Chapter 1157 The World Of Sand

The moment the jumper passed through the light curtain, I opened my channel and opened his own feed subchannel.

There I saw a world slightly different from ours. It was a world filled with sand, looking like a grand desert or something.

The entire world around me was empty. Only storms of sand appeared all over the place. I even saw one huge sand tornado moving away at the horizon.

"Lucky bastard," I muttered when I saw this, "the world you selected is void of danger and enemies."

If I wasn't sure that the portal opened in a random world at a random location, I'd doubt that jumper to know the nature of the world it went to invade before taking these bold steps of his.

Just when I was about to close the channel and start opening another world portal, something new developed in the world the jumper ventured at.

The first batch of his forces arrived, scattered over a large area over the world of sand. Just as the first batches appeared, something different happened at the sand world.

I couldn't hear much of what was happening out there, but I knew there were loud bangs as many places covered in sand changed and showed what explosions would cause out there.

The ground shook, and many fountains of sand appeared from different places. At others, mushroom looking sand clouds appeared without a warning.

I didn't know what happened, but I was sure this wasn't normal. I focused and saw a few shadows appearing from the zones that showed such changes.

When I looked closer, I got to see strange shaped creatures, running on four, covered all over with dense sand clouds.

When these weird looking things appeared closer, I could see their shapes clearly.

"Zombies!" They were zombies, different from the ones we were fighting all this time in our world.

The jumper was in the middle of all this. So the moment changes happened, he didn't wait to see what was coming.

He knew one way or another, the ones coming at him were enemies and not friends.

His timely response saved the lives of his soldiers without doubt. When zombies appeared in their weird shapes, it was already close to the jumper and his forces.

As the jumper gave orders to prepare their defences at a good moment, the zombies couldn't do anything to them at first.

The first waves of enemies weren't that much. Only their weird appearances and the way they came to attack the jumper and his forces were the only risky factor they faced.

Aside from that, the strength of these zombies was limited without doubt.

The jumper led his forces to crash over the incoming zombies. He held his ground better and didn't give any room for the zombies to bring him or his men lots of trouble.

Seeing this made me wonder how he was this unlucky each time I gave him an army to lead. Every single time, no matter who his enemy was, he ended up losing most of his forces.

If he was this experienced and capable, then why did he suck this bad before? Or wasn't he even trying his best before?

I couldn't tell, to be honest.

Just as the early waves came to harass the jumper, more started to come from the distant regions.

The feed I got was limited by the vision of the jumper. So I switched over and checked the live feed I got from the portal itself.

This time, I could see the world as a whole. Taking the portal as a centre, I could see an area surrounding it for hundreds of miles.

And when I saw this region, I was shocked to see all this area starting to shake and tremble, showing off dense heaps of zombies coming at the jumper without any pause.

An area expanded for hundreds of miles was filled only with zombies and without any safe route outside. This was insane!

I couldn't see any towns or cities, not a single sign of any civilisation at all. This made me crazy, and I wondered what was going to happen to the jumper.

Wait, was this dude the bringer of bad luck or what? He acted perfectly fine, but he ended up in such a scary situation that was enough to take away most of his forces.

Even if he was a genius, he wouldn't be able to save most of his forces this way.

"All the armies with the jumper... Move forward and join the brutal fight!" as I recognised the level of danger and the nature of threat this dude was going to face, I hurriedly gave orders to all the generals in his expedition group.

"Did he pump into Hescos?" Lily was holding her breath, seemingly expecting the worst.

But even if he was matched up with Hescos, I knew this wasn't going to be as bad as the current situation he was facing.

Appearing in the middle of such gigantic den of zombies? And I couldn't tell anything about the place or extent of this den? This was quite scary.

The only good piece of news here was the level of these zombies. They weren't that high levelled, making the task of killing them not that hard to achieve.

But considering the huge area the zombies were coming from, the jumper and his forces were going to have it bad without doubt.

Alone such a task wasn't going to be done at all. Even the jumper might have killed himself.

That was why I gave the order for other forces and generals to start moving out.

"No, he found himself in the middle of a huge zombie den," I said, not keeping my voice low. I wanted everyone to know what they were pumping themselves into before heading there.

"Are they high levelled zombies?" one of the generals going to aid the jumper asked.

"No, they are weak, but they seem endless!" I knew giving them false hope wasn't going to work.

Chapter 1158 The Universe Is Scary!

They got to know how hard this task was. So I made sure they didn't just feel reassured by the low levels of these zombies.

Even the harmless ants could eventually bring down a mighty elephant.

"Form a defensive formation once there," I said my last orders to the generals entering the portal of light, "once there, let the jumper and his soldiers do the killing. Expand the territory, use the top guns to kill far away zombies. Then I'll send over people to help build walls, castles, and defensive towers for you."

I knew this kind of world was going to be the worst to be met out there. So just sending out armies wasn't going to work.

If there wasn't a city over there, then I'd make sure to build one myself. I had this portal here to keep sending reinforcements over to them. Even if they couldn't come back, they wouldn't run short of reinforcements.

"Isac, you know what to do," I didn't even turn to Isac while giving her such an order.

"Leave it to me," she paused, "but do they have resources out there?"

"Make preparations," I knew the world there was filled with sand, nothing more. It looked like a barren world, as if an apocalypse hit there tens of thousands of years ago and changed the entire landscape of the planet.

I didn't know if that place had any valuable resources. And above all, I didn't know if this place was just an exception or the entire world was like that.

When such thought crossed my mind, my body instantly and reflexively shivered. The meaning of having such a barren world with no living race there meant one thing for me; a place for dark realm monsters.

"I wanted to hunt dark realm monsters badly for a long time, and now I may have a chance," I thought to myself, amused by the bad luck of that jumper.

Now I get why he always ended up losing most of his forces. My thoughts travelled fast backward, recalling the first time I met him.

I got the class he was supposed to compete for. And above all, he always failed to complete the apocalypse to reach quest fifteen. And he lost his man as well.

Was the jumper this unlucky? Was he branded with a bad luck curse or something?

The plan was simple. As the forces going there would start fighting and expanding the area we controlled, Isac would bring resources and workers to build real defences there.

I wasn't exaggerating when I thought about it before. If there was no city to control here, then we would build one using our hands and resources.

The only drawback about this was that this passageway was a one way ticket. I could send forces and people there, but wouldn't be able to retrieve any back.

It wasn't a big issue for the moment. I doubted that in the entire world, there wouldn't be a single city or town with a functional portal.

However when I thought about the possibility of this world being a dark realm one, I frowned a bit.

I didn't know much about these dark worlds. If the lack of races affected the world, then I would also suspect the presence of any working portal.

Or else the dark realm monsters would be capable of passing between many worlds, crushing many linked with the portals.

I watched for one more hour. The situation there didn't change much. Except for expanding the reach of the territory there to cover up almost ten mile square area, there was nothing much to watch.

The killing was going like it was something natural over there. Many forces fanned out to defend the occupied land and try to expand it.

At the end of this hour, Isac started to send men and resources over. Of course using weak men to rebuild this place wasn't needed that much. I could just order the armed forces there to do such a thing.

But that would take much time and effort, besides that the world wasn't safe yet.

If it was a real dark realm world, then things were destined to go south for them out there. Not to mention my opinion about the jumper changed drastically from this moment onward.

This dude was cursed with back luck. Such a poor soul couldn't be entrusted to lead any army or be responsible for any project without the risk of damaging everything in the process.

So something told me that things out there would end up quite bad for everyone as long as that dude was there.

And the worst thing was that I couldn't possibly drag his ass back into Earth. Until they'd find a portal over a town or a city that was working, then they would be kept trapped in there for a long time.

I got a way to solve their predicament, but I refrained from taking such a step for now. I wasted enough time watching the first world invaded by my people. And frankly speaking, the first world gave me an unpleasant surprise and taught me a valuable lesson.

The universe was vast, and no one would be arrogant enough to call himself invincible or pretty prepared for anything.

I spent lots of my time thinking that my worst enemies out there would be the Hescos or the zombies. But right now, and in the first world that I invaded, a shocking realisation hit me.

There were still many scary things out there that might endanger my plans. One of them was these dark realm monsters, formidable and scary foes that I never thought about.

This universe... It was really scary!

"Next batch, get ready," this time I didn't ask for a single hero to explore the world. I learnt from my mistake, and knew that underestimating the worlds here was a grave sin.

Without the need for me to say anymore, Lily arranged the next batch of generals and armies to be ready to move out.

Then like the first portal, I used another ticket and opened it in less than half an hour.

Chapter 1159 It's Time To Test This Theory

This time I didn't need to wait cluelessly about how to activate it. I shouted when it was done, and the magical worlds opened the portal.

As the first batch of my brave fighters entered the world, I saw a scene similar to Earth. Plain fields appeared all over the place, and there were few scattered towns and cities.

"Zombies!" but amidst all these towns and cities, I found a grand number of zombies. They appeared outside the towns and cities, encircling them as if they were protecting some sort of a treasure.

"Zombies have dens out there... What luck!" it went without saying that these towns and cities were already conquered and controlled by zombies.

Chaos brought out by zombies weren't an exclusive thing for my Earth. The plague of zombies hit that world hard it seemed, and now many towns and cities were turned into dens.

"Do they need more reinforcements?" Lily asked without a speck of worry. We were dealing with zombies for a long time already. And we got tons of fighters waiting on the side.

"Not now," I didn't hurry to send out any more armies. Even if the world out there looked bad, there were still a few cities and towns in the distance which hadn't been controlled yet.

The controlled cities and towns still had their five portals high in the sky. But they looked a bit dim. I didn't know if by conquering the dens these portals would function again or what.

"Send my order, groups of zombie races will be tasked to go there and free these dens."

"Can they do that?!" Lily and Isac spoke at the same time, and the two weren't the only ones showing such shock.

I already gave out clues and hints about the possibility of such a thing. But I haven't used anything like that yet in our world here.

So none seemed to trust or believe in this. They were just like me, sceptical about this weird hypothesis

I got my reasons to not use this way here. The dens that were completed were all high grade ones. Unlike here, the dens appearing in the other world seemed to be all low grade.

They were normal dens, the kind that Loran promised to work on with utter confidence.

"Just send the word to Loran," I didn't explain much, "he knows what to do. Tell him these dens are all low level ones, and there are more than fifty out there. And this is just the start."

"Ok," Lily didn't have much trust in this tactic, just like me. But I got a guinea pig at last to experiment upon.

The magical solution provided by Loran wasn't just useful in my world. Its biggest benefit was out there. When facing such a dire situation, using these zombie race methods to clear the dens would provide great aid for my expedition armies.

It was like this, I wanted to conquer the worlds out there but I lacked foundation. Zombies already struck hard in these worlds and gained strong footholds there. If we could flip the switch and turn all these places ruled by zombies into ours, then we would have nothing to worry about.

All the zombie land would turn into our land eventually, and without losing too much. Besides, this plan would also grant us many portals linked to here. And that would allow me to send out many elites, even myself included, without the worry of not returning back.

In a few minutes, I saw tens of thousands of zombie race elites racing towards the portal. They seemed excited, as if they found honour in doing such a task.

I watched them without saying anything. And as they started entering the other world, Loran also came.

"Lord, it's time to see for yourself the truth I told you about," he said these words and then remained silent. He couldn't watch what was going on at the other end like me, but he looked confident and worry free.

It was like he got zero doubt about the success of his plan. And I hoped his confidence wouldn't be groundless or overestimated.

Once there, I saw the zombie race got divided into many teams. I thought they sent over all these elites to make sure they would control the dens fast and without any room for error.

But when I saw all of them divided into groups of one hundred each, I knew they were playing according to the rules they announced before.

Loran was this confident. I gave him a deep glance before turning my attention again towards what was happening in the other world.

After the initial wave of armies appeared, they fanned out and each started hitting against a large group of zombies.

It was the first time for me to see the real zombie den. The zombies changed from being reckless and mindless into something close to being a territorial species.

As my armies appeared, the zombies didn't venture outward and meet them. Instead their numbers kept increasing while showing signs of their intention to defend the dens.

This was a weird sight to see to be honest. And it gave me a little explanation about the reason for the turtle zombie underwater den and why the zombies coming out from it didn't move in large numbers yet.

It seemed they were waiting for something, like a benchmark goal of numbers or increase in their strength or something like that. That meant the scary zombies at the southern and northern waters weren't going to attack anytime soon.

But the moment they would, things would look really ugly.

"I need to fortify these regions a bit more," I reached this conclusion.

Amidst my wait for the zombie race elites to join the fray, the fight over the dens started already. Once my fighters got close to the towns and cities controlled by the zombies, the zombies couldn't take it anymore and started running at them.

Chapter 1160 Zombie Dens

It looked scary! Millions upon millions of crazed zombies sprinted out from inside the walls of towns and cities. I found it hard to believe such a small space would accommodate such a large number of zombies.

But from what I could see, there seems no end to their numbers. It looked like there was a bottomless abyss inside these dens, making me wonder about the fate of my armies.

The fight started hot, and blood splashed in crazy fashion all over the ground. Once the first lines of each army clashed with zombies, the backfire of the grand weapons launched.

And the world then exploded mercilessly under the heavy fire of these weapons.

Rocket launchers, modified tanks, and even helicopters started to join the fray. With their addition, the entire situation shifted to my favour.

No matter how many zombies were inside these dens, with the concentrated deadly fire of my human firearms, endless zombies bathed under deadly heat and fire, and died in dreadful explosions.

The ones controlling these deadly arms were geniuses! They didn't aim towards the zombies fighting the armies outside the dens, but aimed directly at the dens themselves.

Lacking any means of actual defence, all the fire landed and exploded in the perimeter of these dens. All I could see was a dense number of mushroom looking clouds, and violent sweeps of shockwaves that were violent enough to knock out the walls of cities and towns.

In a few minutes, the entire zone filled with dens and endless zombies changed. The zombie started to lose, and their reinforcements stopped coming in an awe inspiring scene.

Then the zombie race elites arrived!

It was a long awaited scene for me. I totally focused over the many groups sprinting without any regard to dangers around, heading directly towards the exploding dens.

During this time, my various armies already managed to gain a good control over the situation. With the help of the constant bombardment over the dens, the zombies lacked any reinforcement coming from inside the cities and towns.

So the dead zombies weren't replaced this fast with other fresh ones. And in the end, the armies finally reached the outer demolished walls of the dens.

When the walls fell, I managed to see what was inside each town and city. It was like a giant beast opening his mouth and ready to devour everything. It was total darkness, only black colour prevailed there.

Zombies kept coming out from the edge of these holes, but I couldn't see their bodies clearly until they escaped the dens.

When the zombie elites reached close to the den, they didn't venture inside as I imagined. Instead, they asked for the help of the other forces around, and together they started surrounding the cities and towns in a big circle.

The one hundred group of zombie elites stood around the den, each raising their fist high in the air. When I watched their stance closely, I found out that they already cut deep wounds at their raised right fists, allowing the blood to flow out.

Unlike common sense, the blood doesn't flow downward. Instead it moved outward, as if blood wasn't affected by gravity at all.

Things looked weird, but I waited to see what they wanted to do. The blood kept flowing, and another weird thing happened.

The blood once departed away from the bodies of the zombie elites for a few tens of metres, it started to stop, stretch outwards and move over like it was forming a grand circle or something in the air.

The blood oozing out from one hundred zombie elites began to coalesce together, forming a giant blood circle in the air.

The bloody circle surrounded the dens and once it got completed, the circle started to show another change.

It was like this bloody circle was unfolding, releasing a thin red curtain down to the ground. The process seemed to be slow, though for a reason, not a single zombie came out from the den when that happened.

The moment the bloody circle was formed, the den showed signs of malfunction.

"They should be releasing their blood right now," all of sudden, all silent by my side Loran started speaking. It was as if he was watching the same feed as me. And that made me give him a weird look.

"I know how my people act, and the time they need to do what's needed," he simply shrugged, and I couldn't tell if he was bluffing or telling the truth.

"Bloody circles are already formed," I didn't hide this from him.

"Then the dens should stop working," he confirmed my earlier doubts by what he just said. It seemed there was more to these bloody circles than what would meet the eye.

He didn't say anything anymore, and I returned to focus on the current situation in the other world. During the time I spoke with Loran, the entire dens were now surrounded by a bloody curtain, covering almost half of a ball around the dens.

I thought these bloody circles would then continue to cover up the dens in a bloody ball, but they didn't. The moment these dens got covered, I felt trembling happening at the thin bloody film extending down from it.

It looked like a drum getting hammered heavily by a giant drumstick. But I couldn't hear any sound, and I doubted such changes brought over any sound at all.

While I was wondering what was going to happen, a weird thing occurred. The all black potholes taking over what was formerly known as towns and cities began to show a new change over.

The black colour started to shift and fade away, showing a weird pale redness that seemed to invade the dens.

I knew this wasn't true. The redness seemed to be there all the time, masked by the thick veil of darkness.

And for a reason, the darkness began to fade away. While I was puzzled, the voice of Loran next to me jolted me awake, answering my doubts.

Chapter 1161 Black Turns Into Red

"They should be cleansing the darkness over the dens by now," he paused, and I looked at him as if I was looking at a fortune teller or something.

He seemed to notice my weird gaze, so he added in explanation, "the darkness is what keeps our people down there sleeping. To wake them up, we need to clear this darkness and then feed the all sleepy zombies with our energy."

"The bloody circle and curtain?" I asked, and he nodded.

I knew how they were going to make their sleeping people wake up. It made quite sense, but I still couldn't fully grasp how they did it.

I returned to watch what was going on in that world. As the blackness started to recede, more redness appeared in each den.

The process this time took longer than I expected. And I noticed something else. The one hundred elites of the zombie race showed signs of fatigue and weakness.

Such a process was indeed taxing over their powers. And now I realised why dealing with high grade zombie dens wasn't going to work on the same basis.

Just dealing with such a low levelled den took such a toll over one hundred of these elites. When I imagined working against a high grade zombie den, I knew things would be much different.

Even if one hundred thousand elites participated, they wouldn't be able to break all the darkness and wash them away with their powers.

And just as I kept watching, I got to know another reason for Loran's refusal to test this method over a high grade den.

The process of cleaning the darkness off each den took almost six hours. Then when the darkness vanished, all that remained was scarlet redness that turned the dens from deep abysses into burning hells.

Then I saw the bloody curtains move in unison, as if some sort of gravity was pulling them towards the centre of these dens.

When the curtain of red blood moved closer, their colours started to fade away instead of intensifying. It was obvious that they were condensing right now, getting smaller with each passing minute.

Yet unlike what common sense would imply, the redness there didn't show any signs of brightening up, but feeling like it was close to fade away.

"The redness of the bloody curtains are fading away while getting closer to the dens. Why is that?" As I lacked any explanation about this, I turned to Loran and shared my doubts with him.

"It's not fading away," Loran got what I was talking about, "they are giving out their energy while getting closer from the dens. So they are going to grow weaker until they finally fade away."

His explanation made quite sense. And I got why the bloody circles got weaker the closer they came to the dens.

I didn't ask anymore and went to observe what was going on in the other world. After half an hour, the entire bloody curtain vanished by now, and nothing seemed to remain behind.

If I wasn't looking before at what happened, I'd say the darkness was switched by its own into pure redness.

After a few minutes of waiting, another change occurred.

This time, the redness of the den showed a turbulence that would appear over any lake surface after tossing out a rock there. The calm and still redness started to change, and ripples appeared as if someone was throwing rocks there.

When I looked closer, I got that all these ripples came from a single point in each den. I got an idea about what was causing all these changes, but I had to wait to see.

After two more hours, the ripples grew from being weak waves into massive bubbles coming from the depth of these hellish pits and bursting open at the surface, causing more violent waves to appear.

Then after three more hours, a head finally appeared.

It appeared like a small speck of pale yellow dot that seemed to belong to a bald man. If I didn't watch this zone closely, I'd miss that.

When the head appeared, it seemed as if the owner of this head was struggling to break free from something. Hands appeared next and started to splash the red surface as if he was fighting against water, resisting the demise of drowning under such weird red fluid.

After watching these people fight against that reddish fluid for another hour, one by one rose up for almost half of their bodies, giving me a clear look over their looks.

They were zombies! Just like Loran and others.

I couldn't hear any sound from that world, but when these zombies rose up slightly, they opened their mouths and gave a silent cry in my eyes.

But when that cry sounded, I saw ripples of air spreading all over the red surface around them, ending up causing a massive response all over the red liquid there.

Then one by one, these zombies fell deep down these red lakes, vanished without leaving behind a single bubble or ripple behind.

"Are they dead?" I couldn't help but feel worried over this. But when I looked at Loran's calm face by my side, I knew things weren't that bad.

I returned to look at the red dens, but nothing new happened. When I looked over the hundreds of zombie elites around the dens, I saw the calm expression over their faces.

Even many had weird excited expressions over their faces, like they were witnessing something they lunged for a long time already.

I was sure things were going on according to their plans, and that made me wait a bit longer for the final result.

All this time, I hoped such a solution would succeed. And even when I hoped for that, I didn't believe such a magical solution would exist.

But seeing all this unfolding in front of me raised my hopes by leaps and bounds. I waited, and after three more hours of wait, I finally noticed something.

Chapter 1162 Hescos Appear

It was like the redness in the dens was getting smaller as if someone was absorbing this fluid. I didn't know what was going on down inside these dens, but it seemed these zombies from earlier were responsible for that.

"They should be on the verge of waking up," Loran suddenly said, and I felt a gentle pat on my shoulders as he did that, "lord, this process will take at least one day to finish. You can start working on other worlds while this process ends."

"I see," I nodded, realising this was going to be a long period to wait. I just opened access to two worlds, and now I have twenty more waiting up.

"Next batch get yourselves ready," I shouted while taking out a third ticket and started to activate it.

After the pillar of light appeared, the armies ventured forward and nothing much happened there. The new world was one filled with normal races. They controlled a cluster of towns and cities, and they got decent defences there.

This race was like turtles, having small oval shaped shells that were engraved with small lines. These shells covered up their elbows and wrists, making them look like they got knuckles over these parts.

Their eyes were deep and unfathomable, but didn't give me any sense of danger at all. I knew this race might be considered decent, but they were far from being powerful.

I watched for an hour while my forces started to bring death and chaos over this race. I didn't like the idea of ruining the lives of such a race, but this was the apocalypse.

If one was weak, he'd end up getting eaten instead of living his life to its fullest potential.

After one hour, I lost interest in watching anymore. My forces were just doing great out there, crushing all their foes and claiming their lands and defences.

They didn't find any challenge in that race. And the fact that such a race was living in such a way in that world meant the lack of any real predator in the areas around.

It would be good if my guesses were true. Like this, my forces there would have a good time fortifying their defences and getting ready for the real predators in this world.

Another thing worthy of note was the lack of any zombies there. For a moment, I doubted zombies even appeared. But it meant this race paid a hefty price to control the situation, just like what my forces did in this world.

But they were nothing compared to my forces. And that made me doubt if the zombie apocalypse hit them for real or not.

As I lost interest, I started to open the next portal. A passageway appeared and a group of leaders led their armies through.

Yet the moment they passed and appeared there, my face changed.

"Hescos!"

I gritted my teeth while looking at the world my forces appeared at. If it was a normal base like the previous world, I wouldn't feel such surprise.

But the world was filled with tons of Hescos, leading other races around. From a single glance, I came to a shocking realisation.

These Hescos seemed to have a way to locate where my forces would appear. Or else how come they'd be this prepared?

Even I, the one controlling these tickets, had zero control over the places my forces would appear at.

Out there, my forces appeared in an empty area of tens of miles. While looking at the grand scene, one would be shocked to see walls, towers, and all defensive fortifications appearing all around this zone, cutting off any way of getting out from here.

Hescos cladded in their suits appeared in great numbers. They controlled the ground and the sky. And I knew they must have legions digging under ground as well.

As for other races, they started to step forward to meet up with my forces. They looked strong, with giant and strong looking bodies. They held different weapons, and they looked quite a force.

But seeing such grand force stepping forward while the Hescos remained behind made me know they were treated as cannon fodders.

It might seem wild to do such a thing, but they looked more like my warriors and enslaved races I gained from my world.

But after the first moment of shock, I controlled myself. My mind spinned fast, and I didn't lose my cool again.

"Send more weapons and teams with suits over," I didn't look away from the live feed of this world as I gave orders for the nearby Lily.

"Are there Hescos?" she was smart to get what I meant by this order. If I wanted more of these anti-Hescos forces then it meant there were Hescos over there.

"We are going to test the weapons and suits first," I wasn't feeling any worry at all, slowly explaining what I wanted to do.

It was shocking how these Hescos found out about the location my forces would appear at. And seeing all these forces ready for my forces made my blood boil.

I wanted to go out there and join the fun! But if I did, I wouldn't be able to return anytime soon. And this wasn't going to be the only world we'd meet Hescos like that.

I got the feeling that what happened here wasn't just a coincidence. If we appeared in the middle of a large army of Hescos, then this could be called a coincidence.

But we appeared in the middle of what we could call a fortress. This wasn't coincidental at all. And so I controlled my excitement and desire to fight, and started to think about how to maximise this encounter.

I wasn't worried about losing this fight. Facing Hescos might be hard for others, but I trained tons of forces already to be able to fight them on equal grounds.

If they got elites, so did I. if they had races helping them in the fight, I got my warriors as well.

Chapter 1163 Brutal Fight

Thinking on a grander view, my forces got the upper hand in the end. After all, we got similar suits to them, and also deadly weapons as well.

They lacked such big guns, and so their chances of winning got diminished by a lot.

"Should we send warriors?" Lily asked in obvious worry and clear fear.

"No, these forces are enough as a warm up," I kept looking while the two sides were getting closer with each passing minute.

The distance of tens of miles couldn't be rapidly crossed. It would take almost an hour for the two sides to come in contact. And through this I kept sending more forces there, with big guns and more forces with suits.

But my orders were clear. The big guns had to be kept hidden until the Hecsos joined the fray. The same would apply to the suit forces as well.

These were the big surprises I arranged for the Hescos. They were so generous in preparing such a warm welcome party for me, and I had to match their gift in return.

My forces didn't start running for long before they stood their ground. They were smart enough to know they were fighting against an unfavourable situation.

Simply running forward like this was going to end up quite bad. The grand general leading this expedition was one of the Hectors. He must be pissing in his pants at the moment, but he was doing a good job so far.

As the forces stopped after crossing five mile distance, they started to fan out and form a dense circle of defence. The enemy was coming from all directions, and it was wise to not expand the lands my forces ruled or else the defensive lines would have gaps within.

Inside the outer circle formed by my forces, more circles began to take shape. There was enough distance between each circular line of defence, obviously some sort of defensive tactic.

In terms of military experience, I could honestly say that Hectares were geniuses. They weren't just excellent at training forces, but leading armies as well.

Seeing the entire forces forming these lines made me wonder about what that grand general's aim was. After one hour, the first lines of hostile races came at last, and the frontlines started to fight a bloody one from the start.

In just a few minutes, I could tell that my forces were much fiercer than their opponents. All the hellish training of my forces brought fruit at last, and I could see the races coming, unable to break the few lines at the outermost region.

This was a relief. If these races proved to be well trained, then this fight would take an ugly turn. But now the Hescos were left without any option but to join the battle themselves.

As the killing continued, I started to take out my warriors, letting them gather around this portal.

I wouldn't need them soon, but when time would come, they should be prepared to join the fray. I took out tons of stat points and let them feed upon them. At the same time, I sent an urgent request for more resources and a few special items from Silverlining.

[So that means you already began? Why didn't you tell me?]

Instead of hassling about what I asked for, this dude just complained about me not sharing the news with him.

[What? As if you will watch what is going on here!]

[Sure! Not only me, but all the sovereigns I know of are eager to watch]

[But I got no direct feed from these worlds]

[Do you think such things can stop us? Hahaha! We have invested a ton in you, and so we already arranged things beforehand to watch your performance]

[Alright then, spread the word and start watching] I rolled my eyes. For a moment there, I felt like I was a performer for their entertainment. I felt a little annoyed, but didn't dwindle much about this.

As he said, they invested too much in me. And it was normal for them to just see the fruit of their investment.

I returned to watch and saw my forces killing their enemies without any suspense.

"What? Don't tell me they plan to just stick at the back and do nothing," after two hours, the hostile races failed to crush more than dozens of lines. And the Hescos kept their silence, watching from a distance as if they weren't bothered by such losses.

But when I wondered about that, a new change appeared out there.

The ground shook, seemingly like some sort of a violent earthquake striking this region. Then the land gushed open from beneath, like volcanoes were about to erupt.

The places that such a thing happened were just in the midzone of the entire defensive line up of my forces there. And without the need to wait to see who was coming, I knew they were the ground legions of these Hescos.

They finally started to move out!

And as the ground shook, the Hescos standing all in wait all this time out there started to move out. Flying legions of Hescos started to spread out, coming fast like dense clouds of locusts.

At the same time, the ground showed a thick curtain of different colours, as the ground troops of Hescos moved out. They all used the strength of their suits, coming hard and fast at my forces.

Their tactic was indeed great. They aimed directly to take out half of my stationed forces out there. And if they succeeded to link their three types of units, this would grow ugly for sure.

But that depended entirely on that if.

The moment the ground Hescos troops appeared and the distant forces came, the all silent big guns started to shine in bright light.

Then a torrent of attacks flew fast, landed at the distant Hescos without any warning.

I couldn't hear anything, but seeing all these bright flashes that formed huge roses of death clouds made me imagine the rumbling noises of these explosions.

Chapter 1164 Legion Of War Suits

The attack came in sudden fashion, taking the incoming Hescos by surprise.

The Hescos never imagined my forces kept such a big hand hidden. And what gave them more surprise was the fact that these attacks dealt great harm to the Hescos.

​ The Hescos were a proud race, very confident in their suits. They had no reason to doubt their suits to take such hits and defend against such attacks without failing.

But reality proved them wrong. Just watching them from afar forced a big smile on my face. I could see loads of Hescos dying and much more getting different degrees of wounds.

The Hescos never escaped such deadly attacks. Even the flying ones didn't fare any better than the ones at the ground.

Many were killed, and many more were wounded. But that wasn't what made me grin in such content and happiness.

When the first wave of attacks landed, another wave of attacks started to follow. And in the middle of all this mess, the forces with suits who laid all this time in wait started to move.

The waves of attack came towards the distant Hescos. But that meant the ones that appeared from the ground in the middle of my forces were free.

Leaving such force unhindered would bring more trouble to my forces. And thinking about using the big guns against this group was insane.

The missiles and rockets used wouldn't differentiate between a friend or a foe. So using the forces with suits was the best way to handle such a tricky situation.

And above all, I admired the timing that the grand general used the forces with suits to handle the Hescos in the middle of my forces.

This was a simple move, but it meant that the grand general was indeed a genius. I loved having more of such brilliant and capable generals by my side.

I saw my human arsenal of big guns in action before. But I didn't get the chance to watch these suits.

I still had one stored in my inventory, and I didn't get time to play with it. But if these suits proved to be strong, then I'd surely start using my own suit.

I looked over and the first thing I noticed was these suits enabled their wearers to fly. And their flying speed was quite fast.

Long trails of smoke gushed out from their backs, leaving behind long lines of different coloured smoke while the suit owners were flying towards their foes.

Just from looking at this scene from my perspective, I felt how strong these suits were.

The overall number of these suit owners was in hundreds of thousands. But weirdly enough, only ten thousands moved out while the rest lied in wait.

The more I looked at such an arrangement, the more I admired this grand general's mind and military tactics.

Even when he got such a chance to hit the enemy hard, he didn't lose his cool and kept thinking about further steps ahead.

Keeping most of the suit owners behind was a risky move, but it was worth it. Even I couldn't say for sure that these ten thousand suit owners were enough to handle the hundreds of thousands of Hescos scattered among my forces.

But if he made such a decision, he must have his reasons. And like this, most of the suit force would be kept hidden, giving the enemy a false impression without doubt.

That was a good move. I wouldn't even think about doing such a thing. After all, I didn't need any tricks like these to trick the enemy. If I spotted an enemy, I'd use everything in my power to crush him without showing mercy.

The sight of these incoming suits attracted the attention of the Hescos coming out from the ground. I knew their tactic required the digging Hescos to work as vanguards, distracting the defensive troops and messing with their lines.

Then when the aerial and ground Hescos would arrive, only massacre awaited my forces.

However they never expected me to have such deadly weapons. Right now the aerial and ground Hescos troops were struggling to march forward, even stepping over the dead bodies of their kind with each mile they crossed.

Their advancement speed got lowered dramatically, and they even showed many gaps in their tight and formidable formation.

That was expected. But despite all these losses, they kept pressing forward.

If one looked at this situation, he might think the grand general of the Hescos was poorly performing. However I knew he was forced to do that.

If he stopped the attack, then hundreds of thousands of Hescos would be massacred. Even if he decided to sacrifice these forces, he couldn't protect the faraway Hescos without fully withdrawing from this battleground.

Hescos built tons of defences, sacrificed lots of time and resources to turn this place into such an impregnable fort. But weirdly against their expectations and planning, they were the ones thinking about running away, not my forces.

It was funny. But thinking about running away and leaving all these things behind was a grave mistake.

This might be considered a tight defensive formation made out by the Hescos. But if my forces controlled this region, then all these defences would turn out to be serving my troops.

In other words, these defences would turn from being a knife threatening my forces' throats, into a mighty shield protecting them.

If the Hescos thought again about coming to my forces, they'd have to pay a much heftier price than they were paying right now. And victory wasn't even guaranteed on top of that.

They couldn't escape from here, couldn't retreat and station themselves at the forts and walls they built. The only way they got there was to keep moving forward. And by that, they got to suffer more deadly strikes from my big guns.

Watching them suffer made me happy. I even laughed at their struggle. They thought high and haughty of themselves. Least they expected me to be a nut hard to crack.

Chapter 1165 A Sudden Turn Of Events

At this moment, the flying suits finally came above the grand number of the Hescos in the middle of my forces.

These Hescos did what they were ordered to do. They started killing, creating gaps in the middle of my forces. But without any offence from the outside to aid them, these efforts were pointless.

All the dead soldiers were replaced with others, the gaps they worked hard to create were all amended and closed by more forces coming from the central zone.

And while these Hescos were burning their fuel to make any difference, my flying suit's small lesion appeared.

When they came, I noticed the forces surrounding the Hescos retreating, creating a large gap between them and these Hescos.

While the Hescos tried to chase them, the suited people landed and started to fight.

The first wave of attack was some sort of rocket. They were smaller than the ones used by my rocket launchers, much smaller than the small rockets and missiles wielded by the air fighters.

When they appeared, they crossed the distance between them and the Hescos before fiercely landing over them.

The explosions they brought weren't as fierce or big as the attacks coming from the big guns. But they didn't pale in comparison.

The good news was that these explosions were much more like area-limited attacks. And that meant these attacks wouldn't touch or injure any of my forces nearby.

And when I thought these suits would act as distant rocket launchers, they started to show something new.

In fact, the suits started to split up among themselves. Few held their arms towards the surviving Hescos, and others got out wings from their backs.

Others waved their arms, and weapons started to appear from their suits. I saw swords, big war axes, spears, and even bows and arrows. They all came out smoothly like the suits were some sort of containers holding them.

The suits extending their arms at the Hescos launched some sort of light that moved and expanded to entrap all the Hescos in the region.

The Hescos got entrapped in different sized cubes in different lights. Try as they loved, the Hescos couldn't even shake off a single entrapment or even cause a single crack there.

Then the Hescos with weapons landed around these weird entrapments and started hitting the Hescos inside.

At first I feared their attacks would crush the imprisoning lights. But when I saw the attacks passing through these shields of light as if they weren't there, I got quite the relief.

Things didn't look that bad anymore. The attacks came and landed over the Hescos, cutting their bodies without much suspense before many started to die.

This was going on smoothly fast, making me realise these suits were in fact working in teams, just like the real Hescos did.

"That old man... He did a brilliant job," I said in praise while watching everything unfolding in front of me like I was watching an interesting show.

The fight wasn't that suspenseful, especially when the enemy lacked any way to fight back. Gradually I started to realise why the grand general sent ten thousand only. It was indeed enough to take down all these Hescos, and I didn't need to watch this part of the huge battle anymore.

If the Hescos didn't send anymore reinforcements, then the Hescos they sent would die within a few hours.

The Hescos tried to fight their way out, bringing more trouble to my forces. But with all their means, they couldn't bring enough damage or even come closer to the outside lines.

The Hescos selected a deep point of invasion when they planned their attack. That might be a good decision if their plan worked. Unfortunately for them, they were fighting me and a brilliant grand general out there.

As things turned this way, it seemed the grand general on the Hescos side decided to throw all in.

I saw a grand number of Hescos flying out, running on the ground, coming hot at my forces without any regard to any losses or something.

Their number was in millions, and I felt that they might have tens of millions coming towards here.

This was a really great number of forces to fight against. But it wasn't also a great threat to my forces out there. As long as my big guns kept roaring and sending hell over the heads of their enemies, nothing bad would happen.

But in the next few hours, I realised that I underestimate such a mighty race.

I thought this fight was going to be a lost cause the moment the invading Hescos got cleared up. The suit legion retreated back to the centre of this place, not pressing forward for more kills.

The frontline was having heated up battles. Even with the constant firing weapons out there, the huge number of Hescos made sure that many would eventually escape the tight net of my guns.

As they got near my forces, they resumed the killing again. This time, they were unhindered as most of the forces brought over there didn't have any cultivation bases.

So it was expected to see the toll of deaths of my forces rise up without any sign of slowing down.

I wasn't worried though. Losses in any war was inevitable. All I needed to do was to just accept these losses, and hope for my forces to crush their enemies in return.

I thought that the grand general there would return to deploy the suit legions. These were scary forces, able to wound and kill Hescos with great efficiency.

However, that didn't happen. The more time passed, the more puzzled I became.

"Why isn't he deploying these suits?" I felt something was amiss. But while I was thinking about sending an envoy over to this general, reminding him of this good card he should use, a grand change appeared.

And this time, this change brought much worry over my face. I saw the ground where these Hescos appeared from change. The holes expanded, and eventually merged together, ending up with a formation of a circular gulf in the middle of the ground.

Chapter 1166 Trying To Destroy The Weapons

The hole looked deep and bottomless. And it kept expanding outwards. I narrowed my eyes, not knowing what was happening until the first batch of Hescos appeared.

This time, it wasn't just a problem of a few hundreds of thousands. I saw millions gushing out from this huge circular pit, coming hot at my forces, aiming at their lives.

Seeing this frightening scene made me realise why that grand general didn't hurry and deploy any of the suit legions. He seemed to grow suspicious about Hescos actions from earlier. Or perhaps he got a clue about what these Hescos were doing.

Either way, he managed to evade a deadly mistake by sending out the trump forces outwards to fight the Hescos coming at my frontline forces.

If he did that as I wanted, then it would be too late to call them back. The situation would turn from my forces kicking these Hescos' asses, into them being entrapped between mighty Hescos. And this would end up bad without any doubt.

Luckily that grand general was more patient than I was. And I couldn't help but admire his brilliant mind and military experience.

And now the battlefield changed, and I couldn't even tell if my forces would win this or if a big defeat was waiting at the end of this tunnel.

One thing was sure, whoever side would win this clash would secure the win over the cost of a large number of losses.

But that in case no one interfered, on condition that I didn't interfere.

"Go in there, kill any Hescos you find," the large number of warriors I prepared beforehand and let them fill their needs of stat points were given permission to join this battle.

If the Hescos thought that they got the homeland advantage, throwing in tens of millions of their kin to crush my invading forces, then they would be terribly wrong.

I also got the same advantage, and right now tons of warriors with cultivation bases and filled to the brim stat points were heading to their world with an order to kill.

I returned to examine that world. The Hescos looked pretty much confident about their chances in crushing my forces.

They got all the right to feel so. After all, they were fighting this battle in their homeland. And it seemed they already amassed lots of their forces around mine.

So it made perfect sense to feel this way. As my warriors were on the way to that world, the grand general out there didn't expect me to send any reinforcement to him.

He gave the order and all the forces with suits moved in unison, heading towards the central invasion by the underground Hescos.

When I looked closer, I was surprised that not only the digging Hescos were there. These underground Hescos worked their magic and seemed to open wide paths for the other two kinds of hescos to walk through.

So from this grand circular hole, a large number of Hescos were coming out, mainly ground forces and few were flying ones.

Seeing such a grand army coming in the middle of my forces was shocking. If I was one of the soldiers standing near this circular hole, then I'd feel terrified from these enemies.

The Hescos started to press over my forces in all directions. They controlled a good deal of land in the first few minutes, and with the flying Hescos, they looked invincible at this moment.

But with the timely reaction from the grand general, hundreds of thousands of different coloured suits flew over in a grand formation. They didn't fear these Hescos, and this time they came with full force.

"These Hescos... Tsk!" Just as the first waves of my warriors entered that world, another change happened.

It seemed the leader of Hescos forces was sceptical about the suit forces. He seemed to doubt the presence of more of these elite fighters, and so he devised a plan to counter them.

As the suits went to the front to deal with the invading forces, other holes appeared one after another. They were located much deeper into my force lines, and in a matter of two minutes they merged together and another bottomless circular hole appeared once more.

This hole was much smaller than the first one in terms of diameter, but its width and space were the same.

Just as these holes appeared, tons of Hescos emerged. And when the circle was formed, endless streams of Hescos appeared.

And just with a single glance I could tell what their goal was. "They are coming after my precious weapons," I clenched my fists, resisting the urge to jump through this portal light and join the fray.

Luckily this all happened when my warriors arrived. The distance between the inner circular hole and my weapons wasn't that big from the beginning. Only two miles separated the two.

When the Hescos appeared, they seemed very courageous and overbearing. Their weapons plunged at my forces around, killing lots of them and started to move out.

This time they didn't do the same as the outer circle. They didn't push all over the place. Instead they took direction and pressed hard with everything they got towards it.

They aimed at my weapons. But they also knew my weapons were just near the portal linking to my world. So they expected tons of reinforcements to arrive.

The leader of the Hescos seemed to not believe the presence of more suited forces. So he just expected a bunch of useless races and humans, easy to kill.

But they truly underestimated me and my kingdom's true might. Just as the Hescos were gaining ground fast and coming closer to my weapons, many trucks started to open fire at them first.

I was even surprised by this. I saw hampies holding futuristic looking cannons over their backs, opening hellish fire over the incoming Hescos.

The fire looked more like rays of laser or something like that coming hot at the Hescos. The scare fire landed and instead of the violent explosions I used to see, I saw fire engulfing the Hescos like they got hit by balls of coloured liquid or something.

Chapter 1167 The Heated Up Battle

"Is this going to work?" I couldn't tell. But after a few seconds, I got the answer to that.

The Hescos who got covered with these rays and ended up in fire started to stop running and fighting. Then without any warning, their bodies started to twitch as if they got seizures, and eventually they began to fall.

One by one they fell to the ground with shaking bodies. I felt if I heard that world's noise, I'd be able to hear screams of agony and pain.

These fires… These hampies with modified cannons… They were deadly and lethal to Hescos.

But no matter how strong these rays were, each attack needed a couple of seconds to charge up and attack. This made their rate of attack slow, not enough to take down the incoming enemies.

But one thing they did brilliantly well, slowing down the speedy Hescos and forcing them to advance at a slower pace.

Even the flying Hescos weren't pardoned from their fire. The range of these cannons wasn't that big to begin with. And that was why they didn't appear before in the previous fight.

But now, and with the closely approaching Hescos, they became in the effective range of these hampies.

Even the outer circular hole wasn't in the range. So the appearance of these trucks loaded with deadly cannons came as a surprise for me and Hescos alike.

These hampies couldn't stop the advance of the Hescos. But through the little time they bought and the disarray they enforced upon the Hescos growing army, the warriors I sent got the chance to join in a big bang.

The area surrounding the weapons was already filled to the brim with tons of my forces. The grand general there was smart enough to deduct the main aim of the enemy when the first hole appeared.

He seemed to give the order to the surrounding forces to retreat and stop the invading enemies. Even the ones in between the two circular holes started to pull back and put pressure over the incoming Hescos.

This forced the Hescos to divert part of their troops to stop the incoming reinforcements. I liked how this dude acted, using all the resources he had in such an effective way.

But this alone wasn't enough to stop the Hescos. I knew that. He knew that. And the Hescos knew that.

All I needed was little time for my warriors to gather up in a sizable force, enough to make an impact over the incoming Hescos.

And that was done brilliantly and quite accidentally by the intervention from my far away forces and the brilliant performance of the hampies.

Other weapons might be much deadlier than the hampies, but it seemed they lacked the needed range to start raining the enemies down. Also they were already positioned to hit the far away Hescos.

To shift their aim and arrange them in positions suited to assault such close by enemies would take time. And I doubted they would be placed in the right positions before the enemies would reach them.

The grand general seemed to realise this too. So he didn't give any order to reposition the weapons. He just gave orders for the weapons to retreat further closer to the portal.

When my warriors appeared, they were mixed in the middle of tons of my forces there. Normally, my forces wouldn't carry a candle against these Hescos.

The Hescos moved uninterrupted and without any threat except for the hampies and their deadly cannons. But gradually they started to notice something weird.

In the middle of the enemies they took as weaklings, they started to meet strong foes who could wound and even kill them with ease.

This phenomenon started gradually and expanded, spreading all over the frontlines until each step taken by the Hescos was carved with many of their fallen comrades.

The grand general of my forces out there didn't know about the arrival of these warriors. So when they came in, he simply didn't count too much on these.

But when he noticed what the Hescos did, he was smart enough to relocate the order of the forces out there. He moved the normal forces back, while letting the front be taken care of by the incoming elite warriors.

The warriors took charge of the ground battles. But there was still a risk coming from the sky. So the hampies started to shift their cannons, firing up at the flying Hescos, bringing many down.

"They aren't enough," for a moment there I saw the little flaw of my plan that I overlooked. The warriors were strong and capable of taking down these Hescos, but they couldn't deal with the flying ones.

The suit forces were still engaged in heated fights with the Hescos coming from the outer hole. So they couldn't be pulled back anytime soon or else most of the army would be lost.

Seeing this made me expect the damage of many weapons on the hands of the flying Hescos. They were drawing near, and I knew they got mid range attacks that were enough to destroy many of my precious weapons.

It pained me a lot when I thought about it. But in return this was the true nature of war; a bottomless pit of resources.

These weapons cost too much to make. Even if I knew the research department was working like mad to make more weapons, losing too much here would still affect my campaign out there negatively.

I saw many trucks activate defensive shields all over the place. But for a reason, I doubted the ability of these shields to stop the incoming attacks from the hastily approaching Hescos.

I sighed when the Hescos drew nearer. With hampies help, these Hescos lost more than one third of their forces already. But the remaining ones were enough to take down at least half of my weapons in a few minutes.

If I was there, I wouldn't let that happen. But I couldn't consider this idea at all. Going there would bring me and my plans a great deal of harm.

While I was regretting not adding flying mounts to my warriors, or forming flying teams of warriors amidst the ones I sent, something unbelievable happened.

Chapter 1168 Apaches!

The helis appeared!

It started with a big black thing appearing all of sudden in my range of sight. I didn't know what it was, but it came from the direction behind the portal, meaning it was ours.

When I looked closer, I was shocked to see the helis of old humans. These helis rose up in the air, using their rotors to rise higher and come fast towards the flying Hescos.

I looked and counted thousands of these helis. I knew they were modified, but I never expected them to be here.

And in the middle of all this, I didn't notice their presence at all. That grand general must have done something to shield their presence from any spying eyes.

Even I failed to notice their presence. I watched and saw each heli carrying at least one hundred fighters.

The modified helis weren't like the old ones. The old helis were enough to carry ten up to dozen of fighters at most.

But now these helis were so big, enough to carry a hundred or even more.

The helis were in the shape of fighting apaches of lost human weaponry arsenal. They were once known as the terror of the sky, and now they were much fiercer even in the times of the apocalypse.

Each modified apache didn't just grow larger and longer, they also came occupied to the brim with deadly cannons, rockets, and missiles.

Once they came closer, even before the Hescos would be in closer range to attack them, the apaches began their assault.

And their attack was devastating from the start.

The sudden appearance of the apaches took the enemies by surprise. I didn't blame them, even I, the owner of these deadly birds, forgot about their presence.

Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV

The apaches launched their long range missiles first. The moment these explosive missiles hit the Hescos, large flower shaped red explosions appeared in the middle of their ranks.

The explosion drifted away many of the surrounding Hescos, while claiming the lives of others hit directly by the missiles. The attacks came swiftly and one missile after another was sent at these Hescos.

But this wasn't enough to take down the Hescos in the air.

The flying Hescos were already under heavy fire from the ground hampies. And now they started to be hit by the missiles from the apaches.

But even so, they were still coming in large numbers towards my weapons.

The appearance of the apaches placed more pressure over the Hescos. But as the Hescos were coming from all directions towards my weapons, it proved hard and quite challenging to stop them.

But as the apaches were getting closer to the Hescos, the latter divided their forces into two. One headed towards the weapons and started to launch their attacks, while the other headed to the apaches and tried to take them down.

The ones heading to the weapons on the ground were getting rained with thick fire from the hampies. Many fell with fire engulfing their bodies, but much more rained the world down with their deadly attacks.

I couldn't hear anything, but the area down there got brightened up from many explosions. The attacks all landed over the shields, which managed to stop most of them.

But eventually under the pressure, a few shields cracked and others exploded into tiny bits. The explosions then fell over the weapons and fire engulfed many of my weapons.

Damn! Seeing my precious weapons get such a hit made my heart clench.

"Close ranged shields? That's an impressive move, hahahaha!" but when the fire subsided slightly, I saw that most of the weapons getting hit were fine.

They were surrounded with some sort of bubble shaped shield. These shields appeared from the weapons themselves, protecting them from the damage of the attacks raining down at them.

The Hescos first assault didn't yield much results. Only a few weapons got destroyed, not more than a hundred at most.

The other group of Hescos flew towards the apaches. The two sides closed in and the Hescos started firing at my apaches.

The two sides were firing everything they got at this point. Missiles, cannon fires, rockets, and even hand grenades and modified explosive bullets came from the apaches and the fighters boarding the apaches.

In return, dense waves of attacks came at the direction of the apaches from the flying Hescos. Just as the two sides clashed, flares of light appeared around my apaches, surrounding them in some sort of shield.

The sudden appearance of shields prevented the incoming hits from the Hescos partially. Few attacks passed through, and many patches got attacked and ruined in response.

Many started to fall from both sides, but from a closer look, one could tell that the Hescos lost much more than my apaches.

The two sides broke from each other, flew in a curved path before regrouping again and coming hot at each other.

I could tell the aerial fight was going to last for much longer. But in return, I believed my apaches would emerge victorious in the end.

Just as the two sides approached for a second clash, dense rays of attacks came from down below all of sudden. I looked and got a little surprised that the hampies changed their position in such haste and precision, appearing just below the flying Hescos.

Their timely appearance in this spot took the Hescos up above by surprise. The incoming hits were direct and didn't need to cross much distance this time.

It was expected that with the first wave of these rays, many fires engulfed Hescos and ruined their tight formation. In return, the apaches didn't let this chance slip by and hit the Hescos hard.

With such change in the battle, the Hescos couldn't spare any time to deal with the apaches. They made their best to evade and then regrouped once more.

This time there were no hampies down below, and they seemed to take a longer curve to relocate their places. They aimed to end up far away from these hampies when they'd end clashing with the apaches.

Chapter 1169 Standstill Situation

But as they were coming near my apaches for the third clash, a new weapon appeared in this heated up battle; rocket launchers.

Rocket launchers were deadly weapons best suited for long ranged attacks. But to my shock, the grand general there seemed to have another idea.

He slightly shifted their position prior to all this, aiming the muzzles of these rocket launchers towards the flying Hescos.

As the Hescos were flying in tight formation, fearing to break up and ending entangled solo against my scary apaches, they made themselves easy targets for my rocket launchers.

Dealing with the hampies and their lethal cannons was easy with tight formation. Like this, only few would sacrifice themselves at the forefront and shield the incoming rays of attacks from these hampies.

That tight formation might be ideal to deal with hampies, but it was pretty bad in the face of rockets.

The rockets exploded and their aftermath stormed at many of the Hescos. As they were flying close from each other, too many got engulfed with the rocket's explosions, ending up losing too much.

Their formation scrambled, and the apaches didn't let this chance slip by. The apaches this time didn't take an evasive course, and headed directly towards the disarrayed Hescos.

As the two sides clashed, Hescos didn't have enough time to attack and they did their best to evade for the second time. Just as they tried to do so, they ended up with a widely dispersed formation, making it so hard to gather up together anytime soon.

Under such circumstances, the apaches boarded fighters and the ground hampies started to rain down their fire, hunting down the separated Hescos and killing lots in the process.

As the aerial battle entered such a crucial and heated up stage, the ground battle in the two zones also came to a heated stage.

Unlike the aerial battle, the ground battle near the portal zone was following the simple logic of any war. The arrival of my warriors toppled the plans of the Hescos and managed to stop their advance to a great degree.

The Hescos tried their best to kill their way through. But as more warriors were passing from the portal and joining the fray in all directions, the Hescos found it much harder to walk through their enemies with the passing of more time.

Just like my warriors, more Hescos were joining the fray from the direction of the circular hole. But no matter how many they threw at the fire of battle, they didn't manage to claim anything but to push my warriors behind for hundreds of metres at most.

Then when the aerial battle entered such a desperate situation for the Hescos, their ground troops also were stopped and now the assault turned into a direct clash between two sides.

Hescos were fighting against my warriors, and so they were now facing hard foes to kill. My warriors got cultivation bases, and their stat points were maxed out.

So on paper, despite the Hescos looking mighty and terrifying, they couldn't do anything to my warriors. And my warriors had the ability to wound and kill them.

Without the need to have any foresight ability, anyone could tell that the end of this battle would be my forces' win.

The aerial battle was dire and the Hescos were in bad shape right now. Without the pressure exerted from the ground, the aerial forces would get annihilated soon. And once that happened, the forces fighting these aerial Hescos would shift their weapons towards the ground, killing the ground Hescos at a much faster pace.

The same could be said for the ground Hescos as well. Without the help of their aerial forces, the Hescos were doomed to be killed. Even if the battle on the ground magically ended earlier than the aerial one, the flying Hescos would end up surrounded by many forces and wouldn't have any way to run away with their lives.

As for the faraway battle, the joining of the suit forces in full formation placed a great pressure over there. The flying Hescos who first made a great change to the battle out there couldn't show their strength anymore.

And the ground Hescos coming out in large numbers didn't gain much advantage. Even if they were dealing with weak forces, ones that couldn't pressure them, the Hescos couldn't gain much land as the flying suits managed to intercept and stop them effectively.

Ten thousand suits were enough to deal with hundreds of thousands of Hescos before. So when hundreds of thousands of suit forces appeared, the result was quite expected.

The sneaky assault planned by the Hescos to stop the weapons didn't achieve anything at all. They aimed to destroy the weapons back there, at least keeping them busy from hitting the incoming Hescos from outside.

But the end result was indeed shockingly disappointing for them. My forces handled the assault brought by the inner hole perfectly fine, and the weapons kept launching their deadly fire towards the distant Hescos.

The inner battle was going to my favour, and the middle battle was already under control of my suit forces. The outer forces were still fighting useless races while the distant Hescos kept getting killed and wounded at a scary rate.

The only ones doing great on the Hescos side were the ones escaping the tight defensive nets applied by my forces. The deadliest of those were the ones reaching the outermost lines of defence of my forces, escaping the deadly missiles and rockets landing at them while coming from outside.

Aside from these scarce groups of Hescos, the ones inside weren't doing this great. I watched closely for long hours, without thinking even to start opening another ticket passage.

This battle wasn't just a simple battle. This was the first encounter with the Hescos. Our victory here would be enough to boost my forces morale and place great pressure over the Hescos.

I knew this wasn't going to be the last battle with Hescos. Much more battles like this one would appear from now on. But this one held much more weight to it than all the other battles combined.

Chapter 1170 One Battle For Fame And Glory

My forces entered this dangerous expedition without any hope for victory. Despite all my words and effort to show them we got a chance, I knew they never believed in winning at all.

And that was why this battle held such importance. My forces would now realise how strong and mighty we were. They'd know we got hope, and victory could be achieved if we worked hard enough for it.

I only regretted not having the ability to show off this battle to everyone. If I could broadcast this battle, then the effect would be much more than just using words to describe what was happening.

[Tell me, do you record the ongoing battle with Hescos by any chance?] As I had no way to share what I was seeing with others, I held only hope for Silverlining and Toranks to have this battle recorded.

If so, then it might be possible to play this battle for all the forces here to see. Even if they couldn't see it live, they could still watch the recording and gain the feeling I hoped for.

If I got such a recording, then I'd go all out and play it all over my kingdom and even back at my second Earth world.

Every single force belonging to me should watch this battle. This battle was destined to be historical and go deeper into the annals of my kingdom's history.

People would refer to this battle many hundreds or even thousands of years later when speaking about the glorious start of my kingdom as the battle that defined the future of an entire kingdom, or perhaps an entire race!

After this battle, after this victory, no one would underestimate my humans anymore. After this legendary victory, my humans would always be seen as a dangerous race, one who were able to rival the mighty Hescos, the number one race in the entire universe, and win!

[Brother Hye! Your forces suck! What the heck did you do to them? They are like forces belonging to us, hahahaha!]

[I've just did my job in training and preparing to deal with Hescos]

[Damn! I know you said so before, but seeing this… Seeing the Hescos kicked by your forces… This feels a lot better, pretty much close to being magical, hahahaha!]

[Just tell me you are recording this]

[Sure, do you think we will miss such a moment? Not only me, but all my sovereigns are laughing and cheering for you. We are recording everything. And as far as I know, we aren't the only ones doing this. Many others are doing the same. You are going to be famous after this battle]

I knew what he said wasn't just an exaggeration or mere praise from him. This battle was destined to be legendary without doubt.

But what I was interested most in was the fact they were recording this battle. Without any hesitation I asked for copies and means to broadcast these over my entire kingdom.

[Sure. I'll make copies once the battle ends. And I'll provide you with standard broadcasting gears which will play the records over and over until you are bored with it]

[Hahahaha! Thanks for the help bro. I'll never grow bored of such a wonderful fight]

[Neither will I] I knew he was happy and excited, as much as I was. He wasn't just the only Toranks feeling this way, I'd bet all the Hescos were having the same feeling.

The Toranks risked too much in supporting me. I knew that. Even if they got the price back in return for the things they provided to me, I knew this was more like a cheap steal than proper business.

But it felt great to be looked at in such admiration and respect. I hoped more races would come to see this battle, more powerhouses would see how my forces were playing with the Hescos and killing them.

The Hescos had an unrivalled reputation in the universe. So crushing them would grant me a great reputation without doubt.

As I got the answer I wanted, I shifted my attention back to the wild battle going on in the other world. When I looked over, I couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed the news reached the ears of the Hescos. The news about this battle being broadcasted and watched by many races must come as a thundering surprise, unpleasant without doubt, to these Hescos.

Instead of trying to stop me, instead of being an opening battle between the two of us, it turned into a battle of dignity, a battle about the image in the entire universe.

If they were fighting against another race, a well known one like the Toranks or even the Hectors, they might not have felt like this.

But right now they were fighting against a nameless race, led by none other than humans.

Humans were always seen as the trash in the universe. No one cared or even bothered by them. In everyone's eyes, we were slaves and servants not worthy to be taken even lightly.

We were nothing. But after this battle, the name of humans would spread far and wide. And all that fame would come on the corpse of the Hescos.

We would get fame, and they would gain disgrace. So as I was talking with Silverlining, the Hescos started to crazily send out more forces instead of cutting out their losses and recall their forces entangled with mine.

Tons of Hescos led by endless races ran out from the outer forts and walls surrounding my forces. They came without any care for anything, not caring about their losses. They wanted to kill my forces at any cost, no matter what.

"Trying to take this victory by force, by drowning my forces like this? Do you think we, humans, are easy to bully? Humph!" I shifted my gaze around, and looked at a spot.

"Go and inform them, send more inside," I looked at Lily and gave her such an order.
