I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 1423 Drums!

Gradually the entire situation here changed and became the focus of the enemy troops in this region. The enemy troops weren't in good formation at first, but after an hour, they started to form themselves and lined up, coming at me in a more organised fashion.

The counter move I used was to increase the amount of energy I sucked and directed towards my tripod artefact. The increased energy helped in relieving lots of pressure over my side, and even when the enemy came prepared, they couldn't achieve anything worth mentioning.

On the contrary, when my forces absorbed the shock of the enemy's arrival and stood their ground firmly, they started to push the enemy backwards, killing lots of them at fast speed.

This took almost five hours to happen, and then the enemy started to witness what could be best described as their nightmare.

[I cleared my zone] and just after a couple hours, I got such a message first from Sara.

[Wait, I'm coming back for you] I already saved their shields' locations into my staff. And so it was a piece of cake for me to return back to her place.

"Nice job!" The moment I arrived, I noticed that the entire zone was emptied from any enemy. The ground was tilled with enemy corpses, and many of my warriors got killed as well.

Sara was simply lunatic at fighting. And it was expected to lose most of her forces in return to achieving such a fast victory. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

But when I saw more than two thirds of her forces standing erect, I couldn't help but comment in praise.

"I just followed your advice," she shrugged, "come on, give me one more zone to kill."

"Sure," I left a grand area nearby my generals shields to use as an expansion place for all of them.

I went to the nearest place and used my pillar to create new shields that merged with her shields and expanded to cover up a grander space.

"Have fun!" I said before taking my leave. The place I added to her zone was already filled to the brim with many of the enemy forces, with few locusts and more formidable foes.

After all, the locusts were mainly gathered around the grand circular gathering of my shields. And the forces here were part of the troops who hurriedly retreated and went far away from my circular trap.

As I knew she was going to have it a bit harder this time, I left over another batch of warriors before starting the merge.

I doubled her forces, and intended to do so with other generals as well.

One by one, they started to tell me about their success in clearing their sides. They lost different parts of their forces, some lost one third, others lost one tenth, and one like the jumper lost two thirds of his forces!

His luck was really so damn bad! The enemies he faced were mostly formed of elites and not just locusts like other zones.

I didn't know how bad the luck this dude had, to end up having a zone formed of the enemy leading base of this region.

Tsk! That dude was indeed a magnet for trouble without doubt!

After doing all this, I returned again to the frontline. During the time I was gone, my forces didn't suffer that much.

The loss of my boosted artefact effects didn't greatly impact them. After all, my forces got the momentum and upper hand. Besides, I never went for more than half an hour each time.

I started to push them forward, forming shields around areas where new reinforcements arrived from far away to intercept their paths, force them to divide, and lose their formation until reaching the grand battle zone.

After twelve hours of doing so, I decided to visit my warriors, the ones I left in the circular zones I formed from before.

As expected, they managed to clear all the enemies already inside their shields. Their losses weren't that bad, the worst lost one fifth of their entire numbers.

"Follow me outside," as I got such a grand area cleared, I repeated the same, used my shields to surround another region nearby, expanding my turf to new lands.

Then I held my horn, and ordered all of them to pass from one shield to another, following my chariot towards the new shields.

Then I let them swarm the shields surrounding tons of enemy forces inside, taking them in batches.

I knew using such a tactic would speed things up for sure. And so I decided to add more of these circular regions nearby, to allow them to take their time in taking down these shields while I was busy dealing with a hectic battlefield.

*Doom!* *Doom!*

And just after I returned back to the frontline again, a weird loud bangs appeared like thunder exploding in my ears.

"These... Are these drums of war?" I could pick up a rhythm, something that wasn't usual in the apocalypse.

Drums were used by few ancient human civilizations, leading their armies into wars, giving them orders, and raising morale.

It was uncommon to hear drums in any place in the apocalypse. I once heard one human overlord who came from the East had armies led by drums.

*Doom!* *Doom!*

The drums kept releasing their scary noises, and from that I could tell whoever was using these drums, they were coming closer to here.

"I should expect something grand and brand new, right?" I muttered to myself, while preparing for a grand battle.

The sounds of drums kept coming and rising up slowly, as if it was gathering up momentum or something. After just a few minutes, I could tell that there were hundreds of thousands of these drums and that was why they caused such terrifying thunderous noises. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

If just the number of the drums was in such high count, how about the armies they led towards here? I expected tens of millions coming, and that wasn't a problem.
