I kept moving around and this time I spent ten hours before finally returning to check on the first shield zone.
And there I found no white dots at all.
"It's safe to assume they are all dead… However…" I decided to stay around and wait for another day before deciding such a crucial matter.
If the enemy found a way to remain alive inside, then it was better to add more fire to the shields and incinerate them once and for all.
I resumed releasing my bones at other shields. And when I ended up dealing with these shields, I started to seek more enemies and form new shields and do the same.
After doing this for endless times for over one day, I ended up returning back to the initial zone.
"Tsk, there are five stubborn dudes down there," I noticed five faint white dots, flickering in the middle of all the orange and red sea like they were going to die at any moment.
Seeing this made me take one more fine gold grade bone and started to activate it.
As this happened here, I decided to add one fine gold bone to other shields. And such a task took one more day to get it done.
I didn't hurry to return back, and decided to spend five more days spreading more shields and death all over the world.
I covered hundreds of miles, even thousands, with my shields. I didn't aim towards merging the shields together, and instead focused more on spreading them on regular intervals, to cover up more lands and prevent the enemy from grouping later on.
Not to mention all these shields and deadly fire inside was enough for me to release a scary wave of attack.
However I wanted to first confirm the death of those inside these shields before releasing the stacked damage inside each shield and kill those way away from my reach.
The enemy didn't sit idle during this time. Instead, they kept moving their forces away from my reach, trying their best to stay away from me.
At the same time, I didn't let them retreat in such peace., instead I kept hunting them down. At some points, I kept releasing my shields at a far distance, entrapping inside many forces and preventing those behind from easily running away.
After spending five days in such a hectic chase and killing, I returned back to the first zone.
"Great, they are all dead by now," there wasn't a single speck of white in the middle of all redness and orange colours inside.
After almost one week, I was sure there wasn't anyone living inside. And if there were some, they would be heavily wounded and wouldn't pose any threat to me.
Out from the grand army the enemy brought here from these high zombies, I entrapped more than half already. The other half was entrapped in between the shields, unable to move forward easily, or even enter the shields to help their friends inside.
"Time to release the beast," I evilly grinned, made a group of shields somewhere, and entered inside to shield myself from the upcoming deadly attack.
Then I activated the offensive ability of my shields. And the next thing I saw was a very blinding bright light that turned silver red this time.
The silver red light bathed the entire world. I closed my eyes, decided to take this time to rest and consider my next move.
I already covered enough lands to call it a base. So it made sense to start merging the shields together, before asking Isac to lead others to build a base here.
"If I wanted, I could easily go towards another world," I spent almost two weeks here, enough for me to go and visit another world.
However building such a base here would take a long time indeed. I couldn't take Isac away, and leaving her behind to lead the building process and lead the forces out there didn't make any sense.
"I should leave her with another general then," this was the best solution to such a problem. And so I informed her to select one general to stay behind while she'd remain here to rebuild the entire world.
[I'll select Isabella] She sent after one day of thinking and considering everything. I didn't have any objection towards that, and simply thought it was a good choice.
Isabella was one of the all rounded generals here. Isac wasn't stupid, and she knew once she finished building the base here, a task that would take at least ten days, then she'd retreat back to the ground zero world.
We have a grand war coming, and I'd need her help to build tons of defences and bases in the twenty worlds.
So she selected one that could take over defence and offence at the same time, a perfect choice indeed.
I got Legend in mind as well as a suitable candidate. However Legend was far more important to my future plans at that upcoming great war to leave him rot in such a forsaken place.
[Fine] I sent, agreeing on her choice, [Tell everyone to get ready. Once this attack ends and I confirmed the death of everyone here, we'll return back to ground zero]
[Got it!]
I remained inside, while wondering for how long this attack would last.
I already spent close to two weeks here, much of it got wasted on exploring the higher surface without getting any clue about anything.
The real action started when I came here and got met with such deadly enemies. Despite it being hard, it was a bit more exciting than just wandering a scorching hot world.
The attack lasted for the entire five days. And once it got cleared, I started to examine the world around me.
This attack didn't last as long as I expected. But the devastation it left was clear.
The ground got lowered by fifty metres at least! The outer region that was away from the attack zone looked like huge walls of rocks standing all around the place.
