I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1226 A Third Option

The idea of that plan came when I thought about the counterattack of the Hescos. If they were able to plan this far ahead, why wouldn't I aim for such a goal?

Better than foiling the enemy's plan was to use it for one's advantage. That's what I planned to do.

The idea was simple. I opened my chat and sent a message to Sara.

[Select capable soldiers and a bunch of good leaders for a secret mission] That was the first part in my plan.

[What mission?]

[You don't to need about it for now] I didn't want to speak too much about this, [Just select ones who are quite resourceful, able to perform well under pressure and threatening situations]

[Ok, it's not hard to find these amidst our armies right now] I knew such harsh battles were the birthplace of many heroes and outstanding talents.

[Add them all as your friends] This was the second requirement I asked for, [And make sure to send them down without getting spotted]

[Sure. Give me an hour or so to do that]

I didn't say anything about the one hour she asked for. Even if she asked for ten hours, I wouldn't say no to it.

My plan required many things to be done before starting it. After I finished speaking with her, I flew directly towards the grand gathering of weapons on the ground.

"I want you to give me all these weapons," I gave such a crazy order out of the blue. They might have thought I came down there to ask them to attack some place or start moving up.

But I wanted to take all these weapons inside my inventory.

"Lord… This…" many faces changed when I said these words. But I waved my hand to stop them from saying anything.

The next moment, a large group of warriors appeared. They were my Bulltors. "Train these over the weapons, make sure they grasp how to operate, move, and fix them."

The large group of research department people looked at each other and at the Bulltors I took out in silence. They didn't get what I wanted, and I never intended to explain anything.

"Don't attack much from now on. Just focus on training them and defend these weapons," the battle was growing more hectic by now. So it was better to keep the weapons intact and in one piece.

At the same time, these weapons might be scary and formidable, but they had a grave weakness; the ammo.

If they ran out of ammunition, then all of these scary weapons would turn into useless scrap of metal.

I didn't want to see such a result at all. If I had to choose, then stopping the minimal impact these weapons had over the grand battle going on now was better than ending up without ammo in the middle of executing my plan.

After doing this, and after creating more Bulltors to keep up with these weapons, I moved towards the first layer.

Before fully immersed into this plan, I had to first examine that layer's defences and forts.

I moved towards the first layer after scattering most of my fallen gods around the central bottom of this pit.

I gave them one simple order, keep firing all the higher up Hescos and kill as many as they could.

As I went towards the first layer, I found the layer was in the form of a grand circle. If I didn't know this was a layered fort, I'd take this place as being in the depths of a grand mountain.

The edge of this circle was formed by sturdy looking stone ore. They formed a good background for such grand defence.

The entire circle was massive, extending for tens of miles around. I noticed the openings of these underground forts lied at regular intervals, and they all shared the same layout.

"So they built these forts and the tunnel system inside over a single design…" This was a piece of good news. I didn't want to keep checking all the layers cleared out by my forces. Checking this one was enough to give me a grander view over what was like at other layers.

I randomly selected one fort and decided to check it out.

The opening was almost half a mile in length, barricaded by semi-circular walls that extended for ten metres in length.

From far, they looked like small towers, covering up an area of one hundred metre radius.

That was a good space to place lots of defences over them and forces. I went to one tower and examined it. The tower was hollow from the inside, enough to be filled with many weapons.

There was a central spiral stone built ladder inside that went all the way to the top of the tower. I climbed it and after climbing for three metres, I found a stage and preparations for weapons and forces to be stationed there.

When I kept going up, I saw two more stages before reaching the top. This meant each fort would have three inner levels, allowing for more forces to be stationed inside.

There were holes enough for weapons like grand bows or even simple bows to be used. On the top, I didn't find a scrap of a single weapon left behind by these Hescos.

When they retreated, they seemed to claim everything with them. That wasn't just to prevent giving me free stuff, but also to prevent giving me ideas about the full powers of these towers.

If anyone told me these towers were just used as stations for defending forces, I'd not believe him. Whoever took the trouble to build such towers in such a way meant something else.

Thinking about the grand complicated defensive design my forces fought against, I grew suspicious about these towers.

"I have to make sure the Hescos will never take these towers back," I muttered, while thinking of the best weapons that could be used in this situation; the mines!

If my forces here had mines and planted them inside these towers and around them when needed, then if we failed defending these towers, the Hescos would fail to claim them.

And if the research department had a way to detonate the entire towers, things would be much better.
