Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"Sure, there are three large towns in the radius of one thousand miles around us. However, all three of them belonged already to large clans, and there is a large army stationed at each one of them, making anyone dreaming of conquering these towns lose any hope to do so."

He tried to make Arthur let down this idea, however he failed miserably at that. He didn't know Arthur yet, however everyone else around him just shook their heads, knowing what their crazy clan head would say next.

"Clovert, take Ouly and geunin with you. I want you to go to these towns, draw the maps to them, and try to scout about their preparations. Don't put yourselves at risk, but try to do this as fast as you can."

The eyes of Geunin widened, and before he could open his mouth and say anything, Clovert patted on his shoulders, saying in a consoling tone:

"Come, our clan head always felt excited when he heard the word hard or impossible."

Geunin moved with him and Ouly, with extreme astonishment on his face. Such a pure reaction made everyone laugh, while Arthur just smiled.

"Are these used in fighting?" Madly jumped towards the crossbow, marveling at its huge body, while Lily also followed suit, as she was much interested in this gian bow.

"Sure, this one here would send large sized arrows to great distances, while this one here would throw ores to great distance, causing much damage to large areas."

Arthur tried to explain what he understood from the scrolls related to these two items. The others also were astonished, and showed much interest in both of them, while Arthur waited until they all regained their composure, as he added:

"We will try to gather skilled workers to make more of these. Also we will introduce our own signature explosive arrows and ores into the two, making their devastation climb up to another level."

Their eyes shone brightly as they already were quite familiar with what he was speaking about. "As for using them to the best, we need to make larger and broader towers, so expand half of the towers around the walls, make them able to hold a group of these.

Also I want you to double the breadth of the walls and the gates, so they could also carry a bunch of these army killers."

Arthur's words were noted, and met with extreme excitement. "Sigh, it's a regret already to build all this city and leave it later for the academy," Omar sighed, and his words were met with a wave of nodding and shaking heads from everyone.

"Don't worry, who said we would lose this?" Arthur mysteriously replied, and then he added without saying more in response to their questioning eyes, "Now go and work hard, we have no time to waste daydreaming here like this. Go now, and if you needed something, come to look for me."

He then sent them back to work, while he started to take a stroll over the great works done here by his workers. The villagers' faces showed extreme anger, and that was quite understandable.

After all, what they lived their entire life afraid of turned to become a dark scheme of great clans in their world, making them extremely angry and very enraged.

They used the work in hand to vent out some of their welled up rage. Arthur didn't find anything wrong with that, after all the speed of the work here was already exceeding the schedule he had in mind, even the day of not working due to the monster tide was already compensated.

After taking a tour around the places, he then went towards the forest. The devastation of the monster tide was apparent there more than anywhere else, where many trees fell, and large portions of the forest disappeared like deep scattered scars.

He sighed, as he knew how mad the monsters might be when being enticed by something. He noticed many workers and mages working hard to collect these trees, and starting to make them ready for further use.

He knew everything was going according to the plan, but he wanted to speed up things already. At least the wall section should be finished in the fastest time possible, and he needed to expand his armies, arm his soldiers with gears, and make the defenses of the town ready to welcome any invading army of any caliber.

The solution for all that would be these towns and villages scattered nearby him.

Just as he was thinking that, a series of mighty roars erupted, as the ground shook and the water of the calm river got disturbed. These sudden changes had already attracted the attention of everyone, but Arthur was the only one to know what was going on already.

"What a luck!" he just muttered this, before he went towards Amelia as he said:

"The area is secure, you can now use the monsters to fly. Send the convoys out, and send Clovert and others as well."

Amelia was considered his right hand, not only for her strength, but also for her trusted opinions and performance. "What about these roars just now?" she asked, with much doubt.

"Don't worry yourself with them, everything is under my control."

Arthur's vague response made Amelia realize that he didn't only stop the scheme done by the great clans here, but he also did something else. She just smiled, before nodding and went to do her tasks without asking for anything.

She knew sooner or later, what he was planning secretly will be revealed.

As for Arthur, he stood in his place watching her back, before sighing. She was really a rare type of beauty, but currently he had no mind to appreciate her.

The roars that just happened was accompanied by the sensation of many monsters linking themselves to him.

Twelve monsters, that was the final number of survivors inside the valley. Their roars announced their birth, however they needed to sleep so they could finish their final step of evolution.
