Chapter 1268: We Can Do It!
"This…" Sara's mother's doubt grew deeper and deeper by what William just said, "then we can do it before restarting the dance…"
"That will end the formation abruptly," William shook his head again, "so we can't do it the way you want."
"Then… How can we maintain the formation then?!" She raised an eyebrow, "don't tell me we got only one shot, that half a minute or whatever!"
"We'll send masters in turns," William began to suspect the reasons behind her questions, "so it's like turns of masters doing the dance in different stages, making the formation all active all the time."
"This is very complicated," she looked around, "and we need to train a lot on it!"
"Yes, that's why I asked them to spread the dance first," William sighed, "yet they are very excited about training for now."
Everyone was pumped up, and he couldn't complain about that. At least they grasped the importance of the dance and showed dedication to learn and execute his plans.
"How does it look to control the formation then?" as she got a little piece of information, Sara's mother pushed again to learn more.
"In time," but William this time wasn't that cooperative with her, "for now, let's just focus on learning the dance and teaching it to others."
"I don't have anyone to teach anyway," she shrugged, before hurriedly adding when she noticed his weird gaze, "and won't teach anyone. I'm not from this world, and hours ago I was your deadliest enemy."
"Don't tell me you are afraid of your life, hahaha!" William teased her, and she only scoffed, before asking again:
"About the materials and the way to build the formation, may you teach me that instead?" she paused, before adding, trying to convince him, "I want to help by adding more formations if they manage to destroy a few…"
"No need," William grasped what she was after at last, "I'll handle that part, so you and others don't need to worry yourself about that. All you need to do is to fight, help activate the formation, and leave the rest to me."
"Tsk!" she could tell he saw through her, "why are you acting like this? I'm on your side now!"
"For now, yes," William evilly smiled, "but can't tell what will happen in the future."
"Stubborn, and idiot at the same time," she laughed before moving away, "I won't stop until I get what I want." Continue your journey with m|v-l'-NovelBin.net
"Not this time," William shook his head, feeling how troublesome and annoying Sara's mother would be from now on.
As everyone started training, William got a time for himself away from them. He went to the main mansion of Lara, where he closed himself in a big hall, took lots of scrolls out, and started thinking about how to do it.
"The portal is buried deep underground," he had two options here, "doing this at the area of the portal is the best. But it'll have lots of limitations in regard to space available for us, and I also can't tell if activating the portal will alter or destroy the laid formations…"
After careful consideration, he decided to lay the formation on both locations. Ignoring the portal area was a terrible mistake he wouldn't fall into.
Even if the area wasn't as spacious as the underground city, it was still big enough to hold hundreds and even thousands of masters.
Not to mention, once the enemy arrived, they should work their best to deprive the enemy from any access to the portal.
The last thing William wanted to see was for the enemies to send messengers back, calling for more reinforcements. Or even worse, for Lingerie herself to run away and not get killed.
"I need to kill her," he was confident that once she got entrapped in his formations, her life would be doomed, "I need that btch to take over that fcked up palace!"
William wasn't a big fan of that palace to try to control it for his own pleasure. On top of that, he wasn't feeling anything towards Sara's mother.
The main reason behind this desire of his, was just like most if not all the roots of his actions; the nine tailed fox!
Back then, the palace was a fierce ally of that nasty fox. The fox used them to kill lots of his master's allies and even personal disciples. William wanted to deprive that monster from such a godly weapon, and perhaps use them to target any other assassins that fox monster would hire.
"Starting the ambush from down below won't do," William knew how hard and challenging this would be if they started attacking all masters coming through the portal, "it's way better to let them lower their guard at the portal area, and focus more on the underground city…"
This was the ideal situation he thought of, and yet it wasn't easy to handle. After all, it was impossible to try to hide people around the portal. The masters coming even if they got limited by the world's laws, they were still having their sharp senses and deeply rich battle experience.
"First lure them up there, then start hitting them from every angle," William highly doubted the surface ambush would be enough to scare Lingerie away, least to alarm the incoming masters and let them send for help.
"We can do it," after hours of planning, he finally felt satisfied with the plan he devised, "yet it'll be a little tricky at the last part."
He knew his enemy this time was going to be quite tough. They weren't normal masters of the outer world. He knew little about Lingerie, but enough to know she never took treason lightly.
Or else she wouldn't be looked upon as one of the legendary heads of the palace's entire history! She was known for being brutal, bloody, and stopped at nothing to get vengeance from those betraying her.
To her, she was using such incidents to remind everyone who was the boss in the palace.
