Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"So they are trying to stop my tracks?" Arthur stood outside the building that turned into a portal before, glancing at the area around.

Sounds of many people roaming the area were delivered to his ears the moment he stepped out. 'Dig around and find what is going on,' he said to his system.

'Ding! There is an army searching the place, not too big actually and they didn't have any monsters,' the system said before adding, 'they seem to look for you.'

'Good,' he smiled, 'time to stretch out some muscles.'

He turned to glance over those who came with him. "Stay here and don't move," then he turned into a dragon before flying off the ground.

The moment he appeared with his big body, he attracted the attention of everyone here. Their numbers weren't great to begin with, roughly a couple of thousands, ten at most.

He felt no hostility from them, yet they looked quite organized and well trained. They had good armors and weapons, making him sure they weren't just nobody.

"Roar!" he roared, warning them before taking a full round over their heads.

And the next thing they did was to kneel! All of them knelt on the ground expressing their loyalty to him.

"So you are coming here to join me," he smiled while his words were translated into roars.

He descended onto the ground, cancelling his transformation yet keeping his energy channeled. This type of army seemed strong, and he didn't know their true intentions yet.

"Master," they all shouted in unison, while a big man moved from the lines, with two others behind him with bodies not inferior to his.

"Welcome back master, we were looking and waiting for you," he said before leading the two to kneel on the ground while presenting his sword on the front hand before adding, "your subordinate, Jack, is expressing his willingness to follow master."

Arthur examined him, feeling nothing wrong coming from this man. "Who are you?"

"We are the black clovert group, a resisting group formed by the real people of this world. We lived by the code of the honor and carried our weapons all this time to defend our people against those brutals," he said before pausing. "We heard legends about masters, and when we came to this famous place we found things different."

He then pointed his finger to the mountains without even raising his head. "Those you saved spoke stories about your kindness and might. It's an honor to follow such a master, me and my men present our blades and lives for you and for our people."

Arthur felt admiration for this man and his small group. "Is there any other?" he said.

"There are some scattered groups around the world, yet we are the closest to master. I'm sure everyone will be very happy to follow the master if the chance is ripe and circumstances are suitable."

"Good," Arthur said, "raise your heads, it's not yours that shall bow to me," he added while saying, "welcome to my empire."

"Thanks master," Jack said before adding, "as we came here, we met many along the road. They are trying to come to master's city, yet they were all stopped by the dark Trifle clan."

"Trifle clan?"

"It's the big clan controlling these lands," Jack explained, "if master has any use for us, then I propose to go and assault them."

Arthur didn't have any objection to this, as this matched his plans. "How many are their numbers?" he said.

"Too much actually," Jack said, "but they are scattered over a large stretch of land. If we moved fast, we might be able to hunt many of them."

"Are they slaves or descendants of the main clan?"

"Descendants master."

Jack thought for a moment before saying, "alright, gather up your men and hit the road. Leave a group of five hundred behind to escort those refugees back to the city."

He then moved towards the building again while Jack watched his back with admiration. "You listen to the master boys, let's show him how mighty we are!"

Arthur heard them and smiled.

"Be ready, you will take some people and couple hundreds of warriors with you to the city," he said before adding, "use your flying pets to reach the city fast, but leave a couple behind to lead others."

"Are you going to stay behind?" Amelia asked, "what about the portal?"

'System,' Arthur didn't answer her directly as he asked his system, and the next moment a fog of darkness appeared from his body taking the form of a dragon next to him.

When the fog dissipated, a dragon exactly the same as him appeared. He felt some sort of connection with the dragon. "Master," and the dragon roared to others, yet he perfectly understood him.

"Go with them, and make a portal at the city when you reach there," Arthur arranged things before adding, "station yourself there and wait for any instructions."

"Your wishes are my orders, master."

"Good," Arthur nodded before looking at the others, "don't delay much there. We have at most three days. Be sure to be ready to move the moment I tell you," he said before adding, "the portal will lead you to my star map. Wait there for me to return. Anything happens you know how to inform me about."

He then turned into a dragon, rose high in the air before moving behind the small army that sat first.

He didn't lack warriors, yet he lacked capable ones. This group was a nice addition for him, and he sat his gaze already for other groups out there.

As he reached the army, he cancelled his transformation before saying:

"I will move faster than you, so come here," he muttered before the system used the technique and many portals appeared out of nowhere. "Go inside, join other warriors of mine and arrange them. Each one of you will lead an army each."

His words seemed mysterious to them, yet they nodded and said nothing. As they all entered the portals, they vanished and the place seemed quite empty.

"I'm sure you will be surprised by the size of my armies," he laughed before turning into a dragon; soaring through the sky again.
