Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Yet after six days of continuous fighting, the enemy couldn't advance and neither Arthur's forces managed to rout the enemy and exterminate them.

The situation was best described as a stand still. The enemy kept his task force in the center of his gigantic armies. As for dealing with Arthur's armies, they kept sending weak mages to exhaust Arthur's forces without losing much of their real strength.

Arthur read through their plans and ordered Gege to start sending out skeletons in large numbers towards the seven places.

At this stage, and after two long years of preparations, the skeleton army grew to a terrifying figure. In addition to that, the necromancers managed to summon a large number of lichs, able to summon weak skeletons on their own.

Per Arthur's orders, Gege sent almost half of the lich's army towards the seven battles alongside a large number of skeletons to support his forces there.

If his enemies decided to use this attrition way of fighting, then he shouldn't let his enemies have it their way.

If they wouldn't send their strongest, then Arthur wouldn't send his as well. If they planned to kite down the forces he had, he would face this using an endless supply of skeletons.

After all, losing skeletons wouldn't cost him anything.

This sudden move and change in his tactics seemed to enrage his enemies. Just after half day of the skeleton's arrival and his mages withdrawal from the scene, the enemy big forces started to take action.

But the moment they moved, they were surprised to see Arthur's elite forces ready to meet them.

After all this was Arthur's plan from the start. Luring the tiger down the mountain, then killing the tiger and seizing the mountain.

During the next couple of days, brutal exchanges erupted all around the seven battles. Reports of massive killing among the enemy elite forces kept coming all the time. In return, Arthur's side lost a considerable number as well, but not as high as the enemy losses.

Gege's voice was brimming with excitement whenever she came to report about new kills. She felt this war was heading towards their victory, and the enemy would be crushed eventually no matter what.

Arthur agreed with her last statement, the enemy would be crushed in the end. But that didn't mean this war was still leaning towards their side.

According to what Gege said, the more elites killed from the enemy side, the more elite reinforcements appearing from the portal.

What astonished her was that the reinforcements number was exactly the same as the losses.

She couldn't get the point behind this, but how come Arthur couldn't grasp it?

'So they are trying their best to keep us busy at these seven places,' Arthur's earlier assumption was proven right at this moment. If the enemy had a limited number of elites, then he wouldn't reinforce all the battles like that.

The fact the enemies sent out the exact number of the lost elites meant three things. First they had a large number of elites ready to join this fight, or else they wouldn't send reinforcements rashly and without care like this.

The second point was the fact that these seven battles weren't meant for defeating Arthur's troops, but to distract them.

If the enemy wanted to crush Arthur's forces, then he should send more elites and higher forces to achieve such a result.

After days of fight and killing, it became apparent that Arthur's forces weren't weak.

And the third point was that the real attack wasn't anywhere nearby. From the calm detachment of these reinforcements, Arthur could read the mood of his enemies.

If Arthur was calm, then his enemies seemed to be calmer. This made him wary for the first time since this war.

He never faced that dark angel grandmaster mage and his forces in such a mood. His enemy was always arrogant and rash, not conceited and calm like this time.

'So you have a good plan, one that you believe I would never figure out or even crash… Interesting…' Arthur knew such calmness wouldn't come without confidence.

And to be confident to win Arthur, who had already crushed that enemy of his many times already, meant his enemy had a rock solid plan, believing so much in its success.

That meant this plan depended not on what was happening inside the empire world, but actually what would happen inside this prison world.

After all his enemy wouldn't be this confident unless he was sure Arthur wouldn't be able to step in the picture and turn everything around like always.

At this point the tornado around Arthur vanished. Arthur planned to attack the green mist and keep consuming it. However he now refrained from doing so.

He sent all the elites and generals he brought back to his empire world. The current prison world looked really a desolate one. No sound was there, no sign of life was present. The only one standing and breathing was just him.

Arthur thought about many things, but when considering that treacherous enemy of his, he decided to not risk anything for now.

He needed to push his enemy to show his cards first. In this war, the first one to move out of these two powerhouses would be the one to lose in the end.

"Gege, bring me normal mages inside… Send me ten thousands in one batch," he suddenly said, making Gege flustered by what he just ordered.

'Are you sure?!!' she asked in bewilderment, 'we just sent back everyone with much difficulty!'

"Just bring normal mages, not anyone strong or special," Arthur didn't explain much as he knew Gege could read his mind. Plus the other two voices in his mind would be smart enough to read what he wanted to do here. "Also prepare more just in case I want them."

'So you want them to come from the garden world or…' Gege asked while she already knew the answer.

"Bring them all through the sphere portal."
