I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 168 Elizabeth City

“My spies were all killed strangely before this battle started,” he gave me such bad news at this moment. Damn! Why didn’t you tell me this a bit earlier?!!

“All of them?” I asked, “you don’t have any eyes there at all?”

“Not a single one survived,” he shook his head in disappointment, “I don’t know how they got them all. But for some reason they suddenly discovered them and killed them while coming here.”

“This…” a name suddenly popped up in my mind, something I missed during my calculations…” Damn those angels! They really did something nasty this time!”

Of course it was them! Who else would have the ability to watch all of our movements and report it back to that illusionist archlord?

But it was too late for such regret. I had to change all my plans.

Those angels must have eavesdropped over my entire planning and reported my current arrangement to the enemy.

I spared a fast glance over the map before I knew what was going on here.

That sneaky bastard just sent a force to keep us busy while changing his escape route. The north, east, and west were all covered by my allied forces.

So he had nowhere to go but south. I asked my girl to dispatch forces there. But that was in case that bastard tried to escape there after his defeat.

Right now he was heading there with a terrifying combined force of three million strong fighters. This was a force my boys couldn’t handle at all.

“Pack your men,” I turned instantly to Fang, “they are heading south right now.”

“Why should I do that?” Just before I thought about my next city to jump at, Fang gave me such an unexpected answer.

“What?” I looked up at him and he simply shrugged.

“This is my city, and I’ll only defend here,” he said plain and clear. Damn that bastard! Wasn’t he the one who cried over and pleaded for me to come and save his ass!

“Give me the price we agreed upon then,” I pointed at the mega gate before adding, “three thousand Selvagiters, in their peak condition please.”

“A… Alright,” this time he couldn’t refute my request. He walked down, and I watched him walking away towards his mega gate.

That bastard! Alright then… I would use this shameful act of his as an excuse for my deal with Wryly.

[Get ready to move to the city] I sent Wryly this brief message.

[Has the fight occurred yet?]

[He is running south. The angles warned him]

[F*ck those angels!] he cursed and I could only smile while closing the chat with him and opened another one.

[Stop what you are doing and head to north]

I sent this message not only to the jumper, but to the rest of my team as well.

[What happened?]

[What’s going on?]

[A big fight?]

[Whom shall I bring with me?]

I got all kinds of questions from everyone, yet the jumper’s question was different as usual.

[Where at north exactly? Jersey city?]

That dude didn’t waste his time asking about the reason, but asked for the location to gather up. I looked at the map again, made few calculations before sending a message to all:

[The illusionist archlord is leading a grand army of three millions. Bring everything you can, even those humans training in camps. It’s time to make them taste blood. We’ll gather up at Elizabeth city]

[Alright]

[Cool!]

[I’ll be there]

All sent messages of agreement, yet the jumper sent a different one as usual.

[My boys have already tasted blood. Just wait to see how strong they became]

That dude… He never missed a chance to boost up, especially in front of me!

Alright, anyway whatever he got was already mine. If he didn’t show such a difference in using his troops, then how come he would be a jumper?

[Babe, go back to New York city and tighten the defences there] as I finished gathering up my scattered forces, I had one last thing left to do.

[Go back? I’m far away from Jersey city by now] she sent me such a surprising message. Something fell deep into my heart when I read her message as I got what she meant.

Yet I sent it to her asking, while hoping that my guess would be wrong.

[Where are you now?]

[With the forces ambushing the incoming enemies… Why?]

Damn! I couldn’t feel any good at this moment, [Go back now, go as fast as far as you can]

[What happened?]

I told her a brief summary of what was coming in her direction.

[F*ck! I’ll leave now! Where should I go?]

As she was already out in the open, it was futile to send her to Jersey city or New York. [Head to Elizabeth city, we’ll gather up there]

[Shouldn’t we surround that army in between Jersey, Newark, Bloomfield, and Paterson cities?]

I got what she wanted to say here. In fact I also thought about this first when I looked up at the map.

If only that fool, Fang, told me once I arrived here about his loss of spies, I’d have adopted that plan for sure.

Trapping the enemy inside such an open place and preventing him from gaining foot into any other city would be a good thing for us. Adding to that the dagger attack coming from Wryly at the north, and the imminent fall of Hackensack city with it, then this trap would be really tight.

But I couldn’t do that for now. I lost my slim window to do that thanks to the late timing of Fang. information if not given at its right moment would render its value useless regardless of anything else. Just like here.

[Just head to Elizabeth city] I sent over without explaining any of this to her.

[But more cities will fall this way!]

[We will regain them again] I didn’t mind losing three cities for now. After I get rid of that army, I’d go back and recapture them.
