I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1216 Grand Cannon

Luckily many of these warriors were flying races. That meant they could help in restraining the berserk flying Hescos or add more pressure over the ground Hescos.

Once the number of the warriors hit the ten million mark, I finally gave them the order to move out. "Take down the first layer," this was the order they gained.

I got ten million warriors but decided against spreading them out. If I did so, then the impact of their arrival wouldn't be as much.

I grew tired of watching my forces die for nothing. Even if we got the upper hand at six layers, it wasn't enough to consider this as my win.

So instead of spreading them around, I decided to throw all of them at one layer. Taking control of this layer would be the start, and the forces fighting there would have the time to move to the next layer to control it.

If it went right, then things would start snowballing out from here onward. Even so, I didn't stop taking out more warriors or feeding them crystals.

The shields up there were getting mercilessly hammered by whatever these Hescos were using. Even after long hours of fighting, such scary attacks never ceased to come nor got weakened in strength.

It was weird. But I knew I wouldn't get the chance to really see what was coming unless I'd allow the shields to get broken.

First I had to take these layers down, then I'd start climbing up there slowly, forming new layers of shields, and might get a glimpse of what was threatening my shields up there.

Just as I was preparing for the second batch of warriors, I saw the first batch I sent stuck in a very weird situation.

The Hescos that were controlling the first layer didn't amount to more than a few millions. They were facing almost a million of my forces at most, and that seemed to be the reason behind their earlier stagnation.

But when ten million troops appeared, a weird scene occurred in front of my eyes. Almost ten more millions of Hescos appeared as well from the depths of the underground forts.

It looked weird. The Hescos should be already exhausting their strength fighting me all this time. So how did they find more forces to send out?

If they already have such a method, why didn't they use it before this? What exactly happened to let them obtain such a large number of forces at this layer?

While I was looking, I kept checking other battlefields. And after half an hour I got my answer.

The other layers stopped gushing more troops at this period. It seemed like my earlier guess about the Hescos was true. All these underground forts were connected somehow to a unified ground, a place where many forces were stationed.

If that was the reason, then it'd explain how the Hescos managed to gush out such a large number of forces to meet mine.

"If so, then taking one layer would have a domino-like effect on other layers," I evilly smirked, considering the entire scene after sending more batches to help.

The fight for this place turned weirdly into the fight over the first layer, or that was what I thought back then. As I got such an idea and inspiration, I resumed taking out warriors in greater spirit and let them strengthen themselves using stat crystals.

If one batch couldn't take it down, then five would do. If five wouldn't be enough, then a hundred would do. No matter what, this fight seemed to go towards my win.

The second batch was done and the third. As I sent the two to join the ongoing brutal battle at the first layer, the Hescos matched mine with more forces on their side.

Sending just equal numbers didn't work. After all, many of the warriors I sent were flying units. That made the fight more disadvantageous to them, and they ended up quite bad after the first batch was sent.

After sending the third batch, I had to stop. The banging coming from the upper shields became much fiercer than ever, meaning the enemy was just getting closer from smashing all the shields.

So I had to stop taking out warriors and focused again over strengthening my shields.

During the hours it took from me to return the shields to their best shape, I noticed the fight on the first layer wasn't going anywhere.

The Hescos kept sending out forces like they got no end to this. Seeing such a scene made me wonder if they brought out all the Hescos in this entire world here to fight against me.

Seeing that the battle for the first layer wasn't going as smoothly as I expected, I knew the next time I'd summon warriors I had to do it in a grander way.

Sending ten millions out seemed to be a good thing, but it didn't work eventually. So instead, it was better to gather up more, forming a grand batch of thirty million warriors or something before sending them out to fight.

This way the impact of my forces would be much better, and they might claim the first layer at the end.

So I went down again to summon warriors and let them strengthen themselves using stat crystals. However in the middle of doing this, a new change happened.

Something weird came out from one of the layers up there. At first I didn't notice it. But soon I was able to see what it was.

From what I counted as layer thirty, I saw a grand cannon protruding itself out from the depths of one of the underground forts out there.

It looked weird, just like a futuristic version of human cannons. The cannon was a few hundred metres long. The body of that grand canyon didn't appear yet, but I was sure it was so grand.

If the barrel alone had such a grand appearance, then how about its body?
