Chapter 904 - Reinforcements
The three behind Arthur were all excited about gaining such force at such timing. It seemed the bronzed killer\'s name was well known even to Amera and the crow.
However Arthur didn\'t care about that. He kept flying in silence while receiving updates over enemy moves.
The enemy got wind of him coming here. Despite there being only four people flying at them, they seemed to be frightened like four grand armies were heading to their base.
As such they started to frantically call out for reinforcements. According to Gege, there were at least ten medium sized armies coming at the base like them at this time.
They weren\'t that close to get there sooner than them, but four would make it there an hour or so before they did.
But Arthur decided to do something else.
"Let\'s go this way," he suddenly pointed towards four directions before adding, "there are four armies coming to their aid from these directions. Each one will be handled by one of us. Make sure not to entangle too much with them. Only aim for their leader and elites before regrouping again."
The three nodded before Doaf asked:
"Is there any grandmaster there?"
"All have one grandmaster as a leader," Arthur said before adding, "they all came from settlements."
"So crushing them means we will have four settlements for us to take for free, right?" The crow seemed excited about this but Arthur\'s next words made him feel more excited.
"There are a total of ten armies marching at the base of the enemy for now," Arthur slowly said before adding, "when you finish killing them, I might send you off to hunt down more armies if they are close to you."
"That\'s... a great plan to me," the crow laughed, "alright, let\'s go now and make sure to kill them fast."
"I\'ll always guide you through the way," Arthur selected one direction and ventured towards it, "make sure to not waste too much time. After all they are just teasers."
They laughed before each selected a direction and flew towards.
"Keep telling them about the direction," Arthur said to Gege, "and keep an eye all around. I believe this won\'t end with just ten armies."
Arthur\'s doubts proved to be right in less than one hour. Just before he was upon the army coming towards the base of the enemy, Gege told him the latest news.
\'Another seven armies appeared from far.\'
"That\'s not a big deal," Arthur could already see the marching army up ahead, "try to devise a plan of motion. I want to grind those armies as long as possible. After all, each one means one more settlement to capture, right?"
He left his three beings in his mind chatting together and drawing a plan for all his forces to follow. As for him, he already could see the grand higher form of dark energy flying over the army up front.
"So there are more than one grandmaster here after all..." he knew such an aura couldn\'t come from only one grandmaster. "Alert the others, each army has at least two grandmasters in it."
\'But each settlement has only one grandmaster, or what?\' Gege seemed surprised to hear that.
\'That means they merged more than one settlement to form this army,\' the golden dragon answered her question while the system added:
\'Ding! We need to draw lines for the directions each army came from. We also need to know how many grandmasters are in each army.\'
"This way we will have much more settlements than I thought," Arthur nodded in content, "the more they send, the more I gained, hehehe."
As he got so near from that army, and he was in his dragonair form, the mages there noticed him at once and seemed to get startled and afraid.
He saw them trying to reform their lines and desperately hoping to activate a defensive array. However Arthur knew he couldn\'t attack the arrays around the settlements before because of the strong defensive preparations there.
But now... they were wide open in the wild, waiting for him to devour all of them in one go.
"Open as many portals as possible, and make my army appear in the middle of their ranks," he said and instantly Gege complied.
He didn\'t have time to waste, and he didn\'t want to fight against any surprises. If he let them activate whatever array they were trying to make, he might face new variables and take longer to crush them.
Why then should he take his forces out next to him instead of letting them land all over the army up front and crush their planning in the heart?
The army of these mages was almost thirty thousand mages. They looked strong and big enough to draw a long battle with him.
However when hundreds of portas appeared and thousands of his forces came to this world, things started to look much easier than before.
The forces he gained weren\'t normal mages from higher realms, they were elites. Their foes were mainly formed of low realms mages, and only few of them were elites from higher realms.
Elites coming from normal dark clans couldn\'t be even compared with those coming from the top bronzed giant clan.
As such the first impact between the two forces made it clear to Arthur that he wouldn\'t take so long to crush this enemy.
Only one obstacle remained.
"Determine the location of those grandmasters at once," Arthur gave the order to Gege while taking out his sword and started to make his technique moves, "relay them to Jud. I will fight one and he will take care of others."
\'Got it!\' Gege instantly started looking for the location of these grandmasters. As for Arthur, he only activated his technique and then started to look for the location of these grandmasters using his special eyes.
It wasn\'t that hard to see them now. As the number of the enemy forces kept declining fast, and with the presence of those bronzed killer elites, the grandmasters started to join the fight.
He could easily notice three towering spikes of high dark energy in the entire battlefield. "Do you get their locations?" he simply said while heading towards the closest one.
\'I\'ll inform Jud of the other two,\' Gege could read his mind and thus she knew what he found out just now.
"It\'s time to test my new power once more," Arthur was so eager to put his newly acquired ability to the test. After all, the first time he used it came at such a stressful and dangerous moment.
So he feared not being able to use it like he did before. However, just as he moved closer, he started to first control the white energy from the vast world around.
As he did before, he closed his eyes and tried to meditate.. Like before he felt a great attraction towards the white energy all around, and when he reopened his eyes, he could see a white pillar of white energy surrounding him.
