I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1616 [Bonus ] Screw Girlish Stuff!

"Yes! And they are quite strong! On top of that, they are fighting everyone, literally everyone, not only us!"

"This…" she said Karoline came back with grand armies made entirely of different races. The thing that was worthy of note was that all these races were already part of the apocalypse, or part of the worlds that merged with my Earth to form this new world.

All of this seemed wrong, totally wrong. Why did she come back now? And why was she leading such armies, fighting everyone here?

If she was targeting me, then I could understand it. I didn't know what happened to her, but I could tell now she was a sworn enemy of mine.

A girl of mine ended up in such a state… What a curse that I got over me!

I listened more to what she said. It seemed that Karoline planned to control these ten continents as she started a grand project of building there. Fortresses, tight defences, and even towns, villages, and cities were getting built there.

"What shall we do now? For two weeks we were trying to stop her, but we failed! I lost lots of good men thanks to her!"

"Don't give me that look, she stopped being my girl a long time ago!" I rolled my eyes when I felt like she was blaming me for all this.

"But she was still your girl!"

"That's why I didn't take any more girls to my side," I gave her a meaningful look, "anyway, let's do it this way… Withdraw!"

"What?!!!"

"Yes, withdraw, what's that hard to grasp from this?" I saw how shocked she was. And I understood her stance. However there was a much higher danger that I needed to deal with first, these bombs.

Not to mention Karoline's situation was a blessing in the form of a curse.

"But… Are you sure? This is Karoline in the first place. Not to mention she is going to establish a strong foothold for her here."

"What if she did?" I calmly smiled, "she is going to give us a great service this time. Why shall we stand and oppose her?"

"This…"

I knew Lily didn't get it. And even if she couldn't, that meant even Karoline or anyone else would. The idea was simple. If Karoline brought together such a bizarre army, fighting everyone and making enemies out of all races, then why would I stand against her then?

In fact, being there, sending our forces to stop her, was the most foolish thing I'd done.

Instead, I should clear the space out for her, let her fight the enemies and keep them busy. Just like this, the two sides would keep wounding each other. And that would weaken them.

Not to mention the other races would have to dispatch lots of forces to this new battlefront. Doing this would relieve the pressure over our side, and that was something good.

As for her, even if she managed to keep the ten continents in the end, heavily fortify them, then what was the point in all this? In the end, the entire world, all the races and enemies here would be crushed. And alongside this, she would be all alone in the middle of an endless ocean of my forces.

Even if she built the strongest fortresses out there, heavily fortified these continents, nothing would change. In the end, her armies would get crushed, and she'd get captured by me.

She wasn't more formidable or much scarier than the strong enemies I faced and conquered so far. And she wouldn't be an exception to such a role.

A king shouldn't fear anyone else, not even his strongest and most vicious enemy. If anyone wants to be a king, even in a small apartment or house, then this person must first have the qualities of being a king before claiming such a title.

For me, I knew my abilities and strengths quite well as I did know of my shortcomings. And that made me not fear her, not fear anyone actually.

No matter whom, no matter how the odds were, everything would end up rolling to my favour by the end.

"Just do as I say," I paused before stressing over this, "retreat! Call back all the forces there, and leave these continents for later time."

"..."

I turned at this moment to see the portals flash. Many folks from the research department arrived at last. "Sorry, but I have a much more stressful matter to handle right now. Don't let me down on this, and let her have all the fun, even clear the nearest continents from our forces as well."

"No way! We fought like hell to claim many parts around her ten continents!"

"It's a tactical retreat! Can't you get it? We need to place the two forces against each other. Like this, the races will focus more on handling her. And by retreating, we'll clear direct paths between their turfs and hers. What went in your head today? Why are you acting like this?!"

I gave her a stern look, and for a moment there she kept trembling without saying a single world. She clenched both fists, and soon I got something from her attitude.

Don't tell me she was envious and getting her female emotions stirred up against Karoline! That wasn't right, Lily was always a dependable and capable general, the most I valued so far!

"Don't disappoint me on this," I gave her this as the last warning before moving towards the newly arrived folks from the research department, "I won't tolerate anything going wrong on this plan, got it?"

I didn't turn to look at her when I said these words. Instead I kept walking, leaving her behind. Then I kept myself a little busy explaining the simple and yet crucial task I wanted these people to do for me.

They needed to dig the ground, not just for a few thousands metres, but for tens of thousands of metres! I got the place of that hidden cave marked already, and all they needed to do was to dig, keep digging until they'd reach that very deep point.

"Follow me," after making sure they got what I wanted them to do, I led them back towards that continent.
