[Right away!]
The next moment, a huge scroll appeared, one that was enough to exceed ten metres in length. It was folded, sealed with a red tape, and looked as if it was a gigantic version of old times secret messages.
"Wow! You did bring me something huge this time!" I grabbed it, and felt how heavy it was, "what did you make it from? Lead?"
[Stop fooling around and start studying it! It's very huge!]
He wasn't lying. I took this scroll down at the ground and unsealed it. The entire scroll opened to cover more than one hundred metres! And there I found a gigantic map with tiny drawings, a shitload of places that got no names.
It was filled with tiny lines and dots, small looking mountain series, oceans, lakes, and even oceans and continents. It got everything, and from a single look, I knew how massive this new world was.
"Damn! Over five hundred continents?!!!"
"Is this… For real?!!!"
"These aren't continents! Can't be! They must be big islands, yes, they are big islands!"
"Shut up!" I shouted at everyone, "this is the map of our new world, and these are all continents not islands! What do you get in your mind? Jelly or something?"
I rolled my eyes, not accepting their cheap sense of humour at such a critical time.
Just from looking over this map, I realised how bad my current situation was. I always took the new world to be formed of a single and colossal continent. Don't ask me why, but that was what I felt all this time.
But seeing all these continents, over five hundred of them, made me realise taking over this world was going to be a hellishly long adventure.
I always felt I was ready to face anything, but this… This… This made all my forces and preparations pale in front of it.
"We need more forces," Isac stepped up, looked at this map and said exactly what I had in mind right now.
"We need… A miracle!" and that jerk tried to look cool in front of his girl, said something foolish like this.
"Alright then," I rubbed my hands, turned to everyone before adding, "copy this map, make as many copies as you can, and start devising plans."
"But…"
"Leave the issue of forces over to me," I rolled my eyes towards Sara, "since when did you ever get worried about the lack of forces? Huh?"
I wasn't bluffing. Since they all met me, and I got nothing more than forces to give them, "leave the forces to me, and you have to handle the general plan to conquer this world."
"How long do we have?" Lily acted practical, the same old Lily I always admired and liked.
"I'll give you… Four days… No, one week," if this was going to take such a long time to conquer, then there was no point in trying to overdo or rush things here.
It was better to first stabilise the situation, secure more forces, train them, and also negate the impending threat of these bombs.
When this merger started, my biggest worries were these bombs. But after seeing how immensely huge this world was, I knew even if I let the enemy do it, detonate all the bombs together, they wouldn't be able to crush more than half of this world.
But that didn't mean I'd let them do it. I first would keep them busy, then look for the bombs second.
As for the forces, it was already a piece of cake.
[Dude, you don't need me to tell you about what I want, right?] I didn't go towards the portals after leaving the general meeting. I went towards one side, away from the entire mess in the central zone.
I left the generals to do what they had to do. Coming up with a plan wasn't an easy thing. First we lacked lots of intel about the overall situation over these continents.
We might have gained a map, but we still didn't know where our forces and the enemies' were. And that would take lots of time and effort to decide.
I left them to handle such a headache, entrusting this task over to them, and focused on solving the problem of warriors lacking.
[I know, I know, what can you do without me? Huh? Admit it! I'm the most capable friend and ally to you, hahahaha!]
[Sure, but as this is the last battle, I want as much as you can get, ok?]
I let Silverling enjoy his moment without saying anything to interrupt him. He indeed was one if not the most and only capable ally I got so far.
The other two allies I got were killed. These jerks! Why the heck did they go to such an extent and kill them? They could have locked up Fang and Wryly. Only if these two threatened a rebellion, then this decision was quite weird.
I planned to exert revenge over those who killed my two old friends and allies, and planned to devastate all the races who betrayed me.
The reason behind all this was quite obvious, this was all the Hescos' doing. I thought after we worked together here in this world, they'd change their hostility slightly, change it to be neutral at least.
But in front of the gains and benefits of getting the trapped races here in addition to the new world, they decided to be my enemies.
Screw them! I'd not flinch from facing them head on! What did I have to lose? Nothing!
[It's going to be the same, right?]
[Sure] I knew he was asking about the way to pay back for all his goods.
[Then… Can I propose a change this time?]
[You want the new breed of bones I got?] I knew he and others were watching, and they noticed my dark realm bones, the deadly fire they released, and the immense amount of power inside them that was on a whole new level than the normal bones.
[Sure, we can discuss anything about these]
[Then… One of these bones for a million]
