Chapter 258 - Taking All The Warehouses
He moved with Tina towards the nearby buildings. The central area was formed entirely of large buildings, five to seven stories tall, numbering around fifty, with the size of the large warehouses he was now quite familiar with.
Once reached a building, he entered it. huge war tools were lined in complete form, one after another, to fill the area of this spacious warehouse.
"They are huge!" Tina remarked while Arthur was just grinning from ear to ear. "We need to take them all," he said before thinking about the time and effort needed to do so. "Didn\'t I take a warehouse before?" he thought to himself, recalling the supply tent he had once acquired from the small military camp in the mountains.
"Let\'s go," he said to Tina as both headed to the outside. "No harm in trying," he encouraged himself to get over the bitter potential loss of all things inside if he didn\'t manage to pull this trick.
He put his palm on the building before closing his eyes and tried to take it inside his largest storage item he currently had; the heavenly garden.
"Rumbl!"
The building twisted and rumbled for a moment giving his heart a scare there! however in the next moment, and as he opened his eyes, he was so pleased to see the whole building was gone, leaving behind a large empty area with some wooden remains dug deeply in the ground.
He closed his eyes again, and when he entered the heavenly garden he was welcomed with a mighty wave of roars and rumbles. Explosions were still going everywhere as the garden was purifying piece after piece of the dark forests he added to it.
Despite all this time, not a single pillar was purified so far! There was one pillar that the garden reached, but it left a small dark area around it before going on to purify the remaining vast areas of its forest.
"So the garden has to first completely purify every single piece of land before purifying the pillars," he sighed as this would take longer than he expected. He moved his glance to spot the warehouse he just took, standing proudly near the centre of his garden, just next to the remains of the slain guardian of the garden.
"Good, now I can instantly take them all!" he smirked evilly and greedily moved to one warehouse after another, taking a peek inside before taking the whole building inside his garden.
Despite the large size and spacious area of storage inside each building, he knew that the war tools there were huge, taking much of the space inside as they were fully assembled.
That meant the total number he would gain from them wouldn\'t be much, but it would be enough to fortify his city and make it impregnable.
He spotted trebuchets, ballistae –large, intermediate, and small. He also found some catapults, dart carts, large bows, siege towers, even gate smasher carts were found as well.
"They came quite prepared," he muttered as after he finished taking everything, he glanced over the distant castle, feeling how much important it was for the clan to take such lengths to attack it.
"Roar!"
Sara was still busy venting off her anger and frustration over that monster, and Arthur didn\'t hurry her, not yet. "Let\'s go back," he said as he jumped over Tina\'s back, and she flew towards the portal.
There, they found those who surrendered were gathered together, forming many small protective shields to shield them from the crazy monsters. As for the armies he passed by during his path to here, most of them retreated, and joined the surrendered forces.
Most, not all, as there were two armies still walking in the distant horizon, wanting to go to the pillar forces and support them. "You go and kill these two stupid groups. Aim for their leaders and if the others surrendered, make them retreat to here," he said as he jumped off her, turned to a dragon, and dived deeply towards the ground.
"Sigh, always giving me orders and nothing else, tsk," she groaned but he totally ignored her words. She was quite ambitious, and greedy like any dragon. However he wasn\'t obliged to listen to her words, demands, or complaints.
As he went down to establish a protective shield around a suitable area for his new warriors to live, putting into account the incoming huge number of villagers as well, Tina started her barrage of attacks over the two shielded armies, while venting her own frustration over them.
He just kept doing his own task, ignoring the brutal fight she was having with those two armies. Each had ten thousand warriors at least, making him not quite interested in gaining them all right now.
The number of warriors alone in front of him were in hundreds of thousands, making his vision towards the numbers of the warriors change dramatically.
"Done!" he smiled as he had finished laying down the shield, only needed to be activated by his drop of blood. "Are you finished?" he turned to ask Tina, to find her returning with less than half of the initial numbers of the two armies.
He shook his head and said nothing, as this was an acceptable result, and insignificant loss. "Go inside, hurry and don\'t waste my time anymore, or else…" she shouted at the warriors and they shivered out of fear before running over towards Arthur. As they entered the shield zone, he dropped his blood, finally activating the barrier, feeling like closing the barn door over some cattle.
Let\'s go back, it\'s time to head for that castle," he said as he jumped over Tina and both went through the portal and appeared at the other end of it.
As they left the fight going on, they returned to find it still continuing. Sara was so careful not to directly kill it, and even this monster\'s pleading for mercy and offers to surrender and shift sides didn\'t convince her to stop or even to show him any mercy!
"Wrap things up, we need to move."
