Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

However, unlike what Woo expected, he only got silence from Doaf.

The latter had no solid intel about this invasion, however he was quite sure it would be near.

"Sir, what do you want us to do?" Gor and Deem recognized Doaf and Amera instantly. They bowed to the two while addressing Doaf.

The fame of Amera being impulsive and hard to deal with was known even among Arthur\'s ranks.

"What is the status of the shields and defenses?" Doaf asked while he tried not to bring the name of Arthur to them.

"We have already activated the shields in full capacity," Deem said, "and we instructed our men to redeploy the traps around that sect."

"Good," Doaf nodded, "please add more, add everything you have out there."

"We will," Gor said before suddenly asking, "if I may, I haven\'t seen my lord yet. Is he out for a mission?"

Doaf was faced with what he tried to avoid. He controlled his face while exchanging silent glances with Amera.

"He is… out there to do something important," Amera said, "he left us to lead the fight here."

No one of the two doubted what she said. After all Arthur was well known for doing things in his own way, and usually he was doing these solo.

"Try to install as many traps inside the sect as well," Amera tried to get the two busy all the time so they wouldn\'t bother her or Doaf by asking about their missing lord, "fill the entire sect to the brim with traps."

"This…" it was Woo who was startled by this order, however the glaring look from Amera made him all silent.

"This is going to be a long and very hard defensive battle," Doaf tried to give proper reasons for everyone, "so it would be safe to be ready for any infiltration from now."

"I see," Woo nodded despite not believing a single word of what Doaf and Amera said. In his opinion this was nothing but obsessive behavior of feeling threatened all the time.

Even with all the odds, the sect defenses withstood the entire war and weren\'t damaged except at the end.

And even when that happened, only small gaps appeared there.

However Woo didn\'t know that was thanks to Deem and Gor. If not for the two and their men, the shields would have long gone during the early hours of the war.

"We will proceed then," Deem said before Gor turned to Woo, "we will need your help with arrays and people to aid us."

"Follow me," Woo excused himself and left the three behind.

"I don\'t like that Woo," Amera said while squeezing her eyes.

"Leave him be, he is a good man," Doaf took a deep breath, "the main problem is clear now, we don\'t know when they will attack."

"The more time we give them the harder it will be for us," Nicole said while the two gave her a weird look. "What?" she chuckled while asking.

"Look at you," Amera couldn\'t but smile, "acting like a real general. I\'m even surprised by that! Why didn\'t you ever lead an army and go to the frontlines before?"

Nicole knew Amera wasn\'t trying to be sarcastic or making fun of her, she seemed really surprised.

"It\'s just I don\'t like wars," Nicole sighed, "but that doesn\'t mean I\'m not able to lead armies."

"I can tell that," Doaf said before adding, "so we have to do something to force them to come… What would this be?"

"There is only one thing that could force them to come," Amera suddenly said and from her eyes Doaf realized what she was thinking of.

"Nicole, can you lend us some of your men?" Amera turned to Nicole and asked for help.

"I don\'t mind that," Nicole said while playing with her hair, "but on one condition."

"I agree," Amera instantly said.

"Won\'t you know it first?" Nicole asked in interest.

"You\'ll ask to come inside and know what we are going to do there, right?" Amera grinned before adding, "you are most welcomed to come and witness our work there."

Nicole could only smile in silence as Amera really read through her wishes. "Alright, I\'ll send my men with you," she said before suddenly adding, "I also have something else to do there."

Doaf seemed to be startled by that. And yet Nicole looked him in the eye while saying that. "You shouldn\'t send anyone to trail someone like me, right?" she directly confronted him and slightly was like this close to scolding him.

But she didn\'t.

Doaf could only sigh while watching the large number of Nicole\'s mages entering the world of Amera.

"Let\'s go," he started this by ordering some of his most capable men to watch her, but in the end he missed his chance and in return Nicole sent her men with him to keep an eye on what he was going to do.

In the end their seats were switched and he couldn\'t do anything about it.

After all, he lacked manpower and needed Nicole\'s men\'s help right now.

Doaf entered his world as well while he and Amera had the same mission in hand. They had to force those hostages to spill out what they already knew about the enemy and their plans.

However Nicole had another mission in hand.

The moment she entered Amera\'s world, she instantly ordered her men to bring those whom they captured to one location.

"Are you going to interrogate them?" Amera watched Nicole\'s mages pushing some of them to one location.

"They are loyal to my love, so I won\'t kill them," Nicole calmly said, "but if they didn\'t trust me as they trust her, then I have no use for them."

"Try to kill a couple of them first," Amera started giving advice about how to interrogate people, "this way they will realize you aren\'t bluffing and will spill all the beans without any effort."

"Oh, I like that," Nicole laughed, "I never knew you have such a dark part in you."

Amera only smiled while watching Nicole leave towards the location of her captives. "It\'s life that\'s dark, that\'s all," Amera couldn\'t help but comment to herself about what Nicole just said.

Then she turned towards her captives and started her own interrogation.
