I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"Tons of these," he didn't stop smiling, like a little kid happy about a word of praise from his senior, "does lord want to use the mines now?"

"Sure," I got all the hot zones under my control, but this wasn't a permanent solution. With using the mines at these hot zones, the zombies out there weren't going to pose the same danger as before.

"Prepare different teams to teach my forces how to use these mines," I said and he simply nodded before going to his people and I watched him select many before coming back to me.

"Lord, we are ready."

"This soon?" I sized him up and down. I didn't ask him to select people to implant these mines underground. I wanted them to teach my warriors about the way to use these mines.

Using these mines now was a waste. Zombies were scary and they kept coming like endless waves. If I used the mines now, I wouldn't get much benefit to be honest.

But teaching my warriors the proper way to use these, then I could simply use my shielded safe zones and turn them into gigantic warehouses for these scary mines.

Whenever they'd be needed, my warriors could use them as they saw appropriate.

"Lord, I came prepared already for something like this," what he said made me nod in content. He seemed to be a capable guy. But first I had to see him in action, to make sure his claims were all correct and not just overestimating himself.

I opened portals and jumped with them over my scattered safe zones. The moment these couple of thousand people saw the horrifying scenes of zombies coming nonstop at my warriors, to be stopped by my shields, they seemed to grow scared.

I didn't speak or explain much to them. I simply took them around the hot zones, informed my warriors about the new task, before standing on the side and watching them teaching my warriors.

Unlike what I expected, the teaching process didn't last for a long time. Each time, only less than an hour was needed to teach everyone how to use the mines.

When I heard their explanation many times, I also got the ability to use the mines safely and soundly.

The mines weren't complicated weapons or something. They were big metallic balls, filled with explosive ores and triggering methods that depended on weight.

But to be sensitive to weight, they needed to be activated. I saw the small red button in the centre of these mines, and recalled the explanation Garry's people gave to activate these mines.

Pressing the button wasn't enough, as they needed to spray some sort of unique powder over the surface of the mines to make them sensitive to weight and get triggered easily with light steps.

The process of digging the ground and planting these mines was also something that needed quite the attention. Different types of weird powder needed to be scattered across the different layers of ground after putting the mines there.

I listened and examined the mines before sighing in admiration. The research department did a marvellous job indeed by inventing these little toys.

The tour didn't take more than a day. During this, I made sure to replenish the shields and made sure they were enough to stay there for a long time.

After that, I took everyone back and left them to handle everything. I looked at more of the new weapons invented by my research department, feeling a little sad about not having enough time for the department to make more of these weapons.

I checked with Isac and Lily, and nothing new developed luckily in this quest. The zombies stopped causing problems right now. And most of the kingdom was under total control of my forces.

Aside from the few hot zones I kept in bay, other parts were growing peaceful at last.

Without the risk of zombies attacking everyone from inside, the kingdom situation stabilised at last. But that wasn't the end of the trouble, not even close.

[Aside from our lands, huge amounts of zombies are now heading towards us] Isac sent in worry, [We are trying to stop them. But during the past few days, more and more zombies started to appear no matter how many we killed]

I was lost in thoughts for a moment before realising what the crux of this issue was. [There are dens matured already around us] this was the only possible explanation about such a weird situation.

[This...] Isac paused while Lily sent:

[Shall we send armies out to hunt them down?]

[Hunting down matured dens all over the continent? No, that's too much work with little return. And we won't be able to do it by the way]

I knew what Lily was thinking about. Trying to get rid of the source of the trouble was a good way of thinking. But realistically it was an impossible feat to do.

Even if we sent armies to just clear the dens around, used the zombie race to free the sleeping people inside, things wouldn't be that good in the end.

Such a move would be able to just buy us a few times, little actually. In the end, more zombies would be drawn to here, attacking my people, and wouldn't stop coming no matter what.

And when waiting all this time, my forces might grow dull. I needed to make them sharp and gain experience in dealing with the zombies.

Especially when considering the fact that with more waiting, much stronger zombies would be produced. Such issues had to be met with constant training of my forces, letting them know how to deal with these zombies through constant fighting.

[Then what should we do?] Lily asked, seemingly a little stubborn about leaving the zombie risk without proper handling.

I thought for a moment before I made up my mind, [We will send the free armies in the centre of kingdom outwards, reinforcing the armies at the border]

[It isn't enough]
