Chapter 316 - The City Is Under Attack!
Arthur glanced at the world down below and had some understanding. "I will visit you soon, you bastard," he laughed mockingly on the promising words of the framed clan head.
His laughs went to others like mighty roars, giving much scare to many monsters down below. "Don\'t worry, we will handle it from here," Tina said, and this time she wasn\'t translating Arthur\'s roars, but expressing her own words.
"I will leave you two here," he said before turning to glance at the distance, towards the direction of his city. "There is some place I need to go to now."
"What if something went wrong?" Sara hurried to ask.
"Stop it, nothing is going wrong, we are here!" Tina proudly said with no concern about the fighting here.
"If you wanted anything, just let Lily use the flying birds and I will answer your calls."
"From your far distance?" Sara asked again.
"…"
He didn\'t say any more words, as he silently gazed at her before glancing at the portal down below then went forward with his top speed.
"Is he going to be alright?" Lily asked, with much worry in her tone. "There is a huge hideous flying monster standing behind all these attacks," she added, before hurrying to say, "I should alarm him."
"Don\'t bother, he already knows his enemy very well," Sara said, stopping her from wasting one bird\'s wing.
"Listen to my orders, go beyond the walls and start killing!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Her boys were so energetic that even their cheers reached the ears of the distant Arthur, making him shake his head helplessly with a faint smile over his dragon face.
"Now, won\'t you be polite and come to greet papa?" he smirked, as he knew these attacks weren\'t random. A hideous monster must be leading them.
He knew why Olor didn\'t alarm him about this, as he didn\'t know about these attacks. They came from a totally different enemy and direction.
Arthur kept flying directly towards the direction of the city. the places he passed upon were filled with a huge influx of monsters; yet he resisted the urge to go and attack them.
"They must have come from pocket worlds, or portals," he muttered while deciding to give his troops this slight hand.
He kept flying for an hour before the influx of monsters suddenly stopped. He didn\'t see anything resembling that red pillar of the portal, so that meant these portals were hidden. "More probably they are pocket worlds," he said to himself before taking a detour, heading slightly closer to the tops of trees until he reached the places where these monsters started appearing out of thin air.
"One, two,… five, six,… twenty one, twenty two,… forty nine, and fifty. Fifty whole worlds are connected to here, sigh," he shook his head as this number really exceeded his expectations.
"Ding! You can just link them to your garden."
"And risk getting foreigners inside? Their numbers are great, but not too much. I\'m sure Tina and Sara would be enough to handle these."
"Ding! Are you worried about your city?"
"If their leader isn\'t here, then he is there eyeing my city. Let\'s face it, this place is important, yet my city is the base of everything. Demolishing it will get me more losses than this mine."
"Ding! You have a point here."
Arthur then returned to fly higher, moving as fast as he could with a troubled mind. He left the place for too long, and so he wasn\'t sure of his city\'s ability to handle things there.
The flight from here to his city wouldn\'t take more than six to eight hours. He didn\'t meet anything unusual during this flight, until he finally exited the forest, and then he was met with a very great and terrifying scene.
He missed the city by tens of miles, yet when he exited the forest he could see the huge walls of the city being on the near line of sight. The walls there were really majestic, reaching more than one hundred meters in height, with a broad surface enabling even too many siege weapons to be stationed there easily.
The faint shape of catapults being launched all the time, throwing fiery ores that exploded once reached the ground was a common scene to be found on the surface of the walls.
As for the ballistae, he couldn\'t see them yet their arrows were easily distinguished with their big shape and huge explosive damage.
Higher rounded towers were stationed on regular intervals, adding more power and fire to the defensive task here.
Everything seemed quite nice and neat, yet even with the huge defensive shield covering the entire city the situation there wasn\'t that hopeful.
"Giant siege towers and trabechaults! Not only monsters but a grand foot army of warriors! This man is really fixed on destroying me!"
Arthur was astonished to see the large number of war machines his enemy had. The endless lines of warriors stretched around the walls of his city were really majestic. Plus the existence of a ground and flying mix of mage and dark warrior monsters; making this battle more hard than it should be.
"I have to go and see where the weak spots are," he muttered, before heading to the sky with no care to anyone here.
"Is there anyone here branded with a slave mark?" he asked, as if so he would be able to free them, and create some chaos.
"Ding! Not a single one of them carried the mark. They are all dark warriors of the dark clan."
"And they seemed quite fixated on destroying my small city, sigh!"
"Ding! You framed their leader and doomed their clan with death."
"I know, but can\'t they deal with their dark friends, not me? they should face problems with them, not hurrying to risk losing most of their strength like idiots like this."
"Ding! I think this is the only way to salvage their lives."
Arthur understood the meaning of the system, and he just sighed helplessly while saying:
"There is another way around."
"Ding! They seem not to like working for you."
"They are dark guys, should be pleased with a bone and a life. what is there to complain about? Tsk."
His mood was now bad, and at this moment many enemies and allies noticed his presence.
One loud cheer came from inside the city, while a long mighty roar came from the monsters.
"They like me, see?"
"Ding! Ding!"
"Hahaha, yeah they like me, hahaha!"
