That made those with power and leverage at the fort, folks like Panther, send messengers to call out for the entire fort's fighting power to get summoned here.
The despicable and hard to find dark spirit masters finally showed themselves here in full force. It was a chance that wouldn't even come once in a century. No matter what the reasons were, no matter what troubles any of the masters here had with the ones back at fort, everyone sent messages to anyone and everyone they knew over there.
And this was the first miracle that William's team prayed for. As for the second one, it was a bit weird to tell.
It all started way back when William met Alfonso and made that deal with him. Alfonso was too excited to try this method out, and at once he hired a pro team.
In fact, he didn't just hire one team. When he thought about the possibility of William's theory to be true, he decided to go all out. He hired lots of mercenary teams, with lots of dark gold masters in them. As for the lowest grade, he didn't entrust such a task except to those at silver grade or higher.
He met with these teams' leaders and explained everything to them. He marked a spot on the map, one that was hundreds of kilometres away at least from here. This place was filled with hills and was the only spot around the fort that got tons of Scarlet Bears and other scarlet and different type monsters there.
As he instructed them, he wanted them to first test this method using the ready spears and arrows William gave to him. Then if that proved right, then they had to start working on this theory and start making out lots of spears and arrows like William's.
He also instructed them to rally more spirit masters to their cause, and even liquified lots of his assets in the next few days before finally going out with them.
He wouldn't trust stories from these masters. He wanted to see everything by himself. And like that, a moderate size army started marching from the fort, attracting more rogue teams in the forest, adding up to their ranks much more masters. That ended up slowing down their marching speed, taking more time arriving at their destination than planned.
Alfonso was too excited about this attack. And so, he spread lots of masters around, recruiting masters even from the marching caravans, and rogue masters in the forest. He spent lots of wealth on this, and all he thought about was how to end up killing the Scarlet Bears.
He kept marching for ten days before finally arriving at his destination. During the march, he was faced with lots of resisting dark spirit master forces. And he didn't show any mercy to them.
Especially when lots of monsters appeared supporting these dark masters. Alfonso wasn't a good general, but he had lots of capable dark gold masters on his side.
And so, no matter how hard the battles Alfonso faced were, he ended up winning all of them. But at a point, he felt like the number of dark masters and monsters kept decreasing the more he advanced.
"Weird… But it's a good thing, hahahaha! Heaven is on my side at last! Hahahaha!" He didn't think much about this and kept marching forward.
It never crossed his mind that most of the dark spirit master forces in the entire region were riled up and headed towards the same kid who brought him here in the first place.
"Send out a team to test things first," As the grand army approached the hills region, Alfonso stopped just one hundred kilometres away. He sent a team formed of a hundred dark gold masters with a thousand gold masters. And he tagged along with it.
He wanted to see if the method William told him about was true or not. "Attack! Use these spears and arrows now!" Once they came inside the area of hills, they met up with fierce resistance from the defending dark spirit masters.
Alfonso didn't know this, but the place he selected to target was the biggest base of the entire dark forces in the region. In normal days, getting close to here was an impossible feat, one that would be filled with endless dead bodies and bloody battles against scary dark master forces.
But right now, most of the forces were already out of the base. And that made Alfonso's small army manage to break through and enter the deeper areas.
Part of Alfonso's army moved to stop the little defending dark masters, while the rest moved with Alfonso deeper. The few defending dark masters here got shocked when they saw Alfonso's army, mistaking them to come for them.
And without any hesitation, they issued the alarm sirens to ring loud in the deep underground base, rallying up the resting dark masters there, preparing for a grand battle with Alfonso's forces.
As for Alfonso, he never expected that things would escalate and reach such a dangerous stage. He just kept marching with hundreds of his force. Once they spotted the first grand gathering of the terrifying Scarlet Bears, Alfonso shouted at the top of his lungs.
And then a miracle happened in front of his eyes, in front of everyone's eyes. He saw the monsters hit by the spears and arrows turn to be the most attractive spots here to other bears.
Alfonso's little army was already imagining a very brutal and desperate battle against these bears. Yet instead of facing the deadly swarms of Scarlet Bears, they all stood in petrification, watching these horrible monsters fight among each other.
"That kid… He wasn't lying… This… Hahahahaha!" Alfonso was shocked as others, but he was already prepared beforehand for such shock. So he was the first to break free from this spell and started to give orders around to launch more arrows and spears.
And just when that happened, more dark masters started to appear from many hills in the region.
