I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The enemies realised what he did, knew they were heading towards a trap. But they had no other option but to proceed with the attack.

They wanted such a triangular formation to launch deadly attacks first. Arranging the big guns at the forefront aimed to cause significant damage to Hye and Major. 

Hye knew they got such inspiration from the way they managed to slip through his grasp before. They thought this was the weakness of his warriors, the deadly weakness of the entire fleet and fighting tactics he adopted. They never expected for him to have more options and plans.

Hye wanted to arrange his warriors in groups, to board a grand fleet of small ships, to keep the incoming enemies busy. And yet, when he noticed the formation they arranged their fleet on, he knew this wasn't going to work.

Instead of deploying small ships, he decided to take all of the big guns out. If the enemy wanted to burn his fleet using their flagships, then he'd use their flagships to protect and defend his fleet from any damage.

This was stopping the enemy by using the same stick the enemy used to attack. 

The most crucial element in determining the overall result of this clash was timing. Hye wasn't eager, was patient, giving the enemy no time to cope with such sudden changes, or any room to adjust their fleet or anything.

The moment the enemy fleet tried to slow down, Hye decided to add gasoline to the fire. "Fire!" he shouted, and then gates of hell opened on all fronts, sweeping the slowly decelerating enemy ships by fire and fierce attacks.

The enemy had strong ships, and such an attack wouldn't endanger their shields. But it was clear that if they dared to retreat, the smaller ships would eventually suffer. And by time they drew far enough, they'd lose more than eighty percent of their fleet.

In other words, they'd lose this fight. So their leaders didn't hesitate anymore, and asked their ships to respond by firing their big guns as well.

Deadly attacks flashed by, coming from both sides like an endless stream of rain. Hye knew in the end, both sides would get ruined and destroyed. And yet he didn't halt back anything.

If a group of ships focused their fire over a single ship, then its shield would crumble and wouldn't survive this. Yet this time, it seemed as if all the ships were firing at each other.

If any ship dared to shift their attacks away from the ships opposite to it, then Hye would ask the reserve ships at the back to fire at this ship, burn it down.

This happened a lot at first, but then the enemy learnt their lesson. They stopped trying to find an alternative, and accepted this one punch on the face between them and Hye as the only way to fight this battle.

And yet, they never expected that they fell into Hye's scheme by doing this!

"Ready?" After two days of the beginning of such a weird and brutal clash, William suddenly spoke to Major.

"I am!"

"Proceed!"

During the past two days, Hye didn't just focus on dealing with the incoming enemies. The initial clash that the enemy failed at developed fast when many big ships managed to retreat, while sending out lots of smaller ships forwards.

These ships weren't strong enough to sustain the attacks from Hye's big ships. They got destroyed all the time, and yet thanks to their large numbers, they didn't show signs of weakening at all.

Hye knew the enemy was trying to buy himself time, to escape and regroup, to readjust their formation and strategy. And yet he never gave them such a chance. He kept pressing on them, moving forward all the time and chasing the retreating fleet.

It might seem like the two sides were running in a straight line, but that wasn't true. Hye made sure to send many of his ships to adjust the flying trajectory of the enemy's fleet, slowly shifting it over the past two days, until they followed a circular path, ending up returning to the same spot they started from.

But this time, Hye wasn't in between them and Major's fleet. It was as if the two sides switched places during the past two days. And when that happened, Hye gave the order for Major to join this battle.

During the past two days, Hye's warriors took down tons of the enemies' forces, empties hellish lots of enemy ships. The entrapped enemy lost more than half of their initial ships during the past two days, with most losses coming from the big ships.

The small ships proved to be hard to attack, even when entrapped. They had high speed, an unbelievable ability to evade any incoming assault, and they managed to run away most of the time.

Yet the remaining lot of the entrapped enemy's fleet wasn't that threatening. They got numbers, but not enough power to threaten Hye or Major.

The main threat still lay in the newly arrived fleet. Even after all the losses they suffered, they still seized a scary number of ships, with many big guns.

During the past two days, Hye tried his best to take the big ships down. Yet it was hard to do. He destroyed tons of the smaller ships, but the enemy still preserved their main firepower ships intact.

But that wasn't going to last any longer!

The moment Hye gave the order to Major, the latter suddenly broke free from his engagement, led his fleet like a swarm, and assaulted the nearby enemies.

The new fleet was stressed for a long time for their leaders to miss this window. They could have turned everything at Major's fleet and dealt a great blow to it, before breaking through the tight encirclement there, running away with the entrapped fleet.

Yet they were faced with one setback after another, ending up getting their minds focused on a single goal only; to run away from Hye with the most ships intact.
