I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1033 What Brought The New Lord Here?

"Let's go," without even waiting for that lord to make his mind, I gave the order for my forces to break their formation and retreat.

I rose high up in the air, with the intention of leaving this lord for now. If he was so stubborn, then I'd better let him live this time before coming at him another time.

Killing him now was a waste. It was better for me to wait. After all, I got where his territory was.

"I yield!"

Just when I was about to move away, I heard such a loud shout coming from down below. I stopped my chariot and saw a long and handsome looking young man walking slowly out of the large army down below.

And with that, I heard lots of shouts and ruckus, as his forces and trusted aidees tried to dissuade him from lowering his head to me.

I slowly led my chariot down. And there I got to see it in a better light.

He wasn't that much older than me, perhaps a couple of years at most five. He wore all black, black armour, black helmet, black boots… Even his cape was black.

And unlike this black, his hair, eyebrows, and faint beard were all dark red in colour.

"What's your name?" I asked as I stopped my chariot not too close to him.

I still didn't bind him to a contract. And if he wanted to fight, then it was a good chance for him to do so when I was this close and seemingly lowered my guard against him right now.

But I didn't lower my guard. Dealing with such a resourceful young man was indeed enough to make me wary and cautious of him.

"I'm Lang," he said while moving his eyes around to silence his trusted men, "I want to submit to the lord, but I want to keep my land as well."

"How can we sort this out then?" I looked interested in him.

I knew the system didn't have any control over here. The system was present, but it couldn't enforce anything over anyone.

Right here, in this world, systems were just like any other tool I got, with power to aid without any authority to rule over anyone.

"We can form a blood bond," he paused, "it's done by using a technique to link our two souls together under some sort of an oath."

"Why do I feel like you are taking me for a kid who knows nothing in this world?" When I heard what he said, I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry, but it's a fact that you are still a newbie and new to this world."

"I didn't mean that," I shook my head, "do you think I'd fall for this trap? Trying to force a blood bond with an oath? Won't that make the two of us equal?"

"This… Aren't we going to be allies?"

"Allies? Tsk, you are still playing your dirty games even when cornered to such against a dead end," I paused, while controlling my chariot to rise high in the air, "sorry, but I hate to waste my time like this, especially when a dead man was trying to cut a bargain he won't get."

"Wait…" he shouted, but I didn't stop my chariot. He was desperate, and I could see this from the look over his face when I moved my chariot away.

It seemed what I said before was true, and his territory was under attack.

"I yield! I'm telling you that I'm going to follow you!" he kept shouting but I never stopped my chariot. He said that last time and yet he tried to aim for an equal exchange.

I didn't trust any of what he said, especially when he never mentioned a part where the terms of our future relation would be stated.

Taking an oath using blood bonds? That seemed quite dangerous without doubt.

"Hey, hey! Wait, why are you in such a hurry? It's my territory, not yours, who is on fire at the moment!"

And just as I decided to ignore him and keep moving towards the opposite direction of the big war in the far north east, a funny thing happened.

"Hey! Come down here and let's talk as any two decent lords should!"

"Come on! I'm chasing after you to just get a chance to speak and negotiate! Don't run away like this or you'll look like a coward!"

"Stop running already, I just want to speak."

Well, it was indeed a funny situation. That dude kept chasing after my chariot and my forces retreating away from that lost territory.

As he chased after me in such a funny way, his forces started to move and chase after him as well.

And that left only one army behind, the one that belonged to the dead lord with all big forces fighting over his territory.

I didn't get worried about losing them, as I already gained three other armies. Right now my army size is a bit more than two million strong.

It was enough to aim at a green or white grade territory, but not enough to take part in the brutal ongoing war back there.

Not yet!

"Just wait, I want to submit to you and be your lackie. Don't tell me you won't accept me! You just asked me twice to follow you."

As we finally reached a green grade territory, I stopped my forces and summoned Lucas and his soulers besides the fallen gods.

I was going to take away this territory while that sneaky bastard kept talking.

"What brought the new lord here? Are you perhaps after my land?"

As I ignored that talkative lord from behind, a new one came from the front. He wasn't riding any flying monster, but rode over a grand bear that was cladded in black gold armour with spikes.

It looked quite fierce. And that lord was a middle aged man, one who seemed to get to see lots of the world already.
