But things were quite good in the inner zone, near the portal. The apaches there finished clearing the flying Hescos and only few remained alive, trying to run for their lives.

The ground fight was now getting heated up to a higher degree. The apaches which were freed from the aerial battle were now joining the ground one. As for the warriors, their number swelled up to form almost two thirds of the entire forces in the middle zone.

Such an increase helped pretty much in turning the situation out there to my favour. But without a way to cross the holes, this advantage would mean nothing at the end of the day.

Most of my warriors were stuck outside the portal right now, unable to enter inside. I knew the place out there was crowded, and that frustrated me.

If I got this time to send more reinforcements then I wouldn’t have to worry about anything. But my enemies got all the time in the world to send their forces, and I couldn’t.

It was indeed quite frustrating.

As things seemed to not change for the next few hours, I finally shifted my attention back to the world around me. The ones sent by Lily came back with many flying beasts.

I already have many monsters as warriors in my inventory. However I didn’t intend to use them. I knew that little Qi was feeding and breeding monsters to a scary degree. So it was meaningless to use my own monsters and intended to use the scary dudes from that qilin.

I let the qilin play for a long time already. It was time to collect my interest.

Different shaped monsters came out from the portals linked to the second Earth world. From their outer appearances, I got the idea they were somehow related to each other.

I knew how my little Qi performed his plays. He used monsters to feed on others and grow stronger. If that was true, then it meant these monsters got part of the ones they consumed.

And that made their outer appearances look slightly similar. In the next hour, at least hundreds of thousands of them appeared here. And more were still coming.

Looking at their huge bodies made me sure about the transport task I’d entrust them with.

The moment they appeared, Garry led his people to start working over these monsters.

I watched tens of thousands working over a few thousand monsters which appeared first.

I keenly watched what they did. The first thing they did after climbing over these monsters’ backs was to scatter some sort of special material over the monsters.

This material was liquid form, but once touched the backs of the monsters it turned a little solid. The liquid wasn’t that hard, but it looked enough to stabilise things over.

They kept placing this material until its thickness grew for a few metres thick over the monsters’ backs. I got the feeling this substance was heavy, but when the monsters flapped their wings and flew around to warm up, I knew it was quite light.

Then they started installing different types of modified human weapons all over the backs of these monsters.

Using the material they scattered first, installing the weapons wasn’t now an impossible task as I expected. Each weapon had its own group of tripods that stuck deeply into this material.

I looked closer and the feeling I got from this material was that it was in a semi-solid state, acting as a cushion for the weapons.

Despite my worries, when the teams finished installing dozens of different weapons over the backs of each monster without affecting their flying abilities, stability, nor speed, my worries vanished.

One batch after another, these teams led by Garry were performing quite well. And I had to admit, they were quite fast as well. They didn’t take more than a few minutes to finish installing these dozens of weapons and their ammunition over these monsters.

Seeing the monsters they finished processing and the fresh ones coming from the portal made me feel a great shock. The monsters coming out from the portals looked like they were naked, without a single gear or weapon, or cloth.

As for the ones having these weapons, they looked like true ferocious beasts. They left quite the impression in my heart, especially when few warriors landed over their backs to try the defensive weapons.

First thick layers of sturdy, cool looking ore shields with metallic lustre appeared all over the monster bodies, even covering up their feathers, horns, and talons.

Just these shields added a dreadful appearance to all the monsters. And that wasn’t the end. The next was some sort of halo type of weapon that engulfed each monster with fire like clouds in different lights.

Without the need to test anything, I could tell these monsters got lots of boost at most of their stats. Their speed skyrocketed, their agility became something else. And I felt like their strength was doubled at least.

Then the defensive shields appeared in the form of oval shaped balls of light that I knew how strong they were.

Seeing all this made me have more hope in that battle. Despite Garry’s pleas to send the monsters done with these modifications out to that world, I refused.

If I sent these in small numbers, then the impact given wouldn’t last forever. The Hescos were just a smart race to be reckoned with. I wouldn’t overestimate my abilities and underestimate their intelligence.

So I had to show off my hand in a shocking and crushing manner, not giving them any thoughts about how to deal with my new trump card.

Unlike what Garry requested more than ten times already, I kept myself patient, kept these monsters hidden here and didn’t send them out to the other world.

I waited for another three hours until I got over a couple hundred thousand flying monsters.

This was barely enough to carry millions over the holes. I was keeping an eye on what was happening over the other world. The battle there was close from over in the central zone.
