"I'm ready," and finally I returned back to ground zero, where Lily stood in her place, waiting for my arrival, "where do you want the portals?"
"There!" she already guessed what I did, and so she simply pointed towards an empty zone that she already evacuated the forces from.
"Cool," I went there, started to leave the portals on the ground, establishing tens of thousands of grand portals everywhere.
"Are these all linked to the kingdom?" she came by my side and asked in doubt.
"Of course," I nodded before laying the last portal down, "but not all the regions are under our control."
"This…"
"Just a little change of plans," I paused, took out my staff again as I added, "I'm going to take two more days to secure these regions. During which, go and bring all the forces here, send them all over the world, and let these fiends and damn traitors pay."
"Are you sure?" she looked at me in doubt, "we already failed before to claim many parts there. And now our forces are getting pressured from all corners."
"Since when did I ever say something and not do it?" I laughed, before finally selecting one location and a portal popped out of thin air next, "just do your task, and leave the big things over to me."
"Good luck."
"To you too," I said this while passing through the portal. I knew we tried before and failed.
Lily was smart enough to get the hidden meanings behind my words. I linked everywhere we conquered and controlled before, including the Hectors continent, including the lands of the Selvators, the lands of us that got taken already by many races.
We tried, but failed to reclaim a single land we lost before on the hands of these zombies. And now the zombies were the least of our worries, as we got tons of other races and many strong enemies coming at our lands.
But that was a past story, a bedtime story for last night. As for tonight, the story would be much different.
I got hellish lots of forces since coming here at the golden quest. If I claimed before I had lots of strength thanks to my hard work and preparations, right now I could say I got much more than that.
I got scary forces by my side. And the beautiful thing in all this was that my little cube was going to work out there.
The cube got to stop working at the lands of the fiends. They did something there to make sure my hands would be tied.
But out there, in my kingdom… It was a different story. It was my home, and there I was the king.
I already saved in my mind the places where the enemies ruled there. But this… This was no more.
*Fwoosh!*
"Hey b*tches, I left for little time to come back and see that monkeys are jumping all over my backyard trees… Tsk! I'm disappointed in all of you."
The moment I arrived, I announced my presence with a loud shout. I even used my horn to grab their attention.
"It's…"
"Is this the human Hye?"
"Is he that damn bastard?"
"He… He isn't a human!"
"No, I once saw him in the middle of a battle… It's indeed him!"
"Kill him!"
"Stop talking and kill him!"
Just as I said hi, they all came at me dancing and running, seemingly so damn hyped by seeing me.
"Come inside then!" I took out my cube, threw tons of bones on the ground like sky raining down bones. The sudden appearance of this many bones startled many, but a lot of them still tried to hit me.
I saw lots of flashes of lights coming at me. I paused for a moment there, missed the presence of my beloved chariot and its awesome shield.
"B*tches! I know you aren't the ones who did this to my baby, but you have to blame your bad luck in being here. I will vent all of this on you, and will show you how foolish it was to come and take a bite at my kingdom! Get inside!"
I activated the cube, sucked dry all the active forces in tens of thousands of miles radius.
After the merge, the initially small area that I ruled was now enlarged by many folds, tens of folds, or even more than that.
So despite using the cube over such a huge area, I was sure it didn't even cover a lot in my old kingdom territory. In fact, I even doubted that the ones taken inside would come from another territory thrown in the middle of all this messy new world.
"Come out!" I took them in, forced them to sign a loyalty contract by the power of the cube, then took them out again, "strengthen these lands, and go out there and kill any enemy of mine."
I used the horn that I already had in my hand and gave them such instructions before selecting another bookmark and vanished through the portal appearing next.
They had no other option but to follow my orders, or else they'd die by the power of the system.
I kept jumping in between these zones, even taking a shitload of zombies and forcing them to sign a loyalty contract.
I didn't know if this was going to work or not, but eventually it worked. Many of the zombies followed my words, but others didn't. And that ended up for the entire zombies to start killing among themselves, starting a hellish brutal massacre between themselves.
I didn't care about any of that, and just took note of these places before jumping to others.
I planned to finish my current tour, before returning back here and settle these hot zones next.
I kept jumping over, taking everything I met in my path inside my cube and turned all of them into my working slaves. I saw a sort of revenge in all this, and I couldn't even bring myself to feel any sympathy towards any of them.
