I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

We ended up losing close to one tenth of my kingdom's region. Most of this was credited for losing the Hector continent and major parts in the newly acquired three ones at south.

If not for these, then the losses in the mainland of my kingdom weren't that bad. In addition to that, the number of confirmed finished dens wasn't that high.

In total, and putting aside the hot zones that I temporarily controlled, the entire situation wasn't that bad. It even looked better than my earlier estimate about our initial performance in this quest.

And now it was time to head towards crushing the threatening zones in my mainland before heading towards the south.

One of these spots was lying in the north. It was the place where that grand gulf appeared. There I fought hard against my enemies and slain tons of them. But a big part lied under what now became part of the ocean. And I couldn't tell if zombies would be able to appear under water or not.

It was time for me to know, and that answer was important to let me assess the real danger of the den already formed in the south.

[Don't try to sneak north or else bad things will happen to you]

Just before I could take my staff to use it, I got such a weird message coming from no one other than one of the jerks around me; Wryly.

Seeing this made me frown.

[What do you mean?] I was puzzled by his weird and sudden message, [And how do you know I planned to go there?]

[It's a long story. Cutting it short, there are too many eyes already sticking around you, led by a big behemoth]

[From this world? I can't believe this sh*t!]

[No, it's from outside]

When I read his message I instantly got an idea.

[The Hescos are here?] This was the only threat I could think of, one that could make the all powerful Berserkers work for them.

Without the need for me to ask, I got to know what went wrong back at the huge portal thing. It seemed that the Berserkers already sold it to the Hescos and that giant arm belonged to one of the latter powerhouses.

It was all connected. And when I thought I'd take them by surprise here and make the best use of the messy situation of the fifth quest, they were one step ahead of me.

Very interesting indeed… Just thinking about it drove adrenaline all over my body.

[You seem to know the demise you brought over your head, over all of ours actually]

I got that he was acting a bit weird. It seemed like these weren't his words, but words of someone sitting near him.

So they already went all the way up to the north. Wait a minute… Was he trying to deliver me a message through his words?

He warned me to not go up north, but he wanted me to actually step there. When I thought about it, I realised this made sense.

All this time, not a single scent of Hescos was caught by any of my men. That meant they either hid themselves quite well, which was something I never took for real, or they came here to areas far away from me.

When I thought about it in more depth, I found the second theory was more pleasurable and logical. They were just like me, coming here would put them in a dangerous situation already.

They had to fight the zombies, facing the same terror and pressure like the rest of us. Not to mention they didn't have much dominance here. Yet from what Wryly sent, it seemed they appeared near the northern continents, and managed to strike a deal with these Berserkers.

Dammit! Just what went wrong in this generation of Berserkers? Why did they have such a soft backbone?

[So you are now advising me to lower my head? Naive boy… Betraying me has a cost to pay, don't ever forget that]

[You won't be able to touch me, I'm lying secured high up in the north, tens of thousands of miles away from me]

Good lad! He caught what I was referring to and delivered his location and the location of these Hescos directly to me.

[Stay put there and warm your neck for me please, I won't let you live as long as I kept breathing]

[Humph! We'll see about that!]

I waited for him to send more, but he didn't. It seemed whoever was watching over him sniffed that something was wrong.

I finally closed the chat and started to deeply ponder about this. So the Hescos already were here, and they came to the north. Thinking about this made me doubt their presence up there was the sole presence of them.

They must have scattered their forces. After all they got close to fifteen worlds partaking in this apocalypse right now. So they could come here in much bigger forces than just one world force.

Aside from my kingdom eastern and southern borders which were closely watched, they could come from further south where Mexico once lay.

Also they could come from the west where that crazy lord was.

In brief, my kingdom was already facing a tight encirclement from three directions. With the loss of Hector continent, it seemed we were already trapped.

Pretty nice move! I closed my eyes, took a deep breath while recalling what Wryly also mentioned.

The first thing he ever said was that I was being watched by my enemies. Hescos couldn't have such strong power yet as they were playing by the rules of the system just like all of us.

So there was only one possibility… They got help. And I already guessed who helped him.

"That was why they came out in such large numbers when the fifth quest was about to start…" I thought to myself while recalling the tens of thousands of angels who appeared when the fifth quest was about to start.

Interesting… This was all interesting. Just thinking about how my enemies played such a good hand made my blood boil.

I wasn't enraged or terrified, instead I was motivated. The harder they'd try, the better I'd feel when I'd crush all of their efforts and render them useless.

I took out my staff and activated the bookmark of the north. I had first to quench the fire spreading all over my kingdom first before spreading my actions outside.

It would be bad if I got entangled in a messy fight when my lands were deeply threatened by these zombies.

And with the angels running at my heels I had to make them lower their guard. If I acted now, it would be bad for Wryly.

He tried to warn me even when he was closely watched. At some point, he might have little freedom and would send me more news.

Having a spy inside the deep enemy lines wasn't something bad after all.

[Make the weapons created by the research department be ready to get deployed in one day] I sent this message over to Lily while I was passing through the portal.

[Are we going to use these now?]

[Just make them ready] I didn't reveal the news of the arrival of the Hescos to her, to anyone.

Having them worried wasn't a smart move. Besides, they all got their hands busy just like mine. Not to mention none but me was able to pull such a risky mission.

Passing through the portal made me end just in the spot where the last stand between my forces and the hostile aquatic forces of the Hectors happened.

This place already was drenched so deep with blood that I didn't feel any surprise to see such endless numbers of zombies here.

The entire ground was filled with zombies till the end of my eyesight. The defensive structures Isac spent much to develop here were all useless.

Without strong defending forces, these structures were as useless as mere rocks and sand in the desert.

"Come out! Make sure to kill all of them fast," I started deploying my warriors all over the places I flew over.

Till now I never used any of my true and formidable warriors. The soulers were left to handle the capital, and I didn't even deploy the most elite and experienced ones of them.

I had to hold over such force. There was a huge war waiting for me in the north after I'd gotten over all this.

*Roar!*

Just when I was busy deploying tens of millions of warriors all over the place, I was met with a frightening roar coming from one direction.

Then another came, and another. From the intensity of these roars, I knew they weren't that far, and the owners of these were pretty damn strong.

"Another grand zombie? How come…" I stood on top of my chariot looking in a certain direction.

It was the direction where these roars came from. However when I realised where that direction led to, I frowned.
