Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

He was on a very great place as a start, as a river ran a mile away from his place, and a large forest loomed in sight.

"Listen up," he suddenly spoke, addressing his mages, "this competition's main objective is to build a place for the mages of the academy to live in. I'm pretty sure others will focus on building a village, using the small amount of time provided to us."

He paused, and Ouly asked with doubt:

"Isn't this what we should build?"

"No, we will aim bigger," Arthur replied, before adding, "we already have large experience at building camps, and what we lack is people to build the buildings for us."

His words were strange, as they all exchanged silent glances, before Amelia asked:

"Can you bring others from the outside world?"

"Nah," he shook his head, "why look away when we already have people here?" he added, while hinting towards his idea. "Lily, you take five mages with you and scout the whole region. I want you to draw a map of this place, anyone here proficient in drawing?" he started relaying his orders, without wasting time in explaining things they would all experience soon.

"I can draw maps very well," Ouly lifted his hand, and also Clovert as well. "Great, you two will go with them, the sun is already rising, which means we have the whole day to do so. I want you to notice any gathering of monsters, and more importantly any gathering of people. Now go!"

He then left Lily, Ouly, and Clovert to select two more mages to join them, while he turned to look at Randy, Gregory, Ron, and Tarry as he said:

"You four take twenty mages with you. Your mission is to be our guarding garrison, venture deeply into the forest, the mountains, and out there at this grassy lands, and find anything that might threaten us. If you can handle it, then neutralize the threat, if not, retreat and report to me."

They nodded, as they left to gather their men. "As for all of the rest, we will divide ourselves into two teams, one to bring down these trees, and the other is to build a huge camp."

"How much size will our camp be?" Omar casually asked, while Arthur waved both of his hands as he said:

"The back will be these mountains, and the front will be this forest. As for the sides, we will go to the end of our sight, as long as there is grass and flat land, we will add them to our territory."

His words startled everyone, literally everyone, as all glanced skeptically at him, while he just shrugged his shoulders as he ordered:

"Just move out, and don't think and just do what I just said! We have no time to waste in the daze here!!"

Their bodies jolted as they all hurriedly went to do what he ordered them to. Arthur stood silent, before he summoned his two horned rhinoceros. As he did so, he suddenly had a strange feeling, and the next moment he summoned the spider queen as well.

"Oh, I can now summon two monsters at the same time!" he marveled this, as he glanced at the two while giving orders to them.

"You will go there to this forest and destroy any tree you see. As for you, go inside the forest, and kill all the monsters you see. Move parallel to here, and don't touch humans, no matter what!"

The queen seemed pissed off with him, before she moved towards the forest starting her play. She missed the times where she went freely everywhere, killing whatever she liked, and played to her heart content.

However, she also knew the massive gains she got so far from Arthur. She wasn't stupid to not realize she was already with such a promising star, someone that wouldn't stand low for long, and she would benefit much from this.

As he unleashed the queen, he felt a little relieved. He also had another card, that sleepy dragon inside his heavenly garden. He didn't check on him since leaving the lake of the fallen, and now wasn't the time to do so.

He had a very hard task right now, how to plan his city!

He didn't aim to build a mere village or a town, he decided to build a real city! To do so, he needed massive hands, and he wasn't fool to imagine the inhabitants of this world would just agree to help him colonize here.

He planned to use force to make them obey his command, and if possible he would also add them to his own strength, making them swear allegiance to him as their leader.

Arthur stood here, glancing everywhere around him in silence, while every single mage of his were busy with their tasks.

He had many visions in his mind regarding his city, and he knew if he managed to do so, the competition wasn't something to worry about. He also believed if he did so, his status inside the academy would soar, as the knowledge of this branch of civilization seemed to be lost in this world.

The first thing he thought of was the centre of his city, and it wasn't so hard to determine that, as he went ahead towards the river, knowing this would be the most logical centre of the city.

Just as he went there, he heard some ruckus coming from the forest. "So the monsters here are really aggressive," he simply muttered, shaking his head, as he knew his queen wouldn't let a single monster here without toying with him.

As he went along the course of this twisted river, he selected a place where the river branched another one, heading towards the right direction, ending far in the horizon. As for the main branch, it went ahead into the mountains, passing through them, and vanishing there.

Just an hour passed, and a first wing's bird came from Randy's team.
