Chapter 1023 Using Ten Thousand Master To Make A Formation
When the fierce power from the ballistae was added, things became out of control for the enemies.
Every single bolt exploded, and a huge pillar of fire erupted. It wasn't only that, but the shockwave erupting from it was strong enough to push away all the enemies around in a large area, making it impossible for anyone to come near that area for many minutes.
With that support coming out to the stage, things became much easier for Sloth and his handful of selected teams to secure a path for the incoming masters from outside.
That wasn't all! Few of the masters pointed their ballistae toward the incoming army of monsters from afar. The monsters were still a long distance away, separated from them by mountains and hills. But with such fierce explosions, the already established paved routes got blocked by tons of rocks, falling from the mountains and hills around.
Not to mention they killed tons of dark masters using this. Watching all this unfolding didn't just direct a heavy blow to the dark masters around, but it inspired the fighting masters here with hope.
They could do it! They all could understand why William didn't do anything else but call for these masters to come. He wanted to make more of these grenades, and with them, this war could be won.
Yet they didn't go over their heads, and didn't think this would be an easy win. They all expected a brutal fight, one that they'd emerge victorious at the end after paying a heavy price for it.
William watched all this unfolding without saying anything. He knew and expected such a result, or else he wouldn't dare to call for his large number of guild masters here.
"Expand, let's push outward!" Using this moment of chaos and weakness of the enemy, William shouted and everyone followed. They were already pushing the enemies everywhere, and with his shout, they kept doing it harder.
They pushed the enemies back, covered more mountains and secured more valleys. This was the main aim of William from this shout. He wanted to secure more area for his incoming masters to reside in, work and operate without suffering from narrow space.
The early batches of the guild masters arrived. The first thing everyone thought William would ask them to do was to go inside the valleys, secure the areas inside, and start building defences inside. But unlike what they thought, this wasn't what William gave as his first order.
"Spread out, line the outer circle of our masters," he paused, taking his sword out, before adding as a valiant leader, "any dark master or a monster being on the verge of collapse, finish them using your strongest technique!"
The order looked bizarre in the eyes of all, but the masters who arrived here didn't care and hesitated, moving at once to do what he said.
And when they reached the frontline masters, everyone was curious about the value of such an order.
The masters coming here were all at gold grade or lower, not a single one was above that threshold. That left them hopeless and powerless in front of the strong enemies surrounding them.
However, when they started to do as he asked, when they started to attack the dark masters who were on the verge of dying, everyone could see why he asked these masters to do this.
If the two sides were fighting directly and head-on, then such an order would be like giving them a suicidal order. But that wasn't the case. These masters were protected by much stronger masters, and the latter were dealing with the defence and main offence.
When their targets grew weak, and were close to death, the masters behind them acted and dealt the last blow to kill these dark masters. This helped to save the masters at the forefront of a few spirit powers, let them have few moments to breathe, not to mention they also started to reposition themselves, meeting up with the incoming new waves of the dark masters, and then better deal with them.
Little change and help managed to bring those strong masters at the frontline a great aid. Seeing this made everyone realise something, this battle was going to be different, and William intended to show his true prowess as a prodigy this time.
Even his long-term friends knew they were going to witness something brand new this time, and they'd have the chance to see how truly special and different William was.
And that feeling deepened when he gave out his second order with the arrival of the second batch of his guild masters.
"Listen up, I want you to arrange yourselves in terms of a hundred, scatter around, take the formation of one hundred-headed star."
"Each master will stand over a single star head?" Sara asked, and William shook his head.
"The entire team of a hundred masters will stand together, forming a single star head."
"That means…" Everyone knew what William meant, and that made them startled, "You want to use ten thousand masters to form a single formation?"
"Formations are meant to be made out of a huge number of masters in the first place," William didn't have time nor strength to speak back to Sara and Berry, to explain everything to them, "Just make sure to cover up all the distance we control. Gold masters will lead the teams, will use their spirit sense to guide and direct everything."
"And?" Berry asked, "What will they do?"
"They won't," William's face turned ice cold, "I'll be the one doing everything here."
"You… You just came out of a coma…"
"Just do it!" William knew Berry was feeling terribly worried about him, but it wasn't the time to feel that. Everyone's safety was on the line here, and they had to do what they could to help.
As he said it, none of the two girls could dissuade him. They knew him long enough to know that if he was dead serious about doing something, then nothing could stop him from doing it.
