Chapter 937 - Special Dark Forces Arrive!
The arrows landed over the entire grand forte before they were all stopped by a sturdy shield.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The entire world shook and a series of bright lights came forth to blind everyone nearby. However Arthur didn\'t stop there.
He simply knew there would be such a defensive shield over that base. He simply wouldn\'t hesitate to delve forward and become the sole and deadly tip of the spear.
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
Just as he came near the shield, his blue white energy started to purify the intense dark energy around the forte. Things seemed to go hectic all over the place, with sounds of explosions that made everyone fear to even take a single step forward.
In the middle of all this brutal fighting, no one could survive. As such the grand forces of the enemy stopped just inside the shield.
As for the ones who seemed to be brave and foolish enough to step outside the protection of the shield, they were simply exterminated.
Each arrow of extermination was enough to cause a deadly devastation in a radius of hundreds of meters.
Compared to the initial effects of these arrows at the lower realms, this was simply nothing. However with the large number of such arrows, the destruction was on a scale of wiping out anything and anyone standing in the range of these arrows deadly reach.
If not for the shield, then an endless number of the mages and monsters on the other side would have been killed by now.
And that was what Arthur wanted. However this shield seemed to be really hard to crack open in a short time.
"Bring forth the octopus," Arthur decided to speed up things here and act seriously to break open this shield.
And with the arrival of the octopus monster, the world seemed to witness another brutal force coming from it.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Alongside the arrows and the blue white pillar of energy around Arthur, the new addition of this monster made the shield crack.
Long and deep cracks appeared and started to spread all over the giant shield before those inside hurriedly acted to amend it.
And from his position, Arthur spotted many grandmaster level mages and most of the elites to vanish from his sight.
"So they are trying to strengthen the shield?" Arthur sneered before he rubbed his hands before adding, "bring all my dragons out!"
He was deadly fixated on cracking open this shield now. As for the mages and monsters inside, they started to bring forth war weapons that looked like trouble.
There were many ballistae, trabechaults, and even some weird shaped towers that were pushed over giant wheels.
And they all gave Arthur a bad and dangerous vibe.
"Let\'s see if I will need to use them or not," Arthur was having some fun while dealing against such a threat.
In fact he didn\'t have any speck of worry or fear. He still held back his strongest weapon and didn\'t show it up yet.
Arthur would refuse to use his newly birthed originals at other battlefields, but here…. He wouldn\'t hesitate to summon them if needed.
After all, if he managed to take this base off his enemy\'s hands, then he would end up dealing a big blow to all of the enemy\'s plans.
This wasn\'t a simple forte, it was like the general headquarter of all the operations in the eastern part of the world.
So seizing this place would result in securing a grand stretch of land and endless resources for Arthur and his growing empire.
Victory here meant he took a real step closer to achieving his grand goal.
"Roar!"
"Boom!"
"Sizzle!"
Amidst all his thoughts, the intense fight kept ragin wild at all places. The surface of the shield showed signs of strengthening for long minutes before it started to show cracks once again.
And that meant Arthur\'s forces were really winning this indirect clash with the top leaders of the enemy base.
But as Arthur was counting minutes for the shield to get blasted, the grand portal inside the forte suddenly flashed in bright red light.
Large number of forces gushed out from it like they were just hastily summoned to join here. From the dark energy around them, Arthur was sure they were much different than any forces stationed here.
"Bringing forth the elites of the big dark clans? Hahaha, what\'s the next move then? Bringing up their masters and grandmasters?" Arthur couldn\'t help but laugh while the shield started to heal at a fast pace.
It was obvious that these newly summoned forces were able to support the shield. And that wasn\'t all, as a large portion of them started to fly fast towards the shield.
Arthur knew what they were planning to do. He knew his arrows might pose a threat against those weak dark clansmen, or those coming from this mid realm.
But against such elites of the best dark clans, his arrows would be nothing more than mosquito bites.
And if that happens, then these forces will start causing trouble around his tightly packed forces. His assault over the shield would be weakened, meaning more dark forces would be freed to rejoin the fight.
It was like a cascade of bad news to Arthur, and all started by the arrival of those special forces here.
"If you brought forth your special boys," but instead of panicking, Arthur only showed a wide smile of confidence over his face, "then I won\'t be blamed for bringing forth my special boy, right?"
Just as he said that, a portal appeared next to him. At first, this portal was like all portals summoned before. However as the portal appeared, it started to enlarge at a strange pace.
It was like some sort of giant was trying to push his way out of the portal. This scene even surprised Arthur who knew even taking out the octopus monster would require the portals to expand to such a degree.
The portal stretched to cover an entire mile and it didn\'t show any sign of stopping. Just by this, all the newly arrived forces stopped moving while feeling a real threat coming from this portal.
Arthur laughed when he saw this. He couldn\'t believe that by just expanding the portal and releasing part of the terrifying aura of the original, the special dark forces would feel this threatened.
But he didn\'t mind that! After all, any more minutes was a good thing for him. The fight over the shield was so intense and rapidly shifting from one side to another.
Arthur didn\'t hope to crack the shield using these forces now. He knew the current fighting force he had wouldn\'t be able to crush those supporting the shield.
He just wanted another goal, to exhaust them. He wanted these dark forces supporting the shield to be left worn out before his original boy would come and crack open this shield for him.
After all, even if he took down this shield, his enemy would easily summon many more. But if he managed to exhaust the men supporting the shield, he would make the enemy entrapped in his own scheme.
Besides he knew his original boy could easily burn away any shield summoned by his enemy. So when the enemy would realize how futile it was to keep summoning these shields, Arthur\'s forces wouldn\'t be faced with relaxed forces.
Arthur wasn\'t fighting on a single front, he was using multi-layered tactics against the dark angel mage. It was thanks to this legendary enemy and such epic battles and impossible challenges to awaken Arthur\'s real potential.
After all one hero needed a grand villain to polish his soul and show up his real worth.
Arthur waited patiently while his portal kept expanding. For the entire five minutes the portal stopped at a couple of miles radius while releasing frightening aura all around.
And during these minutes, Arthur made sure his forces kept exhausting the enemies and making sure they wouldn\'t have a single moment of rest.
As for the special dark forces, they couldn\'t dare to take a step outside the shield without seeing the face of the incoming enemy first.
It was their survival instinct that told them to wait. Each one felt like death was drawing its claws over his soul if he dared to get past the shield.
And that shield kept holding up despite all the attacks landing on it like Arthur thought.
"Damn them… They assembled the weapons fast!"
Just as Arthur was holding his original boy back, the new war weapons were assembled and a lot of counter attacks landed towards his forces.
"Tsk… Bring him out then," Arthur couldn\'t help but shake off his head before he pointed his hand to the front, "let\'s go together and take down this useless shell."
"Roar!" and the next moment, a giant appeared with purple fire dancing all over his body before roaring in a mighty way.
And all the sounds in the world went absent for a long and intimidating minute!
