Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

It wasn't a fight, it wasn't a war, it was simply a massacre!

Arthur even didn't need to move and join them at all. His forces were only few in number, but they were a literal definition of monsters.

They weren't stoppable at all! No matter how many mages and monsters were thrown into their paths, they could easily crush them and continue advancing.

Arthur stood in midair while feeling the only drawback for his new forces was the lack of numbers. They would annihilate the enemy forces without doubt, but they might take an entire day or more to do so.

"Sigh, I need to keep advancing my dragomancer ability soon," he couldn't help but sigh before he turned his back, "open a portal, send me to the next settlement."

'Alright,' Gege didn't have a portal linked directly to there but she summoned a line of portals. Arthur jumped from one to another, simply covering a large distance in no time.

'You surely are so much confident in your dragons,' the golden dragon said in a proud tone, 'I can't disagree with you. Dragons… are simply the lords of any world!'

"Hahaha, I know, right?" Arthur was already in a good mood. This way he would put more pressure over his sworn enemy.

He had to admit that the move that dark angel mage did before against the three girls was unexpected and brilliant. However, by this move, Arthur would have answered to that tactic.

And now all he needed to do was to push more and gain more territory and more originals before that jerk would move again.

In front of Arthur's eyes, a large board of Go was there. For now each one had just played their first moves, and this class was simply the beginning of shifting to midgame.

Arthur wasn't lacking any confidence against this seasoned player. He also was a very good Go player when he was a cultivator.

In fact both sides had equal powers and pieces to move. The board was still so big and wide open, while endless possibilities were still present.

Any mistake of anyone here would be easily corrected later on. Any setbacks could be made up for later on.

So even with this advantage Arthur had at the moment, he knew this wasn't a guarantee of his success.

In fact he knew victory was still far, far away from his reach. He needed to keep doing this good and he would eventually win.

But he was sure his opponent wouldn't be this easily crushed.

"I'm looking forward to your next move," Arthur couldn't help but say in a challenging tone. He was already traveling at a very fast speed towards the next settlement.

As for the war he left behind, Gege kept updating him every ten minutes. So far his dragon forces were doing so great.

Another one who was doing great was Amera. After gaining her new powers, she was unstoppable.

Up till now her power was still increasing, making Arthur wonder what she would end up to be after this was all over.

He thought she would stop when reaching the grandmaster level. But she already exceeded the normal grandmaster level by far. She was even on par with his godfather and Aemie, heading towards a whole new level.

"I hope she could reach their levels," he hoped she would be as strong as the white and dark angel mages. But he knew he was wishing for the impossible.

After all this kind of mages was only special due to their clans and special abilities.

So far Amera didn't face a situation needing her to activate her ultimate techniques. Arthur wanted to see if she gained any new techniques or not.

Logically speaking, she would gain more than one. But he didn't put any hopes before seeing it with his own eyes.

As for the other leaders he had, he decided to go for a full upgrade to them. He also planned to use a piece of this magic fabric, just he needed to know if there were any side effects related to it or not.

"We are here," as he was lost in his thoughts, he never stopped passing through the portals. After roughly ten minutes he finally arrived towards the next settlement.

Things there were calm, so much calmer than the chaotic fights behind. Arthur didn't spend much time there as he took roughly an hour to gain more original seeds before he released more miners.

Then he left the settlement while Gege left a few portals behind for the locals to use.

The garden world now was getting occupied by tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of people each hour. Arthur didn't see any problem in having them inside his garden for now.

After all he needed a lot of hands to work on his many projects here. Many were sent back to help build cities all over the world, while some were chosen by Agnus for the mining process.

As for those who could fight, Arthur entrusted them to his mecha leader; Nara. She was the only one here he could depend upon for this job.

Nara kept testing the newcomers and selected those strong and good for the fight to join a hastily built camp inside his garden. Sounds of fighting exploded all over the world.

The garden world was long gone silent after purifying all the mini-worlds Arthur added to the garden from before. Also the pillars were all purified a long time ago.

And so the garden world turned into such a tranquil place, reminding Arthur of his sect from before.

However now the peace was long gone by the shouts of warriors training under Nara. She was a strict kind of leader, not letting anyone rest even for a second.

She knew the big challenges waiting for all of them. Pushing hard on them for now was a better choice than letting them relax and die at the battlegrounds.

As for Arthur, he kept jumping from one settlement to another while the reports of the ongoing wars kept coming.

His forces were scoring all great all over the ongoing wars. However his enemy wasn't that easy to accept such fate.

'There are more reinforcements coming from settlements from outside here,' Gege said before adding, 'they are trying to keep the fights going on without any victor.'

"Hmm… is he trying to wear my forces down or what?" Arthur didn't get what the dark angel mage wanted to do by this move.

'He looks afraid to lose against you in this clash,' the golden dragon seemed to take this so lightly while Arthur didn't.

He knew for the overall situation losing the fight here wasn't that big of a deal. In fact this was already part of Arthur's empire, and one way or another this part would be added to his lands.

So the persistence of the dark angel mage seemed weird. "Unless… he has another goal…" Arthur couldn't help but think about the situation once again.

For him more than sixty percent of the settlements were now cleared from that dark liquid.

And the remaining settlements were all far away from the frontlines. So even if the dark angel mage aimed at killing his way through here, it wouldn't be possible at all.

"What are you aiming at?" Arthur couldn't help but repeat this question over and over again on himself.

'Why do you care?' the golden dragon laughed, 'your entire forces are already fighting and crushing the enemy. The more he sent, the merrier!'

The moment the golden dragon said these, Arthur's eyes got wide open. He got a sudden realization which made his face turn dark.

"So… this was your aim from the beginning then…" Arthur slowly said before sucking in a cold air of breath.

'Ding! what do you think he is after?' the system asked before adding, 'Ding! Gege is keeping track of anything moving around this region. There are no extra forces coming from anywhere towards here.'

'Yeah, all the reinforcements are sent to the ongoing fights all around,' Gege said to confirm the system's words, 'there are no other hidden forces anywhere near here.'

"You… all got fooled by him, just like me," Arthur couldn't help but stop from entering through the next portal. "He doesn't need to send anything from the outside."

His words seemed to not explain anything at all, so he had to add:

"Did you all forget? He can open portals inside the settlements and send in any forces he wants!"

'…'

'…'

'…'

These sudden words of his made the other three startled and couldn't speak for a while.

'So he is trying to regain control over these settlements?' Gege couldn't understand the real target of the dark angel mage here.

But the golden dragon got it.

'He isn't after the settlement, he is after our little Arthur here,' the golden dragon said, 'he just used his pieces to keep Arthur's forces occupied. So when he hit him hard, Arthur would be all trapped.'

And when the golden dragon said it out loud, Gege couldn't help but scream in panic.

As for Arthur, he was only marvelling this brilliant tactic of his enemy.. "Sigh, I thought I was getting you under my blade, but it was totally the opposite," he sighed while trying to see how he could get out of such a deadly trap.
