Chapter 1349 The Problem Of Jerks

After crushing the other participants, they focused entirely over here. And so, the enemy opened more portals and sent more forces here.

If so… Then the entire situation wasn't just as I expected! The worlds which got cut off from reaching here didn't send a single soldier to the nine zones.

And that meant by the time I'd invade their worlds, they got endless reinforcements to send and entrap me there.

What a plan! By shifting their focus over the other ninety-nine participants and wiping them off the board from the start, the enemy now had only me to deal with.

And in return for that, I got zero chance in getting my hands over any reinforcement from these special figures.

What a twist! Hopefully that bad scenario wasn't going to happen here. Or else…

"Tsk! Even when I finally got capable people to use, I ended up fighting all alone once again…"

I placed much hope on befriending these folks. After all, they weren't just nobody or simply people with talents from their races.

They were the top elites in their races, ones who got crucified and tested by the fire of apocalypse for over at least ninety quests and finally managed to not only survive, but be considered leaders of their people out there.

I wanted to get to know such people better. They wouldn't only prove useful here, but would turn out to be great help to me later on.

Despite our apocalypses lying in far away worlds, we were destined to meet again sometime in the future.

If their apocalypse trials got this close from ending, then mine was as well. After winning the ongoing war with the Hescos, I was sure the apocalypse would come to an end.

By then, I'd start exploring the vast and endless universe. Having such number of friends coming from different races and got the chance to be specially treated at their races was something great.

However all of this seemed to go for naught if my worst hypothesis became true.

"Tsk! It seems no one came here and was quite ready as I," I shook my head in disappointment. Even if they had to face the same pressure like my forces here, why wouldn't they show their true worth of being called the top elites of their races?

They were much stronger than either me or my entire forces here. Were gaining more stats not enough to give them more security or what?

And weren't they supposed to be the top elites of their races at the apocalypse? Why would they be like paper? Not enduring these weak locusts?

I couldn't tell the answer to that question until I became sure of the end result. If they ended up being killed or forced to fortify, then that'd explain how endless sovereign candidates came here and failed.

It seemed to such people, coming here was like a trip and not a real challenge in their eyes.

I didn't know if getting rid of such careless and uninterested dudes was better or having such capable talents on my side and befriending them was.

I sighed while jumping over to the outer layer of one of the nine zones.

I randomly selected that zone, and as the other eight, this one was swarmed by endless locusts.

No matter how many times I tried to wipe these locusts out using my shields' attacks, they always came in and filled the gaps like nothing ever happened.

This time I didn't even think about using a single warrior to fill in the outer shields or something. If I did that, I'd end up blowing all the portals here, cutting the enemy off and blocking my path to their worlds.

Before I came here, I left instructions for Lily and others. On my chariot, ten generals stood in silence, including Sara and Legend.

These two stuck around when they learnt about my intentions of bringing ten generals with me. They taught other two generals how to make arrays and how to instruct others to do so.

By their words, it wasn't important if the two were leading the training camps or other generals as long as the mission was done smoothly.

I didn't agree before I examined and tested the new generals and found them capable. It went without saying how high the calibre of the generals Lily selected for this campaign.

In addition to these two, I also brought up Alex, Isabella, and Isac, in addition to other normal generals from my army.

Isac didn't have any tasks to do anymore. The building process of the entire zones got smoothly done.

And so I decided to bring her over. After all, I might need to construct something out there or fortify the destroyed defences from the ongoing wars.

Even if the races out there didn't live inside fortified towns and cities, I'd let her lead warriors and build fortresses from scratch.

As for the other girls, they didn't have too much to do here. Their zones were cleared, and it was just logical to bring them with me.

Of course that brought me a headache from two jerks.

The small jerk, the spearhead, kept shouting and yelling, desperately trying to come with me. Even if his zone was still occupied by the locusts, he dared to ask me to send another general to lead his zone while he'd tag along.

Of course I'd not do that! Even if he had such a heaven defying ability to decrease the stats of my enemies, he had a much important task here.

If the enemy decided to move out everything they had when I started invading them, then his presence here would be of great importance.

I needed him to lead the general forces here and support them by lowering the enemy strength. And so no matter how desperately he pleaded, or how important he was to my upcoming invasion, I didn't bring him with me.

As for the second jerk, the jumper, he tried many times to tag along. And he didn't just use words like the spearhead did.

He went to another level!
