Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 1039 – Prison World War – Part 7

'It's still nothing, but the tree of mirrors caught a strange appearance of whirlpools just scattered along the world. Yet these whirlpools vanished the moment they appeared.'

'Weird,' Arthur thought, 'did anyone come out of them?'

'No one,' Gege said, 'but its number is above a hundred.'

'If a hundred portals opened up, things might turn ugly,' the golden dragon said.

'Ding! We should start moving the entire army now!' the system warned.

'Alright, bring everyone out while I'm recovering my energy,' Arthur had no other choice but to stop his experiment. 

If there was such a large number of portals appearing in his empire world, then even with the presence of his powerhouses, he needed a lot of troops to be deployed.

'Make sure the mechas are ready to be deployed at a given notice, also the originals and my dragons as well,' at this point, he had no luxury at saving up his strength.

Anything he could use must be used, or else the devastation alone would set him back for months or even years.

'Save it to me,' Gege said in a confident tone, 'but the areas not covered with the mirror tree still are a problem.'

Arthur knew what she referred to. After all, the mirror of a tree had the ability to cover up to one fifth of the entire world. That meant most of the world wasn't covered or monitored by that tree, or even worse Gege's portals would be limited to such a small area.

'Start moving troops then,' Arthur firmly said, 'let Doaf, Amera, Sara, Tina, and the scorpion queen handle one fifth of the world. Leave the two necromancers with others on wait. If things went south, and if any zone requested aid, send them accordingly but leave some behind to help other regions as well.'

'How about we assign them to each zone as well?' the golden dragon suggested, 'like each necromancer handles a zone, the mechas handle a zone, the dragon's another zone, and the rest of powerhouses here would handle the last zone?'

'Not enough,' Arthur instantly declined. He already thought about this, yet there was a problem in this arrangement. 'The mechas, the necromancers, and even some powerhouses here can't handle a few top fighters of the enemy, especially those grandmasters.'

'Ding! So shall we wait until we get reports first? This might be risky,' the system said.

'We can do it this way,' Arthur had another opinion, 'we shuffle the current forces we had. Let them be arranged in ten armies, each had a mix of skeletons, originals, monsters, mages, mechas, and dragons. This way we will be sure that any army moving to help will be able to contend against any powerhouse the enemy sends to some point.'

'Ten? I like that,' Gege seemed excited about the idea for unknown reasons, 'leave it to me.'

'Don't forget that the tens of millions inside must be deployed into sixteen armies, not ten,' Arthur warned.

'I said I got it,' Gege was so excited to care about his warning. And that made Arthur inwardly sigh.

Time proved that this tornado only had enough strength to endanger Arthur only at the early minutes. Later on the tornado became as calm as a normal storm, without even causing any more consumption of his dragonair energy.

In the next twenty minutes, Arthur regained his dragonair energy to peak level. Yet the enemy didn't attack and Arthur didn't cancel his technique.

Even if the tornado looked under his control, it didn't stop yet. If Arthur rashly canceled his technique, he would face instant danger in return.

So his next move was expected. 'Move the crow back,' he said, 'and make him go to support one army.'

'Ok,' this time Gege didn't disagree with him. Just in the few breaths taken for the crow to move back, the tornado regained its ferocity.

It was like a dying monster that got a sudden outburst of power before dying. This time the ferocity didn't change a lot from the last time, and the energy consumption remained at the fifty percent scale.

Arthur didn't want to press harder on himself. The enemy was still acting cautious till now. During the past twenty minutes, another occasion of over a hundred whirlpools appeared and vanished without leaving a trace.

According to Gege, they appeared near the places the first whirlpools appeared. That meant his enemy was trying to forcibly open the portals but failed.

That made Arthur think about two options. First the enemy lacked enough energy to really open these portals like before. Or the most practical option was that his enemy was trying to open gigantic portals, enough to move hundreds of thousands of troops in a short time without much resistance.

That option was the most logical. After all Arthur and his empire weren't the only ones having two years of time to prepare.

According to what Arthur discovered in the prison world so far, his enemies didn't take this time to fortify this world as he expected.

So if two years of time passed with intense preparations, Arthur had to believe his enemies had amassed endless armies to crush him.

If the portal's capacity to move troops was a hindrance in their faces, then all of their preparations would be useless.

What was the use of having hundreds of millions of mages while they could only move tens of thousands only in each minute? Throwing this few number against his large armies was suicidal.

In the end his armies might take longer time in fighting, but they would always hold the upper hand all the time.

So if he was in his enemies' shoes, he would care too much about expanding the capacity of these portals.

That was the reason behind his doubt that the final number of portals appearing in his empire world wouldn't amount to a large figure.. If the enemy focused on expanding the portals, then the energy needed to do that would be astronomical.
