I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Hye asked her to just divert the attention of the Toranks away from here and force them to change their route of travel. She brilliantly succeeded in doing so, and yet she missed the goal of forcing the Toranks hands to use the secret weapon.

In fact, Hye didn't intend to let her force the Toranks to reveal that weapon. He wanted her to destroy as many ships as she could, greatly weakening the Toranks fleet. And yet with the short battle that erupted, the Toranks still preserved most of their fleets.

That was bad news for the waiting away pirate king and his fleet. Even if Hye sent more ships and warriors over to the pirate king, the Toranks seemed ready to return backwards again, and go for another route away from these ambushes.

Hye didn't want to see that. He wanted weak and totally exhausted Toranks fleets. Or else the Toranks wouldn't be forced to fight a battle of life and death with the pirate king fleets.

So his only option now was in the lady nymph. Her fleet was the closest to the Toranks', and she could continue to pressure them on the cost of losing part of the fleet.

But losing too much wasn't an option here! This would backfire, giving the Toranks a way out from such a trap he orchestrated. And so he made sure to stress over not losing more than half of the entire fleet. As she would get the time to only deploy what was close to half of the current force she had.

"She is doing good!" Yet when he saw how her fleet acted, he couldn't help but commend her in his mind. She didn't blindly attack the Toranks fleets, but directly formed a spear head formation with her ships, attacking solely and mainly the caravan itself!

The caravan was the most precious thing the Toranks had. And attacking it directly from the very beginning was something that forced the Toranks hands without doubt.

The organised retreating Toranks fleets had to engage in a fierce battle against the lady nymph's fleet. And as she got the green light from Hye, even the promise to make up for any lost ships later on, she controlled the battle and made it quite bloody and challenging for the Toranks.

The Toranks tried their best to defend the caravan, and yet against an enemy who looked as suicidal more than a thug, they finally felt the danger if this weird battle continued.

[They are making weird moves at the rear!] Hye didn't need the warning from the lady nymph, as he already spotted such weird movement. All of sudden, one fleet disengaged from the ongoing battle, retreated to the end of the caravan.

It didn't end just at this, ships of that fleet started to take a specific line-up, the formation of a Lotus flower. Hye once spotted this and knew this was the supposedly secret weapon the Toranks had. Even if he couldn't tell what that was, he was very excited about such a development.

He slowly stood from his seat in his ship, walked closer to the screen in midair, while focusing all his attention over that spot of the universe.

"Come on, show me what you prepared as your last resort," he was curious to know. He was sure it was something deadly, but it wasn't the type to threaten the caravan.

That made him guess this type of weapon was more focused attack than the wide area of attack he expected before. This explained why they never used it against any enemy so far. As they needed to hit a single spot, one that would make the attacking enemy stop hunting the caravan and let it escape.

"It must be something that combines destruction with sealing mobility," Hye guessed this far, but couldn't guess anymore, "show me what you got! I'm sure the mighty Toranks won't just fare for a half assed weapon."

His wait didn't last for much longer. As the ships formed that lotus formation, some sort of a cannon appeared from the body of big sized ships.

The cannons didn't come out from any ship, but only the big in size, flagship calibre. Hye saw these cannons shine brightly, before some sort of a silver white shield appeared, encompassing the entire fleet back there.

"Now or never," yet after that, nothing much happened. Hye waited, waited for the deadliest strike to land. But after waiting for a few minutes, the hit never came. Instead, that shield started to slowly expand, covering up all the fleets on the Toranks side, weirdly pushing away all the hostile ships, while destroying many of them.

"This is it? Just a defensive barrier?!! You gotta be kidding me!" Hye couldn't believe this was the secret weapon the Toranks prepared for the caravan. Yet when he thought back about the main purpose of all this, he couldn't help but find this move making more sense.

Their purpose was to get the caravan far away from here. And using this way would ensure the caravan would run safely. Hye instructed the lady nymph to attack the shield. And as expected, the shield didn't even budge under the fierce and constant attacks coming from the lady nymph fleet.

On the other hand, the protected fleets and ships could easily attack the lady nymph's fleet, and in mere an hour they destroyed more than what they destroyed since the start of this battle.

[Make your fleet retreat] Seeing such a result made Hye order for a retreat.

[That's what I was thinking of as well] the lady nymph paused, [Do you think this is going to change anything? This shield… It makes me feel it's impossible to crack!]

[You did great job] Hye could read through the lines that she didn't say, [Making them reveal such a card is quite enough. Just keep your distance from the caravan]

[You want me to chase it?!] The lady nymph got surprised, then excited, [Don't take me wrong, I'm fully willing to keep attacking…]
