Everything didn't depend on me right now, but on Lily and her forces. I'd not care that much about facing tons of enemies for years, but if the backyard got burnt down, and my forces failed to secure many places or even the worst, got my two safe bases attacked, then I had to stop all this and return back to save them.
I didn't want to see this happening, and hoped they would prove themselves more worthy and capable. If anything would happen to cause me and my forces trouble, then the source of it wouldn't be the fiends alone, but the Hescos as well.
This race… It wasn't the first and top race in the universe for nothing. And it seemed as the fiends got their time to prepare for this grand war, the Hescos also did the same.
I hoped things wouldn't end up pretty much bad out there. And the new races saved would help to make a difference.
"If my luck was great and I ended up meeting the god race early on, then there is no need to worry about my backyard," this race was the most important piece in my grand victory.
If I met them up early on, then they could bless lots of my forces and give them lots of bonuses and gear. At the same time, they'd also grow in strength, and be a formidable force on my side.
If I ended up meeting them quite late, then things would be challenging. Anyway, that was in the hands of fate. I tried to speak back to that dude of the higher up, offered to make a deal for him to tell me where the god race was, but he never responded at all.
I even promised to give him my cube for more years, and yet he kept his silence.
"Those damn folks… They must have moved fast to stop him from helping me…" there was no more explanation for this but the intervention of the Hescos.
Even with the Toranks by my side, the Hescos would still have the ability to silence that dude and stop him from helping me anymore.
In fact, he already helped me a lot, giving me lots of support for the old and new maps. The old map might not be that much of help in their eyes.
They didn't move before to stop him after he did that. And that told me many races, at the least the Hescos, got such maps like me.
But the new one was something that they didn't get. Or perhaps they also got, but thanks to my newly invented portals, it'd turn into a deadly weapon in my hands.
The previous deal was like giving snakes wings to soar in the air and become dragons! So they had to act, prevent this dude from striking more deals with me, making my odds in winning this war a bit higher.
And that meant the Hescos already got plans of their own, ones that made them feel no risk before when I got the general map.
But they got threatened with the new map and my newly invented portals. And that meant one of these or both of them was quite risky and threatening to their plans and preparations.
Was it my portals? Or was it the new map? But the new map only led towards the bubbles holding races. Don't tell me there was a race out there who could put their plans into ruins?
Or perhaps there was something different at the enemy continents, some sort of a weapon there, one that could ruin their preparations and make them lose the war?
I couldn't tell, and I didn't care. No matter what it was, I was going to have it, find these Hescos, and crush them to death.
[Keep an eye over the Hescos, inform me all the time about their movements and plans] I didn't want to leave anything out for luck regarding such annoyingly strong and capable race, [And make sure to not underestimate them]
[I would never take the first and strongest race in the universe lightly]
[Good girl!] Lily was indeed the most capable general and friend I got. Comparing her with the likes of jerks, the likes of the jumper and spearhead, made her shine!
I closed the chat with her and turned towards the empty piece of land, the valley in between mountains, in front of me. It was time to start invading the enemy continents.
As I got everything prepared, I selected the centre of one cluster that I drew before. I took a ball out, and started to activate it using the same method as before.
I used red grade dark realm bones to make sure the activation time wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. And when the portal got activated, I didn't hesitate to pass through it.
I was already prepared, holding my board in one hand, holding my pillar in the other. And my inventory page was already opened, ready for me to call out any amount of warriors and Kings I might need.
But the moment I appeared there, I spotted something quite interesting.
"The Hescos… Tsk! They are indeed the strongest race in the universe for a reason!" in front of my eyes wasn't the endless stretch of enemy forces like I expected. Instead, there were lots of forces fighting against others, and a grand war extended in front of me.
The battles spanned everywhere, extending towards the horizon line in every direction. I couldn't miss the sight of those suited Hescos fighting the fiends and their forces in the air and on the ground, in such a brutal battle.
I didn't need to ask, didn't need even to think to know what was going on here. This was their plan then. They got the maps, just like me. And it seemed they got them a long time ago.
Don't tell me they also paid a price to make their forces arrive near the entrapped locations of the races here.
