Chapter 765 - A Debate
At first Doaf and Amera seemed to handle it properly. Yet when more teams started to show up in short intervals, they couldn't control the situation anymore.
"Damn! And here I thought they will be enough to deal with them," Arthur cursed while watching three teams each had hundreds of mages coming hot at him.
"Move now, let's kill them together," he raised his sword without activating it while shouting out loud.
The next instant a large number of the forces moving behind him darted towards their enemies. During their escape, this force remained hidden and away from any fight.
That gave them the advantage to rest and even heal their wounds.
The moment they moved, their enemies seemed small. Arthur didn't activate his sword technique as he had absolute confidence in their ability to kill their enemies till the last one.
He also refrained from joining the fight, aiming to preserve his energy as long as he could.
Yet with each tens of miles they crossed, and with the passage of more hours, the frequency of the enemy attacks kept increasing until they couldn't move an inch without fighting brutally with lycans.
'The rear looks quiet now,' Gege suddenly said while Arthur was trying to find a way out.
"Really?" this just came in time, "send half of them towards here," he said before pausing for a moment, "what about the hidden lycans around the rear?"
'There are none,' Gege said with a chuckle, 'it seems all the enemies moved to face the front.'
"Oh," Arthur's eyes shone brightly while realizing what he missed. "Inform Doaf and Amera, plus everyone else... we will push together through this blockade as one group before we return to the old formation."
'Won't you kill them?' the golden dragon asked in doubt, 'the deeper you go the more enemies you'll face.'
"Wrong," Arthur calmly said while watching the rear forces accelerate to catch up, "the more we got entangled here the more enemies flanked us and faced us at the front. We can't keep doing this, or else we won't be able to move."
His eyes narrowed before adding, "we have this slight window now to penetrate their blockade and keep going. If we missed that then we won't be able to do so without paying a hefty price. And something is telling me this won't be the last encounter of this kind we'll face here."
Arthur's words silenced the golden dragon while Gege continued to relay his orders.
"On me!" as the forces gathered around him, he didn't hesitate any longer and activated his technique.
Then he ran towards the front, leading a mighty charge of tens of thousands of forces on his side and much more were still pouring from the rear.
Such a charge was destined to crush the enemy lines without many losses. As Arthur expected, they didn't need more than a small push and they penetrated the blockade.
Then Doaf and Amera took the lead to organize the troops while he kept running forward.
As for the rear forces, they returned to their original task and started defending against the relentless attacks of the desperate and quite enraged lycans.
"They look angry," Doaf and Amera finally joined him while he greeted them with these words.
"They wanted to stop us," Amera said, "so that made them so frustrated."
"And that proves your point as well," Doaf said to Arthur while eyeing Amera who simply took a deep breath and didn't speak.
"Let's keep moving then," Arthur said, "I doubt this would be the last of them."
As he feared, in less than two hours the same situation was repeated again. As before Arthur let Doaf and Amera handle the vanguard of the lycans before leading the rear troops and passing through the lycan lines.
During all this he was faced with a more than deadly situation. Yet he was lucky to handle these with his speed or using the help of his werewolf and some of the surrounding mages.
But with more attacks coming at them and more deadly situations he faced, he became quite sure that his identity was now known to all his enemies.
And that meant he would become the focus of all of their attacks in the future, just like what Amera and Doaf were before.
And just seeing that dark spot in the future made him angry. He didn't want to wait until this would happen, but as he thought about it he had no other choice but to embrace such fate.
'You can always run and hide inside my world,' Gege said in an attempt to reassure him.
'Not an option,' he shook his head before adding, 'If I vanished, I would only make the situation worse.'
'They won't find you,' Gege mistook his words for something else.
'Silly girl,' yet the golden dragon got what he meant, 'he is afraid to be delayed and separated from his allies. If he vanished, he won't be able to return back to this world for hours.'
'What?!' Gege seemed not able to grasp their meaning.
'Ding! The portal world is fixed to a certain point while the two armies will continue to clash and move fast,' the system had to step in and slowly explain, 'Ding! So getting in the garden world is a big no for him.'
Arthur ignored their talk while watching the area around. The situation was never this risky before to him, and yet he was strangely feeling at ease.
He was anxious at first, but the more he thought about it the better he felt.
"That's weird," he finally couldn't handle being so calm in the middle of all this chaos.
"What?" Amera just returned to his side to rest and recuperate. They just passed through another blockade, and that was the only window she and Doaf had to rest from all these fights.
"I believe... we are getting closer to our target," he slowly said and his words were sudden to her.
