Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 210 - Meeting A Defensive Shield For The First Time Here

Arthur nodded, as he agreed on his words. Arthur once thought of taking out resources he gained from the great clans, as there were many ores piled there, but he realized this wasn't enough.

Now he was required to lay a huge foundation for his city, and thus he would need much more resources than what he initially had.

"Are you aware of any mountains or ore sources nearby?" Arthur asked, as he didn't meet any mountains or ore sources during his previous journey outside the city.

Deem shook his head, as he replied:

"Unfortunately not, esteemed lord."

Arthur smiled as he said:

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get more ores. Now I want you to start preparing everything, as soon we will need your guidance to lay out our great foundations here. also feel free to redistribute the positions of the buildings, redraw the walls, towers, and gates to be fit to what you feel right."

"I will do my best, esteemed lord."

Arthur then turned towards Ron as he instructed:

"Ron, you will accompany Deem on his journey here. make sure all his requirements are fulfilled."

"Don't worry clan head, I will make him satisfied. This way Mr. Deem."

Arthur's instructions made it clear to Ron how important Deem was to him. so, he decided to change the title which he used to address him with, treating him like a big figure in the clan.

As for Arthur, the next moment he took out one of his bird's wings, wrote a message to Amelia asking her to spread the word. He was looking for any leads for ore sources, either in the ground or in mountains.

Arthur then glanced at Lily, who was sitting in front of him, silent all the time, as he said:

"Let's go, it's time for us to have a second journey."

"Arthur had acquired fourteen towns and villages during the first journey, so there were still six town and villages to annex. They would grant him around one hundred thousand or more of workers, a good addition to the current workers he had.

Lily just nodded, before summoning her Birdy, taking Arthur with here, and they flew towards the direction Arthur pointed to using his map.

Arthur was now feeling much energetic, as his gain of Deem's talent made his mood really good.

And the good news never ceased to come!

After flying for half an hour, a bird's wing came from Amelia, stating the places of dozen sources of ores. Part of them were in the forest, part was in distant places buried under the ground, while a couple were in two mountain ranges lying to the distant east and west.

"Spread out the order, make Madly start making many storage rings now. send out our mages hurriedly to scan these places, determine if they were safe or not. Prepare a huge number of workers to go there and excavate these ores, and make our mages use their rings made by Madly in moving the ores to here. send a word to Ron, and make him tell Deem about it. Tell me if there is anything abnormal or dangerous at any of these sites."

He hurriedly sent this message back to Amelia, while he went towards the most distant village in the region. The drawing of Ouly was quite effective, and he was anticipating the next map he would give to him after coming back from the scouting tour.

They took six hours in flight to reach the last town in the list. The town on the ground was much more advanced than the ones he conquered, and many defensive towers were built here, making Arthur feel this town's citizens were specialized in defensive construction.

More reason for him to conquer the town.

He didn't hurry to summon his two pets, as he made Lily take a tour over the town, announcing his appearance.

There was no single warrior standing in front of the town gate per usual, and the town gate was closed, making him feel doubtful regarding their stance.

Did they want to surrender? Or did they want to fight? He couldn't tell from the outside, so he shouted while touring above the town:

"I'm Willy, the leader of the outsiders. I come here to reclaim your town, do you comply or not?"

The response came swiftly fast, in a way he never saw before since coming to this world. a huge dome appeared, covering the whole town, making him realize they wanted war.

However before he could summon his two pets, a shout came from down below:

"We want to make an offer back to the famous esteemed lord of the outsiders."

Arthur paused, as he felt more confused. did they want to fight and defend their town or did they want to surrender?!!

"Ask what you wish, but don't talk nonsense," Arthur shouted back.

"Our town is already in an eternal bond with one of the strongest powers in this region. we can't simply surrender to you or else we all will perish as a consequence of breaching the bond. 

This isn't a joke, and all the villages and towns beside us here and for a thousand miles reside under this cursed bond since ancient ages. If you can free us, kill the power that had the bond, then the bond will transfer to you and we will all become your slaves."

Arthur heard the words, and didn't know if this man was lying or telling the truth. He was old enough not to accept any words said to him from a stranger!

"We will send out ten thousand warriors, and you can examine the bond yourself to make sure we aren't lying."

The next moment, the gate of the town opened, and a huge number of warriors exited it, passed the barrier and stood in lines, quietly waiting for Arthur to inspect them.

"Does the esteemed lord need an introduction to know how to locate the bond?"
