Chapter 927 An Ambush!



To do so, they started to make arrays and traps all around that safe route. They laid these for tens of kilometres, and didn't hold back in using everything they had.

They made sure to not alarm the forces stationed in the safe route leading the runners away from here. They didn't know if there was a way to communicate between this force and the dark leaders away from here. And luckily they didn't expose themselves or else the entire plan would be screwed.

Just a few hours after doing so, they felt something was amiss in the force stationed in that place. They noticed weird movements there, with lots of masters running away as if they were running from a plaque or something.

"They are coming," this was what everyone thought about at the same time, "let's get ready then. Don't make any mistake, and kill everyone you get," Sloth added using spirit telepathy before they all lay in wait, hiding themselves in many stealth arrays.

The traps they laid around this place were all remotely controlled by their spirit senses. They didn't activate them to take down the runners, fearing to alarm the incoming leaders. Their wait didn't last more than half an hour before they started to spot many dark masters running in their direction.

They saw how they were scared, moving with lots of wounds. They were running as fast as their techniques could carry them, making haste towards the safe route.

"Now!" Sloth waited until he saw the early batches of his kingdom's masters running and chasing these down. He knew these were running for their lives, and other dark masters remaining were entrapped and fighting against the kingdom's masters already.

The moment he gave the order, a series of deadly explosions occurred. The masters on his side activated the traps they laid and took the lives of endless dark masters in mere minutes.

When the explosions ceased, the dark master's remaining force was less than twenty percent than what it was initially. And yet there were still thousands with them, alongside tens of thousands of monsters.

"Attack!" As they dealt such blows to these filthy dark masters, Sloth gave the order to pursue the attack and fight directly against the remaining dark masters.

They targeted everyone, and William just targeted the wounded. His first priority wasn't to kill, but to gather all the rings as he could, from the living, from the wounded, and even from the dead.

Sloth and others didn't care about what he was doing and just fought bravely against the remaining dark masters. This was a force that was stationed with the leaders, and that meant they were quite strong and deadly.

Taking these down took two days entirely before they fell down. If not for the traps set earlier by them, Sloth and others wouldn't have managed to kill all of them.

In the end of this prolonged war, the kingdom's masters were fighting monsters and dark masters all over the region. They didn't stop until a few days later, and they didn't even feel tired.

The first thing they did was to go back and check on their king. The king was already getting better and welcomed the remaining forces of his mighty capital while walking to inspect what happened there.I think you should take a look at

The king was sleeping all this time and didn't get what happened to his capital, to his mighty armies, to his royal family. When he got briefed about what happened, he was totally enraged, especially when he learnt about the ones who were behind all this.

He couldn't believe that his uncle, the grand uncle, was the one behind all this. That culprit was already on the run, but the masters here were looking for him madly all over the place.

The king knew that his kingdom, the one he inherited from his ancestors, was badly hurt this time. The capital was gone, the royal family seemed to get infiltrated by the dirty dark masters, and many of the good masters of the kingdom were gone.

As for the people, the good news was that most of them managed to escape as the dark masters were targeting him all the time.

The king listened to the stories others said about what happened, and yet two names kept reverberating in his ears every now and then; Sloth and William.

He knew Sloth quite well and wasn't feeling any surprise about the deeds he made. But William was a different case. The more the king heard about this youngster's story, the more he got impressed and admired him greatly.

"Let him come and meet me," these were the words of the king before he retreated back to the valley he and his loyal masters got entrapped for a long time.

He decided to change this place, making it a symbol of his kingdom. Even if the capital was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. And this place would always be remembered for the brutal clash that happened here, as long as the world stood.

William was now busy checking the loot he got. He fought in various places, collecting tons of rings from dark masters. Yet the most valuable came from the last battle that just ended.

He fought against the dark leaders and their top masters, and collected the loot from masters he killed or didn't. He gathered a really great harvest of rings, all filled with tons of things.

And yet he was looking for two things in particular, the source of that deadly fog, and any clue leading to identifying the ones who started all this.

He wanted to know who planned such a meticulously complicated and deep plan. It goes without saying that such a plan was set in motion many years ago, even before he'd come back in time from the future.

That meant whoever was behind this was very strong, had far eyesight, and was pretty dangerous. Thinking about the Nightmare monster wasn't logical. And for a moment there he felt like he found a clue to the people who stood behind the downfall of this world.
