Chapter 1332 Damage Control Plan

If I took these forces out, then they'd be more prepared to face them in the end. "I can use other warriors as fodders," I thought and decided to throw out warriors without any stat points to act as meat shields.

But that was all in the worse case scenario. And to my luck…

[The initial reports arrived…] After half an hour of constant flying and thinking, Lily finally sent her long awaited message.

[And?] I needed to know the current situation so I could decide which action I should do in response. If my forces didn't face much of the Silence race, then my fears and doubts were groundless and unneeded.

Nothing would change in the entire plan. However…

[There is lots of pressure everywhere] she paused before adding, [All the fronts are getting crushed from just the initial clashes!]

[All? In all regions? How so…] even in my worst expectations, I never expected for my forces to crumble this fast.

[They say there are another race coming out to help the Silence forces]

[What?!!!] This time I felt like my heart fell to the rock bottom.

They didn't just focus their Silence race wave attacks over my regions, but they also decided to add the second layer of defence as well.

Damn! They were much more decisive than what I ever thought!

[What shall we do now?] she asked, jolting me awake from my disturbed thoughts.

[Make the ones controlling the star arrays at the forefront activate them!]

[This… Shouldn't we first recall our troops back?]

[No time! Just do it now!]

[Explain it first! I won't send my soldiers to their demise without a reason!]

[Fine… This is a much fiercer race than the Silence…] I knew she never got to know the details that I learnt from the demonesse. I never got time to tell anyone anything.

So I told her a brief summary about that locust-like race.I spoke about the main points, the ones that would interest her in such a situation.

[So there is nothing like sending them to their demise. All those at the frontlines are considered dead and potentially threatening over the rest of our forces]

[This… Then what shall we do? This way we can't stop both races! And from what I received, their numbers are too much to handle!]

[They want to get rid of us first] I didn't hide such bad news from her, [So you shall expect hundreds of millions or even more coming at us]

[This… Shall we concede?]

[Concede? No way!] I knew this was the most logical action anyone in my position would think of. And that was one of the reasons the enemy moved in such a way against me.

They wanted me to lose any hope in competing against them and think about running away with my life.

However, I'd prefer to die than to let them have it the way they wanted!

When did they decide to come at me in full force? Was it when I met up with Hilary and forced that demonesse to spill everything out?

That was quite unlikely. I knew they were closely watching me, so it was good I met up with her just at the last few hours before the big war.

I thought they'd have anyway to do anything big against me. However it seemed they already placed me as their top target long before that.

When did this all start? Was it when I learnt about the Silence race? Was it when I found out about the star array?

No… This must have started long before that! Don't tell me it all started when I spoke with the system higher ups!

There was no other explanation for all this! It seemed the system higher ups got moles inside, ones who relied these news fast to the enemies out here.

As they already got me under their watch list, it made such decisive and quite daring move logic.

I pushed aside all these useless thoughts. No matter when it did start or why they decided to move against me like this, I had now to think about what I should do.

I knew that Lily and others were freaking out right now. And after learning what I knew, their level of fear would be quite unimaginable.

So waiting for them to come up with a plan wouldn't work. If there was anyone that could help me out, it was none other than myself!

I put myself and everyone in such danger, and I was the one responsible for getting everyone out of here safely.

No, not just getting out of here safe… I should take back everyone with me while we ended up victorious!

"I have to first stop their advancement…" I knew that my chances would be slim if I didn't work hard to stop the enemy's initial advance.

If they gained momentum, then forget about winning, just keeping five world regions would be quite hard to achieve!

My first response was to activate the frontline star arrays embedded inside the dense defences. This would bring enough trouble for the initial waves of the enemy. But it'd also take out lots of my defending forces.

It reminded me of the third layer of defence the enemy had, the one which was deadly enough to wipe out all the forces, enemies and allies.

[Change of plans] dire situations required strict decisions, [Make Legend and Sara distribute their forces into twenty parts. Each part will take responsibility of stopping the advance of the enemy at one world]

[This…] She knew I already planned for these two and their armies to invade the ten homelands of the enemy.

[They'll start to work from now on to train more forces on using the star array] I sent more instructions.

[They won't take part in these fights?]

[No, they have more work to do] I planned to use the help of these two into training more forces, [Let them keep the most experienced soldiers in executing the star arrays with them. The rest will be sent to the twenty worlds]

[What for?]
