I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

1075 The Purge Plan

They crushed forty-three lords this time, while Loran adapted an approach that helped her relieve the pressure over her forces.

She dealt with the lords as a cluster, while wiping each group of lords out in a single violent attack.

Like this, even if she suffered bigger losses than Lucas, she didn't have to leave behind any forces to safeguard against anything.

In fact, she used her knowledge about the nature of the world here for her own benefit. And I had to give her a few points for that.

Out of this bulk, Lucas only crushed seventeen and she handled the rest. The biggest factor in this was for her to not leave behind any forces, making Lucas wait for her forces to be exhausted and need reinforcements.

"Lord, what about her?" as I finished taking all the lands, bones, and cubes, Lucas asked, "she has little forces left."

"Fine," I couldn't help but bitterly smile at this sharp witted girl, "grant her all the forces we gained as extras this round."

"This…"

"Don't worry," I felt like he was regretting speaking up for her. I knew he did it for my sake, not hers. After all, if she turned out to be weak, she'd restrain the ongoing expansion process, "I'll grant you more soulers now."

Like before, I summoned five million soulers to get surprised to see them all appear.

Wait… Don't tell me my land now could allow me to summon more!

After summoning one and half extra million, I hit my limit.

"Take half and let her have the other half," seeing all this, I knew it would be unfair to give them all to Lucas.

"I'll abide by your orders," and this dude wasn't like her. He didn't care about having grander forces than her, but focusing more on the grinder picture and goal of me, his lord.

I liked that attitude of his to be honest.

After finishing this round, the smile on my face got wiped out when I returned back.

"Damn! Who is exactly working for whom here? I'm the lord! I should have rest and pleasantries, not working my ass off like this!"

The corners of my mouth twitched when I returned. I was just able to cover up one quarter of the added space outside the wall before the entire space got increased by fold!

Dammit! Should I call them in and end their progress or what?

Even with such an increase, the colour of my territory remained pale gold. It didn't show any signs of changing colour, and it seemed it wouldn't do it anytime soon.

After all this was expected. The grand majority of the lands I conquered were all green and white in colour. Blue only blossomed rarely. I doubted even if I got more than three or four during these two trips.

Trying to push a pale gold territory with greens and whites? That was indeed an impossible feat!

I'd need tons of these lands before dreaming about ascending to dark gold grade.

Then how did Berry do it? I got the feeling that having a pale gold grade was actually restraining my hands. How about it when I got it to reach dark gold grade then?

Tsk! I thought I was doing great, but it seemed she was also doing great.

I returned to resume my work, and this time I summoned Lucas just six days after.

The deadline is already upon us. I focused on building towers more than anything else. I got used to the design layout and the pattern behind it with time.

So I randomly selected places according to my guesses and built towers everywhere.

Even if this design was ruined, it didn't matter. Removing a block or two from the entire city layout wasn't a big deal as long as I said so.

In the meantime, these towers would help the defending forces to protect my land. This way, I wouldn't need to worry about the regions beyond the great wall.

"Lord!" Once I summoned him back, Lucas was flustered at first before greeting me at once in deep respect.

"It's almost time," I knew there wasn't much time left, "let's go and absorb these lands you conquered before letting you loose."

"What does lord mean by letting us loose?" Lucas seemed surprised about my arrangements.

"It's easy, from now on, we won't aim for taking out lords, but destroying their defensive buildings and towers. In other words, you'll commence a sweep clean operation to pave the path for later crush after our return."

"Return?"

"Don't keep asking, and let's go and claim these places first," I knew he didn't know anything about my conversation with Berry.

Yet unlike him, I bet Loran knew what this meant when she'd hear my orders.

Despite being curious, he complied and opened a path. We went through and kept jumping over, while he sent a messenger to deliver my new orders over to Loran.

"Start the purge operation, leave not a single tower behind," my words were decisive and clear. From now on, the two of them would work like this until our time here would end.

During the last hunt, I gained almost the same amount of land as last time. And like the previous two times, I gained one blue territory and the rest were greens and whites.

As expected, this last addition didn't cause any change in my land's colour. It just added more space outside.

Left with little time, almost less than two days, I started to focus on towers again. As for the other two, I trusted they'd do as I instructed.

Destroying buildings, especially towers, was going to deal a strong blow to lords.

From Loran's design, I got that idea. Lords weren't like me, they had limited energy and power within their bodies.

So no matter how mighty a lord was, he'd take a long time to rebuild his lands. And I bet Loran would read through my intentions.

Like that, even if I didn't come here for a long time, the lords wouldn't just try their luck against my land.
