YM778.TV Chapter 635 I Didn't Mean It!
It was another monster, one that craved for upgrading itself to the higher realm. The moment the monster tide appeared, this monster woke up from its deep slumber, and started marching fast towards here with its fastest speed.
This monster came, but not from any area adjacent to the city. It was originally situated on the opposite side of it, in between the city and the Scorching Lands, hundreds of kilometres away from here.
It was the same scary bear monster which William stumbled across before. William never expected that and wouldn\'t know until a long time later.
Yet such appearance of this monster delayed the grand movement of the monster army. They had to fight against it. As that monster entered into deep slumber again, madly sucking these monsters\' spirit power once they stepped close to him, they had to struggle to take it down.
The grand monster army rallied itself to take down this uninvited rude guest. Yet this monster proved to be something scarier than what they thought.
The battle lasted for two days straight between the two sides. And during which, Rick couldn\'t believe what was going on. Richard tried to ask him to intervene, control the monsters to ditch fighting that weird storm thing, and focus on attacking the city. Yet Rick didn\'t have any control over the situation.
The two had to powerlessly stand on the side, watching what was going on between the two sides. It wasn\'t a real battle at first, with monsters drawing closer to this storm, before they\'d vanish inside, never coming back again.
Until the second day passed, the monsters kept surrounding this storm, failing to do anything to it. The storm didn\'t move. It just appeared out of nowhere, coming in fast speed, before stopping like it ran out of gas or something.
Then the turtles came. And with them, another scary type of monster appeared. The entire army was made of ranks, with leopards being the fodders, turtles responsible for the defences, and that new monster handling orders and the deadliest attacks in the entire army.
Once the turtles appeared, they defended the monsters that came from behind. Then scary attacks landed at this storm for fifteen hours straight, ending up for the sleeping bear to get awakened.
He suffered lots of wounds and damage, ending up for it to run for its life. The monster army kept chasing after it for another ten hours, before finally stopping after this bear monster left the entire region.
This cost the entire army more than three days. They even took half a day to organise their messed-up ranks and lines, before marching again towards the city.
This time, it was the real deal.
William didn\'t know any of that. At this moment, he was feeling truly puzzled. Others were already cheering, with their morals skyrocketing, reaching off charts.
The city was getting attacked for days, but nothing happened. Not a single monster managed to breach the city walls, never touched the walls even.
The shouts of victory were already spreading for more than a day, with all the masters shouting with each wave of leopards getting crushed.
William knew this was great indeed, but he also knew this was all wrong. He saw with his own eyes the turtles and saw how densely packed the monster army was. And yet not a single turtle was seen, and the main bulk of the monster army was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was feeling excited, all but him. Even Lara and Stark kept pestering him about the high-end team of masters he asked for from before, asking him to send them back to the frontline.
In their eyes, in everyone\'s eyes, this war was going to end with their crushing victory against all odds. And against all their high expectations, William didn\'t feel so.
Even when he was asked directly to send the team he took back, he didn\'t hesitate or flinch, directly refusing. He didn\'t know what delayed the grand army of monsters to arrive here. But he was pretty sure the main army would arrive sooner or later.
Once that happened, the entire situation would grow to an unprecedented level of danger. Yet with such high morale, and the return of the once lost feeling of supremacy and confidence, William started to hold more hope than ever.
[Why won\'t you listen? These masters are left to do nothing! Do you know how terrible they\'ll feel by seeing their friends and even rivals enjoying such glorious moments, while they just stood back and did nothing but watch?] Lara spoke to him again, and William rolled his eyes.
During all this time, he didn\'t even rest for a single moment. He spent tons of elixirs during the past four days. Be it for his personal use, or for Charley, he spent close to hundreds of elixir bottles already. In return for that, he got lots of cores and materials that he lost count for.
And yet he wasn\'t that happy about any of that. He kept his vigilance. And the more time passed, the more he grew unsettled.
At some point, he even wanted to go out again and scout what was going on at the monster army. But he wasn\'t sure if he should leave the city at these stressful and dangerous moments. After all, Lara had zero experience in dealing with such grand wars. And the entire masters here were intoxicated in their feeling of victory.
"I told you, I need them…"
[Come on! You have been holding them back for days! Don\'t you see? Nothing bad will happen…]
*Rumble!*
Even before she\'d continued her words, a loud rumble occurred, with a much fierce trembling of the ground.
William turned towards the city, seeing even the walls tremble faintly under the heavy steps of the incoming grand number of monsters.
[I… I didn\'t mean it…]
