Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Lily's comment was welcomed by Arthur's smile, as he knew this was part of the effect of the grand potion made of his and the clans' potions combined.

He never thought that all these monsters were already affected by the potion of the big clans, which made him realize how deep their plot ran, and how mighty it was.

However they were unfortunate to meet someone like him here. what he felt doubtful about was that this world seemed not to have great alchemy in it. yes they were really advanced in blacksmith technique, but he didn't see anything like it in alchemy!

If there was such advancement in alchemy in this world, such a scheme would have been long revealed by many, countered already, like what he did here.

Arthur then went to sit on a side of the mountain, where he took out many meat from his ring, handed some to Lily, as he sat eating while he started investigating what he gained from that camp.

He knew that camp down there was a past story now, as after the end of all this, the camp would be there no more. Even traces of it wouldn't be there.

The first thing he checked was that large tent he acquired. As his consciousness delved deeply into it, he was amazed by what he saw inside!

The tent was really spacious, much more than he initially thought. There were many weapons stored inside rows upon rows of closed boxes, plus many potions stored on racks specialized to keep them safe. These items didn't interest Arthur, as what really made him so delighted was the presence of many scrolls inside.

Secrets of forging strong and very unique weapons and armors! These were really a treasure for him, if not for the current situation being risky, he would have taken these out, and started reading them.

There was also something that attracted his attention there, defensive and offensive weapons!

Large crossbows that he never saw alike before! At part of the tent he also saw many large wood and forged ore parts lying together, with a scroll beside them explaining the end result of this item.

"Trabeculae?!" he muttered, with daze, as this was the first time for him to see something like that. he just glanced these parts with haste, as there was enough parts to make ten of these only. he then saw another thing that made his mind got a stir at once.

"Formations! Large army formations!!"

His eyes shone brightly, and this time he couldn't help himself as he took out one of these scrolls, called the dark sword formation.

"A soul based type of formation, interesting," he started reading the formation, as it had two parts, one for explaining everything related to this formation, and the other part was a drawing, determining each group of soldiers' location inside this formation.

This was an illusion offensive and defensive formation, one of the most sophisticated formations Arthur had ever seen! Formations were present and famous in his past life, but they were really rare, extremely rare, to the degree that sects were assessed by the number of formations in their possession.

As for here, he found many formation scrolls inside this tent he found at a desolate part of this world. his mind suddenly got stirred more by the simple idea of the big clans themselves, as they must have much more scrolls in their possession, a treasure his soul craved for greatly.

"Interesting, this world is really interesting."

He smiled, as he started to study this formation. It needed ten thousand soldiers to form, and that gave him a thought. He hurriedly checked the other formations requirements, all needed ten thousand soldiers to perform.

"So, the limit of scrolls here is determined by the number of the soldiers? I have to find a larger army then," he muttered to himself, as he wanted to obtain all the formations in this world for himself.

He was greedy, but for his own good was that greed directed to. After an hour of reading, and studying, he realized how deep and sophisticated this formation was!

In his past life, cultivators tended to use energy stored in their bodies to stir the formation, and that put much pressure over the cultivators and made the lifespan of any formation not longer than one to two hours.

However, this formation principle had nothing to do with the energy inside each warrior. It used the energy of the warriors at first to start a channel, connecting the whole formation with the greater energy spread in the world. the limit of this formation relied only on the intensity and the size of this channel, as if the attacks coming at it was far greater than the energy provided by nature or not.

This concept revolutionized Arthur's vision about formations, and let him have some insights regarding these. He shook his head, with much helplessness, as he didn't have the luxury of time to try out some ideas and turn them into formations.

As for Lily, she noticed his focus on this scroll and decided to take her part in guarding the place. Despite the whole world now shaking under the roars and hooves of these endless monsters, no one of them cared ever about any human right now.

Every single monster was crazy to enter the valley, rapidly killing each other, and then feasting on the flesh of the fallen ones. In the middle of such chaos, the ten thousand soldiers here tried to resist at first, not knowing what was going on with these monsters, but later on they were overwhelmed by numbers, killed by overstepping of these monster hooves, or as collateral damage to the intensive extensive battles erupted here.

The night fell, and once it did, Arthur was interrupted in his thoughts when a bird's wing appeared in front of him.. it came from Amelia, as she stated that the villagers who had joined their camp were now restless, asking to go far from the river at night.
