They already told William everything they found, and there wasn't much to say anyway. That place was filled with tons of masters, lots of traps, and hellishly strong defences.
The moment they saw him using their spirit sense, they got shocked by the weird and intimidating shadow encompassing him. Yet he told them it was nothing, after listening to their description and thoughts about it.
"It can't be built overnight... This must have been built sooner after the expansion of the city," William muttered while knowing how hard this battle would be.
"Is there any weak spot there? A place we can use to get inside?" he could tell how dangerous that trench was. Trying to cross it was futile, and even if it was impossible, it'd take much time and lots of losses to do it.
He had to think of another way to deal with this, a weakness he could exploit no matter what.
If he had time, he'd prefer to run around and scan the place himself. But there wasn't much time left before the two upcoming monster tides appeared.
"The trench surrounds everything," Lara bitterly sighed, "we already circled the entire place. It's huge, and it's fully surrounded by that trench."
"Without the falling bridges, we have no access there," Sara added, "we need to think of a new way to enter."
"Hmm... I have a way," William looked at the fort up ahead, and before he'd continued his words, all of his friends looked at him in a weird way, "What? Why are you giving me such a look?"
"We do know what plan to do," Berry rolled her eyes, and many nodded, "you plan to go there alone, again!"
"Well... My hands are forced here, right?" he felt wryly weird from her and others' attitude towards him. He indeed thought about going inside alone, as he had a way to do it. But they didn't seem to like that idea.
"Why not try it once? Just once? Take one with you out there..."
"It's too dangerous like you see," William interrupted Ro's words, "and I'm not that sure I'll even make it."
"As you said you will, then you will make it," many said in the same breath, while others nodded in agreement.
"Anyway," he coughed twice, clearing his throat, before adding, "I want you to get ready. The moment I've opened a path inside, you need to push forward and secure it."
"You plan to lower one bridge?" Anjie saw directly through his plan, and he simply smiled.
"You said it, there isn't any other way in but this," William looked at the grand fort, knowing this was going to be quite hard to pull, "just be ready. I need to start preparing."
He didn't stop there, walking towards the trench, alone. His guild masters here were in tens of thousands, and they all witnessed how their legendary leader, the one who established all this, walked towards the grand set of enemies alone, without showing a single moment of fear or hesitation.
William approached the trench and could see how wide it was. It stretched out for hundreds of metres, a distance that wasn't easily crossed by any master.
He was sure any high-end master would be able to trespass such distance in a single jump, but that wasn't the issue. The main issue was the high possibility of having tons of traps lying up ahead, that huge wall, these fortifications, and the masters standing on top of everything there.
He knew his dash technique could carry him across that trench, but the main challenge would start the moment he'd land there.
The trench was lining the walls directly, without a single piece of land or a rock standing there. That meant the moment he moved, he had to think of a way to deal with the walls and all the defences out there.
"I can add up two dashes together," he knew he could do that if he calculated things right and timed his dash to stop midway over the trench. Doing so would let him hover over the trench for a few seconds, and he just needed one second to change his trajectory and aim towards the top of that wall.
The walls were at least two hundred metres in height, a distance he could easily cross. But he was going against gravity, and that meant the distance he could cross was greatly decreased. Not to mention the moment he moved towards that direction, the enemies wouldn't wait for him to land on the walls and would start firing at him with everything they got.
He could expect something hellish during the few seconds he'd take to reach the top of the walls. The solution to this was by either using defence or crushing offence. He didn't like defending, not to mention he lacked anything that could stop such a crushing force.
So he had only to use power to contend against power, and he was thinking about his options while walking towards that trench.
"I need to arm up first," as he arranged the attack options he had in order, he started to dash around. With every dash, he stacked one attack over his tail. After upgrading to dark gold grade, this would be considered the first real fight he had, a chance to see how his fighting prowess reached.
The enemies on top of the walls grew restless the moment he showed up. The golden shadow that enveloped him was quite intimidating and eye catchy, hard to miss or ignore.
And when he started to dash around, they grew more nervous and started to release tons of their attacks.
They got ballistas out there! They were known already in the world, but they were quite rare and pricey. Just when the masters behind saw these ballista release their bolts like rain towards William, their hearts clenched.
Ballistas were quite fierce and deadly, especially from a short-range distance. They released fast arrows, ones that were more like spears than arrows.
