Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 684 - The Enemy's Plan Is Revealed

He knew leaving them out there without any hope was bad. Besides they were already getting trapped and might not be aware of that.

'I've informed them,' she said, 'and they promise to resist as long as they can.'

"That's a relief," he heaved a long sigh of relief, "also tell the tree to keep giving them directions to aid better in their escape."

'Ding! Any minute is priceless,' the system muttered, 'Ding! And I'll ask the world's will again.'

"Keep bothering her," Arthur said in some anger, "after all I'm much annoyed with her passive attitude."

The system didn't speak or express his opinion. For him the world's will wasn't in the wrong here. After all, she warned him that he would be all alone here in this quest.

As the system predicted, the world's will refused to help and expressed clearly that he had to save his trapped forces and save the sect on his own, or else why would she ask for his help in the first place.

And Arthur only shook his head while flying with his fastest speed.

"How is the situation now?" After half an hour he asked to check on the state of all forces.

'The crow is now fighting his way towards Amera,' Gege said before adding, 'and Amera is also aiding him to break through with the least losses.'

"And Doaf?"

'The tree is guiding him through his escape,' Gege answered, 'he won't be fully trapped except after two to three hours at least.'

"That's great, how about the distance between the two?"

'Another half an hour.'

"Sigh, so long," Arthur couldn't help but helplessly shake his head, "and the main army?"

'It needs at least two hours to catch up with you,' Gege said, 'but they sent some elite teams to try to catch up faster.'

"They are trying to delay me," he muttered, "but they won't make it in time… I hope."

'Ding! Me too,' the system said, 'Ding! But this way you'll have more corpses for your dragomancer ability.'

"It's still a loss in the short term," Arthur muttered, "a big loss indeed… by the way how is that flying army doing now?"

'They are accelerating now,' Gege said in a low tone, 'they might arrive earlier than I guessed.'

"I saw it coming," Arthur said, "and the sick people? Have enough numbers been rescued?"

'They villagers are doing their best,' Gege said, 'almost ten thousand are saved and others are about to be saved soon.'

"Move them to the sect then," Arthur ordered, "and make them activate the defenses and prepare for the fight."

'I'll make them try to buy as much time as possible,' she said, 'after all it's easy for you to return there once the fight here finishes.'

"If we can deal a good blow to the main army then we will easily win this war," Arthur thought out loud, "but if we didn't then we'll have it hard back there."

'Ding! At least they will need hours to reach the sect,' the system said, 'Ding! During this you'll be able to save more.'

"I hope they have some sort of a weapon to kill those bastards," Arthur muttered, "after all I doubt our current forces would be equal to those higher realm fighters."

'The giants were killed,' Gege suddenly killed, 'at least most of them, and that's the reason why they are moving at a slower speed and couldn't catch up to you fast.'

"Good job," Arthur praised as this was the purpose of the entire suicidal move of the three supreme leaders of his, "at least they lost a great weapon early on before the final war erupts."

Arthur kept flying as fast as he could. In less than half an hour he managed to finally spot the army hunting down his two supreme leaders.

"This…" he was speechless at first, "they have a large number… much bigger than I thought!"

'There are roughly ten thousand hunting each army,' Gege said, 'forgot to tell you that.'

"That explains everything then," Arthur could only shake off his head, "alright, make the army inside be ready… it's time for our counter attack."

'By the way those elite groups are drawing faster than I thought.'

Arthur wasn't surprised by that as he simply asked: "How long?"

'Half an hour at most,' Gege said.

"No problem," Arthur glanced at the giant army stretching over the ground and added, "I'll make sure to rescue them in less than that. Bring everyone out, let's start this fight with crushing victory from the start."

The next instant a large number of portals appeared before an army of mechas appeared first in the air before a large number of ground forces started to kick in.

And the sight of this mountainous place was now changed to show entire mountains covered entirely with his mages.

"Attack!" Arthur didn't hesitate to issue the order while taking out his sword and started to activate his technique. "Don't forget to replenish my golden energy," he said and Gege only laughed in excitement.

As the forces up front were all ground forces, his first charge with the mecha army was so overwhelming and his enemies were killed like flies.

"They aren't that strong," Arthur muttered before asking, "where are the elite ones?"

'Do you mean the ones sent by the main army?'

"I mean the ones chasing the three leaders."

'They are… all of them are like these ones,' Gege seemed quite hesitant as she returned to the tree to make sure she answered right.

"This… damn, they are so weak to be handled by my great army!" Arthur was slightly disappointed, "but at least there are a large number of them here."

'Ding! Number is also another facet of power,' the system said such profound saying in the inappropriate time.

"Make the army fan out," Arthur ordered, "let them kill as much as they could before the elites arrive."

He then turned around and shouted at one mecha fighter, "tell half the mechas to come with me and the other half will remain here."

He didn't wait for the mage inside to deliver his words before heading directly straight away from the army down below. "Where are they?" he asked.

'Go to your left for ten minutes and you'll meet them,' Gege said before adding, 'the tree has informed them already of your arrival and is guiding them now to here.'

"Good," Arthur said, "fighting here is just a waste of our time. This army is worthless for our blades and I'm sure it was spread here as a trap to lure me out."

He now realized the main aim of the large army and its leaders. "Make the army ready to retreat the moment I tell you so."

'R- Retreat?!!' Gege was speechless for a moment there.

"Indeed, I won't stay here and wait for the enemy to catch up," Arthur said, "I'll regroup with Amera and the crow before heading directly to save Doaf."

'And the army here?' Gege asked, 'and the elites coming after us? We can handle them easily and hunt them using our number advantage.'

"I doubt things would be this easy," Arthur sighed, "if they aren't that confident in their ability to stop us here they wouldn't have started this plan in the first place."
