Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 666 - A Sudden Army Approaches



"Wrong choice mate," Arthur sneered as he simply passed unhindered through the portals which vanished to continue appearing in front of that mage.

"Damn you!" the young mage cursed in extreme rage, "go away you losers."

He didn't realize they were brought by Arthur and that made the latter laugh.

'Ding! It would have been great if he was in a monster form right now,' the system said, 'Ding! This way your laughs would work on him.'

"One way or another he will fall in my hands," Arthur was confident in his win and the lousy decisions of that mage made him more confident in that.

"Stay the hell away!" the mage shouted before turning to the side, taking a longer curve to avoid the cluster of portals Gege summoned.

'Oh my gosh… I love this game,' and Gege was already having fun here, 'can we let him run and I can play this game with him for a longer time? Please!'

"No," Arthur didn't lean in front of her pleading, "I can't risk this."

'Then can I play with him inside my body?' she changed her request, 'he won't be able to run away inside and I can have all the fun I need. He is really amusing.'

"Sigh, fine," Arthur couldn't help but agree, "but we need to first catch him."

'Alright, watch this then,' she laughed while the next moment a large group of portals appeared all of sudden to block all the paths in front of the young mage except for a few.

Gege arranged the portals in the shape of honeycomb, and that left some spaces here and there.

"Screw you," the youth shouted before passing horizontally from one space at the last second, "humph, you can't catch me."

'Oh my gosh he can be more amusing than before,' yet Gege laughed as she was very amused by what happened just now.

"Gege…" Arthur's tone changed to be so serious, "finish this silly game now."

'Why?' Gege was still immersed in her laugh.

"There is a large army coming towards here to help him escape," Arthur pointed towards a distant direction where a large dot of blackness was getting rapidly near here.

'Damn them! Do they want to take my toy away?' Gege instantly was enraged and the next moment she started to deploy a very dense net of portals.

And the young mage who was drunk with his last useless achievement was shocked beyond belief when he saw that. The next instant he ended up passing through one of them.

'Mission accomplished,' Gege proudly said, 'the toy was secured and now confined for further games in the future.'

"…"

'...'

Arthur was speechless from her attitude, yet he wasn't free to reprimand her. "Deliver the message now, let everyone retreat inside the shield," he turned around and didn't delay in ordering his system to spread the news.

And his system was aware of the danger approaching that he hurriedly delivered the message first then said:

'Ding! They are from the higher realms!'

"I know," Arthur turned to see their fast speed, "they are travelling faster than me… I doubt they are even flying at speeds comparable to Amera."

'Won't we fight them?' Gege was in another world of her own right now, 'they look fun.'

"…"

'…'

Arthur kept speeding up back towards the settlement. He knew the walls there were sturdy and coupled with the shield no one would be able to stop them.

But when he got near there, he spotted a problem.

"They are trying to delay our retreat?" he was surprised to see the army that was already on the back foot, trying to escape with all means was now turning around and engaging fiercely with the combined armies of him and the settlement.

'Ding! We have no choice but to ditch part of the army behind to secure our retreat,' the system said before hurriedly adding, 'Ding! And this should be done now!'

"Sigh, spread the news then," Arthur said before thinking about something.

'I'll see if they are ready,' Gege finally returned to herself and as she read his mind she took the initiative to go and check things inside the garden.

"I hope not too many of them are lost here," he stopped on top of the masses fighting underneath before opening his mouth, "at least this is all I can do to help."

The next moment he started to spray his fire breath trying to create a long line behind his retreating army and separating them from the hot pursuing enemies.

His last minute act helped a little in reducing the losses here, but it wasn't enough to change the tide in the vast battlefield.

'Ding! They are here,' the system suddenly warned, 'Ding! Retreat now!'

"What are you still doing here?" Just before the system could finish his warning, Amera suddenly appeared next to him, "Retreat now! Hurry!!"

He turned to spot a large army formed of monsters and mages wearing black cloaks coming fast towards here. They were less than a couple of miles away, a distance that was so easily crossed in less than a minute.

He glanced below to see a lot of his army still unable to retreat. They were heavily entangled with the enemies who were now acting like hungry wolves, or resentful monsters.

"Sigh, I did what I could," he only muttered before turning around and entering the shield.

Then he watched around ten thousand of his best men and the allied forces of this settlement being slaughtered by the combined forces of the enemy.

"We managed to save most of our forces," Doaf noticed his dejected look so he had to say, "at least our losses aren't that bad, not like them."

"…" Arthur didn't speak while clenched his fists and kept watching. It was a very bitter feeling to stand there without anything in hand to do.

And the men slaughtered here were one of his elites, the ones he spent many battles and long times nourishing.

"Who is the leader of this damned place?"
