I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1031 A Golden Chance

"Scatter and kill!" I gave the order while the fiery rocks started to shine from the high depths of the sky above.

My little turtle was already using his skill from far away, not waiting to arrive here. Good lad!

"Ah!"

"Lord will come and kill you!"

"F*ck you!"

I kept hearing such curses and threatening promises, but in the end not a single one managed to stand my glaive or the fierceness of my little hit force here.

"So… This is the land of that living dude…" I got that if this was part of the other dead lords' lands, then these forces wouldn't lift a finger against me.

They'd stand idle, without moving a muscle.

"Move, let's go to the next land," I marked this place in my mind and used the staff to save me time coming here.

I wasn't fearing for anyone to come and snatch it. As long as the lord of this piece of land was alive, and part of his forces were with him, no one would be able to take control of this land.

That also gave me inspiration, a way to keep my land intact even if most of my forces and all of my buildings got ruined.

"Yes, this is ours!" I got lucky that the next land belonged to one of the dead lords.

"Stay here and wait for me," I didn't need them to do anything this time as I would do all the tasks.

"Devour!" I said the magical word, and this territory ended up being sucked and eaten to the last speck of dust by mine.

"Next…" I moved and the next couple lands belonged to other lords. They looked vigilant, seemingly waiting for me and my army to arrive.

I even saw a territory with three armies stationed on guard. Damn! It seemed such a tactic of forming an allied army was common in this world.

And that meant I might meet lands with few soldiers there who didn't belong to any of my dead lords.

"Bypass it," just as I thought about it, the next territory belonged to one of the living three lords joining the coalition army I just met.

Just as I came closer from that land, shouts of warning and sounds of many forces running made their way to my ears.

It was futile to try and hit the land while its lord was kicking and part of its forces were away.

"Bingo…" yet the next one belonged to one of the four dead lords I killed. I devoured the land and collected the cube as I did with the past territory I conquered.

Now I got three cubes, with two still waiting for me to collect.

There were three remaining territories, and one of them belonged to one of the dead lords I killed.

But just as I drew closer from the three territories that formed a triangular formation with each other, I didn't need to look for the one.

"Don't attack! Stay stealth and hide your presence for now!"

Just from miles far, I could see a large army drawing fast towards one territory from another.

And from the third, one army was also starting to move out towards the same target.

What did this mean? If I wasn't sure there was only one missing territory without lords and forces here, I'd mistake this as a move from the three lords here to form a single and stronger army.

But that wasn't the case. The last territory was the one without any lord and forces. It seemed the other two lords sniffed the situation fast, and got news about the weird state forces at that territory.

It didn't need a genius to know that the lord of this territory got killed, and his remaining forces were like sitting ducks. They didn't kill the lord, but they thought if they came here and killed the rest of the forces, they'd gain the territory.

However this was a golden chance for me!

These two lords would come at each other's throat. Their two armies would fight to death. And that was for nothing!

They mistook a simple and tiny detail, that lord's forces weren't all dead!

They assumed that whoever did this, which was I, and killed that territory's lord must have annihilated the entire lord's army.

This was a logical way to think. After all it was stupid for any general to show himself to his foe, or fall without spending the last soul of his forces as a shield to protect his life.

And that simply wrong reading of the current situation was what led to such an interesting opportunity for me.

I let my chariot fall to the ground, and started to watch the brutal and fierce fight that started in such an intense and heated way just from the very beginning.

The two lords here seemed to know each other too well. They prepared forces to match their foes, and even knew where the weak spots of each other lay.

"Lord… Are we going to wait?" Lucas seemed itchy to fight as he whispered from my side.

We were just over a small hill, covering up our presence and allowed us to have a perfect view over the entire big grinding battle up front.

"When two idiots are doing the job we are supposed to struggle to do, then don't act greedy and shake the sense back into their heads. Let them fight and devour each other until there isn't much left then we'll land over them to claim the loot."

"Ok, lord," Lucas didn't say much, but from his tone I could feel his disappointment.

Sometimes, winning a war didn't require one to kill the most troops of the enemy side. Sometimes, lying on the side of the hill and watching two mad dogs fight each other was the best tactic one would do in such a situation.

And in the end, I'd descend down the hill and reap all the benefits for myself.

I wasn't going to get just one single territory this time, but three. And the best thing was the way in taking these.
