Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

This sudden realization hit the two of them and made them freeze for a long minute.

"I see," Doaf took a deep breath, "when should we retreat?"

"After we decide which world we will connect to first."

"My world for sure," Amera firmly said after Arthur's words.

"Why? My world had many more fighters than yours!" Doaf wasn't satisfied by her answer and immediately argued with her.

"Indeed you have more fighters, but mine are far deadlier."

"I won't accept that!" Doaf turned to Arthur, "you should know the grandmaster might be in that world right now!"

"Also my grandmaster is!"

"Easy big giants, we will connect to your two worlds eventually," Arthur couldn't stand still anymore as he had to stop this useless debate. "What we need to discuss is how much your basic forces are in each world."

"Basic?" Doaf asked in loss and doubt.

"I believe there is a big war going on in your realms," Arthur frankly said, "and so I want to know whose world would have more fighters stationed there at times of great wars."

"What gave you such a bad idea?" Amera couldn't help but say, "even I can't tell that!"

Arthur didn't speak as he turned silently towards Doaf, and Doaf realized what he was talking about earlier.

"He… might have a point here," Doaf sighed.

"Don't tell me because your grandmaster was lazy and negligent to respond to the earlier message that you two thought there was a big war going on up there!" she shouted and from her words Arthur could tell her world wouldn't have many fighters at the moment.

And that was bad.

"What if I was true?" he went straight to the point, "will there be any stationed forces in your world at such times?"

And her dark face told him that what he feared was true.

"Sigh, then we'll go for Doaf's world then," Arthur turned to Doaf, "but don't tell me there would be no stationed forces there."

"There are plenty," Doaf confidently said, "but most of those grandmaster trust will be absent."

"Anything would help," Arthur decided, "let's start with your world, then we can connect to Amera's world and see there for ourselves."

"What about your slave?" Amera suddenly said while motioning towards the far away werewolf, "he came from a world, isn't he?"

"I… doubt he can order anyone there," Arthur was hesitant, "but no loss in trying."

"Alright, should I call my boys now?" Amera asked in a dejected tone.

"Just wait," Arthur turned to glance over the about to finish Golak, "gimme a minute. When I shout you all retreat away and leave everyone falling into the trap."

"Alright," Doaf laughed, "I can't wait to see my old mates."

"Humph," and Amera just harrumphed in discontent before vanishing off Arthur's sight.

"We will have reinforcements from my world," Doaf suddenly said, "but I doubt they would be enough to crush that army."

Arthur was prepared for such a result. After all he was sure if there was any big war up there then all the big forces would summon all of their men to join.

"At least better than the handful of hundreds we got here," Arthur couldn't help but sigh, "I hope we buy ourselves some time until my godfather arrives with the big army."

"I will pray for that," Doaf then vanished, leaving Arthur behind.

"Where should I put the bait?"

'Ding! Take the map back and I'll mark places for you,' the system said and Arthur had to wait for ten minutes before Golak finished his task.

"Thanks for the trouble," he said, "go now to the front and help others. And this map is mine," Arthur took the map and started to get busy while Golak led his men towards the front.

"These are many places to fill," Arthur glanced at all the spots his system marked.

'Ding! It's a blessing Gege left extras,' the system reassured him, 'Ding! But I doubt they would last long.'

"I hope she will be awakened soon."

'Ding! If not at least the number of monsters trapped here will be sufficient for the start of the array,' the system said, 'Ding! But we'll need more if we need to keep the portal running.'

"What about that world's will?"

'Ding! Not a trace of her so far,' the system sighed, 'Ding! I'm trying to reach her all the time, but she totally ignored my attempts and didn't even bother to say no.'

"That's… no good," Arthur couldn't help but feel bad towards it, "I hope she wouldn't act to stop us."

'Ding! Let's start and see.'

Arthur then started a grand flight where he left many ancient monsters bones and flesh. In general, the spots his system marked were all situated over mountain peaks, taking roughly one third of the entire diagram.

"I'm done," after an hour he managed to fill every place needed with enough materials. "Retreat now!" he shouted before adding, "everyone retreat to my place and don't move."

Per his shout, everyone fighting up front disengaged themselves fast and hurriedly retreated towards him. The monsters didn't bother with them, as they all cared about the fat meal waiting for them up ahead.

That made the sudden retreat of his forces successful.

"Even your monsters are jumping over the bait," Amera said while pointing towards many monsters leaving everything behind and racing others to get the meat and bones.

"Let them be," Arthur casually said, "after all I planned initially to make them the fuel of the array."

Arthur waited for a couple more minutes even after everyone retreated and stood in the center of the array. "Doaf, place your blood over here," he suddenly pointed towards one spot where the control of the entire array was.

And Doaf simply placed a drop of blood there and that piece of rock hurriedly absorbed it.

"Step back," Arthur said before hitting the ground with his feet. "Activate!" he shouted and next the entire world changed.
