1471 The Awkward Planet
At the same time, the enemy was gushing tons of forces here into this part of the planet. So it was never a smooth sailing journey for my forces.
They had to fight the enemies here, fight the enemies while taking such dangerous leaps, and finally fight the enemy on the other half of this broken planet.
And that wasn’t everything!
Just as I remained here for an hour, inspecting the entire messy situation, I saw something horrifying!
That other half of the planet wasn’t just rotating at the same speed and pattern like this part I was in.
The two looked like they spinned on different axes, and that was why I suddenly saw the inner part of that half coming to fill my entire vision.
The planet was like a giant ball that got halved by a sharp knife. So the two parts remaining were formed of circular and flat sides.
The flat side was what the inner part of that planet was. And it was indeed understandable to look like hell!
Endless rivers and even many seas and few oceans of lava appeared at that side. And when that half rotated, and let its flat part face us, all the forces coming in the direction of that damned place got killed by such inhuman circumstances.
Damn! It was indeed a hellish place to reach!
I knew the jumper race were trying their best to stop the enemies, but right now their allies were going to face the same end.
It was like burning down the only bridge linking the island to the mainland, ending up entrapping themselves and isolating themselves from the rest of the world.
It was indeed a genius idea to stop the enemy, but it was also a very stupid one! What went in their minds when they decided to do such a crazy thing?
It was like they lost any hope of getting out from this forsaken place, threw the towel and decided to enclose their world from the reach of anyone, enemies and allies alike.
That was the only explanation that made sense and explained such a hellish situation.
Putting everything aside, I started to consider how I should pass towards the other part. I now realised why the reports coming back from here all spoke about how hard this world was, and how they never met the jumpers yet.
They said they could see the jumpers fight, but couldn’t reach them. Such a statement was indeed quite true, described fully this current weird situation, and was also misleading.
Tsk! Why didn’t any of them try to explain the entire situation before? Was it this hard? Or were they shocked to describe it properly?
That didn’t matter anymore. This problem had to be solved, and I knew how to solve it.
“I first need to see how long this weird rotation would last,” I wouldn’t risk jumping towards that hellish place and end up fighting a desperate battle against the power of nature.
So I remained in my place, checking over the status of that planet from time to time. After five days, that hellish place finally started to fade away, and the surface of that half of the planet rotated and came into my sight again.
During this time, I didn’t just stand there and watch.
As a start, I drove my chariot around, checking on the entire place and seeing how things were going here.
In fact, the situation was best described as disastrous! This part of the planet was like what got left out of a great mountainous series.
The ground was either elevated from the ground, or deeply depressed, forming deep and irregular grooves.
The highest place I met didn’t exceed five hundred metres, but with the deep grooves around, such a peak would exceed two thousand metres at least.
It wasn’t a real height, and was just formed thanks to the irregular and harsh terrain here. And that turned this part of the planet into a deadly zone, not only for my side, but also for the enemy.
No matter where I went, there were tons of forces mixed together to the extent that I couldn’t tell who was part of my side and who wasn’t.
The entire terrain didn’t allow for any large army to show their worth. At the same time, it was very hard for any side to crush the other.
It was simply like grinding grounds, or slaughter houses where tons of forces would get sacrificed without any side having the upper hand.
I know why this world proved to be so damn difficult to control. I couldn’t help but wonder about what I should do to help, and couldn’t get any good ideas.
Using my pillar shields wouldn’t help. The entire terrain prevented the advantage my shields would give to my forces.
Using soulers? They might be useful, but they’d waste tons of time and effort while moving around these peaks and grooves.
Using any of my artefacts? It wasn’t going to work! Not a single artefact could solve this situation.
The only thing that I needed right now was to detonate tons of bones, change the entire layout of this part of the world. If I managed to flatten these peaks, then things would end up being quite great.
To do such a thing I needed to recall all my forces back first, then start attacking the entire world. In fact, doing this wasn’t going to work actually as the time needed to call my forces back was going to be damn long.
Not to mention it looked impossible to recall anyone back from there.
However I wasn’t out of options here.
“I have to clear an area for my forces, at least the one surrounding the portal,” I got something out, and started to take out bones at the next instant.
It was the cube! And it was time for it to show its true might!
