Chapter 225 - The Appearance Of The Invisible Poison Once More
That meant he needed flying pets to do so, to move warriors enough to gather wood, and make them return here to resupply the exhausted reserves.
"How can I do that?" he muttered to himself, thinking about how to solve this dilemma. He didn\'t lack warriors, and currently he could spare to send thousands of them away, but the only problem lied in how to move them there!
"Sigh, the only solution is to use Birdy and make him move them on many trips, risking attracting the attention of others," he sighed, as he had no other option here.
All the monsters appeared so far were ground based monsters, not a single flying one showed its ugly face yet. And so, he was lacking in the flying mighty power of pets, and currently he had to act with what he had in hand.
"Sigh," he sighed, before taking out one bird\'s wing and wrote a message to Lily, asking her to come here at once. he also took a couple of the bird\'s wings of leaders of the ten peaks close to him, and ordered them to send three hundred warriors back with their pets to his central peak.
Three thousand warriors, and Lily\'s Birdy could only move up to three hundred at most in each trip. That meant ten trips alone to move the warriors to the front, and ten again to send them back when finished, or if there was any sort of danger occurring there to them.
According to his estimates, the journey to the distant parts of the forest would take half an hour flying, and that meant this move would take around five hours to move them to distant places.
"Sigh, ten hours lost in just resupplying woods, plus the trips taken by Lily to gather the woods constantly, losing her aid in this fight," he helplessly sighed, shaking his head in regret, as he wouldn\'t prefer to lose his sky eye in this fight, not when things would develop to much more heights soon.
Lily received his message, and she headed back towards his peak at once. As for the ten peaks around him, the ones receiving the message there started to dispatch those unneeded by them at the moment.
Lily stood there with her Birdy flying above her head, with the ten warriors standing on the back of it. the three thousand warriors group started to show up in batches, coming from the ten peaks around.
"Is there a hidden task I smell here?" Lily asked when she noticed the coming from far warriors.
"We are running low on wood here," Arthur said, and his words instantly attracted her attention. She knew their current advantage and superiority was able to happen due to the explosive arrows.
Without them, they would lose the upper hand instantly.
"Want me to take them away?" she understood Arthur\'s line of thoughts from the many interactions together.
"Sure, you will go to places behind all the monsters. Scatter them in ten groups, each is three hundred warriors. leave them to cut trees and organize them well, and give them your and my bird\'s wings to contact when they have many wood to carry," Arthur said, and Lily nodded as she understood what he wanted her to do.
"What about dangers?"
"They have my and your bird\'s wing. If anything happens, they will be easy to defend themselves using their pets, and we will be notified at once."
"And?" she insisted, and he just silently glanced at her. "Sigh, fine, but if there is an opportunity to save them, I will," she said, in a warning tone, as she understood the hidden meaning of Arthur.
He wouldn\'t move out to save them except if it was safe here, which was something hard to believe to happen so soon.
This all happened in soft whispers, and after the two finished, Lily then turned to face the three thousands in front of her as Arthur said:
"You will go with Lily towards places behind the monster tide. Your role is to gather wood from there as fast as you can, and as much as you can."
Arthur then turned to supervise the whole battle again, leaving things here to Lily, who started to answer the warriors questions about using pets, killing monsters there, and how to move the wood to here.
She answered all of them, as she would be the one responsible for the moving process. Arthur gave her one of his nine rings, and despite not being empty currently, there was a large space inside to store.
As such, Lily then loaded her Birdy with three hundred warriors, while leaving her ten warriors with crossbows there as well, asking them to guard everyone, and then flew towards the distance.
Arthur just followed her with his eyesight for a while before he returned to focus on the fight ongoing here.
He knew she would be spotted by others observing this fight, and this might put the whole group at risk. As for her, he wasn\'t worried, as no flying monster was here to threaten her.
The fight kept raging, as the formations helped his army in defending this area. After hours of constant fighting, Arthur noticed something coming towards here from the direction of the five hidden gates.
At first he thought he noticed some kind of reflection on the air far away, however after a few minutes, he started to see the same kind of shimmering sparks in many places, getting near towards here.
He didn\'t know what was that, and just he was in daze, Tina\'s huge dragon body suddenly jumped from the distant grounds, where she was having her fun time with other monsters there, and instantly darted towards Arthur\'s peak, shouting one single word in an alarming tone:
"Poison!"
Her scream made the eyes of Arthur be widened while his mind instantly linked everything. "Not good!" he muttered, as he realized everything.
The next moment, he didn\'t delay and started channeling his energy. The next moment he took the dragon form, instantly darting to the sky!
And before he left, a huge pile of bottles appeared in the place his dragon body was taking.
