I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"It seems the Selvators wanted to end this war fast," Hye knew the Selvators had the option to let the Toranks and other fleets fight among each other. And then they'd appear when time was right and steal the trophy for themselves.

But such extreme moves meant they were in a hurry. And he couldn't help but think about the silent predator lying in wait; the Hescos!

"They knew," Hye amusingly smiled, "and it seems they learnt about the Hescos quite late. But… Does that mean the Toranks also know?"

This was a big point he needed to clarify. His entire plan was dependent on the negligence of Toranks and other races of the Hescos' presence.

Now the Selvaotrs knew, and Hye started to search the recent reports, looking for any news about further Toranks reinforcements coming this way.

"If there is any, then many reports would have spoken about that," he didn't find a single mention of such reinforcements coming to rescue. And that meant the Toranks didn't know yet

"The Toranks don't know, and the Selvators do? That's weird…" Hye laid his back on the couch, thinking more about this, "don't tell me… The Hescos is working with the Selvators?!!"

He soon discarded such a hypothesis. It didn't add up, as the Selvators change in plans meant they were worried about the Hescos.

"I shall wait a bit further then," Hye felt his earlier decision to wait was quite good. If he raced up to attack the caravan, he'd have ended up entrapped with the Toranks, getting attacked from everywhere, while running for his life from the deadly and merciless black hole.

What he didn't know was that the Selvators accidently discovered the plans of Hescos to intervene. They made sure to keep this news hidden, or else most of the forces gathered here would give up once they learnt about that.

The main attractive point for these forces eyeing the caravan was the lack of any big behemoth in this battle. They thought the Toranks were cornered, and without any big predator presence, they got a shot.

Hye's decision to keep himself away for now would save him from tons of trouble soon enough.

The early battles weren't that significant. The Toranks were strong even when they were racing time to run away from the black hole. And yet with every few hours passing, more forces would arrive, and the battles started to turn hectic and bloody.

The Toranks had to disperse, covering a huge area of space to secure the caravan's escape. At the same time, they left behind a few fleets to guard the caravan, acting as the last line of defence.

The main glaring point was the overall weakness of the attacking forces. Even if they had good ships, well trained teams, they still lacked general principles of organisation.

They were attacking like locusts, all for their own good, without even arranging stuff with each other. They all eyed the caravan, thought about taking it for themselves and not sharing with anyone else.

That made all these forces, even if they had the upper numerical advantage, pretty useless and weak in front of the coherent defending Toranks fleets.

"Tsk, can't they see this is futile," Hye was surprised that alliances never got birthed out during the past period, "they had enough time to do that. Don't tell me they'll just keep coming this way and get killed in the end!"

It was weird indeed, but what he noticed all the forces that didn't take part in the war so far noticed as well. At first no one thought the Toranks would last more than a few hours. And yet after the passage of an entire day, no one even managed to penetrate the ironclad defensive line-up of the Toranks, not to mention getting a glimpse of the real caravan.

"That's new…" After another half day of useless attacks, Hye finally spotted an attack that looked coordinated between ten different forces. And for the first time since the start of the war, the Toranks started to lose!

The combined forces weren't the only ones formed in the background. More coordinated attacks came, placing huge pressure on the already stretched Toranks fleets.

The Toranks were doing great so far, but their forces were dispersed over a large area of space. So, when they got little pressure, many holes appeared, and few fleets started to escape their grasp.

"Tsk! Still not enough!" Even when a few fleets escaped from the outer resistance area, they got hammered hard by the fleets defending the caravan. Their escape didn't yield anything, but at least there was new movement and good signs.

[Not yet!] During all this time, the other two kept nagging him, asking when they should move out. Hye knew it was the worst time possible to act. And he had to wait patiently and keep watching until a chance emerged.

Even when he got fed up with them and explained how this situation was suicidal for them, they still wanted to get into the fray.

"They just want to secure the caravan first, getting impatient… It seems other forces are having the same thoughts…"

Hye realised that with few fleets passing through the outer Toranks net, everyone must have felt the pressure and got greedy and impatient. As he expected, the next waves of attacks were massive, while many impatient forces moved out, trying to pass through and get to the caravan.

And yet that backfired, as these random and separate fleets disturbed the organised efforts of others, making it all get wasted and all got stopped again.

At the same time, the Toranks finally got the chance they wanted to breathe and organised their forces in a more efficient way. They retracted their outer forces, making them closer to each other, and that made the task of penetrating through more challenging and less possible.

"Those Selvators are very patient… They must have everything playing out according to their plans," even when many grew impatient and greedy, the Selvators kept their calm and never appeared so far.
