I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse - Chapter 1395: A Counter Move
Chapter 1395: A Counter Move
Not like the Hectors who could manipulate elements if they got enough power. If I summoned Hectors, and armed them up with gears, then they’d turn scary.
A much better choice was to try and merge the Dragon bloodline with the Hector’s. The two could use element based attacks, and both were quite strong in their own regards.
Of course this was something that I needed time to test and see its results. However for a moment there the idea tempted me greatly.
I checked on my soul count, and it kept rising compared to last time I checked by almost twenty billion. I now got close to one hundred billion soul points, enough to make twenty million of either races or a new one merged between the two’s bloodlines.
Tsk! That was barely enough… I looked again inside my inventory and thought about what I should use to deal with the impending crisis.
Aside from the artefacts I got from the paragons from before, there wasn’t that much to use against these worms.
These artefacts might look quite useful, but the main weakness about them was their limited range of action.
I could deal with enough worms in a limited area, but wouldn’t be able to help the forces on the grand battlefield.
I wanted to have something to change the entire course of this fight. I thought about many things and tactics, and without withdrawing my forces back, then things would end up quite bad for my side.
I could handle losing many warriors, but couldn’t handle losing this region. I wanted this place as a base for my forces and that required me to clear all the enemies and threats from here if possible.
pAnDa (nov)e1 The presence of these worms changed the entire game. How many of them did the enemy get? Could they call more to help their forces like I was getting out my warriors?
“My techniques…” for a moment there, and just as I pushed aside such tactics thanks to the Exomachines, my technique was supposed to be effective against these worms.
Was this their tactic from the start? To use the Exomachines to stop my threads or what?
If so then they greatly underestimated my threads. Even if Exomachines stood in front of these worms, my threads would still find a way to deal with them.
If I managed to get my hands over a large number of worms before the crisis would befall, then things would turn quite for the better.
My technique alone would be enough to change the entire course of this battle. However, to do so, I got first to find these worms out.
These worms were deep under the ground. And god only knew where they were right now.
For me to go around and seek them would be quite futile. The only method I got was to go towards these holes and either delve directly inside or use my threads to do the task for me.
Yet again the problem of these Exomachines glared up once more.
How could I go to these holes, act freely while such annoyance was waiting on guard on the entrances of these holes?<novelnext>please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m</novelnext>
For a moment there I realised why the enemy stationed them around the holes in the first place. As for why they kept these holes, it was something related to the nature of these worms.
Wait a second… Just when I was randomly thinking about this matter, something crucial popped up in my mind.
These holes… They got to be preserved open for the worms to remain alive!
Until the worms would start their attack, they’d still need the holes they dug to be connected with the surface. And that was usually present at the beginning of these tunnels.
These hoes… They were crucial for the survival of these worms. How come I never thought about this point of weakness before?
The enemy didn’t scatter these Exomachines to safeguard against me. They didn’t come this hard against Sara for discovering the Exomachines or for her to see these holes.
The sole reason was the holes themselves. If I managed to close them, then the worms deep under the ground would end up suffocating and dying!
What a twist! Damn! I got lots of information, and yet missed such a glaring weakness, a fatal weakness of such formidable worms.
[Pay close attention to the ground] and just as I decided to act, I didn’t forget about my scattered warriors around, [I’m going to attack something scary…]
I started to tell them the basic information about these worms, warning the generals about what might happen next.
I’d start a big bang against those worms and Exomachines. The fight would be hard to control, and after the deaths of the early batches of these worms, others might get informed and find a way out to the surface.
They might not be in location to attack everywhere yet, but that didn’t mean my forces weren’t in any danger.
To be safe, I warned the generals and asked them to scatter their forces around. Sticking around was going to end up quite bad if a group of these worms came out from the spots they occupied.
In fact, and even if it might seem quite crazy, I described the insane tactic Sara used so far and advised them to use it.
Despite it being a crazy tactic, it greatly suited such a situation. I gave them ten hours to arrange their forces before I’d start acting.
I didn’t do that out of boredom or something. Trying to rearrange their forces wouldn’t take that much time indeed.
However I wanted to take some time to do something else.
“Before hitting them, it’s better to take down these free gears first,” I muttered in greed, while eyeing the endless stream of fiends coming from beyond the area of the holes.
These fiends were pouring here endlessly as the enemy decided to use the worms as the final weapon against me. So it didn’t matter how much of these fiends they’d lose here, at the end they’d crush me and my forces.
