Chapter 570 - Intel About The World
Arthur didn't hesitate to agree on Amelia's request. After all he had all the connections with the city world severed for now and those portals scattered around the garden world became invalid.
No more wars were there and the duties of the warriors inside were now shifted to be mainly for this world.
Arthur then entrusted the mission of taking out everyone to Gege while he stayed with Deem and waited for him to finish drawing the maps of the three cities.
"This…"
The moment Arthur saw what Deem drew he was speechless.
"This is the best design for the three mountains," Deem proudly said.
"Don't you think you slightly overdid it?" Arthur glanced at him deeply while Deem shook his head, "from what I know we are going to stay here for a long time, right?"
"Sigh, but this…"
Arthur pointed towards the drawing which included three distant mountain peaks as angle heads of a gigantic triangular formation of a vast single city. "I thought we are going to build three not four."
"Technically it's only one," Deem pointed towards the triangular city before adding, "however if you mean the phases of building it… then yeah we are going to build four cities to be merged together and form a mighty huge one."
"This… sigh, you are far crazier than me," Arthur bitterly laughed before adding, "alright, I just hope this won't take much longer than two weeks."
"T… Two weeks?" Deem had his turn to be speechless, "I thought you meant the three angles."
"No I want the entire city or four cities to be completed within that time," he patted his shoulders before adding, "don't belittle Agnus and his team. These men are… freaks."
Arthur's expectations were met during the next few hours. Agnus had already gathered up an army of blacksmiths and other craftsmen and started making huge machines to excavate earth and rocks in a strong and efficient manner.
"See?" Arthur stopped in front of a huge spear machine which used gigantic spear made entirely of sturdy ore to hit the mountain and penetrate it.
The machine was helped by another which helped to set fire on the mountain rocks and melt them slightly to facilitate the work of the spear machines.
"Yeah, you were right as always my lord," Deem stood there shocked by the efficiency of Agnus' creations.
The mountain was excavated in depth reaching half mile in less than ten hours. For Deem this was some kind of a miracle. "If this could work on the ground, then we can finish laying out the foundations in less than five days."
"Here?" Arthur glanced at him before giving the solemn looking Ron behind a silent glance.
"Everywhere," Deem was ecstatic, "if he can increase the number of these machines then we can extend the work to cover the entire grand city. But there is one issue…"
"The population," Arthur nodded before adding, "don't worry, I've already scattered my girls and now I'll go as well."
He patted the shoulder of Deem one last time before moving towards Ron.
"Don't give me that look," Arthur said while taking a deep breath.
"This crime…" Ron paused as his entire body vibrated.
"We were weak," Arthur moved to stand close to him. He looked directly in Ron's eyes before adding, "and we are still weak."
"So we will let them move away with this crime without proper response?"
"No," Arthur firmly answered, "I've already killed many of them, and I won't stop until I kill all of them," he then turned around as he added, "and this… this isn't for the academy, this is for me, for the clan, for all those who died so their death won't be in vain."
Ron glanced longly at Arthur while his face showed how much disturbed he was. since he knew about what happened to the clan and this was the face he held and never changed it.
Arthur sighed. He tried many times to relieve his oldest friend's pain without any success. "One day you'll understand what I'm doing," he said while turning to a dragon next, "I'll leave here under your care."
Ron didn't respond while watching him flying away from the place and leaving behind the clouds.
"One day you'll have to explain everything to me… proclaimed young master," Ron clenched his fists hard before turning around and started to help others in ruling over everyone here.
Arthur didn't care much about Ron's feelings as he had more stressing issues to handle right now.
According to Deem's diagrams, the current number of workers weren't nearly close to half what was needed to finish the building process, or at least the foundation phase of it.
The machines Agnus made required strong mages and warriors to operate them. Normal villagers couldn't be of much help here. The newly joined villagers from this world had base strength higher than his own villagers.
He left Amelia and others to debrief them for the entire day before they provided him with basic intel regarding this world.
And this place where he appeared wasn't only in the weakest academy ever in the world, but also lying in a small oval area in the center of four strong academies and ten big clans.
And the bad news was that these clans and academies were all belonging to the dark side.
"It's amazing how the Locek academy and its dean found such a dark world to utilize in their test," he muttered to himself before heading towards the direction provided by these villagers.
"According to them this place held a huge amount of villagers," he muttered while he already wrote instructions for the three girls using bird's wings to warn them from the current status of this region of the world.
"The best approach is to maintain calm until we build the big city, then I can start my open wars without any problems."
He intended to use the same method in defending the city… his pillars supporting the walls.
He kept flying towards his direction for two days. During which he saw some small villages and towns scattered all around the place but he didn't care to descend and annex them.
"I'll get them while retreating," he thought to himself while he finally spotted the large constellation of towns and villages which reminded him of a scene he saw before.
"I hope these villagers weren't lying," he muttered, "scan the area and tell me if there are any hostiles here."
According to the intel, this world was considered a mid world between the low planes and higher ones. Mages and warriors came to this world if they had enough power to rise, but didn't have backing.
"It's a fortune for me to know about the condition of rising up early," he muttered these words when he first heard about the status of this world.
So basically the inhabitants of this world were all strong, not yet enough to endanger him but at least they had enough strength to crush his other forces.
"I have to use this place and form my strong army then," he saw this as not a challenge but an opportunity.. After all he was still bound to the lower realms he came from and using such strong armies from here would definitely help to secure his overall plan.
