Chapter 689 - Getting Near Doaf Fast
'Wanting to turn them into your army?' Gege read his line of thoughts and was startled by that, 'but they are dead fixed on killing you before dying!'
"Just use some portals to kill some before I speak out," Arthur said and Gege only sighed.
For her, she wanted just to kill them and satisfy her burning fire of revenge.
The next minute many portals appeared and cleared away at least one tenth of the remaining forces here. Gege was resentful and so she used many mechas and even some of Amera and the crow angry forces to kill as many as she could before Arthur suddenly shouted:
"Surrender and live, work for me and live. Or elseā¦ you'll all die here!"
His words made some hesitant, yet others were deeply absorbed in their decision to kill him.
"See those stupid ones?" he said.
'I'll kill them with pleasure,' Gege laughed before the next moment the portals appeared once again and the mecha started killing those determined ones.
"Surrender, stop flying and stand in your places now or I'll kill you all!"
Arthur's shout this time came to stop everyone, literally everyone from flying after him. He stopped as well and glanced at all of them before adding, "swear allegiance to me, kneel and be one of my forces."
The next moment a large number of portals appeared all over the place and most of Arthur's army appeared at this moment.
From the initial thousands mages army, only less than a thousand stood there in the air with dejected faces. They were still sad about their losses, yet they didn't have a chance to resist.
Or else they would be killed like their friends and leaders.
"I swear to serve you," one said and bowed his head to Arthur.
And he wasn't the last one to do so.
'Ding! Y'know they can't be that trusted, right?' the system warned.
'They will backstab you in the grand fight! Let's kill them all now!' Gege added.
"Take them inside," Arthur simply said, "and start the slave contract to make sure they won't betray me."
'Sigh,' Gege couldn't help but comply with a dejected tone while some portals appeared in front of these surrendering forces.
"Enter inside," Arthru shouted, "and there you'll do a contract with me to make sure you won't have any funny thoughts. Try to be smart and I promise you won't take the next breath in your chest."
His words made some hesitate and he didn't even blink while saying, "kill those hesitant ones now."
'Yeah, that's more I like,' Gege laughed before some portals appeared in scattered places and those who had ill intention were instantly cleared.
"Try to be funny," Arthur ruthlessly threatened, "and you'll end up like them."
This time all of them nodded and bowed their heads, moved without delay inside the garden where they would become one of his forces.
"prepare everything for the contract now," he said to Gege while Amera and the crow flew fast to reach him in no time.
"What about Doaf?" the crow asked.
"Anymore enemies?" Amera asked.
"He isn't too far ahead," Arthur said, "and we have tons of enemies yet to kill."
"Great, I didn't drench my burning fire inside yet," Amera savagely sneered, "and I like this way of fighting, like this no one can stand against us!"
"Yeah, it's a brilliant way to fight," the crow agreed.
"But it's limited," Arthur helplessly said as this way was limited by Gege, "but it will be enough to save Daof and join the fight back at the sect."
"Then we shouldn't waste time here anymore," Amera said while glancing at the surrendering forces getting in, "what do you plan to do with them?"
"Use them to fight for me of course."
"You should know they would betray you at the first chance," the crow warned.
"That's why I'll establish a slave contract instantly."
"That might work," Amera muttered, "we need every ounce of strength at this war. Hopefully we gain more from it."
"I also hope so," Arthur muttered before setting them off. In less than ten minutes he was all alone and he didn't hurry to leave before collecting all the dead bodies of the fallen enemies all over the place.
'Doaf is about to get caught,' Gege suddenly said.
"I'm done here," Arthur spread his wings and started to fly fast, "which direction?"
'Just go to your left, he is less than one hour away.'
"He moved closer?"
'The tree informed him about the fight here,' Gege said, 'and he decided to shift his group of men towards here.'
"Oh, so they were the main forces hunting him down," Arthur understood what happened, "that's great. Now we can just go and meet him before returning to the sect."
He paused before asking, "any news from them?"
'Not yet,' Gege knew whom he was talking about, 'they need an hour and half to reach their enemies.'
"Barely in time," Arthur nodded, "I need all the info they could get as soon as possible so I can arrange the defenses in the sect accordingly."
'I understand,' Gege said.
'Ding! Won't you start the slave contract process now?' the system reminded him and Arthur smiled.
"I'll need you to keep me flying forward while doing that," Arthur closed his eyes next and the system took over his body for the next ten minutes.
"They are all bound now by the slave contract," the moment he opened his eyes he was pleased by this result, "over eight hundred higher realm mages with strong monster transformations is simply a great gift."
'Hopefully they won't slack at the upcoming war.'
'Ding! If they did then he could simply kill them.'
"Indeed," Arthur nodded as he kept flying towards Doaf's direction.
And Doaf seemed to keep heading towards him at fast speed as well.
In less than half an hour, Gege said:
'He is almost up there.'
Arthur extended his neck and scanned the horizon before he spotted some black dots flashing in the far horizon. "He is fast," he muttered, "is he hunted down?"
'The enemies around are only less than a thousand,' Gege said.
"Not a big deal then," Arthur knew that dealing with such forces was a breeze for Gege.
And yet just before the two could meet up, the system suddenly shouted:
'Ding! Watch out!!"
