"What about the time of war? Who is going to invade us?" Lily jumped over the honeymoon period and asked about the impending war crisis.
"I don't know who is going to come at us," I partially lied. Despite knowing the identity of the enemy leading such attacks, I still didn't know what forces and races they'd use to crush us.
"Then..."
"Trust in yourselves more than that," I seriously said, "no matter who will come, we will crush them and prevail!"
Everyone kept his silence while giving me a matching look like the one over my face.
"So we are going to defend for an entire year?" Sara suddenly spoke up. And I got why she was this upset from such a situation.
"It's not necessary to be an all out defence," I paused, without exposing much about what I expected, "in the middle of this, you'll have many chances to strike back."
"For real? That's cool!" her upset vanished and instead she became quite excited and pumped up.
I wasn't just making up things for her to feel better. In fact I was telling her the truth, or what I expected to happen.
After all, the forces coming to invade us must come from a place or a world, right? If I guessed things right, then a huge amount of portals would pop up in our zones, all would be connected both ways.
That meant the enemy could send forces to invade us, and we also had the ability to go over their worlds and invade them.
Of course to do such a thing, a brutal spree of killing and fighting must first happen. And such a situation wouldn't work on all these portals without doubt.
If the enemy had tons of such forces on his side as I guessed, then trying to get access to these portals would be quite hard.
The chances of doing so would be very low. Besides the ones sent over there wouldn't have lots of support.
I'd expect the enemy to try and close our access to these portals. So the ones going there should be considered as kamikaze units. And I planned to send Sara to one of those worlds.
I wasn't wearing anything over her life. She was more than capable of keeping herself alive. Besides, I planned to keep strengthening my warriors during this one month period.
Before that month would be over, I'd start spreading tons of warrior tokens for everyone in my team, especially people like Legend and Sara.
These two were suited to act as my thrown out arrow towards the enemy's heart. And even if the line of support got broken at some point, they wouldn't get strangled out there.
Not to mention they'd start linking these worlds with my place here using the teleportation devices.
Of course there was a limit to the range of using these devices, but that wouldn't greatly impact my plan. I was quite sure these worlds that belonged to the enemy were all close by, just like the twenty sealed worlds we were going to free.
Or else my portal devices wouldn't have worked perfectly fine like this!
"Let's start discussing what to do then," I urged everyone to move while I stood in my place motionless. My part according to the following round of discussions was to get out everything they needed.
Would it be resources, materials, gears, stat crystals, weapons, up to warriors, I was responsible for all of this.
In brief, I worked as their logistic general, while Isac took charge as the construction grand general.
Others took missions assigned by Isac. As for the general designs of these defensive zones, I left it for Isac to handle for now.
I already informed her about the expected defensive blueprints. And she said she'd use them when they'd arrive, integrating them in her way with the designs she was already using.
We took roughly three hours to discuss such things. Isac was ready with her defensive designs even before coming here.
So she simply took out her blueprints, gave them to everyone while taking most of the time explaining things over to them.
As for myself, I started taking out the warriors from my inventory. The first type of warriors I took out were the common folks who joined this campaign using my den of warriors.
Their number was around ten million, but they were the most efficient and experienced in building tasks.
So Isac made sure to equally distribute these over the twenty zones, while stressing over the importance of making them leaders over other warriors.
It might seem crazy, but she got a point here. I didn't speak to object, and everyone got her point after rounds of discussions.
`There is still one problem we need to solve,'' as I left them to speak and discuss, and went to one remote place to take out the warriors and materials, Isac came to me as she said that.
"There is one world without a general, right?" I already guessed her problem a long time ago, "Lucas here will serve as a replacement for that missing spot."
Lucas, who was standing next to me, stepped forward and slightly bowed.
"I heard all of your words, and knows what to do," he simply said, and Isac moved her eyes between him and me in question and clear doubt.
"He is considered the most capable warrior I have," I paused before adding, "besides, he is already a general ranked warrior. So he is best suited to such a task."
"I hope you know what you are doing," Isac was left behind back at my capital for long time, long enough for her to forget about how deadly and efficient my soulers were.
But I also understood why she was worried. Someone might be a genius in fighting, but sucked at leading others to do simple stuff like building and such.
However I had absolute trust in Lucas. In fact the one who worried me the most wasn't him, but that big jerk, the jumper.
