"This simple?" Legend seemed to be surprised by this. I nodded and didn't explain too much except for saying this:
"I'll give each group a large number of reinforcements to help. These are the ones responsible for handling any Hescos. If you didn't meet any at the beginning, then just keep them in reserve. Don't use any unless Hescos appears, not a bit second earlier. Got it?"
My words didn't seem that trustworthy to them. And they looked at each other, seemingly unable to understand what I meant.
I planned to send tens of millions of warriors with each group invading each world. In addition to that, I'd divide the weapons and suits made up by the research department over them equally.
As for the spearhead, he'd stay behind and wait for my further orders.
"But lord... Can you tell us the reason behind all this? We still don't understand why we should head to these scary lions and try our luck with them."
I didn't keep that as a secret. After all, it was something everyone would come to know soon enough.
Once they learnt about the reasons behind my decision, everyone's faces changed and showed an expression of understanding.
It wasn't hard to know why I decided to take such a risky and crazy step. If clashing with Hescos was inevitable, then doing it with slight advantage was much better than doing it when they would be at their best.
At least they were now scattered and didn't merge words together. In addition to the fifth quest, they didn't control their entire worlds yet.
Even the worlds they added, they were still going through tons of quests without any pause or rest. I believed the past month of rest was meant for another newly added world to catch up with the fifth quest.
So even if they were Hescos, they wouldn't be able to control these worlds efficiently. And I hardly believed they were going to be a hard opponent as well.
They were just cannon fodders, worlds added to make up with the needed requirement of the scorching land challenge.
"So hitting them now is the right way to secure our lives and future," I paused, making sure everyone here got what I meant to the letter, "any more questions?"
In the next few minutes, everyone exchanged looks with each other and then nodded to me in understanding.
"Lily and Isac will be responsible for arranging things over," I started distributing tasks, "spearhead will remain behind. The number of generals in each group sent will vary according to the resistance found at each world. And if needed, more generals and armies will be sent."
I knew that the location of our entry point would differ from one world to another. This would be random, totally uncontrolled and unpredictable.
So I expected that in some worlds, my armies would find weak races and would find it easy to control the situation. At others, they would only appear at places ruled by zombies.
The most dangerous situation would be if they appeared in front of a grand zombie territory like the ones I had in my kingdom, or appearing in the middle of a fortified zone of Hescos.
These two might seem scary and dangerous, but I knew the odds of them happening were low. But if either happened, then my forces would need immediate reinforcements.
As for myself, I wouldn't appear except if my forces appeared at a scary zombie den region, or they appeared at a very frightening Hescos region.
The initial target of this invasion was to secure a good stretch of land in every world, control many portals linked to here. If we were lucky enough, then most of my forces would appear at places not well secured.
Expanding my territory at such places would be easy. But if they landed in the middle of hard to control places, like these zombie dens and Hescos forces led by paragons, then they'd need my immediate intervention.
If I had to choose between the two, then facing Hescos led by paragons was much better than facing crazy and scary zombie dens.
I kept thinking about this while watching Lily and Isac giving their orders, dividing up the entire armies and generals into groups. In less than five hours, everyone was already in position.
I saw twenty-two groups standing in huge lines in the areas outside the capital. The entire kingdom was rebuilt into a grand zone of forts and walls, so the armies stretched for vast distances thanks to that.
And beside these groups, another batch of armies and generals stood in wait. Spearhead stood just in the middle, waiting as his army swelled up to be equal to many armies' strength.
I left instructions for Lily and Isac to do so. After all, the spearhead army was going to work as firefighters. If I forgot about the last lousy performance he did, I knew the spearhead wasn't bad, not as bad as the jumper.
So handing him such a large number of forces wasn't going to end up bad. After all, as they'd work as firefighters, I expected a great deal of casualties in their ranks.
I wouldn't hold him accountable for that. However when I recalled how unique and effective his special ability was, I got slight hope in them suffering fewer losses.
"We are ready!"
"It's up to you now."
Lily and Isac came to me and said. I watched them closely and knew they were ready.
And so I nodded, flew with my chariot before the frontline of each group.
"Remember, once stepping there, all you need to do is to kill. Don't ask questions, don't stop to listen to any bullshit, just advance and let your swords and weapons do all the talking."
I moved my eyes while saying these words while holding my horn. Everyone was ready to move, and I started taking the tickets I accepted from the Toranks.
These tickets remain for too long in my possession. I doubted they were buried under heavy layers of dust for all this time. I took out one of them and checked it out.
