To lead a group of wolves, one must be an alpha, the scariest of wolves!
Few days passed fast. During which, William watched all his friends, the city's big masters, and the masters who arrived from the capital train over the dance.
Sloth didn't return so far, but he sent lots of masters at gold and dark gold grades. At the same time, he made sure to send lots of materials back to William, promising to gather more.
William could tell how honest and serious the kingdom was to support him in the upcoming battle. He didn't feel any weirdness about that, as this was a move to hit many birds with a single stone.
First this was going to happen on the kingdom lands. In case the enemies thought of expanding their presence here for any reason, there would be a countermeasure already to prevent that.
And if they didn't want to continue here, the masters sent by the kingdom would get a once in a lifetime chance to experience fighting against higher realm masters.
Such experience was priceless and couldn't be replaced by anything else. On top of that, William expected these masters to gather loot from the fallen masters from the outer world. Even if he would spread masters from his guild for this purpose, the expected grand magnitude of the battle would make impossible to prevent such actions.
Another reason to send support was Anjie. The king knew his daughter would go anywhere William would. And the latter proved for many times how reckless and trouble magnet he was.
William didn't mind any of that. He knew this was a special experience for many masters, including his guild. So, he made sure to ask all the masters in his guild at gold grade and above to be present. He also asked his friends to keep a close eye over the masters away from the Black and Gold Tails groups.
As everything was going smoothly on that part, William started to make the formations at the underground city. This wasn't an easy task, not only because of the monsters, but also because of Sara's mother.
"Why are you here?" After a few hours, William couldn't help but repeat his question a dozen times.
"I told you, I'm here to help!" Sara's mother puffed her cheeks, acting as a little girl complaining about his words.
"You know..."
"Not that," she was pointing to her body in a seductive way, "I need something else of value, extreme value... Do you have it?"
"You already got my most precious thing!" she rolled her eyes in complaint. But that didn't stop William from evilly smirking:
"Then the day you find something of value, come and let's exchange."
William closed this page by saying. He didn't think Sara's mother had something that could satisfy him. But he wanted to give her hope, luring her more to his side.
As he planned and prepared everything, it was time to wait. He already laid down tons of formations, and adding more wouldn't help at all.
During all this, the monsters kept coming at him, yet his group of masters standing on guard kept these monsters away.
"Now it all depends on her," William shifted his eyes towards the direction of the portal, "when you come, this place will be your grave."
William didn't stand idle waiting for Lingerie to come. He still had the task of organising everyone in their spots, also checking on their training progress.
As he explained to his friends and top masters on his side, the masters taking part in this war had different tasks to do.
First there were the ones controlling the formations. These dancers had to come in order, with an almost twenty seconds window between every batch. Timing was everything, and failing to do this even once would have great consequences on the ongoing battle.
The last thing William and others wanted to see was for a group of outer world masters to get away from the shackles of these formations. But he didn't just depend on the masters promising to do their best.
