After those two days, Meryl's underlings had moved. They were now allocated around the area which was outside the range of the magic cannon. Billy's golems were also ready to move, so they had to put the plan in motion. Still, it seemed that not all of them were exactly confident in the plan. They weren't used to Billy's way of doing things when he was in a hurry.
"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Lucyna asked.
"I can't think of a better way to deal with the Cannon," Billy replied.
The plan was simple, Billy was going to use Reflect on the magic Cannon and destroy it in a single instant. Unless the magic Cannon has some crazy defences, which was pretty unlikely since no one got so close to it until now. As for the rest of the plan, the skeletons and the Golems will surround the people around the enemy base and deal with them accordingly. If they can be stopped and surrendered, they can be captured. If that were impossible, then killing them was the only option.
"What if it doesn't work?" Icarus asked.
"Then I will do something else about it," Billy replied. "Rest assured that today the magic cannon will be destroyed."
"Once Billy deals with the mana cannon, the armies will surround the enemies and we will deal with the most troublesome enemies while we head toward the dungeon," Meryl declared. "There is a small chance that something unexpected will happen, so keep your guard up."
Billy had finished his own preparations in case something happened. He was ready for all possible scenarios. Well, almost… he only didn't know what to do if some sort of external factor helped the maker. Not like the enemy needed any help since he was supposed to be a god-like being already, considering how much powerful the reincarnators can be after obtaining so many innate skills.
After confirming that everyone was in position, Billy approached the enemy territory while flying. In the end, it didn't take long for that massive beam of energy to come flying. Still, then it hit Billy's mana shield and then began to push him forward while the energy was fighting back between pushing him and returning to its source. In the end, it took ten seconds for the attack to be fired back… Billy tried to save some mana, so that didn't happen sooner. Still, he didn't expect that the attack would consume three of his fifteen mana reservoirs.
Nevertheless, the attack returned to its base, and when that happened. A massive earthquake covered the area. It had been even more powerful than the attack that Billy felt months ago… Eventually, a powerful shockwave came from that direction that even knocked down some trees. Billy didn't consider that… but it seemed that a lot of the people around the magic cannon died due to the explosion and because of the shockwave.
Billy flew toward the enemy's base, and after flying for fifty kilometers, he finally the base. Things were quite weird there since a lot of demi-humans had been knocked down, and others had been killed thanks to Reflect. At the center of the base, there was this massive structure that had been shut down thanks to the attack, and it didn't resemble much like a traditional cannon. The thing broke to pieces, but it was like five hundred meters long… it was one-fourth of the size of the crater that now could be found in the center of the base. Most of the structures had been fallen thanks to the impact, and it didn't seem like that many of them would be able to resist the attack.
"I don't see many strong guys here… he had selected them all to become his minions," Billy thought.
Billy's golems and Meryl's skeletons finally were getting closer to the enemy base, and the demi-humans there finally noticed that. They grabbed their weapons to fight, but the result of the battle was pretty much decided… Billy checked their status to see if they had been brainwashed or something, but there were no negative statuses there. They were just that determined. In the end, he approached, and after hitting some guys with stone bullets on their stomachs, he made them fall to their knees.
"Hey, you can understand me, right?" Billy asked. "Why are you doing this? Killing each other for some guy who stayed the last two years inside a dungeon…"
"You are… you have the same aura as him, but you aren't like our savior…" A random guy that had a long-like lion mane said.
"Savior?" Billy asked while frowning. "Come on… another one trying to pretend to be better than the others just because of these powers?"
The demi-humans hadn't been brainwashed… at least not with magic. Billy could see in the eyes of that guy that he had some reason in his head… So, it seemed that there was a piece missing somewhere. Nevertheless, he wanted to ask some more questions, but the other demi-humans got up and tried to attack him. Billy made them sink to the ground with his earth magic and buried them up to their necks.
"This fight is over, you guys can't defeat me," Billy said. "If you want to die so badly, then try to leave that hole."
Although some of them flinched in fear, others demi-humans still insisted on attacking Billy. He knocked them down many times until he got sick and tired of it and then made his golems due to the job. These people weren't insane, but they saw Billy as someone who was different from them. Some saw him like he was something more. Still, others saw him like he was some sort of devil… before doing anything else, Billy decided to talk with Meryl before doing anything else. He also gathered some people that looked fearful enough of them to answer their questions. After dealing with some of them, Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl also had some questions…
