However such a plan was now impossible to be executed. I needed these two to keep training more troops on how to execute that deadly array.
And that left me with the most important question right now; what should I do next?
My top worry came from the yet to appear Silence race.
The enemy didn't send them out, and weirdly enough their absence became more stressful on me than if they were present.
I didn't know why, but every single move I thought of had to be dropped thanks to my worry from that Silence race.
"Tsk! Those damn fiends… Even when they did nothing with the Silence race, its infamy is enough to make me doubt my every move…"
All the moves I thought of and can be executed perfectly without any worry were limited to my twenty zones.
And I didn't like that!
I wanted to move the battle over to the enemy homelands. However when I thought about the situation of dealing with two races at the same time, I knew I couldn't just use simple moves.
"Should I act personally or what?" This was the only idea that could be executed without any worry.
The main worry came from the need to take out more generals from the current zones. If the Silence race acted, my arrays were the only thing that could stop them.
So taking Legend and Sara away was out of the question. All I could do for now was to use other generals to do such tasks.
But doing so was going to be risky, especially if the enemy didn't send out their Silence troops to wait for me to do such a move.
Hmm… It was quite a headache! The only scenario where there wasn't any risk of weakening the defences here would be by personally going out there.
And if I did that, I knew I'd not be able to easily extricate myself from these battles to aid here if needed.
That made me pause and think deeper about such a move.
"Before I can do this, I have to think about all the possible scenarios and make preparations for them…" I wrecked my brain while moving around and checking the current situation of my defensive shields at every zone.
The situation was just like what Lily described, it was still the same like before.
Locusts were trying to get through my shields and reach my warriors. At the same time, my warriors used everything in their power to kill these locusts.
"I shouldn't use them for now," I wanted before to spread out the weapons I got from the research department and use these killers to exterminate large numbers of locusts in a short time.
However, that wasn't needed right now. I only thought about doing this when I considered the appearance of Silence troops alongside these locusts.
And that didn't happen so far.
So taking out these weapons would alarm the enemy about their potential and threats. So instead of making such a mistake and using them here, I decided to keep them hidden.
My warriors were doing just fine in dealing with these locusts. I still felt puzzled about why the ones who came here before never succeeded in crushing the Silence race or these locusts.
They looked quite weak to me! Even my warriors without stat points were enough to kill them.
There was a single reason behind this, the ones who arrived here didn't prepare as much as I did.
They might be much stronger than myself, however only twenty could arrive here.
If they didn't use my human wave tactic, using endless tokens to support themselves, then they'd end fighting by themselves.
I looked at my inventory and saw the seemingly endless amount of warriors I got. And even with them, I felt like things weren't that easy to handle here.
If I just depended on my twenty team members, a few warriors, then things would turn out quite ugly for me no matter how strong I was.
That was the only possible explanation I could think of. And when I did, I felt how silly such a reason was.
If that was true, then why didn't any of the big races support their offsprings and give them lots of warriors?
I got that I was different thanks to my class and bones. And that made me feel quite lucky.
Even if I came from a race without a strong backing, I was wealthy enough to support myself and get anything I wanted.
And yet that also made me question the motives of the higher ups in each race. Didn't they know about the great story behind the races entrapped here or what?
As I was thinking about that, I recalled the words Silverlining once conveyed on the tongue of the head of the Toranks.
He wanted to test me, and was going to select another test before finally settling on using the golden quests as a suitable test.
In their eyes, it seemed this golden quest was some sort of a test to their offsprings and future sovereign candidates. And if that hypothesis was true, then I couldn't help but feel weird about how things ended up at.
The higher ups tried to solve the problem of the entrapped races, and the big races in the universe dealt with it like it was some sort of a game or something.
Tsk! I decided to throw away all these useless thoughts and shifted my attention towards the possible scenarios my forces might face here.
The most troubling situation would be the one where my forces had to fight against two races at the same time. And that made me consider leaving behind the many deadly weapons I had back at the central zones.
But that wouldn't help much. I thought differently and finally found a way to handle such a tricky situation.
If the enemy decided to send up the two races combined, then I'd force one race to stand down. To do so, I'd use the same method I used here, building up a great number of shielded zones and letting my warriors occupy them.
