I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The next moment my dragons moved, all stood to protect me while I jumped off, landed over that jumper’s back, forcing him to scream in a mighty roar.

“Get off my back!” he roared, but dude I came here to get you. I held him from his armour, and held the leg of my dragon with the other hand. “Rise, take us back.”

That dude went crazy the moment he felt himself flying in the air. He kept waving his two swords, trying to hit me.

That jerk! I was trying to save you and your poor forces, idiot!

“No time for that… Come here,” as I was this close to getting hit more than once, I called for my chariot to come while waving my arm that held him as hard as I could, throwing that dude towards the chariot.

He had no time to resist, as once he fell, I controlled my chariot and let him fall into one of the rooms down below and be trapped in there.

Facing that dude right now would be a great mistake, one that I wouldn’t make. He needed time to rest and cool his head a little. If we talked now, a fight was inevitable for sure.

“Listen up,” as I stood over the edge of my chariot, getting surrounded with my dragons, “I’m taking over for now. Follow this direction, I’ll make sure to arrive there in one piece.”

As I was this close to them, my voice echoed and reached all of them. Also I managed to see glimpses of their faces.

Exhaustions… Anxiety… Fear… All of them showed such negative expressions that made me feel sympathy towards them.

They just got out from hell to be thrown into another by such a crazy leader.

Sigh! That jumper got overboard this time without doubt.

The army here was almost one mile away from the main forces. So getting them back proved to be harder than I thought.

What I feared before happened. Those races got on the same line, seemingly appointing a single leader to them.

They knew they weren’t a match for my chariot, dragons, or fallen gods. So they just decided to aim for the weak forces here, trying to kill as many as they could.

They replaced the frontline with cannon fodders, weak races that worked as slaves for them. They wanted to get me busy dealing with them while they sent a few groups of elites from time to time and sniped the jumper’s army here.

I just wanted that damn jerk to come here and watch the mess he created with his stubbornness. The situation kept getting worse with each passing minute, and the army down below started to show many losses.

But I was doing my best. There was nothing else I could do here. My other personal forces were fighting and helping the main forces to retreat safely.

I was sure what was happening here was also happening out there. It wouldn’t be a good fight indeed, and we would end up losing more than anyone on my team would have ever expected.

However, that was within my calculations. That was why I didn’t plan on keeping this fight when we seemed to have the upper hand here.

As I was sure, such an advantage was just temporary. And with time fatigue and injuries would take the best of my forces, leaving them all vulnerable.

Not to mention the role appointing a leader would play in changing the fighting style of these forces here. Just like what happened now.

“Finally,” after two stressful hours, we finally managed to catch up with the main army. “Go, go in the centre and keep following our pace.”

I let the exhausted and terrified army go into the centre of the big army. Like this they would be much safer and had time to recuperate.

During this journey, they lost almost one fifth of their initial number. As for my main army here, they were also facing up the same kind of tactic.

But they were well protected with my elite humans and Bulltors. Not to mention the dragons that kept flying and hunting any elite enemy forces sent at any time.

My soulers kept a tight hold over the situation. Facing weak races was like a free meal to them.

In general their situation was much better than that stupid jumper’s forces. At least they were together, fighting and holding the backline without any big issues.

As for the front, it was already easy to handle. We were at the outer region of the coalition army here.

It was just a matter of time for all of us to get out and break free from such encirclement.

“Where should we go then?” That was the main question that popped into my mind at that moment. I looked at the general map of the central zone over my chariot and was lost in deep thoughts.

The sounds of the ongoing brutal battle kept getting far away from my ears. I was totally focused and absorbed in thinking about this dilemma.

Should we retreat far and go to the capital in the East? Leave everything we fought for till now?

Or should we follow my old arrangement, control Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan?

In my opinion, ditching everything was a mistake. We wouldn’t get such a chance so easily anytime soon. Not to mention I was really planning to hide deep into my territory and start building my forces up.

There were many issues I needed to work upon. But expanding my territory like this would end up putting more pressure over my forces.

I looked down at the forces. They were big, but they were tired. Also if I went to take such a big cut, the enemy forces behind me would keep harassing my boys.

This… Was a really hard decision to make without doubt.

And I had to make up my mind during the upcoming half an hour. As my army would be already free from this entrapment, be ready to go towards any direction I wanted.

So… Where should I lead them then?
