Chapter 1275: I Need Five Minutes!
"She wants to buy herself extra time to fix the portal," there was no other explanation for her to take such a huge cost to send such a large number of masters in one go.
She wanted her masters to take control of the portal zone, causing lots of trouble for us, buying herself enough time to repair the portal.
And that also meant another thing; "she is coming in the next wave!"
If he was in her shoes, then he\'d feel threatened and pressured from what happened. She would come here in the next wave, and this wave would have tons of masters, enough to crush any resistance here.
So, it was a life or death situation for laying down the formations in this region. He must do it before she\'d come, and this turned entirely into a race of time battle.

He previously intended to take his time in laying down these formations. His friends and other guild masters just took a theoretical lecture about how to lay it down. And even if few of them witnessed him laying down the formation before, this was far from enough.
He wanted them to take their time in learning and experimenting how to do it. But now it was too late to do so. "Listen up, we would do it right from the start," he turned to everyone coming with him, "keep attentive, if I shouted something to correct, do it at once and without hesitation. No time to ask anything, keep your questions for later, got it?"
"Yes!" they all shouted in one breath, while recalling what William said before about laying down the formation. It was easy to dig holes, but it was quite challenging to recall the right order to lay down the materials.
William also asked them to lay down one material first, then wait for him to do something, then they could continue. He intended to link all materials in all the holes together, one layer at a time.
Doing it on a normal day would be easier than doing this in the middle of a hectic battle. The newly arrived masters from the portal seemed to know what to do, moved fast to attack the masters around without the need to even know the layout of the portal region.
It seemed they wanted to kill all masters close to the outer area first, where most of William\'s masters were. Doing this would isolate the masters in the portal area, making their fate quite sealed.
The outer world masters formed twenty spear like formations, heading straight to the outer area here. Once they did that, every seasoned master knew what they wanted to do.
"Don\'t let them approach the border area!"
"Attack them, stop them at once!"
Shouts erupted from all the experts in the area, directing all the attacks towards the incoming twenty spear formations. William looked at this situation and couldn\'t help but smile in return. "This battle is going way faster than I thought," he turned his attention towards his people, as they were digging the holes first in the places he marked for them.
The first formation was going to cover an area of half kilometre. He wanted to lay down the formations one by one. But it seemed this was going to be quite impossible.
It was clear that this world\'s masters were struggling. They managed to stop many outer world masters, but still at least five spear formations were approaching their destination quite fast and uninterrupted at all.
It was expected with such difference in power and numbers, pouring all odds into the outer world masters favour. So, he instantly shifted his plans, and adapted to the emerging situation
"Dig holes ten metres to the north of the holes you dug," he shouted, "then dig another set of holes five metres to the east, then seven metres to the south…"
He kept giving out orders, ending up making his guild masters dig holes for twelve formations at the same time. It was quite challenging for him to link materials in all these holes, not to mess any hole or order. But he had to do it.
Laying down these formations successfully would turn this area into a strong base for all masters here. Even if the entire twenty thousand outer world masters flooded here, they wouldn\'t be able to take down the masters here fully.
Laying down the base turned to be the top priority now considering the entire situation. Luckily, he got enough time to do so, before the outer master would lay their eyes over this spot.
Yet soon enough, the outer world masters noticed what he was doing here with everyone. And without fully knowing everything, they felt the threat and started to rally themselves and head towards here.
"Stop them!"
"Everyone defend this spot!"
"Don\'t let them gather here!"
Many shouts came, and soon enough these world masters rallied as well, forming a strong line of defence. The battles started to become very bloody, with both sides losing masters on an alarming rate.
"How long do you have?" Sloth couldn\'t help but shout at William from afar, "we can\'t hold more than a few more minutes!"
"Give me five!" William said something that made Sloth, and other masters here feel more pressure.
"Ok, we\'ll secure five for you," Sloth knew it was going to be quite hard to do it, but there was no other option. If they lost their foothold here, it\'d be quite harder to reclaim this area again.
Everyone knew by now the importance of the portal area. Taking control of it meant controlling the future of this battle.
