My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

The hordes widened his eyes as he watched the crow marching toward him with glee in its eyes.

Ahhhhhhhh!

"I will show you!" His agonizing scream stunned both Susan and Kira as they looked at each other before they turned to look at the crow feeding on the hordes and shivered.

Justin listened to Nika's report without any expression on his face. As for the short charade from Robert, Nika reported it also. Since the last experience was still fresh on the mind of everyone.

"Congratulations on becoming a Third Circle existence," Justin said after a moment of silence.

Merab's face brightened and she responded in a low voice. "Thank you."

Justin twisted his lips and looked at the faces of the others. "This territorial battle is a chance for every one of you to level up. We're lacking behind. So get your priorities straight."

"We wasted a lot of time before we discovered this Abyssal desert horde's hideout. Thus, we're going all out."

"You have one hour to rest before you match out with the defense team to meet with Kira and Susan. This is a clean sweep. You don't return until you wipe out all the abyssal desert hideouts. And if you meet a grade five existence…." His expression turned solemn. "You know what to do. Dismiss."

Quickly, Pipe man and Nika rushed out of the conference room to treat their injury and get some rest to recover this strength. Thus, there was no time for any of them to linger on some feelings.

When the group left the conference room only three people were behind. Justin, Chloe, and Grandpa Philip.

"How is the rune inscription coming up?" Justine turned to Chloe.

"Good…" She nodded with a light smile on her face. "I can now inscribe a rank 3 basic rune."

"Good. Can you upgrade the Pipe man inscription?"

"Yes. I planned to upgrade but he left too quickly." Chloe said with a slight frown.

"Go to his room and get to it."

Hearing this, she looked at Justin from the corner of her eyes and her face reddened. 'I knew it. Nothing can hide from him.'

"With the new supplies from the loot, there is enough metal and other resources for you to increase your forging skill, right?" He looked like grandpa Philip.

"Yes. In the past couple of days, My forging skill has improved by leaps and bounds. It was like forging was made for me."

"Do you recognize all the ore?"

"Yes. They are all basic ore but it isn't something that is easily seen in our world. Thus, this made the guess correct. The hordes came through our world some kind of portal"

"You're right. And they need a lot of human beings to power this portal." Justin affirmed.

Chloe listened to their conversation without any change in her expression. As it only took normal human beings to use a bit of their brain to realize this.

"Can you forge the array disk?"

"Yes…" He nodded with a confident smile.

"Good. How long would it take you to forge 500 disks in this design?" He showed him a piece of paper with some drawings.

500!

Chloe and Grandpa Philip widened their eyes as they looked at the piece of paper before they looked at the serious look on Justin's face.

Grandpa Philip swallowed the lumps in his throat and thought for a couple of moments before he responded.

"Half a day at best."

"That's too long… 2 hours."

"2 hours." Both Chloe and Grandpa Philip shouted in unison.

"Yes. I want you two to work together to forge it. Besides, there are a lot of people in the forging department that need your training. So why do you sound as if I gave you a death sentence."

Chloe and Grandpa Philip looked at each other and were unable to come up with something. Thus, they sighed and slumped back in their chairs.

Justin didn't care about their dejected expression and left the conference room. He needed to complete his end if he wanted to complete his plan.

Deep in the desert, two people sat on a high dune, staring into the distance.

"What do you think of the territorial battle?" Kira asked.

"Simple the world is ruled by a powerful existence and only the power matters right now. Without it, we are as good as dead."

"Shouldn't we have our territory also?" Kira asked, staring at the horizon.

"Are you asking me that?" Susan turned to look at her. "Are you doubting him?"

"Never!" Kira shook her vehemently. "Since there is now a territorial battle and we are inside the ark. Then, we must invade every time."

"And is that bad?"

"Little sister, you should understand my train of thought."

"I understand like I didn't. You said it as if it was a good thing and like a bad thing."

"Huh," She sighed and looked directly into Susan's eyes. "I just want him to open up to us."

"Us…"

"I and you of course."

"Since you trust him, then you must trust his decision."

"I do and I will continue to do. It's just… he seems to carry a lot of burdens…" She sighed and averted her gaze. "You feel it, so you don't need me to tell you."

"I felt it… but you're forgetting an important point." Susan said in a calm voice. Her previous cold attitude had long disappeared into thin air. She sat casually beside Kira like a sister having a conversation.

"What key point?" She creased her brow and looked in a certain direction.

"We're weak." She responded in a solemn tone. "To carry his burden, we must have the right strength. And with the look of things, we were so damn weak that I didn't even have the thought. Previously when I and Mack led the group. I made most of the decisions.

Although we are both in the same circle I'm an elemental fighter with a soul weapon. I'm inherited stronger than him and perceive things that he couldn't.

Thus, for him to understand my decision. He must reach my level even when I share some secrets with him. He wouldn't understand the gravity because he couldn't sense the danger." She paused and took a deep breath. Probably, this must be the time she talks the most since the beginning of the apocalypse.

Kira didn't utter a word as she calmly comprehends Susan's illustration. After a couple of seconds, Kira stood and looked at Susan with a radiant smile.

"Thank you…"

"For what…"

"Don't play games with me… Little sister."

"Fine!" Susan chuckled and stood beside Kira, looking into the horizon.

"In this conquest, I must breach the gap as close as possible," Kira said with determination.

"I'm all in."

Hahaha

The two ladies gave a short laugh and Kira grabbed her hand, dragging her forward. Seeing this, Susan froze for a moment before she reluctantly allowed her to drag forward as a bright smile appeared on her face. If any man saw her beautiful mesmerizing smile, they would pray never to wake up without the smile.

"Don't make me envy you as a woman," Kira said looking at the gorgeous smile on Susan's purple lips. "I can't believe a human can be this… pretty."

Susan giggled and moved closer to her, holding her by the waist. "You don't need to be jealous. You're equally beautiful in your own right. You don't know how many times I envied you before I became your… "

"Your what?"

"Little sister."

"Really?"

"Yes. You're the mother of the ark and the way you smile and carry yourself was just infuriating for me."

Hahaha

Kira laughs looking at Susan's serious face. Seeing Kira laugh, she joined and the two gorgeous women laughed, uncaring of the scorching sun.

"Now, the ice beauty and mother of the people belong to a single man. What a plot?" Kira said through her laugh.

Hearing this, Susan didn't refute it. Although she only spent a couple of moments with Justin. However, with their soul link and the bond created through memory sharing. And how he led his people. It would be a lie if she denied she wasn't smitten. Besides, she was extremely handsome and powerful. Which lady won't be smitten by that powerful combination?

"Miss Kira and Miss Susan" Merab's voice came from a couple of meters from the two ladies.

"You're earlier than expected," Kira responded while smiling. However, Susan had reverted to her usual cold self.

"His majesty only gives us one hour of rest. Thus, here we are." A group of people speared behind her, looking at the dead gorgeous women in astonishment.

"That should be enough. Let go." Kira said and looked at the dune a couple of meters from them and her spear appeared in her hand.

Whoosh!

She swung her spear and a golden arc slew toward the dune.

Ah!

A miserable howl came from the dune and a giant horde appeared, looking miserable and covered in dried blood.

"Three people should carry the horde. He would lead us to their hideout. It is time to end this battle once and for all."

In the northern part of the desert, hundreds of desert hordes race toward a long giant metal beast in the distance with their gaze full of fury.

"Let's end it once and for all."
