Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 1007 – Fierce Fights

With the passage of time, Arthur got himself detached from the world around. The energy coming from the green fire was intoxicating for him. He felt himself getting stronger in a pace he never imagined before.

Even when Gege was reporting the updates of the fight, he didn't hear her. Even when the enemy tried to strike back more than once, and she asked for his guidance, she only got silence in return.

Despite all that, Gege with the help of the system and the golden dragon managed to control the course of the ongoing battles and emerge victorious each time.

The islands weren't just the main issue. After all they got the way to crack and control them. But just as they were doing that, the forces of Arthur were faced with two new challenges.

First their capacity to handle islands was growing with each victory. But at some point the amount of islands coming was much more than their capacity.

They couldn't attack and dominate islands without getting cross fire. In addition to that, more and more islands started to adopt the attitude of self destruction instead of letting the islands fall in the hands of Arthur's forces.

The self destruction came as an unpleasant surprise. It didn't only make them lose islands at a fast pace, but it was also devastating to the troops around. 

After all, for Arthur's forces to dominate an island, they had to board it and surround the island from all sides. And this created a problem that Gege wanted Arthur to solve.

But as Arthur was deeply immersed in his experience, she had to listen to the advice of the system and golden dragon. So an elite force was selected for each island and Gege played the role of the grand commander here.

Anytime she sensed the tribulations and changes before the self destruction, thanks to the help and guidance of the system and golden dragon here, she would take away the forces using her portals.

That helped a lot in reducing their losses. However it made the quest of conquering islands slower.

Plus it made the forces wary of what would happen if the islands went berserk and started to self detonate. It took roughly a couple of days and endless attempts to make the forces regain their former morale.

The high realmers played a great role in that. After all their strength wasn't comparable with anyone from Arthur's main planet or the forces he gathered from this world.

The second challenge came in the shape of a new attack coming from the enemy. This one wasn't new as it came by the mixture of the ground troops and flying monsters.

But the timing of these attacks was the problem here. There seemed to be a general, a smart leader supervising over these moves.

The enemies interfered only when the forces of Arthur tried to take an island. And with time everyone realized that they were only attacking the islands that were going to self detonate.

That meant these forces weren't here to kill, but to delay the strategic retreat of Arthur's forces. Plus they didn't appear from the start. They appeared just after the forces regained their morale and Gege started to organize things.

At first the losses returned to be high until the golden dragon asked her to bring forth all the mecha legions and scatter them in an arc.

With the help of the system, the guidance of the golden dragon's vast war experience, and the portals of Gege, the arc made out of mechas managed to stop most of the attacks.

However that resulted in branching the battle into two battlefields, both were important and needed a lot of troops.

At this point Gege missed Arthur and his brilliant ideas. He was always acting out of concept, coming up with solutions that seemed ridiculous at first, but brilliant when executed.

No matter how hard she tried to call out for him, Arthur didn't respond. He already lost any contact with the outside world. 

The golden dragon asked for the dragons here to be dispatched. After all they grew stronger and became fierce enough to make a difference at the ongoing battle.

The enemies once faced with the strong fist of the mecha's arch, they started to show annoying development. Grandmasters and mages of higher realms began to appear frequently.

If not for the timely interventions of Amera, Doaf, and other higher realmers leaders, with the help of Gege's portals, the losses in the mecha forces would be beyond retribution.

But this led to slowing the pace of taking more islands, and increasing the rate of the self detonating islands.

Gege wanted to use the originals in this fight. At first the originals worked brilliantly and made an obvious impact on the two battlefields. But just in less than a few hours, holes opened above the head of any original and the wrath from the world's wills of the high realms began to shower them.

Gege was the key player in defending the originals before, with the help of Arthur. But now her efforts were divided along a large stretch of land, serving many fights already ongoing everywhere.

She couldn't manage to save a lot of originals, and from that point onwards she didn't bring them again.

The last solution the system provided brought finally control over the ongoing fights. The necromancers were summoned.

All this time the necromancers got full support from Arthur and his forces. Not only in the form of providing rich dead energies for them to summon their skeletons, or vast battlefields for their skeletons to evolve; but also each one of the three got a black curtain as well.

Not only them, but any outstanding skeleton got the chance to gain an immense boost in strength as well using the curtains. That made the current skeleton army fiercer than ever.

But they were already fighting far away from here. Despite calling off all the forces, Arthur saw that leaving the necromancers alone was the best course of action.

The more they fought, the stronger they became.. But at this point the three beings in Arthur's mind didn't have any other way but to summon them.
