Chapter 1076 The Monster Flood
[My liege, William says there is no time to think about useless things, let the masters around to get ready for defensive battle]
"This brat!" The king fumed in rage for one second, as he didn't like the fact that someone else was able to read his mind and thoughts. Then in the next second, he couldn't help himself from laughing, "My daughter has keen eyes indeed, just like her mother, hahahaha!"
The king wasn't insulted or irritated by what William said at all. He laughed, before turning to spread his orders to his trusted followers.
The next few hours were quite hectic everywhere. The batches sent out to scout the enemy faced deadly encounters, all ended up killed!
They didn't take one path but threaded through the narrow and twisted paths in between the mountains. At the same time, they also climbed the mountains, trying to surprise the enemy and test their defences against such tactics.
But everything they did failed! The enemy was well prepared indeed, and they attacked the kingdom's masters from all directions. Rocks fell, and lots of arrows, alongside monsters climbing down the mountains and descending on the heads of masters everywhere. Things were quite crazy, and the deepest point masters managed to reach in the valleys was less than two kilometres!
It was insane! And the news delivered back to the king and other formidable masters carried tons of bad things. The monsters weren't just numerous, and strong, but also got quite the collection there.
They got monsters that could climb mountains like walking on the ground, monsters that could pass through rocks, others that appeared from the ground, and even monsters that could move fast, jump agilely from high points and land without suffering any damage.
The mainstream monsters they faced were at gold grade, but that wasn't good news. These were considered the useless fodders in the monsters' army, and that meant there were tons of much stronger monsters lying way behind them.
What was depressing though was the fact that the scouts didn't bring back much intel to make the best use of. They didn't have time to fight back the enemies in such tough terrain, didn't have time even to relay back the news in time.
As things ended up this way, the masters decided to go themselves to the frontline, and inspect the masters' fights using their spirit sense. Yet midway there, they noticed something disturbing.
"Monsters... Floods of monsters are coming!" the shouts spread all over the entire army of masters. Right now, the morale was pretty low, for them being in a place they didn't know, for them to be surrounded like this, and for the bad news that spread just now about the grave losses in the entire scout master units that just got deployed.
And when they weren't able to figure out what was going on, news about incoming monsters appeared. They all got frightened, looked around, and looked for anyone to give them hope, for any beacon of light that would shove away all the gloomy darkness swelled up in their spirits.
Yet all they could see were scared faces like theirs. They didn't know what to do, they had no way to run and had no defences to fortify themselves at.
William asked the leaders of the army to gather Artisans and make weird stuff that no one ever knew what their uses were. They didn't get any orders to build forts, walls, even trenches or traps around!
And when they all felt like this, the leaders came to arrange their lines, preparing for the incoming harsh battle.
"We are going to die!" this was the general belief that everyone had in their minds, got it deep down in their spirits. Even many army leaders knew this, as the scene in front of their eyes was quite shocking and scary.
The entire world that was previously vacant was now filled with endless monsters, all running towards them. They could see lots of weird-shaped monsters, monsters they couldn't get a head or tail about.
They felt like they never fought monsters before in their entire lives. And those who were either citizens of the Scorching Lands or Lara's cities felt like the world greatly changed after they stopped fighting monsters.
Just when everyone was feeling like this, something suddenly flashed from afar. At first, it was just one, but soon they noticed there were eleven beings, moving in a fast way, passing through the forest of monsters around, without getting stopped by anything.
They released deadly explosive attacks, attracting everyone's attention from both enemies and allies sides. "It's William!" The moment the explosions fell, the formidable spirit masters released their spirit senses towards his direction, spotting him alongside ten other monstrous weapons.
The eleven of them were moving like a single unit, attacking and killing tons of monsters without a single moment of pause or rest. "Listen up," as he knew he attracted their attention, he instantly shouted, "Move out of the army, lead others by example, attack and kill monsters without looking back, as if you have nothing to lose!"
The moment the monsters came, and he wrapped up everything he was doing. In the past few hours, he managed to finish one more monstrous weapon fully, and the last two he had to work fast on, without adding many weapons or grenades there.
Yet they were enough to deal with these monsters. William knew these monsters weren't similar to anything present in his world, so it was expected for everyone to feel doubt and worry, even fear. n0VElUsb.C0m
At such times, the responsibility of supporting everyone lay on the shoulders of the formidable masters. They had enough strength to crush any monster no matter what had the ability to kill all monsters they'd face here, and make others behind feel hope again.
As for these monsters, they were indeed different, but not that much. They had weird outer shells, like sea shells or something, protecting them from much damage.
