Chapter 949 - The Cold Blooded Necromancers
Having such a player in his forces was something Arthur craved for. However even with the description from the golden dragon, Gege took quite some time to find him.
Yet eventually she found him!
\'I located him,\' she suddenly said before pausing for a second there, \'wait… There are three of them.\'
"Three?" Arthur was surprised when he heard that. This was good news for him. "Where? Tell me their places at once!"
He instantly started to move. His forces were about to leave this place and he only stayed there all alone. In front of him, endless enemies remained, aggressively trying to hunt the remaining forces of him.
\'Ding! Wait! Are you planning on fighting your path alone towards them?\' The system seemed a bit worried but Arthur\'s next words made him settle down.
"Take five originals out," he didn\'t plan to play low at this stage.
\'F… Five?!!\' Gege wasn\'t the only one shocked, but the other two were feeling the same as well.
"I don\'t want them to escape," Arthur said before adding, "and I don\'t want anyone to interrupt my talk with them. Tell me where I should go, right or left?"
\'Just keep going ahead,\' Gege sighed, \'they are inside the academy itself.\'
"Hmm… That might complicate things…" Arthur realized these necromancers were hired by the academy or the clans supporting it.
However the fact that they stayed inside the academy gave him the impression that they were part of it. He knew the stance of the academy towards him.
They considered him as their mortal enemy. So trying to sweet talk with these necromancers might pose a challenge for him.
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
However the next instant five portals appeared and expanded in haste. The atmosphere all around changed before five giants appeared in this world.
"Keep everyone away from me," Arthur didn\'t want to let his target slip off his fingers. So the moment these five beasts appeared next to him, he gave them this direct and clear order.
And the next minute the entire world shook under the brutal attacks of these originals. They only waved their hands and caused enough devastation to be called a catastrophe!
Arthur watched this in silence while thinking about one thing. "What if they have weapons?" he couldn\'t shake this idea away from his mind.
The originals were already overbearing without anything. But such beings must need strong and special weapons.
But having these weapons, despite being difficult in making them, would transform their potential. They would turn into real powerhouses, not any lesser than those grandmasters of big clans in higher realms.
Arthur decided to seek this matter later. After all he had another powerhouse to go after for now.
However, as expected, this task wasn\'t going easy for him!
The shields that covered the academy were thick and numerous. The more his originals crushed the more they popped up instantly the next moment.
Arthur\'s originals were brutal! One hit and they could crush a single shield. But in front of such persistence, and when they were literally marching inside the enemy lines, things couldn\'t go easy for them.
Plus those necromancers seemed to feel Arthur\'s gazes upon them. So they decided to act!
"Creak!"
"Creak!"
"Creak!"
The ground cracked open and an endless sea of skeletons came to the surface. It was the first time for Arthur to witness such a scene.
Truth to be told he felt impressed by this ability of the necromancers! Skeletons came in sheer numbers like a tsunami.
They looked fragile. But according to the earlier words and warning of the golden dragon he knew they couldn\'t be underestimated.
\'Don\'t worry about them,\' however as he was hesitant, the golden dragon suddenly said, \'they can only grow on the deaths of others. They can\'t touch your originals. So rest assured and keep advancing.\'
The words of the golden dragon relaxed Arthur a little. However he still had some doubts.
In less than five minutes, his fears came true! The golden dragon underestimated the necromancers by great deal in that regard.
They didn\'t hold any concern for anyone. And surely they held no loyalty to any flag. So when things seemed impossible for them to level up their skeletons, they didn\'t hesitate to give a cold order in cold blood.
"They… are killing their allies!!" under the watchful gazes of Arthur he watched the endless stream of skeletons turning their bony claws and jaws and jumping over their allies.
The mages gathered from the academy and clans were vast! Their sheer numbers were enough to make these skeletons evolve to terrifying beasts in no time!
This sudden shift didn\'t bear bad news for Arthur. He knew for sure such turning in events would lead towards one end.
"Make sure to keep an eye over these necromancers," he hurriedly said to Gege while flying forward, "I\'m sure they\'ll move soon."
\'How did you know that?\' Just before he could finish his words, he hears the surprised shout from Gege. \'They are already moving. Suspicious, isn\'t it?\'
Arthur only smiled while the golden dragon laughed.
\'Ding! It\'s not suspicious at all! They just attacked their allies. Meaning the clans will be furious at them.\'
The golden dragon joined in and taught Gege another thing.
\'If they stayed behind, they will get the wrath of those who hired them.\'
\'That\'s…\' Gege was lost for words for one second before sighing, \'these necromancers… Can we trust them?\'
"They only care about their skeletons," Arthur sneered, "and if they only want that, then I\'ll give them all the chances in the world to do this freely without any restraints."
\'…\'
Gege seemed not to follow his words, but the other two laughed in delight and content. Things seemed to shift towards Arthur\'s side.
He wasn\'t even a bit worried about these necromancers. He wanted them specifically for their bloodlust and cold heart.
If they wanted massacres, he would gladly unleash them behind his forces and let them have their fun.
This incident also added another aspect of light over these necromancers. They had one loyalty after all, which was towards their creation.
Arthur now had a way to convince them to join hands with him. He would provide heaven to them, and they would be only fools to say no.
"Which way are they running to?" Arthur didn\'t want to waste his time in meaningless fights. He kept flying forward, leaving behind the ongoing massacre between the skeleton army and the combined mages army.
He also didn\'t want to delve deeply inside the enemy lines. The academy wasn\'t a push over after all.. He wanted to bypass it and save time to head directly towards his target; the necromancers.
