I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Hye knew the Selvators were the ones behind leaking such intel, and they wouldn't do it without good reason. "They seem to plan everything based on that battle, and so I need to put that place into my consideration…"

Hye wasn't looking at the spot itself, but at the places around where the hostile forces would be stationed at. He could tell the Selvators wanted to keep everyone busy fighting while they'd calmly surround them. And so, he started to look for good places to hide, places that could help them entrap and kill lots of fleets without losing much.

"If they selected this spot, it means there must be more perks for it than other places…" he started to study the grand map of that proclaimed place of the grand battle. He was looking for any weird places, anything that could pose a threat for any fleet in space.

And as he was looking, he didn't spend much time before spotting many places that matched what he was looking for.

What was special about that part of the universe was the presence of many asteroid belts. When he looked at the sector having the proclaimed position of the battle, he couldn't help but notice the many little dark arcs drawn on maps.

Hye magnified these lines to find out each was a huge area of asteroids, gathered and stationed without movement. "Interesting," what was far more interesting was the fact that such belts were scattered around the nearby sectors as well.

Seeing all these asteroids, and recalling how spaceships and fleets tended to avoid such regions, Hye couldn't help but evilly grin.

"You must be hiding there, right?" Hye instantly sent the orders to his warriors, letting them scatter and go to these belts to check them out.

"Luckily these asteroids will provide a good cover for my ships, as they provide coverage for the Selvators," Hye muttered while feeling the enemy advantage was also a help for him.

Yet for his ships to go and reach such belts they'd take a couple of days at least, up to a week or more. Hye didn't intend to attack all places the enemy hid at, and just wanted to draw a rough map for their arrangement.

He thought about this matter seriously and could imagine two types of formations the enemy would have. They'd scatter their fleets to generally surround the other races' fleets. Or they could scatter their fleets in the belts close to the battle, or even in the middle of it, to help in killing the busy enemies and taking them off guard.

"If they want to kill everyone, then they'd just surround the battle and let them kill each other before stepping in. However…"

Hye knew their main goal wasn't the races' fleets, but the Toranks cargo. They wanted to distract the Toranks, and then sneakily steal the cargo.

"That means they must have fleets in the middle of the battle. That also explains why they leaked the location of the battle a long time ago…"

The more he thought about it, the more Hye felt how complicated this plan was. It felt like the Selvators planned all this for a long time, taking this matter far more seriously than he'd expected before.

He didn't want to just make it hard for them to execute their plans, but he wanted to get what was in that caravan. And to do so, he needed to infiltrate deeper into the upcoming bloody battle and secure a way out from it on top of that!

"I didn't intend to do that at all," when he realised how hard his task was going to be, he couldn't help but sigh, "it seems my effort to not attach myself to any of that is pointless…"

He thought it was going to be safe to come here and let the pirate king and the nymph lady do the job. He thought he just needed to stay on the sidelines and not interfere until necessary. But all of that changed.

He must get into the battle himself. The pirate fleet was run by the warriors he gave to the other two, but they wouldn't be enough to do the mission now.

The only person able to turn tables around the Selvators was only him. He could infiltrate alone, use his warriors to hijack many ships and form fleets even in the middle of any raging battle.

He was the only one able to attack a fleet alone and come out not only victorious, but with tons of loot.

"Shall I contact them…" as he decided to go personally into the middle of such a hectic battle, he knew his identity would be leaked. He wasn't a top figure in the universe yet, but he was sure the races he came in touch with before would recognise him, including the Toranks.

Even if the Toranks made a hostile move against him, Hye still didn't want to directly confront them as his enemies.

"It's better to not say anything," he dropped the idea of contacting them and telling them about his presence here, "let this be a little surprise for them. Who knows, perhaps that caravan has something they highly value and will make things easier later on for me…"

He didn't know what was in the caravan yet, but if it was something he couldn't use or wasn't helpful, he'd better use it in negotiation with the Toranks.

They stood in front of his path already, and he wanted to regain the strongest ally if possible. And now he found a good way to do it.

"It's more a relief to do it in public in such a way," he felt more confident about exposing his identity in that battle. And starting from there he began to plan things properly built on that.

He removed the mask first thing, then started to trail the warriors and ships he sent over. At the same time, he had a big map in front of him, which he placed the paths of his scouts on.
