I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 272 The Cities Have Fallen

According to what they sent, they were advancing north and south of my place.

“The resistance vanished?!! Interesting!” that was what they all sent. The forces that were entangled at West came all the way to here, joined the forces of Karoline mainly with only Angelica’s and the spearhead’s forces joining Hilary.

Angelica’s purpose of doing that was obvious to me. She wanted to check over the chick that dared to target me and fight against Karoline.

As for the spearhead… What was that dude’s real aim? Wasn’t he all in Isabella or what? Don’t tell me he was sent by that jumper, to spy over my chick!

Well, anyway they were all gathered here. I sent them messages, giving them orders to be prepared at any given moment to come and help me.

I had a really strong force, but it was still limited in numbers. I also sent a message to the five generals of the three races via the contract, asking them to start moving towards here.

I left them behind with the purpose of defending my fortified Albany city. Yet at this moment, I felt the need for each ounce of strength I could muster.

I just left one army of the Grounders to defend the city. I thought about using the staff teleportation portal to bring them here, yet I felt my enemy wouldn’t allow me to use it.

As for calling them here, I felt it would be a waste as their movement speed was much slower than myself.

It was best to let them come here by themselves. According to what I’d face, I’d plan things accordingly.

According to my rough estimates, my scattered forces here would take almost an hour to arrive at Cambridge or Boston. As for my five generals, they would take roughly three to five hours at most to be here.

The gamer forces me to leave as a last resort. After all they were good but not that strong or experienced like most of my forces here. I feared if I threw them first in the clash, they would crumble or have large losses.

As I prepared all my forces, I opened my channel and started to watch my dragons. The first group headed towards Newton city were almost this close to reach there.

Their speed was superb, making the scenery change as fast as flashing around them. I sent ten dragons per group, hopefully they would be enough to sustain any attack coming from any hidden forces in any of these cities.

Yet the moment they arrived at Newton city outer region, they stopped all of sudden. I didn’t need to speculate, as the front was covered in a strange layer that seemed to be made up from yellow fluid.

It extended to form giant walls surrounding the entire city, extending even further upfront. This thing looked like a shield that was made out of waves, as the yellow walls kept trembling and moving like they were real waves.

The walls met up almost five hundred metres above the ground, forming a colossal dome that extended to the horizon.

“So this is what they were doing all this time,” I muttered, narrowing my eyes while taking a closer look over this thing.

My dragons there didn’t stop for too long. They started flying around, trying to find a hole or a gap to pass through.

Yet this shield thing was tightly closed. It also looked sturdy enough to sustain their waves of attacks when they tried to test it.

“Come back!”

Just as they attacked, I noticed a change at that shield. It was like some kind of force absorbed this attack, ending up gathering it and preparing to release it back.

Just before this would happen, my boys returned safely to my inventory. It was a great thing to have such a trick. Yet before they’d vanished from there, and while that part of the shield was doing its magic, the yellow colour dimmed and thinned from a great part of the shield.

And through it I could spot what lied within. The city inside looked pale and filled with ruins, yet one big wall was surrounding it with big towers and strong defences.

This Hector race… They were really hard to deal with! Just during these hours, they managed to fortify this city, spending large fortunes over this.

I also spotted a large number of forces, races, and monsters standing there cladded in heavy gear. They were ready and prepared for me.

Alright, one city was marked red for now. I just hoped they wouldn’t touch my beloved Cambridge and Boston.

But soon enough I was destined to be disappointed.

The scenes coming from the other two groups told me how similar this situation was. That shield extended from Newton city, to go and cover the two jewels of mine.

Yet when the dragons attacked the shield, I could see that there was still a big fight going on inside the two cities.

My humans… My race was fighting back against the Hector invasion. But I knew they wouldn’t hold for too long.

“Hmm… They missed that little city then…” just as I called back my last remaining group of dragons, I recalled the presence of a small city that was close to the southern borders of this shield.

I looked at the map and got its name. It was called: Brookline, reminding me of Brooklyn, New York.

[Gather up at Brookline city] I sent over to my scattered team and then briefed them about the current situation. They instantly responded, telling me their estimated arrival time.

The fastest to arrive was none other than Hilary with the other two with her. They didn’t need to circle around that big shield like other troops.

Even for her, Hilary said she’d take almost one hour to arrive there. Anyway I had two important tasks to do. First I had to go to that city and control it, then I had to find a way to crack open that shield.
