Novel Full 968 The Second Training Grounds
[Where are you now?] I sent this while letting my chariot fly towards the direction of the western continent.
The place looked too damn calm and peaceful compared to what it looked like weeks ago.
The sky was clear and the ground was void of any monster. The ocean looked calm and peaceful, just the kind of peace before the storm.
Just as I flew past the eastern continent, I got to see lots of people working. They finished digging the ground, and were now laying foundations and I got to see parts of walls, forts, cities, and various structures.
It seemed they were halfway through.
[I’m at the western continent] Isac sent, [I’ve already finished drawing everything and waiting to tell you about what I did]
[Good. Is Lily over with you?]
[She is at the south continent, dealing with her forces arrangement there]
[Cool! I’m coming]
I didn’t jump and kept flying to see how things were going on. The building extended to the many islands in between the two continents. And it seemed everything was going smoothly without the harassment of monsters.
As I crossed the trail towards the western continent, I got to see the unique building outlay of this place.
The eastern continent got filled with the regular towns and cities clusters that I was familiar with. There was a huge wall getting built there, alongside many towers and forts.
But the western continent showed a different arrangement. There were not many towns and cities here. Instead, there were islands of forts, walls, and in between there were empty places.
Such a weird and unique arrangement was enough to make the building process here go at a faster rate than the other continent. After all, the area people here had to work on wasn’t that big compared with other places.
Seeing this made me realise what Isac intended to turn this place into. She would let this continent be for offensive warfare, where my forces had to fight on open grounds and try to claim forts and crush walls and defensive structures.
The more I flew inside this continent, the more I became surer of my earlier guess.
The central part of this continent was an entire empty place, without a single structure being built there. I spotted Isac’s chariot flying on top of the continent, while lots of people were standing on the ground.
“We got a new batch just hours ago,” she motioned her head towards the ground.
“Is this only the ones who arrived?!” I moved my eyes. There was a lot, but not that much actually. It felt like it was just one fourth of what I used to get.
What happened? Didn’t Ludak say they were going to double the amount sent?
“Oh, about that… Lily decided to take all the forces away, leaving only workers here,” Isac pointed towards the place of portals in the distance, “the first thing was to shout for those who will be soldiers. They’ll move at once towards the other two continents, to get familiar with the structures there.”
“I see… And this one here will be for the offensive battles?”
“Yes, you’ll have to ask that Qilin to make monsters stationed around the forts we are currently building,” Isac took out a big piece of paper and stretch it over my chariot’s floor, “I arranged the forts on different circles and layers here, here, and here…”
She pointed at the outer part of the continent, while the centre was all empty. “Monsters will defend, and our forces will come through the portals to form armies and try to take the forts down.”
“They will have to conquer forts only?”
“Conquer and then retreat, letting monsters take them again. Then the ones who succeeded will be sent to the southern continent where they’ll fight to defend and conquer forts at the same time.”
“This… What about the eastern one then?”
“It will be the first training ground any fresh forces will train at,” she took another map, filled with many towns, cities, walls, and forts, “they’ll deal with it like they were defending the kingdom. Those who will train for enough time there will be sent here. And once they succeed in conquering forts, they’ll be sent over to the southern continent where they’ll fight the same way we do at the apocalypse.”
“Interesting… I like this…” I said in praise, “great job!”
“Thanks. But Lily asks you to change the location of the receiving force. We have to leave a great deal of space just to receive the newly arrived races and humans. Not to mention the ruckus caused by arranging them.”
‘Does she want to do it now?” I asked in doubt. Of course I got the reason behind Lily’s demand, but right now they needed all the workers to help in finishing the building process here.
“Well… We are only two days away from completing building here. But on the other two continents, we still need lots of workers to get it done in less than a week.”
“I see…” I opened a chat with Silverlining to see him sending me tons of pleading messages before finally rejoicing over what Ludak said to him.
This jerk… Sigh! Every time I recalled what he did made my blood boil!
[Sure, I will send it to the place you desire. But you have to arrive there first]
[Give me a moment] I said, opened my staff bookmarks and selected one on the eastern continent. “Let’s go,” I passed through the portal, arriving at the eastern continent.
I appeared at the mid zone of this continent, the place where the fierce battle with my little Qi and its endless ocean of flying monsters erupted before.
“This is a good spot, right?” I turned to Isac and she took a few minutes to make up her mind before nodding. [Send them over to my current location. And send me the things you got from that crazy sovereign]
[He… Didn’t deliver yet]
