I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

1767  Two Hard Options

The Souler general was acting now as a relay machine! He kept speaking for hours, relaying any developments, anything new found, and giving Hye a broader viewpoint over the entire scale of this war.

At the same time, he followed the current progress of his people and forces back in his area. The process of finding the scattered races around got interrupted by the ongoing war, yet they were going to get to the closest ones to here.

Hye instructed Lily to send ships out to collect the stranded ships around the territory. He didn't want to waste his time on this, and there was already a huge number of ships awaiting to be collected, either cleared by him or by his warriors.

Hearing about the presence of more ships out there without an owner enticed a lot of heat among his friends and top generals. All were now well aware of the great importance of having ships in the universe, and how it was crucial to expand their fleets.

They knew Hye wouldn't give them anything easily, and would only give them what they needed for the current times. So they wanted to make some contribution, and let him reward them later by adding more ships and fleets, perhaps even with well-trained crews.

So out of his expectations, Hye's friends and top generals started an internal competition about who was going to collect more ships. To make it fair, Lily asked Hye about the routes his warriors took and the places where there were lots of ships there.

She decided to handle the ships he already cleared before releasing his warriors. As for everyone else, they each selected a route, grabbed a small fleet of theirs, and went to reap more loot than others.

The race started, and Hye was the last to know, and he'd get wind of it from Lily later on. He'd not say anything about it, feeling such activity between his friends and top generals was needed after such a long time of slumber back on Earth.

The progress of everything went smoothly for two weeks. During which, he made sure to keep the ongoing battles away from his warriors, not allowing them to merge together.

What he was worried about happened after the first week. The scattered fleets found others belonging to the same universe using common communication channels, and soon enough they started to merge and join forces.

Slowly, and under the keen eyes of Hye and the reports Lucas brought over, all this was noticed. Hye didn't try to stop that, as this was futile and might backfire.

He placed more focus on following the current progress of such merging efforts. As both sides started to adopt such an approach, they also took notice of their enemies' attempts to do so. And that produced very interesting and heated situations everywhere. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Battles became intense, and the merge that happened at the early days of the second week began to enter a cooldown phase.

Yet both sides were starting to grow the number of their coalesced forces. And that left Hye in front of two difficult choices.

He'd either let them have it their way, continue to fight till one kills the other, then he'd jump over and finish the last standing force. Or he'd start interfering, distracting the attention of smaller forces at the border zones, and kite these forces down slowly.

Both options have their pros and cons. The first was the safest approach, but it had the downside of greatly lowering his gains at the end of it.

He didn't just set his eyes over the insane number of ships out there, but also at the endless forces as well. And that was the second option that would guarantee for him, yet he'd risk losing too much to gain this.

"I need to act solo then…" he inspected his inventory, where tons of suits were there. The forces who joined him brought over the suits a few days ago, and the loot was much bigger and much richer than what he initially imagined.

It was enough to arm up to one billion forces of his, and even more. He didn't use them yet, as he didn't know what to do.

"I'll move solo from now on," he decided, "will go and reap all the rewards I can get, with the least possible amount of damage possible."

He decided to adopt the second approach, and yet he decided to tweak it a little. Instead of going directly towards the enemies at the border, he decided to board his small ship, fly in the middle of oceans of ongoing battles, and then attack the enemies from deep within.

This was the craziest idea he could think of, and yet it was the safest one that he could use without endangering his forces or risking rallying everyone against him.

He instantly left control over to Lucas, ordering him to take notes on the information given by his Soulers and Reapers. Even after two weeks, these two warriors were still diving deeper into the middle of a seemingly endless ocean of ships and fleets.

According to what he got from them, using their radar, they couldn't yet grasp the end of such a grand gathering. And that meant they might take a month or even more to reach the end of these ships.

As he travelled in his small ship, he made sure to get updated reports from Lucas. He had to make sure he knew the current progress of the war in the sector he selected.

His warriors moved in directions he simply and randomly selected two weeks ago. And yet they didn't cover sectors. So he decided to deal with this based on a huge area of coverage, something he could easily relate to on the grand map of this zone.

He selected the densest place in the entire sector he selected. It was one of the largest three known gatherings of both universes' forces so far.
