Chapter 1182 Loran's Awkward Situation

I was ready to sacrifice tons of my elites. So if I got the option to sacrifice machines and war guns instead of true elites, I'd gladly accept the exchange.

Machines and war weapons could be made all the time. But training an elite would cost much more time, effort, and resources.

Besides, I could guarantee the making of more weapons than training new elites.

"But there is a catch here," I looked at Garry in the eye. Someone as smart and daring as him wouldn't miss such a small flaw in his plan.

And from the look over his face when I said these words, I got the feeling that he knew but didn't expose this flaw on purpose.

"I can send drones," after gazing up at me for a long minute, he sighed and added, "I can promise to take down any target hit by my drones and grenades. But…"

"But what?" Legend couldn't help but ask in confusion while other generals exchanged looks between each other.

It seemed obvious that Garry and I were speaking about the same thing, without really speaking directly about it.

"The drones need to be protected," Lily was the first to notice this after me.

"Ah! You mean…" other generals soon caught up, realising how challenging this task was.

"We can just stick them to the frontline," Isac shrugged as if this was a simple issue to handle, "we first let our forces hit the defences and keep them busy then… Bang!"

She slammed her first over her palm while mimicking the sound of an explosion. We all looked at her in weird way, while Garry muttered:

"This may work, but…"

"But what? It's going to work!" Isac was excited about her idea and seemed to be carried out by the feeling of thinking about something no one else thought about.

"He is greedy," I explained what Isac missed amidst her excitement, "he wants to aim at as many key points as drones can reach."

"This…" Isac's eyes widened as she moved them around me, Garry, and her friend Lily. when none of us said anything, she continued to say in immense shock, "this is crazy!"

"We have to do it this way," Garry paused before adding, "if we gave such scary enemies time to prepare themselves against the drones, we will fail midway."

Garry was right. The Hescos weren't just your common day enemies. They were unique. Just one glance at this complicated structure of defence was enough to make anyone realise this.

If we risked and gave them time to prepare and adapt to our offensive tactic, then there was a good chance for them to crush our tactic and stop our drones.

And so Garry was right to think about targeting as many key points as possible from the start.

"If you are thinking so, then we have to send escorts with them," Isac turned and pointed in two directions, "select one of these, either armed flying monsters or apaches."

"No," I was the one to refuse her suggestion. It was enough to lose the drones. But sending any of these two would mean also losing more.

"Then what shall we do?" Everyone turned to me as if I had to solve this on my own.

I didn't speak at once, kept myself looking at the two big drawings of mine and Isac's. I reviewed all the assets and forces I had, trying to find one that was suitable enough to do such a task.

As I was lost in my thoughts, a weird shout came from a direction before I saw someone running towards my chariot.

"Loran?!" I watched Loran running fast until he climbed all the way to the deck of my chariot. He went down to the ground after I started to open other worlds.

I already forgot about him. And seeing him running like that made me feel weird and confused.

"What happened?" I looked at his face and could see a mixture of excitement, pride, and happiness.

Something great must have happened. But it wasn't the right moment to listen to his happy events.

I needed to think about a way to solve the problem of attacking the grand defences out there.

"Lord… They are done!" Loran seemed to want to jump up in delight but when he saw our solemn faces, he stopped.

"What is done?" I already had an idea about what he was speaking about.

Loran was the general leader of the zombie race under me. So if a zombie like him was feeling such delight, there was one thing that could have happened to make him feel like that.

The theory he spoke about, the solution for the zombie plague, seemed to be successful.

I left many zombie teams at the first world I opened to clear the zombie dens using the plans of Loran and his race. And frankly speaking, before seeing what they could do I didn't believe in their success.

After watching how the zombie teams worked and purged the zombie dens, I figured this method would really work.

Seeing Loran running all the way here, with such a happy look on his face, made me know the zombies out there had succeeded.

I didn't know how Loran got to know something like that. His teams were fighting in another world, one that was separated from ours and only linked to it via the portal I initiated.

Aside from that, if Loran came to me at any other time, I'd have screamed out in joy and celebrated with him over the good news.

But this wasn't the right moment nor place to hear about such news.

Even if I always dreamt about having the problem of zombies solved, I was burdened about how to defeat the Hescos.

"Did they do it?" I knew it was unfair for Loran to be welcomed by such a cold atmosphere. So I tried to give him the warmest smile I could fake using, "how did you know?"

Chapter 1183 Zombie Orbs

"I have a link with my people, and I just felt their excitement moments ago," Loran was still feeling awkward, as he felt more like an outsider not welcomed among us, "and so I came to ask lord to check over their progress out there."

Seeing his joy getting crushed by our unexpected reaction, I sighed. "Ok, let me see what happened back there."

I felt bad for him. Such a great piece of news should be received by another reaction other than this tense one.

So to make up for him, I reluctantly opened the feed of the world of zombies and inspected things happening out there.

Just like what I expected, the scattered zombie dens across the entire zone I could see already vanished. Instead of the cities and towns filled with darkness like the first time I saw them, the towns and cities regained their previous shape and appearance.

Of course these places were left in utter destruction, but at least the five portals above them appeared again. That meant my forces could simply control these portals and link that world with this one.

When I looked closer, I saw something flashing out there. I expected before to see old zombies walking out from their slumber after this method succeeded.

But when I looked, I found not a single zombie or living creature inside any town or city.

In return I found some brightly lit red and black orbs left there. In each town and city I could find one of these orbs.

Each orb was almost ten metres in diameter. They didn't look that big, but they weren't that small either. And aside from the bright colour flashing from these, I noticed a thick layer of fog released from these orb like surging flames.

"What? Did they succeed?" Loran asked while trying to sound very happy about that. Yet I felt like he wasn't.

"Something seems off…" I frowned before describing what I found out there.

"Oh, that can also happen," he paused before explaining, "if the zombies from our race slept for so long, their bodies and souls would melt together with the core of the dens, turning into these orbs."

"And?" I turned to look at the feed again before returning to Loran, "what's the use of these orbs? Can we use them to wake up these zombies? Or they are now dead?"

"They are long dead," even when he spoke about his deceased kin, he didn't sound that sad or depressed. In fact he gave me the impression he was already expecting something like that to happen.

"So they are dead… What about these orbs then? Are they some sort of explosives?" I recalled the shape of grenades invented by the research department and felt it would be awesome to have such explosive orbs.

"No, they can't be used that way," he paused and when he noticed my impatient look, he added, "they can be used for a single purpose; making zombie dens."

"This…" I frowned, "are you telling me these orbs can be used to make zombie dens? I paid such a price to crush these zombie dens. And you are telling me they can be remade again?"

"Lord can decide to crush them to finally get rid of these zombie dens," he paused before adding in a serious tone, "but doing so will be a big loss in my opinion."

"Why? I just want to crush these dens once and for all," I shrugged before adding, "inform your men to crush them. I don't want such risky items to be within the borders of my kingdom. God knows what will happen if a few orbs were wrongly used and released dens in the middle of my forces out there."

"But lord… This is a grave mistake…" he seemed to struggle for a moment before finally explaining, "you can drop your blood over these, binding these to your will. If you use these orbs, they can release zombies which can follow your orders to the letter. They will be loyal and never betray you under any circumstances."

"Oh… Are you sure about that?" my eyes shone with excitement when I heard that. I knew this might seem crazy, but if he was sure of it then this would turn into great news.

"I'm sure about that," he nodded in a firm way, "not only that. After the lord binds this with blood, the lord can use these orbs to assault the dens we haven't yet conquered. After some time, we can upgrade the level of the zombies coming out from the dens formed by these dens."

"They can be used in such a way?" I was more surprised by this, and suddenly I recalled the great dens which had given me a headache before.

"They can level up infinitely, but we have to use the same method as before."

I got what he meant by that. By using his zombie one hundred men groups to purge and purify these dens, and by using these orbs in the process, these orbs could absorb the energy from the dens and upgrade.

Or that was what I guessed.

"That will be for later time," I suddenly turned to everyone as I said in great excitement, "I found a way to solve this problem once and for all."

"The zombie problem?!" Legend asked in doubt, and I shook my head.

"The problem of Hescos," I walked a few steps forward, stomping my feet over the drawing on the ground before adding, "this problem."

My words were shocking for all of them. They looked at me in a weird way and I smiled in triumph. I knew my words came out of the blue, and they didn't get what I was thinking about.

"Send people out there," I said to Isac, "let them control the portals over these towns and cities. Then they will move these orbs over to me."

"But…" Isac looked at everyone before fixing her gaze over me, "what will we do with these orbs?"

Chapter 1184 Monsters' Blood Can Help

"Simple," I shrugged, "these Hescos seemed to get rid of the zombie threat before we arrived there. It's time for us to make them remember the fear of the fifth quest."

When I said that, my tone and expression were vicious. I meant what I said, and they were smart enough to get what I meant.

If I could control the zombies coming out from the dens formed by these orbs, then I planned to use all these orbs and turn the entire world out there into zombies loyal to me.

"You wanted defensive troops to guard your drones, and these zombies will be perfect for such a task," I knew the fight over there made both sides lose tons of forces in the past clashes.

If I used orbs there to form dens, then the entire region would be submerged under a dense amount of zombies, many of which would be higher grade than normal zombies.

Using an endless stream of zombies coming out from many dens was the perfect use of fodders. Like that I'd not have to use anything precious or risk losing any of my forces or precious weapons.

But first I had to experiment and see if what Loran said was true or not.

If he didn't know what he was speaking about, then we would return to square zero again.

"Go now," I urged Isac, "before thinking about how to use these orbs, I first need to test one of them."

"Sure," Isac got what I meant without the need to explain myself. I watched her move while other generals started to brief Loran in.

I watched Loran's face switch between utter confusion and shock to pure excitement. Once he heard the entire story he jumped and knelt in front of me.

"Lord… Please grant my race this chance to take over such a prosperous race and fight."

His tone was sincere, and his emotions were filled with excitement. I knew what he meant by that, however I didn't intend to comply.

"I'm going to use the den orbs as you expected, but I won't let your people come."

"Lord… This…"

"I need more of these orbs," I explained, "and the world you are fighting at right now may be considered one on the verge of turning into a dark realm world. So our presence there, your people's presence, is destined to stop that world from transmutation."

"I understand, but lord has not to worry. My race may be called on the verge of getting extinct, but we have enough to participate in that huge war."

I knew he wanted to be there to watch the glory of his lost race once again. Facing the number one race and crushing them with one of their race taboos was something thrilling indeed.

I moved a few steps forward, patted him on the shoulder. Even when he knelt, he was still higher than me so I had to extend my arms to pat his shoulders.

"Don't worry, soon enough I'll get a recording about this entire battle. And believe me, I'll make this recording play for a long time all over my kingdom."

"This…" he raised his head and I saw a pleasant expression over his face. He was surprised by this, and I just gave him a firm nod before returning to watch Isac once more.

The girl went down there and sent a few teams back to the world of zombies. I knew this world didn't have a high chance to be one of the dark realm worlds, not like the sand world at least.

There were preserved cities and towns out there. That meant this world could be saved from turning into such a dark fate.

Unlike the pure sand world which was filled entirely with sand, zombies, and monsters, this world would be saved the moment my people controlled these towns and cities, and took over the portals out there.

Like this, that world wouldn't be called a barren world. Besides it didn't give me any bad feeling, not like that sand world that looked so desolate and gloomy.

I waited for half an hour before the first team returned. Each team was formed of thousands of members, and when they came back they got tens of these orbs.

Each orb was much bigger than I took them to be. The orbs were close to fifty metres in radius. Holding one seemed to take the effort of a few hundred of these strong fighters.

"They brought a few over," Isac returned back to my chariot, pointing towards the ground before adding, "how can we use these?"

I looked at Loran who was generous in his answer.

"Lord can bind them using his blood, then we have to bury one under the ground. The depth shall be no less than two hundred metres, and we will need blood of monsters. We want to turn them into zombies to fill the hole if possible."

I listened and my eyes flashed with realisation. "Are you saying that using high grade monsters will give yield to high grade zombies?"

"There won't be a change in grade," he shook his head, "only the type of zombies will differ. It's like bringing out more zombies of different kinds, but the same power."

"Hmm… If they got the powers from the dead monsters, then they wouldn't be on the same level of power," I was sure he was wrong in his estimation.

Just recalling the two grand zombies I fought before which kept the powers of the two initially killed fiends by me gave me a confirmation about what I thought.

The zombies would have the same grade, but their individual strength would vary according to the nature and initial powers of the monsters.

And that made me think deeper about this.

If this worked as he said, then I was in front of a great chance. I took a peek over the hot onslaught happening over the Hescos world. There I spotted lots of dead monsters, killed in the hands of zombies.

Chapter 1185 Activating The Zombie Orb

"If we can use their blood, then things would turn rather interesting…" I rubbed my chin while thinking about this in greed and excitement.

The monsters sent over the other world were all flying ones. If we used the blood of the dead ones, then there was a good chance the zombies coming out from these zombie den orbs would be flying zombies as well.

Imagining flying zombies attacking the enemies was an intimidating scene to behold. In addition to that, my thoughts drifted over somewhere else.

That little Qi was playing with the lives of monsters for a long time. He has bred many strong and elite monsters so far. So it might help a little in this.

"Send someone over to the pocket world," I turned to Lily before adding, "let that Qilin over there hand over the recently dead bodies of one hundred thousand elite ground monsters. Make the research department squeeze every drop of their blood into separate bottles, and bring these over."

"This…" Lily looked at me in a weird way, "shouldn't we wait until we make sure these orbs really work?"

"They will," I knew she got what I meant by my words, like most of the generals here. Even if I didn't yet try these orbs out, I had a feeling this would really work.

I got to know Loran back when he spoke about that crazy stuff of zombies. And after seeing how his wild words came true, I started to grow confident in his claims.

Someone like him wouldn't spout nonsense about these things. Besides, he proved to me that he and his race were the only experts in the entire universe when it came down to zombie matters.

"Fine," Lily stepped down and started to give orders.

"Let's go," I simply jumped off my chariot, "we are going to test one of these orbs now."

I was no less excited than Loran's to test these orbs out. If this was going to work, then by all my resources I'd end up being the overlord of this fifth quest.

Zombies? Huh! The zombie would be linked forever to my name from now on.

I went down there while all the generals followed.

"Garry, send a few of your people to the Hescos world," as I stood in front of the huge egg-like orb, I said to Garry without turning back to him.

"For what purpose, lord?"

"Let them take enough forces and warriors from here, go out there and start collecting the killed monster bodies inside that world."

I then pointed at the orb before adding, "let them gather these monsters' blood and store them safe. When I move these orbs there, they will use these blood to make flying zombies."

When I turned around to make sure Garry listened and received my orders, I saw shocking expressions over everyone's face.

They seemed to think about the possibility of these orbs and zombies coming out from them to go wild and break their link with me.

They got all the right to feel so. Flying zombies were much scarier than any other type of zombies. Not to mention it was hard to deal with.

But I was going to test these orbs now. And if they proved to be risky, I wouldn't use them this way.

"Don't worry, these orbs are safe once bound," Loran seemed to get what Garry and others were afraid of, so he had to speak.

"And we can still destroy these demons once built, right?" I focused over Loran who simply nodded before shrugging.

"We won't need to do such a thing at all," his tone told me he was pretty much confident about the success of this plan.

"Of course if the orbs are safe as you say, we won't need to think about destroying them," I nodded in satisfaction before turning my attention over the grand orb in front of me, "where should I leave my blood drop?"

"Anywhere."

I didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed a casual sword from my inventory before cutting my hand. I squeezed my blood and let it drip over this entire thing.

The orbs were red in colour, giving me the impression they grew fetus inside them. The outermost parts were dark red, while the innermost zones were paler in comparison.

Besides I could see wisps of dark threads dancing in the centre of these orbs. If I wasn't told these were zombie den orbs, I'd take them for being scary creature eggs.

Once my blood touched the orb, I heard a screech coming from the entire thing. Then a sound of sizzling started to grow stronger, accompanied by a white cloud of fog.

It was like my blood was cold water, getting splashed over a very hot surface or something.

I turned to Loran and the latter had nothing but a calm smile and excited expression over his face.

Well, that was a good sign indeed.

The process didn't last longer than half an hour. Then the orb started to change. Instead of being all red, silver threads started to spread all over its surface, giving me a false impression it was going to crack open.

"It's normal," as I turned to look at Loran again, he added, "the orb is now ready. These silver lines are the evidence that this orb belongs to lord."

"How can I control it then?" I tried to look for any feeling of connection with that orb but failed.

It was like this orb had nothing to do with me.

"It has first to be activated," Loran drew closer while looking at this orb in admiration and somehow, reluctance, "we need to start burying it."

"Do we have a time limit?" I frowned when I heard his last words, "do we have an expiration date perhaps?"

"No, I meant we need to start testing it," he hurriedly explained himself a bit more.

"Cool," I looked around, and decided to take this orb towards somewhere that wasn't risky to my capital or area of activity here.

Chapter 1186 Digging A Hole That Doesn't Match

"Let's go," I motioned to Isac to lead the team who brought this orb from the Hescos world to carry the activated orb again and pass through the portal I opened.

When we arrived at the other side, everyone's face changed.

"Lord… This…"

"It's the western border warzone," I noticed that all the generals followed me here. It seemed they were all curious about these orbs and how they'd do their magic.

I selected this spot after careful consideration of the entire war zone in my kingdom. After thinking about the future, I knew this zone would be one of the hottest and most dangerous zones in my kingdom during the upcoming few weeks.

So if this orb thing would work, it would be great to add more manpower to defences here. If not, then adding more zombies here wouldn't matter that much.

After all, I never planned to add any monster blood to this orb, fearing it would go berserk and turn hostile against me.

"Dig a hole out there," I randomly selected a zone at the innermost intense battle in the region, "go and help."

I took out a large number of warriors. I took out enough stat crystals for them to consume before giving them the order to help my generals.

I wouldn't send my generals out there for their demise. Before they left, I made sure the warriors would follow the orders of the generals, and everyone would listen to Loran.

I stood high in the air watching everything unfolding in front of me. As for the orb, it was kept safe on the back of my chariot.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

As the warriors sprinted forward, they met the large number of zombies with ease. The zombies might have the numerical advantage, but it wasn't enough to stop my elite warriors.

My warriors moved like a knife in butter, without any hindrance at all. They kept expanding the gap they created as if they were swimming in the middle of raging ocean waves.

The zombies seemed to feel attracted to the new foes coming at them. I saw most of the zombies in the entire region shift their attention towards my warriors and come towards them.

At some moment, it seemed there was nothing to stop my warriors but they started to slowly advance forward. At this moment, the timely help of the spearhead special ability came and saved the day.

The zombies got more downgraded, and the warriors kept following the genius instructions of various generals, ending up in fighting in different formations that took zombies by force and tactics.

Zombies might look like locusts, but they were mindless locusts. They couldn't counter the intelligent tactics of my generals.

They lost in every way but numbers. Their strength was really mediocre. Even with the tsunami like waves coming at my forces, they got nothing accomplished especially after the effect of spearhead ability.

In less than half an hour, the group of warriors led by generals arrived at the spot I selected. This wasn't inside any fortifications of my kingdom. Honestly speaking, it was deep in the enemy territory.

It was around two miles away from the closest walls and defences, a good spot for a trap to be formed. Even if things went wrong and the zombies coming out from the orb didn't listen to my orders, nothing bad would happen to my forces defending here.

At most, the number of zombies would increase by a slight margin. I watched the forces expand the area they controlled, giving space to others to start digging.

I used my Hawk Eye skill and saw Loran taking charge of this operation. I watched in interest how this hole was shaped.

As expected, it wasn't a normal shaped hole at all. The one that got dug out there was like a star of seven heads. And the level of digging showed that Loran wanted a sloppy edge that led to the centre of this hole.

The hole was one hundred metres in length from one head to another. As for its depth, I could follow it until they started digging the central part.

This central hole was ten metres in radius, taking the form of a perfect circle. They kept digging for one hour, taking out tons of rocks and dirt from it.

I could tell this hole went down for hundreds of metres, if not a thousand. After one hour, I saw Loran coming towards me using his chariot.

Zombies were still ground friendly creatures. They haven't learned how to fly yet. And they didn't have any flying zombies, so flying was safe. It was the safest means of transport so far.

"We are ready, lord," when he approached me, he bowed as he added, "lord has to just toss it in the central hole and it will work on its own."

"No need to cover it up?" I recalled he spoke about this before.

"No," he shook his head in a firm way, "this burying method will only work if we use the blood of other monsters. But I believe the lord isn't willing to do something like this now."

"Good point," I didn't hide my intentions of keeping this hole clean from any monster blood. I was still thinking of the worst case scenario that might happen.

I went towards the hole and when I arrived, I noticed it was like a black hole. "How deep is this hole exactly?" I asked in curiosity while comparing the hole and orb together.

"One mile deep."

"It's too deep," I spoke in neutral tone as my mind drifted to something else, "but can't you tell the size of this hole is different from this orb? They don't match."

"The orb is a magical item," Loran paused slightly before adding, "the orb will change its size to match the hole."

"Then why didn't you dig a wider hole?" I couldn't see the goal of doing this.

"The orb has to be compressed to a small size to work," Loran finally explained, "if not, things won't work."

Chapter 1187 Weird Things

"Then why don't you make it smaller?" if compressing it would do such magic, then why wouldn't we make this hole like a needle hole?

"That size is the perfect size for the orb to bring the most effect without endangering the life span of the orb," he pointed at the orb before adding, "if we tried to compress it even further, the orb itself may crash. If not, the time for the den to last will be shortened."

"These orbs produce dens with life limits?!" I was shocked to hear that.

"Nothing we make lasts forever, lord," Loran acted as if he was a wise old man, "the lifetime of any single orb we have will last for a month at most. But if we compress it more, the time will decrease even if it is only a few days."

"Interesting…" I never thought these dens would last for one month and vanish. Thinking about this made me feel more secure and a little disappointed.

If this was the case, then there was no point in worrying about zombies coming out from these dens going berserk.

Even if they did, the dens would collapse entirely in one month. So it wasn't that risky to last one month and defend until the den would collapse on its own volition.

But if that was true, then that meant these dens couldn't be used for eternal defence. I thought they would last forever, so I planned to use them as one of the mightiest forms of defending my conquered zones in the other worlds.

"It looks like I can only use them as means of assault," I sighed when I realised this. It was a nice limitation, but one that would bring me quite the headache as well.

I didn't hesitate anymore. I simply grabbed this giant orb with one hand and tossed it like it was nothing.

Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV

It was indeed heavy, but with my current body strength, maxed stats, and strong cultivation base, it looked like nothing.

Once it fell down, something weird happened.

The orb started to emit copious amounts of fog, condensing underneath it as form of a cushion. The orb should have landed fast, but it took almost ten times of what it was supposed to take to reach the hole.

During this elongated time, and with its speed getting slower not faster the closer it got to the hole, the fog seemed to encompass the entire orb as it was hugging it.

I saw the orb's size getting shrunk gradually as if it was under some sort of spell. It was an interesting scene. Even if I knew this was going to happen, I still felt amazed when watching it.

Once the orb reached the hole, it was smaller to fit in that hole as Loran said. Loran's words meant one thing; his race had already conducted such tests before and knew how to deal with these orbs.

And that made me more confident in seeing the results Loran promised.

Not long after the orb vanished into that hole, a faint shaking happened to the ground around before the shaking grew tremendously stronger.

It was like a car going from zero to one hundred mile speed in one second!

The intensity of these tremors was very strong and violent, enough to knock everyone around it off their feet.

"Retreat now!" I didn't even wait for Loran to remind me of this as I shouted for everyone down there, "go back to the kingdom!"

I didn't call back my warriors yet. Even if the zombies weren't in better shape than my forces, it was safer to let the entire group retreat as one force, just the same as they advanced here.

The retreat journey was longer than expected thanks to these continuous violent earthquakes. They kept running amidst falling down and standing up, making them look rather funny in the eye.

The generals summoned their chariots and flew high and safe away from these weird shakings. When everyone that mattered evacuated, I called back my entire warriors into my inventory.

The sky was filled with tens of chariots led by generals. They stood on my side, not moving as I didn't.

I stood in my place watching the scene up front unfolding to its end. The shaking continued for a few minutes before wisps of yellow energy came out from the central hole.

It looked like giant snakes were trying to squeeze themselves out from the hole. In the next ten minutes, some of these wisps fell and merged with the star-shaped hole around, others went wild and even grabbed many zombies from around, turning their flesh and bones into yellow dust that merged with these wisps.

"Is that normal?" I felt something weird was happening to this den, but Loran simply smiled as he said in confidence:

"The orb is hatching, and it's absorbing energy from the world and creatures around. As we didn't supplement it with any monster blood, it has to improvise and absorb as much as it can from the world around."

"Interesting…" from what he said, it seemed like these orbs were real eggs containing real life forms that wanted to mature and hatch.

I watched this bizarre scene as more followed. The zombies around were killed mercilessly and in such a brutal and genuine way before more flooded the hole.

It looked like something was calling for zombies to come to this spot. Even with their large numbers, the wisps of yellow energy wiped right and left, flashed everywhere, killed everything in a blink.

It was as amazing as frightening as well. I now felt good that I called back my warriors and generals, or else they'd have ended up as a meal for this scary den.

"I have to warn my forces to get away from these orbs the moment they use them," I muttered to myself while watching the wisps shine all of sudden in bright orange light.

And with that shining phenomenon, the wisps stopped moving, alongside all the zombies surrounding the den in a few hundred metres radius zone.

Chapter 1188 The Test Is A Success

"It's happening!" Loran's excited scream came from my side, almost this close from deafening my ears, "the orb got its full and now it's ready to hatch."

"Are we going to see another weird thing or what?" I rolled my eyes while recalling the weird things that kept happening in each of Loran's plans.

That dude seemed to grow excited about succeeding his plans, but he never cared to fill me in about the little details regarding these plans.

"No, it's just going to turn into a real den now,"' he beamed with a smile, as if he found his long lost love or something.

"I hope so," I grew tired from watching weird events happening in the middle of these events. I turned my attention towards the den and waited for it to show me it's true picture.

Come on! Show me what you could do, little boy!

In the next half an hour, the changes started to take shape. I could see a bottomless looking black hole in the place where the light was shining before.

The light faded over the past half an hour, ending up black in the end. I watched the first wave of zombies coming out from the newly formed den.

It was interesting. The den looked exactly like the dens I watched on the feedback before. The zombies that came out from it looked no much different than the ones surrounding the entire place here.

But for a reason, I felt like they were a bit stronger.

"Hahahaha! It worked! It worked! Hahahaha!" Loran was already on sky seven when he saw this. I felt all the generals around looking in a weird way towards him and the den, but I didn't comment or say anything.

I keenly watched the newly formed zombies move out from the den, standing in protection around it as if they were some sort of loyal guards.

"How can I control them?" The zombies around seemed to sniff the same scent from these zombies, so they didn't take the initiative to attack them.

But that wasn't the point. I needed these zombies to act as fodders, attack the complicated and heavily fortified Hescos defensive base. So I needed to control them, otherwise all this wouldn't matter.

"Lord can simply give them orders," Loran said as if it was something easy to do. As I looked in doubt towards him, he added in clarification:

"These zombies are all connected to the lord via blood. So the lord can control them using your mind, giving them orders without the need to say a single word."

"Does that work in a certain range? Is this limited to one world?" These were the most important questions right now. If this didn't work, then it meant I had to go all the way into the other world of Hescos.

Doing this wouldn't be feasible. Plus the den kept giving birth to new zombies, and these needed my orders to be relayed.

If this was the case, then it meant I had to stick around these dens for one month. That wasn't practical, and would greatly impact my real plans.

"No, there is no limit to this," but Loran's next answer made me sigh in relief, "this link goes beyond any restriction, and doesn't follow any logic or law."

"That's great," I didn't hurry to believe his words, took out my staff and opened a portal back to the capital. "Let's go back," I said before pointing at Lily, "you will remain behind. See if the zombies follow my orders or not. Then come back through this portal."

"Sure," she was smart to get what I wanted without the need to ask anything. I moved back to the capital with everyone, all except Lily and Loran.

The latter seemed too excited to leave. He wanted to check over the performance of these zombies, and I gave him permission to stay.

As for others, they followed me back. Once there, I simply thought about something and waited. I gave these zombies the order to attack the surrounding zombies, kill any of them without stopping.

After ten minutes, Lily and Loran flew through the portal and came to me. The look over their faces was enough to give me the answers I needed.

"It worked!" Loran was the first to speak, or to be precise he shouted amidst his laughs.

"They are slightly stronger than the normal zombies currently here," Lily gave me more information, precisely what I wanted to hear.

I felt the zombies coming out from the den were slightly stronger, and with Lily's confirmation I knew this was true.

"It seems I triggered some changes using my blood or using this technique of Loran," I muttered before turning to Loran and others, "this plan is good to go. Let's move all the orbs after I bind them with my blood. You have to teach them how to do it, and warn them about what will happen during the process."

The last parts were said to Lily and Isac. the two nodded, and Loran volunteered to send more of his people there to supervise over things.

From what he said, this process was known to the higher echelon of his race. So the normal zombie race fighters didn't know much about this.

I started to bind the orbs with my blood, noticing that more orbs were brought over here during the past hour.

At the same time, Lily and Isac taught a group of tens of thousands of their elite fighters about the process and what they would expect and what they should be wary of.

Loran, on the other hand, selected many of his people and started to teach them as well. During this, and as my blood needed time to control these orbs, I started to examine the ongoing battle out there.

One hour didn't have much changes in the entire battlefield. The Hescos were still amassing their forces at the outer ring of defences, making that place look like it was never going to be breached.

Chapter 1189 Legend Gets What He Wanted

As for my forces, they kept fighting and killing without facing any problem. Their enemies were weaker race fighters, and the Hescos never stepped again into their place.

I felt like Hescos got the wrong idea. I didn't wait all this long to trick the Hescos to reinvade this region. But it seemed they were too cautious to even send a few legions out, even when exhaustion kicked in into my forces.

I was worried they might notice this and come hard at my exhausted forces. If they ever did, then it was bound for my forces to fall in large numbers without my ability to help.

But my test for the orbs passed smoother than I expected. And these Hescos seemed to be more inclined to their safe fortresses and towers than risking their lives to snatch an advantage from me.

For another hour, I finished binding all of the orbs they brought over and the others finished instructing their people. They started sending them to the Hescos world, preparing a place in the outer region for these dens.

Even if the trial went without any hiccups, I didn't fully entrust their presence in the middle of my forces. If a single den went rogue, it would be safer to let it be away from my forces.

"Are your drones ready?" During this time, Garry worked with his men to load the drones with many explosives and grenades. He led his team to modify these, and they were still working.

"We finished almost ten thousand drones," Garry ran to me as he added, "we can start now if lord wants."

"If it was up to me, I'd rather wait until you are all finished and then move. However time won't await us," I thought before adding, "move them over to the other world. And make a few of your capable people go there and teach others how to control them."

"We don't need much to control," Garry said in confidence, "they can move on their own."

"I don't want any trouble in that process," I paused before seriously adding, "'the major impact of this attack lies within the element of surprise. Don't give the enemy any chance to adapt."

"I know," he nodded but I didn't truly trust his response. I knew he was trusting his tactic too much.

Even with zombies taking out the frontline fire and focus, the enemy would just be surprised for a little time before they'd arrange something to deal with his drones.

"I want the first wave to attack the most crucial towers," I said, pointing out at the grand drawing of the defences before adding, "if you handled one hundred towers from the start, then we could hit one hundred zones. But it won't differ that much. That place is formed of tens of thousands of such zones."

"I won't do that," Garry shook his head before pointing at the drawing done by Isac, "I already spoke with Isac bro, and we reached a tactic together."

"What tactic?" I knew if Isac was involved, then the tactic wouldn't be that bad. But I wanted to revise it to make sure things would go as planned.

"We will attack using probing drones first," he pointed at many dots before adding, "we will test the response of the enemy, and based on that we will try to detect the key towers."

"This means you must send someone capable and smart out there," I got this based on our last talk about the plan. However that also meant there must be someone leading this entire operation.

He must be smart, quick witted, and quite daring. If not, then he would miss many of these key towers.

"Isac selected one general she trusted," Garry slowly said, and for a moment a name popped up in my head.

"Don't tell me she chose him," I rolled my eyes. And from the reaction over Garry's face, I knew I guessed it right. "That damn brat! He didn't stop dreaming about doing it!"

I was surprised that Legend moved behind my back and found a way to go to that world. According to this plan, a capable general must lead this charge or else things would be bad.

Selecting Legend was something I would never say no to. He was capable, daring, and intelligent. He was young, the youngest general I had, but he was one of those few I would entrust with such a tactic.

"Lord, don't worry about me not coming back," when I realised he was going, Legend stepped forward and spoke in a serious tone, "once we crushed that fort, we will press forward and control a city or a town out there. Then through the portals there I'll come back."

I sized him up and down, knowing that this kid did what I said not to. However I liked his stubborn and creative personality. He didn't take no as an answer, found a legit way around to do what he wanted.

I liked that. "Don't get yourself killed out there," I only said before waving for him to go down and lead the forces of drones towards the other world.

This operation took a lot from the one leading it. And hopefully he'd perform the same way he did so far.

I ignored the world around me for the time being. Garry went to lead his people in modifying more drones, while Lily and Isac got themselves busy handling the forces sent over to the other world.

I knew this was the time to show off the tens of millions of warriors lying in wait. But first two things must happen first.

The orbs must be activated, then my forces there would press forward, clear a path for these zombies to attack the Hescos. Then drones would attack.

I still didn't think that using ten thousand drones was going to be enough. However if they were used in a smart way, they might clear almost one fifth of the entire defensive zone out there.

Chapter 1190 Starting The Big Plan

If Legend managed to direct the operation quite well, then a broad section would be cleared from these defences. Using this section and orchestrating the zombies to attack from there would put the Hescos under great pressure.

I watched many of my fighters move a huge number of bottles filled with different coloured thick liquid. I didn't need to ask, as these were filled with blood extracted from monsters.

I already ordered Lily to send someone and fetch as much blood of high level monsters as we could using the help of little Qi. If that playful monster compiled and sent blood of high level ground and flying monsters, then the zombies formed would be quite scary.

Besides, the forces out there drained all the blood they could get from the dead bodies of the flying monsters sent before to transport them.

I then shifted my attention fully towards the other world.

Activating the orbs was a process that'd take at least two hours. While the orbs were being moved from the central region to the outermost part, my forces out there started to hurry in their killing.

The enemies couldn't stand a chance against them. So in half an hour, most of the hostile races infiltrating the entire region were cleared. Only the new ones coming out from holes or from the outer ring remained.

The ones coming out from holes were getting killed by dedicated forces stationed there. As for the ones coming from the outer ring, my forces moved and formed an advanced line of defence, giving enough space for the orbs to be used.

The process of transporting the orbs took almost one hour. During which part of the forces stationed in the centre moved with them in security. As for those on the frontline, they started digging in the same way I saw my warriors did before.

Star-shaped holes started to take shape one after another. Their number wasn't that great, counting for a few hundred. But each hole would turn into a den, which was more than an army brought over there.

The number of orbs I activated was no more than one hundred and fifty. But it seemed Legend decided to dig as much as possible in preparation for the future to acquire orbs.

This kid was smart. He used this time to make preparations for the future, saving himself more trouble of digging again.

Not to mention once the Hescos noticed my tactic, they wouldn't let us dig another batch of holes to activate the orbs through easily again.

The digging just finished after the orbs arrived at the frontline. It seemed like most of the forces stationed inside the region controlled by me moved to the outer region.

It gave the fake impression that we were planning for a massive assault. That Legend was indeed cunning, or was it the grand general out there?

In fact both were the same breed of the same kind. I watched with interest as more forces were getting evacuated and gathered at the frontlines.

It would give Hescos the false impression and the wrong idea. They'd even think these digging to be some sort of defensive preparations to guard the forces from any counter attack coming from them.

That was just brilliant!

As for the drones, they were moved amidst the grand number of forces mobilising to the frontlines. Even I found it hard to recognise them. Legend didn't even try moving them using flying monsters to avoid attracting attention.

Once the holes were ready, the orbs were thrown over and then the entire forces began to push forward.

It seemed like they were going to attack the ring defences, going all out and fighting the incoming races with utmost bravery.

"This kid... He is just amazing!" I laughed as I knew this was something done to safeguard against the side effects of activating the orbs.

The orbs once thrown into the holes, I noticed many passing over the holes, smashing the bottles over the holes to let them smash and release their content.

The blood of monsters was added to these orbs. This was the first time this was done, and I didn't know if this would entice a new change over the dens and zombies or what.

What I was worried the most about was for the monster blood to turn the zombies rogue and make them not listen to my orders. I also didn't know if the mind link with these zombies would work from my current place here.

If it was needed, then I'd move towards that world and see this through. I would never let this battle be lost for a reason like that.

Once the bottles were thrown over the holes, the forces started to cover up these holes while advancing forward. It might be masked by their movement, but if anyone focused, he'd notice what they were doing.

From time to time, new bottles would be thrown and then get buried with rock and dirt.

The process continued for half an hour before the entire holes were already flattened with the ground. Without the faint yellowish wisps coming out from these holes, I wouldn't even be able to locate them.

As the wisps got brighter, the forces started to run away as fast as they could. However, a few unlucky ones got entangled with the wisps, ending up vanishing into these dangerous tongues.

Seeing this the remaining forces retreated and didn't dare to step forward. Right now almost half of the entire forces sent out there were fighting for miles away from the orb zones.

As for the other half, they had to retreat back into the region. "This may alert the Hescos," I looked at this and knew this was a very obvious retreat for anyone watching.

But just as I got worried, the forces retreating spread all across the sides of the outer hole. They started to take defensive positions and stood there as if it was their task to guard that hole.

Chapter 1191 Attacking Hescos

"It's not bad, it's quite a good move actually," I looked at this and praised this quick decision taken by Legend.

It wasn't the perfect solution, but it was enough to make the enemy believe we were paying close attention to the outer hole.

But that wasn't enough to wipe out any suspicion. "Lily, make them move into the portal and join the frontline now!" This was all I could do to help mask this unavoided mistake.

I gave the order to Lily, to start mobilising the endless warriors over to the other world. It would be too soon to move them, much sooner than I already planned. But it couldn't be helped.

Using these warriors would make the enemy buy what Legend made. Besides the portal had a capacity, and moving all these warriors over there would take a long time.

So it wouldn't impact my plans that much.

I watched the brutal fight between my already exhausted forces and the enemy. As they had to step forward, their higher strength advantage was countered by their forces getting thinner.

They first were able to push the enemy backwards easily. But in less than one hour, it looked harder to move forward without sacrificing a lot.

As they advanced, they had to cover up a much larger area, ending up in spreading out their forces. After two hours, and as they crossed almost five miles, they couldn't move forward.

They did a good job already. They managed to buy my forces time for the orbs to get ready.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

The warriors I sent out there didn't dare to cross over the dens or even get near them. So they were stuck around the outer hole, ending up filling most of the region again.

During this, the orbs kept acting wild. As there were no zombies, races, or monsters around to suck their energy dry, the orbs took three hours to finish maturing.

When the yellowish wisps of light vanished, the frontal forces were starting to show signs of crumbling. The enemies were endless, coming fresh and had unending reinforcements.

Unlike my forces who were already exhausted, fighting without enough forces on their sides, and with zero reinforcements. So it was expected for my forces to start getting pushed back, and even many places showed red flags.

But that was just in time when the first orb finished transforming into a den. A pitch black den appeared, and the first wave of zombies came out.

"They are badass! Hahahaha!" seeing the first group of zombies coming out from the first den, I couldn't help but laugh in happiness.

The zombies that came out were flying ones with wings, giant ones looking like ferocious beasts, or even had fierce auras around them.

The zombies looked wild and dangerous. And the great news was that they would keep coming for an entire month without the need for me to do anything.

As more dense got formed, more zombies started to appear. Just like what happened before, these zombies stood around the den, acting as their guards.

"Time to see if it's going to work or what…" I looked at these zombies and thought about a simple order.

I ordered them to move forward and group up one mile away. Just as I gave the order, I watched the zombies roar, their bodies shaking as if they were resisting some hidden force, before finally starting to move.

"As expected… Bringing out strong zombies will make them harder to control…" I looked over these zombies and knew it was safer to release them all forward, not giving them any chance to grow stronger or try to break my control over them.

But their numbers were still low. I needed to wait for half an hour before thinking about sending them to their demise.

My main concern was that if I gave them time, they'd end up being rogue.

However even after waiting for one hour, nothing like that seemed to happen. They all stood and gathered in many groups, waiting for more orders.

The first time they got my orders they showed the same reaction. Their bodies shook and they seemed to struggle against my commands. But after that, nothing alike happened again.

I didn't fear the enemy would recognise them. Once the orbs finished maturing, Legend was fast to move the waiting forces to move forward and join the fight.

The new warriors were fresh and they looked at the battle going on up front for long hours without being able to join. Their blood was already boiling with the desire to fight.

So the moment they joined, the entire stalemate was crushed. They killed their way forward for miles in the next hour, getting much closer to the outer ring defensive forces.

The Hescos started to show signs of moving their troops into defensive formation. They were ready to welcome the incoming warriors, but they were about to get disappointed.

The moment the warriors got near the Hescos, I gave the order for all the zombies to move out towards them.

Their movement came as a signal for Legend and all the waiting forces to move. The zombies coming out from these dens were already from high grade monsters. So the zombie dens were of low level, the zombies coming out were exceptionally strong.

They moved fast, and to my surprise the warriors moved in tacit understanding, clearing paths for these zombies to walk through.

"Walk through the paths," I gave the order so the zombies wouldn't smash into my forces while advancing. Seeing the grand number of zombies run through the gaps my warriors created, alongside the large number of flying zombies hovering over their heads, made me feel weirdly excited.

It looked as if I was fighting on their side. And just as the zombies were getting closer to the defending Hescos, two different types of forces appeared from my controlled region.

I saw swarms of drones taking off, forming giant clouds with their bodies flying together. But at the same time, I saw another large group flying up at the same time, forming different shaped and coloured clouds.

Chapter 1192 Falling Into The Trap

"Suits? There are more of these suits? Amazing!" I couldn't help but turn towards the faraway Garry who was leading his people to modify the drones.

It seemed he expected my gaze as he instantly turned and gave me a confident smile and a thumb up.

It was always amazing to have such capable people by my side. I turned to observe this crucial moment of this battle, hoping things would end up as I imagined.

I kept myself busy by the preparations of the orbs and forgot about other things. Suit force was responsible for stopping the brutal advance of the Hescos before.

Seeing the large number of the suits flying alongside the drones made my heart throb violently in my chest. It looked perfect, simply perfect.

The Hescos on the other side were still in the dark. They kept moving and preparing for the incoming enemies, thinking that these zombies and flying drones were just for show.

The first to reach their territory was the zombies. The ground zombies already passed through the gaps in my forces ranks, reached the outer lines of the Hescos defences, and started killing.

I couldn't hear a single sound through that feed, but I could see the brutal shocking fight that started between the two sides.

The Hescos left the races at the outermost layers to defend and act as fodders. But compared with those they sent into the region controlled by my forces, these ones looked a bit special.

Their bodies were much bigger and they wore thick armors, held great weapons, and gave me a strong feeling. But when they met the zombies, they seemed like kids trying to fight adults.

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

The zombies lunged at the enemies, ripping and tearing their bodies and gears into shreds without any difficulty. I looked and all I could see was one side overwhelming the other, like a landslide crashing over weak grass.

The lines of these races weren't that much actually. The Hescos just used them in an attempt to stop the incoming enemies, aiming to slow their advance before their elites would join the fight.

In their scenario, the Hescos should be reaping easy kills without any speck of danger. But in reality they failed to do so as the zombies proved to be much more formidable enemies than what they imagined.

And when the ground zombies came to face the Hescos at last, the flying zombies worked in cooperation and flew down at the Hescos.

The Hescos found themselves fighting enemies on two fronts. They could deal with both, but for a reason they failed to do so.

The Hescos had to divide themselves into two parts before the battle started. The ground Hescos took the frontal lines, while the flying ones took the task of protecting the deeper places.

In their eyes, they never doubted the ability of their defences to stop my forces. And that confidence stemmed from the dense defences plus their overconfidence in their abilities to rival and triumph any race in direct fight.

But when the Hescos at the forefront faced attacks from two directions at the same time, they couldn't put up a fight against the zombies.

The zombies might be low grade ones, but they were driven from a formidable bloodline of monsters. As zombies retained the abilities of the original monsters and living beings they were formed from, these zombies were indeed scary.

In just ten minutes, the frontline was already shaken and many lines were deformed and devoured by my zombies.

And the bad news for the Hescos was that there were more zombies coming at them from my dens.

Just when I thought the Hescos would be generous enough to let my zombies kill to their hearts' extent till the walls of their defences, the Hescos suddenly moved.

The earlier shock coming from the zombie's appearance was gone. These Hescos were indeed something else. They sent many of their flying Hescos to aid the frontline, in addition to a grand wave of light that started from many towers.

I saw the tops of the towers shine brightly before releasing some sort of a pulse wave. The waves merged together, forming one grand dome shaped wave of black energy that moved towards the front.

Despite it looking like a wave formed of light, it travelled slowly. But this low speed gave the chance for more towers to shine and add more power to the incoming assault.

The dome shaped energy looked quite dangerous, but I frankly didn't know what it was going to do.

And just when my attention was focused over the incoming attack, I saw the ground shook and many holes appeared in the middle of the zombie forces.

"'Damn! They are sending everything out!" I didn't need to wait and see what was coming as I already guessed it.

They didn't even send the flying Hescos and activated the weird defences all over the forts there, but they also sent the underground Hescos troops as well.

But seeing all this made my eyes shine, and I even laughed. "Do you think we are this hopeless? Do you think our main force is these zombies? Hahahaha!"

The zombies might look scary and formidable, and with all the preparations my forces did, it looked as if they were the main force of attack.

But it wasn't! The zombies never were the main force of attack. They were just the decoy, and the enemy perfectly fell in the scheme without even knowing it.

As things went hectic on all fronts, I shifted my eyes towards the flying clouds that stopped just a few miles away from the frontlines.

They'd give anyone the false impression that they stopped thanks to what the Hescos did. Strangely and luckily enough, the timing of their stop and the arrival of all the Hescos counter attacks was the same.

And that made the enemy drop more attention off the shoulders of the flying drones. They might be wary of my suits, but as they stopped in their tracks in such a way, they'd believe they must have done the right thing.

Chapter 1193 The Drones Attack

"That kid is really blessed with luck," I couldn't help but smile when I thought about Legend. Even coincidental events like this were happening out of the blue to help him.

Were the successful men over history blessed by luck like that or what? Anyway it was great he was serving me, and that meant I was going to reap benefits from his luck.

Thinking about luck made me sigh. The disparity between this Legend and that jerk, the jumper, was like heaven and hell.

One was blessed by luck, aiding any action he was doing, while the other was the total opposite. Thinking back about how dire the situation the jumper was facing right now made me sigh once more.

Even if one was capable, he wouldn't be able to fight against bad luck like that. I hoped the jumper's luck would shift and change for the better, be more like Legend.

As I saw the clouds stop, I noticed little groups of drones broke free and found their way through the incoming attack.

They flew higher, evading the encroaching dome formed by the towers.

Just when I was thinking about how these drones would evade the dangerous dome of energy, the dome showed a change.

It was moving slowly since the beginning, but all of sudden it turned like a running leopard. The dome changed shape, formed some sort of crescentic halo that looked like a grand scythe blade coming at the zombies and my forces beyond.

"It's a deadly attack," I frowned while looking at the light speeding new scythe shaped wave of energy that almost crossed the distance between the old dome and the zombies.

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

Then like it was controlled by something, the blade fell lower, moved in an arc, evading all the Hescos and landed heavily over the zombies.

I was sure if I was there, I'd hear a violent and scary rumbling sound, followed by a series of explosions. All I saw was light flashing all over the zombies, taking them by force, engulfing all of them in one large circular halo of black light.

The light once fell over the zombies and got slightly weakened. It turned from pitch black into black with white wisps like cracks all over its surface.

Once fell, the blade stopped moving as well, releasing tons of dust clouds that rose high in the air, masking even my vision for long minutes.

Scary! It was scary! The light faded after a few minutes that looked as long as decades. Once the light vanished, all I saw was a deep crater formed in the place where my zombies took.

Millions of zombies were taken out in just a few minutes, simply like that. The Hescos retreated fast the moment the dome changed into its offensive form.

The defences of these Hescos devices weren't just for show. They weren't for defence, weirdly they were for offence.

"Damn! They don't need to defend… All they need is to hold the enemies enough for such a scary attack to take shape then retreat. Formidable! This is how brute force can shake the entire world alone!"

Even if they were my enemies, I couldn't help but admire them. Such a race wasn't just lucky to come on top of the entire race in the universe.

They got what it took to reach the top and secure their place without any competition. Who would dare to take such formidable force head on?

But when I was admiring them, the drones that flew past such scary attacks finally landed.

I got distracted watching the scary attack earlier, and after the blinding light that appeared and the terrifying explosion that followed, I lost track of these drones.

But at this moment, I saw rose shaped redness appear from the direction of the defences back there. When I looked over, I saw many towers got hit by my drones, releasing a wide area explosion that swept away many towers in the process.

Sound was shielded from my ears, but I saw the entire grand defensive structure shake for a brief second. I didn't know if this was an illusion or aftershock of these explosions, but it meant my drones were able to take down these towers.

If I was there, I'd not hold my hand back anymore. Just when I was thinking about starting the whole out attack, I watched the dense massive clouds move.

That Legend… That kid really knew his craft very well.

It went without saying what this kid wanted to do. Just when the Hescos were taken by surprise from these drones, the entire swarms of drones started to move fast.

They didn't move alone, the suits followed and stuck around to defend them. At the same time, more zombies dared to step forward, coming at the huge crater than appeared after the recent explosion, not fearing from taking another hit.

That is what one would call a perfect fodder. They never feared death, never feared anyone, only wanted to march forward, only wanted to come at the enemy.

I loved this kind of fodder! These orbs would become my next favourite way of attack from now on.

This time the zombie didn't attack alone. The forces who stood all this time behind started to move. When I looked at them, I noticed that the entire region controlled by my forces were filled to the brim with warriors.

During this time, warriors kept flooding the region without stopping, taking their positions and waiting for further orders.

"He wants to throw everything at this one attack," I read through the intentions of Legend. That kid wanted to take down a bite off Hescos, one way or another.

Hescos proved to be quite challenging and very resourceful. Their quick response before was a clear red flag, one that Legend didn't miss thankfully.

So the chances for the Hescos to ignore the incoming zombies and focus over the dangerous drones would be higher. Even with such a large number of suits protecting them, things wouldn't end up that well.

Chapter 1194 Making A Hard Choice

If the drones had such a high chance of failing, then Legend decided to push everything he got forward towards these Hescos.

Even the far away weapons that kept all this time silent started to roar again with flashes of deadly lights, landing over the entire defensive structure and hitting towers and walls without any reservation.

It looked like a real doomsday over there. Legend used past time and moved the weapons forward, making the far away defences fall in their range of fire.

Attacks came from everywhere. And they all looked deadly. The Hescos were thrown into such a messy situation, having to choose from different scenarios, all looked terrible to me and to them.

If I was in their shoes, I didn't know what to do or select. Any choice I'd make would end up by stopping one assaulting force and neglecting the others.

If the Hescos ignored the zombies and the incoming warriors, they'd be able to stop the imminent threatening drones and suits. But that would require all the flying forces Hescos could control to take part, trying to buy time to activate that scary offensive attack once again.

Even if they aimed to just shield their defences with a dome, defending and not attacking, it would still take time.

If they did so, they'd stop the threatening drones and risk losing too much of their flying forces. At the same time, the ground battles would be controlled by my zombies and warriors.

Not to mention the attacking weapons that launched fire like dropping rain over the towers and walls. If they were given enough time, many of their defensive structures and forces would be killed.

And they'd have to face the terrifying number of zombies and warriors combined with the weaker races and Hescos on top of the walls right now.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

It might seem advantageous to them, but that was on paper. Practically speaking, they'd be dead even before the flying Hescos would take care of the drones and suits.

Even if they tried to activate their defensive shield, or try to turn it into a scary attack once again, they'd fail.

Selecting any choice would result in their loss, and I couldn't tell which decision would yield less losses than the other.

Of course they could decide to go on all fronts at the same time, dividing up their forces, but that would end up in more devastating damage to their defences.

I watched in curiosity and waited for what choice these Hescos would make.

But as the clouds of drones and suits flew over the defences, and the ground forces engaged with the few lines of defences standing between them and the walls, nothing else happened.

"They are still stuck in their daze, not knowing what to do," I got that they might be quick witted, but they weren't that invincible.

I was, after all, the one holding the advantage right now. I didn't feel the same pressure or threat they were facing. So it was easy for me to think rationally and in such a calm way.

Not to mention I knew what was going on to the deepest detail. As for them, they just were speculating and trying to gather up clues to understand what was going on.

Just as the drones flew over the defences, many started to fall and explode over the defences. All I saw were tons of roses appearing, expanding in a fierce way all over the place, taking in their way many towers and defensive structures.

I soon noticed that a single drone was enough to take away tens of towers, turning an entire zone into chaos. When I noticed that, I realised why Garry was in such confidence before.

That dude seemed to know how devastating the drones were. Or to be more precise, he knew how deadly the grenades were.

A single drone was enough to take down tens of towers. So each zone would take the hit from three drones to be rendered useless.

As the drones kept flying forward, more towers were destroyed. Soon the Hescos seemed to make up their minds. Instead of going after the ground forces, they decided to go towards the drones.

Just when the swarms of flying Hescos appeared alongside many flying races on their side, the suits accompanying the drones acted.

The number disparity wasn't that big actually. The two sides clashed midair, and deadly fights erupted from the start.

"Another flying force? Hescos is bringing everyone to take down my drones!" My drones looked deadly, but they had one hellish weakness.

Once they attacked their target, they'd be destroyed with it. So with time, more destruction would come to the vast defensive structure out there, but with it less drones would be left.

If the Hescos were smart, they'd try to attack the ground forces and let the drones exhaust themselves. Even with ten thousand drones, it felt impossible to take down even half of that grand structure.

When my forces started to venture over the defensive zone, more of it became visible in my eyes. It gave me the impression that the entire planet was covered up in these dense defences.

I couldn't see an end to these defences, and that meant even with ten times the number of drones, I wouldn't be able to take down all of this.

Seeing them rush towards the drones made me frown. If things were really like this, then why were they in such a rush?

Something seemed off here, but I couldn't place my fingers on it. I knew I had to wait for a little longer, and that mysterious weakness or fear these Hescos were trying to run away from would get revealed in front of me.

Then I'd simply use the right way to exploit such weakness, making these Hescos bleed more.

The Hescos came from different directions towards my drones and suits. The suit force tried to do their best to stop these Hescos, but the numerical advantage was now in favour of the Hescos.

Chapter 1195 Let's Die Together

Even if my suits were strong, they wouldn't be able to counter a force that was three times in size bigger than theirs. And such a gap was increasing in alarming ways.

"What will you do now?" I knew things weren't going as planned, so I looked at the grand battlefield in interest.

If I was there, I'd simply use my technique, take control of as many Hescos as I could, then turn them over their comrades.

Fighting such battles was my turf. But Legend wasn't me, and so I waited and watched in anticipation, wondering what this kid would do next.

And what he did took me by surprise to be honest.

Just when I thought Legend would give up the flying battle, call the drones and suits back, saving as much as he could, something else happened.

The drones that were in the middle of the protection of the suit force started to move. I thought they were going to drop over the entire defensive structure down below, taking away all they could with them.

But what really happened was for the drones to break up into many groups, with few going towards the incoming Hescos. The Hescos once spotted these drones coming close to them started to fire, and many drones were hit and engulfed with flames.

I watched as hundreds of these drones became balls of light in mere seconds. But before the Hescos would turn away their weapons, these balls of light kept moving forward.

"Damn! They are moving towards the Hescos, aiming to detonate in the middle of them!" I looked in awe towards these drones, not knowing how they were able to do such a thing.

This time I knew such a move didn't come from Legend, but from the ones sent by Garry. If anyone knew everything about these drones, then it would be Garry and his people.

The Hescos realised what was going on, tried to fire again in an attempt to detonate these scary drones. However they were one step slower, didn't manage to stop the incoming drones.

Just when the drones came closer, many Hescos tried to flee. But the next second these balls of light expanded, engulfing many Hescos in the middle as they kept expanding.

If I was there, I'd hear a thundering explosive sound, ending up making me and others deaf. In addition to that, seeing such a scene would make anyone look in awe, fear, and respect towards these drones.

Many of the Hescos who came from the deepest zones of these defences were taken down merely by hundreds of drones.

And like a strike of thunder, the overwhelming advantage the Hescos had just was crushed and lost like this. My suits regained the upper hand again, and they started killing more Hescos who seemed to be petrified from what just happened.

Using this period of disarray, the drone started to fly towards more towers, exploding and taking away tons of them.

It seemed perfect, but as I was watching all this from a high vantage point, I knew it wasn't that great. This success was unexpected and cool, but it was still limited.

The number of drones flying over there wasn't enough. Even when the Hescos got paralysed by the sudden kamikaze actions of the drones, the drones couldn't take down lots of towers as I imagined.

I thought they could take out at least one tenth of the entire defensive structure. But as more of that grand structure appeared, I could only hope for two or three percent at most.

If we got lucky, we might push it to five percent.

"Damn! They sent more Hescos again…" just when I was watching the magnitude of damage these drones implied, I noticed the appearance of swarms of Hescos coming from the deeper regions of the defences.

They came in large numbers, dividing up into many groups. Just seeing this made my scalp numb.

At least tens of millions of them were heading that way. "'What? Are they this generous to throw away such a large number of their elites?"

I got confused seeing this. The flying Hescos looked like a special form of the Hescos race. I saw tons of ground Hescos, slightly smaller ground diggers. But flying units were still the fewest out there.

But with such large reinforcements, it looked like these Hescos had a large number of these elites, and they were ready to sacrifice them.

Just as they approached my forces, the drones moved like usual and tried to detonate in the middle of them. Just as the drones got hit, they turned into balls of light and kept approaching the Hescos.

"A shield? Interesting!" almost a hundred metres away from the incoming balls of light, a transparent shield appeared, stopping these drones from getting closer.

All the light balls stopped at a fixed one hundred metre distance, seemingly like they got stuck in the middle of deep sand or sticky liquid. They tried to move forward, but couldn't. And at the same time, the Hescos kept flying forward without lowering their speed or changing their trajectory.

"Wow! They are aiming at mutual destruction…" I could see the two sides getting closer from each other. The Hescos sent a few millions to face off the drones using their shields. And then they kept moving forward, driving them about to explode drones near my suit forces.

It went without saying what they wanted. They just sent a fraction of their forces to take out the annoying drones and suits at the same time. They'd have to pay a large price for that, but it was worth the exchange in my opinion.

If they managed to clear the suits and drones, the imminent threat at their defensive base would be gone. What'd remain though was the attacking ground forces, the ones which were having a brutal fight against the ground and underground Hescos and races at this moment.

As the Hescos came closer, the suit force suddenly broke up, scattered all over the place, buying themselves distance from the incoming threat.

Chapter 1196 Losing The Aerial Battle

The fight changed all of sudden into a cat and mouse chase all of sudden. On one side, the Hescos were gathered together, unable to follow my suits in such a chase.

On the other side, my suits broke out so that each group had around one hundred or less fighters. They filled the entire sky and kept retreating and flying away from the Hescos.

If the Hescos wanted them dead, they had to break up like how my suits did. But when I watched for the next few minutes, I felt that Hescos couldn't take such a move.

"So these shields required lots of Hescos to operate them… Interesting…" Just as the Hescos tried to break their forces to the maximum number of groups, many of my drones became freed from the clutches of these shields, exploding massively over the Hescos, killing lots of them.

The shockwave was enough to drive away lots of Hescos and interrupt the formation of many shields. The few million Hescos could only divide themselves to one thousand groups at most.

And when they did that, at least one tenth of them got hit by the drones or got in the middle of the backlash of the explosions happening around them.

Each drone of mine was like a nuke, exploding fiercely and sending out deadly shockwaves, covering up a large area around.

In a few minutes, and with the explosion of many drones, tens of thousands of Hescos got killed, and hundreds of thousands got wounded.

Seeing this, the Hescos charged forward once more with more ferocity. They tried to take out as many suits as possible using the wide ranged explosions of the drones.

As the two sides finally clashed, the sky was turned bright by waves of deadly explosions. The attack that was designed for the Hescos backfired and took away a large number of suits.

But in the end, no more than ten percent of the suits were lost. It wasn't the result these Hescos dreamt to have.

During this chase, more drones found their way towards more towers at the bottom, cleaning more of them and adding more damage to the enemy.

"Garry," seeing this aerial battle was approaching its end fast, I looked towards one direction and shouted. The leader of the research department people here moved and came to my chariot.

"Lord… We still need more time," he was smart enough to guess what I wanted to ask him about.

Hearing what he said made me sigh. We started this with a strong hand, but unluckily we didn't have the power to follow up.

"Go and prepare more drones then," knowing it was impossible to send more drones to the frontlines anytime soon, I decided, "this time, I want hundreds of thousands of these drones fully armed and ready to take down tons of these towers. Also prepare as many suits as the department can make."

"I understand," he just said this, but I felt from his tone that such a task wasn't going to be simple or easy.

I knew this would take a long time, maybe days, but this should be done. Trying to break down these defences brick by brick wasn't going to work.

Either we use a brutal way to disassemble the entire thing in one go or we would end up failing.

The Hescos might be taken by surprise this time, but the next time they would be more prepared. Even if they had no other way but to sacrifice their kin, they showed me the resolve that they would take such a step without hesitation.

They already produced such troublesome shields. It was still requiring lots of Hescos to operate it, but who knew? Giving them time, they might perfect such a defensive shield and let it be controlled by fewer numbers.

If that happened, if they added more ways to counter my drones, then using this way wasn't going to bring any more results.

I sent Garry back before returning to watch the ongoing battle inside that world. As expected, once the counterattack of them failed, another wave of Hescos came flying and targeted the drones and suits.

With the decreasing amount of drones, the Hescos found it easier to take down more suits. And with the rapidly decreasing number of drones, the destruction of the Hescos defences came to a halt.

"Tsk, they only destroyed almost three percent of the entire defences," I measured the size of the damaged parts with the entire grand structure and shook my head.

Ten thousand drones and hundreds of thousands of suits could only do this damage. Once the drones were gone, the Hescos finally found it easier to fight against my suits.

The aerial battle was raging wild, but at this moment the ground battle was showing more brutality. The Hescos sent an endless stream of reinforcements to the frontline, stopping the unstoppable advance of my forces and zombies.

The zombies showed their ridiculous advantage. As more forces fell, more zombies started to come up from the ground, taking the power of the deceased individuals, and all were listening to my orders.

Even if the newly formed zombies weren't that strong compared with the zombies coming out from the dens, they were in large enough numbers to count as a decent force.

And they didn't attack solo. They got mixed with my forces and the vast number of grander zombies around. After a few hours, the newly formed zombies took the frontline as fodder, while others kept fighting from behind.

The weapons kept throwing their deadly fire all over the place. The defences kept getting damaged under the persistent fire, and many of the incoming forces from the Hescos side were killed by that way.

Yet that didn't help much. The number of forces coming from the deepest parts seemed like endless sea waves. They kept coming, attacking from all directions and killing my forces.

After five hours, the aerial battle showed a change. The flying Hescos got the upper hand at last thanks to their constant reinforcements, pushing back the remaining forces of suits and controlling the entire sky.

Chapter 1197 The Tables Are Turned

The fight looked dire at this moment. I knew this was going to end bad for my ground forces. They were already having it hard dealing with all the Hescos coming from the front and underground. And with the addition of the flying Hescos, things would turn worse.

"Tsk… At least we controlled a good area out there," I looked at the bright side. The defences might have gotten a small hit, but it was enough for my forces to claim a zone there.

Without towers, the Hescos couldn't control this region anymore. But for my forces, the entire place was filled with walls and heavily defended terrain, making it a good spot to make a stand there.

Up till now the Hescos were having it nice thanks to the forward motion of my forces. They never stopped for even a second or tried to make advantage of the heavy defences there.

If they did, they wouldn't be able to march ahead anymore. So they abandoned any defence, and kept the crazy offence.

But now things were heading towards the defeat of the offensive forces. If they kept pushing forward, they'd get all annihilated.

I knew how smart Legend and that grand general there were. So I didn't think about sending anyone to warn them.

During the next few hours, the aerial battlefield headed to a final showdown. The suits retreated all the way back towards the areas controlled by my forces. And now the fight was going on top of my fighting ground forces.

I expected the suits to take their final stance there. Then they'd try to prevent the Hescos from taking control over the sky.

But as the suits retreated this far, they didn't stop. They fought the Hescos bravely, but kept retreating nonetheless.

It seemed weird. They were heading back towards the initial region controlled previously by my forces. There, the dens were situated, alongside the endless stream of warriors coming to join the battle from the portal at the centre.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

If they led the Hescos there, it'd be more like inviting the wolf home. This looked quite insane, and for a moment there I felt regret to not warn Legend the grand general there about this.

"I should have sent them messengers earlier and told them to start defending," I moved my eyes back to the frontline and noticed that my forces were still trying to push their way forward.

Even if they got heavy resistance from the Hescos and their allies, they were still moving forward nonetheless.

It didn't make sense. The aerial battlefield was already lost. There were no more drones to use. And the enemy just sent endless reinforcements to stop my forces and eventually they'd succeed.

Sacrificing more warriors wasn't going to work. And with the sudden retreat from the suit forces, the flying Hescos were just this close from the reach of my zombie dens and route of support of my warriors.

It was a bad move, no matter how I looked at it this seemed quite bad.

But just as I was feeling more puzzled with such actions, a sudden change happened that shook the entire battle.

The flying Hescos were already on top of my zombie dens. The number of suits wasn't enough to even stop their advance or protect the dens.

When I thought the Hescos would turn towards my dens, and they showed signs of doing this, I spotted many dots flying from all over the regions controlled by my forces.

These dots came from the region my forces previously controlled, and from the areas recently controlled that belonged to the defensive region of these Hescos.

When I looked closer, I was surprised to see two things coming fast towards the flying Hescos; apaches and flying zombies.

"These zombies… They were missed in the entire battle… I thought they were gone…" I was shocked to see this. I was aware of the strength of the apaches.

These killers did a great job at the earlier battles around the portal. But they vanished since then, and I never expected for Garry and the research department to send more of them out there.

Seeing the large number of apaches moving from the ground around the portal made my blood boil with excitement.

The number of these apaches was huge! I'd say they were in tens of thousands at least.

How did the research department do that? I knew this wasn't just a last minute action from them. They must have stockpiled lots of these apaches for a long time.

When I realised that, my thoughts drifted towards another matter. If these apaches were there from the start, then it would be astonishing that Legend and that grand general out there didn't use them before.

Even I got fooled by them. These two… They were indeed capable.

Realising the deep plot the two masted made me laugh.

The attack didn't come just from apaches. If they only used apaches, then the chances of success would still be low.

The Hescos were in millions, so it wouldn't make a difference of using tens of thousands of apaches to stop them.

It'd end up like using a rock to try and demolish a massive mountain.

But these apaches were supported by an immense number of zombies. The zombies came from the frontline, the ground in between the defences and my central region, and the dens themselves.

These two managed to hide the presence of the flying zombies even from my eyes. I thought the flying zombies got killed during the brutal aerial battles. But it seemed this wasn't truly the case.

The sheer number of these flying zombies was enough to make me believe these two cunning generals started stocking these flying zombies from the beginning.

The zombies flew high in the air, forming dense clouds that came swarming at these Hescos from behind.

From the front, the suits joined the incoming apaches, hitting the Hescos without any regard to their safety. And from behind, the Hescos were entrapped with the flying zombies, ending up having no way to retreat.
