I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 146 Enemy Is Approaching

“If you can, take,” I shrugged, “but I believe the fight inside big cities will be hard and brutal. It will waste more time and resources. Let’s focus on expanding our territory as fast as possible.”

“What’s the time limit for this phase?” the jumper asked again.

“From three up to five days,” I pondered for a long moment, “but once I start phase two, you’ll be on alert to join at my mark.”

“Yes yes, your phase three or whatever,” the jumper waved his hand before adding, “I’ll go and select two thousands from the armies here.”

“Dude, these people are all experienced and strong,” the spearhead worked with the jumper for a long time to not fear him like Leo, “you can’t dream about having all the good stuff for yourself!”

“Who will stop me? You? Humph!” That dude was even more arrogant than dragons!

“The forces here will be distributed evenly,” I stepped in, “among all of us,” I added while making it clear that I’d take part of this force here just like them.

“You have your warriors, why ask for more?” The jumper seemed a bit aggressive. He didn’t like me standing on the side of the spearhead on this. But the latter had a point and a right to claim.

“I will only handle phase two on my own,” I said, “if you want, then you can help me.”

“You have Karoline already,” the jumper glared at me, “why do you need my help?”

“Coward,” I rolled my eyes and like always, that dude exploded in rage while shouting his typical answer.

“Do you want to die?”

Come one dude! Couldn’t you be more creative please?

“Everything will be shared,” I said in a decisive tone to end this useless debate.

“But there are tons of beginners here,” the jumper didn’t drop this matter this easily.

“Then do your part as a leader of the team and train them,” I said in a sharp tone while telling others what they should do as well.

“Many of them will die,” the spearhead said.

“Most will die,” Sara added.

“They have to learn it the hard way then,” Isabella shrugged, “they have to experience hell the way we do.”

“Yes, it’s the right way indeed,” I said in agreement, “besides we have lots of new green faces. Apocalypse isn’t a babysitting trip, so take them directly and throw them into the depths of hell.”

My words put an end to this matter. As everyone got what they would do, the jumper had another thing to pick at me again.

“What about the experienced forces in New York city?” he said, “are you going to have them all for yourself?”

“We’ll share them as well,” I rolled my eyes at him, “but we’ll add two more slots in the mix.”

“What for? Two more? Gimme a break!” that dude exploded his anger again but who told him he was the boss here?

“This is for the end game move,” I said in a decisive tone again, “the forces are on the way here already. They’ll take one hour to arrive. I already ran the numbers and left two shares back at the city.”

One slot was for defending the city, and the other was meant to be used in times of distress. I knew he knew that, but he just loved to hustle over everything I said.

“So we got an hour?” Alex asked, “can we move out before that?”

“Little impatient you are,” Leo said but I found it weird for Alex to be this impatient.

“What’s going on?” I asked, “don’t try and hide it.”

“I won’t,” she shrugged, “I just got an info from my ability.”

“The angels?” I knew what happened. She got to see a peak from the enemy plans. That was the best thing for sure, provided that what she saw was something good.

“They gave an order to their traitors in a radius of one hundred miles around here to gather up and start to come here,” she said and I knew now why she became so impatient to leave so fast.

“There are a strong force nearby?” I asked and her silence was a good answer for me. “Alright, we will do it this way… you’ll disperse and leave the incoming forces to act as a surprise reinforcement.”

“All of them?” The jumper’s eyes shone brightly in a will to fight spirit, “I’d prefer to wait for them here and crush them.”

“Dude, that won’t help,” I looked at him as I pointed at the map drawn on the ground of my chariot’s rooftop, “they aren’t throwing away their traitors for nothing. Just think about it… What will they gain most by this useless move?”

I knew the enemy wasn’t dreaming about killing all of us using that move. They only wanted to delay our force deployment. And why was that? The answer was simple.

That dragon bastard would move his forces during that delay. So the angels wanted to waste our time and I wouldn’t fall for that.

If the traitors thought of themselves to be enough against me, then they had to rethink that delusional thought.

“But…” the jumper was still bitter about losing his own share of forces.

“I’ll send the survivors equally to all of you,” I said before adding, “but that will happen after all of the attack waves are gone, do you get it?”

“That means no reinforcements for two days straight at least!” the spearhead said and I nodded. Dude, if you didn’t like it, then do something about the naive forces you had. Train them, throw them to hell or anything, I didn’t care.

Just make the best use of your forces to your best capabilities.

“So we are going to move out now?” Isabella jumped on her feet like she was warming up.

“Sooner the better,” I nodded, “I’ll leave the distribution of the forces here to you two,” I was talking to Isabella and spearhead. And the two nodded.

“Do you know where and when the first waves will come?” I asked and Alex shook her head.

“I only knew that five groups are coming from nearby counties to here,” she said, “and they won’t just hit here, but also New York.”

“So I’ll have to jump between two places, not a problem,” I didn’t find it hard especially with my little staff in action.

I already had stored bookmarks in New York city. If things went south there, I could easily jump there and help them before returning here again.

In my opinion, New York city was well protected. The forces there were all elites, all saw the colour of blood of their enemies.

And the city was already well secured with the forces expanding to the nearby counties. So even if traitors aimed at New York, I wasn’t worried about losing it.

But here… Things were much different. Indeed the incoming forces would be a great help, but come on… the city here was just ruins. Literally ruins!

So the fight here would be a deadly direct encounter between our two forces. Against experienced traitors, my huge army of noobs would be put at a hard test.

That of course if I didn’t use my warriors, and I wouldn’t.

I needed to train my forces. Having a large number of humans in such a short span of time was epic, but it also held a deadly trap.

If I left them protected and noobs, then I would be digging my own grave later on. Traitors and monsters weren’t a challenge for my warriors and elites. But against that dragon archlord… the game rules would be changed drastically.

I had to train them, not only me. But everyone else needed to do so as well.

So leaving aside the elites coming from New York city, it was better for the longer shot to use the forces here to resist.

Let them taste the blood of their enemies, let them fight with their lives on the line.

“See you later.”

“Stay safe.”

“Keep in touch.”

All of the team of mine left while giving me encouraging words. Only the jumper glared in a cold way as if he was threatening me from behind his mask or something.

“Don’t dwindle too much about those elites, you hear me?” he said in a threatening tone before leaving my chariot.

“That dude is just like an explosive ticking bomb,” Karoline finally spoke after everyone left.

It seemed like she was under immense pressure when everyone was here.

“He is always like this,” I waved my hand as if I didn’t care about him. “It’s now up to us to defend the two cities.”

“Will our forces be enough?” she looked at me in a weird way before adding, “there is a nearby military base nearby. It’s almost twenty to thirty miles away from here.”

“We don’t need them,” I could already hear her own thoughts playing out loud in my mind.

The last thing I needed right now was to add more noobs to my already newbie forces.

I had to first train my boys, turning them into decent forces before receiving more troops.

The number of forces in the city was already immense. Not to mention the people we had from Leo, the number of saved people from the cages in the castles all around the city was really immense!

At least thirty thousand humans were inside the city, and my share of them would be almost eight thousand.

This might look like a decent force, especially when adding the elites that Sara led here. Let’s hope one tenth of them survive at the end when phase two starts.

If I could salvage one to two thousand humans from them, this fight would become really worthy of my time. But I lacked any info regarding the numbers of the enemies marching towards here.

If they just attacked blindly then it would be for the best. Yet I had such a hunch that they wouldn’t do that.

They would first wait and gather, amassing a decent force enough to threaten me.

“I need you to do something for me,” I said while not turning my gaze off the map in front of me.

“Anything,” Karoline instantly said.

“Remember the info I taught you when we first met?” I asked and she nodded in understanding. “I want you to lead a short crash course for everyone here. Tell them everything about the market, the skills, gears, how to fight, how to kill, everything, alright?”

“It’s not a big deal,” she said, “but I’d love to gather everyone together first.”

“Leave this to me,” I opened my friendlist and instantly sent a short message to someone. The answer came swifty back with one short phrase.

[Count me in!]

“Cool.”

“What?” Karoline mistook my comment to be for her.

“It’s nothing,” I shrugged before summoning two dragons. The two appeared hovering on top of our heads, looking threatening with their big bodies and their auras.

“What were you doing? Eating that monster or what?!” I felt the slight change in them, yet I didn’t find anything weird in their information window.

“Lord, we couldn’t resist it,” one of the two said while the other one said in defence:

“Other brothers also ate its meat.”

I looked at the two. Their bodies got slightly bigger but it wasn’t the issue here. The air they emitted was way far more dangerous and threatening than before.

“It won’t turn you into dark realm dragons or something, right?” I asked as nothing was mentioned in their info windows.

“It’s… making us grow stronger,” one of them said while the other said in defence again:

“Everyone ate the meat of the monster, not only the two of us.”

“Dude, I’m just concerned about your safety… you know what? Forget it,” I didn’t hustle too much about this matter. After all they all looked better and that was what mattered.

“Go around, gather all the humans left inside. Bring them here. Go and then go back to gather the meat and other materials.”

“Ok lord,” the two roared and flew fast as they vanished in urgency, worrying I’d order them to stop eating the meat.

But if they could get stronger eating that dead monster’s meat, why would I stop them? As long as it wasn’t dangerous then it was fine.
