"Let's do it your way then," Sloth went away to collect a team of elites, and William also contacted his friends and team.
He wasn't doing this out of charity, but to establish a better foundation and reputation for his guild branch in this world.
In the next few hours, news spread all over the marching masters. A team formed of two thousand dark gold masters went out, led by none other than the starting to pick up fame Sloth.
"Will William also be with him?" The leaders of various armies noticed this point as well. It wasn't just Sloth, but also William went with him. In the eyes of others, Sloth might be the most mysterious person in the world. But to those who dealt with Sloth and William, they knew it was the latter who was far more mysterious than the former.
"Are we going to fight the entire dark masters alone?!!!"
On the distance away from the marching masters, the small team that got handpicked by Sloth and William were now getting closer to the Black Holes region. As they were moving light, and the entire team was formed of formidable masters and William's rich team, it was expected for them to go full speed.
They used their fastest techniques without reservations, using elixirs and potions to replenish their lost spirit power. The distance that could be covered by the slowly marching army in a day was crossed in mere hours by them.
They didn't need to slow down or wait for weaker masters to catch up. And as they advanced in such a speedy way, Sloth finally told everyone what they came here for.
William already told his friends and team about this. He didn't just bring those, but also selected a few of the ones who were supposed to follow him to the tiny world later on.
He selected the best out of prodigies, expecting to witness something remarkable out of them.
"We have to save everyone by doing this," Sloth said what William told him a few hours ago. The plan was simple, if the enemy was trying to crush their morals using rumours and false news, then the simplest way to counter this was by setting an example.
What was the use of rumours and false intel against concrete and fixed facts? "All we need to do is to go there, crush a few of the dark masters' traps and forces, and return with the great news of our victory back to the army," Sloth finished explaining this plan to everyone he handpicked. And the response was expectedly warm and enthusiastic.
"We are going to rock it this time, hahahaha!"
"Thanks Sloth for inviting us! We will write down our names in the minds of everyone present here today, hahahaha!"
Everyone Sloth picked were veteran masters, and they didn't need any more explanation to get the point and glory behind doing this.
Taking the lead like this, coming up in such a low number to crush the enemies and regain the devastated morale was something that wouldn't get missed by any.
They all grew excited to meet the enemy, and William wanted to remind them that they needed first to win before thinking about the glory that'd follow.
The distance that'd need a week from the army took roughly two days from the team. Just as they were less than a few hours away, the scout team Sloth sent came back with lots of real and authentic intel.
"You saw them digging holes, ones the size of ten metres in diameter, putting lots of materials and monster remains there, before closing them with red dirt?!!" William heard what the scout team brought and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Do you know what they are doing?" Against everyone's expectations, Sloth took the initiative to ask for William's opinion. After all, even Sloth didn't know what these dark masters were doing.
"They are making a nasty formation out there," William turned towards the direction of the Black Holes, "it can summon up lots of weird creatures, formed out of smoke, taking the shape of the monster remnants buried in these holes."
"This…"
"Can we fight them? Can we kill them?!" lots of masters were baffled and confused by what William just said. Even if they didn't get his point, they still were focused over what mattered to them… How to kill these things.
"Well… If you know about that beforehand, then yes, we can do it," William's face changed to show a vicious look over it. This formation was something that usually caused lots of losses to any normal master army if they missed the early signs of spotting it.
To make such a formation, a grand digging project would start, one that would have the same description as the scout team mentioned. It'd take lots of time, tons of preparations, and many hands to work on it.
William knew everything was set for such a formation to be used. The distance that should be crossed in half a month took a month or might be more by the grand army marching here. As for the needed workers, they already amassed hundreds of thousands of dark masters.
To keep any spying eyes away, they used the cover up of lots of monsters that surrounded that region. It worked to deter anyone away, and also as an early warning signal for anyone trying to come near and spy on their actions.
But they missed one point, that a team like them would move towards there, with many high-end masters in the roster. These masters got a scary spirit sense with a huge area of coverage, ending up detecting what they were doing.
And they missed William's presence in their plans! Even if anyone managed to see what they were doing, they wouldn't get the truth behind it. All they might think about was they were doing something like a trap or something and would never recognise what hell awaited them.
