The enemy tried all their best to stop me, but they failed. After counting for two minutes, I stopped, used my pillar again, and activated the shields once more.

The newly formed shield got connected with the ones lying behind it. I did the same except for taking out weapons.

I already deployed all of the weapons I got so far alongside the Bulltors. All this time, the weapons never stopped roaring and sending hell over the far away Hescos.

I couldn’t see through the thick veil of attacks landing over my chariot and shields yet. So I never knew how bad the damage my weapons dealt was. I hoped the Hescos wouldn’t use some sort of cheap method and copy me and use shields to protect their lands.

And even if they did, the magnitude of my weapons was enough to tear any kind of shield as long as it didn’t come from any valuable treasure or artefact.

What I wanted to do was to put pressure over these Hescos as they placed some on me. If they thought I’d just lay back and wait for them to finish their plans then they’d be gravely mistaken.

I deeply thought about what I should do to cause them trouble. After going through everything I could do, the best method was this.

Bringing the battle all the way up to the place they least expected to have a fight there was the best. At the same time, the Hescos would end up dividing their forces to stop my invading armies.

And this was just the start. I planned to lay out zones on top of the base I just conquered and fill this entire surface base with my forces.

I didn’t use everything I got so far. All I was doing was to bite a small area each time I moved. Until I finally hit a massive obstacle, unable to handle it, I wouldn’t stop doing this.

The weapons would keep putting pressure over the Hescos far away from here. I regretted not being able to see anything, or else I’d better let my forces adjust their aim to hit the enemy where it would hurt them the most.

p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 But it was fine. As long as I was causing them trouble, messing up their perfect plan, I was satisfied.

I kept invading and adding more lands to my controlled zones. At the same time, I kept strengthening warriors and increasing their numbers in my inventory.

I didn’t know how long I kept doing this, but I wasn’t a bit worried about the ongoing battle in the hole. As I just started invading here, I made sure to send a message for Sara.

I asked her to keep me updated about the ongoing battle down there. At the same time, I warned her against any abnormal moves and events happening there.

She kept asking, and I just kept saying less about this. But as things developed this far, I just gave her a head up warning about what she might face.

When she learnt about the possibility of Hescos’ trap, she felt furious. She cursed them and spoke about how terrible their generals were, leaning towards the pathetic tactics instead of clashing head on against her forces.

I didn’t say much to her about this. I knew what type of person she was. I just comforted her that if that happened, she’d find a much more interesting playground for her forces.

And she promised me no matter how much came to her, she’d end up crushing all.

I knew she was honestly speaking, but at the same time this was indeed a daydream. Against the endless forces of the Hescos, her efforts wouldn’t matter much.

I just hoped what I was doing here would relieve lots of pressure coming later on at my forces down below.

*Rumble!*

Just as I was doing just fine, something fiercely crashed against my recently formed shield, stopping the shield from going any further.

I looked at the direction of that sound, and there I spotted something new.

“So the paragons decided to move?” I squinted my eyes when I saw what stopped my shields from moving out.

I knew that paragons were limited and restricted much in their strength before the fifth quest. Back then I was able to easily crush these paragons easily using my abilities and forces.

But right now things are different. The paragons already gained part of their powers back. And that included the ability to use strong and unique treasures and artefacts.

The thing that stopped my shields was nothing else but a special treasure. All I saw was a grand shield like a turtle expanding for miles in front of my shield.

The two shields clashed together and ended up stopping my shield’s advance. It wasn’t enough to take down my shield, but at least it stopped me from going forward any further.

I closely inspected this turtle shield. It wasn’t like the shields produced by my pillar as it was all hard and looking like it was a real thing.

My shields were transparent, only seen after clashing with them. If one looked closer, it would appear like the turtle shield got stopped by mere air.

As it looked like a real thing it meant its defensive abilities were high. I couldn’t tell its level, but it was for sure much stronger than a single shield of mine.

The shield that clashed against that turtle one wasn’t just a single shield, but a collective gathering of all the shields I summoned and survived this far. And such a number was indeed huge.

To be able to stop all these shields with a single turtle was indeed a clear evidence on how strong this turtle shield was.

Taking down such a shield would prove quite challenging even to me. Yet there was a good thing about it. If the owner could use it freely like me, then he wouldn’t have to wait all this time before using it.
