And yet other girls avoided any hot spot, aiming to reap benefits by winning lots of small battles and killing tons of weak enemies.
Yet Anjie was different. She got the backing and balls to go against the grand dark forces in the continent without fearing anything. In return for that, she also had her Trojan horse, John.
The latter did the same as he did in the previous battlefield. He infiltrated the enemy's lines, disguised himself as a dark master, before starting to lure different forces to deadly traps.
"Hahahaha! Uncle, you said these dark masters weren't going to fall again to this trick. And here they are, hahahaha!" Anjie laughed the most after clearing the second strong fort of the dark masters in less than one month.
This time, she knew what to do, and had a successfully proved way to win the battle here. She didn't struggle like before except for two weeks, and then she landed the deadly blow towards the enemy's main force.
It happened exactly the same as before. The dark leaders didn't notice anything at first, not until they lost a huge area of land, monsters, and forces in a very short time. Then they suspected John, laid the same trap for him.
"They are stupid, and didn't even bother to connect with each other… What a stupid arrogant bunch of fools they are," her uncle shook his head, as if he was lamenting for what the dark masters in the region did.
"Uncle… What are you saying? Are you regretting them not winning over us?!!!" Anjie teased her uncle, and the latter laughed, rubbed her head and messed with her hair.
"Stop it, I've grown up!"
"Not to me, you'll remain that crybaby you always were, hahahaha!"
"I never was one!" she puffed her cheeks, acting as if she got insulted or something. But that made her uncle mess more with her hair, while laughing.
"It's time for us to return," he said, "aren't you excited to meet him?"
"I'm sure you want to meet him the most," she rolled her eyes. During the crisis that hit the capital, this uncle of hers was away with lots of capable and strong masters. He was one of those who were away on various missions, deeply regretting not being by his brother's side when the sky fell over his head.
And yet he was indeed very curious to meet the youngster who changed all this. He heard tons of stories about William, and wanted to see the man himself to better assess him.
"Let's go, naughty troublemaker," he messed with her again, but this time she was ready and moved in nimble steps away from his hand.
"What a nice technique this is!"
"Willy taught me," she said with a smile, "and he is going to teach tons of awesome stuff."
"I'm happy for you," her uncle honestly said his opinion and expressed his feelings for her, "let's go… We have a long road awaiting us."
"And a long time of work," she sighed, recalling what awaited her, "hopefully he won't let us do this ourselves. He won't, right?"
"I don't know what you are speaking about," her uncle laughed, "but I can tell you this, long work is awaiting for you back there, hahahaha!"
"Uncle! You can't side with him from the start like this!!" she totally got what he meant wrong, and just shook his head, warned John from saying anything with a long gaze of his.
Time was up, and everyone knew who won in the end. It was Anjie, then Lara, Lina who came as a black horse from down below, then Sara and Berry. Other girls came later and filled the short list of ten girls in William's inner circle.
The names of these girls were now widely known all over the world. As for the Fox guild, no one now didn't know about this name.
The girls wrapped their gains, and headed back towards Lara's city. They made tons of friendships with others, especially the girls without backing.
They didn't miss inviting everyone into the guild, join there and be part of their own forces. The girls released from this contest the value and importance of having their own factions inside the guild. And so they all invited tons of masters to join, adding them under their recently established private forces.
Even Anjie didn't miss such a thing. As the entire world was going on a long peaceful calm period after all this, their eyes sat over one direction; William.
They all wanted to see how the Fox guild would do after this. The old and formidable masters all knew about what William intended to do. And even kings and strong forces in other kingdoms were prepared to welcome such a fierce competition over snatching masters from each other.
They knew the most logical move after all this was to push forward and hit the iron when still hot. Yet they weren't unfriendly towards the general idea. After all, the Fox guild stressed many times over its main purpose, fighting dark masters and monsters, nothing else.
As the girls returned back to Lara's city, they were welcomed like how heroes would be. They were heroes in the eyes of everyone living there, and tons of masters headed here to watch their glorious return, and live to tell the tale later on.
William was still in his seclusion, but he already left orders for other member of the guild who returned few days ago. He asked the girls to enjoy their stay in the city for a week, enjoy what they deserved, the glory they worked hard to earn.
They didn't get his point at first, but when they remained awake for two entire days while crazy celebrations were going on everywhere in the city in their honour, they felt warmth and pride.
All the bitterness about losing to Anjie got washed in this one week. And now the girls didn't even feel much sadness like before.
