Chapter 339: 339

Ibro then looked to Erond as he said:

"Have you acquired the stones from the village?"

Erond saluted his king before he replied:

"Yes, and we distributed it to all the players, my king."

Ibro asked again:

"What about connecting to cities in other worlds?"

"We managed to connect with 50 cities so far. The rest still didn't respond to us."

Ibro put in his mind the possibility of city destruction. If so, then he must find another way to reach these worlds. Ibro then said:

"Good. Now, I want you to make skeleton armies each formed of 2 billion skeletons. In them, there must be at least 1 million death kings."

The alpha death knight replied:

"Your wishes are my orders. But, my king we don't have that much yet to cover all the worlds."

Ibro waved his hand to him while moving outside the walls of the city.

"Don't worry; just form skeleton armies one after another. Once you finish assembling one army, send it immediately towards the new world with players."

Ibro moved outside the city with the alpha death knight behind him. Gorsag was still engaged with the players. Erond was busy trying to connect with other cities. 

Ibro used his flying divine ability and started to summon his skeleton army. Every death summon curse use granted him 100 million skeletons. 2 billion skeletons would need around 20 times only. 

In between this, Ibro would use the ultimatum energy to summon death kings. Forming 2 billion skeletons with 1 million death kings didn't take an hour. 

Ibro was like a machine, he never took a rest and his output was fixed. Every one hour, his armies would march to the city and use the teleportation portal to reach the new world. 

Erond was responsible for tracking the armies. He also sent some of his men to monitor the situation there and bring back intel. What Ibro noticed was the time needed for all this army to be teleported. 

Each army would take from 1 to 2 hours to finish. Ibro thought about using another city to fasten things up, but he let go of this idea. There was a hidden enemy watching all his moves. 

If he did that, he would risk it more. It's better to be focused on one area for now. Ibro continued forming his armies for nearly 10 days. During this, the demons never stopped attacking here. 

Ibro didn't need to stop his task, as his armies in this region were enough already. After 10 days, there were more skeletons than needed. Ibro had formed more than 200 different armies.

"Have you managed to connect with more cities than last time?"

Ibro asked Erond once he entered the city. Erond replied:

"Yes, my king. We are now connected with 124 world."

Ibro nodded as he sat on the throne inside this city palace. He then asked:

"What news did you have on the world here?"

Erond took out a huge map that he gave to some of his aides. The map was more detailed than ever, with many marks and notes. Erond then started to explain:

"As you know, we are now in a world that's formed of mainland domains and overseas domains. This newly drawn map was formed after gathering a huge amount of data. 

The mainland domains here are scattered over three main continents. We are now in the north continent. 

Per your orders my king, we searched for all the cities that had a weakening effect over the demons. We found 700 cities that had such a phenomenon so far."

Ibro interfered by asking:

"How many cities are still resisting the demons?"

Erond pointed out towards some areas in the map as he said:

"All the cities are resisting the demons except for these. There are reports about demons entering and leaving these cities without any hindrance whatsoever. 

That was a weird thing actually, but the weirder is all these cities are the main strongholds of the local powers here."

Ibro's eyes shone when he heard that. He stressed on this matter as he asked:

"Are you sure all the local powers' main cities had this phenomenon?"

Erond nodded before confirming:

"Yes, my king. They all are just like that."

Ibro stressed again:

"There is no exception or presence of other cities?"

"Yes, my king. All these demon-players cooperation phenomenons are only limited to the local NPCs powers. There is no city outside them that has such cooperation."

Ibro didn't talk as he was thinking about this plot of his enemy. He knew there were more traitors than just those cities. The worlds which got connected with here did so by linking two cities together. 

Ibro doubted the presence of more traitors lurking in the dark. If he moved and focused only on these local powers, then he might cause internal strife in this world. 

This would be a reason for his enemy to gather the NPCs from this world to attack him relentlessly. Ibro then had to find another approach, and he had the perfect idea for that.

"Gorsag, how many free players had joined our ranks so far?"

Gorsag went silent for a minute before replying:

"We have over 700 million players so far, my king."

"700 million? That's good. I want you to issue an order for them."

Gorsag asked in turn:

"What order do you wish me to convey to them?"

Ibro smiled faintly as he said:

"Select many resisting NPCs cities around the local powers strongholds and send groups of players there. Their mission is to instigate these cities' mutiny. 

Make them reprimand the actions of the local powers as they cooperate with demons. At the same time, make them highlight our efforts here. 

They then will record videos and write posts at the forums with the same direction. In two days top, I need them to ask for me to intervene and help their cities against demons."

Gorsag understood Ibro's intentions, so he replied with admiration:

"Great plan my king. I will implement it now."

Ibro didn't bother with him. Ibro knew this was a simple act against his enemies' scheme. Ibro then asked Erond:

"How is Maya doing?"

Erond felt surprised by this as he replied:

"She is still in deep sleep, my king."

Ibro sighed. He really needed her help at this time. Her presence would have added more choices to him. Ibro then set his gaze over the map. 

Huge world with his few armies… this world was hard to be conquered in a short time. 

Ibro didn't need to summon more skeletons; he had already more than enough to cover the needs of the southern cities. Ibro then asked:

"How is the situation of these overseas regions?"

The map was divided into two halves, one which had three compact continents separated by narrow seas. 

The other half was huge oceans separating scattered islands. Some islands had cities and others not. Erond replied:

"We don't fully have any news about the cities here. if we need to go there, we have to cross this teleportation portal in this region."

Erond pointed to an area where the three continents' borders were near each other. It was like a huge strait between the three continents. Ibro needed to go to these overseas domains, so he told Erond:

"There is another way to go there, that's by using special items. Ask Topan and all the commanders we got, they must know a way to these domains."

Erond replied at once:

"I will do this, my king."

"Now, go and preside over the new migration process to the alien worlds. When you gather some news about them, come and tell me immediately."

Just as Ibro was about to speak, one cultivator appeared suddenly with rushed breaths. He knelt down at once as he said:

"My king, urgent reports. The armies we sent to the worlds were ambushed by huge armies of demons. These cities were in conspiracy with demons. Our armies are asking for aides."

Ibro squinted his eyes. His precious assumptions were wrong. The enemies' didn't bother entering the overseas domains because they had already conquered them.

That would make each world had more than its half lost to the demons. This was even before the start of the war. Before Ibro could think of a solution, the system said:

'If there is still a connection between here and there, you can send a perfect aide to all of them in the simplest way.'
