After five more days, I already finished taking out all of my warriors. It was the first time I took everything I got, and I didn't get how scary the amount of tokens I got until this moment.
When I opened the map, I saw a grand green spot that was surrounding my place. Before this, the map was filled entirely with a grand red spot. But that was during the first day of my coming here and starting this hectic war.
Now? That red spot got pushed away, covering almost half of the entire continent by now. However the green dot was still expanding slowly and steadily, and that meant my boys were killing and rocking it.
Since I started spreading out my shields and the fierce combination of the Exomachines and giant cyclops started to vanish from my sight. By the fourth day, not a single wave of these came again.
As for the enemies who were inside the shield, either came through gaps or were here since I created the shields, they were totally wiped out on the third day.
And now it was time for me to personally join this war. But first, I got to do something else. It was time to bring the scary chariot back!
Enough time has passed since I left my baby back there to get healed. And it got completely repaired almost one day ago.
I was still busy taking out my warriors, and so I wasn't yet ready to go and get it. But now I opened a portal directly towards the second Earth world to get it back.
"What's going on?" but just as I opened a portal, that portal opened like a burning dot before it vanished. I tried it again, and again, and yet I didn't manage to open any portal at all.
And that was… A bit weird.
"Don't bother," and just as I was puzzled by this, a weird voice appeared out loud, coming from the direction outside my shields. fre ewebn ovel
I raised my head and saw nothing at all. "I'm the one leading my people's armies to crush you. And as you can see, you are isolated from the outer world. You can't get any message at all, get into contact with anyone, and definitely you aren't able to open any portal at all."
"Space seal artefact? Nice trick," I stopped trying to open my portal. Instead, I looked at the distance, at the direction where that voice came from, "so you are the one who is dreaming to get my head?"
"I will get it!" He was arrogant enough to say such outrageous words in my face.
"I'm dying to see what you can do," I laughed in response, "from what I'm seeing, your forces are all getting pushed back by mine."
"That's something needed to keep you trapped here."
"As if you can," I calmly said, before turning towards the map, looking at what was the general situation right now.
As I expected, the entire map of this continent was now dyed red, with a big green spot that kept expanding outwards. Despite that, the green dot was simply no more than ten percent of the overall surface area of this continent. And that wasn't a small area at all, but it wasn't enough.
I knew such an artefact must have range, limited to fixed distance. And from the map, I could tell this dude was just playing with fire speaking with me like this and revealing his place to me.
Without even thinking about it, I turned around, towards the opposite direction of his voice, and started to fly there with my highest speed.
"What are you doing?" That dude seemed to panic the moment he saw me flying fast towards the opposite direction.
"What do you think? I'm escaping, hahahaha!" I laughed, while feeling more excited about this. This dude seemed to mistake the enemy he was fighting, and just mistook my understanding of artefacts.
Any single artefact would have different limits. Be it energy expenditure, energy requirements, or even strength needed to get activated… All artefacts have such limits.
And for something like the ceiling artefacts, they got a great limit on power expenditure and distance. I could tell this dude came prepared, had enough reserves of energy to sustain the activation of his artefact for a long time.
So the only option I got was to get out of the area of its coverage. This dude wasn't standing near me, and he wouldn't dare to be. And that meant he was back there, inside the grand red dot.
In response to my sudden move, he'd try to circle around and come at me. And that meant he had either to pass through my forces directly, risking himself getting trapped and exposed, or take the longer detour inside his forces, surrounding mine.
If he selected the former, then he'd end up revealing his place to me. I already tested my staff for a long time, and it worked here. And that meant his artefact only cut access of this place with the rest of the world.
So… At any given moment that dude would appear, I'd notice him on the map. He'd appear as a big red dot in the middle of all the green sea, trying to come towards me, closing up the growing distance.
And if he did so, then he'd find me appearing out of nowhere, coming out from my staff portal, and would then claim his life.
But if he was smart to see through all this, he'd try the other way around, taking the long path towards getting me trapped here. And doing so would turn all this into a race, which I was sure I'd win in the end.
After all, I didn't yet use my sacrifices, and didn't plan to use any until it was the right time.
"Dammit! I'm going to rip your limps and wings apart first, before torture you for long time," he roared, and that meant he already saw through my intentions here.
And that meant he was going to take the longer road. That didn't stop me from checking the map. And after ten hours, I knew he wasn't going to take the shortcut.
So it was time for me to start using my sacrifices.
