Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 757 - Getting Ready To Backstab The Backstabbers!



\'It\'s fun,\' the golden dragon laughed, \'and we only noticed these four cubes that Aemie gave to your two friends before leaving.\'

"When did that happen?" Arthur tried to recall things and events yet he couldn\'t pinpoint when and where this happened.

​​

\'Back when you all met for the first time,\' the golden dragon explained, \'she gave the two these cubes and whispered something while you were busy freaking out about what happened at the gate.\'

Arthur recalled the calm Aemie and her standing there motionless without doing anything major. "So that was the reason… that Aemei… she is really something!"

\'Ding! you need to learn a thing or two from her,\' the system finally spoke, \'Ding! Don\'t just be amazed by her.\'

"Thanks for the advice," Arthur was still furious at all this, "yet next time you should give me a head notice, alright?"

\'In fact this isn\'t the time to speak,\' Gege suddenly said, \'the tree spotted many hidden pockets of those lycans. What happened here seemed to attract their attention and many groups are heading here to check things out.\'

Arthur felt alarmed at once. "When will they arrive?" he asked while moving his head around.

\'In less than half an hour five groups will be here,\' Gege said.

"And for them?" Arthur asked.

\'They might need an hour to finish,\' the golden dragon was the one to answer, \'or might be less than this.\'

"So I need to catch up," Arthur didn\'t hesitate to move.

\'Ding! I don\'t think this is the right move,\' yet the system\'s words managed to stop him in his tracks, \'Ding! You should hide for now.\'

Arthur realized what he meant. "Take out the portal," he said and the next moment a portal appeared before he entered it.

\'I\'ll keep an eye over things outside,\' Gege said.

"Also inform those two about what\'s coming here," Arthur said, "make them be ready for any backstabbing moves."

\'Ding! You can also backstab those lycans,\' the system sinisterly said, \'Ding! Using the mechas at the appropriate time will help.\'

Arthur gave it more thinking before nodding, "it\'s still a risk yet I have to do it. What about the werewolf and the war prisoners from before?"

\'You can use them as well,\' the golden dragon seemed quite excited by the idea of backstabbing the lycans, \'you can use anything you want. But don\'t forget that most of our forces aren\'t here.\'

"I know," Arthur nodded as most of his forces were taken hostage by the grandmaster. Only part of his war prisoners alongside the werewolf and his mechas were spared from this.

He made sure to take all of them back before Aemie sat her gaze upon him. Despite their low numbers he wasn\'t afraid.

After all, his enemies wouldn\'t expect him to appear in such a way or hit them from the back.

Arthur stayed in his garden while Gege worked fast to summon all of his troops.

After all this time the number of mechas manufactured in his garden world grew to a terrifying number of one hundred thousand. He hovered above his grand mecha army while feeling that not much would survive this ordeal.

A necessary sacrifice if his enemies tried to attack Doaf and Amera from their backs. He knew the two could handle this situation, but that would come at a terrible cost.

"They were brave enough to pull such a trick," he said to himself, "and I have to level up the game and play at their levels."

\'It\'s time,\' Gege said, \'they just passed your place and it seemed they were fixed on hitting Doaf and Amera from their backs.\'

"They think the two aren\'t aware of their existence," Arthur nodded in contempt, "how many are there?"

\'So far over twenty groups are heading this way. The first five just passed and more are still coming,\' Gege explained, \'do you want to go out now?\'

Arthur shook his head while saying, "No, let\'s wait until all of them pass my place."

\'That…\' Gege knew what that meant.

"They had to take the first toll of their attack," Arthur knew exactly the risk of such a tactic, "but this way we will be sure not a single fish will escape our net… Alert the two and inform them of the incoming groups."

\'Should I tell them about your plan?\' Gege asked as she felt from Arthur\'s thoughts he wasn\'t supporting this idea.

"They didn\'t tell me theirs," Arthur shrugged, "why should I tell them mine? Let them fester in doubt and fear like I did back then."

No one had another opinion against him. \'That means you need at least half an hour to move,\' Gege said.

"Alright," Arthur turned around and looked for Nara. He found her flying with a group of a thousand mecha in a grand performance, just tens of meters above the heads of the mechas on the ground.

"My lord," the moment Arthur flew near her she stopped, bowing her metallic head in respect.

"At ease," he said, "be ready, in less than half an hour we will move."

"My boys are ready," Nara calmly said. Arthur gave her a deep glance before smiling.

"We came from a distant place," he slowly said.

"I… don\'t understand what my lord means," Nara seemed to be confused by his strange words.

"Just don\'t die here," Arthur patted her big metallic shoulder, "you and I still have a long road ahead of us."

She paused without knowing where this came from. "Don\'t worry lord, we aren\'t that weak to be crushed by a few lycans," she said in a strong tone.

"Just make sure to move fast, kill swiftly before evading any attacks," Arthur stressed, "those foes aren\'t anything like we faced before."

She felt his worry over her. She was conflicted yet she only nodded. Luckily for her the metallic mask she was wearing served a lot in hiding her emotions right now.

As he moved back to the spot he was standing at before, he heard a loud shout coming from down below.

"She seems to turn frustration and depression into useful energy," he smiled in contempt while watching her speaking in a loud tone towards all her mecha army.

\'Up till now I couldn\'t believe you turned such a peace loving girl who didn\'t want anything in the world but to defend her people into such a fierce fighter,\' Gege said in admiration.

"She had it inside her all that time," Arthur slowly said, "it was her who crossed all that distance, and she did it alone."

\'You helped,\' Gege said, \'you can\'t deny such a fact.\'

"I only gave her more options," Arthur shrugged, "but the rest falls only on her shoulders."

He went into silence for a long moment while recalling the giant beauty he left behind as a world will. "Fate acts in strange ways sometimes," he slowly muttered while not knowing what his fate would lead to.
