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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hescos!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pan,d a-n0vel “Are there Hescos?” she was smart to get what I meant by this order. If I wanted more of these anti-Hescos forces then it meant there were Hescos over there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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