I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Yet these forces were overly cautious to not be the first to arrive there. They waited till the pirate king came close enough, and then they started to move towards the gathering spot.

[See? They sent fleets to attack the caravan!] The one to send this complaint over wasn't the pirate king, but the lady nymph. Like Hye, she was also watching the pirate king moves and tracking everything closely.

She noticed, just like Hye, the forces which were about to join the pirate king's side, sending lots of ships away from the direction of the meeting. They wanted to attack the caravan when almost everyone was busy fighting the Selvators.

[Let them be] Hye didn't feel any pressure, [Just be sure to be ready to act if things needed to]

[I'm too fcking far away! It'll take hours to get there! Let me move right now…]

[No!] Hye decisively refused, [Just listen to my orders and don't foil the plan, or else you'll get killed by my hands!]

He knew she was very agitated and impatient, but the last thing he'd want to see was for her to disobey his orders and do something that'd cost him everything he worked for so far.

[Tsk!] She indeed planned to disobey his orders. But when he threatened her like that, she couldn't help but hesitate and renege on what she intended to do.

Hye ignored her for now. He had the feeling things wouldn't run as smoothly as he expected and planned. And he got more feeling about how important her role in saving the day would be.

He knew he should always trust his instincts, especially in such vague and shaky situations. He moved his focus over the pirate king, watching how he handled the incoming forces, arranged them into legions.

He spread the grand fleet he gained into seven different legions. Hye made sure to personally message the pirate king about that, asking him to distribute the forces over seven only.

"Trying to gather them together in one big force won't save the problem, and making lots of legions won't do either," Hye muttered while referring to the twenty-three different forces in the pirate king grand alliance, "let's see how they'll act with just seven legions."

This was the best idea he came up with in such a short time. At the moment of forming the seven legions, they all moved in different directions, each to stop a huge part of the incoming Selvator fleets.

The Selvators already sniffed what was going to happen. And instead of just throwing their fleets in the direction of the caravan, they started to arrange and gather them into bigger fleets.

By the time the pirate king prepared his seven legions, the Selvators prepared four. Even if they were the ones who planned all this, they still were way outnumbered. And with what Hye meticulously planned, their enemies managed to add another advantage of being a coherent and united force.

Without the need to wait for the results, Hye knew the Selvators would suffer a big defeat. The size of defeat and the number of losses were all substantial to the Selvator leaders themselves.

If they felt threatened, they'd keep pushing their fleets to get to the caravan. If they acted wise, they'd retreat and wait for a better chance.

Hye ignored all the panic messages coming from the lady nymph. He calmly waited and watched as the battles started in different directions, and between different forces.

As he expected, the different forces that sent ships to try and steal the caravan got hit hard and destroyed. They didn't work in an organised manner, but in a very selfish and competitive way that made the task of the Toranks even easier to get rid of them.

"Tsk! And here I was waiting for them to force the Toranks to use their hidden weapon," Hye sighed, "what a waste!"

Aside from this little hiccup, the other battle side proved to be effective and successful. The Selvators got pushed back in less than a few hours of engagement with the seven forces.

Even if they were losing on the numerical side, the Selvators showed how strong and capable they were. They managed to deal lots of damage over the coalition formed by the pirate king. And when they decided to retreat, it was done in a very organised and calculated way that limited their losses.

"They knew they wouldn't succeed in passing… Or perhaps it was the high cost they'd pay if they kept attacking…"

Hye kept thinking about this while watching the Selvators retreat far away from the caravan. They didn't run away as most of the coalition forces thought, instead they retreated to the nearest safe and hidden bases of theirs.

"Now it's up to the underground world forces the pirate king gathered to make their next move," Hye knew these forces lost much more than what they initially expected. And yet they were still in a very good shape to continue fighting.

Yet this time things were doomed to be different. Before they agreed to join hands together as there was a scary predator around. But now they were going to act selfishly again.

"I'm sure this time the Toranks won't keep their hidden hand away," Hye could read the next moves the coalition army forces would make. And when the pirate king contacted him with the news, he confirmed his guess.

[New change, I intercepted many arrangements for the forces I gathered to break the alliance and move to hit the Toranks] the pirate king sent.

[Are they going to work solo?] This was the point Hye wanted to know the most. And what he heard made him realise these forces learnt something from the desperate fate the little ships they sent suffered.

[They are going to form smaller alliances between each other, I even got the invitation from many to join them. What shall I do?]

"So, they learnt and evolved, interesting," Hye laughed, "but this is for the best for my plans. Time to push things up a notch…"
