1189 Legend Gets What He Wanted
As for my forces, they kept fighting and killing without facing any problem. Their enemies were weaker race fighters, and the Hescos never stepped again into their place.
I felt like Hescos got the wrong idea. I didn’t wait all this long to trick the Hescos to reinvade this region. But it seemed they were too cautious to even send a few legions out, even when exhaustion kicked in into my forces.
I was worried they might notice this and come hard at my exhausted forces. If they ever did, then it was bound for my forces to fall in large numbers without my ability to help.
But my test for the orbs passed smoother than I expected. And these Hescos seemed to be more inclined to their safe fortresses and towers than risking their lives to snatch an advantage from me.
For another hour, I finished binding all of the orbs they brought over and the others finished instructing their people. They started sending them to the Hescos world, preparing a place in the outer region for these dens.
Even if the trial went without any hiccups, I didn’t fully entrust their presence in the middle of my forces. If a single den went rogue, it would be safer to let it be away from my forces.
“Are your drones ready?” During this time, Garry worked with his men to load the drones with many explosives and grenades. He led his team to modify these, and they were still working.
“We finished almost ten thousand drones,” Garry ran to me as he added, “we can start now if lord wants.”
“If it was up to me, I’d rather wait until you are all finished and then move. However time won’t await us,” I thought before adding, “move them over to the other world. And make a few of your capable people go there and teach others how to control them.”
“We don’t need much to control,” Garry said in confidence, “they can move on their own.”
“I don’t want any trouble in that process,” I paused before seriously adding, “‘the major impact of this attack lies within the element of surprise. Don’t give the enemy any chance to adapt.”
“I know,” he nodded but I didn’t truly trust his response. I knew he was trusting his tactic too much.
Even with zombies taking out the frontline fire and focus, the enemy would just be surprised for a little time before they’d arrange something to deal with his drones.
“I want the first wave to attack the most crucial towers,” I said, pointing out at the grand drawing of the defences before adding, “if you handled one hundred towers from the start, then we could hit one hundred zones. But it won’t differ that much. That place is formed of tens of thousands of such zones.”
“I won’t do that,” Garry shook his head before pointing at the drawing done by Isac, “I already spoke with Isac bro, and we reached a tactic together.”
“What tactic?” I knew if Isac was involved, then the tactic wouldn’t be that bad. But I wanted to revise it to make sure things would go as planned.
“We will attack using probing drones first,” he pointed at many dots before adding, “we will test the response of the enemy, and based on that we will try to detect the key towers.”
“This means you must send someone capable and smart out there,” I got this based on our last talk about the plan. However that also meant there must be someone leading this entire operation.
He must be smart, quick witted, and quite daring. If not, then he would miss many of these key towers.
“Isac selected one general she trusted,” Garry slowly said, and for a moment a name popped up in my head.
“Don’t tell me she chose him,” I rolled my eyes. And from the reaction over Garry’s face, I knew I guessed it right. “That damn brat! He didn’t stop dreaming about doing it!”
I was surprised that Legend moved behind my back and found a way to go to that world. According to this plan, a capable general must lead this charge or else things would be bad.
Selecting Legend was something I would never say no to. He was capable, daring, and intelligent. He was young, the youngest general I had, but he was one of those few I would entrust with such a tactic.
“Lord, don’t worry about me not coming back,” when I realised he was going, Legend stepped forward and spoke in a serious tone, “once we crushed that fort, we will press forward and control a city or a town out there. Then through the portals there I’ll come back.”
I sized him up and down, knowing that this kid did what I said not to. However I liked his stubborn and creative personality. He didn’t take no as an answer, found a legit way around to do what he wanted.
I liked that. “Don’t get yourself killed out there,” I only said before waving for him to go down and lead the forces of drones towards the other world.
This operation took a lot from the one leading it. And hopefully he’d perform the same way he did so far.
p anda nOvel.cO,m I ignored the world around me for the time being. Garry went to lead his people in modifying more drones, while Lily and Isac got themselves busy handling the forces sent over to the other world.
I knew this was the time to show off the tens of millions of warriors lying in wait. But first two things must happen first.
The orbs must be activated, then my forces there would press forward, clear a path for these zombies to attack the Hescos. Then drones would attack.
I still didn’t think that using ten thousand drones was going to be enough. However if they were used in a smart way, they might clear almost one fifth of the entire defensive zone out there.
