I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1793: The Lady Nymph Attacks

[Oho, you want me to lead the charge and attack the caravan? Are you sure?] After ten hours, and lots of fights as he predicted, the lady nymph finally arrived at the spot he designated for her.

She managed to outpace the caravan even after all these fights and delays. Hye already calculated everything and knew even if the lady nymph spent five more hours, she'd still be in a position ahead of the caravan.

[I want you to attack when the caravan arrives at your side] Hye paused, [Your role isn't to get the caravan, but to make the Toranks feel threatened. I know they have something hidden, some sort of a weapon, so don't use all of your forces at one go. I'll also send more ships and warrior token over you right away]

[You seem to be worried about what they prepare… Ok, what shall I do then? Let them run away?]

She was excited, thirsty to fight, but she wasn't all stupid. She already had long experience in the impact she came from. And so she knew the odds and risks and could already sniff how dangerous it was to do it the way Hye proposed.

[Exactly what I want you to do] Hye paused, [I want you to let them escape, not in any direction, but the same direction they came from]

[This… Isn't he back there? Is he ready to welcome them?] She was referring to the pirate king, as she knew where he was, and could tell what Hye wanted.

[Don't worry about him, I'll make sure he'll be ready] Hye didn't say anything, as he was still hesitant about picking between himself and the pirate king, [Just get ready. I want you to block any path of retreat in any direction but that one, and make sure to not die]

[You worry about me? How sweet of you!]

[I invested a lot in you, hahaha!] Hye coldly laughed, and closed the chat before reading what she responded, which was rude as expected.

After handling her, he first sent tons of ships and warrior tokens first. He knew arranging fleets and forces wasn't a one order task and would take time. And so, he did it first.

Then he turned his full attention towards the toughest decision he had to make… Would he lead this charge? Or let the pirate king do it?

"Screw it, let him do it then," he decided to play it the hard way, as it was way better in the long run.

[You are crazy, you know that] the pirate king stayed silent until Hye finished sending his part in the plan, [You want to sacrifice us this way, right?]

[You'll indeed be in the limelight, but this will be the best start for your force] Hye rolled his eyes, [After this battle, your forces name will spread far and wide]

[Provided that we made it out of here without lives intact!]

[This is something I'll guarantee] Hye knew the pirate king's worries weren't groundless, [You just take care of your role, and leave the rest to me]

[I hope you know what you are doing… I'll start preparing then. Send over the ships and tokens]

Hye didn't delay and sent another batch of tokens and ships over to the pirate king. He had to empty roughly one tenth of his ship's treasury. But that wasn't the main issue.

He planned to make the pirate force led by these two be formed of the outer universe ships. But now he ran short of these and had to use this universe's ships.

He had lots of these outer world ships before, but they all got used and he had to adapt. "It's indeed true, nothing goes as planned, right?" he bitterly smiled, before shoving away such thoughts and worries, and focusing over what was yet to come.

The position of the lady nymph and her fleet was indeed perfect! The caravan headed straight towards her spot, and she used the time to perfectly lay a few ambushes, not only on the main course of the entire grand fleet coming, but also on many other possible paths they'd take when attacked.

Of course, she got hints and advice from Hye from time to time, but the latter had to admit to himself that she excelled in orchestrating such a big ambush.

"It's starting," once the caravan and the accompanying fleets got in range, the lady nymph started bombarding them with everything she got. As Hye watched this, he instantly sent a message over to the pirate king.

[Inform the world that your pirate force is the one hitting the caravan right now] He sent, [Make sure you send a sample of the ongoing battle, also try to use big words and make it as glorifying as you can!]

[Got it boss!] The pirate king didn't need any more explanation from Hye to get what the latter wanted to do.

As the pirate king started doing his task, Hye returned to fully focus on the hard battle on the lady nymph's side. He was willing to supply her with more ships and warriors if the situation forced his hands to do so. But luckily, the Toranks seemed stretched out and pressured for a long time already, and so they retreated much faster than he expected!

"They want to preserve their strength…" Hye didn't like such a result, [Keep pushing forward, don't let them go through without using their secret weapon!]

[Are you sure?]

[Just send everyone and manage the battle from far away] Hye knew her concerns about that move, and he totally accepted her worries, [Just make sure at most you'll lose half of the fleet, and you'll force them to use that weapon]

[You seem too sure about it. Fine, I know what to do!]

As she said, she got the right way to force the Toranks hands. In fact, during the short battle that didn't last for a couple hours, she didn't directly attack the caravan except for rare occasions.
