Chapter 1253: William's Weird Actions
"Don't think I won't hold you accountable to this promise," Lara warned, "I can ask the help of others, and even you can't stand against them!"
"I won't renege on my words," William raised both hands in the air, acting as innocent as a liar would be. Seeing him doing this made Lara more certain he wouldn't tell her anything.
Yet she didn't refuse his request. She knew him, someone who loved to do things on his own and never thought about asking for help ever before. And that meant the thing he came here to do was quite important, and he truly needed her help. Experience more tales on m v|l e'm,p| y- r
In the next few minutes, she relayed the orders all around her city masters. And in the next half an hour, a huge change occurred on the entire battlefield.
The main change stemmed from the movement of almost half of the strongest spirit master force to attack Sara's mother with Fang. William noticed that even with Fang's brutal attacks, it wasn't enough to make Sara's mother budge an inch.
This wasn't his intention, he wanted her to be fighting for her life. So, he asked Lara to send half of the top masters to help Fang. and that made her hesitate at the start.
The enemies they were fighting weren't that weak or easy to handle. Even with the full force gathered here, it was hard to push forward or kill the enemies up front.
And with the absence of half of the elite masters, it was expected other masters started to struggle.
"Pull back!" William didn't think twice and shouted at the masters around, "let's group together and endure."
"I hope you know what you are doing," Lara gave him a blaming gaze, but what she got in response was a calm smile on his face.
"We are doing great!" he wasn't lying. What he came here for finally happened. Sara's mother was forced to get into the fight herself when half of the top city masters moved. If not, then her elite masters would fall fast, and she'd be left defenceless.
She got her hand forced and thought this was the intention of William. She mistook his actions as if he wanted to chop her elite forces and leave her to the end. So she threw herself bravely in the middle of the ongoing battle and started to help her masters.
On the surface, things looked quite ugly for William's side. The masters were pushed back to get near the hill. And the elite forces sent to help Fang couldn't kill that many of the top masters of the enemy.
It didn't need a genius to guess they were going to lose! Even his close-up friends gave him a weird look filled with questions and doubts.
What made them feel so was the usual look on his face, the one they used to see when he got things under control. And that was what made them question what they were witnessing around!
But they knew him, and soon enough they pushed aside all the worries and waited for the moment when all of this would make sense.
In fact William knew this would look bizarre. He was in a very tight spot right now with everyone else. And if they persisted in fighting, they'd accomplish nothing but having lots of losses on their side.
This was a suicidal act, but he had to do it this way. When Sara's mother got engaged into the battle, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.
"I hope you know it's time to move," William thought to himself, while bidding his time, waiting for the right signal to withdraw.
And after two hours, the signal he waited for finally arrived!
*Rumble!*
A sudden and weird rumble occurred in this world, accompanied by a myriad of lights coming from the ground. The moment this happened, almost all of the battles stopped, all except the ones which had Fang and Sara's mother at.
It wasn't an involuntary action from Fang or the other elite masters. In fact, when William spotted Sara's mother enter the bloody fight, he instantly sent a message using his spirit telepathy:
"Some sort of an earthquake will happen soon. The moment it happens, do anything in your power to keep that btch busy fighting you and others," this was what William said to Fang. And the latter didn't think too much about it, and simply relayed the words over to other masters.
But when the shaking happened, he and other masters realised William wasn't joking. And that made them fight harder, push with everything they got to make sure Sara's mother and her other elite dark masters would be pretty occupied with them.
In their minds, they thought William had a hidden plan that would start by the rumble and shaking. Then it was logical for them to jump to the conclusion he didn't want any of the high-end forces of the enemy to get into the fight.
They were partially right. He did indeed have a hidden plan, but he wasn't aiming to kill his enemies. The moment the shaking ended, and the lights vanished, William shouted on the top of his lungs:
"Retreat! Let's get out of here!"
His words landed, and it was like a deadly explosion occurred. Everyone stopped fighting, even his enemies, all looked in one direction, his.
Weird and heavy silence ushered around the underground city. Even Sara's mother stopped in her actions, couldn't get what went wrong in William's head to say something like that.
"Do as I say," yet he stressed over this order, "retreat!"
He didn't even stand there for a single second, turned around and started running over the stairs like crazy. Seeing him do that made those hesitant and those in disbelief to wake up. And without knowing it, everyone started to run and retreat as he ordered.
"This is wrong… Something is fishy…" Sara's mother watched even the strongest masters who kept her busy retreat.
