Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Leaders in any monster army are those who hold special powers and intelligence within them. You may think that monsters with dark gold spirit grades would be the leaders. But this isn't the typical case…"

William took in a deep breath before deciding on which parts of his vast knowledge he should impart on them here.

"Like humans, we got offensive type, defensive type, and strategist type generals; monsters also got the same with different names and attitudes."

"Brother William… How?!!!" Kong couldn't hold his shock and doubts, looking in a weird way towards William.

Either the other party was making all this up, or he got the luck to stumble over such huge secrets by chance.

And Kong didn't believe in the former. From William's unique forging technique he just learnt, he knew this porter looking dude wasn't simple.

Of course, all of the spirit masters here were oblivious to the little lie William kept spreading about his master. And that made someone like Kong had such doubts.

"It happens that I got a very formidable master," William realised that none of them knew about his little lie. So, he returned to use the card of his mysterious master to shove off any doubts, "he told me all this and told me much more as well."

He didn't want them to keep questioning him about such facts.

And when he said it, everyone's eyes shone in the brilliance of understanding and envy. Many looked at him, wondering if being a porter was part of the spell of luck that he got or something.

"So… Are you saying that these scarlet bears are the monster tide generals or what?" Lang jumped over that point and returned the talk back to the right track William desired.

"No, but it means the formidable ones among them will be generals," William paused, "and if there are a single general in an army, things will be much different than facing a leaderless bunch of enemies, right?"

For a second, those who were smart and experienced enough like Lang and Kong, got a cold shiver down their spine when they heard his words.

And they started to grow a gloomy expression over their faces.

They recalled what William said before, and how they kept mocking him. Even if William didn't provide any proof, yet from the calmness in his tone, the logic in his words, and the confidence he spoke with, none doubted the integrity of his claims.

"Did we do that to take down their leaders?" Kong's eyes shone brightly, but William's next shake of head made all his hopes fly out of the window.

"We are too weak and unprepared to take such beasts head on," William exerted enough control over himself so he wouldn't add what swelled up in his mind.

He wanted to say even if the higher ups of the academy and the clan merged together, taking the general leader here wouldn't be possible without many preparations.

And that was why he was bossing them around all this time! They were the needed preparations to bring down such general calibre foes in the monster tide.

And that was just one aspect of the true value of what they made here during the past few hours.

"Then…"

"We are not going after these scary dudes, we are going after foiling their plans," William said, and he knew such a concept was hard to grasp by these kids.

So, he added, "for any general, even the most genius ones, they needed soldiers to execute their orders in the correct way. We can't take down the head of the snake, but our little group here can act against the traps and schemes of the generals, rendering all their plans hopeless."

"This…"

"Can we do it?"

"But brother William, we are speaking about a few hundred thousand monsters!"

"Is this even possible?!"

Many exclamations of shock spread among many, and William didn't mind them.

"I won't brag and say we can do miracles out there but remember that we were working hard for the past hours. These things you take as light as nothing good are enough to create such a miracle."

He didn't boost or explain in much detail about his plan. If he did, they either wouldn't believe him or reverie him as a god or something.

Of course, none of this was his true aim from doing all that. He wanted to just help the clan, secure the situation, and save a capable clan on the side of humans.

"So, we are going to use these arrows and spears… For what?" Kong suppressed the urge to keep arguing about what William just said.

Time passed fast while they were speaking and running. They were already on the verge of the grand wall of their clan without realising it.

Beyond that wall, shouts and noises of brutal fighting kept ranging all over the place. And hearing such noise quite clearly jolted everyone awake from the immersion William drowned them in.

"I'll tell you at the right time," William switched back in a flash to his past harsh personality, "but I can tell you one thing as a fact… To do such a miracle, we have to go all the way out there."

"Out… Where? Out there?!!" This time, it wasn't just Claine who spoke in doubt and shock, but many did.

"William… This…" Berry was happy from the course of discussion that happened just now. From her clan's kids around, she could feel the hostile attitude towards him wavered and changed to the good side.

But all of this vanished the moment he spurted out his last words.

"This is the moment of truth when you will all have to choose a side," William stopped abruptly, turned around and faced the anxious and scared faces of everyone here.

"I know that asking you, a weak spirit master who can't fend off themselves against any monster out there, to go out and venture to the frontline is crazy. However, I have to tell you this…"
