"We'll fill the trench with it," William's face turned cold, "the earth-based masters will dig the trench, water-based masters will fill it with water, then wind-based masters will move the barrels over and drop them in the water."
"Just like this?" Zin felt like this was as simple as William made it look like.
"We'll need a special master," William looked at Zin before adding, "one that can turn fluid to smoke."
"Hmm… I can't say we have someone like this, but…"
"You can ask around," William shrugged, "if you didn't find any, then masters with ice elements and techniques can do fine."
William wanted to poison water, before turning this water into smoke, to easily let the substance infiltrate the hounds' bodies. Yet if that failed, then turning it into ice was the next best option.
Water would dilute the toxin, making it more soluble and easily absorbed. But ice would concentrate it and let it stick over the bodies of the monsters. Not to mention once turned into ice, the substance would turn into its cloud status, yet it'd be buried underneath the ice. Entrapping both the substance and the monsters within.
"Ice masters… This I can do," Zin then looked at others. Without the need to say anything, few started to take Bullets out, speak little words there before saying they are waiting for the answer.
Lara didn't get any of this. She was in her own world right now. She knew she got saved, the city got saved, and all she had to do now was to let the pros do their task.
Stark returned already with other masters, but they suffered heavy losses and wounds. Almost one tenth of them died. And the rest didn't come back without lots of severe wounds.
Yet Stark refused to go and rest, gulped a healing elixir on the spot, the same thing the other master did. Other masters went to help others at the walls, arranging things, and helping the new ones to understand how to deal with these hounds.
Stark only remained behind. And when he heard William's plan, he couldn't help but get excited about all this.
"Are we going down again?" That feeling from before, the one where he was defending his city and people, standing in the frontline while fighting was priceless.
"We will," William knew if things went right, then they'd be able to hunt down these monsters without much trouble. What was the main problem he faced with these hounds? It was the low concentration of the toxin these hounds inhaled and let get into their bodies.
William's top priority right now was to make the best use of all the assets he got, try to increase the amount of toxin inside the bodies of these hounds.
"We got alchemists," one of the newly joined leaders said, "do you want any extra hand?"
Lara turned to William, and the latter nodded, "any help is appreciated. We want to make as much of this substance as possible, ok?"
"Count on our alchemists on that," the one who spoke hit his chest, "I'm an alchemist myself, and my family is famous for having the best alchemist in the western side of the continent."
"Great," William wasn't aware of any of what this old master said. But if he got the power to call lots of alchemists here, then it'd be great.
Stark got worried about something entirely different. He looked at William, and the latter simply winked at him. William got what made Stark worried, and it was for such a formula to spread among other places than here.
William was the one who provided the core of this formula to begin with. So Stark asked him with such a gaze about his opinion of this. William didn't object on such a matter, didn't see anything wrong in letting a new weapon spread among masters in this world.
Like this, facing any monster tide or dark masters. In addition to that, this formula wasn't totally his. Almost half of it belonged to another master.
If that master was just roaming the world, helping masters in need, then William didn't see anything wrong about spreading such a formula over the entire world.
As William didn't object, Stark didn't say anything and kept silent. The master who just spoke and proposed to help spoke through many Bullets, seemingly calling forth all the available alchemists over to help.
William let them handle the entire plan. Lara's men were going to bring the barrels here, while earth-based masters were called upon, getting gathered all over the front of the walls. As for the alchemist master's forces, they sent people back to their homebase to bring everyone available here.
Lara arranged few of her men to lead those alchemists towards the Spar Arena
"How deep exactly do you want this trench?" After half an hour, Zin got the word that all the masters William asked for were ready, "we didn't find such master who can turn fluid into smoke, but we got many ice-based masters. So, we can start anytime you want."
"Good," William looked at the outer area. The hounds recovered from the initial fierce attacks that came once the new masters arrived. Even if the number of masters on the walls increased by many folds, it wasn't enough to take these monsters down or even stop them from advancing.
If not for the toxin, they'd have already overrun the entire city hours ago!
The hounds were now close to the walls, only a few hundred metres away. If not for the fierce and continuous release of attacks from the walls, the hounds would have reached the walls by now.
"Do you need us to move out again?" Stark seemed to read through William's thoughts, said in weird excitement.
"Sure," William looked at Zin, and the latter smiled.
"I'll send my elite teams."
"Me too."
"I'll send everyone and will join them as well!"
Others started to speak after Zin said the first piece.
