Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 190 - A Mysterious Thing About The Rivers And Lakes

As his words fell, everyone here felt the change in Arthur's vibe. They all exchanged glances, knowing that this outsider wouldn't keep off his hands now, not when he had a threatening army coming towards him.

"Choose your words wisely, as they might be your last," Arthur ruthlessly said, as he took out his own sword, waved it towards all of them. they didn't know what to do, but their leader, or supposedly their leader, decided for them.

"We wo…"

The man didn't have time to continue his words, as Arthur already had seen this decision coming. This man wasn't planning to surrender, and he didn't care much about the lives in this village.

So, when he just opened his mouth, Arthur disappeared from the back of the queen, reappeared instantly beside this man, where he inserted his sword in his heart.

The next moment, this man screamed, like a little girl, before falling on the ground, dying and the monster he rode on vanished from the sight of everyone.

The next moment, Arthur reappeared again over the back of his queen, as he glanced again at the soldiers, while asking:

"Are you with me, or against me?"

The soldiers didn't need to think, as they all laid down their weapons, knelt on the ground, announcing their allegiance to him.

Arthur didn't feel excited about this, as the next thing he did was to give the scorpion her most crucial, first full out order.

"Go to these mountains, and do as much as you want, with no reservations at all!"

The queen just glanced silently at him, with some surprise and doubt, before she realized he wasn't joking. She then darted, with extreme happiness, towards the mountains, dreaming of the happy feast and enjoyable plays she would have there.

"Who is in charge here?" Arthur wrote a message to Randy, Amelia, and Clovert, telling them to fall back at once, hastily fortifying their place around the river branch, waiting for his return, and alarming them about the incoming huge army. He then turned his attention to the soldiers here, asking for their leader.

"It was him," one of the soldiers kneeling on the ground replied.

"It seems to me he wasn't a good leader."

"It's true, as he was appointed to us by the alliance in the north."

"Alliance in the north? What is that?!"

Arthur was surprised to hear there was such a name here. an Alliance was a word not used in his cultivation world, or heard about it in the current world. so, he felt some curiosity regarding this. "And what is about that incoming army?" he added, as he was more interested now by this incoming threat.

"It's a huge army by the alliance of clans in our world. our world is divided into five regions, we are in the north region, much close to the border with the central region, and the east region. however that army isn't approaching her now, as the last news we heard said it was at the western borders, dealing with some outsiders there."

One of the soldiers kept replying to him, and his reply gave Arthur a general view over the current state of this world. it wasn't an empty primitive world without any organization as he thought, instead it was a world brimming with lively civilizations already.

"So, these mountains had no one?" he asked, as he thought he sent the queen to an empty place, which would make her rather unhappy.

"There is a military post already there, with around ten thousand warriors of the alliance," the soldier replied, and when Arthur raised his eyebrow, he hurriedly added, "this number is nothing in our world, as the main army of the alliances exceeds millions."

Arthur just sucked a cold air of breath, this wasn't a simple mission at all. He glanced at the soldier who helped him, as he said:

"What's your name?"

"Beurin."

"From this day on, you will be the leader of the people coming from this village," Arthur said, before pointing to the village as he added, "stand up now, all of you, and follow the lead of Beurin. Go inside, bring everyone out, and let's leave this place and migrate to the river."

"The river?" everyone exchanged silent glances full of terror that made Arthur ask:

"What's wrong with the river?"

"It's not safe there, master," Beurin said, as he hurriedly added, "there is another side of this world, an aquatic one, and all waters in our world are gates to this world. no one dares to live there, as these monsters would appear at night, attacking and killing without restraints!"

The words of Beunin made Arthur be in daze, how could he give up his river, simply like that? "Don't worry, I'm here, and I promise you nothing would occur to you as long as you follow me."

Arthur couldn't simply build a city away from a river, or else how could this city be supplied with water? Using the river for trade and fishing?

"But master…" Beunin was about to argue, but Arthur simply gave him a silent glance that scared him.

He forgot he wasn't speaking to a man from his world, but from another!

"May you tell me more about these aquatic monsters?" Arthur asked, as he wanted to assess the dangers of this river.

"They either have large numbers of small fish like monsters that could live outside water for some time, or small numbers of huge monsters that could devastate a whole village in no time."

The answer Beunin gave made Arthur be interested in the huge monsters he spoke of. "Tell me, all the rivers had these monsters?" Arthur asked, as it wasn't logical for all the rivers to be cursed in this world.

"Not all of them, master, as all the clans in the five alliances enjoy safe rivers and nothing occurred to the people living there.. anyone would die to get a chance to live there, safely away from the madness of these aquatic monsters."
