I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 682 Leaving The Capital To Lucias

The army coming from the north wouldn’t wait all that time. They’d arrive in less than three hours.

[Retreat slowly] I sent this before doing anything else to all the four generals at the Hector continent, [Don’t rush it. I need you to buy me six hours at least]

[At least!]

[Damn it! I know you are unreliable!]

[Ok, I’ll do my best]

[Don’t worry, I know how to handle my family]

The four responded, and I totally ignored the two jerks’ messages. As for the other two girls, I just sent my request to play it safe as far as possible.

“Hey, go all out, destroy all the portals in ten minutes!”

I held out my horn next, shouted with my loudest voice at all the forces under my leadership in the region.

There were few scattered portals left. Before getting such bad news, I let my boys play while I kept increasing the size of my forces using my technique.

But right now it wasn’t the time to do that.

If there was a solution to save the day, then it would be only by moving my forces forward to meet the northern army before coming here.

And that would come at the cost of leaving the capital with little forces. Like this I’d delay the enemy advancing speed, decrease their numbers, and even add more forces to mine.

When Isac and her boys would take over the defences here, I’d move out and help the eastern battle.

As for the debuff effect, I wasn’t worried. With the help of my sturdy defences and big shield, nothing bad would happen here.

And if it did, I’d simply jump over here and start rescuing the capital if it got breached.

So during these ten minutes, I started roaming the capital surroundings, saving more bookmarks at different locations.

I made sure to store up enough to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

My boys had only to press forward to crush the remaining portals. In less than ten minutes, the entire place ushered under such weird silence.

My forces stood in place motionless, as if they were waiting for more enemies to arrive and kill.

The size of the controlled forces in the end reached a staggering ten million mark and even went beyond it.

However, covering up such a massive stretch of land, they seemed to not be even enough to cover the entire place alongside my private army.

“I shouldn’t leave the capital with weak forces,” I thought while considering whom to leave behind.

They should be led by someone who was capable of stopping any attack. They should be fierce, and have the ability to kill ground, aquatic, and aerial enemies.

The merge was past its half point by five to six hours right now. I needed to wait for less than half a day for it to finish.

The quaking started to come in such long intervals. The colourful batches covering the ground kept shining from time to time, seemingly as if they were responding to some sort of energy pulsations.

The hole in the ground shrank up now and was less than five metres in radius. I previously thought it would reach one metre radius at the end.

But this seemed to be not the case. It looked like this hole was going to vanish before the end.

So I memorised the spot of it, even saved a bookmark of it, before going to look for Lucias.

“You will lead half of your soulers and two million monsters in defending the capital,” as he went up to meet me, I started to speak about my plan.

It was a simple plan. I’d leave behind with him enough ground forces to secure the capital against any brutal attack.

Also I decided to leave dozens of fallen gods, a few hundreds of dragons and flying monsters.

“… There is a general of mine coming up with her army. She is called Isac, a Selvator race young man, leading a big army of humans.”

“I got it, lord,” Lucias didn’t comment on my arrangement or taking up half of his forces away, “but are you going to be alright with such force?”

“Do you think I’m this week?” I shortly laughed before adding, “you will be stationed here until that army arrives. Then we will head together towards another continent, where we will have another brutal fight.”

“We love brutal fights! It’s where we feel like home.”

For a moment there, he gave me the impression of Wryly. Both races were warmongers, but I got why he thought like that.

During the past fight, he used his deadly breaths from time to time. It seemed he could use it only once per few hours. Yet each time he did, a million enemies would fall without any resistance.

He was quite fierce indeed! And during this fight, it seemed he ate lots of souls to feel already satisfied.

Even if he needed souls from me, I had tons of them right now. From this war alone, I was this close from reaching the needed quota for my debt.

Killing monsters gives me souls like killing any race. And I killed tons of them! My forces did the same, and were still doing.

So crossing the one hundred million mark was going to be achieved a long time before this war would see its final curtain closed down.

“Go now, scatter your forces around, and use those flying girls on the back of dragons as your eyes to spot any incoming enemies.”

“I’ll heed by your orders, lord,” since he came back from the training session in another world of mine and Lucias seemed more respectful towards me.

Of course after seeing me in action during this war, his respect grew to veneration and bits of caution as well, there might be little fear as well.

As I watched him select his forces, I ordered the rest to move out alongside my selected warriors, fallen gods, dragons, and other monsters.
