I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1040 Securing More Land

From the first sight, I could tell that my small army here of few tens of thousands was having fun against the few thousands defending this region.

They managed to push the enemy all the way back to the centre of the lord’s territory. This place was almost a couple hundred miles in radius, pretty vast in my opinion, not that far from mine.

And that meant this lord was one who kept devouring smaller lords, and what he was doing right now wasn’t new.

“Got you!” In just a few minutes of looking, I found the lord fighting on the ground, on foot, without any ride or special monsters to his side.

It seemed he sent most of his trusted and elite forces to my land. He never expected that the grand army formed by fifteen different lords would be stopped by me.

And then I’d come and hit him back. In such times, anyone in my position would get scared and would hurry back to their land.

But that wasn’t the case. I wasn’t the typical kind of lord, at least I never leant to such passive means to defend myself.

When getting attacked, I’d prefer to exchange blows with another. The winner would be the last man standing, and this was my special way in dealing with all my enemies.

“You… You are their lord… How…”

“Just die and ask these questions to your forces in hell,” I answered him with such a yell, and my glaive descended fast over his head, cleaving his body into two halves without any surprise.

“Stop!” Once I killed him, I shouted to stop my forces from fighting. It was meaningless now, “take everyone and go, go towards the next territory. Keep moving from one to another until you clear everything… Devour!”

I instantly performed the devouring technique. I was getting pretty damn good at this. And after devouring this land and watching all the buildings collapse, I went to the dead lord, took his bones and with it access to his cube.

I still didn’t know what the real value of these cubes was. Yet something told me I’d regret it if I didn’t take all the cubes.

Once taken, I jumped back to my chariot, and headed fast towards the next territory.

In less than half an hour, I managed to add seven lands to mine. My luck was good as I reached a cluster of closely related territories, with a small distance apart.

These idiots retreated all the way back to the centre of their lands under my forces’ pursuit. If I was them, I’d instead aim to gather up with each other, and use one land as an anchor and make a last stand there.

However it seemed the sudden fall of my forces over their heads, attacking all the territories at the same time paralyzed these lords and made them commit such silly mistakes.

In times of peace, people might look wise and great. But watch them at times of distress, that was the perfect time to know the real calibre of each dude.

And that was why I placed Lang in such a special place. He showed such rare calmness in the middle of disaster, making him quite valuable to me.

But all this changed after cleaning this cluster.

I managed to claim nine lands before finally arriving at the tenth. And there I spotted something new.

“Oh, so they have many forces left?” When I arrived at the tenth land, I spotted a large army fighting against mine.

The situation looked equal. I made sure to send all the forces from the lands I controlled, in addition to the ones I already gained by killing their lords.

All of them should have gathered here. But in front of me, it seemed like my forces lacked any means to penetrate through the densely packed enemy.

“Did they target the wrong land or what?” From the look of things, the lord here seemed to keep most if not all of his forces by his side.

I doubted that my forces got the wrong land attacked. But when I checked the map provided by Kong, I found that this wasn’t the case.

“So… Either that middle aged man screwed up, or that lord summoned more forces from his world to come here…” I got that the former might not be truly the case, and the latter must be the real reason behind all this.

Kong didn’t provide any wrong info till now. And the second explanation was something logical and explained why such large forces were here.

And when I closely inspected the current situation, I got more clues about the second possibility.

I noticed that the forces fighting mine weren’t that strong. There were many, almost close to a million already, but they weren’t that strong.

And what stood between my forces and taking this place down was the constant influx of new forces from the direction of this land’s centre.

So it was clear to me in less than ten minutes. This lord was trying to burn out all of his forces to stop and buy more time for him.

He was biding his time and waiting for the grand and much stronger army of his to come here.

But there was something he never noticed in the middle of such a stressful situation he was in. if he was able to summon all these forces here, then that meant most of his strong forces were gone by now.

Otherwise he’d be still limited by the number of forces he’d summon.

So despite looking in such a good position, he was in fact drawing closer to his demise. He was just buying out his time here, nothing more.

“No time to waste on such a jerk,” I knew that such a battle’s fate was sealed, but it’d take a long time to reach such an end.

So instead of wasting my time here with such dead meat, I decided to go and check over the remaining lords.
