Chapter 582 - A Very Intense Fight
Arthur turned around and observed the army stretched in front of his eyes. "This one… this academy…it looks a bit different," he muttered while feeling there was someone with a dirty smart mind in the ranks of his enemies.
"But it's the more I like it," he kept hammering everyone with his arrows non-stop while flying everywhere. The small army of his had already conquered a large area, turning this piece of land into their fort.
"Send the word to Doaf and inform him about the current developments," Arthur said before adding, "tell him not to press forward as he had to strengthen his defenses there. This fight will be won not by offense but defense."
'Ding! But they are standing open in the air,' the system said before adding, 'Ding! If we have some workers to build some defenses it would have been awesome.'
Arthur felt regret about taking out everyone from the garden. "Is there anyone left?" he hopelessly asked.
'There few,' Gege said, 'but they aren't that diverse in anything to be honest. I only selected those capable of helping in building and defending the city.'
"Bring them out," Arthur moved instantly towards the location of his army, "any hand will be useful here."
'What do you want them to do?' Gege asked.
"Hmm… let them build normal walls," he said after giving the matter some thought, "let them bring ores from inside out."
'If so then I'll have to leave some inside to do this,' Gege sighed, 'but don't put much hope on them, mostly are women or elderly and children with little benefit.'
"Any hand will count," Arthur was already fixed on using them. He moved towards the army of his while the army stopped his aggressive move all around, retreated and started to organize its lines. "He is acting fast, impressive indeed," he muttered.
As he reached there, he landed on the ground in the center of his forces before ten thousand elders, women, and children appeared out of nowhere.
"Sorry to bother you with this," Arthur said before pointing towards the distant city, "but everyone you know is already imprisoned inside the city and on the verge of death if we don't hurriedly act."
He tried to give them proper reasons to work harder for him. He knew he could easily order them to do what he wanted, but it would be better if they believed in his cause.
And the next instant the look of doubt, fear, and lack of trust vanished before a determined look appeared on their faces. "Great, now you know what to do and I'll be here to help."
"Lord, you can go back to fight and leave things here for us," a very beautiful young lady said while turning to everyone around where they all nodded.
"You need ore," Arthur said, "and proper protection."
"They can protect us," the lady stressed before adding, "and the ores we have is enough to build walls for hours. Lord can go and fight during this time before coming to give more to us."
Arthur took note of this girl which reminded him of someone he didn't see for such a long time. "Where is Nara?" he asked while returning to the fight where he flew all over the area and started sending his deadly arrows once more.
'Ding! She is inside the city with the forces there,' the system said before adding, 'Ding! She is a good fighter to be honest.'
"Indeed she is," Arthur simply nodded before noticing a group of monsters broke free from the fight with his forces and turned their arms towards him. "They have greedy eyes on me," he sneered, "bring my werewolf here."
The next couple of minutes he kept flying around using his speed advantage to keep the distance constant with this group of monsters. Just as he kept the distance wide, another group rose suddenly from the ground to target him.
"More enemies? Interesting," he didn't delay taking out his pillar and then started to activate it with arrows. Just as he was midway doing that, the werewolf suddenly appeared beside him.
"Master, you words," he respectfully said.
"Go and kill those pathetic enemies," Arthur only motioned towards the two groups hunting him persistently without rest.
"Right away," the werewolf turned to attack the two groups while Arthur paused the activation of the pillar to be only lacking the last arrow. "I should be more careful," he muttered while he took the second pillar out and started activating it.
He also left this array lacking the last arrow to be activated while flying everywhere. Just as he feared, more enemies started to show up from around while the werewolf was still busy far away dealing with the first two groups.
"This won't end," Arthur sighed while watching around five different groups coming hot after him, "I should gather everyone then first before hitting them."
He didn't hurry to activate his two pillars as reactivating them would take more time plus the more enemies they hit the better.
So he kept pushing forward depending on his superb speed to keep the distance wide as long as he could.
However with the passage of time, the number of enemies grew to a number he couldn't evade like this. "It's time then," he hurriedly launched the last arrow to activate George's pillar while keeping the second one for later.
"Rumble!"
The pillar was successfully activated. Taking such a hit from such a close distance wasn't pleasant. "Damn, it's getting fiercer," he stood out from the crater he created in the ground while watching the current devastation caused by his pillar.
"But it did the job," he nodded in content while taking a couple of healing pills and some meat pieces before returning to fly again.
His system retrieved the two pillars before he summoned them again. He started activating George's pillar while more enemies started to regroup again and continued assaulting him.
"They never learn," Arthur sighed while he was already cornered.. "Let this shake some logic in their thick heads," he released the final arrow to activate George's pillar before being sent again to the ground from the shockwave.
