I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



As I knew where she was taking her men, I started to locate all the places with bombs all over this continent in the next two days.

[Please tell me the research department made new digging gears!]

[You! Long time no see, Mr. busy man! Didn't you promise to update me once every two hours about the map? Huh?!]

Lily was indeed fiery and mad! And she got the right to feel so. [Come on! Didn't I send the new shots for you once per day?]

[Once? You are lucky you aren't here right now or else…]

[Or what? Do you want a kiss or a soft spank perhaps?]

[You…]

I laughed, not taking any of her storm for real. Of course the frontlines were doing bad thanks to the huge pressure they were facing from all fronts. But come on! Didn't I spend all this time nourishing and gathering these armies just for this moment?

If they didn't prove their worth, suffered and struggled to keep my territories and lands safe, then they got no value at all!

Not to mention, putting aside the fierce fights going all over this new world between my forces and lots of enemies and races, my forces were still winning at most of these clashes!

Lily might be worried about the high loss rate my forces were suffering. Or perhaps she was worried about the slow rate of progress these forces were adopting. But in either case, it was still a victory and continuous advancement for my troops.

[Keep doing a good job! At least we are winning]

[On what cost? Huh? And how come we make the best use of this victory if they secured it by losing too much and taking too long?]

She was indeed complaining about the same two things I got in my mind.

[Girl, don't forget your real purpose here]

[Which is? Throwing the lives of my forces away like this?]

[No, it's to stall for time, keep the enemy busy without letting them advance and take away most of my lands!]

[This…]

[As for the main offence, the real killer, it will be me, it's always me. So just chill out, do your job as you are brilliantly doing, and find me what these damn researchers did all this time! I want the f*cking drilling machines, and I want tons of them right now!]

I closed the chat without even reading his answer. I just told her what her and all the armies scattered here's role was.

They weren't the ones who were going to win this war, it was me. All they needed to do was to keep the enemy's main forces occupied.

[They are ready to send more than what they delivered before] after an hour or so, she sent this message over, [Where do you want them to go?]

[Let them be at the ground zero main portal place, I'm coming over]

[Great! I'll prepare my knuckles for your face then!]

I snorted, closed the chat and instantly jumped back to ground zero. As I appeared, it was the first time for Lily and other generals by her side to see my new chariot.

"Damn! You brought a cloud this time?!!" I heard her shout even before I saw her. And what she got in return was a wild and playful laugh of mine.

"Like this, baby, we can have all the fun in the world without anyone seeing anything."

"Screw you! Come out now! I dare you to come out!" she was still feeling mad. But I didn't care. I shifted my eyes over the ones from the research department. And this time, they sent new faces, and around ten thousand of them.

These were all engineers. And I couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you supposed to store the machines inside your inventories? Or did you make such a crazy amount of them?"

I flew over their heads, ignoring the roars and fierce promises of Lily.

"Lord, we came to dismantle the already used machines," one of those down below spoke up. And I got their value of being here in such grand numbers.

"So you can recycle the machines into orbs again?"

"No lord, we just can dismantle and reassemble them every time."

The answer I got wasn't satisfactory, but at least the research department thought about a solution for this problem.

It was a temporary one, but still was a solution. "Follow me then," I opened a portal back towards the continent that I wanted to clear the bombs at, "See, this is a fresh continent. I'll open portals now leading towards places with bombs to dig. Also I'll open a portal back towards the continent with the digging machines."

I used my horn to make sure everyone heard me, before opening a portal first towards the previous continent with digging machines. Then I let these mechanics do their work, and started to jump all over the continent, linking places there with here.

"Go, dig the ground and get me all the bombs out!" I shouted at them, before recalling the continent that I left my workers there to dig bombs out. "Enough time has passed, so it's most probable for me to find lots of bombs lying in wait."

I knew taking down these bombs and deactivating them wouldn't take much time per bomb. However if I was going to do it for tons of bombs, then I'd better start doing this right away.

Not to mention this continent lacked enough people with experience in using these grand machines. Even with around a thousand engineers standing behind, it was still hard to teach my warriors from scratch.

I decided to use the initial warriors taught the craft before and bring them with me to every continent.

And if I started working over many at the same time, then they'd lead others, teaching and supervising them in operating these colossal digging machines.

As I expected, when I returned back to the same continent I sent the engineers at, I found already lots of warriors standing in wait inside the main bubble.
