1172 Crazy Idea
I also thought about bridges the moment I realised this problem. I even thought about sending forces down these holes and standing guard there.
p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om But I knew this was going to fail. Unless I was ready to turn this fight into a battle over holes, then this idea wasn’t going to work.
“It won’t work,” I shook my head and told her what she already knew.
“Then how about we use flying monsters?” Lily suddenly said, “I recall you breed flying monsters, right?”
My eyes shone brightly when I heard her words. Little Qi already had lots of flying monsters.
I didn’t plan to use them in a fight. I just needed them to transport my forces across the two abysses.
“Send someone over to the pocket world there,” I chose Lily as Isac wasn’t well informed about that world. Lily nodded and went to execute the order.
Using flying monsters as a mount was an ideal solution. Each monster bred by little Qi was majestic. Their bodies were enough to carry tons of force on their backs. Not to mention these monsters were ferocious enough to join any fight without any worry over their lives.
Before I got a chance to return and watch the ongoing battle in the other world, someone came towards my chariot, someone I recognised.
“Lord, may I have a word with you? Please?” I looked down at Garry, the one who was sent by old Gan and others to lead the forces of the research department.
I motioned for him to come up, and threw a rope for him to climb up here. Once arrived, he panted in a weird way, making me wonder if his strength was this weak or what.
“Lord… Hoof, I heard you sent for flying monsters…” he couldn’t speak without panting and catching his breath.
“What’s wrong with you?” I looked in a weird way towards him, and he took a few minutes before calming his breaths down.
“I just came in a hurry towards here,” he looked little better, and I felt like he ran all the way across the entire continent or something, “I heard lord wants the help of the flying monsters, right?”
“That’s correct,” I looked in anticipation towards what he was going to say. He was part of the research department, and he must have some sort of crazy idea about what to do.
Would he suggest using apaches and other fighters? I doubted that. If they got such a large amount of high end human tech, he wouldn’t just send these small numbers of fighters here to begin with.
Besides, fighters weren’t able to transport many troops. Or did they transform some sort of huge planes to be apocalypse friendly?
“I believe the lord has seen the strength of our portable shields, right?”
I was surprised by what he said, and I remembered the flaring lights and oval shaped shields that appeared around the apaches while fighting against Hescos.
“We can arm these monsters with these,” he didn’t stop his madness there, and kept adding more pieces of crazy ideas, “we can also arm their backs with portable cannons and guns. If you also wanted, we can add the new version of portable rocket launchers, mini-missile launchers, and the most recent addition of long ranged mine thrower.”
I looked at this dude… What was he really thinking exactly? I imagined and tried to add all the things he spoke about on the backs of my flying monsters.
If what he said was true, and he and his crew succeeded in doing such a thing, then it would be awesome and mind blowing! Flying monsters would turn into miniature versions of flying fortresses! And they even might be much deadlier thanks to their swift flying capabilities.
“Are you sure you can do it?” I looked in doubt towards him. Saying all this stuff was great and cool. But applying it to the monsters was another matter.
Monsters were living creatures, not just some sort of ores or dead rocks. They couldn’t have such things installed over their bodies without much damage to the bodies of these monsters.
“We have our ways to do it,” Garry spoke in such confidence, making me even doubt that the department already ran tests over monsters to make such things work over their backs without worry.
“Then I want to see how you’ll do it,” I didn’t reject his offer to help, “but if you are going to take a long time, I won’t let that happen. You know we are fighting against a tough enemy out there.”
“I won’t disappoint lord,” he kept acting this mighty and boastful of their ability to do it. And he claimed to do it in a smooth and fast way, making me wonder how they’d do it.
I watched him getting down and start shouting at his people. I saw a few going through the portals back to second Earth, seemingly calling for help.
I waited and watched without interfering or saying anything. As this was going to take some time, I returned to check over the current situation of the battlefield over the other world.
The battle was going according to my worst expectations. The sudden burst of Hescos with all their forces made it impossible for my outermost forces to stop them.
They couldn’t even delay them too much until the Hescos finally got near the suit legions. The moment they got closer, the suits started to attack hard and fast, showing no mercy for these Hescos.
This helped a lot in stopping the incoming Hescos. But many of the Hescos wore flying suits as well. So the effect of the flying suits on my side was quite limited by a lot.
The ground battle turned to be much bloodier than before. The forces at the mid zones were already strong. They started to fight the Hescos on equal grounds. Only the number difference that played in Hescos favour was causing my forces to lose this clash.
