I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Thinking on a grander view, my forces got the upper hand in the end. After all, we got similar suits to them, and also deadly weapons as well.

They lacked such big guns, and so their chances of winning got diminished by a lot.

"Should we send warriors?" Lily asked in obvious worry and clear fear.

"No, these forces are enough as a warm up," I kept looking while the two sides were getting closer with each passing minute.

The distance of tens of miles couldn't be rapidly crossed. It would take almost an hour for the two sides to come in contact. And through this I kept sending more forces there, with big guns and more forces with suits.

But my orders were clear. The big guns had to be kept hidden until the Hecsos joined the fray. The same would apply to the suit forces as well.

These were the big surprises I arranged for the Hescos. They were so generous in preparing such a warm welcome party for me, and I had to match their gift in return.

My forces didn't start running for long before they stood their ground. They were smart enough to know they were fighting against an unfavourable situation.

Simply running forward like this was going to end up quite bad. The grand general leading this expedition was one of the Hectors. He must be pissing in his pants at the moment, but he was doing a good job so far.

As the forces stopped after crossing five mile distance, they started to fan out and form a dense circle of defence. The enemy was coming from all directions, and it was wise to not expand the lands my forces ruled or else the defensive lines would have gaps within.

Inside the outer circle formed by my forces, more circles began to take shape. There was enough distance between each circular line of defence, obviously some sort of defensive tactic.

In terms of military experience, I could honestly say that Hectares were geniuses. They weren't just excellent at training forces, but leading armies as well.

Seeing the entire forces forming these lines made me wonder about what that grand general's aim was. After one hour, the first lines of hostile races came at last, and the frontlines started to fight a bloody one from the start.

In just a few minutes, I could tell that my forces were much fiercer than their opponents. All the hellish training of my forces brought fruit at last, and I could see the races coming, unable to break the few lines at the outermost region.

This was a relief. If these races proved to be well trained, then this fight would take an ugly turn. But now the Hescos were left without any option but to join the battle themselves.

As the killing continued, I started to take out my warriors, letting them gather around this portal.

I wouldn't need them soon, but when time would come, they should be prepared to join the fray. I took out tons of stat points and let them feed upon them. At the same time, I sent an urgent request for more resources and a few special items from Silverlining.

[So that means you already began? Why didn't you tell me?]

Instead of hassling about what I asked for, this dude just complained about me not sharing the news with him.

[What? As if you will watch what is going on here!]

[Sure! Not only me, but all the sovereigns I know of are eager to watch]

[But I got no direct feed from these worlds]

[Do you think such things can stop us? Hahaha! We have invested a ton in you, and so we already arranged things beforehand to watch your performance]

[Alright then, spread the word and start watching] I rolled my eyes. For a moment there, I felt like I was a performer for their entertainment. I felt a little annoyed, but didn't dwindle much about this.

As he said, they invested too much in me. And it was normal for them to just see the fruit of their investment.

I returned to watch and saw my forces killing their enemies without any suspense.

"What? Don't tell me they plan to just stick at the back and do nothing," after two hours, the hostile races failed to crush more than dozens of lines. And the Hescos kept their silence, watching from a distance as if they weren't bothered by such losses.

But when I wondered about that, a new change appeared out there.

The ground shook, seemingly like some sort of a violent earthquake striking this region. Then the land gushed open from beneath, like volcanoes were about to erupt.

The places that such a thing happened were just in the midzone of the entire defensive line up of my forces there. And without the need to wait to see who was coming, I knew they were the ground legions of these Hescos.

They finally started to move out!

And as the ground shook, the Hescos standing all in wait all this time out there started to move out. Flying legions of Hescos started to spread out, coming fast like dense clouds of locusts.

At the same time, the ground showed a thick curtain of different colours, as the ground troops of Hescos moved out. They all used the strength of their suits, coming hard and fast at my forces.

Their tactic was indeed great. They aimed directly to take out half of my stationed forces out there. And if they succeeded to link their three types of units, this would grow ugly for sure.

But that depended entirely on that if.

The moment the ground Hescos troops appeared and the distant forces came, the all silent big guns started to shine in bright light.

Then a torrent of attacks flew fast, landed at the distant Hescos without any warning.

I couldn't hear anything, but seeing all these bright flashes that formed huge roses of death clouds made me imagine the rumbling noises of these explosions.
