His speed was acceptable, and he was doing just fine in my eyes. It wasn't as great compared to how I'd take down such a zone in much less time if I was there.
I knew what he argued with before was right. The enemy was now focusing on too many fronts at the same time, and he did not have enough support everywhere.
So it was expected for the enemy to lessen the defensive forces at their home bases during such times. After all, their home bases were the mightiest and most formidable defensive places in the entire quest small universe!
If I was the one leading the charge, taking down a base wouldn't take more than a day or two. But it was still remarkable for that dude to manage to control a base in one week.
"Are you going to invade the world now?" When seeing me, Toramos didn't say anything in greetings like others.
This wasn't the time to waste on such silly and useless things.
And that dude was quite smart, enough to read through my intentions, or guess them quite right.
"I'm going to take down as many worlds as possible."
"You want to force the enemy to support the final world?!!" Tormaos seemed a bit shocked when he heard my words.
"Isn't it better for us to use these worlds to divert the enemy's forces around?!" Lily was also feeling the same kind of shock, having the same line of thoughts as everyone else.
"If I don't do that, then these worlds will turn from being their source of distraction to ours!"
I didn't need to explain much, and from what I just said, everyone here got what I meant.
They remained silent, while the twisted look on their faces told me how they truly felt.
They were feeling conflicted about dealing with such an enemy. The thing they all thought and took as one of our trump cards was actually going to be the poisonous thorn that the enemy planned to stab us in the back with.
If not for my words and actions, the few very intelligent folks here would have totally missed such a great point and scheme, would miserably fall into the enemy trap, ending up in a very bad situation indeed.
"Let's not waste more time," I shifted my eyes around, "which portals lead to the emptied worlds?"
"This, this…" Lily heaved a deep sigh of helplessness, before pointing towards four portals.
"Ok, I will fill them with warriors, and you know what you need to do."
"Giving them stat crystals and such," Toramos sighed, but not in the same way like Lily, "do you need anything from us to help?"
"No, keep the fights going on like usual," I paused before adding, "when there is a chance, push forward, add more forces there. I'll try to create chances for the forces there, and the rest is up to you."
"Got it," they watched me leave through one portal, where it led to another emptied zone.
I kept taking out my warriors, filling these zones to the brim, before jumping in between the zones using the portals at ground zero.
It took me half a day to finish that. And then it was time for me to go and visit these worlds.
[Which world has the highest number of enemy forces?] Once I got done, I returned to ground zero, and asked Lily about that.
[I'm going to lead you there] I waited for her for half an hour, before she finally appeared in her chariot with everyone.
It seemed she dealt with this zone as the headquarters of the entire war, and dealt with her chariot as the brain of such headquarters.
"This portal will lead you to a zone," she pointed towards one portal nearby before adding, "the world there is the one leading to the gods' world. The enemy there is quite fierce, having the most fiend forces out of all other forces."
"Isn't it the nineteenth world?" I recalled this one. It was the world that got the weird god race.
It was one of the few worlds that attracted my attention back then. This race was the ancestors of the gods in my universe. Even the shrines and the way the gods worked using blessing and blessing points were present here.
Shrines were present here as shrine families, and this race supported others in return for blessing.
The world was on the verge of collapsing. It was in the heart of a terrifying black hole, and the members of this race worked to stop the destruction of their world.
But they had disasters from time to time, making their numbers fall, and that was the reason behind their imminent destruction.
I didn't know what disaster befell them, but I could get it now. If each time the golden quests got activated, the fiends sent out tons of forces into their world, then this could be the disaster happening to them.
Or it might be something else, however this was the only disaster I thought about for now.
If that was true, then I could only hope to kill too many of the enemy out there, balance things out.
As for why the enemy focused on that race in such a way, I could guess a thing or two.
From the description provided by the system list from before, this race was able to give anything back for blessing.
Be it weapons, stats, strength, defence, or even treasures… This race could transform the fate of entire armies and races in exchange for that mysterious blessing of theirs.
As for what blessing would actually do to such a race, I could only consider them like stats for me and others in the apocalypse, in the universe.
"This world alone sucked up the entire armies of two zones," Toramos' tone was filled with bitterness and weirdness, "and even with all of that, we didn't get a stable foothold there."
