Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

His reply highlighted something to Arthur, as he just smiled faintly, while his mind was unveiling a huge scheme done by these clans. "Tell me, have anyone ever managed to see the aquatic world?" Arthur asked.

"Of course not, how can we risk entering the water?!!"

Geunin\'s reply was enough for Arthur, as he just smiled in confidence, as he asked again, while other soldiers were arranging everyone inside the village, preparing them for the migration.

"Are there any other villages near here?"

"There are five more villages nearby in this valley."

"Valley?" Arthur asked, as he never thought he was next to a valley.

"Yes, we are in the great valley next to the huge salty lake, it\'s five hundred miles to the south from here, just behind these five mountains."

Arthur glanced again at these five mountains, wondering if the queen alone was enough to play with these soldiers there. "So, this lake also had huge aquatic monsters?" Arthur asked without moving his eyes from the mountains.

"No, master, the salty waters are safe, with no monsters at all!"

"Oh!!" Arthur turned to look at Guenin, as his doubts started to be more grounded. If there was such an aquatic world, then it wouldn\'t differentiate between salty and non-salty waters.

Arthur was sure a huge scheme was there in this world, and he planned to uncover it, and use it for his own gains.

The number of villagers here reached far more than he initially thought, as twenty thousand men, women, and children walked outside this primitive village, heading straight towards the place Arthur chose to be the centre of his city.

He sent messages to everyone, giving them head up news of his approach with all this number of people. He didn\'t want them to mistook these villagers as being part of the invading army he just warned them against.

"I noticed the superb armors and weapons you have, did you make them?" Arthur pointed towards the sword and armor of Geuning as he asked.

"They are made by the blacksmiths in our village, and they aren\'t top rank masters. The weapons and armors made for the armies of the alliances are much better than these."

Arthur took note of that, as he decided to send someone to collect the gears out of the fallen bodies of these soldiers in the mountains. He would just wait for his scorpion to return before he would think of sending anyone.

"Do you use specific ores then?"

"No, just the ores we extract from the mountains."

Arthur glanced at these mountains, as his vision now changed towards them. they weren\'t simply mountains, but a treasure trove for him.

He glanced again towards the great armors and weapons of Geunin and his soldiers, and felt somehow envy of them. he must find a way to keep the city he was going to build here under his control in the future, and if possible he would try to snatch this whole pocket world and keep it under his own possession.

The journey didn\'t take longer than an hour, and they arrived at the place which Arthur left empty before. During the journey, Arthur learnt that this forest resembled the great forest at the borders of his clan, full of wild monsters, with some clans already living there inside it.

There were also bounty hunter guilds here, and the way of their fights were similar to that in the world Arthur came from. The only difference, though, was the absence of any academy, as this term was alien to Geunin ears.

Arthur also knew more info regarding the five villages nearby here, as they had slightly larger populations than this village. Arthur decided to go and conquer them today, as each village had one thousand warriors at least.

This world didn\'t know the word mage, as they call their mages warriors. Most of them use their inner demons to fight using their weapons, and only warriors of the big clans had access to tame beasts, or having pets, like the one Arthur just killed.

That gave Arthur some insights, as he also learnt how much the villages and towns in the open world antagonize the big clans. If not for the sudden invasion of the outsiders, and the forming of the big five alliances, these villages and towns would never align themselves with the great clans.

"Welcome back clan head," Ron said, as he returned with the others, fortifying the place around the river, covering an area of over two miles already with a preliminary wall.

For Arthur\'s mages, this was nothing, but to the warriors and villagers coming with Arthur, this was much greater and bigger than the wall they used to live inside.

"Ron, go and summon Amelia, Randy, Omar, and Madly. Also bring Ouly and Clovert with you."

"Ouly and Clovert didn\'t return yet, as they send Lily back, informing us of finding something interesting there," Ron said, before glancing over Arthur\'s shoulders, before continuing after Arthur nodded, giving him the permission to speak, "there is a huge ore mine nearby here, and they found many mages guarding there. they also noticed something strange, as these mages did something to the ores, before throwing them into the nearby river."

The words of Ron seemed nothing, but to Arthur he knew this was the key to all this nightmare occurring in this world.

The plan of ruling over here with absolute authority and unquestionable strength just emerged in his mind, as he started thinking about the steps of his plan, before saying:

"Bring Lily as well, and send a message to Clovert and others, make them try and bring some of these ores here."

Ron didn\'t delay, despite not knowing why Arthur was this excited. Arthur then, while waiting for his main mages to come, turned to Geunin as he said:

"You will attend this meeting, and inside it you will learn some facts about your world.. just accept them and don\'t be surprised."
