Chapter 1009 – The Empire Is Growing Steadily
Gege started to act fast. Once hearing the orders coming from Gege, everyone imagined for granted that these were Arthur\'s orders.
In fact they all were itchy to fight. But Arthur always played it safe till now. They couldn\'t complain as he managed to create miracles without failing for a single time till now.
Yet they all craved fighting and yearned to gain merit and create their own legends. The moment Gege relayed the order, everyone started to organize their own troops.
Amera, Doaf, the crow, and others from higher realms got divided into two main groups led each by Amera and Doaf. As for the mechas, their number was just overwhelming so they got separated into three separate armies.
The ground mage army was divided among the armies present. So each army would have his cannon fodder and enough numbers to contend as much as he liked.
The last army that was really majestic and overbearing was the necromancers. Even when they got separated into three armies, each led by one of the three necromancer masters, the size and strength of each army was overwhelming.
The last force Arthur obtained was the grand dragons. However the three beings decided to leave them behind to protect Arthur. At this moment Arthur was in his most vulnerable state.
He couldn\'t defend himself against any attack. And if things went wrong and he was interrupted, then the losses he would suffer would be much more than endangering his life.
No one could predict what would happen if the connection between Arthur and that pillar got severed. If that resulted in ending this opportunity prematurely, then the loss would be immense and immeasurable.
So the three beings left the grand dragons hovering around the place. As for the flying islands, each army gained part of this big cake. As for almost one third of the islands, they were tasked to remain behind and protect the empire.
Another army was given the order to stay behind, which was the army of Sara, Gena, and the scorpion queen. Despite the last two expressing their unwillingness, Sara convinced them both to remain behind.
After all, if the enemy decided to put on a last show and come for the empire and Arthur, the great dragons wouldn\'t be alone able to defend the two, even with the help of one third of the flying islands.
The size of the empire was rapidly expanding. Just during the past weeks, the building process of new cities made the empire connect to the new lands Arthur claimed.
So that meant during the upcoming weeks, the empire would expand further and that would make such a mighty power weaker without proper defense.
As everything was settled in this way, the different forces of Arthur started to go to their own paths. Gege kept tracking their movements and helped them with her fullest capabilities until they all made it out of the range of the tree of mirror.
During this, the armies fought many battles, and won them all. Despite killing such major forces of the dark side, the enemy still held great power on this planet.
Yet the gains also were immense. The number of newly joined people was now exceeding tens of millions with each passing day. The planet was already huge, and the number of people living here were in tens of billions.
As Gege instructed all the armies before leaving, they had to send everyone back to the border of her ability. There she left many portals open and connected to her garden world.
From there she would transform the main bulk into the growing empire of Arthur. Only those who showed interest in fighting and becoming mages would stay inside the garden world.
As for arranging people after coming out, Gege left this job to Sara and others. Also if any talent was discovered like forging, array formation, or even building, then they would instantly get assigned to their respectable department.
The new coin started to appear in the empire soon after the end of the first war. For the citizens there, it looked like discovering a new way of life, a pleasant and happy one.
It wasn\'t just a coin, or a way to demonstrate economy and wealth; it was also a sign of the advancement of their empire and its growing in strength.
Things started to work orderly like that, while Gege kept relaying reports of the updates to the other two beings.
As for Arthur, even after the passage of three months, he didn\'t show any sign of awakening. The area around which suffered from great battles changed drastically beyond recognition by now.
Big cities were erected, roads were built, and many caravans of merchants were traveling safely between the cities inside the empire all the time.
During the day things wouldn\'t look much different than at night. Thanks to a new invention from the geniuses of the sky castle, there were shining orbs that were hanging tens of meters away from the ground that helped in illuminating everything.
This transformed the entire terrain at night to look more majestic and much more beautiful than during the day. The dense shining orbs on the two sides of any road, plus the lights coming densely from inside any city, left dancing twigs of different lights on the dark sky and gave a deeper feeling of prosperity, security, and strength.
From time to time, one could see one island floating in the air and doing its own patrol around the empire. As the size grew in such an immense way, the system proposed to regulate things and divide the empire into segments, provinces in his own words.
Each province would be ruled by a trusted and capable mage, had its own protective garrison, and above all one floating island to maintain peace and provide more security to the dwellers.
During all these months, things started to grow steadily in the direction of Arthur\'s empire taking full control over this planet.. And that wasn\'t all, the empire really provided new ways to prosperity and peace, giving people ways of living beyond what they even dreamt about.
