Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 687 - Fighting A Thousand Monster Alone

'The chasing army is now five hours away from you,' Gege said, 'they got united with the elite groups sent by the main army before leaving the ground army behind and now are after us.'

"And the ground army?"

'They are now returning to the main army, as both are heading towards the sect.'

"Hmm… so these cannonfodders will act as a diversion then," Arthur muttered.

'Ding! We should alarm those in the sect,' the system said, 'Ding! I believe the flying army won't move to attack until the ground army first starts its assault.'

'I'll notify them,' Gege said, 'but can't we do anything to deal with those flying bastards?'

"How far are they from the sect?" Arthur didn't express his thoughts right away.

'They are less than six hours from the sect,' she said before pausing, 'I don't know how long we will take here to save Doaf, but it's safer if we sent a detachment to delay them… or at least gather more intel.'

'Ding! I think this will be a good move. At least we won't be left like this in the dark.'

"You know whoever we'll send might not return, right?" Arthur said before warning, "and if they didn't return, we won't know anything."

'I can let them be in contact with the tree,' Gege suggested, 'even if they lost their lives at least we'll get this intel.'

'Ding! But whom shall we send?'

"Those mechas of course," Arthur didn't hesitate to say, "they have higher chances in staying alive after all."

'There are some already being made in my body,' Gege said, 'should I send them off?'

"Send them," Arthur said before stressing, "but make the tree be in constant contact with them."

'How many?'

"Send… a hundred."

'Alright, I believe with their fast speed they can reach there in less than six hours.'

'Ding! You are wrong,' the system suddenly said, 'Ding! Their target is also marching with their top speed towards the sect. they will be able to reach them in three… no, might be two hours.'

"That's correct," Arthur agreed on the system point of view, "how long do we still have to reach Doaf's location?"

'I would say two hours at most,' Gege said after momentarily pausing as she returned to the tree to get the answer.

"Barely in time," Arthur muttered, "and the sect? Are the defensive preparations ready yet?"

'They are trying their best,' Gege said, 'the sect seemed to have a complicated defensive mechanism… something that requires most of the disciples to activate or else it would take longer time.'

"That means we can activate this defensive measure just before the attack, right?"

'Let's hope so,' she sighed, 'after all we only saved thirty percent of those mages.'

"Don't worry, I believe we can make it," Arthur believed in this, "let's just hope our enemy didn't have any dirty moves in the dark."

'Another trick?' Gege was surprised, 'weren't they confident in their toxic gas move?'

'Ding! They are cunning enemies,' the system said, 'Ding! I would vouch for the presence of at least another big move in there.'

'That…' she stopped in hesitation before asking, 'should I ask those recovered to check their sect?'

"That would be wise," Arthur said, "but make sure they would always be accompanied by a large number of our men."

'What for?'

"Who knows who was the traitor who started all that," Arthur took a deep breath, "we should just be ready for the worse."

'Alright, I'll deliver the word then,' she said before adding, 'and I've selected a hundred mechas and sent them off. I'll keep you updated with their moves.'

"Good," Arthur nodded before the system suddenly said:

'Ding! There are many enemies coming fast from the front!'

"Enemies?" Arthur was surprised to hear that, "how many?"

'The tree… can't see anything,' Gege was the first to speak.

'Ding! There are at least a thousand,' the system said, 'Ding! Ten miles from the front, and they are travelling fast!'

"Gege," Arthur only said this while activating his technique the next moment.

'I know, leave this to me,' she ruthlessly said in a tone that was filled with anger.

After all, every time the tree was tricked she took this personally.

In less than a minute Arthur spotted those hostile forces as dark dots at the horizon. "They are fast," he couldn't help but say while clenching on his sword, "this will be very hard to deal with."

'I won't let them come near you without killing most of them,' Gege promised and Arthur knew she would use the same trick once again.

"Be aware that they might be ready for that move," he warned, "be sure to adapt."

'I'm ready for that as well,' she simply said while the distance between the two sides was getting shorter with each passing second.

"Kill him!"

"Don't let him escape!"

"He is just one dragonair! Use your monster form now!"

Many shouts came from the front while those giant mages suddenly turned to form many monsters of different shapes and sizes.

And they all had the same intimidating aura like Doaf, Amera, and the crow and their men.

"Let's see who will kill whom first," yet Arthur sneered as he didn't even wait for them to arrive at him and used his fire breath.

He released fire balls all over the enemies drawing near him. The fire moved fast and hit many while more evaded the fire with swift moves.

Yet before they could celebrate evading his attack, portals suddenly popped up all over the place.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Watch out!"

"It's those nasty dragons!"

"Evade, evade them!"

"Regroup! Don't let them hunt us one by one!"

As Arthur and the system feared, they were alarmed by this move. Despite that Gege was very talented in manipulating her portals and selected the hardest places to avoid and let the portals open there.

Many appeared in the blind spots of those monsters and the next moment each portal gave birth to a mecah or one of the forces of Amera and the crow.

And whomever was targeted by them was instantly hit, deeply injured or even killed.

"Regroup!" one shouted after another yet Arthur didn't let them have their time to do that.

He kept firing his fire balls to stop anyone from gathering up with others. Despite his efforts, many managed to group together and that decreased their toll of death.

"Keep hitting them," Arthur shouted while moving directly towards this group of hundred monsters while throwing off his balls of fire, "don't let them catch their breaths."

Gege didn't need him to say that as she kept making the portals appear and disappear like they were dancing around this group. The monsters kept falling in layers like an onion being peeled off one layer at a time.

And then Arthur arrived.
