I got all the talents from Silverlining. That dude must have got a few from his race, or from places that kept producing such stuff. “Can you draw these designs? And even more importantly, do you recall more designs of other weapons?”
As he nodded, I kept asking, and he kept nodding and laughing.
“Lord, these are mere toys in my eyes. If you want, give me enough blacksmiths, lots of good ores like what you used just now, and lots of workers… Give me a place, and in less than a week I’ll produce tons of much better weapons, energy cores, and ammo for your armies.”
This dude… Damn!
“Hahahaha! I wish Silverlining was here to see the look on his face if he heard what you said, hahahaha!” and just as I got over my joyful surprise, I couldn’t help but laugh, just like old Gan, for entire long minutes!
“But lord… This will take lots of materials… And…”
“Just write the list down,” I laughed, “and now let’s go to the place where you’ll live from now on.”
I left Angelica’s men working there for a long time already. I hoped they were doing something good.
I led them and their people across the densely packed armies. It took roughly five hours to get to the area of portals.
I didn’t jump directly to that continent as I needed time to arrange things old Gan needed.
I sent the list over to Angelica with the word urgent so she could prepare them fast enough.
Old Gan didn’t know which ores we had at the grand mine, so I asked for batches from each ore. In addition to that, he asked for lots of other common materials, and even listed down their replacement.
I entrusted Angelica with this task. I also asked her to send blacksmiths and other forging and craftsmen talents over to the bomb site, or the portal site as I loved to call.
Just as we arrived, I found lots of people waiting for me there. She did act fast. Part of these men were hers, carrying tons of materials. And the others were talents spreading all over the world.
She also mentioned something related to talents on Earth. But I had to leave them for now.
I’d slowly move all of these here to get the benefit of the time difference.
“Follow me,” I said to this growing army of people and led them through the portals to the secluded continent of the research department.
I didn’t forget to leave a few behind to guide whoever was coming later on. I thought of leaving people situated here permanently, as this place started to be like a huge maze filled with lots of giant portals.
Even I had to recall which portals were the ones leading to that continent.
“This…”
“Wow! This place is amazing!”
“There… There is nothing but green here!”
It hit me! Those people… All they saw was the devastation caused by the apocalypse and the deadly fights back at my training grounds.
They didn’t have time to explore the beauty of this world.
“Lord… This…” Old Gan wasn’t like others. He got the meaning of the presence of such a place fast.
“Consider it our backyard,” I chuckled, “just go and explore it as you see fit. Don’t waste too much time playing. We have lots of things to do.”
“I… See…” Old Gan controlled himself as he realised I wouldn’t tell even if he asked.
But he got what this world was; a world without an apocalypse, a heaven in the middle of such a chaotic universe.
I didn’t know if he knew the true nature of this world, guessing it was a singular world. However even if he did, he got no one to tell anyway.
“How long will it take to start working…”
And just as I was speaking, the four leaders spread their orders and instantly lots of things started to appear in front of my eyes.
They took everything! Even a few buildings are filled with lots of things! This… I asked them to bring everything, but not even that damn ancient building of the MIT campus!
It was mostly destroyed, but it seemed they rebuilt part of it and stored lots of their gears inside. I stood in my place, high on my chariot, motionless, while watching in great curiosity what they were doing.
One group of buildings started to issue a buzzing noise before energy cables started to gush out. It seemed inside these buildings, lots of generators were placed.
Yet something told me they were producing a different form of energy other than electricity.
I watched while Wolf and Moore led their men to one vastly open spot and started taking out tons of weapons and big guns there.
Tanks, rocket launchers, and even planes! Everything they salvaged from their headquarters and warehouses were brought out in large batches.
In the span of a few hours, this entire place started to look overcrowded.
They started working near the portal zone. And far away, in one direction, I could see the outerlining of a few towns and cities.
This was the place where Angelica’s men were working. I didn’t go to visit there, and didn’t intend to do so.
I was curious to see what these people were going to do.
I flew over the legions of big weapons brought by the two huge corps. They were indeed worthy to be called two of the greatest weaponry corps in the world before the apocalypse.
When I saw those stealth bombers, I finally got some sort of idea for them.
“Wolf… Come here,” and as I had these thoughts, I went directly to Wolf and asked him to come on board.
“Yes lord,” he came in a hurry while his face was sweating. I got that he looked like this out of excitement and not exhaustion. And yet I knew what I was going to say next was going to raise his level of excitement to new heights.
“Listen… About those bombers and fighters…”
