I just told this dude to keep fighting the locusts, driving them to attack the shields, and kill as many of them as he could.
As for the enemies here, I kept pushing them around in places I wanted. Even when I was met with a vast and open space of land, I used my shields to create artificial obstacles, preventing the enemy from gathering around in places they could run away through easily, evading my cube.
The enemy felt more confidence in such tactics and started to send more troops to deal with Legend and the army I left behind for him.
But after doing this for one day, and after covering tens of thousands of miles, it was time for me to close in the grand net and start collecting my trophies.
"Surprise!" I used the staff for the first time since they used their tactic. I jumped back to a spot I already visited before, used my cube and sucked dry everyone and everything in one hundred mile radius.
And starting from here, the real nightmare of the enemy started.
After seeing their tactic succeed, ending up in forcing me to move away without gaining a single troop of theirs, they started to pour more forces to the frontline.
I estimated that hundreds of millions were now fighting Legend at these shields alone. As for the number of forces in the entire zone I covered with my chariot, they would be in tens of billions if not more!
That was a substantial loot for me, especially when the enemy used everything they got.
Worms appeared, friends were like locusts in the air, and the one eyed giants began to show up. Even the high zombies with their scary drums appeared as well.
The enemy used everything they had, even these deadly islands with portals on their backs. When these crazy fellows appeared in big numbers at Legend doorsteps, that dude sent a distress message.
And that was why I started to act.
The shields I left behind might sustain any enemy, not the worms, not the high zombies, not the Exomachines, and surely not these deadly flying islands.
Without waiting any longer, I moved my chariot back, jumped fast, used my cube, captured everything in a few seconds, before jumping again to another spot.
My sudden move scared the enemy, especially when they realised after an hour what I truly was doing in the past day.
Like mad they started to evacuate their forces, however they found the bitter truth... They couldn't escape the clutches of my deep net!
I jumped first at the outer areas I recently visited, gathered everyone there, and cleared a huge stretch of land.
And then I kept jumping at this region, kept myself active here, collecting anyone who managed to run all the way to here.
After one hour from doing so, the enemy started to realise the harsh truth. They couldn't retreat anyone from the inside or else they'd end up getting caught. And they couldn't send any reinforcements from outside as I'd end up collecting them as well.
They tried many times, sending lots of armies from different directions at the same time during the next few hours, and yet they failed. They tried to not do anything for a few hours, and I had to jump inside to collect the loot standing inside, relieving the pressure over Legend.
I asked that dude to slowly and calmly retreat inside, buying myself as much time as he could. During this, I kept alternately jumping in between the inner and outer zone, collecting any armies that tried either to break free or move in to reinforce the trapped huge armies inside.
The enemy kept trying, and I kept stopping them with all my means. In fact, letting armies get inside wasn't that bad, however letting who got trapped to be released wasn't acceptable.
So I had to move back and forth to make sure I didn't miss anyone. And after two days from doing so, I managed to clear thousands of miles, and the enemy seemed to grow tired from doing anything anymore.
During the next day, not a single troop tried to move out or come in. and that told me the enemy already intended to abandon any forces inside.
That meant the enemy had to gather up another scary army like this, not only that, but he had to gather much more than these forces.
After all, all of the captured forces here ended up working for me. Just seeing the endless and different kinds of troops inside my cube made me laugh for minutes from time to time.
I didn't just get billions of forces, but I gained hundreds of millions of terrifying forces. There were the fiends, the Exomachines, the worms, the high zombies' two kinds, the one eyed giants, the Silences, and even the flying suited dudes.
The enemy gave me tons of locusts, numbering to tens of billions actually. I didn't care that much about them. After all, they weren't that sane, wouldn't follow any order, couldn't fly, couldn't defend, and couldn't take down formidable forces.
But they'd do great in the upcoming grand battles at the twenty worlds.
During the time I was fighting here, my forces scattered all over the nineteen worlds and the two enemy home bases were having brutal fights.
According to the reports constantly delivered by Legend, the enemy depended over the fiends as the highest calibre force in the armies fighting mine.
This was quite expected. The enemy would focus at first in stopping me here. And after losing this bad, I expected the enemy to start moving part of the formidable forces at other worlds to divert my attention.
Anything aside from the scary worms wouldn't be that difficult to deal with by my forces. Yet after the passage of five more days, and clearing almost all of the tens of thousands of miles of area that was filled to the brim with scary enemy forces, I didn't feel any threat of using worms against my forces at any time.
