"Just keep boosting us, and leave the rest to us!" Sloth flashed by him, and said these words before joining the fight upfront. With the appearance of masters from outside, the battles around the walls concluded pretty fast. And now everyone focused solely and mainly on the brutal fights happening at the front.
Even against the seemingly endless monster and dark master tide, the masters stood their ground firm and even pushed the line up ahead.
The more they killed their enemies, the more they felt the desire to keep moving forward. They kept pushing the line for hours, while William turned his guild masters into fuel to aid their strength blaze wildly.
The battle kept burning for hours. The dark master leaders didn't have any other option but to send everything they had to stop the scary city masters.
The reinforcements that came were way beyond what William and others imagined. Hundreds of thousands came here, and the scariest fact was that almost one-third of them were at dark gold grade.
That meant they were able to contend easily against the enemy, even without William's aid. When the latter noticed this, he started to select whom to support, selected those gold-grade masters, and helped them to obtain power enough to crush the enemies around.
Doing this added more to the ongoing fighting roster at the frontlines, and made things much easier for the masters to press forward. Yet at some point, the frontline spanned for tens of kilometres, turning this into a hard-to-track war.
If not for his upgrade in spirit power, his spirit sense wouldn't have enough support to cover such a large area. And in the middle of all this, the two monster tides that appeared first came at last.
William didn't know this, but the city leaders decided to turn this place into the grinding front base of the city. They thought about it thoroughly, and this place served best to do such a task.
They felt if they let the enemies arrive in the city, then things would turn south for them. So they decided to send almost one-fifth of the entire master army in the city, including almost half of the top fighting force they had.
They didn't make such a decision based on such a reason only, but when they received the news about what William was doing out there. They knew with that weird formation he used, things were going much better than anyone expected.
And so they sent tons of masters here and even sent much more to delay the incoming monster tide. But all they could do was to buy William and others almost half a day, and finally, the different monster tides merged together at last.
Things rolled the way they all hoped for. The monsters and dark masters focused on winning this war over this place, and that turned this place into the core of the entire war.
William finally could get what the main aim of the city leaders was behind sending all these masters here. And yet, he couldn't do anything beyond what he was doing right now.
Even if he got much better thanks to the support he gained from the formation, it wasn't enough. He was still feeling weak, and if he joined the fight now he'd turn into a liability.
The best he could do was to unleash his three monstrous weapons out there to help. Charley had already been destroyed, and sending these out was the only extra help he could muster right now.
The fight continued for days in this place! No side wanted to retreat or budge an inch about losing this place, all tried to secure this fort for themselves. And yet William's focus shifted midway towards something else.
"You want me to leave here?!!!" As he had no other one to trust with this mission, he summoned Sloth and told him this crazy request.
"This war isn't going to end by killing these monsters," William slowly said, before explaining things over to Sloth.
"Damn! But mark my words, you'll take me with you, got it?" Sloth fumed in rage. The last thing he'd ever want was to go away from such brutal fighting. All the enemies any master despised and hated deep down their bones were here. And the master's army needed any possible help.
But William explained things over, told him this was the doing of that mysterious man. The only way to stop all this was by heading there and killing that master once and for all.
If not, then after crushing all the monster tides here, more would pop up. Sloth understood the gravity of the situation, and yet he still hated leaving at such a critical moment.
As Sloth moved away towards the city, William returned to pour every ounce of his focus over the war here.
Right now, the fight expanded beyond his limits. All he could do now was to relax and let others do their task. From time to time, he'd spot the frontline getting pushed back, enough for him to return to support them.
After days of persistence and fighting, things started to get much better for him. He regained his former power and yet didn't go forward to join the battle.
He knew a much bitter fight awaited him soon enough. So instead of wasting his power on this, he started to focus on making his special grenades.
The grenades he offered to everyone were his weakest, and yet they were enough to cause such damage to the enemies. As for his advanced version of grenades, they were quite lethal indeed. But he was the only one able to make them, as they needed many precious materials, many of which came from the outer world.
So he took over this task for days, while Sloth was busy dealing with the task he got. Everyone was fighting everywhere and updated news of this epic fight. The more they heard, the more eager they wanted to go and help.
