The masters coming out from the underground city was a scene that many spotted. Without any delay, news spread over and reached William's ears back in his town.
"Oho, she seems quite impatient, hahaha," when he heard this, he first got surprised before he laughed, "nothing changes in our plans. We'll welcome them as we planned."
"Will they attack my city?" Lara asked in sincere worry, but William shook his head and reassured her.
"They aren't that stupid to do so," he calmly smiled, "they may be stronger than all of us, but they lack in terms of numbers. They are limited by this world's rules and can't exert much of their true prowess. Not to mention they still have not adapted to their lowered powers. So, they won't make such stupid mistakes."
"Plus, they wanted him, not your city," Anjie paused, "it's a pity that my kingdom's top masters haven't made it here yet..."
Anjie acted like Lara, sent an envoy to her father, explaining everything. Her father and his trusted masters found it interesting to have such a threat in their kingdom's lands. And so she got the response of sending enough top masters to not only crush the enemies, but also capture as many as possible from them.
Yet her father gave her five days' time before these masters would arrive. William already told them Sara's mother's big attack wouldn't happen before she'd meet up with him.
Things didn't happen the way William envisioned, and so the kingdom's top masters wouldn't come here in time. Even if she sent out a distress signal, it'd be already too late.
"No need for them," Lara scoffed, "my city already sent a hundred top masters here..."
"No offence dear, but your city's top masters can't be compared to my kingdom's top masters," Anjie welcomed the challenging comment with another. And William couldn't help but roll his eyes in response.
"It's not the right time for any of that," he sighed, "if you have extra power, go out there and help in finalising the preparations. We have a big fight coming up, so let's do it!"
Not to mention many masters were left with deadly wounds. So she just picked the strongest and healthiest ones and thought this was an overkill.
Yet even before she'd arrived at the Fox Guild town wall, she and her masters got assaulted with lots of bombs.
"Landmine? Interesting!" The attack didn't cause much damage, and Sara's mother could instantly recognise the nature of this assault.
She looked at her masters, and they nodded. Without the need to say anything, they all spread over, activating the buried mines and bombs, ending up detonating lots of them in a short time.
The sounds of explosions came constantly from different directions. "You think I placed these bombs there for fun? You are greatly mistaken!" William looked over what was going on using his spirit sense, and he wasn't fazed for even a moment by Sara's mother's actions.
He already expected her to do something like that. If there was a big weakness in her, then it'd be arrogance and overconfidence.
She always looked down on him, and he knew she had reasons to feel so. She came from a higher and stronger world, and they were all ants in front of her.
But she was gravely mistaken as she was limited by the laws in this world. Even if she was hundred times stronger, her current strength was bound to the lower world rules.
These bombs weren't situated there just to trap them, in fact there was a hidden formation buried deep under the ground.
The bombs would activate the formation, but the bombs needed to get detonated on a large scale, and in a very short time. He used her arrogance against her, out played her, and this was just the start.
The formation was the one he told his friends about, the one designed to entrap these stronger masters and weaken them. But it wasn't a strong formation on its own. So, if the masters stood together, they could easily shatter it.
