Chapter 670 - A Change In Plans
The words of the system left a deep bang inside Arthur's mind. "I have to go and save them," he muttered before glancing around, "but how can I do that?"
'Ding! She said you've only five days at max to go there then the punitive army will invade the sect.'
"I can't let that happen," Arthur said in determination, "and five days are a lot of time to me."
'What do you plan to do?' Gege asked, 'use my own place to boost your army strength?'
"Indeed," Arthur said, "but first we need materials, all the amount we can get."
'Ding! So you'll accept this?'
"I'm," Arthur said, "tell her I need all the high leveled resources near this city to excavate."
'But extracting these mines would take a very long time,' Gege was worried about that. 'My own resources can sustain the manufacture of that mechas for a couple of days at most, that is if we were talking about going full out and using all the hands we got.'
"We need to," Arthur muttered, "we have to, plus we have here."
'What do you mean?' Gege asked in doubt.
"System, you go first and deliver my message to her," Arthur said before taking out a bird's wing and writing something to Doaf and the two others.
In less than a couple of minutes they appeared in front of him with his werewolf.
"What do you need to talk about?" Amera said as she already guessed there was some big event or else he wouldn't hurry to summon them.
"We have a big war," he said, "much bigger and far more important than the one here."
"And?" Doaf calmly asked without being too excited.
"I'll vanish and go on many places but I'll leave many portals behind," Arthur explained his plan, "I want you to ready up your men, when it's time I'll let you know and all you have to do is move the armies in the portals."
"What about here?" the crow asked in doubt.
"That's why I'm telling you this in advance," Arthur smiled, "Deem will turn this place into a mighty stronghold but we need more mages, so search far and wide for more reinforcements."
"And our enemies here?" Amera asked.
"If you can then go and kill a bunch of clans in the meantime," Arthur said with no care at all as if he was speaking about a walk in the park.
And the three of them understood his meaning.
"We are talking about a surgical strike here, right?" Amera asked just to make sure she understood it right.
"You can use the mechas here," Arthur said as he read up her doubts, "I'll leave my instructions now for Nara to be ready to aid you at any notice."
"That's better," Doaf smiled, "these machines are really something."
"Be sure to be here in less than one week from now," Arthur warned, "don't delay or else the loss will outweigh our gains here."
"Don't worry," Amera said, "we all love great fights."
The three vanished and he went to look for Nara. She was standing on top of one of the towers where she was distributing the duties of her men.
"My lord," she saluted in respect the moment he drew near her from the sky.
"Relax," he muttered, "be ready to move to help the supreme leaders if they asked you to."
"What about here?"
"Don't worry about that," he said, "also be ready for a gigantic war in less than one week from now."
"We are always ready for a good fight," she said and Arthur nodded in content before taking a bird's wing and wrote to Deem to meet him at the main gate of this under renovation city.
"My lord, you summoned me?" Deem said when he arrived at the main gate alone.
"I need you to build a group of forts around here," Arthur pointed to five points before adding, "at least they will form a five star diagram with the city in the center."
Deem nodded, "I understand but this would take longer than expected."
"Use all the labor here," Arthur changed the plans from before, "I'll leave half the population for you to use."
"It will greatly help," Deem nodded.
"Also be ready to be redeployed at another location soon," Arthur gave him a hint beforehand.
"When is it soon?" Deem asked, "I need to supervise things here most of the time."
"You need to improvise and adapt," Arthur muttered, "after all the number of such places are too much for you to be present at each one and directly supervise the work."
"This…" Deem looked hesitant before sighing, "then I'll take the advice from before and use the broadcast ability of yours."
"It will help you a lot," Arthur said before patting his shoulder, "you know how important it is to have a strong base behind in each place we conquer, right?"
"Don't worry my lord, I already am aware of the importance of this task."
"Good," Arthur smiled before pausing as the system just returned with the good news.
"I'll need you to send some to these places," Arthur took out a piece of paper and started to draw a map guided by the assistant of the system. "These locations contain great mines, we need to excavate them."
"This might need the help of Agnus' machines," Deem said, "that's to fasten things here."
Arthur recalled the marvelous creations of Agnus and smiled. "I'll make him come and help with his crazy machines then," he said before flying towards the sky as he was heading towards the next location to conquer.
"Make sure she sends me to a safe place," Arthur said, "and the more mages there the better."
'Ding! She already proposed to help you with a similar opinion,' the system said before adding, 'Ding! You just need to fall and she will direct you to more places.'
"Good, Gege, we have a change in plans."
