Chapter 778 - A Shocking Surprise
Chapter 778 - A Shocking Surprise
For Arthur just the thought of going there without any preparations and trying something this advanced and so critical out of the blue was unacceptable.
Yet he didn't hold the final call here, the golden dragon did.
'No matter what you say, I won't give you the technique until you are in the position to use it.'
Arthur clenched his fists for a few moments before suddenly releasing them. The look on his face changed and his determination started to dominate even his soul.
For him this was like a challenge, and he loved challenges.
"Fine, let's start then," he started to run again, "Gege, any news from the lycans?"
Gege seemed hesitant before saying, 'well, there is something I want to tell you about...'
"Is it related to the lycans movement?" Arthur wasn't in the mood to hear anything other than this right now.
'No, but...'
"Then don't," Arthur stopped her, "just tell me how the lycans are doing."
'They... are advancing and soon they'll engage with the other forces,' she said.
"And those around the tower?"
'They... are still moving through the same paths I laid before.'
"'Great," Arthur had a plain face at this moment, "let's kick on their doors then."
He was still far away from the tower place, yet he didn't wait any longer. The next moment he channeled his dragonair energy and instantly turned into a dragon.
"Let's start with a bang!" He was in a very bad mood right now. The way his golden dragon treated him got on his nerves.
He didn't like that! So the next few minutes he flew as fast as he could while getting so close to the tower at a fast pace.
"Here you are," just after five minutes of flying, he crossed the distance he needed half an hour to cross on foot.
In front of him was a large group of mages dressed in a uniform made of black leather with long lines of silver.
They looked very eye-catching. Even he spotted them from far away, even before getting close to them.
"Die for me," he knew it wouldn't be an easy task to take all of them in one full swoop. Yet he had his fire, his sword, and his allies.
"Take part of them out now," he shouted before he landed over the few in the front with his sword.
His single slash sent a couple flying backwards while others only retreated a few steps from his attack.
"It was foolish of you to come here all alone," one of the mages sneered while others laughed. "We can easily smash you into nothing without any effort at all."
"Who said he is alone!" the answer came swiftly from inside the portal that just appeared on his side. The first to come out was someone he never expected at all.
"Amera...?!!!" His shock was beyond measure. He even didn't believe his ears until she stepped outside the portal and stood by his side with her giant figure.
"What are you... doing here?!!" his shock was still overwhelming and he could only ask that silly question.
"Humph, I thought you already knew," she said before raising her spear up in the air, "Don't stand like idiots, come out and kill all of them now!"
The next instant a large number of mages appeared from the portal. They were shouting while raising their weapons in the air.
Then they jumped at their enemies like enraged lions.
"What...!!!" Arthur glanced around while feeling puzzled and lost from all this. He knew these were part of the forces who followed them from the city.
They were all cauldron mages, yet he couldn't believe their presence here at this place at this moment.
'I tried to tell you,' Gege sighed, 'she led a group of her mages and entered the portal. I wanted to inform you twice about this but each time you refused to listen.'
Arthur suddenly realized what happened and for a moment he felt regret to not listen to Gege back then. However when his mind cooled down, he knew even if he knew about that, he wouldn't force her out.
After all, his enemies didn't act as he expected. They left a larger portion of their army behind. So he wouldn't mind getting more help here.
Especially from someone like Amera and her forces.
"Are you going to stand like an idiot out there?" Amera gave him a deep look before she laughed, "c'mon, don't act like you just saw a dead man walking."
"A woman actually," Arthur finally regained her usual domineer, "why did you do it?"
"Well... is it bad to have me on your side?" she winked at him and he could only smile.
"It's not that way, and y'know that," he said before adding, "tell them about the map."
'I already did,' Gege answered, 'she was dead fixed on getting out first to help you. On another note, I bet she was hoping to see that amusing look on your face."
Arthur gave Amera a side glance before inwardly sighing.
"Are you going to freeze there and do nothing?" Amera chuckled as she felt very great about his expression just now, "we will miss all the fun."
"Don't be impulsive," he said but he was a bit too late. The next moment she turned into a ray of light and vanished from his sight. "Damn, she can't even stand there for a second and listen to me," he shook his head before gazing around.
"Take the mecha out," he said, "only one third of their forces."
'But we don't need them for now,' the golden dragon seemed not to agree with what he had in mind.
"I need them," Arthur slowly said, "just spread them here and make them wait in ambush."
'Ambush! For what?' The golden dragon was still missing the point.
"Gege will tell you," Arthur then moved fast to the front, "or I changed my mind... Don't tell him a thing."
'...'
