BXBX NOVEL Chapter 694 Evacuating Everyone
William started to tell the names he had in mind. The leaders of different forces had just a quota of a hundred members each if they wanted to, and all expressed their desire to help.
William didn't want to do things by himself. He decided to divide the remaining masters into two general teams, one led by himself, and the other was led by a force leader called Nonoa.
The team led by William was formed of his guild vices, Lara, and her personal guards. She selected one hundred masters like others, and the other force got thousands of masters.
William stressed that masters had to volunteer in this mission, so no one would be forced to stay behind against his will. He warned them of the dangers awaiting them in this region. And frankly he didn't need to.
Everyone knew about how dangerous it was to be here. As William ended the meeting by giving them permission to start the grand evacuation, he turned his full attention towards the interior of this region.
He already agreed with others to form the two teams, but they weren't together to begin with. He needed to move and join others first, and that meant he needed to cross tens of kilometres like others.
Not to mention the two teams formed wouldn't be together. His team would take the west direction while the other team would come from the east.
"I hope to not activate any trap before meeting up," William kept revising the plans he had in mind, recalling everything related to the traps he found signs of. Then he started to speak about the different traps in the region and how to counter them.
"... As I said, these are just the things I noticed and the traps with obvious marks on the ground. The formations I told you about can work a little against these traps, but I'm not that sure they can stop these traps fully…"
William ended his words while saying these warnings. [Then if the formations you provided failed to stop everything, what shall we do?] a leader expressed his worries, [You said all these traps can't be stopped or defended against, working directly at the spirit level. So does this mean we have no chance in defending against them?]
"As my master used to say, if a single hammer didn't work, then hammer it a ten," William paused before adding, "if one formation didn't work, then use more. But you have to be quick witted and prepared for anything that might appear out of the things I said. Also remember the locations I mentioned before, and if you found anything unusual, just tell me about it."
[Don't worry about us, old bones won't get easily crushed] Stark said amidst his laughs, [Just make sure to not slow down, or else you won't get to the academy at the time we crush it]
"Ok old man let's see who is going to beat who to that place," William didn't reject such a little challenge, even laughed when saying his words.
He knew the last few days were quite stressful for anyone. Be it intentional or not, it was good to have such a light thing in the middle of all this.
[Old man? Fine! Let's see who is going to beat who!]
Stark was on a different side than Lara. and it seemed he decided to go with the other team.
William ended the call before turning to check his rings. He already found substitutes for all the materials needed to build up these formations. He matched the most effects between the two worlds' materials. And the missing effects he tried to compensate by adding more materials in the mix.
He knew by doing this the entire formation might grow unstable or become weaker. Yet it was better than leaving the array with missing effects, as this would ruin the entire array and set of materials without doing anything.
William started to arrange things in his rings, take out piles of materials and ores, arrange them into different rings. He ended up having six different rings filled with materials needed to make six countermeasure arrays.
He wore the six of them, so he'd be able to act fast in the situation needed.
During all this, the world around was filled with lots of ruckus. William took roughly seven hours to go through part of his current possession, arrange the materials in different rings, before stopping what he was doing and checking the area around.
Masters were already getting reformed into teams of five thousand. At the same time, thirteen catapults started to roar and throw people like crazy.
It appeared like these catapults were giant hands tossing people to the far distance. When William watched, even with the rise of the number of masters using these machines, they managed to fly fast, fast enough to get out of his spirit sense coverage zone in a few minutes.
Seeing how the masters were accepting such weird ways out, even looking excited, made William smile.
"It's indeed our destiny to fly," he chuckled, looking around at the happy faces before adding, "we have craved flying since being in these little worlds…"
He then took a few Bullets out and started to check on the development of the evacuation process at other sides.
Everything was going according to plan. And to make things even smoother and safer, the leaders sent people with high spirit sense coverage, and kept speaking and arranging things over with them all the time.
Like this, no risk of getting a batch of masters falling over another or something. And with the healing potions, and the spread of soft mattress and even turning the rocks into a layer of mud by the earth-based masters, the master losses were quite minimal.
William was satisfied with all this.
