Chapter 1067 The King Is Here!!!
"But this power rise came abruptly, I need to train to digest it…" he thought such spirit power was still raw and not refined by his spirit and body, didn't get that he already passed this stage.
It was thanks to the tough battles and intense moments he had back at the black fox world. As he trained, he lost himself there. Being at such a stage of power meant he'd need tons of time to gain a little advancement in his spirit power.
And after all this, his spirit was hungry for more spirit power to digest. After hours, Anjie woke up, found him training, making her roll her eyes in frustration.
"A workaholic man indeed," she sighed, before looking at the bright shadows that surrounded him, "they look different… He grew in power, that's my man!"
She happily chuckled, before selecting a spot and started training as well, "I can't fall too much behind, right?" She told herself this while training seriously like him.
As the two locked on themselves on training, and while William continued to absorb the spirit power remained in the fox statue, things out there in the world was heated up.
News spread, and this time it was a much bigger bomb than before. The Fox guild legendary leader announced a crusade, not against dark masters and monsters like usual, but against the big leaders!
The location of this big war was a place that made everyone shocked about it. It was in the all safe for many years, the Scorching Lands city. But as the news came from reliable sources, everyone decided to take part in this or follow the trend of the news.
This time the war came just after a hectic last one, and no one forgot their bitter regretting feelings when William closed the door on anyone from outside to join his guild.
Soon enough, many started to flood the Scorching Lands city coming from various places in the continent, even from the other continent. The establishment of the portal zone there made it quite easier to arrive in that city. And yet Lara's city leaders didn't like it.
"At least he got consciousness to establish these portals through our city," the leaders could do nothing about what William did. After all, he got these portal cores for his many guild branches, and they were all linked to their city.
It meant for anyone to go to the Scorching Lands city, he or she had to pass through their city first. It was something that made everyone feel at ease, then they started to speak about their war preparations.
Everyone wanted to join, and yet more news came. It wasn't good news, but a strict warning: This war isn't easy, and we are going against scary enemies, so don't join if you fear for your life, or are a bit weak!
The news came from a surprising figure, one that no one ever expected to release such a statement, the Novistic Kingdom's king!
These words spread and all of sudden more turmoil occurred. Many knew this warning wasn't a game or a joke, but others focused on another thing that such a statement said in a hidden way.
"The king… He is going to let the kingdom's army take part in this war!!!" Realising such a shocking fact, alongside the strict warning the king issued, made it clear how huge this war was going to be.
It wasn't like any other big wars any master world witnessed in the recent decades, or even millenia. And instead of scaring many away as many formidable masters feared, this statement drew more to come and join such a crusade.
They called it: The Purge of the Century! And others even went to say it was the biggest war in the entire history of their world!
In front of such hype and craziness, no one could do anything but accept these masters, arrange them outside the Scorching Lands city, while preparing and arranging the armies to fight.
Scout teams already were sent to that location Panther once saw in his vision, and the man himself led these teams. According to what he saw, that place was in the middle of nowhere, in open plains, without any hills around.
This was by far the first war against dark masters which didn't happen with hills present around. And that made everyone who knew about this expecting a much fiercer battle than the one they had in their minds.
As an endless stream of masters passed to the city, the kingdom's army came at last. This was a very grand scene and a historical moment for the city, especially when the one leading the army was none other than the king himself.
"I'm going to exert justice and vengeance over the ones who tried to backstab our kingdom and capital, tried to kill me and other loyal masters of my precious kingdom… in this war we'll show the world of dark masters and monsters that humans aren't that weak, aren't pushovers, and we can come and fight them at any time, and win!"
The moment the king stepped out of the portal in the city, he raised his sword high in the air, shouted these words in the middle of a grand gathering of his most loyal masters, his strong kingdom's army masters. And then an earth shattering shout came once, then got repeated while the king led his army outside the city to make a camp there.
Panther and other city leaders went to meet him, and they were surprised to see how highly the king valued their city and appreciated their efforts done here so far.
They were delighted by such comments and praise, but they all knew all this was thanks to one master; William.
The king then asked to meet Panther and Sloth alone, where he heard from them about everything that happened to William.
