When I returned back to Earth in between my travels into these two worlds, I made sure to warn Lily about that point.
She asked for warriors, attracting my attention to this point that I totally missed.
I took out a great number of warriors and spread them all over the capital region and beyond. Things looked a bit chaotic but I didn't care at all. I left behind enough stat crystals in mountain sized gatherings and let my warriors consume them.
As I kept jumping in between the two worlds, releasing my shields, fierce offensive attacks, gathering up bones, and helping my forces out there if needed by using my techniques, I kept releasing more warriors after the old ones upgraded themselves and replenished the lost stat crystals.
My gains from these crystals were still going on from the battles at the two worlds out there. In addition to the bones, I kept taking out half of their inventories as well.
These races weren't as rich as the Hescos, but they added many items to my inventory. I also allowed my twenty selected elites to go there and collect more rewards as well.
In brief, I tried to make the best use of the limited time I had.
But time awaited for no one. Soon the one day time limit was about to be over.
I didn't hesitate and went back to the pocket world where I gained all the weapons and ammunition they made for me.
Using the benefit of the time difference, they managed to make up many of each weapon, making my smile from ear to ear.
Once I returned back to Earth, there was less than one hour left for the upcoming golden quest to start.
I did everything in my power to increase my odds in the upcoming quest. At the same time, I tried to fortify my kingdom here to my best abilities.
Just before the golden quest would start by almost thirty minutes, I got a sudden message from someone I hadn't spoken to for a long time.
[Be ready, the Hescos forces stationed here left and they are heading towards you!]
It was a message from Wryly, and I couldn't tell if he was alone or still being watched. So I directly asked him.
[They all left] he sent to answer my doubts, [But don't expect anything from my race. We are being pressured by them]
[I got that. Thanks for the head up warning] I sent to him. As I expected, the Hescos would start moving and try to target my kingdom when I was absent.
"Spread out the word, the Hescos are on the move," once I confirmed the news from Wryly, I turned around and said to Lily, "they are going to hit us soon once we leave this world."
"Those damn bastards!" the jumper shouted in rage, "they didn't dare to come when I was here! They are a bunch of cowards!"
I didn't know if he was really regretting not facing them or not. But to be honest, I felt quite relieved he wasn't going to face them.
Or else we'd be cursed by his insane bad luck!
"I warned the generals leading the forces at the borders," Lily acted in a more capable way. She didn't waste time complaining or something like that.
"Good," I nodded, "make sure they will be in touch with the research department. They are making great weapons out there and they'll come into play in this defensive war," I said, and Lily nodded in understanding.
"As for the zombie orbs..." I turned to look at the orbs gathered up. I already bound them with my blood and activated them. I planned to take one thousand of these, but there were almost ten thousand here.
The ones brought over from that sand world of the jumper were much more than I expected. I decided to take half when I saw such a large number, but now I decided to leave most to the forces here.
"Make sure the supply coming from the other worlds is constant. Make use of these orbs to form an inner defensive line if we lose the outer region."
"Sure. By the way, do you know which direction they are coming from?" she asked, and I paused for a minute before answering her:
"Make your preparations that we are going to be hit from all sides," this might seem a bad answer, but it was what I'd expect from my enemies.
If I was in their shoes, then the moment I decided to move my hidden forces here, I'd make sure I'd move them in a way to put my forces in a great disadvantage.
So it was better to prepare for the worst than getting surprised by our enemies.
I watched Lily getting busy in the remaining minutes while the entire world around was filled with abnormal movements.
The armies stationed here seemed to know what to do. Part of them was left here to reinforce the forces scattered all over the world, and the rest went towards the area of portals.
As for me, I collected my zombie orbs and warriors. I left behind enough stat crystals just in case my forces here needed the help of the seven stars race in this big war.
I knew that the Hescos were forced on this move. And I was the one who did that to them and myself.
My interference at the two last worlds put more pressure over them. It seemed they desperately needed these two worlds, or they got enraged by my actions.
So they started to move out here to place more pressure over my forces. They might aim towards exhausting my forces and prevent many to go and support my forces at the last two worlds.
Or perhaps they just wanted to take a piece of me in return for what I did to them. In any case, this war was about to befall us, and I hoped my preparations and forces here would be enough to stop them.
