Everywhere all the races were fighting against my forces in deadly and desperate battles. Even if they were losing at many frontlines, they kept trying to take down as much as they could with them.
But on the bright side, the second Earth world kept giving more troops for Lily to use. If not for that, things would be much worse by now.
The bad news was that we were losing in almost seventy percent of all the battles that we were fighting. The hardest enemies we were facing were the Hescos for sure, followed by the Hectors, the Drags, and Berserkers.
These included two of my former allied forces, and they seemed to hold lots of grudges against me to fight this hard and in such brutality and determination. Or perhaps it was the allure of more gains once they took me down or something.
Anyway, I kept giving instructions for Lily to try and limit our losses. At the same time, I asked her to start gathering up more forces in the second Earth world or even here.
It was time for the final showdown of all this once I'd clear things here. But only me wasn't enough, or it was enough but it'd take lots of time to do so.
This world wasn't like Earth, it was like a hundred times the Earth. So it was better for me to have grand armies at my disposal. That'd help me a lot in clearing lots of battles and controlling many continents.
Thinking about this made me feel ironic. When I was starting to grow strong, building up my kingdom down the first brick, I always had the problem of having too many armies without enough generals to lead.
And right now it felt totally opposite! I got lots of free generals, capable and good ones, but without enough forces for them to lead.
If not for the second Earth world, the time difference there, the magical effect of breeding new generations with each passing year, if not for Silverlining and his constant help by providing endless supply of warriors to here, I'd have ended up in a very tight spot.
Not to mention the help gaining nineteen races and adding them to my forces. I didn't yet clear all of the continents, but almost saved one third of the total population of these races.
They were strong, unique, and valiant. They held tons of grudges against my enemies, endless veneration and respect for me. If not for the damn jumper race, then I'd be scoring a perfect twenty out of twenty here.
But that didn't matter. Those jumpers weren't that trustworthy race to begin with. Just watching the jumper and how he was messing things over at his end all the time made it clear how good it was to not add these untrustworthy folks to my side.
The only way to bring balance again to the outer battles was by starting to store out more warriors and armies on my side. I gave her a one month period, a most reasonable timeline for my mission here.
I knew that once I stepped out of here, I'd have to struggle without the help of my warriors and deadly fighters. So I wouldn't be able to get out of here before clearing everything first. Then I'd be able to fight freely out there without worrying about this place.
"She mentioned something about bombs… And from my understanding, she has to prepare some sort of hellish energy source, enough to shake all the fifty continents together and detonate the bombs… But where is that damn thing then?"
I knew such a thing of such calibre wasn't going to be hidden at all. In my best estimates, she must have prepared a secured place, one with sturdy shields to sustain fire on the other continents.
I already left all of the other continents belonging to the enemy under merciless fire. And as she intended to leave here, it meant she prepared something for a long time on one of these continents.
But what was it? I couldn't tell. All I could do for now was to warn Lily, tell her to send folks over to these continents once the fire died down.
I got the power to trigger the shields' brutal attack wave once I cleared a spot here. But I didn't plan to do that. It'd delay the efforts of seeking this hidden place much longer.
What if she prepared a time trigger for this weapon? Like if a month passed or something without her returning back then her people would activate that weapon?
I thought about going in my chariot and interrogating her, and I really tried. But this attempt ended up with a big failure. If I got anything from her, then it was to confirm my early doubts.
From the confident look on her face, the one that looked like someone was accepting the fact to take down his deadliest enemy down with him when I met her, told me a lot about her plans.
Damn this lady… Damn those enemies… They really are hard to deal with!
So I left this task over to Lily while spending the rest of my time killing those Valkyries. I tried once to use my deadly bones, to find out that they weren't that effective at all.
The Valkyries seemed to be made out of hellish sort of fire. And so using another fire against them was like giving them a warm bath or something.
As this method didn't work, I knew trying to use the bubble plan would fail. I tried and it indeed was quite useless. And that left me with one option only.
I held my glaive, controlled my chariot, and started to roam this continent, killing all the Valkyries and trees that I could find.
The good news about these Valkyries was that they were weak against physical strength and attacks. But the bad news was that each time a few of them died, it triggered something like some sort of big explosion.
