His sudden appearance here startled and alarmed everyone. They weren't used to any flying monster in the area; especially such a giant dragon.
As such, alarm sounds started to echo everywhere. "Even from the distance," he muttered while the sounds came as well from the lands beyond his sight.
"That's fine, I should be able to control this area then in the next hours," he moved towards the front, looking for a suitable area to fight.
Yet he flew for half an hour without seeing any open place until he reached the end of the villages and towns here. They abruptly ended at open plains, ending up with a line of trees at the end of his eyesight.
"A forest?" he said to himself before noticing a large dust cloud coming from far on the west. "They are really fast," he smiled before thinking, "should I use the armies inside?"
His army stationed in his garden was a ground one. Facing such numbers by this army would prove to be challenging. "Yet they will help," he said before turning to the ground and then he started to manually take out all the armies he could reach.
His warriors grew restless inside; doing nothing but wait. So when he summoned them, they were eager to fight. Without any further ado, they recognized the incoming enemy from far and started to arrange their lines.
Arthur took out a hundred thousand warriors, then he rose to the air and started scouting the incoming army. Despite his sudden intrusion; the army coming at him seemed to be in hundreds of thousands.
"That's amazing," he muttered and he checked for any monsters among the warriors coming closer at him and his army. "Few of them, that's nice," he smirked when he noticed the scattered monsters among the warriors acting as their leaders.
"Taking them down should be enough," he didn't delay as he went head on towards these monsters. His sudden approach was welcomed with chaotic movement down below, as many formations were triggered aiming to defend against any of his attacks.
"Really?" he laughed and his laughs were heard as brutal roars before taking out his bow and couple of arrows before launching them to different directions.
"Rumble."
"Rumble."
"Rumble."
The arrows he sent went ahead and caused several explosions that made everyone stop in their tracks and glance in horror at that epic scene.
"I have to admit, using these arrows never gets old, hehehe," he laughed while moving, using these moments of distraction, and started targeting the nearby monsters.
These monsters were like bulls, with many horns and three to five elastic tails. Each group of monsters didn't have more than a hundred.
Despite their thick scales defending their bodies; they couldn't withstand his fire. The sprays he rained over their heads came to add more horror to the scene; announcing his appearance in this far part of the world.
"It seems that my reputation had reached this place," he laughed while noticing the cheers coming from different places supporting him.
Most of them came from the dense cluster of villages and towns. He ignored all these as he went everywhere targeting these monsters.
And that marked the real start of this fight!
The monsters were on the ground, yet they lived in the shadow of flying monsters in this world for so long. They developed many strategies and built huge weapons to hunt flying monsters.
And Arthur started to taste some of these arrangements.
"Tsk, all these huge spears flying at me… do you think I'm out of solutions?" he laughed before canceling his transformation the moment these long thick black spears came near to him. As he returned human again, he fell to the ground, simply evading the spears.
"Any slaves don't move, I will kill all the monsters leading you and set you free."
In this short moment of being human, he shouted with his loudest voice to tell those on the ground about his plans. If they knew they would be free soon, they mightn't listen to any orders coming from the ground monsters.
As he expected, his words caused great stir down below. The warriors started to clear paths around those monsters; easily marking them to him.
"Thanks," he roared while going directly towards these circles demarcated by the warriors before killing any monster inside.
None escaped his fire, and all were killed in no time. He went forward, covering the entire army in a couple of hours, while evading many attacks coming from the ground.
Cheers kept coming from the villages, as they watched him crushing all these monsters. The light of their freedom drew near the more he Sprayed his fire breaths.
After five hours of fighting solo, he managed to finally kill all the monsters in this grand army. He hovered above the warriors' heads while heading directly towards the nearest town.
"Listen up, spread the words… anyone wanting to be free has to be ready to move in two hours from now," he shouted before adding, "send the words to other settlements, let everyone know I'm here, and I will save them all!"
He stood on the roof of a grand building in this town, towering to reach seven stories high as he shouted at the villagers and warriors near and far.
As his words fell, some shouted asking one question. "Are you the kind lord from the east?"
He smiled as according to Olor's maps, the place he came from was from the east from here, at the center of this world. "It's me," he said, "and I'm here to save all of you and provide you a new path in life," he tried to act magnanimous, and his words and attitude served to achieve that.
The loud cheering he received after saying these words was epic! He even felt the building he was standing upon tremble faintly under the sounds of everyone around.
"Go, we have no time to waste," he urged, before stressing, "spread the word, I will stay here for days.. Let anyone close by to come, and those far to be ready and waiting."
