Chapter 1073 The Grand-Scale Teleportation Portal!
The more responses about not spotting anyone returned to them, the more they felt gloomy inside. They became surer now that William nailed the right scenario they were going to face, and that was the ugliest scenario any could think of.
Starting a war at the home turf? In an area unknown to all? While the enemy had the home advantage? Pretty prepared for them? This was the worst thing any master would hope for.
"We are here," Sloth stood at the edge of that area, which was a huge open space, without a single hill or rock anywhere around for tens of kilometres. The kingdom sent an army of one hundred thousand masters with them, filled with lots of strong masters. And they all stood around that area, covering an area of a few kilometres.
"May you have the honour then," William turned to Panther, and the latter took a deep breath, before moving in front of the tens of thousands of masters, heading to the centre of the open space surrounded by the tons of masters.
To open the gate, he only needed to drop his blood and allow his spirit power to activate what was left there for him. This was what he saw in his vision, what William also saw in the fate and destiny world as well.
Panther didn't actually want to do it, as he felt bad about what was yet to come. At the last moment, he felt great hesitation, turned around and looked at the faces of everyone here, then stopped at William.
"Just do it, everything is going to be fine," William slowly said, in a low voice, but Panther could hear it all. He nodded, and turned to the empty ground, before dropping his blood over there.
And then, magic happened!
William expected a fierce earthquake or something, the same as everyone else. But all that happened was a myriad of flashes of bright lights appeared, then expanded to the sky, covered the ground, and in a flash they all vanished.
The next moment, they all found themselves standing in a grand space, one that was surrounded by mountains on the far horizon. They appeared in full numbers, and surprisingly as it might seem, William and others could spot the king's tent at a far distance using their spirit sense.
"Damn! This gate brought everyone here!!!" This was what everyone thought about, and that made William think about something else.
"A grand-scale teleportation portal? What a nice touch that damn bastard did!" He recognised the type of portal that took everyone here, and that wasn't the main issue now.
"We came, but where is the enemy?" Many asked this while Sloth and Panther went to the king's tent to see what they should do. They didn't forget to send out scouting teams, including William and Anjie.
William decided to scout the new area here first and didn't see any point in going back to meet the king.
"You were right," Anjie said while trying to catch up to William. He didn't just run, but kept using his dash technique, heading straight towards the far away mountain region, "but why are you going ahead of everyone else?"
She was puzzled by this. William felt like he wasn't running to check things out, but running away for his life!
"I want to see the entire situation myself," he got an idea about what this place was, what the enemy prepared here, yet he wanted to be sure of this.
The two kept running towards the faraway mountains for an hour! The area they crossed was very massive, looking much bigger than what it seemed from their initial spots.
"Damn! Why did they have to make it this huge? Why not just come for us?" she was panting while leaning on her knees, looking around as they finally arrived near the mountains.
It looked as if the two of them were standing in front of a huge rocky wall or something! There were narrow valleys between the mountains, looking like gaps or holes there, twisting right and left in a dangerous way.
"This is their aim then," as William arrived here, he could see what was waiting for them beyond the mountains. He could see an endless number of monsters and dark masters, all on top of the mountains and beyond.
"What? They are just standing there without moving! Are they nuts?"
"No, you don't get it," William slowly shook his head, adding in a heavy tone, "we came in, but where is the exit? It lies beyond all this. And to go there, we need to cross all of this…"
The moment he said it, she got everything. And without feeling it, she gasped in horror and fear.
"This… this is pretty damn bad!" She got what the enemies planned for them. They had to cross these mountains, either by climbing or passing through the narrow and dangerous paths in between. Either way, they were going to screw it big this time!
"Tell me you have a plan!" she turned to William, knowing that if there was hope, any hope, then it'd come from him, not anyone else.
"Just spread the word behind," William slowly said, "let the army of masters stay there, not come here. And I want all the masters who can forge to be gathered at one spot, in the heart of everyone…" he paused before seriously adding, "I want all the ores any master here had to be gathered and delivered to the artisans. If they want to fight us using this circle of death trap, then I'll show them the might of human grand war weapons in front of this!"
She literally got nothing of what he planned to do, and yet she felt he knew what he was doing, knew this trap, and had the right method to crack through all this. And she was right.
"What about you?" she turned to him, and he evilly smirked.
