So it was expected to have such valuable items stored somewhere outside the city. Thomas and others decided to first inspect the city, before going out and searching the areas around.
William received the news from many of his friends already, mostly his girls. "These hotties… They are competing even on whom to contact me first…" he shook his head, not in the mood to even smile about this.
He went through the scrolls he got about the spirit world and yet didn't find anything useful. He got that dealing with that spirit was going to be hard, so hard to fight it using the same ways masters used to. And he didn't find anything or any hint about how to harm these spirits.
"It's good I have much time before going out. They'll complete everything in one week, and before sorting things out, they'll take a few more days as well. I'll move when the monsters come to the city. Crushing more waves will hurt that man even more…"
He was sure that man wasn't at the gold grade at all. His worst worries were that man would turn out to be at the pinnacle of power. So waiting a little more and letting that man get weakened was the best course of action he could think of.
Besides, he wouldn't dare to go and confront that man without having a method to deal with that spirit. He didn't dream about killing it, but just wanted to find a way to fight back and preserve his life.
"It's better to scan through all the scrolls I have then… Perhaps I'll find something about a technique or a unique way of fighting, one that can help me against that spirit…"
He didn't find any clue at all in the scrolls regarding the spirit world. He just needed a clue, a spark of inspiration to guide him towards the right path, then he'd start devising a new strategy or even invent a new technique to overcome this ordeal.
So he kept closing on himself, going through all the scrolls he gained from the other world. At the same time, he kept track of what his friends, team, and city leaders were doing out there.
The news spread like wildfire among the city's citizens. They came here to run away from such nightmares, and that was the main issue that worried all the city leaders who devised and agreed on this plan.
They feared the city would suffer from major relocation, yet that didn't happen! The masters and normal people who came here already enjoyed peace for a long time in the city. And without realising it, this city became like their home, safe haven, the heaven they all dreamt to have in such a brutal world.
So the moment they heard about a threat coming towards their homeland, they got all stirred and riled up. Endless calls for arms spread all over the city, and normal people even volunteered the work of building more defences, moving out any weapons, gears, and supplies to the walls and to places outside the city.
The master community was the most active. They might have selected this place to get away from all this madness, but they got a long break already, enough to let them welcome such a challenge with wide arms.
They started to form fighting teams like old days as if they were going to explore the world and face monsters. The hype started to grow even more when news spread about sending teams formed of high-end masters to stop the monster army and delay them.
This move that targeted something else was seen as a glorious sacrifice from these masters to help those in the city to get prepared, strengthen the defences, lay down more traps, and such matters.
As news spread about everything happening here to various places in the kingdom and continent, tons of masters got hyped up by such news.
In recent years, masters have become addicted to rallying up and attacking their enemies. Be it dark masters or monsters, they started to not fear any.
On top of that, the moment the news spoke about the name of William and the Fox guild, more masters made up their minds. In past events, the key player and the main instigator for such a new phenomenon.
In the eyes of many masters, William and his Fox guild were the role model they admired, the courageous and brave masters who dared to stand up against many enemies, and win in the end!
Hearing just their name made all the masters confident in their victory. No matter how the odds were, William always prevailed with his guild over anything.
As the various high-end masters went out to execute their part of the plan, a flood of masters rushed in from the portal zone. Seeing this made the city leaders speechless for a long time before they actually hoped for their city to get attacked in the end by swarms of monsters.
If that happened, and they managed to win in the end, then things would roll in their favour. Their city wasn't going to be seen just as a safe spot, but it'd also be seen as a strong fort for all masters in the world, one that could stand its ground and face any tsunami without falling, a tall mountain in front of any terrifying storm.
The aim of the city leaders shifted all of a sudden from just seeing through the reality of what Lara claimed and getting more glory and attention to their city. And as such, all of them started to hope what Lara claimed to be true, and that the expected monster tide would strike again.
William was still busy reading through all the scrolls. Going through everything was indeed quite stressful, and yet he persisted to read everything, not missing a single scroll or any information mentioned there no matter how unimportant it seemed.
"They are getting excited about this, I can't blame any of these leaders…"
