"Come… It's either I die, or you die, there is no way around it!" Even if he was scared by such a terrifying sight, William steeled himself and kept racing the steps forward.
It was finally time to show the magical effect of what he spent hours painstakingly making back at the forging ground of the clan.
He intended to create a commotion when he jumped off the walls, using his unique methods, so the higher ups and scary spirit masters would notice him.
Even if he did something to solve this for him, he still didn't have much confidence in the final decision of the clan's higher ups.
But he didn't need to worry about it right now! Only a blinded fool would ignore such a grand scene that was destined to shift the entire battlefield and rock even the ground itself with their achievements.
"It's time, get ready!" William shouted, and this time there was no speck of hesitation in his tone. He was one thousand percent sure of their success.
'This battle… It's my victory motherf*ckers!'
When William jumped down the walls, he instantly called for his flying knives to help.
He knew alone he wouldn't be able to secure himself. Even when others jumped down, he knew the path forward was destined to be paved with many lives on his side.

Yet the sudden twist of events took him by surprise, and delight. He didn't expect that by the movement of a few kids, the grownups would get stirred up in such a way.
And everything got better when Berry was spotted.
"Let me go! Why the hell are you blocking my path?!!"
A thunderous shout came from one spot at the wall. It was loud, but not enough to overcome the chaotic noises coming from the battlefield down below.
So not too many noticed this enraged shout from Berry's father, Callom.
"Easy, do you think I don't care for her?" Berry's grandfather showed a displeased look on his face.
"If so, then why are you stopping me? Father! This is Berry! My girl! My child! Let me go! I'll go now and kill every single one of those bastards, starting with that damn kid first!"
"Stop this crazy act right now!" Berry's grandfather shouted in such an annoyed tone before pointing towards the outer battlefield, "see for yourself. Even if he took her deep down the danger, directly clashing with these monsters, he made sure to keep her safe. And he has something up his sleeves!"
"I don't care! It's Berry!"
"It's about the entire clan, not just Berry!"
Under the father and son's intense fight, everyone cowarded and took a silent stance. Even Gran didn't join in, and the fourth elder couldn't help but shake his head.
He met William before and got how annoying and troublesome it was to deal with this kid. His methods were unique and uncommon, and his personality was peculiar.
Unlike any kid and genius he met before, this one gave him a special feeling and left a deep impression behind.
"I know! If you just let us, go down there and fight, we wouldn't have lost this much!"
"Are you questioning me? Dumb headed fool! If not for the distress we are facing, I'd have taught you a lesson like a rogue kid!"
Berry's father realised that amidst his fuming rage, he spouted something he shouldn't.
But it was too late to regret it.
"See for yourself, idiot! What are those coming at us? Can you tell me for sure that you can stop them? That we, alone, can stop them?" Berry's grandfather pointed at the direction of the falling trees and the gigantic dust clouds before adding, "I felt something amiss the moment this kid spoke that nonsense before! Don't ask, don't try to speak! Just see and ask yourself this… Are we able to defeat them?"
Berry's grandfather was at his patience limit here. He first thought this was going to be a tough battle, yet his clan would be secured in the end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe reached out to the academy and nearby allied clans for help. As expected, they gladly accepted and formed two strong armies to help.
But eventually things started to go south, and it all started with William!
He was too busy to track this kid's actions and locations. But when the fourth elder sought him out for advice and narrated what William said, he started to feel unease.
The words of an outsider weren't enough to shake him. But from what he heard; William got a good point indeed. In fact, he got the feeling that William was acting based on a firm belief that a devastational disaster was imminent.
Even though he doubted William and never got to clear such a suspicious cloud inside his mind about him yet, he couldn't refute what that kid said.
William spoke about their entire defensive plans as if he was present when the clan higher ups decided to lay it centuries ago!
William knew exactly what they planned to do, and even knew the limitations of their defences. This wasn't something a little eight years old kid would know!
No matter how he suspected him, he couldn't bring himself to doubt William's claims. And when William hinted about the presence of a far larger monster tide coming their way, Kong couldn't help but lose himself in deep thoughts.
Such a trivial possibility was so grave to be neglected. As the fourth elder reacted and sent the fifty silver grade spirit masters to help William, the old patriarch here also agreed on this decision.
And even more, he started to pay close attention and spy on William's actions.
He got to hear about everything William said after finishing what he was doing. Even if Berry's grandfather never knew what William wanted to do here, his heart skipped a beat when William spoke about the true nature of the scarlet bear monsters.
