I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Hye knew this was going to work, but right now he didn't want to face such terrible forces. That was why he made sure Lucas would spread out his orders, and make sure his warriors would try their best to evade these enemies.

It was better to let them run away from here than force them to gather and attack him if he persisted in hunting them down.

"This is getting more interesting," he didn't find it more annoying than amusing and quite challenging.

He knew out there, at the outer battlefield, chances to meet such higher and stronger enemies would skyrocket. But it felt like the outer zone of that place was filled with weaker forces. And that was just great news for him.

As he had such a threat around, he raised his vigilance and kept an eye on everything developing around him. Luckily the forces of both sides decided to retreat, run away as fast as they could when they got the chance to.

Without harassing them, the path to their retreat was wide open for them. Hye kept watching everything happening while intervening with orders whenever needed.

His warriors kept moving and fighting, killing their enemies and claiming ships. Time passed slowly, and after two weeks, the entire sector was now under his control, and other sectors were under attack by his forces.

As the enemies got stopped at the edges, his warriors passed into other sectors and started a massacre there. Yet as the number of sectors increased, it was clear they were taking much longer time than he expected.

And by the time his forces cleared those sectors, taking two months of time, the thing he expected happened.

"They are sure fast runners, tsk!" The time he took to clear these sectors was enough for other ships and fleets to vanish from the entire region. Even Lucas said his warriors couldn't get a glimpse of anyone.

[Wrap everything up, collect the ships, and tell me when everything is over] he sent over to Lucas, before turning around, "I'll end up having tons of ships, enough to form more fleets. Not to mention the bones and other stuff I'll get from their inventories…"

He knew he'd gain too much from this, and still, it wasn't even close to what he should have gained if everyone stayed and fought back. Yet when he recalled the presence of stronger forces, he thought this was the best outcome he'd have.

"I believe they'll take weeks to collect everything," he knew he wasn't needed here anymore. And so he left his warriors to work on gathering everything around, then ordered the newly gained forces to follow him back towards his place.

He spent months out there, and so it was expected how much progress everyone made in his new territory. When he returned, he sent for Lily to give him a detailed report about everything.

"As if you never heard about what we did here," as she appeared in his main ship, she said while rolling her eyes, "you always kept asking about the new update…"

"I want to hear everything in detail," Hye paused, "aside from this, we gained new forces and tons of ships. So we need to discuss how we'll use this for better expansion and laying down a stronger foundation."

"Oh, how much?" her eyes shone brighter before adding, "You know that all of our friends and top generals took off with their fleets, to help…"

"They can have all the loot they gained," Hye said something big, making her blink twice before asking in doubt:

"Are you sick, my dear? What went wrong for you to act this way?" She even stretched her hand and checked his forehead, as if she was assessing his temperature or something.

"I'm good," he laughed, "can't I reward them? Besides, we need to grow our fleets and forces. The universe… It's not as easy as the apocalypse."

"We'll manage," she slowly and intimately caressed his hair and face, "we have you, we aren't worried."

"Oh, you make me want to take a bite off you right now," he looked at her while she beamed with a seductive smile. And yet, he controlled himself, and cleared his throat, before adding, "We need to spread the gained loot over others, we need to expand our forces."

"Without knowing how much?" she blinked, acting as if she was surprised by his tactic retreat. Then she leant over, placing her head over his chest, "Tell me, darling, how many ships did you get?"

"Ask how many fleets," he couldn't help but laugh, "I got too much to count, and my warriors are still gathering more loot as we speak."

"Oh…" she paused, finally acting serious, "this means we need to rearrange the entire structure of our military forces, add up more generals, and train more forces, right?"

"Don't complain again…"

"I have to, and I won't stop complaining…"

Hye guessed it right, she was about to complain of the extreme amount of work she had. And she kept complaining for an entire hour until he had to stop her by saying he'd let his warriors who had enough training over the ships to help as well.

"That's not a help! You already offered that!" she bellowed back, and yet this was the best thing he could give to her at the moment.

"That's the best thing we can do right now," he sighed, "we'll use the second Earth world to train more forces there. So stop complaining, and start gathering the names of capable generals to lead these new fleets."

"Ok," she finally stopped complaining, "but you need to promise to help as well!"

"I'll do my best, you know me," he softly painted a kiss over her lips, making her face turn red a little bit, "now, how about the teams sent to get those races around?"

"No progress," she softly sighed, "we had to call off everything. The reach of this war was way beyond my expectations…"
