I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I'd not spill much blood of my forces on my side to gain these two extras. And when thinking about how small my current forces were, I couldn't help but admire my good luck.

The two lords kept throwing everything they got at each other for two more hours. At some point I was tempted to move out and claim these two lives when they got slightly drifted away from their forces while fighting each other, getting slowly closer to my place.

However I didn't. Their forces still had large numbers, and any attempt to attack would be alarming to both.

"Lord… Can we attack now?"

After the passage of these two hours, one side was already on the verge of dying out, and the other one wasn't faring any better.

"Let one side die out first before moving," if I got a much larger force, then I'd move out even earlier than now.

But my force was lacking in terms of numbers. Even if they were all elites, there still existed a wide gap in terms of army size.

So waiting for extra minutes, or even an hour wouldn't be that bad. The more the last standing lord lost, the better.

"Kill them!"

"Don't leave anyone alive!"

"What the heck…"

And just after ten minutes, and when one of the two lords fell, loud shouts suddenly came from far north.

I raised my head and all I could see was a large army heading fast towards here.

Damn! It seemed I wasn't the only one laying in wait and watching!

I saw a large army of over five hundred thousands coming fast towards here, while the last remaining lord had less than seventy thousand at most.

"Lord… This is bad," Lucas turned around and now there was another army coming from our south. It was heading towards our direction.

"Dammit!" another lord appeared with his forces, and this one was drawing close to our location. I clenched my glaive, as I got only one option left; go out there and fight.

If I didn't, then we'd be discovered at the end, and killed like sitting ducks.

"Get ready," I said to Lucas, "we'll have to fight our way out…"

Just as I was fixing my gaze upon the west, I saw another grand army coming from that direction.

Damn! What was wrong with this world? Was everyone sitting in wait around this place, waiting for a chance to reap rewards?

This world… It was much worse and a lot harder than what I thought.

I counted six lords with their armies coming at this place with everything they got! All of sudden this small hunt of mine turned into such a bloody mess.

"Lord… We can't remain here any longer," from the side, Lucas was itchy to fight.

But he got something right to say, staying here was equal to getting killed.

"Come back!" without any hesitation, I called all of my warriors back into my inventory. This place was going to a grand battlefield where armies of hundreds of thousands wouldn't stand a chance at all.

It was better to leave here for now, wait for a few hours before coming again.

I'd never let my trophy go to another one. This wasn't just a fight over three lords' territory, it was now a fight to gain nine!

Nine territories were just presenting themselves over to me, and the number might increase. If this was a normal thing in this world, then soon enough more lords would come here as well.

The longer any fight here would grow, the more lords appeared. And that made me decide to take this chance and go back to secure the territory I claimed.

*Fwoosh!*

Before anyone's notice anything, I hurriedly used my staff and passed through a portal back to the place where all of this started.

When I came back, I saw nothing new. I gained two out of four territories already, and with that two of the four armies here belonged to me.

"Those who belong to me move and join my forces," I shouted using my horn after summoning my chariot.

Now I have only two remaining armies left to claim, and one of them was so hard to claim right now. This was the army that belonged to the lord I killed, and their territory was now a grand battlefield with lots of lords fighting there.

But there was one more territory here to claim, not to mention that lord I admired his wits.

"Listen up, your territory is now under attack from many lords," I held my horn and spoke to all of the forces here, "I can just gain the territory here, and leave back to my land. However, you alone won't be able to fight that large number of lords attacking your lands. It's better for you to surrender yourself to me, pal."

All I got was silence. Of course I was bluffing. His territory wasn't under any kind of attack right now. But from what I saw, lords here were acting like hungry wolves.

The moment they'd see a slim chance to gain territory, a big fight would erupt. Just like what happened at the three territories lying near each other.

As he didn't respond, I decided to push him slightly over the edge. I went towards the land here, and executed the merge technique.

In a few minutes, all the buildings vanished and only forces remained.

And like this, I gained one more army to my side.

"Join my forces," I said while taking that mysterious cube into my body, "we are going to retreat."

Not enough time passed for me to go and claim the rewards from that huge battlefield.

In my rough estimation, at least five or six hours would pass before the dust of that fight would settle down.

And that was in case no new lords joined that big war back there, which wasn't something guaranteed.

So instead of waiting here for this cunning lord to make up his mind, it was better for me to retreat and look for more territories to conquer during this time.
