I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 693 I Have To Prepare For The Future

Many messages came, mostly asking about what this flag was for. Only two messages came with such rude comments, and I totally ignored all.

[This is the flag symbolising our kingdom. From now on, our Kingdom of Heaven will stand tall and mighty, above all races in the apocalypse]

I sent this as a declaration of the true birth of our kingdom. And next, I was showered with congratulatory messages from all.

I closed all of these messages, looked at that bright flag shining in the middle of all the dimness here.

It was eye catchy, so damn eye catchy to make me unwilling to take it away.

“I have to store it,” I realised what Sith meant when he said that the only way to take down a kingdom was by killing its founder.

As I could store the flag in my inventory, only if I willingly took it out and handed it over to anyone, no one would be able to touch my kingdom!

The kingdom wasn’t in its lands or people, but in its symbol and flag. I went towards it and stood there, watching the wildly dancing flag in the middle of my capital.

It looked magnificent! If not for the big risk of losing my kingdom if left here, I’d not have thought about taking it away.

“Come inside,” reluctantly, I extended my right arm and touched it. I thought it would give me the feeling of holding an ember in hand, but it felt so soft and cosy.

And once I touched it, it vanished, got inside my inventory.

I opened the inventory and checked this flag there. It didn’t stop moving as if there were wild wind inside my inventory.

“Keep your head high up, I promise you will flutter over endless lands in many worlds in the future.”

I closed my inventory to be welcomed with a voice in my head.

[Good job! You finally merged the hearts together with your kingdom]

“It’s thanks to your guidance,” he was a Sith, and he seemed to be busy with something.

[Anyway, I have to go and check over something else. Always remember, the lands of your kingdom will always be protected by your flag. Any land you want to add to your kingdom you have to control a city first, then insert the flag anywhere in it. The bonus effect will weaken at the newly acquired lands. As for the old ones, they will enjoy strong blessing from your flag]

“Thanks,” I got that he was speaking about the difference between the newly acquired lands and the old ones I got before the merge ended.

I had lots of questions to ask, but I felt he wouldn’t answer so I didn’t ask.

For example, what were the benefits of the flag and hearts over my people? He told me that I could add any land I wanted by using the flag over it.

So what about my second Earth world then? Was it part of my kingdom now? Or would it be considered as newly acquired lands?

I had to go there and see how things worked.

But before doing any of that, I had to close all the loose ends in this war.

[Strengthen the borders and leave part of your forces protecting it] I started working over placing the final touches over this war.

I sent this message to the four at the western frontline. They did a great job in pushing the kingdom western borders as far as they could.

And now it wasn’t time for keeping the fight at such a front. Before retreating back here, they had to strengthen the border out there and leave enough forces to defend this advanced line.

Before this war, my kingdom spanned from Michigan up north, passing through Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

We previously controlled all the way towards Texas in the south, but these regions were lost thanks to the mighty tsunami and flood that came from the ocean and the retreat of the jumper with his forces without leaving anyone behind.

Fang failed to come and help at that time, and the regions that he controlled stopped at Georgia.

But right now, the new map looks much different.

The western border started from Wisconsin, going through the mid zones of Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas before ending south at Mississippi.

I believe the total area got doubled, and if adding the newly controlled lands at the eastern Hector continent, this might be tripled.

But the eastern battle wasn’t that calm yet. The Hectors got the fierce hammer this time, yet this was still their land.

Even if they lost a lot, this wasn’t the end of their resistance. In fact they showed signs of recovering, as new forces started to arrive and join the fight.

If things kept going this way, then this zone would turn into a replica of the bloody long war up north that I read about in many records.

Such a war wasn’t easy to handle. A long time war against such a fierce enemy would be draining on everything.

And my biggest fear would be in its side effects on the future growth of my kingdom.

The only way out was either by trying to crush the Hectors fast before they’d amass their forces again and arrange their defences.

Or by trying to sign a peace treaty with them.

Forcing them to sign such a treaty would be tricky and challenging. I had to show them that I got the upper hand, and must also find more hot points to pressure, forcing them to seek an end to the war here to mind other hot zones.

“Hmm… I hope those Berserkers are doing something nice up there,” the only hot zone I was aware of right now was the northern epic war.

The Hectors tried to reach out for a peace treaty with them, to free themselves from the northern battlefield and focus over the fight here.

They did that because of the fear of my threat. And the only way to force them to sign such a treaty with me would be the northern battle.
