Chapter 221 - Two Dragons Are Better Than One
The moment the carcass appeared, the whole world shook with mighty and endless roars. Arthur turned and glanced at the world around him; these roars didn\'t come from two directions, instead five!
"Oho, this is interesting," he muttered, as he never thought there were more hidden traps lying here by this clan. "It seems they already are putting great emphasis on this ore mine," he thought as all these preparations were made to secure this place from any possible invasion.
"Good for me I used this trick of mine to lure them out," he muttered as he started to spot a huge number of monsters gulping towards here from five invisible places.
He didn\'t just glance at the monsters, but also at the places where these came from. "It\'s a centered square formation, a very nasty offensive dark formation I read about in the records I have," he muttered again, while thinking deeply about this.
His enemies weren\'t just these dump monsters, but warriors hidden deeply inside these places. If he didn\'t find a way to drive them out, he would have to fight the formation head on.
This formation was included in the huge pile of formations he had, a very nasty array called the centered square formation, where ten thousand warriors would be distributed on five main points. Four would make the corners of a square, and one would be the centre.
This formation was an illusion formation, weakening formation, their warriors\' boost formation, plus pretty strong offensive formation.
It was a very complex formation, a nasty one to deal with especially when facing equal numbers and a strong army.
Arthur then shook his head, as he didn\'t have anything in hand currently to drive them out. So, he only had to focus on the current monster tide, act to raise the overall strength of his warriors, and finally he would think of a way to make these warriors hidden inside these five spots to show their faces.
As for the current monsters, they were crazed enough by his heavenly treasure, gulping with their mightiest speed from everywhere, wanting to be the first to reach the treasure and consume it.
This was some irresistible desire planted deeply in their souls! Arthur then waited in his location, while Tina was flying in the air, with Lily flying on back of her Birdy with ten big crossbows stationed there, and many warriors already operating them.
In ten minutes, the first wave of monsters appeared at the location of this hill cluster, and the first thing they faced was the five layered trench.
"Fire!"
Arthur\'s order came so sudden, and his personal army of warriors instantly complied.
Arthur didn\'t try these crossbows before, but when his warriors started using them, he was astonished by the range of their offense; it was nearly double what he had in mind from his past life!
"I can make my peak operate as well, the range is great," he muttered, but he didn\'t hurry to use his peak\'s crossbows, not yet.
The first wave of huge arrows descended over the monsters, and the next second, a huge series of explosions erupted, killing many, injuring much more, plus the amazing shock effect that pushed literally half of the monsters standing to the ground, tens of meters away.
The next moment, huge large tongues of fire ascended to the sky, forming an intimidating wall of fire that lasted for a minute. Despite that, no monster stopped its march, and many went directly to hit this fire wall head on!
Arthur just smiled, while his warriors were all shocked by this scene.
"Fire at will!" he gave the free attack order, as this attack helped in killing and wounding a large number of monsters, however much more kept coming from behind!
He didn\'t know how many were there hidden in these forests, but he was ready to face millions of these monsters right here and kill them all!
The ten peaks around him started to crazily fight the monsters with their crossbows and explosive arrows, while the front ten peaks didn\'t even engage in fight yet.
Most of the monsters arrived here were already stopped by the trench circles, killed or wounded by the explosions caused by the arrows. Any missed ones were instantly killed by Lily\'s warriors, leaving the rest doing nothing but only watch and marvel.
This fight was on a whole other scale than what they got to see in their world so far! The number of their enemies, the defensive and offensive tactics used here, and above all this sense of being mighty and invincible that started to seep slowly into their souls was pretty refreshing and amazing!
They never felt like that ever before! All of them were just slaves for the Dorfis clan, never had this moment of triumph and glory ever in their entire lives!
Arthur didn\'t know his warriors here were all going through a ground shaking transformation deep down their core souls! He just watched the good ongoing fight, wondering when these monsters would be able to move past these defenses and reach the first peaks.
There, he left them with explosive ores only, and he was sure this line wouldn\'t hold much long if faced directly with this huge number of maddened monsters simultaneously.
So, he had to make them stronger!
After an hour of this brutal fight, he started to act! In the past, he didn\'t have his current card of transforming into a dragon without any side effects, so he had to go in his human form and overuse his leg technique.
However, right now he didn\'t have to go for such lengths, as he started channeling his energy while giving the order to his warriors on this peak:
"Keep making arrows, don\'t stop until I tell you to."
The next moment his body started to swell in front of their eyes, to end up being a huge intimidating dragon. They all saw him when fighting their armies from before, and yet they felt the same great fear when they saw him, especially when being this close!
He didn\'t care about their scare, as he flapped his wings and then went directly into the frontline!
"What are you going to do?" Tina shouted as she came to him from far. Through all this hour, she was bored, having nothing to do up till now.
"I\'m going to collect the wounded and dead monsters scattered here," he said, as his intentions weren\'t something to hide from her.
"Interesting," she muttered, before adding, "let me join the fun. Do you have a spare ring?"
"Here, take it," he threw one ring to her, and the next moment it was gone.. Two hands were faster than one, two dragons were better than one.
