Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 802 - The Strange Army



Arthur was already on his way back to the city. His mind was busy thinking about the mysterious technique Aemie used at the end.

He was grateful for her to step in and solve this entire disaster like this. He also knew any strong figure would have not only one car up his sleeve but more.

Yet he still felt uneasy towards this. Like he missed something here, something big.

On other hand he knew he couldn\'t simply walk to her and try to ask her about it. He had nothing to force her to speak, not even a good relationship to start with.

\'Ding! There is only one person who can solve this mystery for you,\' the system said and Arthur knew exactly who that person would be.

"He took a long time to arrive already," Arthur complained, "and frankly I dunno when he will come."

\'I believe he is on his way here,\' the golden dragon said, \'anyway let\'s keep an eye on this Aemie… Just to be cautious.\'

"Anything weird she has done so far?" Arthur took a deep breath and asked while flying straight towards the city.

\'Well, she is quite exhausted and has slept almost all the time since she entered my body,\' Gege said, \'but there is something funny she did.\'

"What?" Arthur\'s curiosity was piqued at once.

\'One time she was sleeping before she woke up. Amera was sitting next to her bed like usual. She seemed to mistake her for Nicole as what she did later was hilarious.\'

Arthur couldn\'t help but laugh. "Don\'t tell me she grabbed her to the bed and slept with her."

\'She didn\'t do that,\' Gege laughed, \'yet she started with a long deep and intimate kiss that made Amera frown for a whole minute. Gosh I wish you had seen her face. That was something worthy to see.\'

Arthur laughed before he said, "just keep an eye on her for me. And try to remind me later if anything like this happened."

\'Wanna watch?\' Gege asked in a playful tone.

"Why not?" Arthur laughed and even his system and the golden dragon laughed as well.

Just as they were having their fun moment, Arthur spotted something coming from the direction of the city.

\'Don\'t panic,\' Gege said, \'they are the main army of Aemie.\'

"Hmm… I totally forgot about them to be honest," Arthur said before adding, "bring Aemie here. She is their leader and they won\'t hear anything from an outsider like myself."

\'One second,\' Gege then went into silence for a minute while Arthur didn\'t fly anymore forward. He stopped midair while waiting for that slowly marching army to approach.

\'She is coming,\' Gege said before many portals flashed and many familiar faces came out of it.

"You are really a hard working mage, y\'know that," Aemie said in a refreshing tone despite her face still being ashen white.

"We need to get back to the city," Arthur simply said, "how are you doing now?"

"Still living I guess," she said in a light tone before turning her eyes towards the slowly marching army. "That\'s bizarre. The last order I gave them was to come here in haste. Yet here they are, useless as always."

"They are moving slowly indeed," Amera said, "It\'s weird."

"It\'s easy to solve this," Aemie shrugged before she started to fly alone towards the army, "stay here. I\'ll drag the leaders and question them in my way."

Arthur turned to glance at Amera and other elites around. Their faces showed weird looks at this moment.

"Anything wrong?" Arthur asked.

"Nothing," yet Amera was jolted awake and shrugged, "but she seems a bit rash in deciding that."

"She might be angry with them letting her down," one of the elites said, "in fact I\'m feeling angry towards them."

"They should have arrived earlier," another elite said, "we estimated that they would arrive at the end of the battle. Imagine their presence in these desperate moments… man, whenever I think about this I get mad!"

Arthur silently watched others nod in agreement. In fact he felt the same and also he didn\'t find Aemie\'s actions to be weird at all.

The answer to this puzzle was so easy to guess. There were traitors in the army, especially in the leadership circle.

And the fact that the army kept marching in this snail speed without any hustle proved that all those leading it were traitors; at least at the higher up circle.

"They deserve their fate," Amera slowly said, "yet we should question them all together. Y\'know how she interrogates people."

"Yeah, she won\'t let anything useful after dealing with them," an elite spoke and others nodded in agreement.

Arthur could only take a short breath while imagining how brutal her interrogation must be.

"She will kill them?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Nah, death will be a merciful fate for all of them," Amera shook her head, "she will make them lose their minds and souls. They will end up being empty vessels walking around like dead."

"Damn!" Arthur commented, "That\'s ruthless."

"That\'s the justice any traitor should receive," one of the elites said in defense.

And Arthur could only glance in silence towards them. \'Like a leader are the minions,\' he muttered to himself and kept this opinion solely for himself.

As he had to stay there idle and do nothing, he asked Gege to watch what Aemie was doing out there.

The first thing she did was to appear above her army. Her presence intact and healthy seemed to startle a lot of faces.

And Arthur instantly asked Gege to help Aemie in pointing these faces out for her.

As he expected, Aemie was only interested in the higher up chain of command. Yet she appreciated his gesture and decided to move at those weak minions after she dealt with those leaders.

Then she took the leaders away, miles away from the main army. They were around a hundred and fifty, and she was all alone.
