Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"I called you out today as I will need your help, a big and difficult battle will erupt soon," he said, turning finally to the main point that interested him.

"Fight against humans?" she asked with some anticipation.

"No, mainly against monsters," he replied.

"Sigh, I wanted to fight against humans to test my strength, but against monsters, sigh, they will only run the moment they see me."

"Don't worry about that," Arthur evilly smiled, "I have something that will make them all go crazy," he added, mysteriously hinting towards the heavenly rock he had.

"That ice treasure of yours?" she asked, with eyes shining with greed, "give me some, after you finish this battle. I want to appear here in my human form."

Arthur didn't know how to reply to her shamelessness, so he just totally ignored her as he waited for the arrival of his army.

"Why are you ignoring me? huh? Ain't I that beautiful enough to satisfy you? Don't you want me to be by your side? Huh? Where are you looking away? Huh? I won't stop until you give me the treasure I want!"

Arthur started to have a headache, and to keep his sanity, he started to lay down war resources on each hill peak. There were twenty peaks in total, in addition to the one in the middle. That arrangement made Arthur have some insights regarding making an array of his own, using his runes, avoiding using the dark formations he had in his possession.

He wasn't trusting these dark warriors and mages at all! He was pretty sure they had some hidden trick implanted in these formations, and so they were currently useless to him.

Even the knowledge he acquired from them was risky! He needed first to take the opinion of masters in the academy, like Amanda or Cesile so he could be safe when starting using this art.

And so, amidst the noise this female dragon made, he started to make a huge pile of runes, in an attempt to evade the headache coming from her voice.

However, despite making many runes, implementing them all around the area surrounding these peaks, and on top of these peaks, he didn't manage to avoid the headache caused by her!

"Tell me what name will you go with from now on?" he suddenly asked.

"Do you want me to change my name?" she asked back, and his next silence made her start thinking about this matter, like a child being distracted by a new play!

He finally enjoyed a long period of peace, and he used this to finalize the final touches of his arrays. He laid down many complex arrays, interlinking together to form a layer upon layer of mixed offensive arrays.

He made all of them laid down on the central hill, so he could control all of them at once. Also he laid down a couple of defensive arrays, so he could help his army to retreat in times of distress.

After all, he still was ignorant to the disparity in strength between his current warriors and the incoming monster tide!

"Call me Tina!" she suddenly said, and he turned to look at her as he asked:

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I like this name."

"Fine, I will call you Tina. Now, prepare for the battle, and I want you to choose one peak to be focused on."

"This peak will do," she said as she flapped her wings, rose a couple of meters high then landed again on the ground of the central peak.

"Won't do," he shook his head, "I will be stationed here, controlling the fight. Just select another one then."

She glanced at him, before softly roaring, expressing her upset. She planned to annex the heavenly treasure amidst the chaos, but she got busted by him!

"Fine, I will choose the front peak over there," she pointed her wing towards a far peak, "will I be alone fighting them?" she asked.

Before he could reply, the fronts of his army arrived at this moment to this region. he smiled as he said:

"Reinforcements have arrived, they will work under your command," he pointed towards the incoming warriors. He had already arranged their formations in his head, as each peak would carry around a thousand of them, covering ten peaks only, the outermost peaks.

He planned to form a strong line of defense first, with his arrays helping them to sustain the brutal attack of these monsters, and also helping these warriors to kill more of these monsters.

As for the explosive ores he already stacked in huge amounts at each peak, he left the mission to explain how to use them to Lily.

"Tina, I want you to circle over the frontline peaks, aid in the defense, and help these warriors in distress."

She glanced at him before softly roaring. She then went towards the first peak, and her sight startled everyone coming to here, Lily included.

"She is an ally!" Arthur shouted so he would reassure them. Lily was the most shocked one here, as she knew Arthur didn't have such an ally before! Arthur was growing fast in an unpredictable way, making her feel more secure and pleased, after all he was her clan head and team leader.

Lily then came directly towards him, while glancing briefly to Tina, as she greeted her. Tina replied the greeting with a nod, making Lily realize she understood her words.

She didn't imagine she could speak human tongue too!

"How come you get a mighty dragon in the mere hours I left you alone?!"

He giggled when she said these words, and he didn't reply to her, instead he said:

"I want you to teach these warriors how to use these explosive ores. Also make them prepare fire pits, and if they need more, then come to me in the middle of the fight and get more."

She just glanced at him for a moment, before sighing. "I have already explained and demonstrated everything to them when they were marching to here.. what a regret no one of them had a pet, or else this fight would have been much easier."
