Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 995 – The Solution Isn’t Enough

Arthur went outside with another spirit than the one he left with. He looked at the floating islands at the distance with gleaming eyes of confidence.

"So this is how you played it… Interesting," Arthur couldn't contain his excitement and laughed. His laughs turned into mighty roars which attracted the attention of everyone in the battlefield.

He was about to make his move now, but he didn't need to do it himself.

"Gege… Provide purple ores with everyone entering those damn islands," he said in a vicious tone, "make them throw the ores all over the place. Let the entire islands soak with these ores."

'Throwing the ores around alone won't help!' the golden dragon objected, 'what's your plan exactly?'

"The black curtains," Arthur snorted, "I'll use those big curtains to unleash hell there. But first we need to scatter ores around or else the fire would affect us as well."

'Ding! Why not surround our ground troops with these ores?' the system suggested.

"Good point, let's do it as well," Arthur agreed while Gege started to relay his orders.

Things started to look more intense the moment Arthur's troops started showing the purple ore. In Arthur's eyes, the world inside the island got stirred up like a massive battle of energy erupted the moment the purple ores appeared.

The ores released their innate purple energy that seemed to trigger something inside these islands. The most brutal clashes occurred at the main base where Arthur could see the tongues of energy rising up high in the sky.

The energy clashing with the purple energy was strangely dark red in color, resembling the energy he fought against inside that previous trial of his.

That made him realize that his trial wasn't that simple at all. More secrets veiled everything here, and the more he knew the more puzzled he became.

"Keep throwing ores there," he said, "all troops should carry as much as they can. Also pour out tons of ores from the portals when the shields are down."

As these invisible clashes to all but him erupted, the ores kept getting ruined fast. It seemed like the land of the islands were eating away these ores.

But this didn't come without a price to pay. Under his observation, Arthur noticed that the toxin affecting his troops got extremely thin after using the purple ores.

And the more ores were poured in there, the thinner the fog became.

That gave his forces the chance to kill more mages inside the islands, throw more ores there to buy themselves more time.

As things turned out this way, the morale of his troops skyrocketed and they started to fight in a more brutal way.

Until a new change occurred.

'There is something happening over the islands,' Gege said, 'some sort of portal is opening over each island.'

"He is using that old plan of his then," Arthur turned his head to see the sky. There he could spot whirlpools of black energy appearing over each island.

Like a storm coming, things didn't look well in his eyes. But he didn't look startled or surprised. After all, he expected his enemy to use that useless way to attack his troops.

"Make sure to use your portals to shield the troops," Arthur said, "those bitches of the world's wills are coming."

'But the scale… It's so big to cover with my portals alone!' Gege said and she had all the right to worry. After all, the size of these portals weren't like anything else they fought against before.

"Just focus on the originals and most of the troops as you can," Arthur wasn't worried like her, "even if he killed everything there, we'll send much more in the next waves. These islands are mine! And he won't be able to change that."

Arthur's determination calmed down the worried Gege. she complied and didn't object anymore. 

As Arthur expected, the portals appeared before they rained down thick attacks of natural disasters.

Fire, snow, lightning, and even solid big rocks like mountains; everything was thrown over the heads of his troops.

But at the same time these attacks also took away a large number of the enemy troops. It was a mutual exchange of damage where Arthur held the upper hand here.

No matter how many troops he lost, he could easily replace them with a snap of his fingers. Unlike his enemy, whose troops were limited.

"Keep protecting the troops," Arthur said before adding, "and add more ores as well."

'There is something wrong here,' Gege suddenly said, 'they aren't attacking the forces, they are targeting the ores!'

"Oh," Arthur's eyes gleamed when he heard that with realization. "So he is trying to kill the ores? Hahaha, then leave as many portals as you can to pour out more ores there."

'On it,' Gege started to work as hard as she could. However with time Arthur realized how much he greatly underestimated his enemies.

Their attacks were really explosive enough to wipe out no matter how much ores he threw there.

"This won't do," Arthur knew if he continued this way, then even his great stock of ores wouldn't be enough in the end. After all, he wasn't just thinking about these islands. He eyed the large number of islands waiting for him after this battle.

If he couldn't reach a balance and find a better way to consume these islands, he wouldn't win this war.

'Why not try to detonate the curtains now?' the golden dragon asked, 'like send in troops with ores then instantly detonate the curtains.'

'Ding! This will wipe away many of our troops but it might help in taking down the islands,' the system agreed.

"Let's try it then," Arthur didn't object as he wanted to try the curtains and see their effects. "Send the next waves with one big curtain for each island. Make them hit the curtains with anything to trigger their explosion."

'Ok,' Gege wanted to express her disagreement, but she didn't. After all, she read Arthur's mind and knew how complicated their situation was.

They were having a way to crush the islands, but at the same time they couldn't crush all the islands using this way alone.
