Chapter 214 - Breaking The Cursed Bonds For Two Days
The journey to that mine would take at least six hours from Birdy to make them reach there, but after flying for four hours, many villages and towns started to appear, like small dots from their high altitude.
"Descend there."
Arthur instructed, as he pointed towards the centre of this cluster of villages and towns. The distribution of them here reminded him of the two towns and five villages distribution, however this time it was five folds this number, covering more area than the previous cluster he conquered.
Lily followed his orders, making Birdy descend towards the central town there. "Will we descend or fly over?" she asked.
"Fly over for now," he replied. In minutes they were already above the sky of the town, while Arthur shouted with his loudest voice:
"Hear my words, I\'m Willy, the leader of the outsiders. I came here today to free you from your curses, and claim all your allegiance to me. if not, I will have to reside in force, you have five minutes to consider."
His words reverberated far and near, and while he was just flying fast over this town, a response came from a location away from all these towns and villages.
"Who is so impudent to try and assume his ability to remove my family curse! Heed my orders everyone, activat…"
The owner of this voice didn\'t have time to continue speaking, as Arthur channeled his energy fast, stimulating his transformation.
Arthur knew his body evolved, and his transformation now became not forced like before. So, he decided to try here stimulating the dragonair form without any external aid, as he already felt his ability to do so when he broke the curses inside the bodies of those warriors and villagers from before.
"Roar!"
His mighty roar interrupted the shout of that young master of the Dorfis clan. Arthur\'s body changed in response to his will, and his stimulated energy channeled inside his body turned his body into a dragon.
He flapped his wings, and then headed directly towards the location the voice came from. It took him five minutes to reach there, and during these minutes he never stopped channeling his energy!
"Attack!"
The scared voice of this young master came to order his warriors. In the next moment, a huge amount of arrows darted towards Arthur, who just flapped his wings casually, breaking them all!
His body was the toughest armor that these arrows might face! He was already upon their heads, and the next moment he opened his mouth, and let the flood of his burning fire fall upon them like judgment day!
"Attack, keep attacking!"
The shouts of this young master were mixed with the horrible screams of the warriors down below. In mere minutes, Arthur had passed over this area a couple of times, causing hell to descend on this part of forest, bruning everything, killing any form of life there!
In less than five minutes, a huge army formed of ten thousand elite warriors was killed, along with the young master dispatched from the Dorfis clan branch at the ore mine to obstruct any attempt of these towns and villages to rebel!
Arthur flew a couple of times in the region, and when he found no one to say a single word against him, he went towards the direction of Lily\'s bird, canceled his transformation, and landed there beside her like nothing happened.
Lily was speechless, and she wasn\'t the only one to feel so, but everyone inside this cluster of villages and towns were as well.
"Surrender now or die!" Arthur shouted to everyone down below, and in the next few minutes, all the protective shields were removed, while a huge number of villagers and warriors excited these towns and villages.
"Please free us, and we will swear allegiance to you."
Many shouts came from everywhere, and Arthur just raised his hand high to silence them all. "I will free you now one by one, hurry and organize yourselves. Those freed will take everything here and head towards the end of this forest, where five mountains lied."
Arthur then jumped off the back of Birdy, used tall trees to descend safely on the ground, while a long freeing session started here.
It took him two days to finish freeing them. During those days, he sent Lily to do two things for him, first to scan the region of any incoming army of this clan, and second to find other clusters like this one, told to him by the villagers and warriors he was freeing.
He was also surprised to see many high class warriors coming forward, surrendering to him. that dead young master didn\'t come only with a ten thousand army, but with a hundred thousand, but he dispersed his army inside these towns and villages to control the masses.
These warriors were also controlled like others, lived a humiliated fearful life, and so they welcomed the generous offer of Arthur, announcing their allegiance to him.
Many came from areas far away from here, so it wasn\'t possible for Arthur to free their homes, but he promised them to do whatever he could to help them if he had the chance to do so.
In two days he kept working day and night, feeling some gains after freeing all of them. "Listen up, just follow the forest to its end, and head straight towards the five great mountains in the distance."
Everyone started to pack their things, move out, while the warriors were hesitating about leaving him alone.
"Esteemed lord, this clan is really hard to deal with. They have strong defensive tools ready at their town in the mine," one of the warriors said to Arthur, trying to ask to join him.
"Don\'t worry everyone, I\'m not that weak myself. Just go ahead and work hard in my city."
His words didn\'t make them feel any better, but they couldn\'t disobey his orders.. So, unwillingly they started to march heading straight towards the direction of his city.
