Hearing the rough estimate he said made everyone speechless. They were worrying to death from just one thousand, and he casually raised it to twenty folds at least without flinching or even showing he cared about that.
"What's the plan then," Sara's mother sighed, "at least tell me you have one."
"It's simple," William spoke in a very carefree way, as if he was speaking about an attack from silver grade masters or something, "when they'll come here, they will get forcibly limited by the laws of our world. And so, they'll be in their most vulnerable status..."
"Don't tell me you plan everything only on this," Sara's mother panickily interrupted him, "damn! You can't be serious, right?"
"Well, with the weakening formations, we can have a smooth start," William cleared his throat, "that's why we need to lay down as many formations as we can until they come."
"..." Sara's mother looked at everyone in silence, "you can't think this is a good plan, right?"
"Do we have any other options?" Sloth wasn't saying this out of desperation, but he hoped she'd come up with a way better plan. Yet when she sighed, he and others knew their fate was sealed in the hands of William's plan.
"Don't think this is a bad plan, at least it'll give us a good start," William rubbed his head, "also we'll arrange our masters, so those strong enough will use my special formation to augment their elements and techniques."
"These formations are deadly, ask me about them," Fang paused, "but still... Only depending on their weakening from the world laws and our formations? Isn't this... A bit hopeless?"
"You all are taking the limitation enforced by our world lightly," William defended his idea in a stubborn way, "ask her, even now she and who was on her side suffered from such limitations."
"But we were still strong!" Sara's mother didn't want anyone to take the wrong idea or feel overly confident, "it's not enough, barely enough... Damn! If you planned to do it this way, you should have left many of my masters alive. At least they could have caused lots of problems to the incoming enemies!"
"It won't make a difference," William shrugged, "after all, the formations I'll make down there will target those coming from the outer world specifically. And that means your people wouldn't have made any difference at all."
He could get lots of these materials from the city here, but he'd still be limited to how much he'd gather. Not to mention he doubted he'd find everything in Lara's city alone.
Having the backing of the king himself and the kingdom was going to solve a lot of problems for William. On top of that, he wanted more formidable masters to come here and help. Or else the few strong masters the city had weren't going to make a difference in the upcoming battle.
Sloth was a smart master, and he got what William wanted by keeping Anjie here.
In fact, William didn't need to worry about such a thing. After all, if Lara's city got attacked and fell under the enemies' hands, it wasn't guaranteed for them to stop there.
The king decided to interfere the moment he heard the grave news from Sloth. And like the latter, the king started to see William as weird phenomena and crazy incidents magnet.

"Now what shall we do?" Anjie also got why William kept her by his side, "shall we go down there?"
"No need, we have a more important task to do," William paused, before adding, "I need to teach you how to control the formations."
"Control?!" Lara looked at William in a weird way, "isn't it the same as any other formation?"
"These formations are different," William smiled, "we need to learn a dance to control them."
"A dance?!!!" Everyone standing here couldn't help but shout at the same time, making William laugh when he saw their reactions.
"It's the only way," he said, "it's a very special type of formation, and it needs a special way to control them."
