Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

[Can you at least respond to me?] Lara's voice came next to let him know how many times she tried to contact him and failed. William took her Bullet out, and didn't bother to explain anything, "What was the question again?"

[Wow! If I didn't end up dead by monsters, then I'll fall under your attitude!]

"Just say what bothers you," William held back his laughs to not enrage her more. He could imagine her and others of his team vices trying to reach him in the past hours without getting a single response.

It must have drawn her crazy. As for his team's vices, they already experienced such blackout moments five years ago.

[When will we do it? I'm talking about that weird stuff you made my people make and distribute all over the city… When will we release it?]

William looked around and felt that even after the passage of two hours, things weren't that bad. The masters on the city walls seemed to be organised, enough to take down lots of leopards before they'd arrive at the walls. He saw holes and cracks at the walls but felt like they were the left scars of the internal strife that happened before all this started, not caused by these leopards.

"We'll wait for now," William knew releasing such a weapon right now wasn't going to greatly impact the ongoing war. He was confident about his toxin effect, but timing was very important to get the best results out of it.

He noticed that Lara was acting a bit impatient. It was quite unusual for the general of an army to consider using his deadliest weapon right from the very start of the battle. This wasn't overconfidence, this was rashness and lack of experience.

[The monsters are coming in huge numbers! We need to act and stop them!] At this moment, Lara's words and tone proved her lack of battle experience. She made the wrong decision at such a crucial moment. "No, it's not yet the right time to make such a move. Just stay put and don't activate anything yet."

William knew she wouldn't get the point behind it. Trying to convince someone with something he never experienced enough before was impossible. Yet he hoped she'd listen to him, or else they'd waste a lethal weapon by using it at the wrong time.

[Fine! Just let me know when you need them activated] She seemed quite depressed by his firm rejection. And William could only sigh.

He then turned towards the area around. The monsters were coming in large numbers indeed, but the combined efforts of the arrays and the masters defending the city made it impossible for them to touch the city walls.

William knew this was going to change soon enough. The moment the turtles found their way here, things would turn south for sure.

"I need to arrange a few teams out… Lara isn't in the right mood to do anything; shall I ask Stark then?" William thought for a few seconds before deciding to use the help from both his guild and Stark.

[Are you asking for a group of a hundred high stage dark gold grade masters? With at least three at the pinnacle leading them? With earth and wind elements? What for?!!!] Stark's voice came much calmer than Lara's, and yet he was still greatly startled by what William just asked.

This was a very stressful time, where every master counted. Not to mention they didn't have enough masters to begin with. William knew Stark got the right to be surprised and doubtful, but he really needed these masters.

"I saw different types of monsters coming here," William paused before adding, "don't tell Lara about it. She… She is handling the situation hard enough already."

[I understand. So, this team is needed to stop them? Just a hundred of them? Will this be enough? I can dispatch others if you need to]

"No need, I'll fill the gaps with my guild members," William knew Stark meant it. But the monster tide wasn't just formed of turtles and leopards.

He didn't see any other breed of monsters, but that didn't mean there weren't others at the back. So, William decided to play it safe, let the high-end masters of the city handle any new monster appearing while he'd take the most troublesome turtles down.

William already sent his orders to his guild, arranging them into different teams based on their spirit elements and techniques. The ones with earth and wind-based elements were asked to be grouped together and be sent to get stationed near the walls.

As for others, he asked them to be arranged based on the level of destruction and might in their techniques. He didn't care what type of elements they got, and he knew his vices didn't get enough time to test everyone like usual. So, the best method to know who was dependable and useful and who was a burden was by assessing the strength of their techniques.

And so he only lacked one thing, an edge team that would be like the sharpest edge amidst all this. He was sure his guild members were enough to dig the holes and flip the turtles on their backs. But the task of taking them down was something they couldn't do.

As for the leopards, he already prepared his strongest masters in his guild, armed up with the deadliest techniques to keep these leopards busy. At the same time, if things went south, there were the masters of the city, not to mention the toxin spread all over the place.

If not for their hard scaled shells, William would prefer to just use the berserk toxin and turn these monsters against each other. But that wouldn't work. Even if a group of turtles turned against each other, they'd take ages to kill one another. As for using the leopards to take them down, it was just mere fantasy and pointless dreams.
