I personally got hit many times with these explosions. And I could tell you with clear conscience that these explosions really did hurt!
I was safe thanks to my chariot's shield and my personal sacrificial shield and defence. But my forces weren't that safe at all. Once an explosion got triggered, and that happened frequently and without any clear pattern to me, many of my forces would die.
But that didn't stop me from continuing this hellish battle. If anything I lacked, then it wouldn't be warriors for sure.
I started to change the overall tactic a little bit, depending more on those gifted with deadly long ranged attacks or hellish defences. My Fallen Gods, my Avengers, and even my Kings and geared soulers and reapers were all good candidates for this.
Not to mention the long ranged weapons of my research department that created havoc all over the place.
I tried to let Lucas II try with his folks to change the world around, push away these weird clouds and turn them to ground or anything else. But they failed. For a reason, these clouds were resistant to anything they used.
"It will all be solved once I take down these Valkyries and trees… But this continent is a bit huge!"
I sighed when I realised that one month might not be enough. The more I killed, the more that would get out from those trees. And in the middle of all this, I visited the mirror world, trying to do something different as I got bored from killing those Valkyries.
Who would even imagine that the moment I went there, I found something weird. "Oh, that's new!" my eyes shone brightly when I saw the grand gathering of bombs at a single location. It was deeply situated in the deep areas of this continent, buried tens of kilometres down the ground.
And these bombs were alone, there were lots of enemy forces there, in something that looked like a grand bubble underground.
"I found you!" this went without saying, this was the place the fierce lady tried to reach. She didn't try to jump out of this continent, but to a well hidden place here.
This was the first time for me to see something like this. And that meant whatever the way she decided to use to detonate these bombs, it was situated there alongside her forces.
"Things changed now!" I returned back to the real world, appearing just on top of the normal looking ground which covered up all this. "I have to use the spot I cleared and bring forth those diggers…"
During the past ten days, my forces killed tons of these Valkyries. Right now there wasn't just a single empty area off them, but at least a hundred spots, appearing like white stains in the middle of a big black red dress or something.
I didn't hesitate and moved at once through one of the cleared areas here using my staff. I returned back to ground zero. And before I'd send a message over to Lily, I found her standing just near the spot I arrived at.
I appeared in the portal area, a place which was normal for her to be in. However, what she said to me next made me pause in shock.
"Here you are! Where the hell were you?" she screamed at my face the moment she saw me appearing here.
"I was busy dealing with a troublesome enemy," I didn't get why she was so hyped about, "what happened? This is war, and it's normal for me to vanish for a period, handling some serious stuff like I plan to do right now."
I was about to ask her about the drilling equipment from the research department that got sent here. I stayed in that battle for almost two weeks, and that was more than enough for old Gan and others to produce more machines for me.
"No time for that! There is a huge thing going on here, a very huge thing!!"
"Easy there," shouting at me in such a way wasn't going to help at all, "tell me exactly what happened first."
"Karoline.. It's Karoline… She is back!"
I paused for a long moment before finally realising what happened. "Holy sh*t! Tell me everything, but first…"
I wanted to hear everything about my missing girl. She went missing for a long time without any news from her except my last explosive conversation with her.
Since then, she went off radar, not even showing any sign of being alive. I considered her dead or something, or perhaps she went far away from Earth.
But it seemed things turned and took such complicated turns, and now of all times this had to happen.
Even if I wanted to go all the way to her and save her or find out what happened to her, I knew I couldn't do that. Right now, there was a grave danger awaiting me, for my forces back at the enemy continents. And I got to stop it.
"This is what happened…"
And as she sent people to the second Earth world, to fetch the newly constructed digging machines over, she started to narrate what happened.
Weirdly enough, Karoline appeared just when I got entrapped with that fiery lady. It wasn't coincidental, I was sure of it. Especially when she narrated what Karoline did since reappearing again.
She didn't just show up and come to look for me, she appeared leading a grand army under her banner, one that got formed of different races.
It was weird. The army was colossal enough to take over ten continents during the past two weeks. And that wasn't all, the strength this army showed, the weird tacit understanding and teamwork told Lily that it wasn't an army that was pulled over on a haste.
"Are you saying that this army is formed of tens of billions, and even more?!" I was shocked when I heard the number she estimated of Karoline's forces.
