941 Leaving Them Behind To Learn
In a flash, four big chariots appeared next to mine. Compared to my chariot, they looked small, like the baby version of my girl.
They were the chariots I gave to my leaders and generals. These four had to lead everyone on a vast continent.
I got that they would be dispersed over a large stretch of land there, either working or testing their creations.
So it was feasible for them to have their own chariots, to help them lead and organise such mess.
“Lord… Thanks a lot!” Wolf’s eyes shone brightly while the others nodded in gratitude.
“By the way,” I shifted my eyes towards Moore, “the truck you gave me worked fine with my ores,” I took out another purple ore before adding, “the range increased to cover over one hundred miles, and the area of damage was close to one mile radius. I couldn’t assess it perfectly, and also this test ended up ruining the truck.”
“Oh… That’s…” the faces of these four changed when they heard my words.
“Can I check this ore, lord?” old Gan couldn’t help but ask, while stretching his hand towards my purple ore.
And as he got it, his face kept changing, showing fear, admiration, and shock.
“Lord… This… This is a very dangerous type of ore, and of a very high grade as well. May I ask how lord got it?”
After a few minutes of his stirred up emotions, he managed to control himself and finally asked me about his doubts.
“Hahahaha! It’s abundant in the place we are going to,” I laughed when I watched his reaction, “just don’t hold back at anything. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure to supply.”
“This…” old Gan’s face told me what he was holding might be considered like a treasure in the vast universe.
Yet for me, it was like a little rock on the ground! I wasn’t showing off, I really looked at it in that way indeed.
“Go on your chariots and follow me,” I pointed to the four chariots and the four moved to board theirs.
And once they did, I opened a portal and led everyone through.
“This…”
“Damn!”
“What the heck…?!!!”
“How can this be?!!”
As they arrived, many exclamations of shock and surprise came from all of them. I moved my eyes around, watching in satisfaction their response.
We arrived at just the perfect moment! There was just a new monster outbreak coming at my forces at the far distance.
“Come,” I knew they just got a far away glimpse. After all, we arrived just at the cleared site of that more fierce explosion, “let’s take a closer look.”
As I led them forward, they started to grow quieter. At this moment, they all realised how bad war was in this world.
Their earlier assumptions about how their weapons should work didn’t apply here. They got how terribly they judged this task before.
“I’ll leave you here for a few days,” I left them over one mountain side, just overseeing a great part of the shore, “don’t step forward. Just watch and learn.”
This was the whole point from bringing them here. They had to see by themselves how bad it was at any war.
And this… This wasn’t even close to a real war! It was just a training ground for my troops. And training was always linear and easier than any true battle.
As I left them there, I left a message for Lily informing her about their presence. I knew how crazy scientists were, and it would be bad if they decided to take a much closer look.
This situation was quite hectic, and most of my forces were already entangled with monsters. Not to mention many places would witness monsters breaking through the defensive lines, causing havoc far behind.
They had to stay safe, and I hoped they’d be smart as they should be and know how to keep themselves alive.
[I want my damn continents! My forces are crowded over each other and doing nothing but harm themselves!]
[I’m working on that right now] I opened the map and checked. Just south and east to that continent I selected for my development team, three continents lay there.
One was huge, even bigger than the central continent I first inhabited here. As for the other two, one was intermediate in size and the other one was smaller.
Yet the three formed a triangular shape on the big map. They looked as if they were aligned together to form a single unit, a bigger continent or something.
I got the impression that these continents had many archipelagos in between each other, with long river-like traits.
[When will that happen?]
[Before the next monster outbreak] I examined the map again. These three continents were located close to the research department one, but they were separated by a wide sea there.
I believed it would take three up to four days of travel from that northern continent to the group of three in the south.
Yet it took me six days! And by the end of the six day as well.
[The monster outbreak is coming!] Just as I was almost there, Lily sent this message over.
[I’m almost there]
[Liar!]
[I’m not! I just need half a day most!]
[I need my two damn continents!]
[Chill out girl! I’m giving you three and not two this time]
[For real? Cool!] in a moment, her attitude changed, [How about monster dens?]
[Working on it]
[You know that having a continent without any monsters won’t do, right?]
[I said I’m working on it!]
[Cool!]
I closed the chat while feeling that my close old friends were getting a bit cocky when dealing with me out late.
Sigh! Was I treating them soft or what?
It took me as I expected, half a day exactly. And when I arrived there, I was met with exactly what I expected.
Tons of different sized islands welcomed me tens of miles away from the mainland behind. They moved deeper, expanding through the long trait between the two continents up front.
Two were in the north and one was in the south, this was how this place was arranged.
