1429 Clearing All Zones
The enemy couldn’t do anything towards me in the end. The most they did was to waste little of my time wandering around before I’d take in tons of their forces after jumping back.
How could they handle someone like me who could simply jump back to any point, then move fast with his chariot that could cross hundreds of miles in one hour?
After the passage of six days, I decided to retreat back and collect the trophies all over the place.
I left tons of warriors before at the buffer zone, and they got enough time to cover such a grand zone and collect all the gear I wanted.
When I jumped back in a flash, I found mountains of gears waiting for me. These mountains spread all over the place, reaching to the horizon without showing any sign of stopping.
All of these… All of these were gears that belonged to me, solely to me, hahahaha! Thanks my dear enemy, without your constant contribution, I’d have found it hard to crush you, hahahaha!
I started to gather all the gears while laughing from time to time. I took two days to finish all this, while I took back the weak warriors who finished their task, and replaced them with full state warriors.
It was time for me to add more geared forces to my side.
The number of gears gained from this world exceeded one billion complete sets of gears and much more than that of incomplete sets.
I didn’t bother myself thinking about which warriors I should arm. I simply took out all the full state warriors and armed them up with my sets.
After I finished, there was less than one day remaining for the twenty worlds to open. And it meant it was time to go back.
[Make everyone ready, we’re going back] I sent this message before jumping towards the first place we arrived at.
[We are coming to you now] Isac sent, [I already finished my task. And Isabella will stay here to govern over things]
[Ok]
In less than ten minutes, the nine generals appeared one by one, and they looked quite eager to go back.
They got enough rest, while I worked my ass literally to strengthen ourselves.
But the end result was quite shocking! The number of forces I gained and stored inside my cube was simply out of my wildest imagination!
Not to mention the geared warriors that I armed up and stored back inside my inventory.
All in all, it was worth the trouble coming here and visiting this world. And now it was time for a brand new adventure, the most important one of all.
After all, the golden quest here depended entirely on my ability to free the trapped twenty races here, not just crushing the entire enemies.
And so I took everyone back using the portal I just established, and before leaving I made sure to merge the shields together in the central zone to cover up the entire defences Isac built and give my forces here room to fight and defend quite easily.
I left a few words to Isabella, stressing over retreating or sending a messenger if things went south. I would accept the loss of any forces of mine, but not a single general.
To me, generals were such an indispensable force that I would never accept losing a single one of them.
[I’m back!] I sent this message over to Lily once I returned to the ground zero, [Bring everyone back]
[What about the hot zones? Will we leave subordinates to lead our forces there?]
[No, I’ll crush the portals in the next few hours. Make everyone retreat inside the shields for their safety and order the generals to come here]
I knew she was still thinking about the fights going on in the hot zones. But such fights would be a distraction from now on.
It was better to take down all the portals, and take everyone back to help invade other worlds.
I didn’t know yet how my access to these worlds would be. If it was a portal opening at my controlled zones, then these eight zones would have to wait until the attack vanished.
That might take a few days, up to one week at most. During which, I’d go and invade the other twelve worlds, getting to know the situation there, and prepare a plan to free them.
But first I got to secure these eight worlds. So I jumped around, left behind lots of zero state warriors inside the frontline shields.
The locusts were now considered my most loyal troops. Without them, pulling such moves would be quite hard.
I didn’t take much time in deploying my forces, and then started to gather bones from all over the zones.
I didn’t get much time left anyway, so I just randomly jumped between places I saved before in these zones, and yet I barely managed to gather up bones from all these.
The dead bodies piled up here were endless! So just taking bones would take a long time, even with my turbo mode.
[We are ready] after five hours, Lily sent to me when I came to her zone after collecting the bones, [You can start]
[Good] I didn’t forget the time limit I gave to them to withdraw their forces. As they retreated, I went to each zone, activated the offensive attack, didn’t stay behind to check over the situation, and jumped to another zone.
The eight zones turned now into a purgatory place for all the enemy forces. At the same time, all the portals would get crushed.
If the shields supporting these portals tried to stop the attack, then I’d like to see how they’d stop an attack coming from months of accumulation of damage.
Even if a few portals remained in the end, I could simply use my bone energy and unleash a deadly attack. Or I could activate a few of my bones, scatter them inside each zone, and release a mighty attack later on.
