Chapter 668 - The Problem Of Resources For Mechas
"Bring them on," Arthur moved fast, getting outside the protection of the shield, "it's time to take revenge over my dead army."
He was still bitter at the loss he suffered minutes ago. The mages he lost were elites and took him a lot of time and effort to raise properly up to this point.
'I'll summon them now,' Gege then started to show hundreds of portals all over the place before huge metallic dragons appeared all of sudden.
"We are under your service my lord," Nara said in a loud shout the moment everyone assembled.
"Go there and help the others," he hurriedly pointed to the massive fight ongoing above the clouds right now. "Also there is a berserker that might be interested in testing you out. Just tell him you fight for me to avoid his annoyance."
"At your command," Nara led her army and moved in a grand move towards the clouds.
Then more loud bangs erupted from there while the sudden addition of his mechas created enough chaos among the enemy lines.
"Now it's time to take my revenge," Arthur didn't plan to join the brutal fight up above. His only aim was to crush the large ground army into shreds and take revenge for his army.
And the next moment he started to fly over their heads and spray his deadly corrosive fire over them.
"Advance!"
Just as ten minutes passed, the army stationed inside the shield started to move out. "Let's kill them… follow the lead of our mighty lord."
Shouts started to come from several places while a large number of mages poured out the shield in swift manner. Arthur was excited to see that and now he was more confident in defeating this army and annihilating his enemies.
His elites were fighting up the clouds alongside the berserker while he was fighting down on the ground with the army of mages aiding him.
Winning this fight wasn't a surprise at all, however that berserker seemed to be enraged by the scheme Arthur planned for him.
"I can't believe how one of my brothers fell for your dirty plays!" After the fight ended and only a few scattered forces remained, he moved towards Arthur and stood tens of meters away.
"Saying it this way makes me look bad," Arthur smiled and his smile seemed to irritate the berserker even more.
"I still can't believe it," the berserker shouted in anger.
"C'mon, you helped a friend of your brother… you should give yourself credit here."
Arthur's words made the berserker stand his place motionless for a long minute and Arthur just stared back and said nothing.
"We killed everyone," Doaf suddenly came with Amera and the crow, "what should we do now?"
"Station yourself here," Arthur simply said as if the berserker wasn't here in the first place, "from this moment on this will be your future base of operation."
"Roger that," Amera said before adding, "what about the locals?"
"I'll take Deem out now to arrange the transformation of this place into a mighty stronghold," Arthur said before adding, "also select whoever can fight properly or help in the defenses of the forts here to aid you from now on. The rest will come with me."
"Are you planning to leave the mechas here with us?" the crow asked while Nara approached with her army of mechas. They suffered losses in this fight.
However, considering the enemies they slain, losing a couple of hundred was just a breeze.
"Who are they?" the berserker suddenly asked, "they are… dragons?"
"They are mechas," Arthur said, "one of my elite warriors."
"Is it a species or what?" The berserker seemed interested in the mechas and Arthur only smiled.
"I can't share this with you," he simply said, "I only share my secrets with friends."
"Not even brothers of your friends?"
"That doesn't make you my friend either," Arthur shrugged, "either be my friend and I'll warmly answer whatever question you have or I can't say anything."
The berserker seemed quite annoyed by this answer, and he wasn't welcoming the idea of befriending Arthur. "Alright, I'll leave now," he said before giving Nara's dragon a long glance and then moved fast and vanished from sight.
"He didn't leave," Doaf whispered, "once the interest of a berserker is piqued, he can't leave without satisfying his curiosity."
"I entirely depend on that," Arthur laughed, "and hopefully his sturdy skull won't be that resistant to befriending me."
"It's remarkable though," Amera suddenly said, "you know how to deal well with those war maniacs."
"Because I'm a warlord myself," Arthur laughed, "now go and control this place at once. We have a lot of things to do."
"And armies to kill," Amera said with a chuckle.
"And clans to invade," the crow added.
"And academy to ruin," and finally Doaf left his mark before the three moved towards the settlement and started talking to those leading it.
"Bring Deem and his men out," Arthur simply said before turning to Nara, "you'll station yourselves here, but if I need your help anytime I'll summon you."
"We'll keep defending the place then," Nara understood his meaning before leading her army towards the settlement.
"Two days…" he muttered, "only two days and we got this number, what if I waited for a month?"
'Ding! The issue will be the resources,' the system suddenly said.
'Yeah, even inside my vast body they needed a lot of rare resources that I can't supply for too long.'
"Resources… hmm…" Arthur turned around and glanced at the world, "why not start using this world then? It's the highest world I currently have and we can find many of these rare resources or even better."
'We don't have a map for the resources of this world,' Gege sighed, 'I already tried to ask the tree to do it for me and she couldn't.'
"What about her?"
'Ding! The world's will?!!' the system seemed shocked, 'Ding! We are already asking too much of her.'
"Just ask," Arthur smiled, "I only need places of resources like ore mines and herb gardens and other things around the cities I'm building."
'Ding! I doubt she will accept that!'
"Just ask and see if she accepts any price," Arthur said before hurriedly adding, "but that's in case she refused."
'Ding! I see… let me speak with her and return back to you with the news.'
"I hope she accepts," Arthur sighed, "if not we'll have to use the old way."
'Sending our villagers out to scan for resources?' Gege asked.
"No, bribe those dwellers here to give us everything we want," he turned to the settlement, "but I prefer not to pay a thing for such info."
'…'
