I knew by doing so I’d waste lots of time. But I had no other choice but to do that. If I dared to send armies to help, then I’d fall into the trap of my enemy.

The Hescos realised that I survived the blackhole they prepared for me at the second battle world. So they started to move and turn the remaining worlds into traps enough to do the same effect or even better.

I had to admit, they were indeed geniuses! Even when I didn’t fall for their trap back there, they didn’t think too much about this and jumped over such failure.

And this idea alone was brilliant! They didn’t have to send or expend any forces of their own and in return they managed to stop my armies and even prepared such a trap for them.

To crush such a scheme, I had to step in personally and take charge. I was alone enough to change the outcome of such battles.

Weren’t they using fortified towns and cities to stop me? It was a piece of cake for someone like myself.

But in return for that, I knew I had to get entangled in these seven words for a long time.

So this battle turned from a battle to trap my forces and consume as much forces as possible into a battle against time.

And so the moment I appeared there, I started to summon my personal army in full force, and gave them orders to start attacking these towns and cities.

Before that, I paid a visit to my second Earth world and spent hours there sacrificing souls to strengthen myself.

I spent over five hundred million souls this time for the healing sacrifice alone! I wanted my forces to not lose too much, or else joining this battle would be pointless.

I came here mainly to stop adding more forces to these worlds. And so I didn’t keep my hands from the start.

I used all the warriors at my disposal, even those monsters I kept amassing for such a long time. I also used the pillar’s skill, and let the shields take out lots of damage before firing them back.

I used my bones to power up these shields with enough power, enough to take out the shields of these towns and cities.

These shields might pose a challenge to my forces, but not to me. In less than a few hours, the shields were cracking open like eggs shattered against rocks.

My shield’s explosive attacks were enough to sweep these shields and crush many of them in a short time. And once the shields were gone, the forces stationed inside were easily killed by my forces.

Not to mention I kept using my technique in the middle of all this. These shields might stop physical attacks, but not my threads.

So when any shield was brought down, the attacks came not only from outside but from the inside as well.

Powering up my shields and releasing deadly attacks all over the place took quite some time. After all, my shields released a wide range of attacks, not focused on anything.

At the same time, these attacks also swept my forces away. But it didn’t bring much damage to them. I kept my hand and controlled the ferocity of these attacks to not harm my forces.

I had to stack up many attacks to wear the enemy shields down bit by bit.

Once the first towns and cities got controlled, it became easier to handle the rest.

“One world is down,” I had to admit, in each disaster an opportunity also was present.

Just like here, this battle looked quite difficult to win at first. But the moment my forces started to control many cities and towns, things started to roll in my favour.

I didn’t only gain many towns and cities that were situated near to each other, suited to be considered a mighty defensive base for my forces in this world, I also gained tons of the race fighting us here.

This race had huge buildings like Selvators and Berserkers, and they were quite efficient at military battles. As I recognised their openings of cultivation bases, I started to aim to control more of such races.

I spent almost one day there, and ended up gaining the allegiance of tens of millions of them. At some point, I stopped helping my forces to take away more towns and cities, and instead led my chariot around to take in more of these race members.

The ones I controlled were ordered to move out of the defensive shields of their towns and cities, go back and join my forces.

By the end of that day, my forces didn’t end up losing too much of their numbers, their size even swelled by five times at least.

After one day, I reached the end of this gathering of towns and cities. I took ten more hours to sweep clean the far away from the ongoing battles, towns and cities, and turned them all under my control.

These towns and cities were located at the periphery in such gatherings, and they surrounded the entire region in huge circles.

I didn’t just end up solving this problem here, I not only gained tons of more forces who would work for me here and in other worlds, I also gained control of the shielded towns and cities.

Right now this zone was surrounded by at least ten layers of heavily fortified circles, filled to the brim with forces belonging to that race.

In brief, I secured this battle and provided my forces with such a heavily defended place to consider a good base for future invasion.

I spoke a little with the generals leading this campaign and made sure they’d make the best use of these forces. They also had to speak with them and gather more intel about the world here.

These folks were the native of this world, and so they could save me tons of trouble if they were used in the right way.
