Chapter 1263: William Isn't Bluffing
Enjoy new tales from m-v l'-NovelBin.net
William inspected the ring, and as he expected he found what he wanted in there. It was a doll, small in size, black in colour, with features that looked like Sara's mother.
This was a secret totem she invented using scroll guidance. She found this scroll in an ancient site, and rumours said she wouldn't die unless this doll got shattered.
William couldn't tell if this doll was one of a kind, or if there were still many other dolls she created. But to him, having this doll was equal to laying a weakness technique over her, or a curse.
"We are now good, right?" Sara's mother looked at William in a weird way, "however… If you proved to be wrong, I swear I won't stop at anything until I get your hand chopped off your body!"
"No need to think this way," William evilly smiled, "to me, you are one hell of a chip I managed to get my hands on, hahaha!"
"..."
His words meant one thing for her; he wasn't bothered by any of the current situation. He sat his eyes way further ahead, way away from this small world and way past the normal life at the outer world.
She didn't know why, but William gave her the feeling of standing in front of a very seasoned master. And indeed he was!
"You don't truly expect someone to come from the other side of the portal, right?" hearing his words, and seeing how he acted in front of Sara's mother drove doubts in the spirits of everyone here, Sloth included!
As William was busy handling Sara's mother, Sloth already asked Fang and other big names he knew in Lara's city about the entire situation. He never imagined something like this to happen.
A portal that linked this world with another, it was the second occasion he'd hear about something absurd like this. And on top of that, he learnt that the ones who came from this portal were all strong and quite troublesome foes.
If what William said was true, then more of these troublesome masters would come here later. And that meant a huge disaster for the kingdom, one that none ever imagined or prepared for.
So, he wanted to make sure if William was just playing with her, or what he said earlier was going to happen.
"We need to prepare," but what William said made Sloth's heart drop to his feet, "the upcoming enemies are going to be a challenge, but we'll prevail."
The way he said it was filled with utmost confidence, one that made Sloth settle a little. He knew William and knew he wouldn't over-exaggerate his limits nor abilities.
"You weren't faking it then?" Even Fang was surprised by this. Not alone, but everyone else present here felt the same.
"We need to talk about how to prepare instead of wasting time on such useless debate," William rolled his eyes, "we can win, but not just by our current strength. The enemies we are going against this time are very formidable, very cunning, and won't be easily killed by our weapons and techniques."
His words landed and if anyone had doubts, they had all vanished by now. They all looked at him in vigilance and seriousness, in a way he liked and wanted to see.
"What do you need from us?" Sloth was the first to ask, "this isn't just related to this city, it's related to the entire kingdom. I will personally go back and speak with the king, so…"
Sloth's words' meaning was clear. He intended to get the king personally on this matter. And it meant even if William needed the entire army here, he'd get it!
"That's good," William rubbed his hands in excitement, "we'll need all the help we can get. But it's not about numbers, we need more capable and high end masters than just an entire army."
"Got it," Sloth slowly nodded as he got what William wanted, "what else?"
"We will go down there now and start gathering the underground city materials," William said these words in loud tone, not speaking only to those around him, but to all the masters present here, "our main plan is to lay down grand formations, enough to weaken and paralyse the masters coming. In addition to this, we'll need tons of materials from our world…"
"Leave this to me," Sloth interrupted William when he got what he wanted, "just prepare a list and I'll prepare everything in it. But… Do you have a timeline?"
"Around a week," William paused, thinking seriously and deeply about this point, "give or take a couple days."
"Just a week?!" Sara's mother muttered from the side. After all this, she finally came to stand beside William, listened to what he was saying without giving any comment till now.
"I suspect you came here from the Cyan Peak Mountain in the Dirty Plains, right?" William turned to her and said something she never imagined hearing from him.
"H… How? How do you know about that…"
"No need to explain to you," William calmly said, "the distance from there to the palace is around five days. If Lingerie is getting as half mad as I expect, then she'll call out the present masters guarding the palace. They are roughly a force of a thousand masters, right?"
"True…" the more he spoke, the more Sara's mother's shock deepened. Slowly she started to grow numb to how many shocks he'd present every time he opened his mouth.
What he said was true, and she started to go way beyond her doubts towards what he said earlier. She was now accepting what he said, and realised he had a way to kill her palace's master.
Realising this now made her regret not believing him before. If so, then she'd have not gone into all this trouble. Now she was seen as a traitor from her palace, and had to bet everything on the upcoming battle, one that her life was the most endangered one.
