Chapter 1128 The Final Battle
The moment he got done laying down and editing the formations, he didn't hesitate to speak up:
"Listen, release all the formations," he paused before adding, "Don't wait for five minutes, all of the masters with the right spirit elements shall work together, constantly activating one formation after another."
He knew as he was watching everyone, that everyone was also watching him. The moment he said these words tons of doubts appeared in the minds of the high-end masters.
"After exhausting all the formations, retreat all the way to be twenty kilometres away from the edge of the whole area," he added, trying to let them get the point from all this.
He wasn't asking them to make a final stand, but just to take down as many enemies as possible before they'd retreat and barricade in this area.
Right now the entire area was looking like a real honeycomb. And William didn't just make others dig it like this to make the formations or alter the existing ones.
In fact, he did this primarily as a form of changing the terrain and making it advantageous to all of them.
As he expected, they all got what he wanted to do here. So they started to retreat while releasing a barrage of deadly attacks everywhere.
The moment many masters joined hands, continuously releasing their techniques, the formations started to get depleted fast. At most, a single formation would last for half an hour instead of many hours. They arranged things together, making sure to not retreat and leave a few of them behind.
On the other hand, tons of enemies fell into the hands of these brutal attacks. As they retreated, it felt like they were leaving behind a long bloody trail. The process that should have taken two weeks took roughly an entire day before they finally reached the area of the holes.
Yet they did that at the cost of killing tons of enemies, and that made everyone feel much better.
"I hope you are preparing something nice for these bastards," Sloth said the moment he met with William. He and others retreated, and walked over the still standing ground, while finally meeting William twenty kilometres off the edge of the whole area as he said before.
"Are you ok?" William ignored everyone, turned to Anjie, and asked. She suffered a few wounds here and there, like others, and got covered with a thick dried layer of blood, one that came mainly from the enemies she killed.
"I want to get done from here," she slowly said, feeling a bit warm inside from his words, "I hate this place."
"Me too," William smiled, before looking at the distance, where a dense wave of enemies were running as fast as they could towards here, "but we need to make something first, to make sure everyone up there is safe."
"Don't tell me you want to stand here and defend this place using these," Fang pointed towards the ground they were standing on, referring to other places like this all over the area.
"This isn't the plan," William shook his head, pointed towards a few spots, and added, "I made enough formations to kill the enemies for one more day. Make sure to release your attacks continuously, the same way you did it before."
"This… It won't be enough," Sloth sighed, "this way is great, but we need to take it slowly if we need to kill all of them, or at least kill much more…"
"We don't need these to kill them," William interrupted Sloth, "we just need enough fuel to run the formations I made."
"..."
Many wanted to ask him about what he truly meant, but they knew they had little time to waste on speaking about this. And many already got the way William used to do things, not explaining himself using words but actions.
They were right, if they asked, then William would have asked them to wait, watch, and see. "Rest and heal for half an hour, they need time to cross that distance and arrive here," Sloth said to everyone, before turning to William, "I hope you know what you are doing. We are all tired and exhausted, very close to dropping the towel."
"Not in my presence," William slowly said, and then rested with everyone else. He wasn't any less stressed out than others, and he even got the confidence in winning this to lean his head over Anjie's lap, resting himself for a few hours.
He wasn't needed to join the upcoming battle. The moment the enemies crossed the distance to the honeycomb area, they started to delay a lot, even many of them got pushed by others coming from behind, falling inside the holes.
Masters watching this using spirit sense couldn't help but wonder if this was all calculated in William's plan or if it just was coincidental. As the enemies started crossing the solid bridges of land, they still suffered from more losses.
The dark masters were smart enough to evade going near the edges, but the monsters weren't. Many pushed each other, pushing many all the way down to the bottom of these holes.
If such a fall wasn't enough to kill the high-end monsters, it left grave wounds behind. The ones who survived this couldn't stand straight and didn't have a way to climb their way back to the top. And to make things much worse, more monsters were getting pushed, falling all the time, landing on their heads, crushing many of them underneath.
The entire situation was quite chaotic, and seeing this made everyone feel the high odds for their win.
This place might lack any formidable defensive structure, but it got the terrain modeled out to be quite scary and deadly to the incoming enemies.
The enemies kept losing more numbers the further they marched, and by the end, only small groups of thousands arrived to meet the masters.
"We don't need to activate the formation to take these down," Everyone decided to not waste the formations over these low numbers, and started to fight them using their weapons and techniques.
