As mad dogs, they ran towards these shields, wanting to devour these and the warriors inside.

Seeing such a scene made me frown. I totally forgot the effect of taking out my warriors to these creatures.

They were like zombies, mindless and would only care about eating more flesh. Taking out my warriors here changed the current course of the battlefield entirely.

"At least my shields can stand in front of them…" I didn't stand idle after realising what was going on and started to fortify my shields by adding others.

In the span of the next hour, I kept creating shields around, filling them with my warriors, and dividing up the locusts into many smaller armies.

Each surrounded my shields. And no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't take down my shields.

The energy absorbed from their attacks were added to repair the damage in my shields.

As for my warriors inside, they kept fighting the entrapped locusts. After killing all of the enemies inside, I gave an order to kill anyone with wounds, incinerate all the bodies with fire.

During this hour, I scattered lots of shields in this zone to count. In the end I stopped and didn't keep doing this.

"I need to let these locusts keep heading towards the central area…" I slowly muttered, putting the grand picture in my mind.

I could easily stop the flow of these creatures towards my forces at the centre. Yet if I did that, I'd attract the attention of the Silence race, and might even force them to join in.

I didn't want that to happen, not right now at least. I wanted to lure them in but not at this moment nor place.

Besides, I got nineteen other zones to take care of. And this task would take at least half a day from me.

I didn't take out any weapons I got from the research department. It wasn't needed at the moment. And these were big guns, real killers, and would instantly wipe out tons of the locusts.

I didn't want to do that. I wanted to keep some sort of hard balance where the enemy had a slight advantage over me, an advantage that I could crush at any moment.

[What have you done?!!]

And just before I'd take out my staff and teleport back to the central zone, I got such a message from Lily.

[What?] I feigned ignorance about her point.

[The number of locusts coming decreased tremendously. At this moment, less than twenty percent of them are coming at my forces]

[That's great then]

[I know! And I wanted to know what you did!]

[I don't have time for that] I wasn't lying, [Just make sure that no one steps outside the shielded zone. Kill whoever comes at you, but don't get hot headed about your advantage, ok?]

[I'll tell them about these orders… By the way, when are you going to other zones? Things there are quite ugly]

[If you stopped interrupting me like this, I'd have gone to another zone by now]

[Oh, sorry about that. Good luck!]

[To you too] I closed the chat with her, stored the location here before jumping back to the centre.

I moved towards the first portal I saw, and there I found how truly ugly things were!

The shielded zones were covered with a massive gathering of shields that covered up a huge area of tens of miles in radius.

As I stood on my chariot, high in the air, I could faintly see the edge of these shields under normal situations.

But right now things look quite different. The horizon didn't show that faintly shimmering transparent layer of shields that could refract portion of the light.

Instead I saw a black and red wall that gave me the impression we were inside a huge cave or inside part of hell.

"This…" I didn't need to go there to see what caused such a bizarre scene. These colours matched the colours of these locusts. And that meant they were climbing all the way around my shields, even blocking anything from the outside.

I imagined my grand ball-like shields getting fully covered and buried underneath an endless number of locusts. That was a scary sight indeed, but it was pretty easy to solve.

*Rumble!*

The shields normally absorbed the damage coming at them, turning part into energy that'd get stored inside. If I didn't activate the offensive repulsion energy wave attack, then this energy would be used to repair the shields.

And now I just activated the offensive attack, releasing a mighty wave of energy that swept past all the enemies covering up my shields.

These locusts were weak against energy based attacks. And that meant the energy wave coming out from my shields was quite deadly to them.

When the wave erupted, a massive rumble happened. Most of this came from the attack itself, and then I saw the red black curtain blocking my sight as locusts started to fall like rain.

And then another violent rumbling noise came, with a massive shaking of the ground that lasted for a long time.

The black red curtain got removed, and I could now see the bright world outside. I could see a massive wave of energy coming out from my shields, one that went to the end of the world in an unstoppable way.

"This will take more time to get done," I felt that my attack would last for a long time. And after that most of the locusts near the shields would be wiped out.

That meant the locusts from far away would need quite some time to arrive here and attack the shields.

"I should get to other places then," as I had to do nothing but wait, I decided to jump over to other zones and do the same thing.

In every zone I went, the situation looked the same as the one I saw in the second zone. And by using the scary attack from the shields, the same result was repeated.
