"Sorry about that, but I have to borrow your portals," I held a bone, indeed, activated it. It was a dark realm red grade bone, and to activate it fast, I got to use my board and shorten the time I'd spend in activating it.
I activated many of these bones, leaving only the last moves to activate and detonate them. And then I moved, headed directly towards one of these portals, and passed directly through it.
This was a portal linking two places in the same world, and that meant I didn't need any authorization from the enemy to allow my passing.
During all this, I let out my warriors from inside the shield ring outside, moving fast towards the enemies that came from the still growing in number portals.
And like this, a big and brutal battle started. As for myself, the moment I passed through that portal, I found myself standing in a different place in this world, one that was filled with tons of forces that were about to pass through this portal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI didn't even spare them any time to check over their numbers, didn't even care about where this portal got linked towards. I simply took out my bone, finished the last move, threw it out, and passed again through the portal.
"One is down…" and just as I passed through the portal, I could hear the loud cracking noise coming from it. The fire exploded the moment I threw out my bone, and it was ferocious enough to bring down any damn portal.
I didn't even turn around, instead flapped my wings fast, and went towards the next portal, and the next, and the next. I kept jumping like this between portals, spreading death all over the places I could reach.
The enemy was quite generous to deliver to me different main bases and camps of their forces over to me. And how could I be rude and not accept such a gift?
They thought that I'd follow their plans, turn this entire place into an attrition battleground? Why would I do this when I got the best option out there, and I would kill a shitload of the enemy forces without the need of losing anything but a few red bones?
I didn't process more than one hundred redbones before. And when I got to the ninety something portal, the enemy seemed to realise how futile and destructive this move was for them.
And so it was quite expected that they'd take the initiative and close up all the portals here. I just attacked ninety or slightly more bases of the enemy, and they got quite shaken by this amount.
That meant their losses were quite big. I knew if this continued, then at least one third or more of the enemy's entire forces in the world would be caught in this fire.
They brought tens of thousands of portals, linking tens of thousands of different places to here. That was just a clear indication on how strong the enemy was, how vast their forces were.
And that meant how long this war was going to take.
If just the enemy did the same mistake again, delivering their bases over through portals, then it'd be simply great. They'd save me and my forces.
But as the enemy retreated for now, and that was a piece of good news as I didn't have enough redbones to cover all of these without feeling the pressure, it was time for me to claim my races.
I had to wait for a few hours, before my warriors managed to kill all the remaining forces here. I thought about using my cube, but knew this was going to be useless as my cube wouldn't work in the enemy hometown territories.
As I waited, I started to gather bones again. Just from this battle alone, I gained hundreds of red bones, dark realm bones, enough to make up for the ones I just used now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen the entire place was filled with my forces, totally falling under my control once again.
I was now taking more forces out. The place here was already volatile, and I couldn't guarantee my control over it even while being here. Then how about I'd walk away and get busy with different areas?
So I started to fill the entire shield ring zone with warriors to the brim. At the same time, I called back all the Kings, letting the enemy come here, to see if my current defences and preparations were enough or not.
I didn't wait anymore and started to build up many portals, the ones that got developed by my research team. I was just making sure nothing wrong would come after doing all this.
I took roughly five hours to get all this done. I used around a hundred portals in this region. This was going to be quite tricky, as the portals would move away my forces with the races, but it was just a precaution.
During all this, the enemies kept coming here like a raging ocean. They came from all directions, and tried to go directly towards the race bubble to crush it down.
But my forces started to kick in and kill them. This time I left around ten million Kings to help my forces here, alongside ten other millions of soulers and reapers.
The enemy seemed endless, but they also were quite powerless.
They had to fly over an ocean of fire, ending up with a massive ring of shields. Just crossing the shield ring zone was quite risky, as my Kings and long ranged warriors kept hunting them down.
But that wasn't enough to stop all of them from reaching into the safe zone in the middle. And getting there meant they had to face up my ready forces at the ground, the ones who kept coming at them no matter where they landed.
Even if they kept themselves in the air, and tried to fight and hunt down my forces on the ground, they also failed. First my forces would retreat back into the shields, and also there were my Kings.
