[Tsk! What a sense of humour fate has! In the past you spoke with me about the problem of the land size of what we own and how we are struggling to have enough space for our forces and races. And now? We got a seemingly endless vast world, empty and new one, one that can swallow all of our forces and races and not even feel the pressure]
[Hahahaha! It's funny when you say it this way, hahahaha!] I recalled that time. It was when I came from the jumpers' world, and felt the pressure and the problem of having lots of people and forces with not enough space to accommodate them.
And like she said, we now have an empty world, one that could take in one hundred times the size of my entire forces and people, and not even get filled by one percent!
It was indeed ironic and hilarious!
[That's indeed funny] I smiled, bitterly smiled, [I'm leaving this task over for you. Don't forget to send the selected generals and leaders fast, also enough people to organise the movement of the forces from the other side without endangering anything]
[How about this… If the forces out there grew to such scale, why won't we also recruit new forces? Our people there must have grown to a terrifying number]
[That's true, they grew to a very huge scale] I nodded, [But that's not going to work! We need to just accept what's coming from outside, and let our people grow like usual]
[Then… Won't we add a new population? Will we accept all the incoming into the army?]
[No, don't do that!] I thought about her suggestion for a few seconds before rejecting it with firmness, [We need to keep those who don't want to fight joining our citizens. After all, we got a hellish vast new world to fill]
[Sure, I got your point]
If we accepted all in the army, then we'd solve the current problem of lacking enough troops to win this war. But in the long run, we'd lose much more than that.
It wasn't just the problem of having people and normal citizens. I could keep this trade going with Silverlining for decades if I wanted to.
The issue lies in the advantage and bonus effect the Second Earth world had for the people living there.
The new generations coming up were going to be much stronger and a lot better than their parents. And they didn't need more than one year to grow up to the adult stage.
Of course that could happen at any time, but the most crucial time of my kingdom wouldn't be right now, but at the early stages after ruling over this world here.
If we lacked enough talents, enough to build not only a kingdom but a mighty force in the universe from the start, then we'd have to waste long years to do so.
And these years would be a setback for my kingdom. It might not look that important, but something told me that starting out big and with enough talents to push the wheel forward pretty fast was much better than just wasting five or even ten years in waiting for the talents I'd need.
So it was better to let those who got tired of fighting to live peacefully, mate, and bring forth new kids with higher talents and strength to serve my kingdom.
[By the way, how is the work on the main strategy going?]
[Hmm… I can't say we got much so far… But we sent lots of people to various places, trying to find any big monuments or places that can be spotted on the map]
[Starting with recognising which continents are on the map is the right thing to do] they did exactly the same as I thought about, [Try first to identify the places where the portals lead towards. Then starting from there, you'll identify other continents quite easily]
[We are doing that. And currently we already identified ten percent of the entire portals we got]
[Nice! At this rate, you can get this done in few days]
[I hope so. However…]
[The enemies won't let you do this without interfering, right?] I sighed when I realised that others were watching my talk and doings with the system higher up and my generals, [Just focus on planning the strategy first. Once this is done, and by the time you'll do it, we are going to have enough forces ready to move out. And starting from this point, it will be all out crushing victories, one after another, for us]
[I know, but many want to go out there and fight. You know, people like Sara and Isabella hate strategy]
[I see…] I forgot that not all of my generals are the same, [Then do it this way. Let those offensive and bloodthirsty dudes go out there and fight. Use the newly arrived forces, reform new armies, and send them to the frontline. As for those with brilliant minds and focus on strategy, let them by your side for now]
[Got it]
I closed the chat with her, taking a deep breath while watching the new sun here shining brightly over this clear and amazing world.
"You are going to be mine, baby, I promise you this," I took such a vow, before heading back towards the Second Earth world again.
There I got to handle one last task, which was to give orders for those here to start mobilising towards the new world.
It wasn't that hard to do that. Using the portals, my staff, my horn, things were quite easy to handle. I made sure to inform these out there to mobilise just eighty percent of their population in the upcoming five days.
During this time, I was sure Silverlining batches arriving here would be enough to replace part of those moving out, helping in stopping the monsters from endangering the safe settlements in the mainland.
Then I went towards the pocket world, heading directly towards a certain place there.
