Chapter 317: 317

They all sat in the village manor building where he sat on the middle chair there and was surrounded by everyone. He said at first:

"This meeting is very crucial. So, if anyone here took a task, he must be sure to complete it. If anyone here has any idea that might help, don't hesitate to say it. Now, let's start with the current situation of this war."

Ibro looked towards Erond who started to speak at once:

"Our territory now is completely free from these demons. We have scattered all our current troops at all the border cities without exception. 

Although we have huge armies of mixed origins, we barely can support our long frontier."

Ibro nodded his head while he looked towards Gorsag who started talking:

"We have accepted nearly 1 billion players so far, plus another 500 million were freed by our king. We have still long streams of players joining us from this world, but we have no NPCs yet."

Ibro nodded as he started speaking towards the commanders:

"You are the original inhabitant of this world. You have relations with all NPCs and powers here. Do any of you have any idea that might help to solve this issue?"

Topan exchanged glances with all commanders here in the meeting hall, then he said:

"We already discussed this matter while we were inside the pocket space. We have many connections and now we are pretty confident that many commanders will be willing to serve your majesty."

Ibro smiled as he decided:

"That's good; I want all of you to start moving at once. That will be your task and you, Topan, will be the leader of such a move."

Ibro then looked towards Rinobak as he ordered:

"Your responsibility is to ensure the printer is working around the clock without any pause. My empire depends entirely on these small magical stones."

Rinobak knelt as usual as he replied:

"I will do my job perfectly, my king."

Ibro nodded, Rinobak was one of the oldest here and he always did his jobs successfully. Ibro then directed his speech towards Erond and Gorsag as he said:

"Your job is much harder than all of them. You need to take control of my empire and keep it safe. There is also another important job. Those 500 million players and NPCs I freed have many who came from alien worlds. 

I need you to find them and try to convince them to help us with their worlds. As they can move here, we can move back to their worlds too."

Erond nodded his head, while Gorsag asked:

"Are we going to attack these worlds now?"

Gorsag doubts were logical, but Ibro didn't plan to take such risks for now. He just vaguely said:

"Just gather them and know all the info available about the situation of their real worlds. I will formulate the plan according to your info, so don't belittle this mission."

Gorsag replied at once:

"I won't dare to do so, my king."

"Good, now it's time for you my alpha death knight. I have summoned nearly 500k death kings. Summon them all now in the village and let their armies take part in defending the empire."

The death knight replied with obvious happiness:

"Your wishes are my commands."

Ibro then looked towards Maya as he said:

"I have a mission for you, my love."

Maya's body trembled involuntarily. This was the first time Ibro called her like this. Her face showed a tinge of redness while saying:

"Just say what you want to do and I will do it."

Ibro smiled as he explained:

"I will move into your pocket space with my death knights and kings. I will modulate your pocket timing to run faster than the real world. 

I want you to select the most courageous cultivators of yours, and then you will roam this world freely. Any demon groups you meet just send them to the pocket space. 

Don't worry about the number of demons you send to me, the more you send the better. Also, send both demons and players with demons seeds, don't differentiate between any of them. Here, take these stones. I recall your empire had nearly 2 billion cultivators. Make them all join my empire."

Maya took the storage ring without any hesitation as she sent it into her pocket space. She instructed her men to start distributing them. 

She had already tied herself regardless of the reasons with this man. His downfall was her end, so she would make sure he continues in his hard road victoriously.

"Now go and do your jobs. You can notify Maya if you want to reach me anytime."

The leaders of his newly formed empire began to move. Maya summoned 1000 of her most capable cultivators. Ibro took them to enter the village cultivation hall. Each one selected a class and a skill. 

They were speechless after doing so, as they formally entered the game. 

Ibro then asked Rinobak to add Maya to his friend list and explained to both how they could use the simple functions like sending and reading a message, making voice and video calls, and how to form teams. 

Ibro then was ready to move. He waited for half an hour before the reappearance of his alpha death knight. He was followed by 500k death kings. 

All knelt on the ground once they left the teleportation portal and then Maya sent them all inside her pocket space. Ibro was ready, his men were ready, and Maya was ready.

Once Ibro entered the pocket space of Maya, he said to the system:

'Have you noticed any movement from that trash system?'

'No, it is still faking innocence and weakness.'

Ibro remained silent for a moment, then said:

'Don't let your guard down. Did you change the time speed difference between here and outside?'

The system replied at once:

'Yes, your 10 days stay here equals one day outside.'

Ibro thought for a second before saying:

'It's good, but it would be better if it was longer than that.'

'I feared from consuming more energy. If I become weak, that sneaky system of your girl would attack me or you. It's safer that way.'

Ibro didn't argue with the system about this point. He knew that safety was their top priority here is this pocket space. Ibro decided to fight the war in this way as he needed time to amass his skeletons. 

His skeletons needed battles to upgrade in ranks. The best solution was Maya's space, which provided a mobile fortress for his forces. Ibro then said to the whole death kings:

"Start using your summon techniques. All the summoned skeletons will be arranged by the alpha death knight and his main commanders. Every while we will have some unwelcomed guests, treat them nicely, and don't let them live long to complain."

Ibro then started to summon skeletons using his death summon curse. Each minute he could summon 100 million skeletons. His 500k death kings could summon 500 million every 10 minutes. 

Ibro's skeleton army began to be formed in huge intimidating numbers. Ibro knew these numbers weren't enough at all, especially more than half would lose their lives for others to upgrade in ranks. 

He needed to face the demons' armies, the players' armies, and the NPCs' armies. Just these skeletons wouldn't be enough to stand against any single one of them.
