As for me, I kept taking warriors out for one more hour. Others kept taking out stat crystals until they formed a grand series of towering mountains all over the place.
Even with my insane speed of taking out warriors, even after taking more than a billion out, I never felt these mountains were getting smaller by time and my warriors.
In fact I felt like they were increasing in height and number! That was insane! How rich were these exactly? How come such filthy rich people failed to not bring warriors with them like I did?
Damn! What went wrong in their minds to not focus on using such wealth to buy warrior tokens like myself?
Don't tell me they all got their hands over stat crystal mines! That would be quite insane!
[Attention! The doors to the worlds are going to get opened in few minutes]
[Get ready everyone! This is it!]
Before I'd sent any message, I saw Lily coming on her chariot, with Legend, the spearhead, the jumper, and Toramos as well.
They got a few others with them, around ten that I didn't recall their names. But among them, three were contestants like Toramos and myself, while others were folks who came with other contestants.
"We are ready," Lily was the first to speak up. And I couldn't help but move my eyes over the bunch of people around here, before stopping my gaze upon the two jerks with them.
"They are here for a reason," Toramos noticed my weird expression over my face, and couldn't help but clear his throat before adding, "this one is waiting for his girl, and that one is looking for his dude."
"I'm not going to babysit anyone," I strictly said, "no matter who he is!"
"We don't need anything from you but warriors like anyone else," the jumper coldly said. And for a reason, I felt like this dude reached a deal with Toramos.
Something seemed off here. He acted a bit arrogant, just like he used to do back at the apocalypse.
What? Did he get some sort of artefact from Toramos or others that gave him such confidence?
"I'm not going to save anyone's neck," I stressed over this point, "I got my hands full."
"We don't need any help from you," the jumper spoke in his harsh tone again, making me sure he indeed got something from these contestants that skyrocketed his arrogance and self confidence again.
"Fine," if he wanted to try out his luck, then be my guest, "you can do whatever you want. I'll take warriors out in each zone, and you are responsible for assigning them..."
I moved my eyes towards Lily and Toramos. I already added all the contestants and their folks that I saved as friends.
After all, I didn't just save them out of my good heart or my desire to use their abilities in the upcoming battles.
Each single one of them was going to be something later on in their races. And having good ties with them when they were still nothing was the best chance for me.
After the end of the apocalypse, I'd start to embark on the wider stage of the universe. Having such friends in the big races was something crucial for my survival later on.
And if they failed to reach something in their races, my kingdom's arms would be wide opened for them to join me.
I'd not lose anything in the end, and gain tons of benefits in return. And that was what I sat my gazes upon.
I had such a far -sighted vision and long term goals that I started to work upon it from now on.
"Keep me posted about all the updates of everything happening everywhere," I said to these two, assigning this role for them to play.
I wanted to know everything that was going on, even if it was trivial. I knew the enemy would place much importance over the angelic world and the zone that was owned before by Toramos and his group.
This zone was like Achilies' heel for the enemy's grand scheme and plan. But that didn't mean they'd end up focusing everything on these two places.
The enemy would try to use the same tactic I used here, throw out many scary folks with a few words to attract and divert my attention from my important task.
This enemy was so damn hard to deal with, and so I had to secure myself and others by this procedure and precaution.
As long as I kept receiving intel about everything happening everywhere, I'd spot the places where the enemy selected to bring trouble at, and would instantly move to kill their chances in causing trouble to my forces and grand scheme.
It was like a grand board of chess played between two formidable chess masters. One simple mistake, and everything would crumble to pieces.
And I'd never let myself commit such a mistake thanks to neglecting the importance of the information network.
"Leave this to us," Lily said before adding, "I'll leave Legend with you for that."
"Legend?!" It was indeed shocking what she selected for this kid to play.
"We got enough capable generals on our side," Lily explained, "and this kid needs to see more of the world."
I got what she wanted to do here. Leaving Legend by my side might not benefit us in this fight, but would benefit us in the long term.
Seeing the capable figures on each contestant's side seemed to trigger something inside Lily's mind and heart.
I simply nodded, accepting her far fetched vision and plans for Legend.
We needed to use such harsh times not only to seek win, but also to try and train those capable seeds for the future.
"Let's start then," I motioned for them to disperse, and only Legend stayed by my side.
That dude didn't take more than one minute with me before spilling out the beans about the jumper's weird attitude.
