Chapter 1127 The Counter Plan
They were risking everything, and that made him think deeply about the right way to do it. If they were taking such lengths to protect themselves and others, he also needed to do the same.
"I don\'t know if this will work or not, but hopefully it will," he looked around before deciding to go through with this plan.
The first thing he did wasn\'t to go back to join the ongoing fight but retreated all the way towards the digging teams. Right now, the digging team divided itself into ten smaller teams, all working hard and fast to dig the ground and form the linear holes.
"Change of plans, you need to dig this way," As he arrived at the teams, he started to give new instructions. At such timing, there wasn\'t anyone who\'d question anything he said.
Even if he asked them to stop digging, they\'d do this as well. As he finished touring the digging teams, he returned to study something that kept him puzzled for a long time; the floating rocks.
*Boom!*
Just as he arrived at a group of them, he went to the ground and started digging it using his Holy Sword technique. He removed dirt and rocks fast until he dug for ten more metres. And there he found something buried underneath every rock.
"It\'s like I guessed, these rocks are just landmarks to help the formations work together…" he found different types of ores at different longitudinal holes, each having different values and effects.
Some had the ability to gather spirit power, others had the ability to concentrate and filter the spirit power. The last were the ones that could channel spirit power, letting it go berserk and explode.
All of these worked best to serve the three formations. And William looked at the holes dug so far before he summoned his monstrous weapons.
"Sloth, Fang, I know you two and others are hearing me… I need these materials fast, any amount will do, but the more the better…"
He started to narrate a short list of materials, and then he started to add more to the list, acting as viable alternatives to the materials the first list had, "Place these in rings, and then deliver these to my monstrous weapons… Go, collect rings from everyone, and come back fast!"
He didn\'t give any of them time to ask or question his weird request. He released them after these high-end masters, controlling them with part of his mind. And then he started to dig the ground, using his Holy Sword Technique.
The base was filled with the diamond-shaped ores lying throughout the entire area. And just a few meters on top of these, there were these special ores placed there. He dug the places of these ores, using the floating rocks as a guide.
As he did that, the high-end masters started to do what he asked for. They didn\'t just use things that belonged to them but also spread the news over, asking other masters here to donate anything as long as they had it in their acquisition.
No one asked about getting paid back for doing so. They all knew this order came from William and heard about the weird things he was doing back there at the holes dug by the digging teams.
They knew he must have a good reason to do something like this, to ask for such materials. They didn\'t know what he truly aimed for but knew he was doing this to save them, save everyone else.
So they all donated the ores needed without any complaint. Soon enough, the high-end masters gathered tons of ores belonging to the two lists, and gathered them in different rings, before handing them over to William\'s monstrous weapons.
During which, everyone watched the digging teams change their way of work, digging the ground in parallel transverse lines. They seemed like making the entire ground behind a honeycomb appearance, and that made everyone quite puzzled.
"What is he trying to do?" Fang and others kept asking themselves this, especially when seeing William taking the rings from his monstrous weapons and starting to replace part of the ores he found during his digging with the newly acquired ones.
He didn\'t exchange everything, just replaced parts with new ones. On a few occasions, he\'d add more ores at places that got no ores at, as if he was building up something.
And indeed he was. But he wasn\'t building just one formation, but three! Not including the one formation he was modifying along the way.
As he asked others to dig the ground in crosswise lines, more of the floating rocks started to appear there. Masters digging the ground weren\'t all high-end masters, but the few who had enough spirit power coverage to watch what William was doing asked everyone to dig the ground below the floating rocks until they\'d reached the diamond-shaped tiles underneath.
Doing so was aimed at helping William, and he noticed and highly appreciated such help. He wasted lots of time and effort to dig these parts, even if he used his monstrous and flying weapons to do so. The area he needed to unearth was vast enough to make him take an entire day to finish laying down the foundations he wanted, even with the help from others on the digging teams.
During which, the masters at the frontline showed signs of exhaustion and mental fatigue. They couldn\'t keep the enemies out and had to retreat further deeper to stop the enemies that passed through their fragile frontline.
Things were declining faster than what William and other high-end masters expected. The main reason for this was the rapid exhaustion of the weaker masters. Even with potions and elixirs, they couldn\'t maintain their top fighting abilities for much longer.
William was attentive to all this and kept an eye on everything going on at the frontline.
