One by one, I jumped from one zone to another, wiping out endless locusts in cold blood. After taking a full tour through all the twenty zones, I returned back to the second zone.
I took almost one hour to do so, and when I returned I found the situation typically like what I expected.
The world was filled with endless dead bodies of the locusts, while the new ones were finding it difficult to move in between such weird gatherings of dead bodies.
Their number wasn't that high yet, and I estimated they'd need a couple more hours to end up forming a great army around my shields.
"Ti to build more shields out there then," I didn't know how far this wave of energy reached, but I got the feeling that it went past the places I saved before in my staff.
I took out my staff and moved to the stored point here. As expected, the entire ground was littered with dead bodies of the locusts, while new ones were racing against ti to reach my central region.
Yet their numbers were much lower than what I found back at the previous zone. And that made regret not using the sa trick out there before coming here.
If I did, I'd have wiped out all the locusts surrounding even my advanced shield zone.
"I can return back and do that after getting done from this," I muttered to myself while knowing that facing these locusts was going to be a long battle.
Their numbers looked endless. But right now they were still trying to build up montum and numbers, not in their perfect state.
I decided to move forward like what I did back at ground zero. The more I advanced, the more locusts I saw dead and alive.
After flying for half an hour, I stopped and started to spread out my shields. At the sa ti, I took tons of warriors to handle the locusts, leaving behind instructions about killing the wounded and incinerating the dead bodies.
As I flew for a bit longer, I took slightly one hour more than what I did back at the first zone. By the end, I finished scattering enough shields to hinder the advance of these locusts. At the sa ti, I left a wide enough gap to let locusts reach my central area as well.
I saved many places there, before returning back to the central zone and moving to another region.
The more zones I worked on, the more locusts I found at my central zone when I jumped to the next zones.
That was sothing expected. In The end, it took around three hours in each region. So after five to six zones, enough ti passed to make the locusts swarm the entire world again like nothing happened.
Even the dead bodies of the killed wave of locusts ended up being covered with the newly arrived ones.
That made the formation of shields and spread of warriors look the sa as the first ground zero zone.
It might look like a bad situation, but it didn't stop from deploying my shields and warriors.
By the end of the last zone, I estimated it would last more than one and a half days at least.
After lasting for this long away, I returned back to ground zero after checking on the current training situation of my warriors under Sara and Legend.
Both were quite absorbed in doing what I asked them to. And it seed from their responses that they got news about what I was doing all this ti in all the regions.
[What's the situation right now?] I jumped back to ground zero before starting to take a wide tour around.
I didn't hurry to jump to the frontline shields right now. I knew as long as my warriors kept themselves inside, killing those locusts would be a breeze for them.
But my greatest worry still lied at the unseen yet Silence race.
Everything would be quite fine if that race kept themselves away from here. I made sure to lead enough locusts through the shield zone so that the enemy wouldn't doubt anything.
[It's still quite the sa as last ti you left] she sent this ssage before adding, [The locusts are coming in great numbers already. However thanks to what you did, we are holding up quite fine]
[And the Silence race? Did they appear?]
[Not yet]
I already kept examining the zones which I jumped at before for any traces of the Silence race. I even took more care towards checking the areas I created my shields at, especially at the last five zones.
I knew by then, enough ti passed. If the enemy suspected anything, then it'd be enough for them to mobilise their Silence race troops.
Yet either my act was quite perfect and they didn't suspect anything, or sothing else kept them from sending the Silence race here.
If there was sothing stopping them from sending two races at the sa ti here, then it'd be simply perfect!
I'd take my ti to tear apart all the locusts they'd send at . And that would relieve from dealing with such troubleso foes when invading the ten worlds of the enemy later on.
"Ti will tell," I muttered to myself, knowing that getting such an answer wouldn't happen anyti soon.
[Keep defending then]
[Aren't we going for the offence? We can deal with the number of locusts attacking the central zones quite easily now]
[No!] my answer ca firm and swift, [Don't move a single soldier outside, got it?]
[Ok!] I knew she didn't get the entire picture, and I didn't intend to explain anything.
What I wanted to do most right now was to keep killing these locusts while thinking about what I should do next.
According to my early plans, I should have stopped the first incoming enemy waves before trying to send out Sara's and Legend's armies.
