1210 I'm Alone Is Enough
“Why?” Isac was the first to ask, and she didn’t even raise her head off that defensive drawing I just finished.
“One army will work to attack the defences and the other will take the responsibility of taking charge of the conquered zones,” I slowly explained before adding, “as for the weapons and other forces, they can join in after claiming the central zone out there.”
“But…” Lily paused, exchanged looks with Isac who just raised her head as if she was about to say the same words, “we don’t have the same ability as you to peep into that world.”
“Don’t worry about that,” I smiled mysteriously, “when the time comes, you’ll get my signal. Then you can send in all the weapons and warriors into that world,” I paused before adding, “the warriors’ task is to defend and protect the weapons, not to directly join the fight, got it?”
“So you are going to attack with five armies? Which generals do you need from here then?” Lily asked, but I slowly shook my head. “What did I get wrong?” she frowned and I couldn’t help but smile.
“I’ll go alone first,” I said such a shocking thing before adding, “after one hour, send the five armies out. I don’t care who is going to join, but Sara must be amongst them. Then when I give you the signal, you can send the other five to defend what we claimed.”
“This…” Lily wasn’t the only one to feel shocked and doubtful. Everyone else shared the same weird look over their faces.
These guys… Did they miss me to the point of forgetting how I used to fight?
“Anyway,” I waved my arm, “just make sure to be well prepared here while I’m away. Don’t let anyone trespass our lands, got it?”
“Are you sure about that?” Despite the fact that they didn’t see anything related to the world out there, they got the feeling that things weren’t right.
“Don’t worry,” I told Lily, telling everyone, “I’m not that OP but I’m sure I can hold myself against them.”
I turned towards the portal in front of me and added, “how long do you need to prepare?”
“You told us there is an hour,” Lily shrugged, “so we have enough time to sort things on our side.”
“Cool…” just before I’d tell them to leave the chariot, Sara stepped in front of me and looked serious. “What?” I didn’t know what she wanted, or what I did say wrong before. So I asked in doubt.
“Let me come with you.”
“You are coming,” I didn’t know why this girl was acting like this.
“I want to be on the vanguard alongside you.”
She was so stubborn. I sighed before throwing it directly at her face, “honestly you are too weak to stand by my side now.”
“This…” My answer seemed harsh and unexpected for her. She stuttered and paused, unable to say what she was supposed to say.
“If you came, if any of you came, you’ll end up holding me back and won’t be able to help,” I didn’t have anything specific against Sara. I just said what I had in my mind.
The layout of that world was indeed scary. If I allowed anyone to come, he or she would end up dying. Worst case would be for me to step in and protect them, dividing my attention over many spots.
That was going to end up pretty bad. Even if it looked crazy, being alone was much better than going there with five or even ten armies in tow.
I asked everyone to leave the chariot. And as they started walking down, they all looked back at me in a complicated way.
They seemed to have zero trust in my abilities. I went into hiding for years indeed, but that didn’t mean they should forget how scary I was.
“It seems I need to remind them all of my scary techniques and way of fighting,” I sighed while watching such gazes coming from those close up to me.
I expected them to harbour doubts, but to have zero trust was something that hurt my feelings.
I took a deep breath when the chariot was empty. The first thing I did was to check my soul count.
During all this time, the fight against zombies here and the brutal wars going on in many worlds granted me tons of souls.
I looked at the number and found it was worth tens of billions. That was scary without doubt. After the end of this, what would my final soul number be?
Without any hesitation I used soul points to make out lots of fallen gods. These were indispensable forces that I’d use to crush any enemy standing in front of me.
I spent five billion souls this time to summon one hundred thousand fallen gods. It was an unbelievable number, and such a scary army consumed tons of energy crystals and stat points to be at full power.
I also spent another five billion to summon lots of Bulltors, shield bearers, soulers, and dragons. At last I could say I got enough power to my side to form a scary personal army.
I didn’t intend to depend solely on them. I’d better use my technique and control Hescos, turning them into my forces to fight alongside my warriors.
Like this, taking down a few layers out there wouldn’t be an issue. And about the dense defences there and the heavy fire my forces would suffer from, I had two solutions for that.
“Playing them by their rules won’t do me much,” I was lost in thoughts while recalling the grand defensive structure out there.
Unlike the grand fortress that I crushed before, this one seemed a bit worthless. Till taking down the highest layer, my forces would always be facing grave danger.
After controlling it, this grand defensive structure wouldn’t be of any help to my forces. It wasn’t like the grand fortress filled with walls and defensive traps and towers, this one seemed pretty useless unless the enemy decided to come out from the central lowest point like mine.
