William had spent three months on Stormy Island.
But did he waste his time on the island?
No. So what was he doing?
He was cozying up the silver-backed monkeys in order to gain a good affinity with them.
When William arrived at Stormy Island, he had found that the silver-backed monkeys could be easily manipulated. He had an idea.
What kind of creatures were the silver-backed monkeys?
They were mythological creatures. This rare species could only be found on Stormy Island, and there existed only a few hundreds of them. Though, their numbers were greater than that of the Behemoths.
The silver-backed monkeys were extremely powerful. Their bloodlines were only Advanced or Grandmaster, and a few of them were even Epic. They were on par with the Behemoths.
The silver-backed monkeys were the dominant species on Stormy Island.
So how could William make use of the monkeys’ power?
William got into the good books of the silver-backed monkeys. He was able to go out together with the monkeys!
Therefore,
For the entire three months,
William fawned on these monkeys.
In the last week, he used trickery to lure away the level 93 Epic silver-backed monkey BOSS.
Then, he drugged the monkey and dragged him to a desolate location before continuously beating him. Finally, he used his Soul Control thousands of times to make the monkey yield.
When William gained full control of the monkey BOSS.
He started to give many benefits to the other silver-backed monkeys.
One of these benefits was weapons.
The leader of the silver-backed monkey had strong control over his tribe. He could lead them to declare war on other races, but it was only possible within Stormy Island.
If the silver-backed monkeys were made to leave the island and their homeland and enter a teleportation portal leading to another strange land, they would definitely have strong objections.
But when golden maces that were five to six meters long were given to them,
The group of monkeys started to smile happily.
These maces were superior to the weapons made of tree branches. They would not let go of the maces even when they slept.
William made use of Bru, the monkey BOSS, to persuade the rest of the monkeys to leave Stormy Island and help William in a battle.
William only had a single chance.
Hence, he arranged for the monkeys to appear in the final stage of the war.
Otherwise, he could only get Bru to help instead of the entire tribe.
At this moment,
More than three hundred silver-backed monkeys, each seven to ten meters tall, dashed out onto the battlefield. The sight shocked everyone.
There was no need to compare the short dark creatures to the monkeys. Even Bloody Crusher, who was a huge Troll, could be considered a little brother to the silver-backed monkeys.
When the silver-backed monkeys ran out of the city gates,
Even the Trolls were astonished.
The Thunder Warhorses were also shocked, and they gave way for the monkeys to attack first.
Goethe Nasis saw the group of bulldozers and was stunned. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his sleeves. He thought it was an illusion.
But then he felt the quaking of the ground and the thundering roars of the monkeys!
He knew that they were for real!
“Roar!” Bru, the leader of the silver-backed monkeys, was full of anger, but he did not dare to betray William.
It was because he knew that William was a brutal master and had even personally suffered.
Back then, William had fed him with good food and drinks for a few days. Then he told Bru that he had a gift for him, and the gift was too large for him to bring over.
Bru had thought for sometime before he decided to take a look.
But when he arrived at a huge cave, he felt something was amiss.
But there was indeed a gift.
Therefore,
He took a few bites…
And collapsed to the ground…
After three days and nights of torture, Bru had been in a daze. It was only when he yielded to William, that he was released.
“Roar, roar, roar!” Bru violently bellowed. He wanted to vent all his frustrations on the dark creatures.
The leader of the silver-backed monkeys had bellowed to indicate the start of the charge.
Hundreds of silver-backed monkeys charged forward.
Many live broadcaster players did not follow them into battle. They stood on high vantage points to record the scenes.
They did not know how to describe these attackers.
Machines of great destruction?
Bulldozers?
Or Mammoths who squashed the dark creatures like ants?
This was the way to describe what was happening
Three hundred silver-backed monkeys charged as vanguards. They swung their maces and cut into the dark army.
In a flash,
The formations of the dark army were sent into disarray. The dark creatures could neither stop the monkeys nor retaliate against them.
The bulldozers rammed through the dark army without any slowing down of momentum.
The devil commanders gaped in shock.
What was that?
The devils did not know that there were such creatures in the Blackleaf forest.
It was manageable if there was only a Great Dragon. The dark creatures could think of a way to kill it. But how could the dark army defend against hundreds of humongous monkeys?
When the monkeys slammed down the thousand-kilogram mace, even the devils could not deflect it.
“Charge!” The Blade Cavalry Legion followed behind the charge of the silver-backed monkeys. But they did dare to get too close. They maintained a distance of a few thousand meters between them and the monkeys.
Occasionally, some unfortunate dark creatures would be flung from thousands of meters towards the cavalry.
The dark creatures were either bashed or tossed over.
The sky at this time was full of dark creatures being tossed around…
The charge of the tall silver-backed monkeys was like tanks overrunning infantry. The dark creatures suffered massive casualties.
“Retreat… retreat!” Goethe Nasis furiously screamed.
At the same time,
Various magic transmissions were heard.
“Counterattack of the Black Lava Dukedom. Counterattack of Altaic’s tribe. Counterattack of the Flaming Tribe. All of them have counterattacked!” An Advanced Legendary devil tore his scroll into shreds. He was blowing off his top.
The vanguard of the dark army had achieved success when it attacked the nine continents.
The vanguard of the dark army also achieved success against the cities of the Legendary continent.
But at this desolate southeastern corner, the dark creatures suffered massive casualties, and they were far from overrunning the cities.
If the defenders managed to destroy the Devil’s Dens before the Advanced devil commander returned, the Advanced Legendary devil did not know what kind of torture awaited him.
“No, I’ll fight it out with them!” the devil angrily roared.
“No, let’s return to the Devil’s Dens first. We have the terrain advantage at the dens, so they won’t dare to intrude. Moreover, their alliance is only short term. They are fighting against each other. If we avoid this fight, they will definitely lose.” Goethe Nasis was now the military advisor.
He was right on point.
William could only manipulate Black Lava Dukedom. He was unable to control the Heavy Spear Tribe and the Flaming Tribe.
Once the counterattack failed, the alliance would break down.
But just as the devil BOSS was about to nod.
A shimmering sword that was a few hundred meters long descended from the dark clouds behind them!
The sword was endowed with unbounded holy light.
It penetrated deep into the Devil’s Dens.
Boom!
Half of the Devil’s Dens exploded, and the resulting shock waves emanated in all directions.
The dark clouds in the sky were torn apart. 3,000 Temple Knights who were on Celestial Steeds descended from the sky.
“How can it be? The Temple Knights should have only intervened after a month.” The Legendary devil stared at the Temple Knights in disbelief.
But William wanted to ask the devil if there was a problem.
Since the Dark World could make a contract with the powerful warriors on the large continent.
Why could William not have a pact with Lancelot?
William had said before that he was going to ask for Lancelot’s help, and the mission would not make Lancelot renege on his code of honor.
So what about an early counterattack against the dark creatures?
It was not something that would not renege on Lancelot’s code of honor!
Conversely, not being able to attack the dark creatures earlier, would go against his code of honor.
In other words,
To all the temple knights, it was an insult if they could not attack the dark creatures earlier.
With such a good excuse, Lancelot was able to retaliate against the dark army at an earlier date.
The ultimate counterattack!
It had officially commenced.
