"Yes! At fucking last!" Sara's mother shouted out of excitement, couldn't believe she finally got the chance to learn about the formation and how to make it without paying or begging for it, "what? I'm happy we have the upper hand on them at last."
"..."
Everyone looked at her in a very suspicious way. She didn't show up till when William came. And she showed weird excitement, one that made everyone realise her aim from being here, not to help but to learn.
They all looked at William, but the latter looked as if he didn't notice anything. "The formation is formed of twenty-five groups, each group..." William started to speak about the foundation of the formation.
In fact, Sara's mother knew all of this. And even when he narrated the needed materials to use in every hole, she could already say all of them without missing a single one.
Slowly her excitement died down, and instead got replaced with a look of doubt and disappointment. Her last hope shattered when William ended his talk with saying:
"This is it! Just do as I said and leave the rest to me."
"Mfer!" Sara's mother couldn't control herself anymore, "you lied! You didn't tell us anything of value, bastard!"
"Who said I'd do that?" William evilly laughed, "come on, let's go and do our part in this battle. Others are risking their lives down below, and we have a short window to act before Lingerie fixes that portal."
Everyone gave Sara's mother a weird look while they moved after William and followed him through one tunnel. It was clear like a sun in the middle of a clear sky, that Sara's mother was after learning the formation secrets, not here to help!
Using numerical, morale, and tactic understanding advantage, Fang and Sloth led everyone to slowly crush the outer world masters. But that didn't come without paying a hefty price in terms of great losses on their side.
Be it dying or getting severely wounded, the number of masters on Fang and Sloth's side was getting crunched slowly by the outer world masters.
That was good until the portal flashed and another batch of reinforcements arrived. This time, the batch didn't have a couple of thousand masters, but a whole lot of fifteen thousand masters!
There were already five thousand masters from the outer world in the portal area. Adding the newly joined ones up, the entire lot was now around twenty thousand! It was a staggering force to fight against, especially when the other side lost many of their top masters and elites!
"Just in time!" Yet when that disaster happened, William finally arrived. Seeing him get into the portal area with lots of his guild masters, made Fang and Sloth feel there was still hope.
"Don't tell us we are going to retreat!" Fang was the fastest to go to where William was, followed by Sloth.
"We had them, were this close when the portal gushed out tons of those bastards!" Sloth was frustrated. The big win was in their hands to grasp, and yet the sudden incoming wave turned the tables around!
He hated how the situation turned around when the win was in their pockets already!
"We will keep pushing," William responded in a serious tone, "provide protection for us, we'll start surrounding this area with the weakening formations first."
"Hell yeah!" Sloth clenched his fist while Fang shouted in excitement, "let's show these bastards that our world isn't a pushover! Let's fcking go!"
Seeing William coming here, saying these words, inspired even the top and old masters here. Everyone thought it was the best move to retreat, and yet when William mentioned the formations, they all got hyped again!
