Acting as they want

The big problem Shane knew about was that he was likely to take a predictable route.

Even if it might be possible to conquer the next few shelters, the races that were likely to be conquered afterward could prepare themselves!

Due to the very same reason, he would have to do exactly what they hoped!

In the beginning, other races wouldn't care about him because they were not affected.

Only after he conquered the 4th or 5th shelter the other races would notice that something was off when the news of his feat would slowly spread. 

Only then would they begin to squirm in fear and hastily rush to prepare themselves!

However, that was something Shane had already included in his plan!

There was no need for him to play around in the next few weeks, and he could simply advance ahead, behaving as everyone would expect.

Because of that, a total of three weeks had passed with each week adding up to one more shelter having been conquered.
