I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 1337 Something Is Fishy

That was in case they were moving at the same speed as my forces. I recalled one point which Silverlining once told me about. He mentioned in the middle of his long talk about the Silence race that they were strong enough to contend with the end game level of elites from the apocalypse and crush them down with part of their strength.

The forces who came here before used arrays to weaken the Silence race members. And even with all these factors, they failed to gain a single victory for such a long time.

There were lots of variables in this comparison. And when I thought about this at this moment, I couldn't help but feel something was off here. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

How come much stronger forces than mine fail in forcing the enemy to show up their second layer of defence for all this time? Was there something Silverlining missed?

I previously thought something was fishy about this situation but never had thought deeply about this like now.

As the clash with the Silences was impending and knocking on my doors, I found it weirder the more I thought about it.

If there was something that I didn't count for, then it'd be too late to make plans to counter it.

"Should I retreat and give up or what?" The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt.

If the enemy got a hidden card that Silverlining didn't know or missed to tell me, then things would end up quite bad for me.

During this dilemma, I decided to go for the first option I had.

I decided to start up my preparations at the points I saved before.

As for what I planned to do, I was going to use my shields, my warriors, my techniques, and my weapons.

So far I kept my weapons stored up into my inventory and never had time to use them. I wanted to keep them for the second layer of defence. But as these locusts finally joined the fight, I got nothing to hold my hands back.

The weapons were deadly to the second wave, but not that deadly to the first. Except for the fire energy coming out from the explosions the missiles and grenades would create, nothing else would harm those Silences.

It didn't make any sense to use these weapons to handle the Silence race. However with the presence of locusts, they got a place to show their might at.

My plan was simple; I wouldn't just aim towards the Silence race but also point my guns towards the locusts.

Doing this would help my forces back at the central zones to fight the locusts on equal grounds, or even have a slight advantage over them.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to stop the silent race for a long time, and many of these would find their ways to my shielded zones at the centre.

That meant my forces had to fight two different enemies at the same time. And so it'd be better to relieve part of that pressure over them, to enable them to compete against such fierce assault in more perfect way.

In fact I still haven't used my zombie orbs yet. I also planned to use them against the locusts. But even when the locusts joined the war, I didn't consider using them.

And I got a good grade for that. If the enemy had a hidden weapon or something Silverlining didn't tell me, then the odds of my retreat and giving up on this entire golden quest would be quite high.

I wanted to limit my losses here.

[They are here!] And just as I waited for my forces to arrive, I received this message from Lily.

In fact I didn't need her to tell me anything. I saw my forces coming from everywhere, filling up the line of horizon, drawing a growing black line that kept getting thicker with the passage of time.

"Time to act," I took out my staff and activated the stored bookmark of this zone.

The moment I appeared at the other end, a grand and scary scene filled the entire world around.

Creatures who ran so damn fast were filling the entire ground like a terrifying tsunami wave.

The moment I saw them, a very weird familiar feeling grew up in my heart. They were weirdly like the zombies in the fifth quest, and that made me believe more in my earlier guess.

The system higher ups didn't just arrange the apocalypse quests based on their desire or even on a whim. They did all this to train the races all over the universe, to be better prepared against different enemies and scenarios.

Even the locust waves here were arranged against by the zombie quest.

And that meant they already knew about the presence of these locusts. Someone managed to break through the first layer of defence before, not like what Silverlining told me.

Realising the mistake Silverlining committed, I felt more unease about the other puzzlement. If he was wrong about one thing, then he might have told me, or missed telling me, more valuable intel.

Dammit! I clenched my fists and looked at the endless tsunami running towards one direction, the direction I came from, my shielded area at the centre of this zone.

"That's quite weird..." while I absorbed the shock of such a terrifying scene, and started to closely watch these creatures.

They ran on many limbs, looking more like spiders. They seemed to lose any reason, even to the extent of jumping over each other and even wounding and killing each other in the process.

They just wanted one thing, to cross the ground fast and arrive towards the hastily retreating forces of mine. And that was typically like the mindless actions of zombies at the fifth quest.

But when I observed their speed, I was surprised to realise that their speed wasn't that high to begin with.

I expected a fast train like speed, or a bullet like speed. I estimated such speed based on the facts that race members had high stats and more strength and speed than mine.
