I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

They could assign the tasks of dealing with the room and those people to their trusted subordinates. From what I saw, humans took this as a chance to have fun in such dark times.

So my team and their trusted teams might have fun as well while doing it.

“Hilary is at the coast,” I recalled the previous arrangement before I lost my consciousness. So I moved my chariot up to the coast and went north from there.

It was good that Hectors didn’t come and attack my capital during this time. It seemed they got their own problems to handle, or were just preparing their forces.

Either way, my capital passed through this critical moment of my absence. Even that mysterious bastard who kept nagging at me didn’t appear all this time.

I hoped he would stumble while walking, fall on a rock and break his neck or something. I’d call that pure luck, pure damn luck.

Just as I reached the coast, I noticed the presence of a large number of people up there. They were working so hard, digging the ground and clearing the dirt._.

A series of long deep lines extended on the ground, looking like scars from high up. As I flew forward, I saw more workers digging, as they were forming circular big holes, seemingly for posts and defensive towers.

I didn’t know what Isac exactly planned for this part, but she seemed to do a nice job here. The walls in this part weren’t triple, but they were formed in groups, each had three up to five walls lined side to side with narrow spaces in between.

Each group had a wide street separating them from each other, looking like paths for armies to march through, reaching almost twenty up to forty metres in width.

Each mile I saw a group of big circular holes in the ground. So she arranged the defensive towers and posts to be situated in such regular intervals.

Quite organised and well prepared to face any attack indeed. Hopefully I’d find some nice ballistae and other cool war stuff to secure these parts with their mighty power.

“Here you are,” after flying around for half an hour, I finally got to see Hilary. She was standing in the middle of a big group of her elites, seemingly listening to the updates that happened during her absence.

From her intense reaction when I woke up, and the dark circles around her eyes, I got to know that this girl didn’t sleep during the past three days, kept standing on the side of my bed.

“Come on board for a sec,” I saw how busy she was, so I had to make it quick.

“You missed me and came to see me this soon?” Yet when she came up, she hurriedly ran and jumped into my arms while saying that.

Giving me such a line made me unable to say anything I had in my mind. I could only pat on her shoulder while keeping her in my embrace for now.

“Did you see the new communication system?” I asked after long minutes of holding her within my arms and caressing her gently on the back.

“I got the notification, but didn’t have time to check it.”

Her tone came so low and weak, as if she was sleepy or something.

“You should check it, I created a room there with the name of our kingdom.”

“Really?!” she sat erect while looking at me with half closed eyes. “You… Don’t tell me you are the one behind this?”

“Who else?” I laughed and she smiled.

“I had to know it was you when I heard the notification,” she sighed, “you… I dunno how you get to do all this, but I’m glad you really took over my power and came back here.”

“Is that so?” I touched her face, gently with my fingers while she closed her eyes as if she really wanted to sleep.

She was so tired, and I could only sigh. She… Just got herself tired and exhausted, letting me feel more guilt for her.

“You can go down there and have some rest,” I proposed, despite knowing her answer.

“I can’t,” she yawned while stretching both arms in a lazy way, “I left my boys down below working for three days straight. I had to check over their work first before doing anything else. Ah, about that room of yours…”

“I want you and others to be assigned as mods,” I said, while feeling more guilt to assign more work to her.

“What do you really want from it?” she asked, while resisting the urge to close her eyes and sleep, “I know you, you won’t do anything without a big benefit from it.”

“I just want to recruit any human we can get,” I shrugged.

“Regardless of location?” she started to regain her activity as she asked with a much stronger tone.

“Accept anyone,” I said before adding, “one day we will get a means to travel large distances, you know that.”

“Yes… but…”

“It will happen later on, I get it,” I nodded, “but let’s lay the foundation for such a move from now.”

“Pretty much meticulous and scheming dude you are,” she stood up from my lap, swaying for a second there before I held her body with my hands.

“Easy there,” I said and she could only smile.

“I have to go down,” she slowly said, while touching my chin with her delicate and smooth fingers, “or else… We might end up leaving me wasted like always.”

“Next time then,” I painted a soft kiss over her forehead, making her body shiver for a second. She hugged me tightly for a long minute before finally releasing me and going towards the stairs.

“Next time,” she said before vanishing through the stairs.

I watched her walking back to her boys. I knew I’d depend on her for that task in the room. I just had to search for her name and give her a higher role than a mod, like an admin or something.
