By using these, we can move our forces between the two worlds without any worry. At the same time, I planned to use the same method once coming back to get to another world.
If I ended up coming here, then I'd simply return back using the same way, crush the portal before finding another enemy portal to try.
It might seem a long task to do, but it wouldn't take more than one day to get it done.
As I got done with the first ring, I looked at the entire zone inside, and a greedy thought came to mind.
There were lots of fiends who fell here. Although they weren't like my last rich gain, they were still something.
So I took out more warriors and asked them to help others in collecting the gears. During the past hours, the few millions I left only covered a small part of the entire place.
Adding more warriors helped. And the main reason behind such delay was in the last devastating attack.
The bodies of these fiends got mixed with tons of rubbles and rocks, and with other dead bodies of the other two races as well.
So taking the gears out was still a hard task, and it proved to take much longer than usual.
"I should try to exert more control over my offensive ability," I muttered to myself before starting to join them and collect bones.
I ended up in less than one hour and my warriors still were working. I decided to leave them here, go out there and start helping others out.
The one who made me quite worried was none other than Sara. She wasn't the one to slack behind or lean to safe measures when moving out.
So I moved my chariot and tried to get near her current location.
The news coming from the frontline told lots about the current status of the enemy. And one word could describe that, chaos!
The enemy lines got broken already. If not for the already present defences, the enemy would have turned into a headless bunch of fools in front of my forces.
That was quite weird, as with the presence of the leader of them, nothing of this should have happened.
And yet reality proved that they were acting without anyone supervising them.
That meant either that leader got in the middle of the previous blast and got killed. And that was something I didn't buy.
Such a dude had many tricks to keep his life intact. If taking him down was this easily done, then it wouldn't be a problem dealing with him.
So this dude was absent, and that meant he felt his inability to contain me and my forces, and decided to ask for reinforcements.
These would take time to arrive. So it made more sense for him to leave behind a hard to crack defences to delay me as long as he could.
And yet the forces fighting mine were facing it easier than expected. And something told me this was all a trap!
This dude seemed to see through a point of weakness of mine… My shields couldn't cover up a large area.
So it seemed he aimed towards luring my forces away from the closest shields, and then he'd land over them using his deadly fire or trap them using the annoyingly clouds.
Either way, he'd manage to bring my forces lots of damage. In return for that, he'd also buy lots of time until the reinforcements would arrive.
The worst part was that I couldn't tell when or from where these reinforcements would take to arrive here.
"If so… Then it's better to keep most forces safe first…" I planned to stick around Sara and kill more fiends. However I got a more stressful mission to do.
As I decided to do that, I knew trying to cover up the entire track of the four armies was going to be futile. So instead I decided to go towards the furthest points they reached, and deploy my shields starting from there.
And I didn't miss to store these places with my staff. I wanted to make sure I'd be able to jump in and help if things went south or something.
When I reached the frontline of one army, I saw that the situation was indeed more chaotic than I already heard tales about.
Enemies were stationing inside the defences, using everything to fend off my forces. However they acted as if they were living in isolated islands, not moving in any cooperation, not even trying to help each other if things went south for a part of their forces.
This was the perfect example of one man for his own life. They worked as if they were all alone, not that this was their homeland and I was the one invading them.
Seeing such chaos made me grin evilly. It was perfect for my shields to work and store up damage during such times.
And so I started to spread out my shields, even went to far away places and left shields there. The enemy got either trapped, or scared by my shields and started to use everything they got to take it down from outside.
Seeing this made me smile. Do it, come and keep attacking my shields… Like this the shields would store lots of damage, and that would repent back at your forces coming to your aid in the future.
I kept moving around, scattering shields as if I was throwing seed on the ground. I kept doing this for long hours, while the enemy didn't show any sign of getting their mastermind back.
I knew that dude would get frustrated by seeing me do this. And so I waited to see his response. Yet after the passage of half a day, he didn't show any movement at all.
What was he waiting for? Or was he out of ideas?
For a reason, and after the passage of more than half a day in such a mess, I started to grow more suspicious about that dude's actions.
