I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1421 Starting My Counterattack

Putting all this into consideration, I knew that it wasn't feasible and practical using such a deadly move. "I should leave this as the last resort way to deal with them," I decided.

As for the third way, it'd be a very exciting way to crush them, but in return I'd end up losing too much. And if the scale of the battle spanned outwards, covered a huge stretch of land, I'd not be able to control everything, and would suffer more losses eventually.

"Ok, I'll use the first one," I decided, "but I'll start scattering shields then."

I didn't have generals to lead from my friends, but I got generals whom I got from Silverlining. All of them would be enough to lead a single shield, and that would greatly help.

The bigger the number of shields, the faster the speed of taking control of this part of the world. At the same time, the amount of damage stored in ten shield zones would be much weaker than the amount stored in tens and even hundreds of shields.

I didn't even need to leave generals at all the zones. The most important fact about this army here was that it was mostly locusts. And these dudes were like headless flies, running amok all over the place, trying to get to the shields I left before.

As I decided, I started to create more shields, leaving behind the same mix of troops I left behind. At some point, I reached places that got filled entirely with locusts. And those were the result of spreading many shields in a circular fashion.

The locusts took the charge and led themselves around the shields. When they started to swarm the place, just in mere minutes, the huge central ground that was filled with normal mix of troops before changed to be filled mainly by locusts.

There I didn't leave a general behind, and didn't even leave the two million of my elites. I left a few hundred thousand, enough to take down any stray forces in these regions.

As this trick worked, and the enemy couldn't handle it as the locusts weren't the kind of troops to listen to orders and logic, I started to replicate it!

I grouped every ten shields to surround a grand area of ten miles radius inside. This helped a lot in clearing lots of land, controlling many parts already as the rest of forces with little sanity found a way out fast enough to evade my traps.

From the look of it, the enemy was very wary of my shields. And that made my early doubts about the enemy having ways to deal with my scary offensive attacks of my shields more grounded.

That didn't stop me. What I was doing was like forcing the enemy to reshape their entire forces in the region. And that brought a great idea into my mind.

I started to take into account the grand design of the circles I was drawing using my shields. Instead of throwing them around without order, I started to form a bigger circle filled with my smaller circles of shields.

The enemy would flock out most of their forces, the most formidable ones, outside these circular zones. They'd leave behind few, and that wasn't a decision they willingly selected.

The locusts prevented many from leaving in time. And when I started to distribute my circular shielded zones in the design I had in mind, the enemy lost more of their formidable forces.

At the same time, the number of the enemy forces outside when I got finished from doing that looked quite pathetic.

They weren't arranged in any formation, standing on the ground or flying in the air in disarray.

Seeing this made me grin evilly. The enemy focused more on running away, fearing from the last devastating bone exploding attack I used back at the previous world before coming here.

And when I started to widely spread my shields, they began to run with fear and desire to survive above anything else.

At first they retreated while keeping their formation. Yet later on that all changed, and all they cared about was how to survive and not fall under my traps.

The end result was quite expected. I was quite sure their leaders and superiors were spreading out orders, trying to arrange them, and they'd soon succeed.

Yet that'd take a long time to happen. And who said I should give them the chance to do that?

It was time to test the effectiveness of my soulers and repeaters, enhanced with my gears, over these one eyed giants and flying suited dudes.

"Lucas… A grand feast is waiting for you!" I took almost half of the remaining forces inside my inventory out, and let Lucas handle them all.

"Sure lord, do you want to attack a single region or everywhere?"

"Clear any enemy around my shields, don't stop until I bring you back or give you the order to stop and retreat."

"Leave this to me," Lucas was such a dependable and capable dude who would simply do what I wanted without much hustle.

He led his forces at the spot, didn't even think about arranging them at all, and started the killing spree.

"Hmm… So these suited dudes can withstand my soulers? Interesting…"

I still recalled how these dudes withstood the attacks of my glaive before. And now they were able to stay against my soulers while flashing through their bodies.

Yet there were too many crazy soulers and reapers out there. The two worked together and didn't relent until they started to bring these suited dudes one by one.

"Damn! Almost ten thousand flashes are needed to kill a single one? That's scary and crazy!" I now realise why my glaive couldn't handle these suited dudes quite well.

My glaive's strength was slightly stronger than a thousand soulers. I tested it before back at the last world I visited.

And now the mystery of my glaive failure to kill a single dude of them was cleared.
