"On me!" the moment he recognised that tower and he knew what he had to do. The moment any master spotted such an infamous war weapon, he had to first do everything in his power and take it down.
William called on his four monstrous weapons, and together the five of them cut through waves of enemies without any hesitation.
"What is he doing?" as everyone was watching what their master was doing, they all got startled by what he was doing. Instead of heading towards the gate nearby, lowering the bridge, and letting them in, he headed directly towards the heart of that fort.
"Is he trying to kill more of them to make our entry a bit easier?" another guild master asked before the stronger ones started to educate them.
"He won't let us in," this was the same conclusion all the strong masters here reached, as William's friends, "These enemies… The weakest is at mid-stage dark gold grade. It's a battle we can win, not something we should get ourselves involved within the first place!"
"But…" Barry turned to Anjie, and the latter sighed.
"She is right," Sara hated saying such words, but she knew like many others here that what William was doing was right, "he won't let us in. and he had to deal with them himself."
"Alone?!" Berry wasn't the only one terribly worried over William, but she realised like others how futile and hopeless it was to dream about barging their way in there to help.
If they ever did that, they'd not just fail to help but would turn into a heavy burden on him. "We need to do something to help him," she turned to Anjie and Lara, before adding in a tone that held more plea than ever, "Can you call for your strongest masters here? Can you help in saving him?"
"I'll call you Sloth!"
"I'll call the city leaders, this place must be burnt before the arrival of those monsters."
The two girls didn't just say their pieces, they took out Message Papers and started to relay the news over.
At the same time, others went around, gathering up an elite force of all the strongest masters in their guild. There wasn't enough to win the war, but there was enough to help William and relieve lots of pressure off him.
As his friends were trying their best to help, William was dealing with tons of enemies, blocking his path toward that Troll tower.
He faced fierce resistance from them. Even with the presence of four monstrous weapons on his side, on the same level of power as him, using his techniques, it was quite hard to move forward.
"F*ck it!" As he knew their aim was to delay him until that tower would charge up, something that usually took around ten up to half an hour, he didn't hesitate anymore, took his bow and arrows, before releasing a rain of his explosive arrows armed with grenades.
The moment he released his newly made grenades using the arrows, waves of deadly explosions erupted all over the place. Each explosion was enough to cover hundreds of metres of distance in a big dome-shaped explosion. And that greatly cut the influx of enemies towards him, lowering the pressure he felt to a high degree.
"Keep pushing forward," as if he was shouting to an army following him, William shouted to push himself forward. He was moving under great pressure, facing every enemy as he was facing a life and death moment.
They were strong, all of them were hellishly strong. They all used deadly dark-based techniques, ones that he had to counter by repeatedly dashing around, and landing his Holy Sword technique when he got the chance.
As the grenades exploded, he didn't hesitate to lead his monstrous weapons toward them. He carefully landed them to create enough path for him and his weapons to pass through, leaving narrow space for his enemies to stand.
But he didn't know the fierceness of his newly developed grenades until he used them. They expanded much further than he expected, and that left many paths with very narrow space, and many others got obliterated as the explosive balls merged together.
His grenades kept releasing deadly explosions for long minutes, and this was his long-awaited window to pass through all this.
Just as he passed through the narrow paths created by his grenades, his spirit sense noticed something. He spread out his spirit sense to pick up any new surprise these enemies would prepare for him. And yet the first weird thing he picked wasn't from the enemy side, but from his guild's direction.
"They are coming!" He spotted a group of almost one thousand running towards here, led by all of his friends, even Karoline came. She was considered the weakest one in his friend circle, and yet she dared to follow others inside.
"Tsk!" He knew they'd struggle to cross that trench if they got anything to help them cross it. He could guess their plan already, using earth masters to build up a bridge over that trench. It was a simple plan, one with tons of flaws.
The greatest flaw came from the trench itself. It got corrosive fluid, one that could eat up anything, including rocks! And that meant they had to run fast over the bridge, while the earth-based masters would keep building and repairing the damaged bridge.
At the same time, the enemies on top of the walls wouldn't let them build that bridge and walk towards it without intervening or fighting back. The area they selected to cross was one that got hit by that Troll Flame hit. It crushed down an entire section of the walls, ending up creating a big hole out there.
The path looked paved for them to cross, but there were still tons of masters standing on top of the walls. And those were the main problems they'd have to face.
