Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair
Chapter 278 - Taking Many Pillars In Short Time"Ding! You took two days to finish things here. don't forget you have five days only before the deadline of the dragonair is mighty and he must reign supreme over the whole region task. Failure will make your enemies stronger, and you won't be able to take the pillars again."
Arthur paused as his mind froze. He glanced at the remaining pillars, he didn't even take one fifth of them! "Can I ask for the time to be delayed?" he asked, trying to find a solution to this problem.
"Ding! The system can't help you with that!"
"Why? It's just another week no more!"
"Ding! Your enemies had already hastened their plans regarding the pillars. At least half of them will be turned to their side, the dark side, so you have no liberty to ask for the time to be extended."
"…"
Arthur was speechless, as he didn't expect his enemies to start acting serious regarding the pillars. It seemed they understood his aim, and thus they focused first on securing the pillars, to make their strength rise fast.
"Ding! Can the system give a recommendation?"
"Sure, I'm out of options here to be honest."
"Ding! You can absorb the pillars directly without the need to waste time on angering the monsters or go to seal the portals."
"And lose all the potential resources and populations on the other end of the portals? Not an option!"
He knew how important the worlds on the other side of the pillars were to him and his future city and empire. without these, he would give up on really large opportunities, a solution he would be crazy if he agreed upon.
"Ding! You misunderstood something here, when taking the pillars with their regions inside your garden, the portals are still connected to the outside world. so, taking them won't affect anything at all regarding your plans, except when they send people inside the pillar regions to attack your garden.
"If it's only for that, I won't mind taking this risk at all," he muttered to himself, before making up his mind. "We will have a change in plans," he turned to his girls as he jumped over Tina's back while adding, "we will jump bang over them, kill anyone on sight, and take the pillar at once."
Tina laughed, as this was exactly what she hoped for, while Sara asked:
"Why the sudden change in plans?"
"A hunch," he simply replied without explaining anything more.
He then closed his eyes, imagined the whole star map before opening them again.
There were only two pillars remaining here, one linked to the area full of population and the other was unknown to him. He didn't delay and headed towards the one with the population.
"I think we didn't take more than a couple of days so far, will you cut the link to the outside world now and leave all these villagers?" Sara asked the moment they exited the portal and appeared inside the warehouse.
"The link won't break, it will remain later on after taking the pillars, come with me to kill everyone there," he said before heading straight towards the exit.
"Wow, that means I will have more fun inside," Tina giggled, without knowing that the garden was now filled with many changes that she wouldn't be able to recognize when coming back.
And she would have much fun indeed.
The trio flew in the sky, heading straight towards the pillar. "Tina, go and kill every single one of these warriors," he said pointing with his head towards the warriors defending the warehouse.
And Tina simply and gladly complied.
As for the pillar, the fight there was nothing to Arthur and Sara, making them clear the place in no time. "Retreat now," he shouted as the eye appeared in the next moment, freezing everything else.
"You seem quite in a hurry, don't you?"
The venerable master was able to see through his aim, and Arthur regained his freedom as he said:
"I have a great war back home, so I need to hurry in collecting the pillars."
"You can go back and finish your war then come to take the pillars, I can prevent anyone from taking them until you return."
Arthur felt tempted, but he recalled the system mission and the stakes on line here. He didn't know how the Dorfis clan would use the pillars, so he didn't want to take any risk. Collecting the pillars was his only way to guarantee his safety, his people safety, and his sprouting empire and city safety.
"Thanks for the offer esteemed master, but I prefer to weaken my enemy once and for all before the fight, especially if it will be a long war."
"Hmm… quite courageous. Actually there is no way I can interfere in things going on here, but I needed to test you and you just passed the test. good luck on your quest young white dragonair."
The eyes of the venerable then disappeared, leaving everything able to move again. This was the first time the master left without watching him take the pillars. "Phew, it seems I was under danger without knowing it," he sighed in relief as it seemed the presence of the master till the end each time he took the pillars wasn't a routine.
The master was watching him, waiting for any doubtful move and he might have attacked him.
"Go back now, I will start taking the pillar," he ordered the two girls who went directly towards the portal.
Arthur then took the pillar, returned to the star map, before heading finally towards the final pillar in this eastern group. He easily collected the pillar, making all the twenty stars on this side dark and looking dead.
"Twenty are down, eighty left to harvest," he mattered as he felt the great pressure already on him. The number was large, and if he used his old plan he would take forever to finish collecting the pillars.
However by this new strategy of his, hit, snatch, and run away he managed to take another thirty pillars, clearing the whole left stars, and even handled many of the central stars.
