Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Alright, tell me both then," Arthur took a deep breath while standing in wait for his system.

\'Ding! The first bad news is that this army is coming to assault a very big base nearby.\'

"I already figured that," Arthur said.

\'Ding! No you don\'t understand,\' the system explained, \'Ding! According to the tree this settlement is a special one. It contains at least ten fold the number of villagers and mages we have gained so far. Plus their villagers aren\'t ignorant; they are very experienced at defense.\'

"This…" Arthur suddenly felt tempted, "and the worse news?"

\'Ding! This isn\'t a safe spot, but we are at the border of a group of six dark clans and one strong academy that supports them.\'

"Hmm… I already figured this out," Arthur muttered, "but this settlement… it\'s bad to let it fall."

\'Ding! They already announced their allegiance in public to you,\' the system said, \'Ding! According to the tree a couple of days ago they even raised a flag with a blue dragon drawing on it as a signal for following you. This seemed to instigate the wrath of the nearby clans so they formed a coalition army and came here on a punitive quest.\'

"They are courageous," Arthur nodded, "I like that. More reason to stand beside them."

\'Ding! But the plan…\'

"Sometimes plans don\'t proceed as we initially devised," Arthur said before adding, "let\'s retreat. According to the tree\'s words they must have strong defenses, right?"

\'Ding! That\'s what she said.\'

"Alright," Arthur turned to the opposite side and started to fly fast, "make her keep an eye over them. I want to know their numbers, approximate estimation of their power, and if they have any outsiders with them or not."

\'Ding! As you wish,\' the system said before asking, \'Ding! What about the army inside?\'

"Make them prepared, we are going to war soon," Arthur turned his gaze towards the back where the enormous army was crawling non-stop, "very soon."

He took a flight of less than three hours to reach the outer region of the settlement. "This…" he hovered in the air while glancing over the grand walls, the huge towers, and those seemingly sophisticated defensive tools.

A grand and strong looking shield was activated above the entire cluster of towns and villages. "If they removed these walls inside then it can be easily called a grand city," he muttered while noticing their arrangements and the large number of mages who stood erect over the walls.

\'Ding! Where are you going?\' the system suddenly asked in puzzlement.

"I need to see their effort," Arthur said as he went to the clouds and vanished there, "plus I need to select the most appropriate time to appear, right?"

\'…\'

"A king shouldn\'t be treated like a normal peasant," Arthur grinned, "and I have a perfect chance to make a legendary entrance, why would I spoil this?"

\'…\'

The system kept his silence while Arthur kept hovering over the clouds while sneaking over the settlement underneath from time to time.

\'Ding! They are here,\' the system said after twelve hours, \'Ding! I believe we should have used this time jumping to another place instead.\'

"C\'mon, these people are so brave to act this way," Arthur was already happy with their actions, "if I didn\'t show up to support them, then I would be like letting them down."

\'…\'

Arthur knew his system wasn\'t accepting his logic but he changed his mind already. Having such a wedge deeply inside his enemies would act as a distraction from anything else.

Despite this, the place was simply perfect! With some renovation here and there, this settlement would turn into a mighty city in one night.

The moment the army arrived at the grand walls and the strong shield they started their assault at once.

\'Ding! There are many outsiders here,\' the system suddenly said, \'Ding! They were perfectly hidden but they appeared now.\'

"How many are there?" Arthur calmly asked, "and what are they doing? Trying to crush the walls?"

\'Ding! There are around five thousand of them,\' the system said, \'Ding! And they are dealing with the shield.\'

"So they will leave the walls for later," Arthur muttered, "make the army ready."

\'What I missed? Yawn…\' all of sudden Gege appeared as she just woke up.

"Welcome our sweet lady," Arthur laughed, "it\'s a perfect time to wake up."

\'Oh… is there a fight or something?\'

Arthur knew she loved fighting and supporting his technique during it. her excited tone went to another level when she got what was happening from the system.

\'It\'s a war… marvelous,\' she shouted in joy like a little child, \'C\'mon, let\'s descend and teach these bastards a lesson.\'

"First we\'ll summon the army," Arthur muttered, "bring everyone… let\'s join this war in big bang!"

\'Ding! Leave it to me,\' the system then started to summon the army stationed inside and the first he summoned were the three supreme leaders.

"Oh… you managed to catch up," Arthur exclaimed in joy.

"We got the wind of what was going on," Amera said before turning to see beyond the clouds, "it\'s a good place, they have strong walls and very decent defenses. Is this a city of yours?"

"Will be," Arthur said before adding, "the enemy has many mages from the higher realms. Your task is to deal with them swiftly before we summon the rest of the army and crush them."

"Are they coming from somewhere?" the crow suddenly said, "I feel like their bases are near."

"I also got this feeling," Doaf also said.

"Good guess," Arthur laughed, "there are six big clans and one academy nearby."

"Then this is a good place for us to show up," Doaf laughed in excitement, "I thought you brought us to the middle of nowhere."

"Yeah, we can settle here for quite some time and teach those bastards a lesson," Amera said before turning to him, "when should we move?"

"After me," Arthur didn\'t delay and started to activate his technique.
