"I'll spread the word, letting my people help yours in taking down the enemy," he suddenly said, not caring about my weird request, taking my words as a funny joke or something.
He was smart enough to guess what I wanted to do here. I wanted to cut down this time by a lot, and he felt I was just having a childish wish.
He didn't know that I got something up my sleeve, my board! It had the ability to control time around me, make it run faster or slow it down. And that was my simple answer to what he just said.
"Thanks for that," I knew this was going to save tons of trouble for my side, and also help me take out tons of forces without any worry, "can you ask your people to send any free and not needed fortress to come here? I'm going to leave behind tons of forces and leave them here on the dark planet and moons."
"Got it," he kept nodding as I spoke, and I didn't know if he was going to fulfil his promise or not.
I hoped he would. After all, I wanted to take all the warriors I got, but the limited number of fortresses was something that held my hands behind my back.
As we agreed on that, I took almost half a day's time to spread out tons of force over the cool surface of all the dark planets and moons.
These bodies were indeed colossal! I felt like I covered up close to one hundred the size of Earth, or even more!
That wasn't something small! And even if I got to just cover close to half of each planet and moon surface, it was still added up to be a huge surface.
And by the time I finished doing my task, I was gladly surprised to see tons of fortresses flying in the space close to the dark planet and moons.
"They came!" I turned to Real, and he simply nodded without saying a single word. This dude was quite capable, and it seemed he wasn't joking when he said he'd bring enough fortresses to carry all my warriors after seeing the huge number of forces I took out.
"Let them land and carry my forces," I said, "stay here and keep an eye over this process. Take this for your personal usage."
I waved my hand, and the next moment I got out a chariot, one like the ones used by my generals.
? "This..."
"It's a must to have," I patted on his shoulder, "it's a sign that you are one of my entrusted and most capable generals."
"..."
This dude deserves to get such kind of treatment indeed. "Thanks for your generosity, I did nothing but help you to help my people back."
"And as I told you before, I'm here to repay a debt. So your actions are highly treasured by me. And this is something you deserve to have. Come on, don't be shy, it's yours now."
"Thanks," he slightly bowed, and I nodded back to such a formal salute.
As I watched him moving back to the surface of the planet and moons, I knew I got to work fast and start learning this weird and funny dance.
The first thing I did was to take my board out, lots of bones, and started infusing energy into it. The diagonal squares of it started to all shine at the same time, activating the time accelerating ability of this board.
I was already tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest moon. There were the fewest number of fortresses, and I selected a spot where I'd not block the path of anyone.
That dude believed I'd take a month or more to learn and control the basic level of their ability. However he never knew I got such a card up my sleeve.
I accelerated time to max, didn't give any care about any bone consumption or anything. After charging the board enough, and accelerated the time by one hundred fold, I started to try and execute the dancing moves he showed me.
Before doing all this, I made sure to leave behind a group of scary looking elite troops I selected carefully from those trapped inside my cube and stored inside my inventory.
I took out Avengers, soulers, Reapers, fiends, Exomachines, and even high zombies. I took enough to protect me for a long time, making sure nothing would stop or interrupt me.
I highly doubted the enemy would dare to come this close to me with all these forces stationed here. But I had to be one hundred percent sure of this. Or else, I might get stopped at a critical moment of something.
And then I started to repeat the dancing moves Real showed to me before.
They were all quite weird! And at first I didn't get to do them quite correctly.
I was still feeling a bit weird and quite embarrassed at first, then things started to roll in, being quite natural, before I started to feel the weird feeling again.
It felt like I got called by something, haunted by some kind of power, and ended up not feeling myself.
At my early attempts, I tried to grasp this feeling a bit more, ending up messing everything up. The moment my moves halted or got interrupted or messed up, that feeling was gone!
So after trying and failing for many times, I decided to start ignoring trying to understand this feeling, and instead I let myself drown with it.
And with such a decision, everything started to change!
The feeling that looked like a faraway dream, one that would fly and puff into thin air the moment I tried to grasp or come closer to it, started to change the moment I ignored my desire to get to know it better.
It felt like a woman, one that would act unreachable and hard to get when one tried to get closer to her.
