Chapter 1207 Scouting

"Lord Liam, if it pleases you I could wait here with Lady Alex until she recovers and guard her." Elira offered her services seeing that Liam was still standing at the same spot, even extending her arms to carry the lady in his stead but Liam firmly shook his head.
He wanted to hold her himself. He continued waiting for a few minutes, half an hour to be precise, and then took out another pristine pearl-like pill, pushing it into Alex's lips and feeding her.
Eldrin's eyes widened again as this pill too seemed abnormal.
He looked at Liam, at the weak ordinary girl in his arms whom he wouldn't glance twice, the trash heap he called his world, and the weird world tree plant near them. What the hell was happening? He scratched his head in confusion and continued watching silently.
A few minutes later, the effect of the second pill also became evident.
While the first pill seemed to rejuvenate Alex's body and soul, healing her from the inside out, repairing everything that was torn or broken, the second one was chock-full of vitality and lifeforce and ignited her with energy.
This coupled with Lunaria's healing abilities was like a powerful catalyst, rapidly accelerating Alex's recovery. Her skin, once pale and lifeless, now glowed with health, and the vigor returned to her eyes.
However, she continued sleeping for another hour and it looked like she would need more time to completely rest.
Liam patiently waited for her. At the same time, he started summoning his armies one after the other. Though he was in a hurry to meet his family and everyone else, he still needed to take some cautionary steps and not blindly rush.
Now that Crawford was dead, there was no real immediate danger to his family. He had also calmed down a lot after seeing Alex and was now thinking clearly.
The most important thing right now was to find out the whereabouts of his sister but he had to do this without letting anyone know about his return. This was a necessity for their survival.
Chances were slim that Crawford was the only person working for the divine temple high priestess. She could potentially have other spies implanted in their midst, perhaps willingly or even unwillingly.
And he did not want her to know that he was still alive under any circumstances.
This was one of the few advantages he had at the moment. Instead of constantly being hunted, he finally had a chance to set up a territory that could safeguard his family and guild.
If the news leaked to the divine temple high-priestess that he had returned and become stronger, he would not even have to guess what would happen.
The woman would once again use everything in her means to unleash one calamity after another in their world until she was fully satisfied. He had a feeling that she wouldn't miss this time.
Though the world was closed up for now because of the integration, that did not ease his concerns one bit. Luna was easily able to teleport in and maybe there were other methods of entering a closed-up world that he was not aware of.
Liam did not want to take anything lightly. Now he understood something important. The tutorial game and the apocalypse were truly only the beginning of the end.
Their world was now part of a much larger and more complex cosmos, filled with powers and beings beyond their previous understanding. The stakes were higher, and the dangers more profound.
Liam realized that his actions needed to be strategic and well-thought-out. Even his smallest action could have great repercussions.
He was back on Earth now and he did not want to squander this precious opportunity he had. Though he was emotional about his family, this was something he needed to force himself to do and remain calm.
For instance, the elves he had just pilfered from could find a loophole and decide to pay him and his planet a visit to even out the score. The enemies were countless and the dangers were never-ending.
Liam took a look at the special world tree that their world was nurturing. He was sure that this was also going to bring in its share of troubles.
But no matter how many different doors and windows enemies come knocking from, the only answer to all of them is to get stronger. And he needed to lay low while he did this.
Liam closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and eyed the three armies standing in front of him.
The first was his thirty odd soul blood beasts who had survived the fight with the combined elven armies.
Second was his soul minion army which was pretty weak considering that they were all very low-leveled. There were, in fact, some strong minions here, namely the ice elves who were the latest recruitment.
But he had to sacrifice a lot of these minions and in the end, only five hundred minions remained.
The three-headed wyvern was still alive and kicking and reared its head proudly, taking everything in. Liam did have to give up one of the other wyverns thanks to the teleportation skill, Soul Swap.
The last army was the fleshy undead army that Liam raised using his necromancer abilities.
This army shockingly took the first place at the moment as he had recently amassed several high-level corpses from the chaos in the forbidden territory. He had also collected souls from these corpses which he was yet to refine.
The total number of the undead army actually touched a hundred thousand, within which almost 90% of the soldiers were above level 500 which was very impressive.
Liam did not want to take them out here in the first place but seeing that Eldrin was just fine, he assumed that his summons would also be fine.
He then stalled for a couple of minutes to take stock of his entire strength before starting to give orders to the three armies.
The orders were pretty simple and straightforward.
Liam asked the experienced ice elf generals to arrange all three of his armies into several different efficient and powerful squads and send them all out into the nether half of the world.
He unleashed all three of his army without holding back. He wanted to know what was there in this new world that had changed and evolved so much in just a year.
And if he was going to start anywhere, it was going to be the nether half of the world.
Liam took some time and made all the arrangements carefully, making sure that there were no oversights.
He did not know exactly how big this current world was. His minions should cover a significant portion of the world without his presence as his control over them had now increased tremendously.
As he watched his minions scurry off, he started preparing for his next course of action, the world of the living. This was going to be more tedious as the undead would starkly stand out here.
But Liam did not plan on doing anything about this for now. While the undead kept themselves busy, he simply planned to wait for Alex to recover.
Knowing the efficacy of the pills he had concocted personally, at most she would rest for a day or two and he did not mind waiting for her while she took her time.
The group settled in the area with Liam still carrying Alex in his own arms.
Eldrin was quite surprised to see the heartless fiend, who had murdered countless beings and commanded undead souls full of resentment, act in such a manner and roll his eyes at the scene every now and then.
Was he really going to stand like this in the same spot for hours together?
As if answering the elf's question, Liam's eyes suddenly lit up. Shockingly, an odd notification flashed in his system interface.
