"Do you want them to stall the enemy reinforcements?" Lily asked in greater shock. If these two were blinded by their ferocious nature, Lily still thought with logic about this, "are you trying to send them to their demise or what?"
"Just do as I say," I slowly said before adding, "we have to do that. Or else when the time would come for the worlds to open for us, we wouldn't have enough forces to free these worlds from their curses."
"If so…" Isac looked at Lily as if to get her confirmation before adding, "we need to change our entire plans regarding the two places and worlds of theirs."
That was precisely why I told them part of the plan. I didn't need them to just stall the reinforcements at these worlds, but to clear a path and establish a portal out there, to allow me to invade these worlds and crush the enemies at the core.
Doing so would place enough pressure for the enemies to reveal more cards. And that eventually would add up to my final plan.
"You surely need to do so," I nodded in confirmation, keeping such thoughts to myself, "I want capable soldiers to lead the places of these two."
"From what I saw," Lily was still not agreeable to such a risky and crazy plan, "that souler dude is great. Do you have more?"
"What? Do you think these are like common cabbage?" I laughed before adding, "General calibre warriors are rare to find. However I got five slightly weaker leaders who served under Lucas. They are capable dudes and can serve quite well as replacements for these two."
"Five… Interesting…" Lily paused before adding, "are you going to send more generals out there? If so, we can replace five at one go."
"No, use these five to replace these two," I knew the five elites under Lucas' lead were great and such, but I'd never trust them the same way I trusted Sara and Legend.
I tested Lucas many times already, and I got what he was capable of. But I couldn't say the same about these five. So it'd be better to just replace these two with those five.
In return, none of those presented here noticed the little trick I pulled here. I used Lucas to replace me while I got busy dealing with my tasks. And right now I was free, but I didn't move to replace him or something.
This little detail was missed by all, or that was what I thought.
"Fine, I'll make them take over their territories," Lily paused for a moment before adding, "but they didn't train on using the star arrays nor got to know the general layout of defences or their forces even…"
"Don't worry, they are smart and will grasp such things fast enough," I said to reassure her before taking the five out, "follow the orders of Lily to the letter."
"Sure lord," the five bowed in respect before moving to stand beside Lily.
"Ok, I'll brief them about everything they need to know," Lily could only sigh before adding, "about these two… Are you really going to do that?"
She pointed back at Sara and Legend. Even if she showed such concern about them, the two never showed any fear or doubt about doing what I asked.
"They will be fine," I said with a mysterious smile, "don't act like being their mom or something."
"Stop it!" I tried to joke with her but she was taking this matter quite seriously. Her face never broke the tension it showed. "I'm just worried about losing two capable generals and friends like this."
"They will be fine," I said. And from my strict attitude, she didn't have anything to say anymore.
She only gave me a long gaze before leaving with everyone else, all but one who remained with his eyes looking at me in a weird way from his mask.
"Don't think I missed that little thing you tried to hide," he said once everyone else left.
I looked deeply at his eyes and couldn't help but inwardly sigh. That dude was truly a pain. "What do you want?" he wouldn't stay behind and say such hidden words without a reason.
"Take me with you!"
"I didn't say I'm going anywhere!"
"Come on! Stop bluffing and just agree."
I could tell he read through parts of my plan. Even if he didn't get to know everything, at least he knew about my intentions of going out there and taking part in that invasion plan.
After my two sent arrows would hit their marks, establish the portals between the worlds, I'd start to take over and start out a great invasion movement.
Even if the enemy knew about my intention to send Sara and Legend out there to their worlds to keep their forces busy, they would never imagine my real intentions.
So their knowledge about this part of the plan was pointless. And the main source of my confidence came from the merged star arrays and the deadly fifth layer.
I planned to equip these two armies with endless green and blue bones. They'd just start a spree of unleashing the deadly swarms of fifth layer deadly techniques and would render whatever the enemy prepared for them pointless.
"Why?" I couldn't risk taking this bad omen with me without a proper reason.
There was nothing for him out there to do. His main goal of coming here was to meet up with that angel that gave him his ability from before.
So what was the point in sending him all the way to the enemy homelands? It didn't make any sense to take such a risk in my eyes.
"It's my god," and just when I was feeling puzzled, I heard such an ominous reference to that dirty god. "He said that the one I'm looking for is locked up inside one of these worlds. I came here specifically to ask you to let me go there."
"This…" Just hearing the mentioning of that twisted mind god made my heart fell to my feet.
