Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Back at the camp, the group didn't summon their pets, except for Birdy, as Lily was doing her usual recon surveillance on the area. As for others, they were busy cooking a huge pile of monsters without pause.

"May I ask, why are these monsters docile and friendly to you?" Randy asked, pointing to the pets that were roaming the place.

"Hahaha," Arthur laughed shortly, before he replied, "I know you have many questions in your mind, but as you can see our hands are tight now. I just want to ask you this simple question now, will you join me and follow my orders and lead as your leader?"

Arthur knew he was rushing things here, but he had no time to waste. The absence of Omar and Amelia wasn't simple, and if they didn't return now, the monsters would swarm this camp shortly.

Randy was surprised by Arthur's direct question, as he thought he would stay here for a while, speaking with him about the marvels he was doing here first, then asking him to join later. Just as he was hesitant, Omar just looked at him in a meaningful way, a look that made him realize something.

Amelia, that fierce tigress, the one who never swore allegiance to anyone her entire life, was now standing behind this youth, pledging her unending loyalty to him. even Omar, the one with the mighty swords mages was also following this man. He didn't need a brain smart enough to reach an answer.

"Sure, I will follow you from this day onward," he replied, while bowing his head slightly. His sudden approval was a surprise to his group, who just stood hesitant for a brief moment, before deciding to trust the instincts and decisions of their leader.

They all bowed their heads, and by this they officially joined Arthur's group, snowballing it to folds greater than its initial size. Arthur looked in great content to this group, while marveling at the great future waiting for him.

"Good, Omar and Amelia, you two return to the battlefield. As for you, follow me," Arthur said, as he turned directly and headed towards a place in this camp, empty from anything there, enough for him to start the pet contracting process to at least tem mages at the same time.

Randy looked towards Omar, who winked to him while muttering:

"Go and get your own pet monster."

He then followed Amelia back to the battle, which was getting worse after their absence. As for Lily, she followed Arthur with Birdy, as she asked:

"Big brother, do you want me to return now?"

Arthur shook his head, as he said:

"I will finish their pet process first, then I will go down and collect monsters. You will take me towards the garden, then send me back again."

Lily was like a little kid, enjoying every single moment of this new life of hers. As long as what she was asked to do related to her adorable pet, she had no reason to refuse.

So, she walked, or literally jumped each step with her pet doing the same as her. Arthur just glanced weirdly to the two of them, not knowing the pets could be affected mentally by the master.

Once there, he took out the tools, the wooden cart with everything on it, and then started to work. He still had enough rhinoceros inside his ring. After seeing these monsters in action, he became more content with their performance, and decided to make everyone have one, unless he found a much better substitute.

"Stand inside each ring please," he drew dozen rings on the ground, using the blood of that scorpion. Randy led the others, as they stood inside the ring, before Arthur told them how to activate the contract, then everything went smoothly like before.

After this patch, he started to prepare again, then he finished after two more patches. Thirty mages with thirty rhinoceros were now present, and Arthur wasn't polite as he sent them towards the ongoing battlefield.

Amelia was the acting leader here, as she started to instruct them about what to do and how to fight. The first they did was to summon their pets, and once did they all exclaimed in surprise, as they started to observe these huge, strong monsters, standing docile in front of them, in wait for their orders.

That was fascinating!

Randy and his mages joined the fray, and their addition relieved a lot of pressure over others. Arthur then did a second round to fill the already exhausted explosive rocks stock at the camp, then he waved his hand towards Clovert, who was deeply immersed in using his bow and killing whatever monster he targeted.

"Come down here, Clovert!"

Arthur shouted at him, startling him from his deep state of mind, before he saw the newly joined group. He was supposed to act as their scout, but he liked being their executioner better.

"Here, these rocks will be used like before, with this fire pit, but it is carefully on Birdy's back," Arthur said, as he took out a huge pile of explosive rocks, and a small fire pit that was cornered into a sturdy trunk of a tree he took from here. the trees here had a better quality than any other tree he saw before, so they could resist, to some degree the fire in the fire pits he just summoned.

"Whoah, wouldn't that hurt Birdy? Burn his beautiful feathers?"

Lily hurriedly to stand in front Arthur, refusing to let him advance, stretching her arms to the side to make him stop.

"No, don't worry, this is safe," Arthur said, in a small lie, "if you smelled any danger, then you can just throw the pit off," he added, as he pushed her to the side, gently, while finishing the preparations.

Clovert arrived at this moment, and a distant memory of what Arthur did when he first met him came freshly to his mind. He waited until Arthur made sure the fire pit was secured on the back of Birdy, and then he did the same with Clovert's pet.

"Now, let's go, and make sure you clear the bottom of the mountain," Arthur said, as he rode behind the annoyed Lily, feared for her precious pet. Arthur decided he must look for another way to preserve fire, as this way of aerial fight was something amazing.
