YM778.TV Chapter 189 - Are You With Me Or Against Me? Choose!
"There is a large group of people living in the grasslands on the right, and they spotted us, preparing already for an attack. Their numbers are in thousands, and they look strong."
Arthur just read it, and the next moment he unsummoned his queen, then summoned her again, while writing a bird\'s wing back to Randy, asking him to retreat, come back, and head to the opposite direction, checking the other side of the grassy lands.
He also wrote another one to Amelia, telling her about these news, and asking them to be ready for any sudden attack.
"Let\'s go, we have a huge army to kill."
He simply said this to the queen, as he jumped over her back, and let her run fast towards the distant horizon to the east. He let her run along the course of the river, knowing that these people must have built their home on the side of it.
On the way, he met Randy and the others, nodded to them, and said nothing while he went alone to the distance. The team just glanced at each other in hesitation, as Arthur was planning to attack these people alone!
"Just keep going on your ways, I\'m more than enough to stop them," he sent this simple phrase to them, and unwillingly they kept going on their road.
After five minutes, Arthur spotted a simple village, the size of a huge town, stretching for miles in each direction, lined by simple wooden walls, and was full of houses that resemble primitive hatches!
"So, the civilization here is so simple, what about their powers?"
He muttered to himself, while the enemy army appeared in large numbers already, marching outside their walls.
From the general shape of it, the all had armors, wielding swords and spears, raising flags, making him realize they weren\'t this retarded in terms of fighting and organization!
They were a large army composed of two thousand fighters at least! That gave him an estimated number of this village, as its people might reach ten thousand, or even more.
"Listen up, I want you to play to your heart content, but try not to kill many of them, ok?" he said to his queen, as he feared she might go on berserk, killing a great number of them already.
In Arthur\'s eyes, this magnificent army was already his! He admired their craftsmanship, and desperately wanted to put his hands on all of them!
The moment he went so close to their frontlines, the shouts came from their ranks, and suddenly a rain of arrows descended upon him and the queen.
"Do you magic, and let\'s evade this attack!"
The queen didn\'t need his words, as her two tails started to attack, releasing poisoned attacks towards the arrows, clearing the part falling on their bodies. They escaped without a scratch this volley, while another one simply appeared, this time coming horizontally towards them!
Arthur knew that these arrows couldn\'t be avoided by the huge body of his queen, so he improvised. He jumped off her back, unsummoned her to disappear in the next moment, and just as he bypassed all the arrows, he resummoned her again, to fall gracefully on her back, and she continued her charge like nothing happened!
This swift move of his made his enemies gasp in shock, however they hurriedly adapted, and the front line moved their shields, to welcome his crazy charge against them.
In their eyes, he was suicidal, coming alone to attack them, however the next minutes proved how wrong they were, underestimating his strength, and overestimating theirs.
The scorpion heeded Arthur\'s words, as she used her huge sturdy body to move everywhere, hitting every soldier of them and making them all wounded.
However, not many died actually, except those unlucky ones who got smashed under her feet.
Arthur stood over the back of her, observing the whole battle. After a few minutes, he already understood how these soldiers fought, as their weapons always flashed with bright light before attacking, and a slight shadow presented itself behind their backs.
So, they were mages, and strangely they all used their strength through their swords. After the passage of half an hour, more than half of them were now wounded, and one tenth died, while others realized how foolish they were to think they could fight such monsters head on!
"Surrender, and I won\'t harm anyone of you anymore!" when Arthur noticed their change in mood, he didn\'t let this chance go, and shouted with his declaration suddenly to them.
"Lies! Everyone of you, outsiders, come here and promise us peace and prosperity, instead all we get is death!" one man suddenly appeared in front of Arthur, riding a monster that was half the size of his queen.
"I\'m not like them, I\'m here to build, not to kill and destroy," Arthur said, stressing over his words, before he pointed towards all the soldiers on the ground, as he added, "if I wanted death, then I wouldn\'t have restrained my hands from killing them."
His words fell and all the soldiers here got a scare! They thought Arthur was fighting them with all his powers, but he was already keeping his hands off them! what if he used his full strength?!
"What guarantee that you would keep your word?" that man said, as he pointed to the distance, far opposite to his village as he added, "we might be weak, and we already know that, but we have our brothers in this world, much stronger than us, so nearby with a huge army already. Why should we surrender to you then?"
The words of this man startled Arthur, as the direction the man pointed to wasn\'t the open horizon full of grass, but the five mountains where he didn\'t send anyone yet to scout.
"That\'s not good!" Arthur just muttered, before he changed his mind. "I don\'t have time for this hustle, you are either with me or against me, choose!"
