I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1971: An Unknown Fleet Approaches!

Hye wasnʼt mad; in fact, he was evilly and amusingly laughing at Moth. The latter fell directly into his trap and ended up getting nothing out of him. When he closed the message with Moth, Hye returned to his task right now, taking out tons of his ships, filling them with normal warriors.

He exhausted a great deal of his Soulers and Reapers so far, either by filling the initial ships he deployed earlier, or forming the grand armies back at the Hescosʼ homeland world. So he preferred to keep the remaining lots in his inventory, just in case.

Once he took out his grand fleet, the situation instantly changed. The Toranksʼ remaining ships to defend the God Weapon mirrors werenʼt even enough to stop them. And the enemy never thought of taking any more mirrors any more, fearing to lose more of them on Hyeʼs hands.

Seeing the grand fleet slowly moving and steadily approaching them drove real panic into the Toranks leaders. Instantly, they called back more than half of the fleet chasing the three hijacked mirror ships.

When that happened, Hyeʼs friends and generals could tell he was behind this change. So they pressed forward and attacked the remaining enemy ships, driving them back as well.

In the end, the Toranks lost three ships, couldnʼt even destroy them, and ended up cornered by a huge fleet from all directions. To make things worse, they didnʼt deploy any mirrors to use to destroy part of this huge fleet, or even create gaps and holes in their tight formation.

Hye arranged the entire forces at a distance that ensured a stalemate position. The Toranks were the invaders, operating in the heart of their sworn enemiesʼ main camp, while they were way off their closest allied forces. So in any given situation, a stalemate was the worst kind of situation they would ever dream of facing.

Every single time they tried to break through or attack his forces, they would get hammered hard and retreat with lots of losses. Hye turned the entire battlefield into a reversed Texas cowboy standoff. If any side moved to attack, they would lose greatly. And the numbers of both sides were evenly matched. So there was no advantage at all except by taking grave risks.

One of the risks the Toranks tried was to deploy a few mirrors. Whenever they did that, Hye responded with his kamikaze, arrow formation attack, ending up destroying these mirrors, alongside a few more mirror-carrying ships.

After repeating the process a few more times, the Toranks finally decided not to do it again. They knew they were facing a very patient, very cunning hunter, one who managed to flip the tables, neutralise their strongest weapon, and corner them into such a deadly end.

And like running sand from oneʼs fingers, time passed fast, and five hours later, Hyeʼs deadliest warriors managed to take control of the total defence centres at the Hescos homeland world.

[I have two pieces of news, one good, and one bad!] Just after the passage of five hours, and as Hye was immersed in keeping the Toranks under his total control, Moth suddenly sent this message.

[Tell me both and Iʼll decide!] Hye casually sent, while giving the order for a new arrow attack to start.

[The good news first, then… The control centres are finally under our control!]

[At fcking last!] Hye sighed, [When can you reactivate the defensive grid? And donʼt forget to exclude all of my new ships from the exclusion list, ok?]

[Iʼm already doing this right now as we speak!] Moth paused before adding, [I can reactivate the defensive net in less than twenty minutes. Yet there is the next piece of news that you need to know first… A huge, unknown fleet is approaching us as we speak…]

[What do you mean by unknown fleet?!] Hye didnʼt get his meaning, [Are they part of the Toranks forces?]

[To our knowledge, no. They belong to an underground, mighty, nasty, and infamous force…]

[They are theirs!] Without even waiting for Moth to continue explaining anything or telling intel anymore about this force, Hye jumped to this conclusion. It wasnʼt that hard to guess it; he knew all of the big forces had their own underground detachments, working in the shadows to do their dirty business.

Hye didnʼt need to ask about why; he knew the reason himself. He was pressuring the Toranks so tight till they were losing their cool. They knew losing and wasting time was the only thing they couldnʼt afford. Giving the Hescos time was like signing their own death, not the Hescos.

It seemed they had already funnelled all the nearby allied forces to their grand fleet that Hye decimated and cornered for long hours. So the only option they had was to use one of their underground forces under their wing. And it seemed they were lucky to have such a fleet nearby.

[How can you tell that?!!] Moth was shocked when he saw Hyeʼs instant judgment and reply. In fact, he already spoke with the Grand Elder about it, and the old man reached the same conclusion. Even if Moth didnʼt buy it, seeing two of the most capable men he knew agree on one thing proved it was the right guess.

[Never mind about why, tell me how long before theyʼll arrive here…]

[They are almost here!] out of the blue, the response Moth sent was this shocking: [They are less than ten minutes away from your outside fleet. Thatʼs why Iʼm telling you, itʼs grave news!]

[Well…] Hye processed the news, [How big is this fleet exactly?]

[As big as the initial Toranks fleet that came here with the God Weapon!] Mothʼs reply didnʼt give any comfort to Hye. He knew this was going to be a tricky situation.

He paid a high price to make sure the Toranksʼ fleet would be cornered for a long time, without a room to breathe or act. And yet the incoming fleet was going to give them a life kiss.

Fighting such a grand fleet that was almost here without deploying any defensive measures to stop it was terrible news. Hye knew this was the final stretch the Toranks had before their death and utter defeat.
