Chapter 1136 Stop Them!
As for leaving this place and joining them up there, it was pointless. First, they didn't have much force to make a difference up there. Not to mention once they left here, it'd be hard to return back down here.
If the enemies noticed their intentions to come down here, then they'd rally everything they had, and fortify the landing points at this place. So it'd be like falling directly into the enemies' trap.
The only path ahead of William was by cutting any way for the enemy to reach the surface. Then the enemy would have to activate the switching and portal ground formation up there at the ceiling, move the masters down here, and let them face the enemies coming out from the two gates.
At the same time, the endless enemies that went up there would return back through the holes. It wasn't the best approach for the enemy, and that was what made William take such trouble in handling the bridges before doing anything else.
He had to force their hands here. As the masters realised part of what he truly had in his mind, they started to scatter around. Half went to surround the bridges, while others started to attack them.
Every bridge was around half a kilometre in radius, built out of rocks, rising up in spiral fashion. To take them down, all they needed to do was to hit the lower parts of these bridges. And then the bridges would either crumble and crack, fall to the ground, or they'd just suffer the lowermost parts of them.
The moment they attacked the bridges, the enemy leaders all went speechless and froze out of shock. They watched William and others wrap things at the first group of bridges before they headed towards the next group.
"Stop them! Everyone must rally and group, march and stop those maniacs!" the wolf headed Transformer shouted the moment he saw William and other masters getting closer to the second group of bridges.
They all got what William and others down there wanted to do. And if they let them have it their way, then they'd lose everything they built so far.
"Told you, but you didn't listen…" the Nightmare monster shook its head, "you didn't listen…"
"Shut up!" the wolf Transformer, the leader of all, shouted and silenced the talkative Nightmare monster, "I do really hate you! You two deserve to face the same fate…"
"Hey, I'm on your side!" The Nightmare monster didn't like the comment of the wolf Transformer, and showed an arrogance suiting its place in this evil group.
"Hmph, so prove yourself worthy and think of ways to solve this…"
"None of this would have happened if you listened up to me…"
"Screw you! Know what? I don't want to hear anything from you again!" The wolf Transformer couldn't believe how silly and naively fixed minded the Nightmare monster was. And so it dropped any idea of listening to its advice, and focused instead over its friends and comrades.
The only thing they could do right now was to stop any attempt to reinforce the surface, direct everything at the direction of the masters trying to destroy the bridges. Yet to rally the scattered forces, the ones that were already going up the bridges or gathered around, it'd take much longer than what they expected.
By the time they gathered enough high end dark masters and monsters, William and others already took down three more bridge groups. Taking these didn't just cut the path over the enemies to reach the surface, but they also sufferent tons of losses when any of these bridges cumbled and crashed, fell to the ground.
More enemies fell with more bridges taken down. Yet soon enough, things started to turn for the worse for everyone. It wasn't just the forces the enemy leaders tried their best to gather in the shortest time to stop them, but it was also the forces that came constantly from these gates.
"Why won't we take them down?" Sloth asked the question that everyone had in mind. If they did that, then they'd have deprived the enemy of constant supply of forces. At the same time, they'd relieve themselves from a huge amount of pressure.
Even with Sloth directly asking this, William never answered. He kept his silence while fighting, doing nothing but trying to cut a path towards the next group of bridges no matter what!
The enemy built tens of such groups, and they just took down five of them so far. It wasn't enough to cut the connection between here and the surface, and that is what made William think of using something else.
He thought of using the Troll. And yet to do so, he and others needed to clear an area and attack the bridges with the Troll. Such an attack wouldn't take down all the bridges, but taking at least half was feasible.
Yet it wasn't easy to do such a thing now. They were now surrounded from all corners by enemies, and many of them were quite a headache to deal with.
"Don't try to kill them," William suddenly shouted, "just push them away, keep moving towards the next group of bridges…"
"This is a bad idea… We will end up surrounded by enemies we won't handle!" everyone knew this was asking for suicidal! Letting their high end enemies stay alive and have the time to group with others? This was by far the silliest idea William presented to them so far.
"Just trust me, I know what I'm doing," yet William still persisted, "when we arrive at the next group of bridges, wait for my orders…"
He didn't say anything about his plans, and just kept using everything he got to clear a path towards the next group of bridges. They followed him, while not accepting what he asked them to do.
Yet as he moved forward steadily, they had to keep up. Even if this looked crazy, Sloth and Fang stood by William's side and convinced everyone to take such a risk.
