“What are these…?!!!”

The look of shock remained on their faces for more than an hour. This time, I didn’t take it slowly and kept flying fast, flowing past the huge number of armies stationed and gathered down below.

I needed them to study the enemy thoroughly. But regarding showing them the true might of his kingdom, I didn’t need to take it slow.

In one hour, we passed over almost one tenth of the gathered forces here. And since I appeared here, Lily and Angelica joined the tour using their chairs.

Unlike the generals and old friends here, these two grew used to such a large scene. Their faces were calm, and I could see a familiar face riding in Lily’s chariot.

It was Alex!

Seeing the calm look over her face made me sigh inwardly out of relief. I despised that jerk who tried to ruin such a good flower.

“These are what I took all this time to build,” I looked at the shocked and curious faces of everyone before slowly adding, “and this is just a tiny fraction of what I really have.”

“Are you going to lend all of them to us?!!!” The shocking tone of the spearhead was natural as everyone else would speak in the same tone if they opened their mouths.

“Stop bull**ting! Giving what I painstakingly accumulated for all this time to such losers! Humph! I’d rather lock you all up than do it!”

“Then…”

“This…”

“Come on! You promised just before bringing us here to give us benefits and support!”

Everyone who was suffering from my punishment looked pathetic while only the jumper had the courage to speak back to me.

“I’m not a man without honesty like you,” I rolled my eyes before adding, “each will gain part of the cake, but according to your past horrible records, you’ll only gain a little compared to others.”

“At least we can get some…” Isabella sighed while the others nodded their heads in agreement.

Getting slightly less than others wasn’t that bad. And that was my intention from the start.

Just sending them empty handed out there was like a death sentence for all of them. I was displeased with their last actions, but that didn’t mean I wanted to get rid of them.

“As you saw, the Hescos race is really terrifying and hard to deal with. But…” I paused, moved both hands around before adding, “we aren’t pushovers. We have the power to retaliate and fight back evenly with them.”

“I can see you did a lot of thinking and preparations on that matter,” the jumper showed one of the rare moments of being serious, “and that means you already got a plan, right?”

“He does,” at this moment, the three ladies jumped over the two chariots and joined others. With warm gazes and hugs they greeted the old friends they hadn’t seen for a long time.

In others’ eyes, we didn’t see each other for more than one and half months. However in reality, and in the case of the four of us, we didn’t see them for years!

That time manipulation concept was really frightening.

“I see you shared your thoughts already with them,” the jumper kept putting on his facade. If he showed such slip of tongue once then I’d take it as one rare incident.

But keeping doing it meant he was purposely putting on a show. What? Did you think by suddenly growing wise I’d let you off the hook? Not that easy, bud!

“Can’t you share these with us then?” he gave me a silent gaze while his mask covered up his face.

“Well, to be honest I know nothing about any of these worlds,” first let me shatter that fake pretense of yours. You thought highly of yourself! “I just have the intel about the presence of Hescos in many worlds, that’s all.”

“That’s… All?!” he looked surprised as this didn’t match what he thought about. This jerk thought he could add some merits by adding his thoughts out, putting an air of a wise man.

Screw you!

“He really doesn’t know anything,” with a soft chuckle, Lily said. This Hector girl seemed to read through the jerk’s intentions while laughing inwardly at his bad luck.

“This…”

“With might, nothing can stop us, right pal?” I patted on his back, and the next moment his body flew up like a cannonball, slamming heavily against the rail of my chariot.

“Cough… Cough… Don’t use this much strength again!” as he stood up, I could only laugh in content from his appearance.

I just used part of my personal upgraded force. Right now my cultivation base soared and I wasn’t the same pushover like before.

However, playtime was over. “Now we will discuss more about what awaits up there…” I started to slowly describe again everything related to the three missions in my mind.

The first hard challenge would be the fifth quest. For that, I randomly selected a few of the new faces here to hold down the fort. I also promised for myself to interfere at the early stages alongside many of the armies here.

I wasn’t going to let these few greenhorns just take the troublesome task of dealing with the zombies.

Zombies weren’t that easy to deal with. Even with such preparations, I knew the upcoming storm was going to be hard to counter.

In addition to that, I needed to test the theories behind the zombies. If what I learnt about was true, then it was going to be a great help later on when dealing with other worlds.

Then I started to speak about the world’s invasion. It came second in my priority list. I emphasised the importance of being decisive out there and trying to establish strong footholds there.

“We will need more than just a few reinforcements out there,” Sara seemed to be troubled with this task, “just letting the few of us go and scattered across the world won’t work.”

“That’s why we are going to make the best use of the portals,” I shrugged as I already thought about this tiny problem a long time ago.

“What do you mean?” The look of many showed puzzlement and I could guess the root of this.

During all this time, and while fighting for our lives in the apocalypse, the concept of these portals was all vague to all.

However, as I knew their true value, I wasn’t in the dark like them.

These portals should link to any world controlled by the race controlling them. So in theory, it was like a fixed gateway opened all the time for them to receive reinforcements all the time.

After slowly explaining this vague concept to them and clearing all the doubts, they finally could rest assured and even a few laughed.

It was easy to guess my intentions from what I said. If I said I’d punish them before, then it was just a mere casual punishment.

I’d rather not risk losing my gains just to punish them. So my intentions of sending out reinforcements all the time were clear.

Of course they just witnessed the tip of the iceberg. This world and the pocket world within were like factories producing forces all the time non-stop for my kingdom.

So sending out constant reinforcements wasn’t an issue for me. In fact, the longer they managed to drag these early battles at the worlds out there the better it was on the long run.

Last thing I discussed was the golden quest. I knew this was vague for most and even I didn’t have such good apprehension of it except for what I learnt from the Toranks before.

From that I could simply say that this golden quest wouldn’t start early on. It would get activated in the later half of the fifth quest at best.

“So, I need all of you to work fast in these worlds, expand the territory of the kingdom out there and build lots of forts. Like this, when I ever need any of you to retreat and come with me, you won’t leave behind a big gap.”

I summed up everything regarding this plan. In fact many factors harboured fog in front of me and everyone else.

But at least I got a plan and a direction to work towards.

“So there is a chance you’ll call for us to join that quest?” the jumper asked the obvious, making me gaze up at him in silence for a few seconds.

Dude… You were possibly the only one knowing about me bringing you into this quest for sure. Why did you bother asking?

“Just do your tasks and don’t let me down,” I totally ignored his question while looking at others, “I made lots of preparations and will be greatly enraged if you messed everything up. Don’t let me down, or else even killing you won’t quench my anger.”

I did on purpose give all of my friends and generals who messed up before a bad time just for these words. The more I harshly treated the old ones, the better the results of my threats would be over the new faces here.
