Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 662 - Bad News And Worse News



Arthur jumped from one place to another guided with the help of the world's will. He kept appearing everywhere and anywhere he went he did the same as before.

He first used the tree to spread the news locally before getting to know who was in charge in each settlement and then took out his own workers.

This seemed amazing at first, smoothly done within a couple of hours. But later he was faced with a problem.

'Ding! There are not enough workers inside to come out,' the system said just after Arthur finished taking his workers to a big settlement and was about to head to the next location.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Arthur stopped in tracks, "how come there is not enough inside? I saw a grand army of workers before starting!"

He was surprised to hear that yet the system could only sigh in response.

'Ding! You distributed twenty-five groups so far. This is already a big number.'

"But…"

'Ding! The number of workers Deem brought is really big, but it's limited.'

Arthur understood his meaning yet he wasn't that acceptable to this situation. "We are just starting and I can't wait for the cities to be built to move on. My enemies will surely get wind of what's happening here and crushing this small number of cities isn't a big deal for them."

'Ding! What do you want to do then?'

Arthur paused for a couple of minutes while he was considering his options. "Let the tree connect to Deem and the main leaders of these twenty-five group."

'Ding! And?'

"Let them leave only a small group of workers to supervise over the building process," he said, "the others shall retreat into the garden world and be ready to be deployed once more."

'Ding! But this would make the building process quite longer!'

"No other option then," Arthur took a deep breath, "Do it now. I'll get to the next spot and it's better to have them in the garden by then."

'Ding! Can't you wait for a couple hours? At least for Deem and others to settle things!'

"I can wait," Arthur said, "but my enemies won't. make them leave their trusted personnel and let the rest retreat. We need to expand many folds than this meager number to make our enemies paralyzed."

'…'

"Just go, we have little time to spare here."

Arthur started to fly high up again while thinking of this dilemma. "I never thought of this… damn! I should think of a way to solve this in the long run."

It didn't take long for him to reach the next location. "Are they ready yet?"

'Ding! Give them ten minutes and they'll be.'

"Can you ask the tree something for me?" he suddenly said while landing peacefully on the ground.

'Ding! Why am I so worried?'

"Hahaha, it's a simple favor if she can do it then our problems will be solved."

'Ding! Alright, spill it out and I'll deliver the message.'

"I want Deem to use her as a control center," he said, "to supervise all the workers in all the cities we are building."

'Ding! Sounds like a nice idea,' the system said, 'Ding! But dunno if she can do it… let me ask her first.'

"I hope she agrees."

Arthur waited in his place while the system went to discuss the tree. "Ten minutes then I can go and resume my plan," he muttered while knowing this was like a temporary remedy for the main problem.

"If she agrees then I can go full out without any problems," he took a deep breath and decided to fly in the air and breathe the fresh air.

And yet…

"What the hell is that?"

As he rose high in the air he was met by a large black dot appearing on the horizon. It was small, yet he was sure it was getting slowly and steadily bigger. "Is it… an army?" he narrowed his eyes while thinking of this option.

"What is an army doing here? Is it a coincidence?" he muttered but he couldn't tell until he got engaged with them.

"I can't risk using my technique now," he sighed, "Gege is still sleeping and my technique can hold for no more than one hour and half. I should call them then…"

He didn't hurry to move and scout these invaders as this might alert them. He preferred to take them off swiftly and nicely without any troubles.

'Ding! She says she can do it but with the help of Gege,' the system came back after a couple of minutes.

"Can you scan that incoming army?" Arthur didn't feel rejoiced about this answer and didn't even consider it for now. He had far stressing issues to handle at the moment.

'Ding! This…' the system was surprised for a moment, 'Ding! They are an army of more than two hundred thousand mages.'

"Are they coming because of my plan?" That was what Arthur cared about for now.

'Ding! This… how can I even tell?!!'

"Alright," Arthur shook his head, "Have Doaf and others come in?"

'Ding! They have been sending their men for hours now.'

"What about the three of them?"

'Ding! Still outside in your city.'

"Notify the army then," Arthur didn't think he would need their help for this, "and ask the tree about the origin of that army."

He wanted to gain more intel about this army as this didn't seem like a small army coming to just subdue a settlement. "I'm sure a big clan lies nearby," he muttered and if there was a big clan nearby he might refrain from interfering here.

After all this would be a huge alarming signal for all his enemies if he crushed that army here.

'Ding! I have bad news and worse news, which one do you want to hear first?'

"No good news?" Arthur was speechless for a second.

'Ding! The bad news can be considered good news then,' the system joked with him.
