Chapter 696 This War Will Last For Months
[That’s a relief!] He seemed to be under great stress from the three sovereigns. [I’ll go and talk with them then. I’ll let them prepare lots of everything, if that’s ok with you]
[It’s fine] I looked around, [I’m going all out this time and will pay a huge amount of my silver grade bones and higher]
[Great! I’m sure they’ll be jumping around out of joy. I’ll wait for your message. And please, don’t start any training until we are done!]
[Hahahaha! Don’t worry, my hands are full with lots of fighting this time]
I closed the chat while laughing over his last remark. This dude… Every time I ordered something from him, I’d end up losing myself in cultivating.
But this time I had no opportunity to do so. Just as I closed the chat with this dude, I started my first spree of collecting bones.
The death toll this time was great! And on this side of the war, just the number of killed races was staggering!
According to my soul count, I gained over one hundred and thirty million souls in this war. This came mainly from the monsters, and then the mercenaries.
But the number of killed races was also huge! Just jumping around and collecting bones and clearing inventories gave me tons of different grade bones.
When I finished clearing the battlefield, I couldn’t help but grin. The gain this time was really big!
Who said war was the time for the rich to get richer? This dude was a wise man!
Forget about the tons of bones I got, just the gears and monster materials I got was immense!
There was also a large number of coins I had from these dead folks. I didn’t have much use for coins at the moment. But at times, I’d need to buy tons of things from the market, and they came in handy at such times.
It took me almost ten hours to clear the entire battlefield here. Just thinking about the huge stretched war in the middle of my kingdom gave me a big headache.
“Come on now, let’s go back together,” I called all the soulers here, even the elites. Their number was slightly over five million before this war. And now they are slightly less than four million.
They lost almost one million during this fight alone. It might seem a big loss, but considering the many fights they participated in, I knew this wasn’t a big loss.
My other forces have lost tens of millions so far. And the count was about to increase in the next few days.
According to the messages coming from the eastern frontline, the Hectors started to amass large armies to stop their advance. They already covered thousands of miles by now.
Yet that seemed like covering up a small percentage of that continent! ?
What was bad was the fact that I had no way to train more soldiers this fast. I first needed to recall Lily and her Hectors from the frontline first, and replace her with others.
Then I’d have to wait for a day or even more, to buy dents from Silverlining. Then I’d have to go to the second Earth and look for a good place to scatter them.
Also the places used to make the potion of my people should be relocated to the second Earth world.
The time difference was a must if I wanted to produce these potions on a larger scale.
So far, the five thousands who got the chance to open their cultivation were still lost in their cultivation. I knew they might take weeks, even months to wake up.
So staying here would be a waste! I couldn’t relocate them, but I could move everything else to the second Earth and start this big project over there.
This would be the second step then. I had to wait until the western armies and generals would come here before doing any of that.
I got Isac and the other two back to the capital. The capital was all now secured and safe. However Isac was needed to supervise over building the defensive structures at the northern gulf, and the other two weren’t trusted at all.
I really lacked good talents to depend upon in such times. This would be my next move after getting all this done.
As I opened a portal and passed through it with Lucias, I started another spree of collecting bones.
The fight zone here was filled with tons of dead bodies, and the best part was in them being concentrated over a much smaller area than the other battlefield.
Despite getting fewer things from their inventories, I got lots of bones. These bones were low grade, mostly green, blue, and silver.
I knew the higher grade bones would come from the eastern and western battlefields. The eastern one would bring me the highest grade bones among all the battlefields in this war.
My only regret was in the bodies lying in the depth of the ocean. However, who said they could get away from me this way?
“Come out!” I called forth my soulers and also dragons and krakens.
“You will lead your boys across the big bridge over there,” I first assigned the next task for my bloody general, “go there and kill any enemy you find. I’ll join you later in a couple of days.”
“Couple of days? Is this a long term war then?” the eyes of Lucias shone in such dangerous red light. I knew this dude got stronger, but this new personality of his was a bit worrying.
What would he do or feel in times of peace? I had to find him good places to fight, even send him over the betting world to fight there for me.
“It will last for months,” I brought such great news over to him, “during this, I’ll keep adding more souler armies under your command. Even in the presence of other generals, you will be the supreme leader of your race.”
