Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 987 - Planning For The Epic Decisive Battle



Hitting the enemy where it hurt was Arthur's plan. As before, he tasted and knew the value of paralyzing the enemy's connection and communication routes.

Doing so would buy him a lot of time. For instance all the forces scattered inside his empire would be isolated.

They wouldn't be able to even know where Arthur was hitting. They wouldn't be able to adjust their movement and wouldn't be able to support themselves.

Plus he didn't know what the grandmaster of the dark angel clan was able to do. Arthur didn't know if that despicable mage could spy on his empire or not.

So he had to be cautious and not let his enemy have any moment of rest. All the advantages his enemy had would be instantly vanished by this simple move.

But Arthur was quite sure this fight wouldn't end up as easily as anyone would think!

The dark angel grandmaster was a cunning foe. Arthur believed truly in that. Out of all exchanges the two had together so far, Arthur could tell his enemy had many cards up his sleeve.

So Arthur had to work on his cards as well.

"Give orders to all the elite forces from high realms," he suddenly said, "make them stand by and be ready to move through portals when I need them."

'Mechas aren't enough?' Gege was surprised to hear his words.

'Ding! Didn't you say you'll leave the forces up front dormant to fool the enemy?'

"But once I hit that group of islands the enemy will be alerted," Arthur simply said, "so bringing them to the battlefield wouldn't be an issue anymore. Plus I have this gut feeling that I'll need all the possible help in this war."

'Then bring also the skeletons,' the golden dragon said but Arthur hesitated. He thought about bringing them as well. After all, their terrifying numbers and their ability to evolve made them the perfect fodder in such a war.

But something told him they wouldn't make a big difference. There were many, but they are so weak right now. Using them in a high end battle like the one he believed he was going to have was meaningless.

"Only the evolved ones can come," Arthur said.

'Add more,' the golden dragon argued, 'they can be disposed of easily and be replaced! Your treasure isn't in the skeletons, but in the necromancers.'

The words of the golden dragon were wise. Arthur realized he committed a mistake upon his habit. He used to think about his forces as being indispensable, not being able to replace them easily if he lost them.

But he totally forgot that these skeletons were really nothing. Even if he lost all of them, the necromancers he had in the shade would keep summoning more.

"Alright," he finally agreed, "bring all of them. Let's have such an epic fight here."

'Ding! Why do I have a feeling that this would be one of the battles to draw the end of this war?' the system suddenly said.

"I… Also have such a feeling," Arthur nodded, "I think after this battle, that man will leave this world for good."

'He already lost a lot but is still so stubborn in killing you,' the golden dragon laughed before adding, 'let's make him lose more so he will wake up from his dreams.'

"I hope so," Arthur sneered before he focused on flying as fast as he could towards his target.

The flight was easy at first. Arthur simply used his portals to cover a large distance.

But even so there was still a large distance to cover by flying. The islands gathering together were situated really far away from his reach.

His enemy seemed to do his best to keep them well hidden and quite safe. In Gege's estimate, he would need roughly a day and half of constant flying to reach there.

With his high speed, that was a really long time for him. But he didn't waver and kept going ahead, aiming to reach there in the shortest time possible.

Plus taking all this time was helpful to him in another way. His mechas were now getting baptized by the black curtain. Plus he was gaining more curtains with each passing hour.

So all this time wasn't wasted! In fact he hoped he would reach there and have his entire mecha forces evolved.

'How are you going to use the ground troops?' Gege suddenly asked, 'they can't fly!'

"But we can use portals to land them over islands," Arthur said but Gege wasn't convinced yet.

'The islands seem to have their own defensive shields around themselves. How can we solve that?' she said before adding, 'don't forget these shields must be on par with those who surrounded that nasty base from before.'

Arthur knew she was referring to the big battle at the main base of his enemies. But her words didn't discourage him.

"I'll use the originals by then," he simply said without paying any attention towards this point.

'I believe that won't work this time,' but the golden dragon came again with his wisdom, 'that dark angel grandmaster has already seen the way you cracked his shields at that base. It would be foolish thinking he would come here this time without getting prepared for such a move.'

The words of the golden dragon landed upon Arthur and made him frown. The golden dragon's words made sense. "So he has a way to defend against the originals?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.

'Ding! Either defend against them or entrap them, or even worse… Killing them,' the system said, 'Ding! The end is the same to me. He is well prepared and if he removed such weapons from our hands…'

"We will left in the open under the mercy of his islands," Arthur said in gratifying tone before the golden dragon sudden said his idea:

'Why not use another weapon then?'

"What? The octopus monster? Or my gigantic dragon?" Arthur was feeling down at the moment.

'Neither,' but the golden dragon said before adding, 'I meant one of your brilliant assets.. I mean by that Agnus.'
