I needed these sets of gears, needed them to form much scarier forces. Even if I couldn’t summon enough warriors, I still got tons of them inside my inventory.

Arming these up might not be as deadly as arming Hectors, Berserkers, Dragons, or a mix from Hectors and Dragons.

As I decided, I acted in a decisive way.

“Lord, your orders?” Lucas appeared, flying just near me with his berserk orange fire.

“Lead everyone, kill and leave none alive,” I pointed towards the direction of the fiends before pointing towards the direction of the Exomachines, “don’t get near them for a few miles. Kill anything else beyond.”

“Leave this to me,” he flashed, and in the next half an hour, I kept taking all the soulers and reapers from my inventory.

They got to gear up themselves before. And I summoned them back during my journey around this piece of the world.

And now it was time for them to show me their worth. I waited on my chariot, doing nothing but to watch two directions.

I watched Lucas leading the grand number of soulers, flash over the seemingly endless sea of fiends, crushing them in such a fierce shocking impact.

The soulers were real beasts against any foe! They just needed to flash through their bodies, and then the enemy would fall.

I watched this before turning to watch the Exomachines. “As expected, they got orders to protect the holes, nothing else…”

I guessed such a thing before. However I also knew the leaders of the enemy armies were watching closely my actions at these moments.

Even if they gave such orders before to the Exomachines to stand on guard, they might get a change in their minds.

That was why I decided to take the full force of my soulers out. Doing this might seem as overkill to the fiends down below, but it was needed to deter the enemy from sending their Exomachines out.

As long as these scary folks kept watching in silence, nothing bad would happen. But if they decided to act, then I was ready for them.

At least I’d gather up more intel about them than just those I gained from watching them from far.

Using my tens of millions of soulers to kill the slightly over one hundred million fiends in this area was indeed an overkill. My soulers took much more time travelling to each fiend than the time needed to kill them!

In less than half an hour, the ground was filled to the brim with dead fiends. However the enemy didn’t even stop sending them out.

In fact, they started to send locusts as well. It seemed the enemy wanted to crush the scary ability of my soulers and nullify it using numbers.

Well… They were quite determined to keep Sara’s forces busy here away from these tunnels. Tsk! What a loss for their forces in the end!

Trying to stop my soulers using such lame tactics? That was nothing special at all!

I kept watching for a few more minutes, and my soulers proved to be real killers. I was quite sure that Lucas was laughing right now while having his fun and such a rich meal.

After seeing such futile attempts from my enemy get foiled, I summoned lots of normal warriors. “Collect the gears, arrange them here until I come to collect them,” I gave them such an order, opened a portal and vanished hurriedly through it.

I already had a big pile of gears waiting for me back at the central zone. I went towards the first ring and found my warriors there had finished doing their task a long time ago.

“Go and help others in various battles,” I got lazy to call them back, leaving enough stat crystals for them on the ground before collecting all the loot.

As I got done with this, I got close to twenty million or more full sets and almost the same as incomplete sets or slightly more.

I returned back, and found out that the enemy mistook my intentions.

They thought I left out my soulers here to keep their fiends and locusts from reaching the deeper lines of my forces. As they watched me retreat and appear back at the central zone, they increased the rate of their offence.

And they ordered part of the Exomachines to aid their forces, in addition to Silences as well.

Well… They finally sent out their Exomachines! I wasn’t gone for more than half an hour, and yet the battle showed such a hot clash between the two sides.

The Exomachines were real killer machines! Even against the fully armed soulers, they proved to be quite the foe.

Soulers didn’t need more than one flash to kill a single fiend. But against those Exomachines, a thousand of my soulers were needed to take down just one of them.

The main reason behind this lies in the weird way these creatures were made out of. Their bodies and inner organs were all formed of metal. I even doubted they got a soul.

But when I saw they fell under the concentrated assault of my soulers, I realised they indeed got souls. Or else how come my soulers were able to kill them?

My soulers were deadly killers against any living creature with a soul. But they were unable to cause any physical damage at all, and all the damage given would be soul based.

p So if they managed to kill these Exomachines, even after using a thousand flash to achieve that, and after losing almost tens of them in the end, that proved these creatures got souls.

“Time to see if my techniques can work,” I used such a chance to learn everything possible about such scary foes, and see what was the best way to kill them fast and with the lowest losses.

After all, killing one of them at the cost of a few tens of my precious, fully armed, soulers wasn’t something I wanted to see!
