"Are they insane!" I roared, taking a few minutes to calm down slowly.
"They must have made a deal with the Hescos," she paused, "and right now, after the merge, this big war got just bigger, with more enemies added to our list, and our forces are getting slaughtered everywhere."
I looked at her eyes, then around.
"They are forces that I managed to recall from other battlefields," she explained when she noticed my gaze, "we managed to stabilise many places thanks to your help. But…"
"Just let everyone hang on for a few more days," I said in a calm tone, one that was enough to make anyone hearing it shudder in deep fear.
"And?"
"And then I'll personally come and lead everyone towards victory."
"This… But how about the other races? The ones entrapped out there?"
"I'm just doing something," I paused when I recalled something, "tell that jerk that he has to either get away from any portal location as far as possible, or go back here."
"But…"
"Tell him that if he didn't do as I said, then don't blame me for ending up losing his life," I coldly said, "there isn't a way out from what I'm going to release over these damn fiends. And once I'm done, in a few more days, I'll come back here, take the lead on everything, and crush everyone, all of them will die!"
"O… Ok…"
"Where is everyone?" I looked around, and yet again I couldn't find anyone else but her.
"Well… We got lots of our forces from the merge as you know, however…"
"However… What?"
"We lost lots of our generals already, and the places where our people arrived at are really far from any nearby portals. Not to mention that the portals here aren't linked by any portals out there. So…"
"I got it," I waved my arm, interrupting what she wanted to say. I got what happened here. My kingdom and the worlds where my forces appeared were all now scattered over a huge stretch of land, without any means to get the two sides connected together.
We got hellish lots of forces from Earth and other worlds, but these weren't connected to the forces or places here.
The portal system back there wasn't connected to the portal network here. And so she had to send out her capable generals at such stressful moments to relieve the pressure and fill in the gaps of the lost generals.
As for why these generals got lost, I could think of many reasons that she already told me about.
So my forces here were attacked by the enemies from all fronts. While the forces coming from Earth and other worlds were getting slaughtered by the different races.
"I'm going to solve this mess," but who said I didn't have a way to solve any of that? I simply took out my staff, selected an old bookmark that led before to the capital of my kingdom, "Wait here, I'm going to connect these places with here."
"This…"
Before she'd say anything, I already activated the staff and vanished through the portal.
Once I appeared at the other end, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholic.
This was my capital, and it still stood tall and firm with all the defences it got. There wasn't a single enemy spotted near or far, and the entire place was filled with tons of my forces.
Things weren't that great indeed and that appeared in the current chaos happening here. People were running everywhere, shouting all the time, and many forces were coming from the portals in the capital, going towards the horizon to support our forces fighting out there.
It looked as if the armies would appear out of nowhere, like they came from nothing and went towards the horizon without showing an end.
"It's time to show those damn fiends, those races, what's the true might of me, of my humans, of my kingdom…"
I instantly opened the market, and bought tens of thousands of portal devices. To solve this problem, a new portal system must be established.
If the enemy thought they'd force my back against the wall by doing this to my kingdom, to my lands, then they just committed a grave mistake.
My kingdom didn't appear out of nowhere, I built it myself. Every single brick it got was laid down there by my hands, each inch of land I got was gained by my effort and sweat.
I visited every inch in my kingdom, visited every single land here, fought till my arms grew numb, and I saved all the places in my staff.
Trying to repeat their scheme in the new world back at me? Humph! You just made the biggest mistake since this war ever started!
I didn't stay there for more than a few minutes, to finalise the deals I just bought. And once I got my portals, I went towards the portal area, and left one thousand of one part of the portals there.
Then I used my staff, and started jumping all over the place, arriving at new places, all the places I conquered before.
I went to New York, New Jersey, or what was left of them. I went to Verginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and even went towards the lands at the east, the continent I gained from the Hectors and lost before.
I visited the north, east, south, and west. I even went towards the lands that I once gave to the treacherous Selvators.
I didn't stop and kept jumping, visiting every single location I ever sat foot at and saved since I ever came back from the future. It took roughly an hour, jumping over tons of places, leaving a hellish lot of portals everywhere.
Even the places that were conquered by zombies, monsters, and my enemies got these portals.
I didn't plan to save anyone from this. I'd regain control over my kingdom by force, nothing else.
