As promised, Billy went around talking with the people he knew to calm down the population regarding the last incident. He also had to explain why he had a Frost wyvern… Not like he told them the truth, he just said that he found one and tamed it. In any case, that took the whole day, and when they returned back to the village, he found his wives angry at him for being late… However, the real issue was Totaic, Luso, and his siblings.
"We went to help, but we were completely useless," Samuel said and then sighed. "Even their minions caused trouble to us."
"Well, when I was your age… Now I feel really old saying this," Billy said and then frowned. "Well, that is beyond the point. Those guys were the elite soldiers of their world. Besides, you know that they had some weird abilities."
"True, they could heal just by damaging us a little…" Samara said. "Well, I never had much confidence in my skills since Billy always looked so hard to reach, but seeing him fight for real shocked me. Imagine what you could do with armor like that."
"The armor only gives me some extra mobility and defense, and it doesn't increase my attack power," Billy said. "Nevertheless, as I always say, just try to get stronger than yourself from the previous day, and then you will go far."
Words alone weren't enough this time to lift the spirits of his siblings, but they were already adults, so they had to get over it by themselves. Also, Billy had to talk with Totaic and Luso, and they still were completely silent since the end of the fight. Still, much to his surprise, everyone else in the village looked quiet as well.
"Why is everyone so gloomy?" Billy asked.
"They saw you guys heading to that world. We all saw using that telescope thing," Drew replied. "It seemed like a weird dream until the floating islands approached, and everyone thought that they were going to die. Now they know what the enemy can do, and they think that this will be a normal occurrence."
"Will it be?" Camilla asked.
"I am not sure," Billy replied. "I am pretty sure that Uvish is scared of the group of the people of this world, and that is why he tried to decrease the population like that. Until he finds a surefire way to defeat us, he will keep trying to decrease our strength little by little."
"Still, the people of his world can contemplate their annihilation so many times… We need to think of countermeasures for that kind of attack," Edward said.
"I am planning to make copies of those and spread them around the world," Billy said while pointing at the telescope. "That way, we will be able to keep an eye on the approaching enemies all the time. As for how we can deal with that kind of attack… I am still trying to think about it. Regardless, we won this fight, so we can rest for a while… But I guess resuming the training would be wiser."
The others nodded, but the tribesmen still looked shocked. They had to keep their minds busy… Still, Billy could understand their stance. Back on earth, if he had seen several cities, including his own hometown, being destroyed by floating islands controlled by aliens, he also would question the point of many things, like working or studying. What would be the point if the same thing could happen again and you could do nothing about it?
Regardless, even silently, Totaic and Luso returned to their training, and that motivated many others to follow them. Although those who participated in the mission were a bit tired, they also went to help. Meanwhile, Billy watched his kids copy the adults while he worked on the core of the new armor.
"I wonder if I should make a Megazord next… Zenis sure caused me a lot of trouble with his extra large armor," Billy thought.
Still, that would be against Billy's usual modus operandi. Making things to use at the last moment to save his life was something, but he was pretty sure that he could take on most of the enemies that Uvish might throw at him now. He wondered if he was getting arrogant…
In any case, while he was working on his new armor, Billy also made some copies of the telescopes, and he made Icarus come and spread them around the demi-humans continent. He liked quite a bit of the idea of keeping an eye for the next attacks like that, but while it was novel to look at the stars, Billy would get bored after a while.
"Why don't you copy the magic cannons that Zenis had in order for us to use as a defense system?" Icarus asked.
"I was thinking about that, but creating such weapons of mass destruction is… I don't mind leaving knowledge behind, but I don't want to leave a legacy that might help people in the future to replicate that kind of weapon," Billy replied.
Everyone knew how cautious Billy was when creating weapons of mass destruction. It wasn't like he could halt the technological development of that world by himself. Still, he certainly didn't want to hasten it. Regardless, he might not have much choice in the future if the enemies keep attacking like that when they see themselves against the wall.
The training of the tribesmen went well, and one week after that, the group decided that they could move on. All the tribes had at least a few people who could give others knowledge, after all. So, they could assume that role of teaching.
"I am grateful for the knowledge and the chances that you gave to us," Totaic said and then offered Billy a handshake. "You also opened our eyes that our world is too small. We will do our best to help you all when the time comes to protect this world."
