I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1317 Falling For Their Little Trick

If the deadly Silence race failed, then normal races would appear next. And so building the entire defences only to stop the Silence race using the arrays would end up quite bad for my forces in the end.

Isac was puzzled and didn't know what to do. By what she said, she was trying to make up spaces for the ferocious nature of the deadly attack of the star arrays.

I liked the name she gave to these arrays, star arrays. However I reassured her that using the fifth and deadly type of attack would only be when the enemy was crushing our defences.

Trying to activate the fifth layer anytime the enemy would appear meant the entire defences would be quite useless.

It wasn't just impossible to build defences based on the range of effects of the star arrays, but also it'd exhaust tons of bones without getting any in return!

From the fierce nature of the fifth technique, I knew without the need to test that nothing would be left behind to collect.

No loot from the inventory would be collected, neither bones.

That meant my plan to collect an endless supply of bones to replenish what I'd lost would fail.

Putting everything in mind, I told Isac my decision about the fifth and deadly technique of the star array. That technique would be left as the last resort, some sort of our mass destruction weapon.

After knowing this, all her doubts were removed and she returned to her work again. And also I returned to do my task.

After almost ten more days, I finally managed to place everything into nineteen places. As for the last one, it was left empty for now, as Lily was still testing everything.

I didn't rush her out. There was still half a month left. During which I decided to start taking out warriors, strengthening them using my stat crystals, while thinking about the general strategy of the upcoming battles.

I now have a way to stop the Silence race. And so I didn't need to throw my warriors away.

First the ones who would be appointed to control the star array would be the soldiers not the warriors.

I planned to use the warriors as fodders, and that greatly pained me. If I got the choice, I'd not send my warriors to their demise without having a way to fight.

And so after thinking thoroughly about that, I decided to keep the warriors behind for now. They'd keep helping in the construction project all over the place, but they wouldn't take part in any upcoming battle against the Silence race.

When the enemy would see his precious and unstoppable troops get crushed by my star array, then new races would appear.

And that would be the moment for my warriors to step in and help.

I sent out to Isac to inform all the generals about this plan. Each general was allowed to select only ten million warriors to use as soldiers. They would follow their orders and become part of their armies.

Aside from that, all the remaining warriors would be withdrawn. Lily worked to take note of all the warriors each general selected, and made sure these warriors would be trained over the star arrays in return.

Trying to fight the Silence race using just these tens of millions might look crazy. However they were enough.

I spoke with Isac again before I finished my task. She managed to plan a grand scheme of defences, using the fifth layer technique as the last resort in such plans.

From the look of it, she used tons of towers to make the basic structure of the defences. Towers wouldn't take much land, wouldn't take that much time to build, and would enable the many weapons and gears I and my generals had to be allocated on top of these and be used efficiently.

As for the star arrays themselves, they had places for the holes and general structure lined up in the middle of all this.

But that was just a general layout, one that I didn't approve of until Lily finished her task first and gave me the results.

And that happened just two days after I finished my task.

[Lily is looking for you!] I was taking a tour at one place when I got this message from Alex.

[Where is she?]

[She is waiting for you back at ground zero]

Isac, Lily, and others agreed to name the first place I appeared at as ground zero. The name suited the importance and value of that place.

I returned back to ground zero and found Isac waiting with Lily, Legend, Sara, and the jumper.

During this time the jumper kept himself all silent and hidden. For a reason, I felt like this little dude was trying to do something that he kept to himself.

When I saw his ugly mask again, I couldn't help but feel more inclined to ask him about what he was doing this far.

I didn't visit his place for so long. And his place happened to be one of the earliest places I visited before I shifted my attention towards the star array matter.

But it wasn't yet time for me to do so. I needed to listen to what Lily had to say first.

"I tested that star array…" She started speaking by saying that. Even before saying hi she went directly into the topic.

From her tone, I realised that there was good and bad news to share. And I got prepared to have many of my hopes shattered at the spot.

"And?" I slowly asked, and got myself prepared for the worse.

"After doing many tests, and using different grades of bones, we reached this conclusion…"

I held my breath and waited for her to continue her words.

And after long minute, she finally added:

"The merge theory between two star arrays worked!"

"You… Damn you!" I knew I got played by her and others. The moment I cursed in such a way, everyone present couldn't help themselves and started to laugh.
