I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse
Chapter 698 Meeting With My GeneralsThe training camp here would be moved out and be placed at the Hector continent. Even that part of the continent would experience a huge rebuilding process, with many towns and cities being constructed there.
The strongest defence of any nation would be their people living in densely packed cities and towns. Like this, any invading enemy had to go through hell first before crossing a good distance.
That task would be left over for Isac to do. From now on, she would officially handle any building projects in the kingdom.
As for the manpower, after I’d close the upcoming deals with the three sovereigns, I’d go on a wide purchase spree of all the races I could gather.
And my humans would come on top of the list for sure.
I took my time to rest as well. During this war, I kept jumping over from one hellish battle to another without having any moment of rest.
Thinking about cultivating was a waste of time. I just learnt my body over my chariot, ate and drank enough to replenish my energy.
[Come on board] As I finished, I sent these messages to all the four generals, plus Isac..
As for Alex and Leo, these two should get a taste of how demotion worked in my kingdom.
They weren’t considered part of the upper echelon of my kingdom anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Isac about bringing these two over, I straightforwardly declined. I wouldn’t get shy over such a thing, even if Leo was shameless enough to ask for it.
In the next half an hour, the five generals appeared on top of my chariot. From the look on their faces, I could tell how tired and exhausted they were.
The war was over, but the real deal started from now.
“… This is the current situation of our kingdom,” as they came on board, I started by speaking about what happened in this war and what the current situation looked like.
“So… We aren’t going to have any moment of rest, right boss?” The spearhead was standing puffing out his chest despite looking extremely worn out.
This dude exerted his last ounce of strength to help the three generals at the frontline. He did great, and I had to give him credit for that.
“Hectors won’t leave us alone,” I shrugged.
“But… Our forces…” Isabella looked over to the other three while they nodded.
I got what she wanted to say. They lost a lot and weren’t in any shape to join such a long term fight.
Their forces were already exhausted and needed time to rest.
“I’m working over to solve this problem, and that’s part of what I wanted you all here for,” I paused before adding, while moving my eyes among all of them, “I need you to recommend fresh names for me. They will lead their own armies, and you will act as supreme generals from now on.”
“That means… What?” Hilary asked while leaning her head over my chest. She was very tired, just like the rest of the generals of mine here.
“You will lead generals, ordering them around.”
“What about our forces?” Isac asked.
“All of you will gain fresh blood soon. But I have to do something first. By the way, you will be stationed for the time being in the capital, supervising over the needed building projects like…”
I started to speak about my grand plans. The more I spoke, the more her face fell.
“You want me to start such big building projects all over the kingdom with such few people we have?!!”
“I said I’m working over solving this problem,” I rolled my eyes, “right now the top priority is to start the building process to strengthen the kingdom during this long war. What comes next won’t be nice anyway and we have to be fully prepared for it.”
“What will come next?” Sara asked, having the same puzzled look over the spearhead, and Isabella’s faces.
Only Isac had her eyes widened for a second and my girl got on her feet, with such a look of horror over her face. These two knew what I was talking about.
“The Zombie plaque! Damn! I totally forgot about this cursed quest!”
“We have to prepare for that,” I said while others exchanged weird looks before Isabella asked:
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you perhaps those undead mythic creatures who were featured in films and TV series before?”
“They are real,” my chick said in such a firm tone, “they are real and they are much scarier than what you might think.”
“That…” even his spearhead felt a little shaken when he heard what my girl said.
“We will walk through it like we did with everything else,” I spoke to reassure them, “but we will need to do lots of things for that. I’ll depend on you to select the capable fighters from your armies, those who excelled and showed exceptional performance during the past war.”
“That’s not hard,” Isabella sighed, “but this zombie thing… I can’t get over it!”
“We will have the punishment left by then, right boss?” the spearhead asked and I nodded, “that will be great then. We lacked a lot during the last moments of that big war thanks to that stupid punishment.”
I knew what he was speaking about. At the end of this war, they got to face lots of races’ armies in the west, facing the real deal of this punishment plus the quest debuffs.
This was the same as the eastern battlefield. But during the fifth quest, this would all change.
“We have around fourteen days, right?” my chick asked, and I nodded before shaking off my head.
“Don’t forget the wait period between any quest,” I said, “so we might have up to three weeks here.”
“We should strengthen our lands,” she was the only one experienced among all of them about this zombie infestation, “every single zone must have a defensive camp filled with forts and towers. This way we can secure our kingdom.”
“This…” Isac was the main focus of Hilary’s words. And I couldn’t disagree with her.
