I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1695  The Start Of The War

Hye learned in detail about the grand layout of not only the worldʼs armies but also the Hescos. He received maps, detailing everything about the space high above, and got even the prearranged plans about the moves of the armies on both sides in the middle of the war.

There were lots of scenarios generals on both sides devised and prepared counters for. He studied everything he got from Smiggy and learned much of battle tactics in the universe.

To win a war, one had to not only crush the enemy to do it. After war losses were something that any army should be quite aware of and attentive towards. According to what he learned, the most dangerous moment of all would be when armies would lose a lot, ending up being an easy target for opportunistic forces.

Hye instantly recalled the Toranks and their forces amassed around this zone. He thought they were here just to wait for the right moment to intervene, or to get the right deal from this worldʼs merchants. But that wasnʼt the case.

They were acting like tigers hiding in the mountain, waiting for the right moment to sweep everything and crush everyone, ending up reaping a great cake without losing that much.

He envied such great force to enjoy such reaps without the need to do anything in return. Taking serious note of this, he now was more eager to build a grand force of spaceships than ever before.

He also got to know why these formidable forces treated spaceships as one of the most important secrets they got, refusing to share any with anyone, even if it was an ally like Hyeʼs case.

They werenʼt just acting stingy, but they had to place lots of spaceships on standby, waiting for any golden chance like this.

He now was sure the end of this war wasnʼt set in stone. Even if one side won the war, the forces waiting in the shadows like the Toranks and others would start a brutal attack. The final winner wouldnʼt be settled until all the forces lost big, all except for one.

Hye realised how hard it was to win a war in the universe. Back in the apocalypse, he was safe when attacking any place or force. The apocalypse might be considered a big prison, but it had its perks as well.

Six months passed fast, and in one morning, he received a simple and short message from Smiggy: [Itʼs happening!]

”Get up!” Hye disturbed the lazy nymph lady from her sleep with his elbow, making the latter jump and jolt awake, ”the war is on!”

”At such an early hour in the morning?” her eyes were clouded with laziness and sleep. She took a wide look around, and looked at the early rays of the sun shining over this world, ”canʼt they wait until noon or something? I want to sleep…”

”Get up!” Hye dragged her by the arm, stopping her attempt to fall into the bed again, ”you need a cold shower to wake up.”

He carried her all the way to the bathroom, where he opened the cold water and let it shower her without listening to her pleas. As she finally began to wake up under the coldness and refreshment of the water falling over her head, he returned back to the bedroom and started to check any news on the local news network of this world.

He already joined this channel a few months ago out of boredom. There wasnʼt anything of value out there, but if war started, he knew heʼd find news.

But he didnʼt find any. The news was normal, and the broadcast was just speaking about normal and boring stuff.

”Then itʼs still a secret,” he knew the leaders of this world decided to not show any news about what was going on up there, ”if so, then Iʼd expect tight security over the routes leading to outer space…”

He already went out and scouted the ways to go to space. There were many formal pathways leading to outer space, and he already had a detailed map of such paths in the area he was living in.

But now it seemed itʼd be difficult to go up there and join the war. As he realised this, his thoughts drifted towards the right person to ask if he wanted to go out without getting caught or noticed, Smiggy.

[I believe you expect more bones from me, right?] he sent this message over, and the response he got was filled with Smiggy laughs at first.

[Sorry but if you need anything from me, you shall pay with bones, hahahahaha!] The two got to understand each other quite perfectly during the past few months. Smiggy wasnʼt like little Silvy, wasnʼt always busy or facing trouble to help him.

Smiggy was the source of trouble to others and actually, loved to spread chaos all over the places he visited.

He was also filled with lots of stories about his past adventures. Whenever Hye spoke with him about his past, Smiggy would brag about many things, making Hye unable to decide if even half was true or not.

[Just tell me how much it will cost, and how will I get up there]

[You do know you are crazy? I know many will join this war, but this wonʼt be anytime soon. Just wait, wait like the rest of us, wait for a couple of months before the two sides lose big…]

Smiggy kept raining him down with advice, not to mention these stemmed up from his good and kind heart and his rich battle experience.

[Just stop it! You know Iʼll go up there one way or another]

[Itʼs your life man! But donʼt expect things there to be easy for just the two of you. If you want, I can lend you mercenaries if you want]

[No thanks] Hye would have accepted such an offer the first time he met with Smiggy. But after all these months, he gained tons of crystals, planted endless trees, and reaped high-grade crystals from his heart.
