Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 253 - Trouble Looming In The Distance

"Yes, this is such a grand welcoming party worthy of the two of us, hehehe," Tina said the moment she appeared in the world with him. The two dragons appearing here was such a shock that made the world usher under complete silence.

"Let's retreat," he suddenly said, as he knew how hard and difficult such a battle would be. She was about to argue, but he instantly entered the portal while a huge ruckus erupted behind him, with many shouts erupted and most of the repeated one sentence in his ear before disappearing – formation!

"Why did we retreat? We can kill them easily and gain a lot of warriors!" Tina appeared behind him. He sighed, as he knew she must be annoyed by this retreat, but this was the best solution he had right now.

"They have huge numbers, very organized, well trained, and they were all ready for battle. Believe me, if we were facing them dispersed without an order then I wouldn't hesitate to advance, to kill. But they were ready to activate their nasty formations."

He tried to reason with her, but all he got from her was silence, with some mumbling angry words that he couldn't make anything of. He didn't delay this time and activated the sealing array Tina had already planted around the portal, then headed back to the pillar.

"Can I kill them while you destroy the pillar?" she asked as they kicked off to the distant pillar.

"You killed enough, plus wasting any effort here is pointless; this world is mine now. save your breaths for the next worlds, we still have a long list to cover."

"Oh, you reminded me, sure I can wait till I reach the next world and vent all my frustration there." she said in a vicious tone that made Arthur shake his head, helplessly, feeling how poor lucked those in the next world were. "Do you want me to enter the world outside and control it until you come?" she asked, and her question gave him a scare.

"Absolutely not!" his answer was definite and direct. She wasn't wise, she was rash, with the thought of her being outside like the last situation made him quite worried on her. "Never go outside alone without me, NEVER!" he stressed again on his words, as he didn't want her to think this was a simple order, with no big consequences coming from breaking it.

"Hmm," she nodded with a tone that expressed how depressed she was. "Don't be so sad, we will go to the next world and have much fun, I promise."

He then went to the pillar in five hours, and he didn't intervene with the battle, leaving Tina to have her fun here and at the distant warehouse. He had already explained to her what she had to do after killing all of them, and she waited for him at the portal, while he dropped a blood over the pillar.

The venerable being appeared again, however he didn't speak. There was nothing more to say, and he just glanced, watching this young lad doing his best to stand against the dark side, a side his ancestors long belonged to.

As before, Arthur dropped his blood, endured the influx of energy as he went directly towards the portal, where Tina was waiting. "Go!" he shouted as she passed the portal while he cancelled the transformation and started channeling the energy.

"Rumble!"

With the rumble, he took the second step to leave the world, and the next instant the world itself disappeared to be linked to his heavenly garden.

The next moment he appeared at the map, where Tina was standing still, waiting for him. "Done?" she asked, and he just closed his eyes and pictured the map to unlock the fog completely dissipating it.

"This way," he said while jumping over her back. "Sara is this way?" she asked, and he just patted her shoulders to make her move towards the next star, leaving behind a dying star.

As they reached there, the world wasn't that much different than that of the previous two. Arthur and Tina followed behind, moved towards the distant portal.

As they passed the pillar they found Sara had already sealed the portal and was waiting for them in the vicinity of the pillar, circling in the air.

"You sure took your long time to come here," she complained the moment she came near them. "We have a new mission we need to do," Arthur said, while Tina started narrating what happened in the previous world, complaining as well for the bad decision Arthur had made.

However, from the words of her Sara could tell Arthur had done the right action back there. As for Arthur, he kept flying without saying or commenting on the two girls' gossip.

They took around five hours to reach the portal, where there were only monsters and a sealed portal, with no trace of anyone else there. "When you came here, did you find an army?" he asked.

"I found a large number of weak humans, that's all," she replied and that made Arthur smile. The number wasn't the issue, but the total strength. "It seemed I will have another huge population boost this time," he muttered with a loud laugh that echoed like a roar.

He then descended, deactivating the formation, before a large number of the warriors and mages came to face them out of the portal.

"Ignore them, let's see the world outside," he simply said as he went directly towards the portal, totally ignoring those new enemies.

The moment he appeared outside, he found himself inside a large town, surrounded with a small number of towns and villages. They weren't the huge cluster of villages and towns he was looking for, but they must have a decent amount of warriors and villagers to annex.

"Let's divide a…" he was about to finish his words when Tina roared and went at once to the front, killing as many warriors standing in front of her path!

"Just don't over kill them, and target those of the Dorfis clan first," he shouted while sighing. His soft sigh came as a mighty roar, while Sara came to stand by his side, in the middle of the air. "Quite energetic, isn't she?"

"Yes, but she might get herself into trouble if not restricted."

"Don't worry, I will be by her side," Sara then moved, heading directly towards Tina, who was now filling the whole world with her loud roars and mighty icy breaths.

In less than an hour, everything was settled. Tina killed many warriors, including those of Dorfis clan, and that made others so terrified from her, hurriedly announcing their surrender and allegiance to her.

However before she could enjoy this moment of glory, Sara interfered, corrected the mistake of the warriors and villagers, declaring the real lord they should follow.

"Tsk, can't you let me enjoy one moment at least without stepping in? annoying like him, tsk," Tina said while flapping her wings, moving higher, further away from Sara and Arthur, feeling much discontent.

"Despite the two had many differences, she and the scorpion queen share the same bloody nature," he sighed to himself while watching her soar the sky, while circling around the place, looking and wishing for any single resistance here to attack.

"Listen up…" Arthur then started addressing his new people. After proving he could remove the tattoo easily for them, they all moved and hurried to join him through the portal.

Arthur was interested in the main warehouses here, and he was led to them by the leader of this cluster of villages and towns. Arthur didn't remember his name, as this place had no special craftsmanship at all, they were all miners! And this place was built around a special kind of ore, very rare, very precious.

"The origin ore," he mumbled to himself the moment he heard about that ore, and that made him reluctant, very, to leave this place and retreat.

However, when he knew there was a nearby main fort to the Dorfis clan here, he didn't delay and gave the villagers and warriors three hours to wrap things here.

He stood in front of twenty warehouses with their defensive shield shattered by the combined effort of Tina, Sara, and him. when he entered there, he found a familiar warehouse to the ones he had seen before, and this one was filled with ores.

"It's like the one we initially conquered," Tina muttered when she glanced at one side of the long rows here. "Not quite different or special than the other one."

Her comment made Sara and Arthur speechless, as they both knew how important this ore was, each in his own terms.

"Bring your men, carry every single piece of ore from here to the portal, and don't be late, three hours only," Arthur turned around as he gave his instructions to the man leading the place here. he then went to the portal with Tina and Sare, established a defensive formation around the portal, enough for it to sustain the large number of villagers, warriors and ores.

"Are we going to hunt down ores now?" Tina asked, as she felt great pride in her own achievement in this battle. "We will take anything that's useful," Arthur replied, before heading towards the pillar and the two girls went behind him.

The mild tension between Tina and Sara didn't amend itself, as they both flew in silence, giving Arthur a chance to reflect over his current situation.

This mine was located near a local fortress belonging to the Dorfis clan.. That meant they would definitely be alarmed by what happened here in a short time, alarming the head clan, making the future confrontations hard and challenging.
