“I dunno the number for sure,” she paused for a second, “but as far as I know, that crazy dude asked for five eggs before the apocalypse started.”
“Five… That’s a lot!” The jumper gave me a look of doubt.
“Tell me more about these beasts,” I didn’t jump towards fear like the jumper and demanded further explanation from her.
And as I asked, she started to give me detailed answers about that scary breed of such scary legendary beast.
“They are the babies of that colossal beast of ours. That beast is a legendary thing, I even didn’t see it even once,” Lily started her explanation with this, before adding:
“The beast shares with us the same bloodline. Some legends in our race speak about how we came from a mightier beast that gave birth to us and left this guardian to help secure our race. If not for it, we wouldn’t have reached this stage we currently have.”
“So you and him share the same abilities?” I asked and she nodded.
“It’s not only sharing the same ability, but also sharing the same energy. See, you must have watched my people fighting this baby and trying to kill it, right?”
“Don’t just say baby on such a thing! It’s a calamity!” the jumper harrumphed, and I couldn’t help but inwardly nod in agreement..
“I know it might look huge, but it’s nothing compared to the real thing,” Lily rolled her eyes before adding, “they are trying to kill it, letting everyone have a few hits, then they’d be bathed in its blood.”
“Bathed in its blood?!!” I asked in doubt and she nodded.
“There is a big lake, big lakes actually in the place they are trying to kill it, right?” she asked and both of us nodded.
I thought they were trying to use these lakes to train and kill monsters. But it looked like these lakes had another usage then.
“They will kill it, and a flood of blood will erupt. It will be like a fountain, and it will mix with the water, allowing for the entire armies there to bathe in that blood.”
“What for?” the jumper asked.
“To get an entire big cultivation base upgrade,” she said with such shocking news, “like this, our people with just a few minor cultivation bases will go all the way up to the next big cultivation base. In brief, they will turn mightier and become much stronger.”
“That…” I was even shocked when I heard that. I knew that making a single raise in cultivation was a long and tiring process. Even with my potion trick, the best I hoped was to get my boys to rise up small steps in cultivation.
“So we need to stop them,” the jumper looked at me and I slowly nodded.
“I believe the number of forces there is large, right?” Lily seemed to not see how we could do it.
“We are already exposed,” the jumper stressed over his idea, “and we got such large forces here. It’s not useful anymore to act low. We need to start with a big bang!”
“These forces aren’t ready yet!” Lily defended her men, and I could only agree on what she said.
“Tell me, only Hectors can benefit from such a way?” I looked Lily directly in the eye.
“Well… It’s never tried before,” she got what I meant, and the jumper as well.
“That’s my man,” he patted me on the shoulder, seemingly happy about my decision.
“We will try it then,” I firmly said, “we will pave the path for your boys to come and get bathed in that blood.”
.
“But… They have to first inflict damage upon that monster,” she argued, and I paused for a second, exchanging gases with the jumper before shrugging and saying:
“Then let them prepare for battle. We will clear this damn monster and others as well.”
“But…”
“Easy, we got them and trained them for all this time. I get you feeling they aren’t ready, but they are! You took more days to train them, much more than what you took for my past army. So they are ready, more than the others at least. And they got such a rare chance to open their cultivation bases and get to such high bases. We can’t let them drop this chance, or let the enemy have it.”
“O… Ok…” after hesitating for a long minute, she decided to follow my instructions and slowly nodded.
“You need to get them ready then,” the jumper was anxious to move out.
“Don’t rush it,” but I didn’t hurry her, “we have time difference to our side here.”
“Cool,” she said, and I turned to the jumper.
“We will have to wait here for a couple of days,” I said such shocking news and he couldn’t help but glare at me in such a fierce way.
“What for?”
“For reinforcements to arrive.”
If I was going all out, I had to go with everything I got. Spending two or three days here would mean only three hours up to four passed on the outside world.
But during these days, I could get fresh forces to help me in such a brutal fight.
[Bro, I need all the help you can provide]
[What do you need?]
[Warriors, all the warriors you can get during the next three days]
[Going to a big war then? Ok, I got the direct order from many sovereigns to support you with my full capacity]
I listened to what he said, and I could only think about one thing.
[The meeting, is it done already?]
[Not yet, they are waiting for me to arrive. But many sovereigns got the news and showed their support to your crazy idea. They even took the trouble to contact me and order me this]
[Thanks. I truly appreciate it]
[What race are you going against this time?]
[Hectors]
[Why are you selecting the big names? Don’t tell me you plan to fight us next time!]
[Hahaha, bro we are friends and allies]
