1400 Using Something They Taught Me

It felt quite weird doing so, especially with all the large number of threads I got. At the same time, I got a ton of energy gushed into my body, needing my full attention to control and endure it.

However it proved to be quite natural to do what I wanted. As threads kept breaking up once they met the shields, it wasn’t a good thing to let them densely close to each other.

I started to give them space, and when I managed to do that in a small region, I noticed a few changes.

First the number of affected Exomachines by my threads increased as I imagined. However, that came at the cost of speed.

It seemed by more threads attacking the same target, the speed of cracking down the shields increased. But I didn’t know how much this change would affect the speed of controlling these Exomachines.

So I waited, and it turned out that instead of taking one hour, it took two. “Tsk, no matter how I spinned it, I’d end up getting the same amount in the same time,” I shook my head while realising that I got almost the same number of Exomachines controlled at the end.

“But that’s just by changing a small number of my threads’ area of activity,” I decided to go all out, control all of my threads to scatter around and control more of these Exomachines.

Just in the middle of me testing these things out, the enemy seemed to grow restless by what went wrong with this battle.

So more Exomachines stepped in, much larger than the earlier batch that attacked my soulers.

“Retreat!” After I tested out my technique, I knew it was time to go all out. Despite the difference in the total number of Exomachines wasn’t that big when I scattered a few of my threads over, it was something totally different when I did it on all my threads!

They have the ability to control one million at one go! And such a number would take me long hours to take down, and yet it’d take only two by my normal threads, one and half by my right hand normal threads, and thirty minutes by the thick threads.

My only regret was that the total number of thick threads I got wasn’t that great to begin with! And that made me decide to nourish them later on, add more of these to my techniques.

As I could attack one million of them, I released my threads first and took control of that million before giving out the order to Lucas and others to retreat.

My plan was simple, the enemy sent close to ten million of these Exomachines. And that wasn’t a small number of enemies to deal with.

Not to mention they pinned me down here by doing that! If I dared to retreat, then all of the forces led by Sara would be killed, and she might even end up dead.

And there was a much worse case here. If I decided to bypass them, recall all of my soulers and go directly towards the holes, then these Exomachines would simply retreat and entrap me with a number of enemies I wouldn’t have the ability to deal with.

During all this, my zombie warriors activated the dens, releasing an endless stream of zombies all over the place.

Against Exomachines, this would be an overkill for them. But against any other race fighting here, zombies put on a great show, even giving the fiends quite the trouble.

The fiends kept coming from all directions, bypassing the area of activity of my soulers, fearing them. Despite that, trying to fight Sara’s forces wasn’t that easy at all.

She got her own souler army as well. Not to mention the newly arrived zombies who didn’t stop when the fiends flew high in the sky.

These zombies gathered up like crazy, forming great hands that started to hunt down these fiends. The fiends had to unleash all of their deadly attacks and gears, but that was futile.

Zombies never felt fear, never even thought about anything at all but to eat the flesh of those living nearby.

So trying to scare them away wasn’t going to work. Despite having a similar breed on their side, the locusts, these fiends showed weird moves that would be best described as stupid mistakes!

They only depended on their gears and ability to fly to get away from these zombies, and yet they failed!

To counter zombies, they needed to use their zombies, the locusts. If they pushed an endless number of locusts against my zombies, then the entire situation would have changed.

I calmly watched my soulers retreat, dragging behind a scary gathering of these Exomachines towards me. However, no matter how scary they were, they wouldn’t do anything in the end.

My plan was simple. I didn’t intend to use my newly controlled couple of million Exomachines to stop the ten million coming at me.

Doing this would end up quite bad. Instead, I’d use something they intended to use a weird phenomenon they showed to me before.

“Stop,” after waiting for half an hour, the entire soldier retreated, passed by my chariot, and ended up a mile behind.

Then I gave them the order to stop, while starting my next move.

During this retreat, the Exomachines ran with all their might after my soulers. They didn’t manage to reach anyone, as my soulers were moving quite fast.

Even when they used their weird energy beams, the best thing they managed to get was to slow down my soulers, forcing them to flash to the side or even forward again to evade the incoming beams.

During such chaos, and while the enemy was focusing over my soulers, I infiltrated my one million Exomachines within the grand army of them.

And without realising this, I managed to create many cells surrounding tons of these Exomachines.

When I used such a method before, the Exomachines didn’t dare to touch their folks. However this time I was doing it on a large scale from the start, and when they were running fast, chasing after my soulers.
