoppable against the locusts and Silences.

I took roughly half a day before I took out all the sets in my inventory. Even if I ended up with nothing left for me there, all the gears were used by my warriors.

"I'll give you one more day, then I'll call you back," I said to all using my horn before controlling my chariot and flew high towards the upper silver ground.

It was time to start building up silver ground paths, linking the two grounds with the main land down below.

I knew the scene of making these paths and letting them get down would be noticed by all the enemies from hundreds of miles away. And so I'd expect tons of these enemies waiting for me down there even long before our arrival.

Trying to do it fast wouldn't do. First the distance was already too great to make such a sloped path down below. And that would endanger my forces coming down from such a high distance.

So it was better to make a circular path, with a direction towards the ground that wasn't that sharp to disturb the movement of my forces to the ground.

In addition to that, the number of my forces was already too much. I could call back everyone and then resummon them again at the ground. However that would waste lots of time, not to mention the generals would need more time to rearrange their troops again.

For a moment there I regretted not giving my generals the tokens of these warriors to deal with them before. Yet there was no time to regret such a thing now.

As I moved out my chariot, it seemed these quite eager generals were keeping a close eye on me. I noticed their chariots moving out and coming to welcome me midway.

"Is it time?"

"Are we going to do it now?"

"Shall I prepare everything?"

I listened to their eager questions even before they'd arrived. And I simply nodded.

"Make sure you align your forces in small teams," I said in my last instructions, "be aware that this move won't be any surprising, and the enemy will notice us coming the moment we start to move. So be ready for a brutal battle and don't expect anything easy or smooth down there, got it?"

"Yes, lord!"

"Everyone knows what to do, and I want to add one more piece of news… Down there, I won't be able to freely help any of you… Even if you meet up with friends, I won't be able to help in time. So prepare yourselves with that, and…"

I was still moving out and when I paused, I already reached the silver ground. I waved my hand and the next thing happened was for tons of soulers to appear.

Chapter 1384 Coiling Dragons Falling From Heavens

"I'll give each general one million of my precious soulers," I took out eleven million in one go, and said my words using the horn to make sure everyone down there listened as well, "make sure to not use them rashly. These soulers are enough to contain fiends and kill them. So don't waste their effort in dealing with weak and useless forces, right?"

"Yes, lord!'' They all shouted in unison, while I started to distribute such orders like listening to the words of the generals and killing any friends they saw to my soulers.

Then I left them to the generals to select and guide the one million each to their respective armies.

"What are you going to do now?" as everyone moved away, only Isac remained behind, "how do you plan to let us move down there?"

"The same trick," I shrugged, summoned my legion of twenty hundred thousand Avengers V. I knew I already arranged them before into teams, but right now I needed the help I could get from all.

"Listen up," I held my horn and started to issue them orders, "I have eleven armies that I want to move down to the ground. You have to create a circular path, wide enough to sustain the passage of an entire army on it. I need eleven of such paths, and they will move from this ground to the bottom…"

I started to explain further about the shape of these paths I had in mind. In general, they were like a coiling dragon descending from the heavens. And hopefully the enemy would die out of fear from seeing such eleven grand coiling dragons coming towards them.

"Go, spread yourselves into teams, and start making what I asked for…"

I just said the order, and when I thought they'd take a long time to get things prepared, they instantly moved in eleven directions and started to work.

The first wave of their abilities formed eleven wide silver lights that seemed to merge together.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

Seeing this made me frown, and I instantly stopped them.

"Go first and scatter around," I ordered, "don't stick to one place, got it?"

If they kept doing this, then there wouldn't be eleven paths, but one grand one.

It might do the same purpose, but it'd be easier for the enemy to defend against.

After all, trying to defend against eleven points of intrusion was much harder than just defending against a single point.

And so they cancelled their initial ability, started to move around and it took almost ten hours for all of them to reach a different point from each other.

During this, I made sure the generals would each select one group of my Avengers V and lead their armies after them.

And then the Avengers started to form the paths in the same shape I had in my mind.

Each path was wide enough to span for a few miles in width, and it moved in a circular path towards the ground, coiling while moving downwards in a very shallow slope.

It was safe for my forces to walk down such paths, and it proved that way from the early batches that started to flood the already started to take form paths.

One thing I was inwardly worried about, which was the need for my Avengers V to go down there till the ground to make these paths. However such a worry was groundless as my Avengers just kept themselves over the silver ground high above, and controlled the entire magic from there.

Once the path coiled for more than ten rounds, a thing that happened in less than a minute, my forces from each army started to go down.

[Make sure to time your arrival] I noticed that by the many hours differences between each Avengers' group work, the eleven armies wouldn't arrive at the same time down there.

So I had to stress over this point. Even if the path was done, the general shouldn't take down his forces before others would arrive.

And with that, the beginning of our grand march towards the real ground started. I didn't realise how majestic or intimidating this looked until half of the distance was crossed.

I led my chariot to fly away from the ongoing progress of building these paths. And from my position, all I could see was grand pillars falling down from the sky.

They gave me the impression that the sky was falling. And that feeling wasn't anything like what I initially imagined, for dragons to be falling down from the sky.

It was as if the entire sky itself was falling apart and down! And that was on a totally different level of terror and intimidation.

And when noticing the thick forces marching over each path, it added another layer of terror on the entire scene.

Yet doing such a move took a long time to get done. After two days, we finally got closer to the ground.

During this time, I kept a close eye over the ground and noticed what I expected before. The enemy started to gather up arms and forces, calling for all the forces in the entire region and beyond to come here and help in the upcoming battle of defence.

They had time to call forces from tens of miles away, but they didn't have enough time to modify any existing defences.

So they had to make use of what they got here, and that might be the only good news here.

By any means, the initial clashes between my forces and them would be quite brutal and bloody. I doubted that even with the help of my forces coming from high ground, the initial classes would end in our victory from the start.

The enemy called their entire forces here, including the fiends. I sat my attention over these enemies, as I knew they were the most formidable and hard to counter ones down there.

The plan of Isac and Legend stated that I'd take the role of dealing with all the fiends in the entire zone. However the enemy didn't group them in a big single army. Instead they scattered them among their ranks and defending forces.

Chapter 1385 The Big War Starts

That meant they were going to use fiends as the leaders of the defending forces in every zone. And that also meant I had to scatter out my soulers, visit lots of places to crush these fiends.

"Why would I do that?" After thinking about this for enough time, I found how silly such a tactic was. If the enemy had time to recall reinforcements here, then I also had enough time to think deeply about the tactics I should use down there.

Thinking that I needed to roam the entire area, hunting down fiends in the middle of all this mess was a logical thing to think about, but it didn't mean it was the only path I got here.

After all, the eleven paths would land at eleven points that weren't that much further away from each other. And that meant I could simply work hard to secure the initial landing spot of my forces and kill all the fiends there.

Starting from this point, I'd move my soulers and start to crush the outer and far away fiends. Like this, I'd have to first interrupt the enemy layout down there and kill all the leaders first.

Then it'd come to the enemy to either reinforce their frontline with fiends again or to just keep them safe behind.

If they sent more, then more I'd kill. If they kept them behind, then I'd simply start to use my shield zones out there to disturb the enemy lines, before hunting down the fiends.

I wasn't that worried about letting my forces deal with fiends among the enemy forces while I was dealing with this. After all, I left enough soulers with each army, enough to secure their lives and keep the battle stabilised.

Isac and Legend asked me to use the bubble tactic to relieve the pressure over them from the start. However I didn't intend to start using my shields from the beginning.

It might help if the enemy attacked the shields hard enough. But for a reason, I felt like the enemy would be quite cautious in doing so.

30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom

After all, I made the enemy taste bitter losses before thanks to my shields. And that enemy wasn't the type of rash and idiotic one. So it was safe to assume that they learnt from their lessons and wouldn't easily trigger the brutal attack of my shields.

Even if the locusts went all out, I couldn't be sure that the enemy had some way to control the locusts.

So it'd be safer to use the shields just in the middle of the chaos erupting in the middle of the battle. And that would require me to be quite attentive to the movements on all sides, yet it wasn't that hard to do so using my flying chariot.

As I thought about this, I already got a good plan to start working with.

I waited for half more days before the entire eleven paths reached the ground. I already relayed my orders to everyone of my generals, letting them know what was going to happen down there and how this battle would be handled.

Legend and Isac didn't have anything to object to my plans. And as the paths all reached the ground, it was show time!

The moment I gave the order for the battle to start, things started to grow hectic from the first early minutes.

My forces were gathered half a mile away from the ground, almost two entire circles away from reaching the bottom.

And when I gave the order for them to move out, the enemy also matched my orders and sent his locusts first.

These hard to control races moved dauntlessly over my eleven paths, racing against time to reach fast to my incoming forces.

The early clashes of this battle erupted at the paths themselves. And just from the early fights, lots of forces on both sides went down the paths and fell over thanks to the mighty clashes between the two sides.

However it was apparent who got the upper hand here. The ones coming from higher grounds always had the upper hand anytime, anywhere.

Not to mention the ones fighting my forces were the locusts. They might be scary in long term battles, but not in such one here.

Even if they managed to wound and leave behind tons of their eggs inside the bodies of my forces, it was easy for me to kill them and get another.

Other forces might find it hard to deal with such an enemy, but for me it was a breeze.

As the enemy got crushed, my forces started to gain a stable hold on the paths, and then they reached down to the ground.

The moment the early forces arrived, the enemy sent everything they got to kill them. Even the fiends got part in such a battle, and it was expected for my forces to fall quite fast.

But as more arrived, the enemy failed to stop the incoming forces from landing on the ground. And what made the difference here was my unstoppable soulers.

It was the first time for the enemy to face my soulers. And that made them unable to stop any of them.

My soulers were just mass killers in such battles. They kept flashing between the enemies around, leaving behind a growing number of dead bodies.

No matter who was their foe, be it Silences, locusts, or even fiends... All fell to the ground without any exception.

I thought the fiends would prove a challenge for them, needing them to flash more than once to kill a single one of them. However it seemed I overestimated the abilities of my enemies to a great extent.

The fiends who saw all this got instantly terrified and started to fly, aiming to safeguard themselves against such brutal force of soulers.

However what they did wasn't going to help. The moment my soulers arrived at their places, and out of what they initially expected, the soulers flew in the air with their wings!

Chapter 1386 A Sneaky Move!

The soulers flashed and killed the ones in the air just like they did on the ground. Things seemed quite easy for my forces wherever a bunch of my deadly soulers existed.

However I didn't hurry to take out more of them. I knew the enemy would be taken aback and by surprise by my soulers. However they would also have a counter for such unexpected foes.

And I planned to wait first and see what the enemy could do before deciding what to do next.

As the battle kept going on, my forces started to gain ground and secure a safe foothold around the eleven paths.

That was the first and foremost important part in the entire plan. Without securing enough space for each army to take as a base to launch further attacks, then things would be quite ugly for my forces even with the soulers.

The biggest help the soulers did here was to relieve me from doing anything for the early hours. They were brutal and deadly enough to take down all the fiends off the entire fighting spots here.

That gave me lots of time to watch and consider each single move from the enemy.

Things looked quite good so far. The enemy tried with all their might to stop my forces, and yet they failed. The soulers helped in relieving any stressful situations no matter how bad it was.

This kept going on until the eleven armies were this close from meeting each other. And by then, the next phase of the plan would start.

*Rumble!*

However just before the armies would meet up, the enemy used a fierce attack, the one I waited for.

30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom

It looked like a grand ball of light erupted, before I noticed in an instant what it was.

"Dammit! That dude is going to use his big moves from the start!"

The thing that was coming was nothing else but that damn fire. Just recalling how this fire dealt with my forces and brought lots of trouble before made me instantly act as a reflex.

I started using my shields, and at the same time I created them at the centre and left them face off the huge forces around.

It was lucky that my forces didn't expand too much, or else I wouldn't be able to cover up all of them with just one shield.

The shields spanned for miles, covered up my entire forces and lots of the enemies' as well. I planned to wait for enough time before the span of this battle would expand and reach out for tens of miles.

By then, the use of my shields would be much more effective than using them right now. However, I got cornered and pushed to use them thanks to the impending death coming for my forces.

However it seemed that I underestimated the enemy's plan!

The fire met up with my shields and the two didn't back off against each other. The fire covered up an area of tens of miles in radius, but it couldn't do anything against my shields.

When that happened, I felt really relieved. It was great to know that this fire didn't do anything to my forces.

Yet the next moment my face instantly changed!

The fire could cover up a huge area, much more than what my shields could. And even if the shields managed to stop this fire, it was still unable to stop its advance to cover more areas.

And part of this lay in the eleven paths where many of my forces were still marching down below.

Taking down a few of my forces wouldn't affect me at all. However this fire could cover a distance of tens of miles, and that meant all the warriors in the eleven paths inside that zone would be burnt to death.

And I would never stand idle and watch such a huge loss happen!

So I spurred into action without any delay or hesitation.

The first move I used was the offensive strike of my shields. Even if the shields didn't have enough time to stack up strong damage, it was enough to create a shockwave and push that fire away.

At the same time, it was enough to kill lots of enemies in a radius of a few miles around the shields.

Just as the bright light came, I didn't wait for things to calm down or clear up, and instantly moved towards the directions of the eleven paths which I saved in my mind before using that skill.

And there I started to randomly summon shields, and shouted using my horn: "Get inside the shields! Get inside to protect your lives!"

There was another way to solve this, and that by summoning all of the warriors back. However, to do so, I'd have to summon all the warriors in the entire battlefield, and that had a very negative effect on my armies as well.

Generals would need lots of time to arrange the armies again. And during this, the enemy would organise their lines and ranks, be more prepared for my brutal attacking armies.

I preferred to take such a risk of losing many of my warriors here than to disturb the entire rhythm of this battle. If I didn't have the upper hand, then it'd be better for me to just throw in the towel and summon everyone back.

I left behind a few shields to cover up parts of the paths, almost ten shields at each path, before the light finally faded away.

It didn't last longer than two minutes, and thanks to my good memory and the high speed of my chariot, I managed to cover up all the paths and leave the shields behind.

The moment the light vanished, the shockwave the blast created was gone. The fire appeared to be pushed for a mile away from the paths and my warriors. But the moment the shockwave vanished, the fire fell like doomsday.

During this, my warriors moved to execute my orders. Lot of them fell off the paths as they lacked any guidance or vision during the past two minutes, at least they knew where to exactly move.

Chapter 1387 Testing Out My Forces

But as that blinding light vanished, they saw the shields and so started to run fast towards them.

And I didn't stand idle either. Just in the twenty seconds the fire needed to return back to attack the paths, I managed to spread over three more shields over two paths.

The fire came hot and fierce, slammed heavily against my chariot's shield but couldn't do much damage to it.

"Again!" I didn't even wait for more than half a minute before reactivating the offensive skill again. And this time the effect it got was much weaker than the first.

And that was quite expected! I didn't give my shields anytime to stack up damage. Not to mention all the hostile forces around were killed or thrown far away.

It looked like I was using grenades to push wild ocean waves away so they'd not submerge me or my forces. Each time I used a shockwave, the fire would be pushed for a little distance for a short time, before the shockwave would vanish and the fire would return again.

This kept happening for almost ten stressful minutes. During which, lots of my warriors fell to the ground, and only those who were close to my shields, or I saved time by adding more shields, or those around my soulers who used their defensive shields, managed to survive.

My offensive shields' strikes seemed like they were getting dried up at the end of the ten minutes, only lasting for a brief few seconds before vanishing.

But as the warriors were either saved, killed, or retreated away from the reach of the fire, things returned to roll in my favour once more.

"Thanks for giving me such a heads up warning," I didn't mourn or feel any bitterness at the losses of all these forces on my side. After all, casualties were expected in battles, in such a hectic battle, in any battle.

But the end result of this wasn't that bad actually. The enemy lost much more than I did. Even if I lost hundreds of thousands of warriors, the enemy lost a good card he could use at a crucial moment to surprise me.

And as I got to know about such a tactic by the enemy, and such weakness in my plans, I started to solve everything down from the root of the problem.

Wasn't my path vulnerable? Fine! I'd start coating them up with my shields and cover every single speck of it.

And luckily for me, the forces down below didn't need my presence or anything. Before doing such a long task, I left a message for Isac and other generals.

I warned them from my absence for at least one day, and stressed over not sending Sara out for now.

As for the entire plan, I let them execute it as we agreed before.

Of course Sara complained, complained a lot, but I didn't give any heed to any of her angry messages.

She was going to face a deadly situation if I let her go all alone deep into the enemy lines.

It might look as a slight hiccup in our entire plan, but it was inevitable for any plan to show such flaws.

I started by coating the closest parts of the eleven paths first before moving out and taking one path each time. I kept moving up towards the silver ground up there, coated even parts there surrounding each path entrance, and then headed down through a new path.

It took me less than I expected. In half a day, I managed to coat all the paths with shields to make the paths look like they were moving inside a huge bubble that stretched to the sky.

When I returned back, I found that the ground battle expanded to cover way beyond the reach of my shields I left behind.

The armies already met together and each two armies worked as a single unit. Five thick snakes stretched out from my shields and started to spread death and chaos among the enemy lines.

The plan of the enemy to disturb my forces' line up failed quite miserably. They even didn't manage to buy themselves more than one hour before my forces killed all the enemies inside the shields and went outside.

The enemy might have bought himself an hour of time to rest and rearrange their lines. But at the same time, my side also managed to make the best use of such time.

The armies met up and arranged themselves and started to work per plan. Only Sara was left behind and that made her more enraged the more she watched the ongoing battles everywhere.

The enemy tried to use different tactics to stop my forces during my absence. I learnt about that from the constant messages Isac kept sending to keep me informed about the current situation of the battle.

They tried to use the human wave tactic, sending lots of locusts aided by the Silence race to suppress my forces.

They managed to create little chaos at first, stopping my advancing forces until the generals spotted where the problem lay; the Silences.

So instead of just throwing the warriors without proper planning, they started to make use of the star arrays. They used my bones and released deadly attacks to counter the Silences and even many of the enemy forces near and far.

Many deadly explosions rang, and the death toll of the enemy became terrifying. At the same time, the side of my forces didn't lose that much, as they retreated away from the effective range of each array.

That might have delayed my efforts quite a bit, but the end result was quite satisfying. The enemy's plans failed again. And then they started to use a different method.

They thought that my side didn't have enough soulers, and so they started to send entire teams out of friends at the frontline.

They made the fiends cover up my forces, and that helped a lot in making their side advance for a good distance before my soulers appeared.

Chapter 1388 Let Me Loose!

After all, I gave each general one million of them. And it'd be insane to believe such a method would truly work!

The normal warriors were weak and vulnerable against these fiends, but that wasn't the case for my soulers.

The soulers chased and killed all the fiends the enemy sent. Even when the enemy sent more reinforcements, they couldn't do anything at all.

How could they stand against an enemy that just needed to pass through one's body and kill him?

It was quite brutal to be honest. And at such moments, I felt quite relieved that soulers were on my side, not against it.

The moment my soulers acted, things started to grow out of control for the enemy.

No matter how hard they tried, the enemy failed to contain the unstoppable charge of my side. And at the same time, the enemy lost too much from such an attack.

In the end, the enemy was forced to use another high end attack of his, the clouds!

They managed to stop my soulers, but that also meant isolating all of their forces inside without much help.

The enemy had to keep sending out forces through the clouds to make sure their side wouldn't lose too much. Yet that ended up in losing more, and in the end they succumbed to their fate and stopped sending anyone.

I came in the time when my forces just cleared most of these clouds. There were still remaining parts there, but most got cleared thanks to the use of one thing; the star arrays' fifth level strike.

30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom

When I came back, only a few of the clouds remained behind. At the same time, many brutal fights erupted.

As the generals heeded my advice, they recalled back all the soulers from the frontline, kept them just as a deterrent force for any future plans of the enemy to send such a great number of fiends again.

The areas each army covered was exceeding thirty miles by now, and it was growing unceasingly. That was without calculating the ten miles zone that got under the protection of my shields in the centre.

[We need your bubbles] As I approached from far, Isac sent this message over, [We need to disturb the enemy and protect our boys. The enemy used that cloud thing, but didn't use the fire again]

[He needs time and energy to charge up such crazy attacks] I was the most experienced one here to deal with such a situation.

[Don't forget he might not be alone]

[I know] I was sure more of such scary figures would pop up the more the enemy started to lose here.

Just a single leader had two fearsome abilities, one for defence and one for offence. Going by logic, all the remaining leaders would have the same general abilities as this one.

And the enemy just used his fire attack one day ago, enough for him to recharge his brutal attack once more.

Yet this time he wouldn't be able to cover the entire battlefield with such fire. I thought and decided to scatter my shields around each army, to act as safe zones and not as what Isac and Legend previously planned and intended.

I planned to leave behind five huge shields covering up the entire track of each army. Each bubble would be enough to shield ten million warriors inside, and would take at least an hour or even more to complete a single one of them.

Such a plan might be risky as the enemy was about to use his fire attack. However I knew the enemy would think thrice before using any of his formidable attacks again.

If he could cover up the entire zone with his fire, then he'd not hesitate to do it. But the most he could do here was to cover up one fifth of the entire battlefield, and even less than that.

So I started to work on my bubbles the moment I returned, while the entire battle kept going on wild without any sign of cooling down.

[Let me loose! Let me fight!] and just as I started scattering my bubbles around, Sara sent such a message without a warning.

[Wait for the next wave of fire] I said in warning next, [Don't get over your head. You have nothing to contend against or protect your armies against these fires. Not to mention losing too much would leave you stranded deep in the enemy lines]

[Then give me that thing that brings out these bubbles] What a girl! Did she think my pillar was a common cabbage or what?

[Stop dreaming] I took a deep breath before adding, [And the moment you'll move, you'll always be within the range of five miles away from me]

[How can I do that while you are stuck here?]

[Who said I'm not going all out next? Don't think you are the only independent force here]

[Then let me free!]

[Tsk!] I sent this response and closed the chat with her, not bothering to even read a single word of what she sent later on.

This girl was quite good, but she was sometimes as annoying as the jumper or even worse!

What was inside her skull? Brain cells forged out of the desire to fight without any logic or common sense in there or what?

Couldn't she see how fierce and deadly these fires were? Not to mention the entrapping ability of the clouds.

-n0ve1,com If the enemy sat his gaze over her, then she might even face the harsh attack of the two abilities at the same time! Even I wouldn't be able to interfere in time and save her.

Tsk! Such a stubborn hot blooded person was quite fierce in normal battles, but not that productive or helpful during these kinds of battles.

For a moment there I seriously considered swapping her role with Legend or even the jumper. The former had more brain cells of logic than Sara. and the latter had the deep pockets of treasures and wealth to support him from all the apocalypses he jumped through before.

Chapter 1389 The First Ring Of Defence

Yet the moment I knew how bad she'd act in such a battle if she was one of the generals leading armies here, I refrained from doing so.

At least doing damage only to her army was much better than harming the entire armies here with her rash actions.

As I closed the page of Sara and pushed aside her headache, I returned to focus on spreading over my shields.

Yet just half way through doing this, the enemy leader seemed to sniff what I was doing. And then he started to unleash the fire ability again at the other half of my forces.

I felt like he waited all this time despite having the ability to use his fire to make sure I'd not be able to help. I was already far at the back while forming a new series of bubbles at one army course.

Seeing the fire sprung again made me inwardly smile. Even if he waited to make sure I was away from the place he struck, it didn't mean I was without a way to solve this.

If I was going to lose my forces anyway, then why wouldn't I take part of the enemy in return?

And so I activated the offensive attack of my shields the moment this fire appeared.

The two scary attacks came fiercely against my forces and my enemies. At the same time, my forces already had orders to retreat inside the shields the moment the fire was sighted.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

The two attacks clashed together, and the fire lost the clash and got pushed back before I got blinded by the light.

This time I waited for enough time to stack damage at my shields. Not to mention the attack came from all the shields I controlled, even the recently deployed ones at the frontline.

The attack lasted for a couple of hours this time. And that meant even if I lost a few million warriors, the enemy must have lost more than that!

The shockwave wasn't only harming and killing the enemy forces, but it was also brutal enough to damage the defences around.

And during such an attack, I jumped all over the places I previously stored before starting to deploy my shields, relayed more shields at the zones I didn't get it done before, and made the best use of this time.

Then I returned back to the central zone, and started to take tons of my warriors again to replenish the fallen ones during the fierce fights so far.

When the light subsided, all I could see was an open , clean world around me. The shockwave was so fierce this time to take the defences all the way down to the roots.

Only the endless dead bodies scattered everywhere, buried under the huge piles of rubbles and stones.

The enemy didn't dare to move his fiends in large numbers ever again after the bitter experience against my soulers. And yet they kept a large number of them gathered at the distance to move at any given time.

The enemy never expected me to sacrifice my forces in such a way using my shields' offensive attack. However I was more ruthless than he took me for, and the end result was quite satisfying for me.

I instantly jumped over the edge of this entire battlefield, and started to call more warriors there. "Go and collect all the gears you can find," I gave such an order to a few millions of them, while the others were sent to meet up with the enemies far away to stop them from interrupting the task of these few millions.

[I'm moving out!] As impatient as a hungry lioness, Sara sent this brief message and then I saw her army move out.

During all this time, all the forces lost many of their members, all but hers. And so it was quite logical to see her lead a grand and scary army out to the areas cleared by the shockwave.

She was brave and daring, I'd give her that credit. As she moved towards the unknown, her actions would help my side as well.

"Time to form the first ring of bubbles," seeing her move in such speed and eagerness, I knew I got time to do this painstakingly part of mine.

The enemy already exhausted his fire ability. And for an entire day he'd not be able to use it again. As for the cloud attack, it didn't matter that much to someone like Sara.

Even if she got entrapped with her back against the wall, she'd still fight till the bitter end. And during which, she'd not be this fool to not send me a distress signal, asking out for help.

And so I started to cover up tens of miles of land with my shields, making them coalesce together, lining out this zone as part of my kingdom!

It took me five hours to get it done. And during which, my forces went outside the areas of the ring and expanded their activities to areas beyond my sight.

Yet I received intel about their movement and actions all the time from Legend. This dude acted as the grand general of my forces per my earlier orders and arrangement.

As for Isac, she got her role to do right now. The base zone was already secured, and she had to reform everything and transform this place into one of our impregnable fortresses.

Such a task wasn't easy or would take a short time at all. And so I agreed to let her start doing it while I laid our first ring of defence.

According to these two's plans, I needed to lay down five rings of defence before calling this war over and starting moving to another world.

As for how to do so, it was quite simple. I already established the first parts of the twin devices back at ground zero world. And so by activating the second parts here, the entire portals would get activated.

Chapter 1390 Entrapping The Fiends

By using these, we can move our forces between the two worlds without any worry. At the same time, I planned to use the same method once coming back to get to another world.

-n0ve1,com If I ended up coming here, then I'd simply return back using the same way, crush the portal before finding another enemy portal to try.

It might seem a long task to do, but it wouldn't take more than one day to get it done.

As I got done with the first ring, I looked at the entire zone inside, and a greedy thought came to mind.

There were lots of fiends who fell here. Although they weren't like my last rich gain, they were still something.

So I took out more warriors and asked them to help others in collecting the gears. During the past hours, the few millions I left only covered a small part of the entire place.

Adding more warriors helped. And the main reason behind such delay was in the last devastating attack.

The bodies of these fiends got mixed with tons of rubbles and rocks, and with other dead bodies of the other two races as well.

So taking the gears out was still a hard task, and it proved to take much longer than usual.

"I should try to exert more control over my offensive ability," I muttered to myself before starting to join them and collect bones.

I ended up in less than one hour and my warriors still were working. I decided to leave them here, go out there and start helping others out.

30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom

The one who made me quite worried was none other than Sara. She wasn't the one to slack behind or lean to safe measures when moving out.

So I moved my chariot and tried to get near her current location.

The news coming from the frontline told lots about the current status of the enemy. And one word could describe that, chaos!

The enemy lines got broken already. If not for the already present defences, the enemy would have turned into a headless bunch of fools in front of my forces.

That was quite weird, as with the presence of the leader of them, nothing of this should have happened.

And yet reality proved that they were acting without anyone supervising them.

That meant either that leader got in the middle of the previous blast and got killed. And that was something I didn't buy.

Such a dude had many tricks to keep his life intact. If taking him down was this easily done, then it wouldn't be a problem dealing with him.

So this dude was absent, and that meant he felt his inability to contain me and my forces, and decided to ask for reinforcements.

These would take time to arrive. So it made more sense for him to leave behind a hard to crack defences to delay me as long as he could.

And yet the forces fighting mine were facing it easier than expected. And something told me this was all a trap!

This dude seemed to see through a point of weakness of mine… My shields couldn't cover up a large area.

So it seemed he aimed towards luring my forces away from the closest shields, and then he'd land over them using his deadly fire or trap them using the annoyingly clouds.

Either way, he'd manage to bring my forces lots of damage. In return for that, he'd also buy lots of time until the reinforcements would arrive.

The worst part was that I couldn't tell when or from where these reinforcements would take to arrive here.

"If so… Then it's better to keep most forces safe first…" I planned to stick around Sara and kill more fiends. However I got a more stressful mission to do.

As I decided to do that, I knew trying to cover up the entire track of the four armies was going to be futile. So instead I decided to go towards the furthest points they reached, and deploy my shields starting from there.

And I didn't miss to store these places with my staff. I wanted to make sure I'd be able to jump in and help if things went south or something.

When I reached the frontline of one army, I saw that the situation was indeed more chaotic than I already heard tales about.

Enemies were stationing inside the defences, using everything to fend off my forces. However they acted as if they were living in isolated islands, not moving in any cooperation, not even trying to help each other if things went south for a part of their forces.

This was the perfect example of one man for his own life. They worked as if they were all alone, not that this was their homeland and I was the one invading them.

Seeing such chaos made me grin evilly. It was perfect for my shields to work and store up damage during such times.

And so I started to spread out my shields, even went to far away places and left shields there. The enemy got either trapped, or scared by my shields and started to use everything they got to take it down from outside.

Seeing this made me smile. Do it, come and keep attacking my shields… Like this the shields would store lots of damage, and that would repent back at your forces coming to your aid in the future.

I kept moving around, scattering shields as if I was throwing seed on the ground. I kept doing this for long hours, while the enemy didn't show any sign of getting their mastermind back.

I knew that dude would get frustrated by seeing me do this. And so I waited to see his response. Yet after the passage of half a day, he didn't show any movement at all.

What was he waiting for? Or was he out of ideas?

For a reason, and after the passage of more than half a day in such a mess, I started to grow more suspicious about that dude's actions.

Chapter 1391 The Shocking Fighting Tactic

He should have tried to stop my forces, but he seemed to not care about any of that. Instead, he left his forces, including fiends, under the mercy of my forces.

One point must be taken in note here, the number of fiends didn't seem like anything I used to have seen before. They looked quite scarce, as if someone had called for them to retreat solo.

That was just the case for them. As for the other two races, they were still flooding the entire place with large numbers.

The Silences caused lots of trouble for my side, however they were countered with the soulers on my general side, and with the star arrays activated by my warriors.

I kept forming up many shields to count, and gradually I started to feel how vast the entire battlefield grew up in the past few hours to reach.

If I wanted to fly and cover up the entire distance, it'd take me days to do so! The four armies kept rampaging through the enemy, and Sara was far to be sighted.

I was worried about her and kept asking about her situation once per hour. In addition to that, I kept part of my moves to advance towards her direction, saving up places before returning to do my usual stuff.

I saved tons of places in this world during this period. And if not for all of these points getting saved, travelling across such a grand battlefield would be long and tiring.

I kept doing this until the first sign of disaster came to me. And it came from none other than Sara.

[I found something weird laying ahead!]

[What's that?] I paused in my tracks, and without even waiting for her answer I jumped instantly towards the furthest point closest to her.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

Even if it was the closest one, it'd take me roughly an hour to cross the entire distance between her and mine.

This girl kept moving around nonstop, dragging her army behind as if they all got chariots with fast speed like her. At many occasions, she found herself alone, leaving behind an army fuming out froth from their mouths due to the fervent chase they had.

[A new… Creatures, or a race… I can't tell! They are lining up the entire area around, seemingly acting as if they guarding this region]

[Guarding it? New race? How?!!] I was the one to be shocked this time when I read her words.

I knew from Silverlining and from the demonesse that there were only three races here. How come there was a fourth one?

​ [Stay put and don't get near them] I stressed over this before recalling how fierce and daring this girl was, and also how rash she was, [Try to clear up the entire area around from hostile enemies until I come to you]

[Sure, leave this easy task for me] She didn't get that I was trying to help her. If I just ordered her to stay put, then she wouldn't comply.

As for that mysterious race, it seemed quite fishy. "Since when did you get a fourth race up your sleeves? Huh?" I muttered while moving my chariot at its highest speed, heading directly towards Sara's current location.

It wasn't hard to spot her place. I just needed to follow the trail of blood and destruction left out by her army.

In my eyes, the entire region was intact except for a very broad path that seemed to penetrate through all the defences and forces stationed here, killing everyone and destroying everything in this path.

The path walked up ahead while twisting left and right. She seemed to not follow any logic or plan, just attacking any densely packed gathering of the enemy without any regard to anything else.

After flying for more than an hour, I finally started to spot the earlier signs of her army.

I felt worried when it took more than one hour to arrive at her location. However when I spotted her army, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

"Tsk! This girl… She is really suited to grow a moustache or something," I shook my head while watching her army fighting against the enemy.

To be more precise, it seemed more like they were struggling for their lives and not just fighting the enemy!

This girl took my order and did something even I didn't anticipate! She was supposed to lead out her army in one huge bulk, clear out the entire area from enemies without the need to risk anything.

However, how could she fight the enemy in such a safe way? No way! She was Sara!

She stretched out her army, formed a huge line that stretched in both sides, ending up at the horizon at both ends.

Her army wasn't thicker than a few thousands standing together, and they passed through the enemy forces and defences forcibly, leading a grand massacre in the middle of the enemy lines.

When she did that, the enemy didn't act stingy and came flooding at her forces from both directions. In the end, her army who was supposed to squeeze the enemy here, got squeezed instead!

The situation turned quite dire as the warriors started to fight in small groups, even acting as if each single one of them was fighting for his life.

This might look dangerous! But when I looked closely at different fight spots, I noticed something much crazier than this.

The enemy was entrapping my forces from all directions, but for a reason my warriors kept fighting fair and square, not showing a single sign of weakness at all.

Instead, if I wanted to describe what they felt, then it'd be courageous and quite daring! They were like beasts fighting their harmless prey, not fearing anything, and facing anything coming at them.

It was a very weird situation, one that left me lost for words for long minutes.

[I see you already here] just as I was lost in such shock, trying to observe more locations to make sure I didn't see things or got the wrong beliefs here, Sara sent this message.

Chapter 1392 Weird Creatures

I was jolted awake by her words, and when I looked around, I didn't see her chariot anywhere near.

[Where are you? Are you ok?] in such a hectic and crazy battle, how come she'd be ok?

[I'm leading my soulers to fight against the fiends army right now. I'm few miles to your East]

Soulers? Fighting a friend's army? What army? I grew puzzled, looked at the direction she told me about, yet couldn't see her chariot at all.

I was already flying high above the ground, enough for me to spot anything from ten miles away.

[I can't see you! Are you sure you are a few miles away?]

[I'm not using my chariot] she seemed to get why I felt this puzzled, [I'm fighting on foot for now]

[W… Why?!!]

[I wanted to get a better taste from these fiends. Anyway, the race I've told you about is almost fifty miles up ahead. You can go and check them out before coming here to help]

[Or I can do the opposite] I wouldn't miss a chance to fight a friend's army. If she said there was a big army of fiends, one that was enough for her to get her blood boiled up and drove her to fight on foot, that meant a hell of an army indeed.

After fighting and travelling for all this time, I grew numb to how scarce these fiends became. Finally finding a good army of them was something I'd never miss.

[Ok, I'm having fun right now and having one extra hand won't be a problem… Just don't over do it, ok?]

[What do you mean?] I moved my chariot instantly towards the direction she gave me.

Just in a few minutes, I got close enough to see what was going on down there.

And damn! This girl was indeed a magnet for trouble!

I worked my ass to find a good fiend army, and here it seemed the entire ground and sky were covered with fiends!

The army of fiends stretched all the way towards the distance, and I felt like it got connected with the weird encirclement she spoke about.

That meant this army covered up fifty miles at least, not to mention it spanned for a few miles around her and soulers.

The soulers were fighting like crazy, flashing and killing all the fiends around. But for a reason, she only got less than one fifth of the entire soulers I gave her before.

She should have one million of them, but right now only two hundred thousands at most were fighting the fiends.

As the fiends seemed to come at her while she was leading the army around in her risky way, the soulers were already stretched out for miles in a long and thin line.

That was why I didn't manage to see anything from far, not her forces, not the fiends. It was hard to see them in the middle of all this chaos, especially when the two sides got stretched out and didn't stick around.

The number of fiends was already much more than the soulers. And I spotted her fighting on the ground as she claimed.

She held two broadswords, each one looked quite heavy and deadly, hard to be wielded by one arm. Seeing these two swords gave me a good impression about them.

"They aren't bad," I saw how these swords acted sharp and cleaved the enemies she faced in two halves. Not even the strong defences of the fiends managed to stop her swords.

If one strike didn't do it, then she'd follow with much more until the enemy would fall. Yet despite her courage and her good swords which I didn't know from where she got them, she and the soulers here didn't have the upper hand.

How come they have such a thing when the enemy had millions, even tens of millions of fiends here?

It seemed as if the enemy called back all the fiends from the entire region, gathered them here, and decided to move against her.

Seeing this made me realise she got close to the enemy's real plans. And so the enemy placed a bounty over her head, wanting to kill her at any cost.

What was it? What did she see to bring such heat over to her? Was it that mysterious race? Or was it something else?

[Where are the rest of your soulers?] I sent it to her while not directly rushing towards that heated battle. I flew in a wide curve, avoiding the central hot point.

[I scattered them around. Fiends are everywhere, and not just stuck to me here]

[For real?!] This was quite bizarre. The enemy acted out of late like they got no fiends to spare or lose. And now they acted in such generosity, sending tons of fiends out?

[Stay here and keep them busy then] I sent over, [Will your other forces be alright?]

[I don't need much help right now] she seemed to not get how dangerous her situation truly was.

If that dude decided to act, then using the cloud or fire would be enough to bring her down.

I saved her spot and a few spots around, before moving out. If she stumbled over something this big about the enemy real traps, then it was better for me to go and see it for myself.

As I flew towards the distance, I noticed how thick the fiends were flooding towards here. They came like an endless stream of ice falling down the mountain like an avalanche!

I estimated before that the enemy might bring ten million here, but it looked like there were much more than that. Saying there were tens of millions might not be an exaggeration.

What went wrong in that dude's mind? Was what Sara saw worthy of such fierce and decisive response?

I recalled what she said earlier. She said that there were some weird creatures forming a grand line around this region.

Chapter 1393 Exomachines!

She didn't say anything else. Were these creatures worthy of such protection, to send all these fiends out to silence Sara and bury the secret she spotted down with her?

Or did she spot something else, something she thought was trivial and not worthy to mention and it was related to a bigger secret?

I couldn't tell until I'd see for myself.

Just seeing all these fiends marching towards one direction made me drool for them. "I can't let them escape, or else I don't deserve to be named Hye!" I took such a heavy oath on myself, deciding to not let a single one of them escape.

That made my earlier decision to withdraw from such a battle much wiser.

If I joined, then the enemy would get alarmed and might get scared. I'd regret it for a long time if all of these fiends ended up running.

So I kept flying at a very high altitude, hoping for my chariot to not get spotted by anyone.

As I rose to such height, I managed to see the things Sara spoke about.

I saw huge bodies, formed entirely of metal. They looked as if they were giant monsters or races, yet their bodies weren't formed of any flesh like any other.

Instead, all I saw was bodies made entirely out of metal like ores. I saw joints, shields, legs and trunks made entirely of metal. Yet these things had very lively looking eyes, and a face that could show human-like emotions.

I didn't know why but seeing these made me recall the old human obsession about AI and their revolutionary thoughts about making robots with minds like humans or even better.

These things down there... They looked like machines, robots, or manmade things, and yet they also looked lively like any other race.

I now realised why Sara got confused about such creatures, not finding the right words to describe them back then.

However this wasn't the crux of the issue.

Even when I spotted millions of them standing in neat lines, forming some sort of a formidable looking great wall that stretched towards two East and West, entrapping the entire zone inside, this didn't ring any alarm inside my head.

However, what really looked quite troublesome, enough to make my heart clink on its own, was the sight of these grand holes behind this line of defence.

These robots, or Exomachines like what I decided to call them, looked quite formidable. If the fiends got such value in my eyes thanks to the gears they got, then these Exomachines were something far more precious.

Their entire bodies were like a treasure trove in itself. Not to mention the revolutionary idea of them was priceless!

Just taking a bunch of these and delivering them to my research department was enough to change the entire future path of my kingdom.

I couldn't tell what weapons or tricks these Exomachines had. However, for some reason, the enemy didn't deploy them before. And that meant they weren't that formidable.

At best, they'd be armed with the same gears the fiends got, or even a bit weaker version of these. If the enemy had such strong forces from the start, then why wasting their kin in the previous battles and didn't just use such scary forces from the start?

It was either this force wasn't that terrifying, or it really was. However they came with a sole weakness, and that was their size.

If the enemy didn't use them before then it must be one of the end weapons they got to use when things would go south. And that must be related to the few numbers they got compared to other forces the enemy had.

I didn't know if they found such a race in a relic of a long gone civilisation like the grand third line of defence the enemy had, or perhaps they could make them. But one thing was true about them, they looked alive to be a race, but they didn't give me the vibe of being one.

Something must stand in the path of such formidable evolutionary forces. The more I thought about it, the more I got convinced that the enemy just found them in one ancient relic.

The enemy proved to be lacking in terms of research and technology. They got the third line of defence from one long lost civilisation and race, and yet they couldn't get a head or tail about the technology behind such a deadly weapon.

If that was the case, then in my eyes the Holy Ones turned to be some sort of scavengers. They got the ability to roam around many cosmos, visiting tons of universes, and found endless treasures left behind by long gone people.

They weren't that special. And that would explain how they couldn't mimic or break down the concept behind these Exomachines.

That didn't mean I wouldn't be able to do it! I got a large group of brilliant folks back at my research department. Giving them such specimens would be more than enough to open a new path for my weapon industry.

As for the problem of turning these into a mighty race, I was sure I'd get an idea when I'd get more intel about these things.

But for now I could already see a few strong points in them that would come to be quite troublesome later on.

For a first, they gave me the same feeling my shield bearers had.

That meant they might have some sort of a combined skill to be used when attacking or defending.

If their number wasn't that high then such a combined skill wouldn't matter. But I felt like their number would reach a staggering one hundred million if I put the grand region here in consideration.

The next problem lies in the creatures themselves, or should I call them machines? Anyway, they gave me the impression that they wouldn't be easily tamed or might be immune to my technique.
