Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur planned to do a simple thing here. Instead of aimlessly running around with all his forces, he would instead target those academies and clans.

After defeating them, it would be normal for most of the settlements lined inside to succumb to him. Only few would resist and those would be swiftly tumbled upon with his mighty armies.

However doing so meant he had to test these clans and academies first. So he turned his gaze towards the two in front of him and asked the next most important question.

"What's the toughest clan and academy in this area?"

His question was simply crazy in the eyes of Fox and Lara. The two didn't imagine their new leader to be this mad and go directly for the strongest enemies in the region.

It was expected though to think like that. After all they lived their entire lives under the slavery rule of these mighty forces. A slave would dream all the time about freedom, but he would never think about facing his masters head on.

"C'mon, I'm just asking about their locations," Arthur couldn't help but laugh at their reaction.

"Well…" Lara hesitated before adding, "this is the mightiest clan in the area," she pointed towards a dot not too far from here.

"It's called the white falcon clan, and they excel at transforming into flying beasts," Fox said before adding in warning, "without proper flying legions, no one can lay a single hand on them."

Arthur nodded as he didn't care about his warning at all. "What else?" he simply asked and the two in front of him couldn't help but sigh.

"This academy is the strongest," Fox pointed to another dot that was slightly off to the east, "they only select the prodigies of all settlements and clans around. Their forces are numbered in tens of thousands, but they are all elites."

"I understand," Arthur said without batting an eye, "you will enter my world for now and start working with someone called Nara. She will teach you everything about our way of fighting. Also don't forget to complete the maps as well."

The next moment two portals appeared simply out of thin air. The two hesitated before Lara asked: "Can I come with you?"

Arthur gave her a weird look while Fox added, "you… are an outsider here. So we can help by providing intel and valuable info about the weak spots at these clans and academies."

"Hahaha," Arthur couldn't prevent himself from laughing. His sudden laughs startled the two standing in front of him. "What do you take me for?" he said amidst his laughs before waving his hands, "see you later when I crush everything here. Go in for now and wait for the good news, hahaha."

The two didn't know what to say, so they just, helplessly, followed his orders and passed through the portals.

"They are really amusing," Arthur was feeling amused by what they said, "they think I'm that weak to look for weaknesses… Hahaha, in front of mighty power, nothing else matters, hahaha."

'I'm glad you are in such a good mood,' Gege said in a cheerful tone, 'now should I move you to the academy or the clan?'

Arthur paused for a second before the other two beings provided two contradictory opinions.

'I believe you should start with the clans. This way the academy won't have any support from anyone,' the golden dragon expressed his thoughts.

'Ding! You should aim for the academy first. Killing the clans will make everyone inside the academies your enemy. Their resentment will stand before them submitting to you.'

Arthur didn't express his own thoughts and left a space for the two to argue.

'That's wrong! The academy will ask for all reinforcements and we will have a tough battle!' the golden dragon sharply said.

'Ding! That's not a problem! Arthur has a strong army under his disposal. Plus we must give space for those weak hearts and cowards to run away for their lives.'

'Even if he has a strong army backing Arthur, they also have a strong army backing them! Plus this will take forever to just clear one academy!' the golden dragon retorted.

'Ding! Even if it took a long time to crush, that means the clans around will be vulnerable and weak. Like this we can hit two birds with one stone.'

"Enough," Arthur couldn't help but laugh and stopped them, "who said I'm going alone against this academy?"

His sudden question startled everyone before he further explained himself:

"Gege, spread the word… let everyone gather at the academy. As for me, I'll simply fly over there. I don't need the help of your portals this time."

His words marked out his decision; he decided to go after the academy first. Arthur wasn't afraid of fighting a hard battle or a long one. However, what the system said appealed to his mind and thoughts.

He would prefer to have a single large epic battle than running around like a fool to hunt them down. This way he would gather up his enemies in one basket, making him able to get rid of this entire area's resistance in one go.

"Also… Send envoys under my name," he added after a long period of silence, "send them all to everyone living here. They either submit to me or face destruction."

'But… this…' the golden dragon hesitated, and that made Arthur laugh again.

"What? I'm just blowing the horn and letting everyone know I'm coming for them. This way I can get more troops gathered at that academy. Ah, let that academy know that I'll get to their doorsteps in two days from now."

'…'

'…'

'…'

His words made the three beings in his mind speechless. Even the system couldn't help but feel awkward at this decision.

In wars it would be smart not to alarm your enemy, but Arthur didn't want to do that. He just wanted to get rid of all the resistance in this region in one swift battle, before he would reap the grand benefits afterwards.

Besides, he already had a lot of strong forces under his command. By gathering up all the scattered armies in one place, he believed nothing would stop him.

Even if all the forces here were combined in one large army, they wouldn't stand a chance against those elites coming from higher realms or his own elite forces like dragons.

Not to mention his army of originals. They were few in number indeed, but that wasn't a problem at all. A single one of them was enough to take down any strong defense no matter who supported it.

"I need to train then," Arthur took a deep breath before landing not too far from the academy. He took half a day of flight, but that wasn't enough to let his armies arrive at his location.

"Take me in," he said as he landed. He wanted to train his cultivation base for now. So doing it inside Gege's garden was much better than here.

Gege brought a portal to him before he passed through. The next moment he arrived just next to the Golam's lake. The moment he took a deep breath in, he felt greatly refreshed thanks to the pure energy inside the garden.

"That's awesome! I can train faster now," he was thrilled by this and instantly sat down, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

"I should start caring about my cultivation base from now on," he said to himself before starting to cultivate.
