Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The name wasn\'t something simple, especially when it became repeated like this in each formation. The more puzzled thing was that he didn\'t spot anything related to darkness at all, which made him wonder where the main trick was!

This trick was hidden very deep that even he after a whole day of thinking and speculation couldn\'t find it. "sigh, let it be then, once I have time I would try and experiment on real soldiers, and I might gain some insights about this part."

He loudly sighed and complained, as he ended his current thinking session at the nightfall. His muttering was heard by Lily, who hurried to him as she said with a smile:

"The fight down there is about to end, and the monster tide coming here stopped for a couple of hours already."

Her words made him move to the edge of the mountain, where he spotted the clear clean ground of the city, and the valley was already having few monsters fighting each other there.

From their external appearances, he knew they had evolved much further than he expected. "Let\'s head down to the city then," he muttered, as it was now safe to descend.

He didn\'t receive any news from Amelia all this time, which made him slightly worried. As they both moved along the mountain, and reached the next side in a few hours, the scene of his city was now apparent from this far.

Despite the night, there were many fireplaces spread along the ground already. When they started to reach near the ground, sounds of working hands reached their ears, making Arthur speculate about what was going on.

He then crossed the remaining distance of the mountain with Lily until they reached the ground. When they did so, dawn was already upon them, and while they moved to the city, crossing the remaining distance on flat grounds, they took three hours to do so, making them reach the camp in the early lights of the new day.

"Wow, they really are working hard already," Lily muttered expressing her amazement from what she saw in the daylight.

The once clear and clean grounds started to change, with many holes being dug everywhere, and many holes were already centered around the branch of the river, just like Arthur told them to do.

This sight made Arthur giggle, as he realized that the villagers had already known the dark truth of the great scam they were exposed to.

Their eyes were opened, widely opened on the real truth, and it just felt nice to do so.

"Welcome back, clan head."

Once he neared the place of their work, Amelia spotted him with many others, as they hurriedly moved towards him and Amelia welcomed him first.

"Great work everyone. Tell me, have anything major occurred?"

"The group of enemies who were ditching ores in the river got beaten up by monsters during the strange tide, and now the whole area is clear from any hostile," Clovert said, as he already came back.

"Here is the map of the whole region, we made sure to fly for hours around the place. we also spotted many villages and towns around us, all are marked in this map," Ouly moved forward couple of steps, before handing over a piece of scroll.

Arthur took it and nodded to both of them, while he hurriedly opened the map. He was astonished to find a very detailed one, including the mountains, forests, rivers, and also villages and towns which he greatly desired.

The number of these towns and villages exceeded what Geunin once said, as there were approximately twenty of them, half were stationed inside the forest.

"Listen up," Arthur then glanced at everyone, "once the ability to use monsters safely returns, we will move out, sending envoys to these places, asking them to yield to us. We just need a response, those are willing to join must all move from their places and come here.

We will promise them security, food, and also help them get stronger. Those who would refuse will face the hard fist of min."

Arthur\'s words weren\'t light to anyone standing here, however they knew no one of these towns and villages would agree to yield, not this easily, not without a show of power.

Arthur knew that already, however he also knew how tight his time he had was.

"May I suggest paying them a visit personally, and try to convince them to join?" Geunin suggested, however Arthur shook his head as he explained:

"We don\'t have time for that, as what we did here might attract strong enemies to us soon. The scheme we just uncovered isn\'t simple, and those great clans and alliances won\'t sit still and watch us destroy their legacy."

Arthur\'s words gave everyone a clear vision of the future, it was a very dark and hard one. However, none of them was worried, as they already knew how strong and creative their clan head was.

"Now, I want to ask you about this," Arthur then shifted all his attention towards Geunin, as he took out one crossbow and one group of trebuchet pieces on the ground. "Do you recognize any of these?" Arthur asked, while pointing out towards the two of them.

"Oh, this is a crossbow, and this is a trebuchet. Of course I know the two of them, as they are two of the mightiest weapons these great clans have. How did you come to obtain these?!"

Arthur didn\'t explain how, but he was much concerned with how to make more, as he asked:

"Can you make more of these?"

Geunin face showed his struggle with that, as he replied with some embarrassment:

"These two requires the blueprints for making them, and very skilled workers to manufacture them according to the drawings. Away from the skilled workers at the large towns in our worlds, no one can do it."

"Large towns? Is there anyone nearby?" Arthur asked with more interest in that.
