709 Exploring A Piece Of Heaven
“… Also the destroyed mechas would take a long time to repair, or even wait to be replaced. Not to mention training elites over driving such behemoths of metal takes a long time, a really long time.”
“So they can’t widely use it in any world? Right?”
“Sure, if they have such ability then they would have become the true lord of our universe.”
This was reassuring. I didn’t get what these mechanics were for. But from her words, I got a scary idea about this legion.
If they could use it freely, then trying to aim at them here would be pointless. Fighting against such scary things? Humph! That would be suicidal!
“What do you think of this place then?” I turned my attention to the beauty around me. Comparing this place with the other places I visited, this was much suited to be my capital.
“Don’t tell me you intend to build cities here!” She looked at me in a weird way, and my silence gave her the answer.
“Sigh! Can’t you see? The journey to here wouldn’t have been possible if not for your chariot! Even mine won’t be enough!”
“I have a way to solve this,” I knew this wouldn’t be possible using the chariot I bought for them. But the flying forts would help in solving this problem.
“Enough of sightseeing,” After we flew around for almost an hour, examining this vast piece of beauty, we finally reached a place where the clouds ended abruptly and started to rise up, forming some sort of a big wall of clouds.
It started black, then kept fading and turning towards white. The wall rose up for hundreds of metres, giving this place a new sacred touch of beauty.
“Are we going down the same way or…” without the need for her to continue her words, I controlled my chariot and let it rise higher, going over this wall.
“Yes, I know you are crazy enough to do it!” Just as we crossed the top of this wall, we found ourselves hanging freely in the air, seemingly losing all the power operating my chariot.
And like we were riding a rollercoaster, the chariot fell freely from such height, crossing the thick layer of clouds fast enough to give me a real scare.
“Come on!” I kept trying to make my chariot fly again. The early attempts failed, and until we got close to the big ocean down below, I finally succeeded.
“Dammit! This was really fun! Hahahaha!” I didn’t know what was fun about this, but Lily kept laughing for a few minutes.
I ignored her while looking up there. It was the first time for me to experience such a thing.
“It seems like a defensive natural mechanism, protecting such beauty up there,” this was the only explanation I got for now.
As for the world we descended towards, the ocean here was more violent than the oceans on Earth.
In brief, it was filled with huge tsunami-like waves, coming at the shore as if they were normal waves.
The only thing that protected the land was its high altitude from the surface of the ocean. The water level down below was almost a hundred metres away from the shore.
Even with such massive and frequent big waves, the shore stood mighty and tall against the ocean.
“This place… Are you sure of using the dens here?” she turned to ask when she freed herself from that laughing spell.
“We have no other option,” I looked left and right, “as you can see, this is the nature of the oceans here.”
“It’s just much riskier than the oceans in your world.”
“I know,” I got what she wanted to say here. But the harsher the environment, the better. “The shore has a wide space, enough to construct camps there.”
“But the route through the mountains will be a problem.”
“Not in a world void of any monsters,” I shrugged, reminding her of how special this place here was. “I’ll also bring people directly here. So you don’t need to worry about the journey from here to the central plains.”
“But…”
“Whenever I’d need an army, I’d open a portal directly,” I pointed at the wide shore that spanned for tens of miles in width, “just the initial period of building the camps will be the hardest.”
“It’s not,” she confidently said, “If they can’t even build their own residence, how can they try to challenge themselves to get better? It’s a standard thing to let soldiers build the camps as part of their training.”
“Ok,” she was the expert, and she knew what she was talking about. “But the real deal is out there.”
I didn’t select this region because it was close to the ocean. I did because there were lots of islands scattered in the middle of this raging part of the ocean.
Just as we flew for a few minutes towards the horizon, we finally met the early islands there.
They were like the shore, and had higher altitude grounds than the water down below.
Few were big to accommodate many cities and towns, and others were small to have a town or even a small village.
“This place… It’s really good for training,” Lily finally said her opinion after flying around for half an hour, “but…”
“I’ll make sure to bring the forces here myself,” I knew what she wanted to say, “each island has enough trees to have a source of food and wood for them to live. But the question now is, where will you throw the monster dens?”
“Preferably at the depths of the ocean,” she pointed towards the horizon.
“Ok,” I kept flying, and in the next ten hours, we crossed over lots of different sized islands.
“This… It doesn’t end by the big ocean,” as we flew for ten hours, we finally ended up at another big piece of land.
“It’s the other continent I told you about,” I watched another image of the same high shores, towering mountains in the distance, and the tsunami waves crashing against the land.
