Chapter 685 - Arthur Was Right
Arthur was feeling more unease towards this situation the more he thought about it. "Leaving behind all these weak mages to just create a false image of being in desperate need for help is a very good move to be honest," he muttered.
'But they can be easily wiped out,' Gege was still unconvinced by his logic, 'what's the need to retreat then? Even the incoming elites are grouped into many smaller teams that we can hunt with much ease.'
'Ding! You are still young,' the system finally stepped in, 'Ding! This is clearly a trap. They want us to stay behind, stay away from the sect either to kill us or to kill them.'
'What can they do to us? To them?'
"I dunno," Arthur honestly said, "but I won't stand here and watch my enemy complete his masterpiece without stopping him."
'You two…' Gege was frustrated and thought they were just being over worried and slightly afraid.
"Where are they?" Arthur shifted the topic back to what he cared much about.
'They are up front,' Gege said.
"But why didn't they come here to meet me yet?" Arthur asked before being vigilant all of sudden, "where are they exactly? Ask the tree."
'One sec,' she went to silence before returning back fast, 'they are two miles directly upfront.'
"Two miles are nothing for Amera," Arthur muttered.
'Ding! And the crow,' the system added, 'Ding! Except if they are being hunted down.'
'There is not a single enemy chasing them,' Gege shouted in impatience.
"We'll see," Arthur clenched his sword before adding, "Be ready to pull all the mechas from there and send them here."
'And those large numbers of enemies?'
'The ground forces can deal with them," Arthur said before he started to watch the surrounding area in extreme caution.
He was flying in the middle of large mountain peaks at the moment with the thick line of clouds above.
These mountains blocked his vision and prevented him from being able to see through the short distance of a few miles ahead.
"Anytime now," he crossed two miles already and just one mountain peak stood between him and the two leaders and their forces.
"Up there?" he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from up above, "follow me," he ordered the mecha army following him, "and be ready, we'll have a bitter fight now."
'There's no proof of that!' Gege was so defensive yet the moment he penetrated the thick coat of clouds, she was stupefied by what she saw.
"This…" Arthur also froze there for a moment before his face turned savage, "all on me, don't break off," he shouted before leading the mecha mages towards the five thousand enemies hunting down his almost five hundred higher realm forces.
An intense fight was raging between the two sides and for Amera and the crow forces it wasn't a fight but a massacre.
"Don't break the formation," Arthur yelled, stressing over this as the five thousand enemies were all from the higher world it seemed.
The sudden appearance of this two thousand mecha army led by Arthur caused a disturbance in the enemy forces.
And the next moment he waved his sword and hit one of those enemies directly on the chest.
"Clang!"
Yet just as he sent one flying backward with a deep wound on his chest, another one jumped over him and managed to block his sword with his spear.
"You came," that mage sneered, "time for you to die with your forces."
Arthur knew it would be hard to penetrate through these thick lines of the enemies, but at least he wasn't that worried while dealing with them.
"All released ranged attacks now," he suddenly shouted before turning around himself and blocked the spear tip sent by his enemy, deflecting it to the side.
"He is strong," he muttered while the sword phantom in his right hand trembled alongside his arm, "but strength isn't the only thing that determines the winner here."
He slightly flapped his wings and moved his body to the side. Letting the spear glide on his sword, he then moved fast up front and inserted the sword directly in his enemy's heart.
"Skill is what matters the most," he muttered before taking out the sword phantom from his enemy's dead body and then receiving a sword hit from another enemy.
He simply exchanged a couple of hits with him before he suddenly ducked and turned around. The enemy turned in swiftness to see no one behind him.
"Here," Arthur's voice came from his back before he hit the side of his neck as he descended from the sky upon him.
Arthur was using his speed to the extreme. He tricked the enemy thinking he would attack him from behind, yet Arthur didn't stop and flew higher and circled above him before finally landing the final hit over him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Just as he killed his second enemy, the sounds of explosions raged all of sudden from front. "They came," he smiled.
'I didn't wait for you to give the order,' Gege said in a very angry tone, 'how dare they trick me and my precious tree friend? Screw them, I will make sure to kill them all!'
In front of him many portals appeared and all of sudden Nara appeared leading the rest of the mechas from the distant battle to here. The moment they appeared they fired their strongest attacks before entering again into the portals and vanished.
The places they appeared at were carefully selected by Gege to make them face unprepared enemies and land deadly blows to them in no time.
And the next moment more portals appeared and those mechas started to act like real magicians, appearing in one place before vanishing and appearing at another.
And anyplace they appeared at they didn't leave without dealing a deadly blow to at least one of the enemies if not more.
"Hahaha, I like," Arthur was very impressed with the vengeful nature of Gege, "move more then, let them all help in clearing off the enemies."
'No they are enough,' Gege said, 'I won't let you unprotected. Who knows what those bastards might do at their dying moments.'
Arthur didn't object to her as he was busy receiving a strong axe attack that was thrown aiming at his head. "Damn you! Do you think these childish plays can stop our great army?" the mage roared in frustration while Arthur only sneered.
"If you have any ounce of strength then bring it on," he simply answered before exchanging blow after blow with that mage. Each hit made his body ache and yet Arthur was the one pushing his enemy backward.
'Ding! Watch out! More enemies are coming from behind those peaks,' the system suddenly warned and Arthur realized his foe wasn't bluffing or acting strong just now.
"Make them save the two forces now," Arthur hurriedly said as he knew his system detected those enemies using his scout ability, "it's time for us to retreat back to the first battle."
'No problem,' Gege started to act obedient and didn't object to his orders anymore. She realized from this simple and bitter experience that there were many cunning people in this world, and Arthur was fit enough to judge what was best to do in each situation.
"Keep firing," Arthur suddenly rotated right as he shouted, "clear all the hostiles next to the crow and Amera's forces as much as you can," he shouted again while rotating to the left as he totally ignored the heavy axe descending like a meteorite from his enemy.
"It's time for you to die," just as he evaded that axe and took the enemy by surprise he didn't hesitate to flap his wings and push his body so fast to cross the distance between him and his enemy in no time.
And then he let his sword cut that giant arm holding the axe in one hit before turning around and dealing a deadly blow to his enemy's neck.
Despite not being able to cleavage his head off, he left a very deep wound, a wound that was enough to kill him.
"Keep firing," and the next moment he shouted while watching five enemies coming at once at him.
