Chapter 986 - Looking For The Enemy's Weakness
Arthur wasn't the only one knowing how important this black curtain was to mechas. Nara was feeling so impatient to turn all her trusted and capable aiders into strong and evolved mechas.
But for Arthur, this symbolled another thing. It was the birth of a new weapon for his empire, one that could kill any enemy standing in their faces so far.
Even if that enemy was a gigantic flying island coming at them from many directions.
"How is the process of making new curtains going?" As he waited, Arthur asked Gege to get the latest news on turning the purple ore into black curtain.
'I'm using the entire explosive purple ores for now,' Gege said before adding, 'but I have to say, these ores are really something else!'
Her comment piqued Arthur's interest. "What do you mean?"
'It's not like the normal purple ore you took from the ground,' Gege said before further explaining, 'these ores are very aggressive and seem like they have a will of their own.'
"A will of their own…" Arthur muttered while a form of theory began to take shape inside his mind. "What about the flowers? Did anyone find any flowers anywhere?" he suddenly asked.
'Not yet,' Gege said, 'they are working diligently but the purple ore veins are really massive. I assume they need at least a week or so to find any flower.'
"Hmm…" Arthur stayed silent while his mind was seeing a big picture filled with holes. He knew a lot, but lacked a lot in return.
He couldn't make a guess about anything for now. So all he could do was to wait and hope for more pieces of the puzzle to fall into his lap.
'Should we continue using this purple ore?' Gege asked again just to make sure Arthur got her meaning.
"Sure," Arthur simply said, "use all of them. Don't leave anything behind."
'Ok,' Gege didn't speak again until Nara appeared.
She came with a large group of a few hundred mechas. For instance Arthur wanted to ask her about their identity. He asked for the capable and most trusted ones, not all the elites.
But then he realized he was in the wrong here. The mecha army was getting larger with each passing day. New mechas were made to replace the lost ones in battles.
Even Nara was responsible for training any new batch of mages here. That meant she could always select the best to suit the needs of her army.
So bringing a few hundred back wasn't a big deal. Her mecha army was numbering in tens of thousands now, if not even bigger than that.
"We greet our lord," Nara led all of them to bow and show their deepest respect to Arthur.
If they looked at him in the light of being their lord and savior, now they had to see him in a different way. He was going to transform their lives forever just like what he did with their leader, Nara.
"Get in line then," Arthur didn't have such a large number of black curtains to satisfy their needs. But soon enough he would have more than enough.
So he waited for them to stand in one line before he made them advance one by one to use a piece of black curtain. His stock wasn't even close to a hundred pieces for now.
But midway, he got the good news from Gege.
'The curtains are ready.'
"Bring them out," Arthur said before a pile of black curtains appeared from one portal. They kept stacking over each other until they formed a big hill next to Arthur.
This scene startled everyone here before they looked at Arthur in a scary way.
"Nara," Arthur pointed to the shocked girl to come. "See? They can be cut into pieces using any sharp tool," Arthur showed her how to cut the curtains into smaller pieces.
"What… shall I do with them?" Nara looked around the big hill of curtains, "of all of them?"
"Hahaha, just use them over your mechas," Arthur said before starting to walk towards a portal, "use them over your entire mecha army. And be ready, we are going to have a very big war soon."
Arthur left the world before Nara would be awakened from her daze. Despite that she knelt on the ground and stayed there all silent and respectful for an entire minute.
"Keep an eye over things inside," Arthur said to Gege the moment he came out, "I'll start heading towards the first island to hit."
'But the mecha army isn't ready,' the golden dragon stopped him.
"I know," Arthur just said without explaining more.
'Ding! Where is your target?' the system felt something was related to the destination of Arthur.
"It's the farthest island from here," Arthur said before adding, "the one that links the entire assault with the leadership."
'And how are we going to know that?' Gege was surprised when she heard what he planned to do.
"It's easy," Arthur simply shrugged, "look for an island that's surrounded by a group of islands in near proximity. These islands aren't moving, or moving extremely slowly. Plus they are located on the farthest point from the empire."
His words seemed like a puzzle, but soon Gege returned with good news.
'I found it!'
"I knew it!" Arthur laughed. He knew something was wrong here. How could that dark angel grandmaster be able to send and coordinate such a wide scale attack without having eyes on this part of the world?
Arthur just destroyed its communication and control base. So there must be another way like an island doing the same tasks as the one he destroyed before.
And the start of this war must be by destroying this communication and control base at first. Making his enemy blind and paralyzed was the most effective attack he could start with.
"Let's go then," Arthur then started to fly faster while setting his gaze upon his target.
