Chapter 317 - Preparing Reinforcements
"…"
The system didn\'t even bother to respond to him while he moved towards the above of the shield of the city. what he saw down there was something that gave him quite a surprise.
"Wow, all the underground stuff is done, and even thirty percent of all the building process is about to be complete. That\'s amazing!" he then moved his gaze towards the distance, trying to see where was the weakest part here in the wall.
"Roar!"
However many roars erupted as a huge swarm of monsters moved heading towards him. they gathered together, formed a huge formation in the high altitude, before descending towards him like thunder.
"Sigh, you never learn your lessons, do you?" he took out his bow and single arrow of extermination before firing it towards the other end of this army.
"Rumble!"
The moment the arrow was launched, the monsters showed a restless movement. They paused, gathered together like trying to form circles around circles.
"So you are trying to deal with my arrow? Really?" he laughed while taking out another arrow and then a third and fourth down to twelve arrows were launched.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
.
.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
Each arrow hit a different target in a different direction. Yet they all surrounded the huge group of monsters in between while creating a twelve points diagram.
And the next moment was like doomsday!
Arthur was sure of his arrow\'s effect, so he didn\'t even bother to watch or turn his head to gaze. He knew this attack was so mighty that it was enough to clear all the hostiles on this side, or at least half of them.
His main concern was to get away from the initial blast waves of the explosions, and find the place with the weakest defenses.
"Boom!"
He managed to escape the radius of explosions easily, but not the after shock waves. His body was hit massively with wave after wave creating bang sounds on his body, and finally diverting him to hit the shield forcibly and violently, making the entire shield shake.
It wasn\'t due to his impact with it, but to the constant shock waves that erupted and lasted for the whole ten minutes.
"Sigh, I need to find a better way to deal with such attacks," he muttered while examining his bruised body and smashed scales. "I was lucky to get away from the radius of the blast. I should think of a protective shield like those which protected me and the girls inside the pocket worlds."
"Ding! You can have a protective shield of your own as a function of the system."
"Really? Don\'t tell me it\'s later, right?"
"Ding! At least there is light at the end of the tunnel."
"I first need to survive the tunnel mate," he gritted his teeth before channeling his energy inside his body trying to accelerate the healing and make his body regain his previous flexibility.
Then he flew again, while marveling the devastation his attack just created. Literally all the hostiles in the air were swept clean, except for a mere group of a thousand monsters which survived the hit using their strange circle array.
"But they look quite devastated. No need for me to act, my boys will do the job," he muttered before turning to the front, focusing on finding the weakest spot here.
The city was already large and spanned over a huge stretch of land. He flew for half an hour just to reach the other end, making him feel much proud for having this beast built here.
"Found you," he shouted the moment he spotted places with no walls in them yet. The walls were built, mostly, and the few bare areas remaining were now having the most brutal fights in this war.
And the enemy had focused his most capable warriors and monsters to target these areas.
"Twenty five gaps, that\'s really something," he sighed before noticing another problem; the shield.
The protective shield seemed to work on the walls by certain mechanisms. The absence of these walls in these areas made it impossible for the shield to cover this.
And that wasn\'t everything, the shield had to retreat towards the wall section inside the city, exposing a great deal in this part to the enemy.
"It\'s amazing they managed to keep these areas secure so far," he commended when he realized how hard it was to defend these parts.
It would be easier to retreat and give up these places, while fighting the enemy behind the rear walls and shield.
Yet Amelia and the others decided to match the enemy head on and not conceded even for a single inch of the city to them. That attitude impressed him so much, and he realized he really chose his trusted top aiders well.
"Ding! I have to warn you, using the arrows here will affect your men as well as the buildings."
"I know," he simply replied before flying closer to these spots. "I think I must work on improving my own strength and upgrading you as well."
"Ding! You want more functions?"
"Sure, if I have more options here then this fight would be much easier, right?"
He then closed his eyes for a second, entering his garden and gave the order to the free and extra warriors there to be ready. "I can\'t use the extermination arrows, yet I can use the normal arrows, right?" he smiled as he took out a large bunch of normal arrows and then started shooting from far away at the incoming hordes of flying monsters.
Each arrow held a strong force that was enough to instantly kill a monster before continuing its path to kill another two or three at least.
This seemed nothing in comparison to the large number of enemies coming at him, yet he kept firing non-stop, while waiting for the right moment and place to make his warriors appear.
"As you decided to come here, don\'t think about going home again," he evilly smirked as he decided the place where he would spread out his surprise army.
