Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'A new change occurred,' Gege suddenly said after half a day of flying, 'after the disappearance of our forces, the islands seem to gather around the base.'

"Oh, he saw through my intentions," Arthur snorted, "how long will they take to reach there?"

'Two days I suppose.'

"He is quite late to move his forces," Arhur laughed before adding, "we'll keep our current plan. Also keep an eye over these islands and count them for me."

'They are around a hundred islands,' Gege said.

"That's not a big number to worry about," Arthur chuckled. Compared to the ten thousand islands coming towards his empire, facing a hundred was such a breeze for him.

'Ding! Will you try to destroy them all?' the system asked, 'Ding! Ten thousand islands is such a terrifying figure.'

'You can't clash head on with them. Also you can't allow them to gather,' the golden dragon warned.

"You need me to send troops to attack them?" Arthur said before laughing, "c'mon, the enemy is already scattering his forces to try and stop us. He won't be able to do that but if we try to stop him, we'll risk the scattered forces to regroup faster."

'Still facing such a large number is a risk,' the golden dragon said, 'you need to try your best and undermine their forces.'

'Ding! Sending a few troops out there isn't bad,' the system said, 'Ding! After all those high realmers already got a grasp over what they shall do to crush these islands.'

"Don't be this hasty," Arthur calmly said, "my current forces are enough to take down those ten thousand islands even if they came in one big group at me."

He seemed overconfident here. However he wasn't. He knew how strong his current forces were. Coupled with the new gears Agnus created, taking down these forces wouldn't be hard or impossible.

Besides, taking down the main base was the top priority for now. The lack of the brain would render the scattered forces useless.

Plus they would lose one of their biggest weapons, organization and order.

Taking down the generals of any army was the best strategy against large armies. After all, fodders were nothing but weed in Arthur's eyes. No matter how he crushed them, they wouldn't create a difference in the final outcome.

If he wanted to win this way, he had to play directly at the head. The main base was now his sole target, and he wanted to take it down as fast as he could.

Then dealing with the ten thousand islands would become much easier for him and his forces.

This simple point was missed by the three beings in his mind. After all, they were speaking in a statistical way. And he was speaking in a military vision.

As he persisted on his plan, he kept leaping through the portals and covering up large distances before he finally reached his target.

It took slightly longer for him to arrive there from the initial estimate. That was thanks to the reaction of the dark angel grandmaster. The latter ordered the base and the surrounding islands to try and move their location constantly.

They tried to create a distance with Arthur and at the same time getting closer to their allies. However despite all that effort, Arthur managed to reach them in less than six more hours than his initial schedule.

"So these are the islands in the sky… looking good from this close," he stood in the middle of the clouds while watching the group of ten islands protecting one in the middle. They looked really majestic and quite intimidating.

'Shall we attack?' Gege asked with excitement.

"Sure, bring forth the ground forces first," Arthur said before pointing towards the group of islands with his sword, "let's take these shields down before summoning our flying armies."

'On it!' Gege instantly opened many portals on the ground where a flood of forces appeared. They were led by the two Arthur gained from before; Fox and Lara.

The two already gained evolution from the curtains like most of their current troops. The number of the evolved forces in Arthur's armies was gigantic! Just thinking about counting them would create a headache for Gege.

"Let them start the attack at once," Arthur didn't move while watching the big cannon-like gears coming out from many portals.

"Agnus outdone himself this time, hahaha!" Arthur laughed while watching the hundreds of these big cannons coming out from the portals.

Each gear was built over an oval platform made out of purple ore and few other sturdy ones. The body of the cannon was made mostly of a long and cylindrical tube that was aiming towards the sky.

The tube was linked with a series of wheels that controlled its direction. There were wheels on the sides of the platform to make its movement easy.

"I can't wait to see what these gears can do," Arthur's eyes gleamed in bright blue light while watching the big army of these cannons.

However as he was summoning up his forces, the islands high in the clouds seemed to notice this army on the ground.

They started to turn around and head directly towards them.

'They'll use a strange fire pillar attack to crush the forces on the ground,' the golden dragon warned.

'Ding! I believe there is a shield array around the forces down there, right?'

'Yeah, Deem and Gor trained a lot of forces over the arrays,' Gege said in confidence and calmness, 'no harm will happen to our forces.'

"That's good to hear," Arthur nodded while his face showed his excitement. He wanted to see how well his ground armies could do, especially after gaining such boosts from the curtains and from the gears.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

The attack started brutally from the beginning. The two sides didn't wait for any longer before they opened fire against each other.

It was such a spectacular scene! The islands used a strange way to create thick pillars of fire that rained down over the heads of the ground army.

As for the ground army, most of them operated the defensive shields to protect the gigantic gears while others started to operate them.

Each cannon had a small opening in the rear where mages put balls made entirely out of the explosive purple ores. With a complicated mechanism, these balls were ejected with strong force and traveled the distance towards the islands in no time.

Then they detonated over the protective shields of the islands, creating a storm of deadly and ferocious purple fire that ate away the shields.

The two sides competed against who would consume the other's shields first.. Whoever would do that would win this beginning battle of this epic war.
