The hole looked deep and bottomless. And it kept expanding outwards. I narrowed my eyes, not knowing what was happening until the first batch of Hescos appeared.
This time, it wasn't just a problem of a few hundreds of thousands. I saw millions gushing out from this huge circular pit, coming hot at my forces, aiming at their lives.
Seeing this frightening scene made me realise why that grand general didn't hurry and deploy any of the suit legions. He seemed to grow suspicious about Hescos actions from earlier. Or perhaps he got a clue about what these Hescos were doing.
Either way, he managed to evade a deadly mistake by sending out the trump forces outwards to fight the Hescos coming at my frontline forces.
If he did that as I wanted, then it would be too late to call them back. The situation would turn from my forces kicking these Hescos' asses, into them being entrapped between mighty Hescos. And this would end up bad without any doubt.
Luckily that grand general was more patient than I was. And I couldn't help but admire his brilliant mind and military experience.
And now the battlefield changed, and I couldn't even tell if my forces would win this or if a big defeat was waiting at the end of this tunnel.
One thing was sure, whoever side would win this clash would secure the win over the cost of a large number of losses.
But that in case no one interfered, on condition that I didn't interfere.
"Go in there, kill any Hescos you find," the large number of warriors I prepared beforehand and let them fill their needs of stat points were given permission to join this battle.
If the Hescos thought that they got the homeland advantage, throwing in tens of millions of their kin to crush my invading forces, then they would be terribly wrong.
I also got the same advantage, and right now tons of warriors with cultivation bases and filled to the brim stat points were heading to their world with an order to kill.
I returned to examine that world. The Hescos looked pretty much confident about their chances in crushing my forces.
They got all the right to feel so. After all, they were fighting this battle in their homeland. And it seemed they already amassed lots of their forces around mine.
So it made perfect sense to feel this way. As my warriors were on the way to that world, the grand general out there didn't expect me to send any reinforcement to him.
He gave the order and all the forces with suits moved in unison, heading towards the central invasion by the underground Hescos.
When I looked closer, I was surprised that not only the digging Hescos were there. These underground Hescos worked their magic and seemed to open wide paths for the other two kinds of hescos to walk through.
So from this grand circular hole, a large number of Hescos were coming out, mainly ground forces and few were flying ones.
Seeing such a grand army coming in the middle of my forces was shocking. If I was one of the soldiers standing near this circular hole, then I'd feel terrified from these enemies.
The Hescos started to press over my forces in all directions. They controlled a good deal of land in the first few minutes, and with the flying Hescos, they looked invincible at this moment.
But with the timely reaction from the grand general, hundreds of thousands of different coloured suits flew over in a grand formation. They didn't fear these Hescos, and this time they came with full force.
"These Hescos... Tsk!" Just as the first waves of my warriors entered that world, another change happened.
It seemed the leader of Hescos forces was sceptical about the suit forces. He seemed to doubt the presence of more of these elite fighters, and so he devised a plan to counter them.
As the suits went to the front to deal with the invading forces, other holes appeared one after another. They were located much deeper into my force lines, and in a matter of two minutes they merged together and another bottomless circular hole appeared once more.
This hole was much smaller than the first one in terms of diameter, but its width and space were the same.
Just as these holes appeared, tons of Hescos emerged. And when the circle was formed, endless streams of Hescos appeared.
And just with a single glance I could tell what their goal was. "They are coming after my precious weapons," I clenched my fists, resisting the urge to jump through this portal light and join the fray.
Luckily this all happened when my warriors arrived. The distance between the inner circular hole and my weapons wasn't that big from the beginning. Only two miles separated the two.
When the Hescos appeared, they seemed very courageous and overbearing. Their weapons plunged at my forces around, killing lots of them and started to move out.
This time they didn't do the same as the outer circle. They didn't push all over the place. Instead they took direction and pressed hard with everything they got towards it.
They aimed at my weapons. But they also knew my weapons were just near the portal linking to my world. So they expected tons of reinforcements to arrive.
The leader of the Hescos seemed to not believe the presence of more suited forces. So he just expected a bunch of useless races and humans, easy to kill.
But they truly underestimated me and my kingdom's true might. Just as the Hescos were gaining ground fast and coming closer to my weapons, many trucks started to open fire at them first.
I was even surprised by this. I saw hampies holding futuristic looking cannons over their backs, opening hellish fire over the incoming Hescos.
The fire looked more like rays of laser or something like that coming hot at the Hescos. The scare fire landed and instead of the violent explosions I used to see, I saw fire engulfing the Hescos like they got hit by balls of coloured liquid or something.
