The lion descended and from the struggling expression over his face he realized how deeply respected Rivak was among the people here.
"Eat this," Arthur took a large piece of meat and threw it as if it was nothing to the lion who held it with his paw before glancing again at Arthur in question.
"This is a special meat my villagers created from the body of a gigantic Golam I killed. This Golam is something legendary in the higher realms and I managed to slain it with the help of my loyal armies."
The words of Arthur were met by mocking glances even from the lion himself. "Wait…" Arthur stopped him before warning, "eat it small piece at a time, it holds a great amount of nutrients and I don't want your body to explode."
The lion glanced at Rivak who nodded. Arthur felt some annoyance from this motion but he didn't show this upset and waited. "Soon you'll all be mine," he muttered, promising himself that this fate would be the proper retaliation for such a mocking attitude.
The lion first sniffed the piece of meat before sneering as if it was some kind of a silly joke. He ate a big bite of it for his eyes to bulge in the next instant and his body started to turn red.
His scales started changing, like it was under great heat all of sudden. It turned from orange into red then pure white before it shone brightly like each scale contained a tiny version of a star.
"Amazing," Arthur muttered while the change in the lion extended to his energy. The next instant a shock wave erupted all around him, knocking down everything in a radius of one mile except for Arthur and his dragons.
"Interesting," Arthur said before laughing, "I never thought your clan had such potential buried underneath this weak form of your."
The lion couldn't answer him as the next moment a cocoon was formed around him and he slept. "And you are going to evolve, I like that."
The eyes of Arthur shone brighter in blue light while he turned around to face Rivak who was just standing up from the ground. "Quite satisfied now?"
Rivak pointed in shaking hands towards the meat as he asked in choked voice: "What the hell is wrong with this meat?"
"It's only… meat," Arthur shrugged before laughing, "but it contains a huge amount of energy that your bodies lack. And now… are you willing to follow me willingly or should I use force?"
"Oh, mighty lord you are so generous and wise," the tone and attitude of Rivak suddenly changed before adding, "we all swear allegiance to you," he then turned around as he waved his hand to everyone who could see him before he knelt to Arthur announcing his loyalty.
And then every single one in this entire region knelt in response. "Amazing," he muttered, "tell me what abilities do you have?"
Rivak seemed hesitant for a moment before saying, "I… have no special talent."
"How come?" Arthur was surprised, "as far as I can see, you are well respected and very trusted by your people. You can't have any ability at all."
"I… I failed in all the tests before."
"Weird…" Arthur was curious more about Rivak, "c'mon, eat a small piece of this meat."
"This…" Rivak had a sudden change in his face. He struggled as if he was trying to resist the deep urge in his soul that was craving for such a chance.
"What?" Arthur sneered, "don't tell me you are afraid of such small meat? Afraid of your own destiny?"
The words of Arthur made this young man get full rounded eyes as his face turned to show his firm belief. He moved towards the meat and instead of eating a small piece of it, he ate it as a whole.
"C'mon, don't be ridiculous," Arthur shouted before hurrying towards him, "take him inside, and try to support him."
'With what?' Gege asked.
'Ding! The purified Golam lake is a perfect place to control his evolution.'
"Alright take him there."
Arthur didn't object on that and what just happened here didn't escape the watchful eyes of curious villagers. The instant reaction of Arthur made them all feel some warmth deep inside their souls.
At least he wasn't that cold hearted dragonair or dark as they feared.
"Alright," Arthur stood straight before shouting, "let's move, we have a long way to reach your new home."
Arthur left the mission of arranging the migration of all this number to his dragons and now much excited and very loyal lions.
The march was slow, and during this he met with many villages and towns and he managed to subdue them without any fight.
Who was stupid enough to stand against such force? Even the look of Arthur in his dragonair form leading this endless march of villagers made anyone hurry to surrender and announce their loyalty.
He took four days to return again to the place of his city construction. This time he found more people there as the three girls managed to send many villagers to here.
He wasn't doubting the fact they used pure strength to achieve this goal but he wasn't disapproving of this. After all if people weren't tempted to join by honey, a stick should be used to convince them.
"This is getting more interesting," Arthur laughed the moment he flew above the grand space of his city between the three mountains.
"Agnus… he did a marvelous job as usual."
Agnus didn't only make drilling machines to excavate mountains, he also made many to cut deep into the earth. This made the task of digging the land to lay the essential Ley Lines diagram much easier. "They managed to overcome this much in these mere days… amazing!"
Arthur was pretty much satisfied with this and he was curious about what the end result of his city would be.
"I bet you are restless now, hehehe," he laughed while moving his gaze towards four different directions. "It's time to make preparations for the big war to defend this city."
He wasn't delusional to think his city would be built without any great war. His enemies wouldn't stand still watching him overcoming the hurdle they put him in and let him establish his city the way he wanted.
"No matter what, I'll make sure when the time comes they will be much amazed by the numbers and the power of my armies.. I promise no matter who is coming at me, I will crush you all."
