This time I didn't need to wait cluelessly about how to activate it. I shouted when it was done, and the magical worlds opened the portal.
As the first batch of my brave fighters entered the world, I saw a scene similar to Earth. Plain fields appeared all over the place, and there were few scattered towns and cities.
"Zombies!" but amidst all these towns and cities, I found a grand number of zombies. They appeared outside the towns and cities, encircling them as if they were protecting some sort of a treasure.
"Zombies have dens out there... What luck!" it went without saying that these towns and cities were already conquered and controlled by zombies.
Chaos brought out by zombies weren't an exclusive thing for my Earth. The plague of zombies hit that world hard it seemed, and now many towns and cities were turned into dens.
"Do they need more reinforcements?" Lily asked without a speck of worry. We were dealing with zombies for a long time already. And we got tons of fighters waiting on the side.
"Not now," I didn't hurry to send out any more armies. Even if the world out there looked bad, there were still a few cities and towns in the distance which hadn't been controlled yet.
The controlled cities and towns still had their five portals high in the sky. But they looked a bit dim. I didn't know if by conquering the dens these portals would function again or what.
"Send my order, groups of zombie races will be tasked to go there and free these dens."
"Can they do that?!" Lily and Isac spoke at the same time, and the two weren't the only ones showing such shock.
I already gave out clues and hints about the possibility of such a thing. But I haven't used anything like that yet in our world here.
So none seemed to trust or believe in this. They were just like me, sceptical about this weird hypothesis
I got my reasons to not use this way here. The dens that were completed were all high grade ones. Unlike here, the dens appearing in the other world seemed to be all low grade.
They were normal dens, the kind that Loran promised to work on with utter confidence.
"Just send the word to Loran," I didn't explain much, "he knows what to do. Tell him these dens are all low level ones, and there are more than fifty out there. And this is just the start."
"Ok," Lily didn't have much trust in this tactic, just like me. But I got a guinea pig at last to experiment upon.
The magical solution provided by Loran wasn't just useful in my world. Its biggest benefit was out there. When facing such a dire situation, using these zombie race methods to clear the dens would provide great aid for my expedition armies.
It was like this, I wanted to conquer the worlds out there but I lacked foundation. Zombies already struck hard in these worlds and gained strong footholds there. If we could flip the switch and turn all these places ruled by zombies into ours, then we would have nothing to worry about.
All the zombie land would turn into our land eventually, and without losing too much. Besides, this plan would also grant us many portals linked to here. And that would allow me to send out many elites, even myself included, without the worry of not returning back.
In a few minutes, I saw tens of thousands of zombie race elites racing towards the portal. They seemed excited, as if they found honour in doing such a task.
I watched them without saying anything. And as they started entering the other world, Loran also came.
"Lord, it's time to see for yourself the truth I told you about," he said these words and then remained silent. He couldn't watch what was going on at the other end like me, but he looked confident and worry free.
It was like he got zero doubt about the success of his plan. And I hoped his confidence wouldn't be groundless or overestimated.
Once there, I saw the zombie race got divided into many teams. I thought they sent over all these elites to make sure they would control the dens fast and without any room for error.
But when I saw all of them divided into groups of one hundred each, I knew they were playing according to the rules they announced before.
Loran was this confident. I gave him a deep glance before turning my attention again towards what was happening in the other world.
After the initial wave of armies appeared, they fanned out and each started hitting against a large group of zombies.
It was the first time for me to see the real zombie den. The zombies changed from being reckless and mindless into something close to being a territorial species.
As my armies appeared, the zombies didn't venture outward and meet them. Instead their numbers kept increasing while showing signs of their intention to defend the dens.
This was a weird sight to see to be honest. And it gave me a little explanation about the reason for the turtle zombie underwater den and why the zombies coming out from it didn't move in large numbers yet.
It seemed they were waiting for something, like a benchmark goal of numbers or increase in their strength or something like that. That meant the scary zombies at the southern and northern waters weren't going to attack anytime soon.
But the moment they would, things would look really ugly.
"I need to fortify these regions a bit more," I reached this conclusion.
Amidst my wait for the zombie race elites to join the fray, the fight over the dens started already. Once my fighters got close to the towns and cities controlled by the zombies, the zombies couldn't take it anymore and started running at them.
