Chapter 1164 The Retreat Dilemma

Soon enough, such doubt proved to be real as more high-end enemies came their way, stopping them again. noVE/lb-In

"They came from other areas," William and Fang noticed. "At least we are helping them this way, right?" "I don't care about any of that," Fang shook his head, "I'm just super excited I'm going to use that awesome lightning booster once again, hahaha!"

"..." William didn't know what to say in response to that, so he kept himself silent while building up another formation.

Like before, Fang released tons of lightning, while killing lots of those high-end enemies. As these enemies were shifted from other locations, the masters out there spotted a chance, and they moved to grab it.

Yet it wasn't enough for them to gain the upper hand, or create momentum. They just pushed forward slightly every now and then, much better than just stagnating back there and doing nothing.

William and Fang could see such results, and the two knew they were the ones behind such little progress. "Let's keep going," Fang was excited about this and asked to push forward.

Even if the two were pushing up ahead of the entire army, while lightning forced others to stay behind and watch, keep their distance, it didn't matter. Fang's lightning was enough to take down tons of enemies, and it never seemed like there were just two fighting out there.

As for William, he returned to collect loot from the fallen enemies, while Fang did his part. But keeping moving forward alone wasn't good. So he had to slow Fan down, and spend enough time fighting the enemies normally while other masters would catch up.

They wanted to depend on the frontline and slowly retreat until the area of fighting would be enough for the high-end masters to take the toll. Then William would show in the picture, using his deadly formations to hit the enemies hard before they'd all retreat.

William knew this was a feasible plan. After all, the high-end masters were very experienced and could keep their lives intact until all of the weaker masters would retreat.

The only challenge was in the huge number of the masters fighting at the frontlines right now. Trying to let all of them retreat at the same time was something impossible to happen without suffering lots of losses at the high-end master gang.

And so they had to slowly retreat, making masters evacuate the front battle slowly and steadily. That was their burden to handle, and he had just to keep the enemies busy during the upcoming hour.

If it was something easy to do then Sloth wouldn't have even mentioned it. But as they were all stressed by fighting the high-end masters of the enemy, they didn't have time to consider a proper retreat plan.

To do it, they had to focus totally on making and executing the plan.

And that meant all the pressure would land on William and Fang. "We'll stop here," William said, before explaining everything to Fang. The latter got the news as well, and he knew what was coming at him.

Yet he never regretted it. In fact, he felt this was a blessing, as he'd experienced constant use of that awesome formation before the end of this war.

As he guessed, William asked him to keep releasing his attacks while he'd build more formations to use. William didn't bother with any of the masters following them, as they'd get the orders to retreat from the king and others.

He started to build formations on a fixed and direct retreat path. Time passed slowly, while the high-end masters of the enemy kept coming without stopping.
