Yes, but we never expected that the zones and worlds would get separated!

What do you mean? she finally managed to attract my attention away from the beauty of the new world.

The zones and worlds didn’t merge in their full size. They got segmented, separated into lots of smaller parts, which each merged away from the other

This… Is it that bad?

From what she said, each world and zone got into many smaller parts, each merged in a location away from the rest. That meant the final merge would be like an ugly picture of zones and worlds overlapping together and scattered in between themselves.

That was bad! If this was true, then all the forces here, either those who belonged to me or the ones that belonged to other races, all would be separated and segmented into smaller armies without any organisation or planning at all.

It was all based on pure luck, and on the other hand, my enemies would have their full forces ready.

Even if their worlds suffered from the same fate, something told me they already got to know about this, were quite prepared for it.

It’s… A bit hectic and messy! Everyone is fighting against all of others. And the enemy is just fishing in muddled waters

That’s normal for them to do this I sighed, Listen, anything related to the war in the zones and worlds is left over to you and your people. I got already tons of things on my hands to do

I know! I’m not asking for help, I was just informing you about the recent updates

p

They didn’t join us yet As expected! The merge wasn’t just happening in random order or anything. I was now surer than before that the enemy got total control on everything related to the merge.

Even the order of the worlds merging here, they got to determine such a thing. And if I was them, I’d make sure my enemies wouldn’t get their hands on any reinforcements early on.

Listen, make sure the top priority of our forces is to combine and meet each other. Kill anyone and anything that dares to stand in our path. And wait for the final merge to happen. Then by the arrival of our large forces, launch them all towards the enemies without any hesitation

How about you?

I’m going to travel through portals, go towards the enemy homelands for now the war has already started. And as the enemy began to unfold their schemes, it was my turn to show them my scheme as well.

Portals are messed up! and just before I’d close the chat, head towards one of the portals leading to one of the ten enemy worlds, she suddenly sent this.

What do you mean by that? Aren’t they working?! This was one of the worst case scenarios I thought about before.

If the enemy managed to deactivate my portals, then it’d be a great blow to my side.

They are working, but they won’t lead you towards the same places they got linked to

What does this even mean?! I didn’t get her point, Are they working or not?

They are! But if you took a portal towards the second zone from here, you’d end up at zone five! Or even in another world, not even in a zone!

This…

It’s all thanks to the weird allocation I told you about. Tsk! The worlds and zones are now scattered over a huge stretch of land

I got it! I paused, let the forces first work to come together and meet up. Then we’ll establish new portals using the devices I gave you before. You distribute them already, right?

Sure, I did that. That reminds me, how come you knew something like this would happen?

I got a hunch! I didn’t know for sure about anything. All I could feel was doubts and thoughts, ideas about what the enemy might and might not do.

It was just pure luck that I ended up with such an idea, and much luckier that I prepared for it a long time ago before it happened.

Or else, my forces out there would be left alone, without any means of communication or the ability to get reinforcements later on.

And to establish all these portals from now, it’d take a long time to do that! I knew by the time my forces would deal with this mess, we’d be lucky if we lost only half of our forces.

I expected chaos to happen at the early days of the merge, but never expected this to be the reason for such chaos.

The enemy… He played his cards quite brilliantly this time. And that made me more eager to go out and show them my cards.

I will try my best then Lily paused, How about this… why won’t you take a tour first, try to help in establishing new portals or something

So you are asking for my help, right? I froze for a few seconds in front of her message, before laughing out loud.

Well… I won’t say no to any help at this moment, right?

Hmm… At least help me back

What do you want?

Send troops over to the enemy side I paused, I want to know what they are going to do there. If you can, get me information about their defences and such

Will try my best

No, you’ll do it I laughed, Or else it’s better for me to go out there right away and do it myself

Tsk! I will try my best! I got little forces left to move freely, you do know that?

Not my problem! I laughed, You aren’t the grand general for nothing, right?

Tsk! Ok, I will try and find a way to contact that jerk then

The jumper?! I raised my eyebrows when she suddenly mentioned him.

You want answers. And I got no one crazy enough to take on such role but him
