Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 842 - The Enemy Tries To Escape

Nicole's question startled the two standing midair in front of her. They suddenly realized that she came here and was thrown in the middle of this ongoing brutal war without knowing a thing about it at all.

All she knew and fought for so far was the fact that these enemies were following the same banner as the ones who tried to destroy her home and kill her love.

"It's something Arthur wanted to protect," Amera said, "he said it has some kind of significance to the entire universe."

"Universe... Weird," Nicole moved her gaze with much interest towards the peaks of the sect, "what would be so special about something in such a lower realm?"

"I think it has something to do with another form of power," Doaf slowly explained, "I know you didn't see Arthur for a long time, but he... is somehow different."

"I can tell that," Nicole didn't move her eyes away from the sect, "after all Aemie sat her eyes upon him. She never did something like that without a good reason. Plus..."

She paused while her mind started to think about another possibility. Would it be possible for Aemie's interest in Arthur to be related to this place?

She didn't know the answer, but she wouldn't be this surprised if this was the case. After all this wasn't only due to the words of Amera and Doaf, but also thanks to the relentless efforts of the enemies here to try and crush that place.

For her it was just a normal town built over mountain peaks. She didn't know what was special about this place yet, but she planned to do so.

However she had first to dig out information of those loyal to Aemie, those who knew all about her big plan.

"Alright," Doaf said, "we will return and lead our forces at the back. As for you... keep what you are doing here but without over exerting yourself."

Amera knew Doaf already dropped the thought of persuading her or knew what she was thinking about. It was all thanks to what Nicole just said, as he realized she was the only one of them left in the dark.

And that made him accept whatever decision she would take.

"If you needed our help, don't hesitate," Amera said in a tone that delivered Nicole the real message. She didn't mean this fight, but the upcoming interrogation.

"I'll keep you informed," Nicole vaguely said, and this didn't miss the keen senses of Doaf.

"What did she mean just now?" Doaf asked the moment he and Amera retreated from Nicole's side.

"It's nothing," Amera acted ignorant, "what was wrong in what she said?"

Doaf gave her a deep glance before turning towards the distant Nicole. "It's nothing," he said while inwardly intending to do something about this.

He felt the two girls were hiding something from him, and he wanted to know what it was.

So the moment he returned to his forces, he didn't hesitate to select a few experts in stealth and hiding before sending them off towards Nicole's army.

He stressed over them not to get too close unless it was necessary. After all, his brief meeting with Nicole told him she wasn't easy to deal with.

Nicole that came with them from the higher realm looked weak, but this one looked like a real general. He didn't know what changed, but he had to take his caution out of her.

Plus he knew Amera well by now. She wouldn't hide something unless it was related to her clan.

"So you two are scheming something for the sake of your clan... I can only think about one thing," he muttered to himself while stealing glances at the nearby Amera and faraway Nicole.

His thoughts made it clear that it was related to the forces Aemie sent. If not that then there was nothing else that would bring these two together.

He didn't mind exposing the truth, but he would mind if he was excluded from this. So he decided to force himself over the two and learn about these secrets one way or another.

The fight kept raging brutaly for three more hours. The enemy was already playing a losing game. It was pretty much obvious who would win this war, but regardless the enemy didn't stop sending everything to the front.

This seemed a bit desperate but Doaf and Amera guessed that the enemy was already cornered. It was either to break through the front or retreat and face their trap.

Which was an obvious trap to be honest.

However after these three hours, things started to get out of control for the leaders of the enemy army.

The surviving few of the mages and monsters looked panicked by the death grinder up front. So they all started to turn around and run towards the rear.

The sides were already pressured by Nicole's forces and there was no way out of this hell except through breaching the rear.

But this place was already declared as a death zone to any trespassers.

The moment they got near Doaf and Amera, the two didn't hesitate in throwing everything at the deserters.

At first they killed as much as they could without showing any mercy. They wanted to engrave fear in the hearts of those remaining alive before Doaf gave the order for some of his forces to shout with the order to surrender.

Surrender and gain your life back, that was the shout everyone repeated non-stop from that moment onward. Most of the enemy mages and monsters were already on the verge of collapse.

With such shouts, they couldn't help but stop moving, drop their weapons and with them they dropped their bodies to the ground motionless.

They surrendered easily like this, however there were still few with the will to fight to death.

"Kill them," Doaf didn't hesitate to show his decisive nature towards them. Most of them were leaders of the army and their guards. "Try to capture any of them and prevent them from killing themselves," after half an hour he gave another order.

The remaining number of those fighting to death was now so thin. They were also scattered across a very broad segment of the battlefield.

For Doaf one single leader of them is worth much more than his weight in gold. Even the entire army surrendering now to him didn't worth anything in return.
