Chapter 227 - The Sudden Appearance Of Three Mighty Monsters
The groups that appeared couldn\'t be spotted easily from his far location, but he knew for sure they appeared, as Tina suddenly grew restless, descended down from the sky without any warning, falling like a meteorite, and a massive clash occurred afterwards.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Despite the violent attacks occurring from her, Arthur just felt she wasn\'t doing as much damage there, or else why did she keep hammering that place with her claws and ice breath? She even started using her earth control ability as well!
From his far spot, he could see the dirt rising to the sky, and just after a few minutes, he managed to spot a huge dome, created by an invisible aura, and the dirt just showed it off to him and everyone.
"An array!" he muttered, as he realized his enemies were getting serious. "It seems their monsters are running low, that\'s a good sign indeed," he smirked, as he wanted for so long to draw them out of their hiding.
If they didn\'t come out by themselves, he would have to venture into their turf, but that would come on a greater risk; after all they must be well prepared to accept invaders there!
The next few minutes were filled by huge attacks from Tina, and finally that dome ruptured under her persistence, like a soft bubble bursting in hand, and then she started massacring the mages and warriors there.
Arthur didn\'t feel any sorry for them, as he turned his attention towards the other four places. "One down, four remained," he muttered. He thought of going there in his dragon form, rain over their heads, his burning fire, but he knew if he did so, this place would be overwhelmed by monsters after the disruption of his formations.
Plus, he didn\'t yet finish making enough potions! He only made enough for twenty thousands or slightly more.
He is still in need to work for more hours to satisfy his warriors needs. He also knew his warriors only had these hours before showing signs of toxicity, and thus he had no way to go out right now and toy with them.
He had to wait patiently right here, and wait for their grand formation to be completed, unfortunately.
The presence of these five places, hidden and distributed in such a way here, wasn\'t indeed a coincidence; this was the base of a grand formation!
"Taking one down isn\'t enough, at least two more must be destroyed to render this formation useless," he muttered to himself, while shaking his head in regret. "If not for the urgeness and seriousness of that poison, it would have been better for me to join Tina and devastate two more!
As he was dwelling in his own thoughts, Tina flew off from her place, announcing killing everyone there, before she went directly towards another direction.
"Be ready, they are coming in thousands, and they are pretty stronger than these weak monsters," she shouted from far, and he perfectly heard her warning.
He sighed, as he knew she was speaking the truth, as he expected this attack to come with all the might these dark mages and warriors could muster.
He had dealt with one of them personally, and he had to admit, he was much stronger than all the warriors and mages of his party so far!
And thus he was well prepared for the incoming brutal fight, ready for all the losses he might suffer to secure his victory.
His only focus was on completely killing those dark enemies, so he could be secured in his city.
Tina then went like a thunderbolt towards the next group of dark mages and warriors. their place was near his hills, making him sure they would arrive here in less than ten more minutes; they were moving pretty fast, faster than he thought!
He hurriedly took out his bird\'s wings related to all the leaders of the hills, and sent a warning message to all, making them ready for the great impact coming towards them.
He also sent to the outermost ten hills\' leaders, asking them to be ready to withdraw at any given notice. There were around twenty thousand warriors at these hills, enough to fortify his inner hills.
As Tina made one party stop in their tracks, attacking with all her might, feeling much anger and hatred towards those who launched this nasty poison here, the other three parties managed to reach the hills safely, and thus a formation started to take shape in front of Arthur\'s eyes.
"It\'s a summon formation, a brilliant one indeed!" Arthur muttered, as he recognized the array taking place in front of his eyes. It wasn\'t that hard to guess, after all a huge circle with many strange writings in its many inner circular rings appeared, with a scale enough to cover all the region his hills were taking.
And this was the effect of three groups only, which made him feel quite lucky to have Tina out there, or else this ring of summoning might be much larger than this.
"Retreat to the back hills, now!" he sent this order to all the leaders of the outermost hills. Against such incoming new monsters, they wouldn\'t be able to stand a chance alone!
So, it would be better not to lose them there, and try to fortify his second line of defense instead.
The warriors instantly started to evacuate the hills, moving inwardly in a very impressive motion. Midway, though, mighty roars erupted, and three strange shaped monsters appeared, with huge bodies, and the worst news was they were flying!
Airborne monsters! That was a disaster to all his warriors indeed!
They got accustomed to fighting ground monsters, and Arthur was relying on this fact in building his plan. However, right now, with the sudden appearance of these three huge monsters in the air, he knew his warriors wouldn\'t stand a chance alone!
"You are really making my job to kill you harder, you know," he muttered while shaking off his head. If his warriors were going to die either way, then he better leave the making of potions and join the fight personally.
This was the right decision to make right now!
The three monsters were still coming to this world, as their bodies weren\'t yet solid. One of them was like a huge dragon, but its head was the head of a strange bird, with three peaks in one head! Its body was as huge as Tina\'s body, slightly smaller than Arthur\'s.. instead of scales, it was covered half of its back body with feathers, long thin like needles, ending with sharp edges like large swords.
