Inside my inventory, the different pieces got arranged in a mere second, as each piece was added to their corresponding parts, forming entire sets in a flash.
A hundred sets, a thousand sets, a million sets… I kept gathering all the sets while moving from one shield to another.
When I finished, I was astonished to see the end result.
"Fifty million entire sets? And are there almost the same incomplete sets? Damn!" I just randomly added the numbers, and I was sure I missed a few millions in the middle of calculating such a gain.
With this, with these gears… Who could stop me? Hahahaha!
"Lord… What will we do now?" as I finished doing my task in less than half a day, while using my staff to jump in between places, Lucas came to ask me.
"Stand here, I'm going to take out all the soulers and reapers I have," I said amidst my laughs, "and then you can arm everyone with sets of gears like the ones you have."
"Really?!!" Even he was shocked by such news. I never thought the number of fiends killed would exceed one hundred million in this battle.
Yet when I thought about the repeated killing of fiends outside my shields before, and adding this to the crazy actions of their leader at the end of the battle, everything was quite possible.
And the trap I laid before helped as well.
I took out the remaining of soulers and reapers from my inventory, then took out the gear sets in batches, each had the same kind of gear.
I still didn't get time to properly inspect these gears. As the gears were different, it meant that their effects were different as well.
Doing this took me roughly one day, and when I was over with the completed sets, there were still a few million soulers who didn't get any yet.
So I took out the incomplete sets which had flying wings. My main goal from doing all this was to give the soulers wings after all.
After satisfying the needs of my soulers, it came down to which kind of warriors I should arm up next.
I thought about such a thing previously, and reached many ideas in the end.
One of them was to use my growing soul points to make a melee race and give them wings and formidable abilities using the gears.
But the complete gear sets were gone. And I didn't have enough incomplete sets with wings.
So it didn't matter which race I'd use right now. And that didn't discourage me. After all, we were going to have a grander battle soon enough.
The generals kept sending me messages, especially Isac and Sara. The two wanted to start the operation fast. One wanted to have more time to build what she wanted, and the other just sought out to fight.
I looked inside my inventory and randomly took out lots of my warriors to satisfy the number of my gears.
Even if these warriors came with full stats, they weren't on par with Hectors, Bulltors, or Dragons I planned before to summon.
Yet they were enough for the incomplete sets of gears that I had. Even if the gears didn't give most of them the ability to fly, they'd be quite unstoppable against the locusts and Silences.
I took roughly half a day before I took out all the sets in my inventory. Even if I ended up with nothing left for me there, all the gears were used by my warriors.
"I'll give you one more day, then I'll call you back," I said to all using my horn before controlling my chariot and flew high towards the upper silver ground.
It was time to start building up silver ground paths, linking the two grounds with the main land down below.
I knew the scene of making these paths and letting them get down would be noticed by all the enemies from hundreds of miles away. And so I'd expect tons of these enemies waiting for me down there even long before our arrival.
Trying to do it fast wouldn't do. First the distance was already too great to make such a sloped path down below. And that would endanger my forces coming down from such a high distance.
So it was better to make a circular path, with a direction towards the ground that wasn't that sharp to disturb the movement of my forces to the ground.
In addition to that, the number of my forces was already too much. I could call back everyone and then resummon them again at the ground. However that would waste lots of time, not to mention the generals would need more time to rearrange their troops again.
For a moment there I regretted not giving my generals the tokens of these warriors to deal with them before. Yet there was no time to regret such a thing now.
As I moved out my chariot, it seemed these quite eager generals were keeping a close eye on me. I noticed their chariots moving out and coming to welcome me midway.
"Is it time?"
"Are we going to do it now?"
"Shall I prepare everything?"
I listened to their eager questions even before they'd arrived. And I simply nodded.
"Make sure you align your forces in small teams," I said in my last instructions, "be aware that this move won't be any surprising, and the enemy will notice us coming the moment we start to move. So be ready for a brutal battle and don't expect anything easy or smooth down there, got it?"
"Yes, lord!"
"Everyone knows what to do, and I want to add one more piece of news… Down there, I won't be able to freely help any of you… Even if you meet up with friends, I won't be able to help in time. So prepare yourselves with that, and…"
I was still moving out and when I paused, I already reached the silver ground. I waved my hand and the next thing happened was for tons of soulers to appear.
