I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 460 The Portals Are Getting Closed Up

What happened here gave me an insight about something. If these portals were controlled by someone, then I’d force him to close every single one of them.

And during doing this, I’d end up gaining a much larger force that would leave me invincible by the end of this quest.

As such I moved at my highest speed towards the east. Starting from this place, my territory expanded into every direction. But as I recalled, there were lots of towns and cities in the eastern region.

The plan to increase my monster army and close the portals started officially right now.

Moving around towards a nearby portal didn’t take much time. Also the monsters down below weren’t that slow. They just had a lag of ten minutes or so to arrive at my chariot after stopping at the next town or a city.

The only drawback here was the inability of me to take them into my inventory. Like this I had to scatter them around, and wouldn’t truly depend on their help if I ever needed them.

They would take much time to arrive at my location in any war. So if I didn’t prepare them beforehand, depending on their help would be pointless.

But securing the kingdom using their great numbers and ferocity was enough for me. At least I could now recall all the scattered forces from all the cities and towns, even at the frontline.

I started this quest accepting the loss of many parts of my kingdom. That wasn’t needed anymore. I could now exert full control over my kingdom without fearing or worrying about losing anything at all.

Each city and town I reached had brutal fights going on between the hostile monsters from one side, and my monsters and human forces from another.

But once I arrived, all this changed dramatically fast. Gradually I didn’t need more than ten to fifteen minutes to take full control over the entire city or town and its surroundings.

As for the portals, that bastard seemed to focus on my movements. He didn’t give me more than half an hour to control monsters before closing up the portals.

I realised he had to wait for half an hour to close any portal. As for risking to close all the nearby portals, that was something he seemed not to think about seriously yet.

If he did so, then gradually this quest would lose its meaning and threat over my kingdom. So he had to wait until I’d arrive at a town or a city before starting to close the portal there.

That gave me a great amount of monsters with each freed town or city. And with such fast control speed of my technique, I managed to cover up large spaces in a short time.

In less than ten hours, I managed to clear the entire towns and cities in Pennsylvania. Then I started to go north towards New York, then expanded towards the surrounding smaller states and lands.

The more I went north, the more brutal the fights became. It seemed whoever was controlling this started to accelerate his way of actions.

Instead of having a single portal at each town and city, it became normal for me to see three and even five portals at one place. That didn’t make the losses of my forces slightly bigger, but it also made me take slightly longer time in controlling monsters and clearing the area.

Instead of taking ten minutes, I started to take longer, even taking half an hour up to one hour at some places.

“Scatter,” that left me no option but to scatter my grand army of monsters around. The big human army following my chariot now paled in comparison to the seemingly endless army of monsters.

Instead of just making them follow me around like loyal dogs, it was better to scatter them around and act as vicious packs of wolves.

This helped a lot in accelerating the pace of controlling the lands, but it came at the price of losing a great part of the monsters I used to control and add to my forces.

However this also came with a good benefit. My monsters stopped growing stronger and fiercer in the last hours. After all, when they’d arrive, most of the fight would be over by my technique.

So scattering them around like this made them able to restore this advantage. They began to expand and became bigger, fiercer, and stronger.

The flying ones showed the highest rate of evolution. After all they were like predators with no equal. Next came the aquatic monsters, especially whenever we reached a town or a city with water surfaces like rivers and lakes.

The northern part of this continent seemed to be quite dense in such things. Many rivers and lakes appeared in almost every big city. That gave a great advantage for my aquatic monsters to evolve.

Gradually I started to grow numb about doing this. Repeatedly controlling monsters and forcing them to sign a loyalty contract with me became boring.

Yet I knew how important such a step was. Just in the past twenty hours, I managed to create a big army of monsters with different types to exceed thirty million so far.

Just scattering them around in an area of fifty up to one hundred miles left them crowded. The world started to be covered with these monsters. And that made me feel little satisfaction about what I was doing.

[What the hell are you doing exactly? I got many reports about weird things!]

Just as I was getting near Albany city, I got this message from Hilary.

[What? I’m busy right now so make it short]

[So you are really controlling those monsters? Is that for real?!]

[Who said I can’t?] I laughed, [I can do whatever I want, right?]

[That bastard… He must be now regretting coming at you, hahahaha!]

I knew she was talking about her nemesis and enemy. But I had to admit, there was no evidence that he was the one behind all this.

[Anyway, whoever is controlling these portals is now rushing to close them up]

[I heard, and that’s really weird]
