I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 683 Forming A Hit Force

I left the fallen gods at my chariot, while few were scattered amidst the big army marching forward at a fast pace.

We had to meet up with the enemy as fast as we could. The further away we fought, the better.

I just wanted to simply jump over and start hitting those bastards. But the mix of Hectors and Dragons made me wary of this army.

The two races were quite rich in their items. They spent tons of money acquiring scary things and strong forces.

So it would be a bit risky to go out there all alone. I had to first let my boys here assess and test this army, see how fierce and dangerous it was.

Also it would be much easier for me to handle these enemies from behind the frontline. Using my technique to control them from far behind was the most effective way to handle such dangerous folks.

In addition to all that, this was quite a fierce army of races. They weren’t those weak monsters or mercenaries. So it would be a waste to just let them off the hook.

I had to force them to sign loyalty contracts, serving me till the end of their lives. I was sure that each single one of them was a well trained soldier, and might be an elite as well.

As the grand army moved out, I started asking my scout girls and scattered teams about the current situation of this army.

[They are still crossing the gulf]

[They are slowly moving inside our lands, lord]

[They are controlling cities and towns as they march]

[They are bringing more forces using the portals in each city and town]

More info was pouring at me during the next half an hour. It seemed this army wasn’t just trying to get to the capital so fast.

It was strengthening its hold over that northern part of my kingdom. Controlling cities and towns while using the portals there to gush lots of forces here? That might seem as if they were preparing for a long attrition defensive battle.

I thought they were coming to hit my capital first. If they acted like this, then it meant only one thing.

“They aren’t the main attacking force here… Will it be that son of b*tch? Or they just want to make me busy, to not go and save my boys at the Hector continent?”

I didn’t know what they were truly scheming here, but there was some sort of a trick out there.

Going to get entangled in such a battle of attrition? Did they think I left the capital unprotected? Or did they think they could stop me from leaving if I wanted?

Humph! Brute force was the answer to any doubts indeed. I didn’t decrease the advancement speed of my forces, and even asked them to push forward much faster.

[Scatter around, see if there is anything happening at the eastern coast] I sent this order to many teams, the ones who weren’t contacting me right now.

They were the ones away from the northern regions. At this moment, I wanted eyes all over that damn coast.

If there was a race that could be described as fierce and unpredictable, it would be Hectors without doubt.

Even Dragons had their mindset focused on arrogance and overconfidence.

But Hector… They came here with lots of paragons and shitloads of other lower ranks.

They brought many continents here, making Earth look like their backyard or something.

I had this hunch that the blow this time wouldn’t come from the bastard enemy of mine. This enemy was replaced by a new clone. And I didn’t know if he’d decide to come and fight in such a losing war or just stay back and watch the show.

If he had the same mindset of the old clones, then he would end up watching from the corner. This war was already lost. If he tried to intervene, he would risk losing his life for another clone.

The only enemy aside from him with abilities to shift the tide of this war would be Hectors.

They had only to cut any path of reinforcements to go to their lands. This way, they’d end up securing their lands again by exterminating my forces out there.

Not to mention this would deal a big blow to me.

So they were the ones to move out. And if I was one of their leaders, I’d place great importance over taking down that bridge linking my kingdom to their continent.

Crushing this down would cut the path over any reinforcements and would also cut the path of retreat to the forces inside their continent.

It was a single move that would bring much results.

That was why I asked many teams to go out there and keep watching the ocean. Once spotted, I’d move out and exterminate any army of them.

I kept moving forward while receiving more updates from the various battlefields.

The enemy kept hitting the frontline of mine fiercely so far. Monsters and mercenaries weren’t part of the quest, so they didn’t show any remarkable upgrades at all.

Unlike the situation at the Hector continent, the frontline at West was doing much better.

As for East, the four generals of mine kept retreating while suffering big losses. The boost the enemy got forced them on the back foot, letting them all suffer without exception.

However they were following my instructions, trying to retreat slowly while buying as much time as possible.

Isac and her army needed three more hours to arrive. She sent early troops to arrive at the capital from nearby regions. They would arrive first in one hour or less.

The situation at the capital grew eerily calmer, without any enemy spotted anywhere.

[Go and find the general with orange fire and fog] I sent this message to one of the teams patrolling the area around the capital, [Tell him to prepare a small hit force of his elites, ready to move out whenever any enemy is spotted at the eastern bridge]

[Will do it now, lord!]

Even if I planned to go and stop any army hitting that bridge, I had to also prepare a backup plan. Just in case things went wrong at my side, Lucias would be ready to intervene and help.
