I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1229 Finishing All Preparations

The gap between me and her was growing no matter what I tried to do. Taking down the walls wasn't just the only thing that took much time, spreading out warriors in the tunnels took more.

I couldn't escape such a task no matter what. The only guarantee to counter the Hescos trap lay on the shoulders of these forces.

I didn't expect them to crush the incoming Hescos, but they would at least stop them for enough time. I wanted to buy myself time just in case something bad happened during the next step of the plan.

Sara's forces were marching up fast no matter how many times I warned her to slow down. Per her words, the Hescos were growing thin the higher they climbed, and she had nothing to do but to accept the free gift of layers from them.

Even if she asked her forces to slow down, the enemy didn't give us such privilege.

Getting to know this made me feel more helpless about this. [Alright, here's what you'll do… Take all the layers you want but always make sure you leave a way out from there]

[What do you mean by that?]

[It's simple] If the enemy made sure my troops would sank deeper into his trap, then I got nothing else to do but to do this, [Leave behind enough forces to clear a path for your forces' retreat]

[Retreat?! Why would we think about retreat right now? We are crushing them! We are winning! They are the ones who should worry about retreating and running away, not us!]

Poor girl… Being scary and formidable in fighting wasn't enough. Just when you'd deal with a strategy genius enemy like the one we got here, you wouldn't even know when you started to lose or even understand why things turned upside down.

Matching a strategy based general against brute force general was the worst case scenario of the latter. I knew trying to explain things to this thick headed girl wouldn't work. And so I refrained from wasting my breaths and time over this.

[Just in case something unexpected happened. Do as I say and stop questioning me at every corner!]

[Ok, but you owe me a long explanation when this is over…] She paused for a moment before adding, [And I'm telling you right now, now matter how hard the enemy tries, he won't be able to find a way to turn things over. We are already on a high speed train heading for victory. Nothing will stop us!]

[I hope things turn out to be like you say, but don't forget what I said either]

[I will do as you say, but I'm telling you now it's pointless]

Tsk! That girl was indeed right about everything, except for the ones who were going to win and lose this battle. If I followed her logic and steps, we'd end up losing, losing bitterly.

Seeing the words she sent made me realise how scary the strategic generals of the Hescos here were. The more I got to know them, the more eager I wanted them to be mine.

After reaching the fifty layer, I stopped filling the tunnels. I left the two thousand fallen gods scattered over two layers, demolishing the walls there. I gave them orders to keep doing this for the remaining layers before finally grouping up with Sara and her forces up there.

I knew the next time I'd come here would be when the final scheme of the Hescos would be deployed. At the same time, I felt the meeting of my fallen gods and Sara's forces would be when the latter would be trying their best to retreat.

At least my fallen gods here would help them to retreat safely and stop any unforeseen dangerous elements and foes from entrapping Sara and her forces.

It was all the help I could provide for Sara and others without alarming the enemy about anything. It might not be the best help, but it was better than nothing.

"Time to make the big move," as I got done with fortifying the lower fifty layers with my warriors, it was time for me to start my big move.

I first headed down towards the bottom of this pit. "Have you taught them everything?" I asked the research department folks the moment I reached down there.

After more than three days, the reinforcements coming from Earth stopped and only weapons and ammunition were sent through the portal.

The five armies were already here. And the other five were waiting for my signal.

It was still early to think about inviting them here. I looked around and saw tons of weapons standing down there, ready to fight.

The Hescos after adopting their plan stopped sending forces from the surface. The forces they sent before were already killed by my fallen gods and other forces. Those who remained fighting here were inside the high up layers.

So the weapons didn't suffer much damage, almost none at all. At the same time, the research department stuck to my orders and didn't use the weapons till now.

"Lord, we taught them everything they needed to know," a group of the soldiers belonging to the research department came and spoke with me, "they learnt how to use all kinds of weapons, even the apaches and planes."

"Great," I didn't delay any further and took back all the Bulltors. Then I started moving around, storing all the weapons and ammo inside my inventory. "You'll wait here and keep gathering up weapons and ammo."

"Won't we join the fight?" one of them asked in doubt and little bitterness on his face and in his tone.

"You will wait," I didn't flinch under such a young guy's reaction, "until the moment when the sky will turn dark and enemies will flood from everywhere coming at us. At this moment, we will depend on your performance to pull out the last stretch and secure victory."

Everyone around had their faces change for a moment. They seemed to mistake their role here and felt they had nothing else to do.
