I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 286 Things Are Really Complicated Inside

“What about me?” Hilary asked, while moving her fingers across my hair.

“You’ll act as the main leader of our forces here,” I gave her a burning look that was this close from burning her clothes, “once I’m ready, I’ll let you know.”

“I’ll wait for your order, my darling,” she got closer to my face, slowly and affectionately painting a warm kiss over my cheek.

Just thinking about this made me wonder how things turned out to be this way between the two of us.

It all started by a simple idea of teasing that spearhead and the jumper behind him. And now? It ended up by my burning desire to devour her.

“Ahem… What about the contracts?”

Mouven cleared his throat, feeling a little awkward by seeing the two of us. I didn’t look away from the mesmerising eyes of Hilary while saying:

“I’ll prepare enough for all of your eighty thousand. You can fetch people to bring them to your people in ten minutes from this place.”

“All of them?!” the remaining girl exclaimed in surprise.

“All of the eighty thousands?” Mouven asked, just to make sure he got it right.

“You must have a way to contact them, right?” I wasn’t asking, but just stating the obvious. After all, if they didn’t have such a means of communication, then how would they even know all this info about the situation inside?

They spoke like they were already living there. “So you’ll take all the contracts and spread them over your people. By the time I’m in there, if anyone doesn’t sign the contract in or out, he or she will die. This is my promise to all of you.”

I turned slowly and moved my eyes between the four of them. They had to know that I hated wasting my breaths and time over things like these.

If someone wanted to die, I’d do nothing but help them fulfil their wish.

“Now go,” I gently pushed Hilary away. This chick… her body was so soft, much softer than the best cushion I ever sat on.

“Take care, baby,” she left after paying a long visit to my lips with hers. As I watched the five of them disembarking, surrounded with the group of my warriors I left behind to clear the debris, I finally got the messages in response to my previously asked questions.

The first to answer was Wryly. That dude was very kind and more straightforward than that Selvator; Fang.

[I have no control over the Berserkers inside the three cities]

His response was, after all, unexpected. I didn’t get what he meant by that. [Do you mean they are rebelling against you?] This was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Yet what he said next made me realise how things were more complicated than I initially thought.

[No, they belong to another archlord of my race. That bastard saw it as a chance to invade my territory, sending his forces when mine are pushed back by those Hectors]

I couldn’t believe it! At such a moment, even inside the same species people tended to extort others for benefits. It seemed such a nature wasn’t only exclusive to the human race after all.

Just before I’d say anything back to him, I got roughly the same answer from Fang. Yet that dude was much more infuriated than Fang. After all, he wanted to be promoted after the upcoming war.

But now he was threatened to lose his seat as an archlord if he failed to suppress that ambitious brother of his.

Besides he blamed me for this messy situation, stating clearly that I had to step in and help him or else our deals would be broken.

[Bro, just for the record I’m stepping to help you as this also suits my plans. But if you thought for a second I’ll be threatened by our deals then you’ll be the one destined to feel bitter at the end]

Despite my need for his help at the upcoming battles, that bastard had to realise his stance here. He wasn’t by any means superior to me. Not now when he was an archlord, not later when he would upgrade to become even a paragon!

If he thought for one second that I’d place more importance over our deals than the mutual relation between us then he’d be gravely mistaken. That if our relation was mutually balanced.

After all, I was seeing him as a mere subordinate to me, someone who I’d never see as my equal no matter how high he climbed!

He had to realise that without my help, without my presence and our relation, he wouldn’t have gotten anything at all. All his fame and success were created thanks to me, alone.

[Sorry bro, I didn’t mean anything like that] he had to take his time before answering me in this diplomatic way. Yet that dude wasn’t that trustworthy. I had to teach him a proper lesson, a small one to remind him of my importance and his real value without my presence.

Sigh! That dude desperately needed to learn from Wryly. That berserker was acting all modest, more appreciative for my help than Fang.

Anyway, I had a different situation than the one I initially thought before. The forces inside the city were really all hostile to each other.

It was best described as that Mouven said; total mess!

But even if the situation was such a mess inside, I had to go in and deal with it no matter what.

I looked at the distant shield while taking out all the contracts needed and signed them en masse. The amount was simply too much, yet the system helped me to sign them in batches, each was formed of one thousand contracts.

After finishing this, I simply threw them all on the ground before making my chariot fly towards the shield.

The only good thing here was the fact that none of these forces that came out from the shield had any way to stop my chariot. At least I could get to that shield without any problems.
