Yet all she talked about was the plan of William and how he was capable.
"This…" and after he read the rest of the ssage, the old man's hands trembled faintly. It wasn't sothing normal and instantly attracted the attention of everyone here.
"Uncle… What did she say?" Gran gave his brother a warning glance to silence him before he took the lead.
Things didn't seem like Berry was going to sacrifice herself for the clan. And if that held a great news to them, she was still down there risking her life nonetheless!
"My Berry… She really grew up…" the old man took a deep breath, turned his head to the sky while a weird smile that didn't fit this situation at all appeared as he muttered these words.
"Father…" Callom couldn't hold it anymore. He just took a single step forward before the ssage he tried to snatch and read vanished from his sight.
"Let's focus on the things at hand first," the old man's face changed into a serious one, "we can't let ourselves get embarrassed by the youngsters."
"What do you an?" Everyone was already in deep puzzlent and confusion.
"They have to do sothing, and we have to do sothing else," the old man said, moving his eyes around everyone here, "and don't mistake it. We are going to face danger not lesser in any way than what our kids are facing down below."
"But father…"
"No, none of you will move down there," the old man knew what Berry's father wanted to ask for. And this ti he decisively and firmly put an end to such a matter.
"If you are angry and worried, as any father shall feel, then keep all this deep inside. Soon enough, you'll have your mont to vent all this. Don't disappoint , don't disappoint our kids fighting down there, risking their lives to give us a chance, and don't disappoint your daughter."
The eyes of the old man shone in a fierce light while he watched the small group of young spirit masters moving forward as the rest of the spirit master army down below was coming to their aid.
Seeing this from above, it looked like the entire army down below got reford and changed into what could be best described as a spear tip wave.
It was a famous offensive formation, but it was never used before in defensive battles. It was suitable to use in battles between two armies at open lands.
Yet right now, the old man's gaze was fixed over two; his beloved granddaughter and that smaller and thinner youngster who ran by her side.
This all started by the actions of that youngster. And the content of the ssage he received from him left him baffled and shocked from the depths of his heart.
William asked Berry to find her grandfather and deliver him this ssage before setting off. Berry thought this was his way to keep her away from harm's way.
Finding her grandfather in the middle of such a ssy battle was sothing hard and ti consuming. So, she decided to find a middle solution, as she found their family's butler and handed him the ssage that she wrote down in a hurry.
She didn't get most of the crucial part in the ssage, yet she delivered it by the letter, just like how William said it.
Then she went back and joined William and others just monts before they jumped off the walls to join the battle.
"Won't we join the battle?!!" feeling the doubts over the faces of everyone, Gran couldn't help but speak up what the top powerhouses of the Long clan had in their minds.
"No, we have to wait for the big enemy to be lured first," Despite knowing how weird it might sound, the old man decided to trust William just like his granddaughter did.
After all, the only person here who knew about all this beforehand was none other than the eight years old ex-porter!
At the sa ti, he got another logical reason behind his decision.
If that big enemy didn't co, then helping those kids wasn't going to be too late. The old patriarch decided to watch the initial impact between his clan and the incoming scarlet bears first before deciding anything else.
If William delivered what he promised, a way to solve this impending crisis, then he'd wait for further and anticipate the arrival of his mont to act with everyone here.
If not, then he'd ditch all he read and jump first to help his granddaughter, these kids, and his clan.
He wasn't acting recklessly here, but the words William asked Berry to deliver were simply too shocking. He knew William got secretive knowledge about the blood type monsters from his mysterious master.
And so, it didn't feel that weird for him to know another piece of secrets from his master.
The main issue here was… Was what he claid to be true? Would that calamity co true?
If so, then waiting was indeed the wisest decision to take.
"Acho!" far away from the place where all this happened, William sneezed. He was too busy dealing with the monsters who tried to stop them.
Of course, with the help of all the spirit masters who ca to their aid on their own accord, things started to look much better and far easier than what he initially imagined.
Yet he never stopped moving his knives, hacking all the monsters at the forefront to shreds with the help of other flashy and strong attacks coming from everyone accompanying him.
When everyone joined him in such a crazy charge, none expected such a kid wearing porter clothes to be able to do such a brilliant performance.
He got a weak body on top of that. However, these flashing knives he controlled were always aiming towards the deadlies spot in each monster around.
The growing small army of humans started this crazy charge dealing with the weak and injured monsters near the clan's base. Yet this all changed when they delved deeper.
