I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1042 I Got Him!

“It’s simple,” he was smart enough to realise many without the need to explain much, “I got such a wondrous artefact, one that could release a mighty shield around my land. It isn’t just for defence, as it can also attack and repel any offence over it.”

“This…”

“So your forces are still surrounding my territory, but they have no way to get inside. Not to mention I got long ranged deadly behemoths on my side, and they are grinding down your forces bit by bit.”

“…”

“That advantage of yours is just a simple illusion. If I’m you, I’d just jolt myself awake with a fierce slap on the face, and wake up from just dreams back to reality.”

“I… I don’t believe you!”

“Then… How about I take you on a little tour?” I evilly smirked, and for a moment he mistook my intentions, “don’t get me wrong. If I wanted to kill you, then I could have done it a long time ago. I still can do it right now, even if you are in the middle of your forces.”

“This…”

“Just accept my kind invitation and appreciate my interest and placing you in such high value. People like you are rare, and I’d hate seeing you die without serving me to the fullest of your potential.”

“…”

I made my offer, and he had to make up his mind. I’d wait for him for a few minutes to decide. If he dwindled, then I’d take him down and accept such loss.

Finding capable talents was indeed a hobby for me. After all, I arrived at my position thanks to lots of my talented people’s contributions.

“Ok, but you’ll promise to return me here unharmed even if I refuse to join you.”

“If you refuse, then you’ll die,” what did this middle aged lord think? This wasn’t a fun game or a show of total generosity.

His life was already in my grasp to decide. If he didn’t want to join me, then only death awaited.

“This…”

“Make your mind, old man. If not, then I’ll kill you on the spot.”

“Tsk… Fine! Let me see with my own eyes first if what you claimed is right or not.”

“Come then,” I instantly opened a portal, making his eyes go all wide open.

“How… How can you use space magic here?”

“Don’t ask,” I shrugged. After all, it wasn’t me who did this, but my staff.

As I passed through the portal, he followed. And once he came to my land, he stopped, looking at the grand scene that awaited him there.

The fight didn’t change that much actually. The pillar was still flying midair, releasing such bright and dazzling golden light.

Yet from the far, one could hear a series of deadly and terrifying explosions. I looked at his face to see it was dark.

“So… It’s true…” he seemed to get the entire situation without the need to see more.

“I didn’t lie,” I waved my glaive twice in the air, “so, are you going to join me or…”

“I will… I will join,” he hurriedly said, “I don’t want to be an idiot and die thanks to pride and such useless things.”

“Cool,” I pointed my glaive at him before adding, “you’ll form an oath with me. Here are the conditions…”

I stated the conditions which were provided for me by Kong earlier. They were the harshest terms in this world it seemed, as the face of the old man changed again when he heard my words.

“Is it necessary?” he didn’t expect me to ask for such harsh terms.

“What? Do you have any other option here?”

“Sigh… You are right. I’ll do it then,” he looked like he got aged by decades at this moment. With lowered head and dejected look on his face, he completed the two circles and writings in between using his blood.

“Cool,” and as I finished mine and the oath took place, I said in a cheerful tone, “Now you can stay here and lead my forces in this fight.”

“This…”

“What? Did you think I was after your land? I was indeed, but I was truly after you. From now on, you’ll be one of my trusted generals in this world.”

“Thanks… Lord,” he said the last word in heavy tongue. As a lord, he never got used to calling anyone else by this word, only had the chance to hear it from his subordinates.

“Can I call off my forces from this army? Let them come here?”

“Sure,” I pointed my glaive at the direction of my pillar, “my little baby here recognised anyone who belongs to me. Let your forces break from the fight and get inside. No harm will come to them.”

“Ok.”

Before leaving here I made sure to leave instructions for all my warriors and two pets to listen to the arrangements and orders of Tom.

That middle aged lord was called Tom. and then I returned back.

First I went to check on Kong’s place. As expected, the scouts left his place and went after my forces.

It seemed news spread over, and the grand army of lords knew that Lang’s forces were with me. And that meant Lang was working with me.

I checked and found nothing out of the ordinary here. Kong’s forces were still stationed inside. And with no danger, things looked quite calm and peaceful here.

After listening to Kong’s useless complaint about my delay in checking over his place, I left after reassuring him that his place wouldn’t get hit anytime soon.

I gave him one extra mission to do. He had eyes everywhere, and I needed eyes at certain places.

When he heard about my intentions, he couldn’t help but get shocked again. I left while he was still immersed in his shock, shaking his head and muttering:

“I got myself a crazy ally!”

Of course I was crazy, especially when I saw a chance and believed in my ability to seize it.

Then I went back to Tom’s land.
