I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1387 Testing Out My Forces

But as that blinding light vanished, they saw the shields and so started to run fast towards them.

And I didn't stand idle either. Just in the twenty seconds the fire needed to return back to attack the paths, I managed to spread over three more shields over two paths.

The fire came hot and fierce, slammed heavily against my chariot's shield but couldn't do much damage to it.

? "Again!" I didn't even wait for more than half a minute before reactivating the offensive skill again. And this time the effect it got was much weaker than the first.

And that was quite expected! I didn't give my shields anytime to stack up damage. Not to mention all the hostile forces around were killed or thrown far away.

It looked like I was using grenades to push wild ocean waves away so they'd not submerge me or my forces. Each time I used a shockwave, the fire would be pushed for a little distance for a short time, before the shockwave would vanish and the fire would return again.

This kept happening for almost ten stressful minutes. During which, lots of my warriors fell to the ground, and only those who were close to my shields, or I saved time by adding more shields, or those around my soulers who used their defensive shields, managed to survive.

My offensive shields' strikes seemed like they were getting dried up at the end of the ten minutes, only lasting for a brief few seconds before vanishing.

But as the warriors were either saved, killed, or retreated away from the reach of the fire, things returned to roll in my favour once more.

"Thanks for giving me such a heads up warning," I didn't mourn or feel any bitterness at the losses of all these forces on my side. After all, casualties were expected in battles, in such a hectic battle, in any battle.

But the end result of this wasn't that bad actually. The enemy lost much more than I did. Even if I lost hundreds of thousands of warriors, the enemy lost a good card he could use at a crucial moment to surprise me.

And as I got to know about such a tactic by the enemy, and such weakness in my plans, I started to solve everything down from the root of the problem.

Wasn't my path vulnerable? Fine! I'd start coating them up with my shields and cover every single speck of it.

And luckily for me, the forces down below didn't need my presence or anything. Before doing such a long task, I left a message for Isac and other generals.

I warned them from my absence for at least one day, and stressed over not sending Sara out for now.

As for the entire plan, I let them execute it as we agreed before.

Of course Sara complained, complained a lot, but I didn't give any heed to any of her angry messages.

She was going to face a deadly situation if I let her go all alone deep into the enemy lines.

It might look as a slight hiccup in our entire plan, but it was inevitable for any plan to show such flaws.

I started by coating the closest parts of the eleven paths first before moving out and taking one path each time. I kept moving up towards the silver ground up there, coated even parts there surrounding each path entrance, and then headed down through a new path.

It took me less than I expected. In half a day, I managed to coat all the paths with shields to make the paths look like they were moving inside a huge bubble that stretched to the sky.

When I returned back, I found that the ground battle expanded to cover way beyond the reach of my shields I left behind.

The armies already met together and each two armies worked as a single unit. Five thick snakes stretched out from my shields and started to spread death and chaos among the enemy lines.

The plan of the enemy to disturb my forces' line up failed quite miserably. They even didn't manage to buy themselves more than one hour before my forces killed all the enemies inside the shields and went outside.

The enemy might have bought himself an hour of time to rest and rearrange their lines. But at the same time, my side also managed to make the best use of such time.

The armies met up and arranged themselves and started to work per plan. Only Sara was left behind and that made her more enraged the more she watched the ongoing battles everywhere.

The enemy tried to use different tactics to stop my forces during my absence. I learnt about that from the constant messages Isac kept sending to keep me informed about the current situation of the battle.

They tried to use the human wave tactic, sending lots of locusts aided by the Silence race to suppress my forces.

They managed to create little chaos at first, stopping my advancing forces until the generals spotted where the problem lay; the Silences.

So instead of just throwing the warriors without proper planning, they started to make use of the star arrays. They used my bones and released deadly attacks to counter the Silences and even many of the enemy forces near and far.

Many deadly explosions rang, and the death toll of the enemy became terrifying. At the same time, the side of my forces didn't lose that much, as they retreated away from the effective range of each array.

That might have delayed my efforts quite a bit, but the end result was quite satisfying. The enemy's plans failed again. And then they started to use a different method.

They thought that my side didn't have enough soulers, and so they started to send entire teams out of friends at the frontline.

They made the fiends cover up my forces, and that helped a lot in making their side advance for a good distance before my soulers appeared.
