Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 294 - The Clock Is Ticking... Tick Tock... Tick Tock...

As he kept attacking these stars, he didn't find any problem dealing with the resistance there. The Dorfis clan was now focusing entirely over the three connected groups of stars and pillars, totally ignoring the rest.

So this made his task to collect all the sporadic stars easy, taking only half a day to do that!

What was left behind were the connected pillars. He now knew what he should do, despite the high consumption rate of this kind of attack, but it was the fastest way to make him get rid of all their preparations.

Seventeen pillars remained, and a day and half in his time before the portal plan of the Dorfis clan would be set in motion.

"First I should secure one of the big groups, before heading to exterminate the smaller one," he decided to be cautious, while heading towards one of the eight stars and entering it.

The moment he appeared in the pocket world, he was faced by the same scene he faced before. "No change in plans, or no time to do so? Either way this is good news for me," he sneered as he took out his bow and arrows, and started bombing the array around him.

He needed one hour to best the array, more three to wait for it to calm down and all the effects would vanish before he went ahead and snatched the pillar away.

As he waited for three hours for the devastation of the smashed array to cool off, he kept working and not slacking, making so many arrows of extermination as much as he could.

He went into his garden, first checking on the status of the two girls to find the area quiet with long lines of warriors gathered up around the portal, waiting for their turn to join the fight.

He then checked the other fighting grounds, to find that his warriors were now beating their foes thanks to the new gears he gave the orders to make. "Agnus is quite a capable one indeed," he muttered in content, as this wasn't the work of a single man, or a single village.

He was sure many villages took part in this, and he just agreed on such behavior. After all they were all now his subjects, belonging to the same flag.

He even noticed some portals were totally dominated by his warriors. They weren't many, only a few of a five so far, but this was a good sign. He left instruction for them to send many scouts outside, spreading the word of him accepting any refugees with no limit. Also he made them stress on the fact he could free them of their slavery curses.

And as part of the portal started to be freed, it wouldn't take much time for others to be controlled by his warriors as well. So, he also gave them the same instructions, plus he asked for any extra units to move to the newly added pillars, as the portals there would face great war soon.

He knew they alone wouldn't be enough to face the wrath of the Dorfis monsters, but he couldn't send for his girls to help here. "Sigh, I lack really capable fighters," he helplessly shook his head once appearing in the star map, but all he could do was to regularly check on the status of the garden, and give any possible help to those in need to.

So he hopped into the next star, and the next, and the next, until totally clearing the four clusters of them, killing endless numbers of warriors inside, while adding them all to his garden.

"As these four are completely collected, no need to waste resources on these," he said before closing his eyes, entering the world of his again and this time he sealed the portals leading to the outside world, while redistributing the warriors fighting her to other places.

He felt quite stressed out, and his warrior pool started to show signs of drying up. However, as he waited inside the last star barrier, he received some reassuring news at last.

Many refugees started pouring in! whole villages and towns moved with their whole people and resources, joined his garden world.

In the last three hours alone, over two hundred thousand villagers and fifty thousand capable warriors joined his world. his world was starting to take another shape, a shape of a great nation!

He didn't delay and instantly worked on relieving their curses, fulfilling his promise to them. from their mouths, he realized that his fame had already reached far and wide, and now it was enough to just mention his name for whole regions to move out to respond to his call!

"I never imagined this war would take such a turn, and sarcastically it all started with a contest," he smiled when he recalled the root of all this. At first he wasn't sure if the academy would approve for him to keep contact here, but now he could easily link a pocket world to his empire, hiding the entrance to it quite well, so he could always pay a visit here at any time.

"The next stars then," he didn't delay and moved out towards the next stars, snatching them one by one.

He knew his enemies must have recognized his pattern a long time ago, but they took all this trouble to make their plan successful; they couldn't simply ditch it and find another; as it seemed there was no other!

As for the way they defended the world, he realized that at some stars the amount of warriors and mages there started to show an obvious decline, especially for the number of monsters.

"So you are pulling back your forces to minimize your losses, or to prepare for the last stand? Either way this is the best solution you currently have," he muttered when he waited for the broken array to be clear.. He knew they wouldn't think of removing the current defensive arrays, as they were doing the job of delaying him perfectly fine.
