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 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...]
