I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1186 Digging A Hole That Doesn't Match

"Let's go," I motioned to Isac to lead the team who brought this orb from the Hescos world to carry the activated orb again and pass through the portal I opened.

When we arrived at the other side, everyone's face changed.

"Lord… This…"

"It's the western border warzone," I noticed that all the generals followed me here. It seemed they were all curious about these orbs and how they'd do their magic.

I selected this spot after careful consideration of the entire war zone in my kingdom. After thinking about the future, I knew this zone would be one of the hottest and most dangerous zones in my kingdom during the upcoming few weeks.

So if this orb thing would work, it would be great to add more manpower to defences here. If not, then adding more zombies here wouldn't matter that much.

After all, I never planned to add any monster blood to this orb, fearing it would go berserk and turn hostile against me.

"Dig a hole out there," I randomly selected a zone at the innermost intense battle in the region, "go and help."

I took out a large number of warriors. I took out enough stat crystals for them to consume before giving them the order to help my generals.

I wouldn't send my generals out there for their demise. Before they left, I made sure the warriors would follow the orders of the generals, and everyone would listen to Loran.

I stood high in the air watching everything unfolding in front of me. As for the orb, it was kept safe on the back of my chariot.

As the warriors sprinted forward, they met the large number of zombies with ease. The zombies might have the numerical advantage, but it wasn't enough to stop my elite warriors.

My warriors moved like a knife in butter, without any hindrance at all. They kept expanding the gap they created as if they were swimming in the middle of raging ocean waves.

The zombies seemed to feel attracted to the new foes coming at them. I saw most of the zombies in the entire region shift their attention towards my warriors and come towards them.

At some moment, it seemed there was nothing to stop my warriors but they started to slowly advance forward. At this moment, the timely help of the spearhead special ability came and saved the day.

The zombies got more downgraded, and the warriors kept following the genius instructions of various generals, ending up in fighting in different formations that took zombies by force and tactics.

Zombies might look like locusts, but they were mindless locusts. They couldn't counter the intelligent tactics of my generals.

They lost in every way but numbers. Their strength was really mediocre. Even with the tsunami like waves coming at my forces, they got nothing accomplished especially after the effect of spearhead ability.

In less than half an hour, the group of warriors led by generals arrived at the spot I selected. This wasn't inside any fortifications of my kingdom. Honestly speaking, it was deep in the enemy territory.

It was around two miles away from the closest walls and defences, a good spot for a trap to be formed. Even if things went wrong and the zombies coming out from the orb didn't listen to my orders, nothing bad would happen to my forces defending here.

At most, the number of zombies would increase by a slight margin. I watched the forces expand the area they controlled, giving space to others to start digging.

I used my Hawk Eye skill and saw Loran taking charge of this operation. I watched in interest how this hole was shaped.

As expected, it wasn't a normal shaped hole at all. The one that got dug out there was like a star of seven heads. And the level of digging showed that Loran wanted a sloppy edge that led to the centre of this hole.

The hole was one hundred metres in length from one head to another. As for its depth, I could follow it until they started digging the central part.

This central hole was ten metres in radius, taking the form of a perfect circle. They kept digging for one hour, taking out tons of rocks and dirt from it.

I could tell this hole went down for hundreds of metres, if not a thousand. After one hour, I saw Loran coming towards me using his chariot.

Zombies were still ground friendly creatures. They haven't learned how to fly yet. And they didn't have any flying zombies, so flying was safe. It was the safest means of transport so far.

"We are ready, lord," when he approached me, he bowed as he added, "lord has to just toss it in the central hole and it will work on its own."

"No need to cover it up?" I recalled he spoke about this before.

"No," he shook his head in a firm way, "this burying method will only work if we use the blood of other monsters. But I believe the lord isn't willing to do something like this now."

"Good point," I didn't hide my intentions of keeping this hole clean from any monster blood. I was still thinking of the worst case scenario that might happen.

I went towards the hole and when I arrived, I noticed it was like a black hole. "How deep is this hole exactly?" I asked in curiosity while comparing the hole and orb together.

"One mile deep."

"It's too deep," I spoke in neutral tone as my mind drifted to something else, "but can't you tell the size of this hole is different from this orb? They don't match."

"The orb is a magical item," Loran paused slightly before adding, "the orb will change its size to match the hole."

"Then why didn't you dig a wider hole?" I couldn't see the goal of doing this.

"The orb has to be compressed to a small size to work," Loran finally explained, "if not, things won't work."
