Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"This map… it's simply epic!"

Arthur glanced at the map he received from the tree while standing inside the tree space. "Thanks for the trouble," he said while rolling the map carefully and stuffing it inside his ring.

"You're welcome," she said, "I'll keep track of you. Gege is sleeping right now but I can contact you vaguely. I hope he can understand my words if something bad happens."

"Thanks for that," Arthur said before asking, "how is the broadcasting going?"

"Fantastic," she answered, "at least many people are answering the call and after that battle things became quite easier to gain more support. The issue is the path from their places to here is quite harsh and risky."

"I know," Arthur nodded, "that's why I'm taking my empire to them."

"Good luck."

He exited the tree space and then started to fly around.

"Have you gotten an answer yet?"

'Ding! Still waiting.'

"I hope she can help," Arthur sighed.

'Ding! By the way, many are now crowded around the portals here.'

"Have they arrived here yet?"

'Ding! Awaiting your permission.'

"Let them come to an empty place," Arthur said, "Wait!" he stopped his system before adding, "don't let them gather in one spot."

'Ding! I got it.'

Arthur kept flying until he felt a sudden traction and the next moment he appeared on top of a large crowd.

"This is… simply great," he smiled in content when he saw the large number of workers gathered here.

'Ding! Y'know you can move and they will keep coming through the portals, right?'

"I know, but I lack the support of the world's will."

'Ding! I'll go and ask again.'

"I hope you succeed."

"Lord," Deem suddenly came from far, "I brought all who can help."

"Good job," Arthur landed before him, "make them start preparing the tools and anything they can make beforehand here."

"I might need the help of Agnus for that," Deem said the thing he wanted to ask about, "but I couldn't find him anywhere despite entering here with me."

"He is nearby," Arthur only said this, "I'll pass the message for him. Also you can use bird's wings as well."

"Sure, I'll send him one right away."

Arthur nodded and then soared again in the air before his system got back.

'Ding! She said she will try her best but she won't guarantee to land you precisely over the places you selected.'

"Why is that?"

'Ding! She said something about her energy depletion and her focus over something going on or something she was preparing,' the system paused before adding, 'Ding! I frankly dunno the answer as I couldn't understand her words clearly.'

"Sigh, at least she'll help," Arthur glanced at the direction of his tree before adding, "She will contact you if anything major happened."

'Ding! I'm keeping an eye here over everyone,' the system said, 'Ding! So don't worry about that.'

"Good, take me out."

Arthur appeared the next moment inside his lake city. He didn't wait for a single moment there and started to fly fast to the clouds.

"I should fall, and she should direct my fall then," he said, "make her direct me towards a place of our allies… I'll start with them first."

'Ding! I already told her that.'

"Good… let's start then."

He reached the level of the clouds already and now all he needed was to fall. The fall was certainly harsh and despite gaining all this strength he landed heavily, creating a deep crater and feeling immense pain all over his body.

"Damn it!" he cursed while standing up from the deep pit. "Where am I now?" he asked.

'Ding! Let me check with the tree,' the system vanished for a couple of minutes during which Arthur started consuming his upgraded version of his potions and ate the advanced meat he made during the past month.

If anything he did during that time aside from sending armies and interrogating Anna was to make potions and cook meat.

'Ding! You landed ten miles to the east from an allies settlement on that map.'

"Good," Arthur swallowed what was chewing, "let's go then. Alarm Deem and make him ready with others."

He soared to the sky and moved fast. The distance of ten miles was crossed in less than five minutes and when he got near that place, he was totally astonished.

"That's… a gigantic cluster of towns and villages!"

In front of him lay a small hill with a stretched place of land all around. The place was totally covered in buildings, and if not for those weak walls everywhere separating every town and village he might mistake it for a city like his own.

'Ding! At least you can use their help to accelerate the build,' the system said.

"I hope they can do it," Arthur muttered, "Tell the tree to deliver a message to people here and in areas around. Only for our allies, stress strongly over this."

'Ding! One sec,' the system took a minute while Arthur's sudden appearance in the air attracted many eyes and all of sudden the distress bells started to ring everywhere.

"They are acting fast," he said while glancing all over the ground where a large number of mages started to gather. "And they have their own army… interesting."

'Ding! She will spread the word now,' the system suddenly said and Arthur only smiled and waited.

'Ding! She says she delivered the message already.'

"I can tell," Arthur didn't need his system words as he already noticed the ruckus happening down below where many normal villagers started to come out and all glanced and marveled at him.

"It's time to descend," he grinned, "they are waiting for a long time already."

He flew calmly another round before clenching his wings and letting his body descend fast to the ground.

"Hi," he said the moment he landed with his giant body, "I'm Willy, the one who asked for your help. It's nice to meet y'all."

"Lord Willy… is that really you?" A robust man moved from the frontlines. He seemed like the general of this army and from the deep mark over his face Arthur realized he wasn't a push over or a newbie in wars.

"Indeed it's me, didn't you get my message just now?" Arthur calmly answered.

"We did," the man said, "but… we know you are far, far away from here, right?"

"This is something that has nothing to do with you," Arthur said before adding, "and I'm here not to move you on to my cities."

The man glanced in doubt at him. "What's your name?" Arthur asked.

"Goffrey," the man answered.

"Listen Goffrey, I have little time to spend here unfortunately but I'll try to make things clear to you and everyone. I'll build a group of my cities and forts here for you to settle in."

"A group of cities and forts?!!" Goffrey seemed shocked before the next moment he watched a large number of workers appearing out of nowhere with many strange tools and ready blocks to be amassed together.

"You'll work with them to turn this place into a mighty stronghold, safe for you and everyone else. Do you understand?" Arthur calmly asked and Goffrey nodded like being enchanted.

"Great," Arthur turned to spot Deem coming towards him. "Lord," Deem greeted formally before adding, "we are ready to start."

"Good," Arthur turned to Goffrey, "this is Goffrey and he will help in gathering up more workers to aid you in your work here."

"That's a relief then," Deem said before nodding to Goffrey, "let's start with letting everyone know about our business here."

"Fine by me."

"I'll leave now," Arthur said before heading towards a nearby building and touching it.. "This will be the main portal," he said to Deem who nodded and waved from afar while watching his valliant lord fly high towards the clouds before totally vanishing from his sight.
