I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The three came in ten minutes. Just from the smiles over their faces I knew how good and thrilled they were.

"Boss," Leo seemed to be infected by the spearhead as he started to call me the same way that dude did, "whassup?"

"I see you are feeling good about this victory here," I said before taking out my staff, "but for the record, this is just a simple victory that will mean nothing if we didn't end up crushing that tower up there."

"Isn't this the staff of your teleportation?" Karoline pointed at the staff and I gave her a warm smile.

"You are going to Elizabeth city with your forces," I said while activating the staff and initiating the portal, "bring them here and go there."

"For what?" Sara asked, "are there still enemies to kill in that city?"

"I killed everyone there," I shook my head.

"So why are we going there, boss?" Leo asked.

"You have to defend that city during the upcoming hours," I seriously said, "this is a very important task. If we can't defend the cities we got from the retaliation of that illusionist archlord, we'll end up losing everything we gained so far."

"So we have to go there and hold it?" Karoline asked in doubt, "but who will go and crush that tower then?"

"Leave this task for me," I firmly said, "come on, there is no time to waste here. Call on your forces to gather and lead them through this portal."

"But my forces are too much!" Karoline said, referring to her army size. Before coming here, I punished all of the others for the slight mishap they had before.

"Take only one half then," I said without even thinking too much about it, "start right away. The other city is now being protected by my forces. But I will withdraw them soon."

"Alright," the three said and before they started calling their armies here, I gave a few instructions about what they should do up there.

First they had to take control over the small castles scattered inside the city. These castles might not be as strong as the big central castle of the mega gate there. But holding them would help a lot in the defence process.

Also I firmly stressed over the importance of spreading scout groups all over the area around the city. They would act as early warning beacons for the forces inside the city, so they wouldn't be surprised by any attack.

After I finished with them, I sent messages with the same content for the other team members here. As I did that, I finished all the needed preparations to defend the two cities.

I thought about going and hit the last city. I knew I could easily control it, but would face a bigger problem in defending the city. After all, we lacked enough numbers to match evenly with the enemy.

So it was a waste and held too much risk to do that. I had to let it go for now, and aim for the second goal in my plan.

"I'll leave the portal here until you finish," I headed towards my chariot as I said to the three before me.

"Will you wait until we are done then close it up?" Sara asked and I shook my head.

"I don't have that much time to spare," I said, "in addition to that, it's better to have a portal running between the two cities for now. This portal will last until I set it off myself. But don't waste time and once gathered enough go immediately to Elizabeth city."

As I said this I controlled my chariot and flew fast towards the direction of the third city. I wasn't planning to directly attack it, plus I had to wait for an hour at least until they arrived at Elizabeth city.

So I just kept my chariot moving at its intermediate power state. After half an hour, I started to spot a large number of enemies moving from the central area towards the direction of Irvington city.

It looked like that dude finally got some courage to fight back. The numbers I saw were in tens of thousands, forming dense groups that marched one after another.

I sent a warning message to all of my team, while praying that dude would have some balls and send more than this.

Few tens of thousands? That wouldn't be enough at all to even warm up my forces! Besides I wanted that bastard to keep throwing his forces over the walls of mine.

The more he lost, the weaker he would be and the easier time I'd have to crush that tower at the end.

As I saw these forces, I started to roam around and try to get a better glance over their numbers. From what I saw, that dude sent slightly over two hundred thousand forces to Irvington city.

Was he planning to send the same over Elizabeth? Or slightly more?

At this point I decided to not let him have his way in this. If he wanted to send reinforcements, then it would be better if I controlled the direction of his forces.

"Come!" As I decided that, I called forth half of my fallen gods here. In addition to that I had enough soul points to summon ten more fallen gods.

Like usual I summoned lightning fallen gods. After giving the newly summoned ones enough from the essence shards, I pointed towards the big army moving towards Irvington city and coldly said:

"Annihilate them!"

The next thing I heard was loud rumblings occurring at many places of that army in the distance. My fallen gods sent their attacks without hesitation, and in a span of few breaths death befell those bastards.

Then I led my chariot and flew over their heads, leisurely watching them die under the hands of my fallen gods.

My attack came swiftly and in a surprise that gave no time for them to even run away. Just in the span of ten minutes, I killed almost thirty thousands of them while almost double this number got dispersed all over the place.

I didn't chase them. After all, my goal wasn't to completely wipe them out. I knew they would regroup later on but at least I showed the coward that this path was blocked.

"Now he should focus more on Elizabeth city," I did that while putting into my mind the true nature of the illusionist race.

If I was dealing with drags or Selvators then the result would be the total opposite. These two races were courageous and pretty stubborn to run away from a provocation like that.

Yet I was dealing with a coward. So after I killed two more groups of these forces, nothing else came again.

"Time to go to Newark city."

As I started heading there, I sent messages to my team to notify them about these updates. The enemy would now focus entirely over Elizabeth city.

And I intended to turn this city into his force meat grinder to be honest.

I also warned the three at Elizabeth city from what was coming at them. I planned to recall most of my warriors and summoners and only leave twenty fallen gods back there to help them.

As for the rest, I'd simply use them to hit my next target.

Don't take me wrong, I wasn't planning to hit that city yet. Fang and Wryly forces were still fighting their enemies.

These two sent over stating that they were pushing them back. I knew they weren't just boasting or giving false statements here. But they still didn't manage to crush their enemies.

That meant they weren't just facing monsters, but monsters led by other races. That dude learnt his lesson from before and seemed to get some help in regards to how to rule over this war.

But no matter what he did, he was destined to fall! My next target wasn't the city, but the caravans coming out from it.

Just as I got closer to the ruined city, I could see a long line coming out from it. It looked like a thick line that extended from the city and went towards the horizon into the direction of that tower.

"Come," as I reached there, I called forth all my forces, and then landed over their heads without warning.

My target was to simply cut off the supply line coming from this city. In fact I didn't need to occupy this city at all. All I needed to do was to harass any caravan coming out from it, killing any defending forces the enemy sent with them, and that would be more than enough.

The enemy only had this city mega gate working to bring these materials to the tower. Of course they had their epic gate over the tower, but for some reason they seemed to not be able to use it properly like other mega gates.

I didn't care about any of that. After all my enemies' hardships were celebrations for me.

I harassed the line and cut it starting from the city and to a distance of ten miles away. Then I stopped and returned to the city while waiting.

My actions weren't just to stop the enemy supply line, but to also provoke him to make a reckless move. If I was him, I'd send a lot of forces to secure the next caravans.

But doing so would threaten to lose more without gaining much. My previous actions proved that I wasn't a soft rock to crush here.

So it wasn't weird when that bastard sent an army out from the city compromising a few tens of thousands. It seemed to me they either were the ones securing the city or forces hastily brought over from the mega gate.

It didn't matter who they were. In the span of the next half an hour, I crushed and killed five waves of such forces, killing almost half of them and dispersing the rest all across the land.

They were panicked enough to not return to Newark city again. Only a few returned there and I didn't know if they remained inside, came out with other waves, or ran away from the city's rear borders.

"Oh, he seems to grow restless now!" as I heard the growing sounds of marching forces coming from my back, I turned and evilly grinned when I saw what was coming.

The entire horizon was literally covered with densely packed enemies. That bastard decided to lead most of his forces here, to try and crush me and secure the supply route again.

During my previous battle here, he tried to crush the forces at Elizabeth city. Wave after wave of enemies got crushed in brutal fights without even succeeding to secure a single castle or emblem inside.

I knew his back was pushed violently against the wall. He had no other choice but to come directly here and face me, hoping he could find a way and land a good hit at me.

He tried to do so as well and failed. I killed almost over a hundred shadows who tried to kill me during my fights. Yet all his attempts failed and he was now having one way to go.

Should I face them here? Or should I retreat? Of course the answer was simple… I should use this chance and start drawing the main forces of his away from the tower and the cities zone.

Fang and Wryly were this close to crush their enemies and then come to me. According to them, Fang was close to Elizabeth city while Wryly was closer to Newark city.

So simply put, one would work with me to cut down the main force of the enemy and the other would work with my forces at Elizabeth and Irvington cities and take down that annoying tower for good.

The plan was set, and fate was already set in stone. That dude was destined to lose and this fight was going to be the last straw that would break his back.

And the last hit would come from me at the appropriate time. Just wait dude, my dagger is dying to be dyed in your blood.
