[Dammit!] Stark cursed before in the next few seconds, lots of masters acted. Those who were strong enough even used their pseudo flying techniques and flew in the air for a few hundred metres, to get closer from such scary fire.
Their combined effort didn't affect the leopards and the turtles much, but to fire they worked like magic. The wind that bellowed gave William the feeling as if a violent storm erupted in this part of the world.
Wind didn't just push the fire away from the city, but it also fiercely nourished and raged wildly. The fire spread over, touching more ores.
And like that the fire ocean and pillars that looked scary at first, started to grow wilder and fiercer, ending up spreading till the end of the horizon.
Not only that, with the help of wind, it also spread horizontally, burning more monsters as a result.
William didn't expect this, but he was happy when seeing lots of monsters coming to burn. Yet the only drawback and regret he had was that he didn't cover the entire area around the city with such ores.
If he did, then things would have been much easier to handle the upcoming charge.
This fire took around one tenth of the incoming monsters with fire and stopped them. It didn't just do that, it also reignited the same feel of confidence and dominance inside the city masters.
The incoming monster tide made them feel fear and doubt their ability to stop the upcoming monster tide.
As the monsters approached, the city masters tried to deal with the new turtle monsters. Yet they failed.
[Please tell me you got something to do with these weird turtles!] Lara and Stark spoke at the same time, making William smile in satisfaction.
"Do you remember the team of masters I took from you and you kept complaining about them? It's time for them to save the day," William said while holding their Bullets in his hands, "just make sure to take leopards out. And if you saw a turtle flipped on its back, kill it!"
[This…] Lara didn't get what he said, but Stark didn't care about understanding what he meant.
[Once a chance appears, we'll seize it!]
"Good," William then replaced their Bullets with Peter and Lang's, "Please tell me you are already on the ground."
[We are!]
[We know what to do, boss!]
"Great," William paused, "move first in a circle around the city. Don't delve deeper. You know your top priority is, so just focus on flipping more turtles and leave the rest to the city masters."
[Ok boss!] the two said at the same time, before the final showdown of this war started.
At this moment, William stopped what he was doing. He was just behind the raging fire, and that made him quite safe for at least the next half an hour.
He watched the monsters coming from other directions arrive close to the city walls. In return for that, torrents of attacks landed over them, all got blocked successfully by the giant scaled turtles.
Then a small team of masters could be spotted in the middle of all this. They got seen not because they were strong, but because they were moving in the middle of monsters, and then turtles started rolling on their backs, even sent to fly at various occasions.
It was a really shocking and pleasant scene to behold. This group of masters were in thousands, yet they looked so tiny compared to the giant monsters around. Despite that, these tiny humans managed to be the attracting point in all this war.
Everyone focused on them, even monsters. The moment they started to affect the turtles, more leopards started to run towards them.
"Time to see how good you really are," William didn't just depend on Stark to take care of this team. He sent Charley back after the initiation of the sea of fire from before.
If things went wrong, then with Charley, these leopards wouldn't do much damage.
But William's worries were groundless. The moment his selected team moved and acted, the city masters responded with their own move. Under the direct orders of Stark, a team of high end masters got formed and moved at once to save the team at the ground.
The leopards acted to stop Peter and Lang's teams, and the city masters moved to protect them. In such a dire and critical moment, things finally got saved by the masters of the city.
The city masters kept fighting leopards for days, and they got used to how they fought, what their weaknesses were, and how to get rid of them in the simplest and fastest ways.
So it wasn't a surprise for the incoming sea of leopards to get stopped and even lose much of their numbers. At the same time, Stark made the city masters on the wall cover up the area around Peter's and Lang's team, to cut any route for the leopards to gather up.
Seeing this made William nod in satisfaction. As no leopard managed to come close from his team, more turtles got flipped on their backs.
The way to do it was quite simple actually. The earth based masters had to dig tunnels under the ground, reaching to the soft spots underneath each turtle. Then the wind based masters would simply release their storm like techniques, forcing these turtles to flip on their backs, or even fly in the air for hundreds of metres.
It looked simple, but it was indeed quite tricky to control. William knew if the wind-based masters delayed their actions for a few seconds, then the turtles would pass over the tunnels dug by other masters. And if the wind based masters didn't release enough powerful wind, then the giant and extremely heavy turtles wouldn't budge an inch.
William expected them to fail at first, but luckily, they didn't fail that much. Not to mention most of this was thanks to the overestimation of these masters to the right number of masters working together to flip a single turtle.
