BXBX NOVEL Chapter 639 One Man Army
The monsters were coming like there was no end to them. And with the lots of the big dead bodies of the monsters killed so far, it was hard to stop the upcoming charge of monsters.
[I will arrange Scavenger teams]
"Do as you wish," William turned around, estimated his current location to be just three kilometres away from the city, "I need to pull a little distance forward then."
Once he decided, he started to run and fight, evading any annoying turtle monster while making sure he\'d kill all the leopards on his way.
Even if the turtles were currently the strongest force in the enemy lines, the ranks of monsters were mainly formed out of leopards. And that made William\'s mission a little easier.
At the same time, the city walls started to show a grand move. Lara relayed what she agreed with William about to Stark. And the latter was waiting for such a moment. He already prepared lots of Scavenger teams, waiting for the right time to send them out.
In addition to them, he also prepared lots of deadly force teams, ones that were composed of gold masters as their lowest ranks.
The Scavenger teams didn\'t have such an extravagant lineup, mostly formed of bronze and silver masters. Their task wasn\'t that hard to begin with. And just by watching how William dissected monsters outside for hours taught everyone the right way to do it.
As William gave them the green light, Stark didn\'t hesitate anymore. He even formed more teams to aid the strongest teams he gathered already, sent everyone towards the ground outside, and a true bloody battle erupted next.
William asked for half an hour, and they felt like every passing minute held a life challenging clash with these monsters. As William crossed at last the area he wanted, reaching the ten kilometre mark, he started to act.
What he did was to take out lots of grenades, different types of them. The ones that he used before at the Lost City exploded first, engulfing lots of places, while leaving tiny passes for monsters to pass through.
At the same time, his tails shone with brown light, as he used his earth spirit element. He already had five normal elements, including fire, wind, and earth.
He refrained from using his earth element before as he didn\'t see any value in doing so. Even if he started to use it against the turtles, his spirit power wasn\'t enough to do anything to them.
But now he had to use it to bury lots of normal grenades underground. It was the same type as the ones Sith, and others used five years ago with him.
Yet these grenades were much higher in grade and ferocity than their ancestors. Not only that, but William also found an interesting material before, one that could make these grenades partially self-repair after detonating.
And that meant a single grenade would detonate for around twenty times before turning into useless scrap of metal.
William told Lara that he\'d secure an area with a five kilometres radius around the city. And yet he went too deep to reach ten kilometres away. As he suffered tons of pressure, faced many life-threatening situations, he finally released all his grenades, stabilising the situation greatly.
"Time to work fast then," William had another tail shine in green light, as he used his wind element. He coupled this with using a fast movement technique, one that\'d let his steps become swift and his legs cross lots of distance in no time.
He started to circle around the city, taking almost ten minutes in doing so. During which, loud noises of explosions kept ranging all the time, announcing monsters passing over these grenades.
They might not be able to kill these monsters\' solo, but they could leave lots of wounds over them. And as these grenades attacked from the ground upwards, the turtles started to suffer heavy casualties.
As he completed the first round, he walked a few hundred metres inward, before repeating the same process again. It was like laying down layers upon layers around the city, all formed out of his grenades, leaving behind tons of wounded and dead monsters, with heaven shaking explosions ranging all the time.
The forces at the city were all shocked by this. Only those with long ranged spirit senses managed to spot what William was doing from the start. They reassured everyone that things were fine, and explained in detail what William was doing.
And when William got closer to the city, the other gold grade masters started to see what he was doing. They were impressed by his bravery and rich ways to handle monsters. And without even intending for it, his image started to deepen inside their minds and hearts.
William took two hours to do so, much longer than what he expected initially. The main issue for that was that he found just relaying the underground grenades at a few spots wasn\'t enough. So, he started to fill most of the ground with his underground grenades. When he arrived near the city, he finally layered it with underground grenades only.
He sole handedly turned the entire area around the city into a hard to pass through landmine. As he took two hours in doing so, stopping the influx of new monsters since starting all this, the masters at the city finally got enough time to breathe.
That peaceful period didn\'t end by William\'s arrival to the five kilometres mark he specified before. He continued to lay down his grenades, throwing out the deadly grenades from time to time, stopping the monster army from getting closer to the city.
[You… Sigh! You are truly a one-man army!] even Stark got touched by his performance, couldn\'t help but sigh in admiration.
