According to what I told them about these worlds, they knew there were different cases for each world. There were worlds facing wars, others facing natural disasters, and each required a different way to handle the situation.
That meant each world should have a general suitable for it. Or else the end result wouldn't be that good, or even quite disastrous.
For example, if I left an all offensive general like Sara to handle a natural disaster, things would go south!
And if I used someone like Isac to solve a huge war crisis, then failure was the only result.
But if I replaced the two, then things would end up quite differently. Isac would better handle such natural disasters, while Sara could control any war no matter how bad it was.
"We'll have to wait and see," I paused before adding, "that's why I didn't ask for you to go over each zone and take over the armies there. This allocation will be left over for Lily and Legend to decide."
I trusted these two in making the right choices, especially when they got to know better about the generals here.
I only knew my friends, as for the new ones, I knew nothing about.
"How about the missing general seat?" Legend seemed to get jolted up when he heard his name, and asked this missed point from everyone's minds.
"I have few generals that we can use there," I didn't say I got tons of generals or else the two jerks would ask for these generals to replace them and each would ask to do what he wanted.
And this might even infect Sara, making her ask to come with me towards the scary and quite dangerous angelic world and replace her with a few of these generals.
"This…" and as I expected, just by saying I got a few generals, the jumper was about to ask about replacing him with one of them.
"I don't have enough to do what you want," I interrupted him before he'd alarm the other two about such a possibility, "and I don't have much trust in them anyway. So it's better to leave this bunch together to handle the vacant world seat."
"Tsk!" The jumper seemed to not totally believe my words, and even might have suspected that I got more generals than I said I got, but he couldn't say anything about this.
If I said I didn't get enough, then what could he do about that?
"Go and rest," I said, "think about new ways to use our forces and armies. And wait for the good news."
I watched them leave, checked on time and there were still a few hours left before the start of the grand opening.
And just when I thought I'd finally take a few hours of rest, to think about how to mix my current grand forces to pull new tricks and moves, I got some weird news all at once.
[Attention! There are five hours left before the opening of the world!]
[Attention! Per your request, the quest this time will be an all out gamble and war! You'll gain access to the twenty worlds and each world will have different time limit and mission requirements]
[Attention! Achieving more than seventy percent of the mission requirements in the allocated time will end up the quest with your victory]
Up till now, things were quite logical. I didn't find anything weird about any of these messages.
Each world got a different disaster lurking around to destroy it. And as I expected, each world would have a different time limit to do the task of saving it.
The time limit would end by the fall of that disaster, and the world coming to an end, before the time or space loop or lock would be activated to restart everything or lock people inside forever.
So the time limit was quite predictable. And the different mission requirements were also expected.
Hearing that I didn't need to complete the entire mission goals made me feel a bit relieved. At least I didn't need to get a full mark in this test, and my generals could mess up sometimes, failing to do a few tasks, and that wouldn't negatively impact the entire result of this quest.
However, what came next was indeed quite troublesome…
[Attention! The world of angels won't open right away]
What the f*ck…?! I looked at this message in disbelief, before other messages appeared that made me curse at first, freeze later on, and stand motionless for long minutes without knowing what to say or do.
[Attention! The gate of the world of angels changed! The controllers of this quest paid the required price and the portal to that world through your zone got blocked]
[Attention! The start of the world of angels quest will start in one month!]
[Attention! To get there, you'll need to find a portal on your own]
What the hell was that! How could I save a world without having access to it?
The first thing that popped in my mind was that the gate to that world was hidden inside one of the ten home bases of the enemy.
Or perhaps it was sealed somewhere else.
This was quite bad! If that was true, then I got only one month to find this gate, or else the entire quest would be lost!
Losing this quest wasn't like losing any other world quest. To me, taking down this quest and securing the angels became a personal issue.
The enemy placed tons of importance over this world for no reason I knew. And just seeing what they did to make sure I wouldn't get there was enough proof for their determination to keep the angels sealed.
The more the enemy wanted to seal them, the more I wanted to save them. But without a way to them, I wouldn't have a chance.
What should I do? Even if I jumped over to the enemy home bases, trying to scan all these worlds in one month, find that portal, secure it and gain access towards that world would be quite impossible even for me.
