It'd be quite easy if he asked for the Toranks to help. Yet if he did so, then they'd butt in, ask for a piece of the entire cake even before he'd move a finger against this world.
He didn't want to do this, didn't want to do the dirty work while others would reap benefits from him. Hye grew mature during the apocalypse and learnt lots of lessons. And one of the most important ones was that if he could take something with his own might, then why'd he try to share it with others?
So to do it, he had to ask for help from an old friend, the Bringold impact. He stopped dealing with them the moment he realised they were scamming him. But he needed help outside the Toranks, and so he started negotiating with them.
In return for many bones, the thing that everyone wanted, he gained access to a long course to a place nearby that world. Hye didn't clearly state his intentions, and just asked for a chance to go out and sightseeing lots of places in the universe.
For the Bringold folks, reasons didn't matter. And even if they suspected he was lying, no one ever asked him anything at all.
A contract was signed, and he paid the price in advance. Now all it remained was for him to inform the middleman about the time of his departure, and they'd arrange things over in a day or two.
The journey would take roughly one week to arrive at his destination. During which, Hye was going to visit five different planets, all belonging to forces other than the big three.
He got an alliance with the Toranks, a deep enmity running with the Hescos. As for Hectors, they were also his enemies. He didn't want anyone to learn about his real goal until he'd land in that world and move his forces there.
He knew the moment he'd start his attack, and even without the consent and agreement of the race controlling that world, the Hescos were expected to move out.
Luckily for him, the area that world was didn't have any planets or races under the umbrella of the Hescos. Yet they were under the control of the Hectors. And he didn't know how they'd react to his sudden intrusion and invasion.
Hye wanted to see their stance, as that would determine the future of that world. If the worst happened and that race held deep grudges against him, then they'd move their armies and come at him.
He didn't actually see this as a bad outcome. In his eyes, he wanted such a result. He wanted the Hectors to start fighting him, so he'd find an excuse later on and expand his territory starting from that world.
In his eyes, this world was like a Trojan horse. He studied everything he could find about how things were done in the universe. And he knew even if areas were under the protection of any scary force or race, that didn't mean they had lots of forces stationed everywhere to protect everything.
Even with the portal network, any force would find it hard to mobilise large armies to aid. And that was true thanks to the insane price needed for these forces to use the portals and send armies over.I think you should take a look at
If the region was under the control of the Hescos, then Hye would have suspected their readiness to spend a fortune to get his head and foil his plans. But his enmity with Hectors wasn't that deep, and there was a little chance for them to send tons of forces over to crush his plans.
Given time, any force could move their forces and come to threaten that world. So Hye had to go to the Toranks and strike a deal with them, preferably after the Hectors would attack him.
And even if they didn't, he'd try his best to taunt them. If he failed, then he'd lean towards accepting this little mishap, and look for another target to repeat the same thing.
Time passed fast, and Hye just arrived at the time of his departure. He already informed the Bringold impact about this date two days ago. He was now standing in the middle of his palace, inside a huge garden that was filled with beautiful looking roses and trees.
The palace was situated in the heart of the main grand city in the world. The world had hundreds of continents, and Isac selected the central one to act as the main governing place for the entire kingdom.
The main city was named after Hye, called the Hye City. it spanned to cover a huge stretch of land, almost one third of the size of this continent. The people living here were mainly the high officials and generals, the high-level army leaders and even wealthy families.
Like any place with peace, prosperity was present. It wasn't weird for many merchants to appear, big trade groups, and from all this, rich folks started to appear.
The main trade in the kingdom was focused over things to train one's cultivation or train one's fighting skills and such stuff. The other aspects like trading delicacies, food, herbs, cloths, and others weren't that common in the kingdom.
That was mainly thanks to Hye himself. He directed the general efforts of his kingdom towards preparing for the upcoming great wars.
"Is it time?" Hye was surrounded by many people right now. All of them were the closest and most authoritative figures in his kingdom. Besides his family members as well.
He never expected to feel such love and attachment to his kids. He was born and raised in a harsh environment, never felt the warmth to be loved by a father and mother.
But when his first kid was born, a girl, he felt like something in his heart got softened. And the more kids he got, the more love he felt towards them.
In his eyes, they were the most precious gems he had in his entire life, the shining stars that made him firmly decide to take such a step and start such an ambitious adventure.
