I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1227 [Bonus ] Exploring The First Layer

After checking the top of the tower, I knew placing a few weapons here would be great. I didnʼt do anything yet, and simply kept checking more towers to be sure they were the same.

And thatʼs what I found. All the towers were built like a copy of each other. When I looked at the grand design of these towers from my chariot again, I knew they werenʼt placed here out of coincidence.

There was a grand circular wall inside, separating these towers from the inside. If the Hescos wanted to better defend this place, then itʼd make sense to build the wall outside, circling the towers inside.

The entire wall inside had only one main gate to it. The wall was almost one hundred metres in height, with another hundred away from the manmade rooftop of this place.

The gate was fifty metres in width, not allowing too many forces to pass through it. It might serve as a challenging point to any invading forces, but itʼd also prove difficult for any trapped forces inside to pass outside and escape.

The doors were wide open as if the Hescos were inviting me inside. I looked at this gate for a brief moment, checked the entire walls around before deciding to bring all of this down.

Leaving such strong walls and narrow gates behind might serve quite well to my forces at the upcoming battle with Hescos. But at the same time, it was dangerous to let them stand intact with the possibility of the Hescos crushing down my forces here at the first moments of war.

It was a double edged weapon, and I decided to bring it down.

”Strengthen yourselves first and then take this entire thing down,” I didnʼt need to summon anyone as I got tons of souls from this battle.

I simply created a thousand fallen gods, gave them enough stat and energy crystals to consume, before giving them the order to tear the walls down.

I didnʼt just point towards a single wall, but at all the circular regions around. ”Take the walls down, donʼt touch the towers for now,” even if I wanted to remove such a risky factor, I wouldnʼt remove all the defences.

If I did, then itʼd do more harm to my forces than good. I decided to leave the towers behind and demolish the walls for now.

As I left my fallen gods behind to execute such an order, I started to walk inside the underground fort.

The fort was slightly dark inside, but that didnʼt stop me from seeing everything. I saw the fort inner zone to be built as a simple open space, without any traps inside.

The only thing that was inside was for many towers, similar to the ones outside, to be present there. They seemed to form lines of defence, all the way towards the inner tunnel.

The tunnel was vast and spacious, almost equal to the size of the opening of this underground fort.

Seeing this tunnel made me sure about my earlier guesses. The Hescos would use these tunnels to send tons of forces in a short time. As for defending such vast space, it was a challenging and hard feat to achieve.

I didnʼt stop in my tracks and kept moving inside that tunnel. After walking inside for half an hour, the place looked quite dark and gloomy.

Air current was coming fast and fierce down here, and it felt quite damp and cold. I walked in a straight line, but for a reason I felt like I was going up.

”This is enough,” after I realised how this was made, I decided to stop walking through the tunnel any further.

I didnʼt want to end up appearing at the upper complicated defences on top of the ground. I knew whoever dug this place made sure to have a stable ground and angle, making anyone feel like they were walking over a flat ground.

But with my speed, walking for half an hour meant covering up tens of miles. The only explanation for this was for the tunnels to be built in a circular way around this entire fort, making it possible for such tunnels to rise up without changing much of the angle.

If that was true, then things would turn out to be quite awesome! That meant not only this tunnel was in this region, but almost all the other tunnels as well.

”Itʼs a shame I couldnʼt use that portal to send forces back, or else Iʼd have sent envoys to look for digging machines and bring them all the way here,” I shook my head, not wanting to use my strongest and scariest trump card for the time being.

I had a way to solve this problem for sure, but I decided to use this at the most suitable moment, which wasnʼt indeed now.

As I stopped walking, I didnʼt hurry and did anything. I first listened and stood there quietly and patiently for long minutes.

Yet after all this wait, I didnʼt feel like anyone was watching me or coming here.

This meant the Hescos were so confident about their plan. Or perhaps they feared to leave anyone behind just in case my forces sent patrols inside these tunnels.

If their forces got discovered hidden here, then theyʼd risk exposing the importance of these tunnels to me.

Either way, I was now sure there was no one around or coming to disturb my plans.

And so I started to make the next move.

”Take all these crystals and be stronger,” I took out tons of warriors from my inventory, and left behind enough stat crystals for their use, ”donʼt leave this tunnel, keep yourselves hidden. If anyone comes, kill him without asking questions.”

I started to retreat all the way back to the opening of this tunnel. I kept leaving warriors and stat crystals behind till the vast space inside the underground fort.

Then I stopped what I was doing, fearing anyone of the Hescos coming at the opening from outside and seeing these warriors by accident.
