It wasn’t any lesser than my second Earth or the world of my necromancers. It was filled with hills, green forests, many rivers running, and in the middle of all this were shining spheres of different colours.
I rose for miles high in the air without feeling I even reached halfway to the end of this sky! And from my current very high altitude, I could get enough field of vision to cover hundreds of miles around.
“One white… Three white… Two blues… Ten green…” I started to count the colours around, assessing which I should focus more at this current moment.
From such a high altitude, I felt like a great god overseeing mortals! Zangibar advised that we’d first select the smallest white coloured territory down there, the closer to us the better.
“There… Their… And there…” As I recalled his words and advice, I soon pinpointed three suitable targets.
One was just a few miles to our location, slightly to the east. The other two were ten and fifteen miles approximately away.
But all were white in colour, and had small areas compared to others.
“This…” yet when I turned to look at my territory, I found it white and smaller in size than all of them.
This… That meant the ones I selected were at least slightly stronger than mine! Would it be this hard to conquer territories here? Or would I end up being the one to get devoured?
“Lord, did you find any suitable targets?” When I finished my fast scout, I hurriedly came down to the ground where Zangibar was.
“Come on board,” I motioned for him to come, and he did with many of the other leaders.
“Here is the current situation…” I started to explain in honest and sincere words what I found. “If it’s impossible, then let’s all retreat and defend my territory.”
“Lord… Your territory is still new!” Zangibar said, shaking his head in such a decisive way.
“What do you mean by that?” I didn’t follow what he meant.
“It means your current territory will need time to show its real grade and strength,” he added, “and that means what lord saw isn’t even close to the real strength of your territory.”
“Oh… If you say it this way then…” all the worry and anxiety I got vanished the moment he said these words.
If it needed time to show up its full potential and strength, then that meant I might be able to conquer these three territories, right?
And that also meant others might get fooled with my current grade, and they’d be tempted to come and invade mine.
If so… Then it might be a good chance at hunting down flies, taking down most of their strongest forces, before moving out and aiming at their lands to conquer.
That… Was simply too perfect for me to not laugh in excitement.
“Let’s go!” I led them towards the nearest land, “we’ll start with this little dude first. Let’s all test our might and see what height we’ll reach with our current strength.”
“To war!”
“For the lord!”
“For our clan!”
“For glory!”
And different shouts came from down below, as we started the march towards the first target.
The world here looked so damn real! According to the drawings and instructions left by Zangibar, the way I went to the world before was in spiritual form.
Going into the world through my dantian and meridian was a way to enter the world, but it would limit me from doing many things.
To get the full use of my world, I had to pass through the gate techniques to enter the world. And that explained why my perception of the world was something different.
The closest target wasn’t that far away. In less than ten minutes, I stood on the edge of this lord’s territory alongside my army.
The territory was lined with a white light that formed a weak form of a dome. Inside, I could see lots of buildings, and many forces standing in wait.
They were all giants, and they looked fierce with all the scars over their faces and bodies. They lacked enough gears to cover up even half of their bodies, reminding me of the Berserkers.
“Attack!” I knew that the hardest enemy I was facing wasn’t these lord’s forces, but time. I had to conquer as many territories as possible in the shortest possible time.
Like this, I’d allow my land to expand and evolve, giving a scare to those nearby. I’d also bring more forces here, and I’d have a chance to build defensive structures there.
This territory lacked any wall to protect, and that allowed the easy entry of my forces. I examined a few drawings about the wall creating techniques.
And they all stressed over a simple fact; it was a huge energy consumption process without doubt.
For others this might be hard to accomplish. After all the energy must come from the lord’s dantian and not from any other source.
For me… Humph! I could simply summon tons of bones, ingest them and turn them all into my spiritual energy. And that was the big difference and advantage I got.
“Arrange the frontline!”
“Stop them from trespassing our land!”
“Send a message over for the lord to come!”
Many shouts came, and I got that the lord of this territory wasn’t here. That highlighted a simple and crucial point that I missed.
I wouldn’t be able to get stationed here all the time! And when I’d train in cultivation or go to fight at the other worlds or at that golden quest, I’d have no time to even come here to rescue my forces if anything bad happened.
Just realising this simple and yet crucially important point made me decide something else.
This war… This invasion crusade mustn’t stop until I’d get my hands over tons of territories.
Leaving behind millions of forces, supported by big and towering walls, strong defensive towers, and lots of defensive traps would be the ideal setting I’d leave here before starting any of my future plans.
