Chapter 256 - Summoning Scorpion Queen Again
Arthur didn\'t fully understand the concept she was speaking about, but as long as she could take the castle away, then he wouldn\'t mind the means.
"Let\'s ignore these warriors here and go to the other side," he said, as this pocket world was considered now his own. Wasting time on these warriors and mages wouldn\'t help.
The two nodded as they followed his lead heading directly towards the portal. the portal seal was now broken, and this was due to the imbalance caused by the destruction of all other twelve nodes by Arthur and his two companions.
They passed without anyone to stop them, as everyone was already busy maintaining the shields up and defending against the crazy monsters. The moment Arthur passed the portal he was met with a surprise he didn\'t expect.
"Oh, so you are really in collaboration with the dark clans here," he laughed and his laughs appeared as mighty terrifying roars.
The portal led to an open space of land, void of any tree or green, to let these warriors and mages build their facility here. In front of him lay a huge town, apparently hastily built as the walls and towers looked quite rudimentary in comparison to what he saw before.
As for the inside of the town, it was full of one story high wooden shacks, making him feel this was closer to being a military camp rather than a normal town.
However in the centre there were many traditional town buildings, towering to five and seven stories in height, making him quite sure they contained all the war provisions, weapons and tools.
The portal was away from this large town by a couple of miles, however the distance was filled with a large number of warriors. Amidst them, Arthur manages to spot familiar faces of the great clan teams who entered the contest with him.
There were many teams already here, and that made him surprised at first, then quite pleased; he could now kill those enemies and traitors at the same time, reducing the size of competition.
"Do you know them?" Tina asked as she watched many mages turning into monsters –ground monsters.
"They came in with me, and it seems they have some relation with the dark clans here."
"Do you want to avoid killing them?" Sara asked, as despite her anger for people supporting those dark invaders to her world, she didn\'t want to make Arthur angry as well.
"Nah, I want them all to die. Let\'s play as usual, and leave only those surrendering warriors alive. If those mages surrendered, kill them nonetheless."
His words were orders for the two, and these orders just came to satisfy their needs. As there were so many, numbering in hundreds of thousands, and there was a huge town behind, Arthur decided to take his queen out to play.
"Finally! I thought you totally forgot about me!"
The moment she appeared, she killed some mages and warriors first as she complained loudly to him.
"Your strength is lacking, but here you can have some fun."
"Kill without restraints? Torture without limits?"
"Do as you please."
"Hehehe."
She was like a lionese let loose over zebras; attacked here and there, threw poison darts using her two huge tails, and even smashing monster shifters and warriors underneath her huge body.
She simply was like a walking killing machine!
"Who is she? She seems quite barbaric!" Sara remarked as she was using air attacks to kill everywhere.
"She is a pet of mine," Arthur simply replied, as his hands were tied, fighting with many warriors defending the main gate and walls of the town.
However, in front of his eroding terrifying fire nothing could last forever!
He could simply fly over the walls and attack the main camp, however he knew that over ninety percent of those hundreds of thousands here were already forced to be here; enslaved.
And so, with his ability to free them, they weren\'t enemies in his eyes. Instead, they were a very fat tasty piece of cake that he wanted to eat.
"Focus on the leaders of this huge army, and don\'t prevent anyone from entering the portal," Arthur shouted from the top of the crushed walls and gate to his followers. He wanted to crush the leaders fast, as this would make the rest surrender, and he would win it big this time, as usual.
"I can\'t get satisfied with the population and warriors, sigh!" he sighed as he felt some sense of guilt to be greedy, however in the next moment he shook this feeling as he rose to the sky again and took a large tour around the place.
Away from the central buildings, everywhere was filled with normal freaked out warriors. He ignored them as he trusted the three out there to be enough to kill the outer leaders and terrorize the helpless warriors.
As for the real leaders, those high up in ranks and leading everyone, he would take the responsibility to face them head on.
And as he approached the sky of this central cluster of tall buildings, the retaliation of those in the ground began!
"Swoosh!"
Long strong looking arrows were launched from huge ballistae on the ground and on top of these buildings. Their numbers were large and they appeared so sudden, trying to surprise him.
However he already had these ballistae and knew how difficult it was to face their darts head on; so the moment he spotted them he started to evade!
The easiest thing to do was to fold his wings, downward his head to head like a rock towards the ground. Just doing this made him avoid most of these arrows, while some started hitting his strong body and thick scales.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Wow, they learnt how to make explosive arrowheads, and it seems to be much more advanced than my primitive approach," he marveled the arrows hitting his body and exploding, despite feeling unsightly from each hit, but he wasn\'t quite injured so far.
