I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

[You won't travel alone; this is a battlefield! And there are tons of outlaw fleets that got scattered, tons of ships that fled, and no one knows what may happen or what they are doing!]

[This… You mean…]

[Take the fleet out, at least one fourth of it] Hye sent over his clear instructions, [This is enough to scare away any sporadic forces. And if you get followed by a sizable fleet, never hesitate to take the rest of the fleet out and kill everyone!]

[Not to get tracked, got it!] she got what he wanted from her, [And this brutal way to do business… Hahaha, I love it! At last I'm going to do something in this war!]

[Don't enter any unnecessary battles, don't attract unneeded attention to you!] Hye had to stress again over this point, [Fight only when you must, do it quick, and run in a longer and deceitful path after to shake trackers away]

"I hope she does as she promised," Hye could only sigh, as he felt how enthusiastic she was to be part of the ongoing mess, "now it's the pirate king turn…"

[What?! You want me to go and kill the sporadic and scattered underground forces?!!!]

The thing that Hye asked from the pirate king was to act as a sweeper. He asked him to go and kill any remnants of those outlaw forces.

[I don't need any unforeseen surprise from any force, so make sure to kill all without exception] Hye repeated what he said, but in a much clearer and more direct way.

[What if they asked to join my side…]

[Reject and kill!] Hye's response was swift and fierce, [Don't let any rat into your garden. Kill and don't negotiate!]

[Got it!] The pirate king wasn't impulsive as the lady nymph. He partially got what Hye wanted to do here. Hye was worried that after teaching these selfish and greedy forces the beauty of working together, they'd rally their scattered and weak on the paper ships, form a grand fleet, one that would endanger his future pursuit for the caravan.

He had to be decisive here, even bloody and cruel. He didn't like the presence of such a sizable force on the same board he was planning the final showdown for the Toranks caravan. And he didn't want to see all his effort end fruitless thanks to such little and silly mistakes.

He picked the pirate king to do this, not the lady nymph, for various reasons. The pirate king already interacted with these forces, and he knew them better than the lady nymph.

Not to mention he was the closest to these forces than the lady nymph. And on top of that, his position at the rear and retreating path of these forces made his role as an assassin more valuable.

On top of that, Hye needed him to be delayed from the caravan, and yet stand on such a rear spot at the same time. There was a scenario in his mind, one that might need the intervention and help of the pirate king.

As he laid down his chips, he knew the main player in all this wouldn't be any of these two, not the Toranks, not the Selvators, not even the Hescos… It'd be him!

"Timing," he muttered, "right timing will be crucial in determining everything…" he kept checking the maps and feeds from different places, waiting for the net to finally lay in place.

It wasn't easy to pick the right time to act. He knew the right period to move in, but he still was considering lots of options, even hesitating about the moment to move.

The main challenging point was the Hescos. They held the key to all this. Currently the threatening huge underground forces are going to get wiped out. And now there was only the Toranks, the Hescos, the Selvators, and him.

If he wanted to, he could have asked the pirate king to go and take down a good deal of the Selvators. The latter once retreated, got scattered across a big area, trying to surround the caravan.

So the pirate king could move out and hit a large number of their forces, killing a ton long before other forces would come and help.

He even could do it himself. And yet he never thought about doing any of that. The main reason was also the Hescos. As they were such mysterious and unpredictable variables, it was better to keep another chip ready to use if things went south.

The worse scenario would be if the Hescos decided to keep watching and not act. Hye knew they would prefer to not directly get involved in such a mess, and wait for someone to grab the caravan, and then they could attack him.

But now the list of forces that could do this grew extremely thin; just him!

Even the Selvators didn't have the manpower to do it, especially when the Toranks didn't use their hidden card yet.

This was a big headache for Hye. He hoped for the underground forces to be enough to force the Toranks to use their card, expose it, and make him arrange responses.

But now he had to think of another way. "It's true that numbers alone don't matter," he inwardly sighed, while trying to come up with something to do.

There was a way, one he could easily pull. Yet it would expose him as the one who did this attack and stole the caravan. On top of it, the Hescos wouldn't act easily against him, as they'd also recognise his identity.

Hye had another way to do it, but he had to sacrifice a lot to achieve the results he wanted. After wrecking his head for hours, he couldn't find any other way to do it.

"Let's proceed with this plan then," he already set this plan into motion when he asked the pirate king and lady nymph to do their tasks. He hoped to find another way to do it, but now he got nothing but this plan to execute.
