'The werewolf followed him while secretly admiring his efforts. "I never thought someone from the low realms would be this diligent in getting stronger," he said while Arthur was halfway through collecting his loot.
"I'm strong, but can I win wars with my own strength alone?" he said before turning around and flew again towards another group, "a real monarch should exert more effort than his subjects."
The werewolf silently nodded as this was a mindset worth admiring. "If not you belong to the light side," he muttered and his casual remark made Arthur laugh.
But he continued to do his task without saying anymore.
"We are done here," Amera were the fastest again to reach him first, "are you planning to press for the third academy?" she asked.
"No, this won't be a wise move," Arthur smiled, "these lands are there and won't fly, but my city is at a grave risk. I doubt the army galloping the earth right now towards it would be this easy to conquer."
"Don't worry," the crow reached second, "we got your back."
"This should be my line," Doaf finally arrived while shaking off his head, "he is my young master."
"And my friend," the crow stubbornly said.
"And my ally," Amera added.
"Only an ally? Not something else?"
Amera sneered, "you need to cross many heavens to reach me boy, stop daydreaming will you?"
Arthur laughed before ending this light talk, "we need to move now, go in and I'll bring you once I reach my city."
"Alright, take good care of yourself young master," Doaf said before Arthur took the three leaders and their legions inside.
Despite all this fight, the losses of them were only less than fifty so far. "Good specimens for my dragomancer," yet Arthur was much excited about this as he took in all his dragons and turned thirty into dragons before storing the rest of those precious bodies inside his garden.
"Time to head to the city," he was all alone in this battlefield, surrounded by nothing except ruins and destruction. He spread his wings and flew fast towards the direction of his city, not giving the academy left behind without any proper defenses or strong mages anymore without giving it a single glance.
"I'll come for you later," he softly muttered while flying alone with his fastest speed. The last time he had to slow down a bit to match the speed of the three girls, but now he was all alone.
So he pressed forward with his highest speed while consuming meat and replenishing pills at a regular pace.
"This… looks quite bad."
The distance from the academy he just devastated and his city would take at least a day from him to cover. Just as he crossed half of it he received a distress message from Amelia asking for immediate reinforcements.
She described the situation there as being disastrous. "Damn, I should find a way to cover large distances in no time."
'Ding! There is such an ability but isn't yet available for you,' the system suddenly said, providing timely ideas as always.
"Can you use it for me this time?" Arthur was already deeply worried over his city. Knowing there were higher realm fighters out there made him quite restless.
'Ding! I can use it for you this one time,' the system said the great news, 'Ding! But you will lose the chance to unlock it in your next upgrade.'
This was slightly bad for him. "How efficient this ability would be?" he first asked to know what he was sacrificing here.
'Ding! It can link you to a place you were before. So basically you can arrive in your city the next moment.'
"Damn," Arthur cursed before shaking off his head in regret, "I can't risk losing my city right now. Use it and hopefully I can upgrade fast this time."
'Ding! Alright, hang tight as this would feel quite uncomfortable for you.'
"Prepare the others," Arthur had only the time to say this before he suddenly felt every organ in his body being twisted by a mighty force. "Damn, this was tough," he groaned the moment he landed, hitting the ground massively and creating a deep crater there.
'Ding! Sorry this is a rude ability as I forced its activation.'
Arthur stood up from the ground and hurriedly took a couple of healing pills and five pieces of meat while watching everything around him. "Damn, they are unstoppable!"
Everywhere around him was ushered in destruction and runes, a similar scene to what he left just behind at the two academies. "They are hitting the defensive shield, perfect."
The place he landed at was just outside the walls, separated from the main battlefield by miles. He was literally in the middle of the enemy ranks, and everywhere around him he spotted oceans of enemies flooding towards his city in great momentum.
And despite being surrounded by the army he landed in, he wasn't worried over his safety. "Bring forth my cavalry," he only said those words before flapping his wings and soaring fast to the sky evading endless streams of attacks barely by mere seconds.
And then the entire place was filled with his mixed army. They suddenly landed over their enemies like thunder and he didn't hesitate to take out his sword and raise it high in the sky: "Kill them all! Don't show them mercy!"
His words just landed and a massive battle outbroke all of sudden. The werewolf moved himself without the need of Arthur to tell him anything while Arthur only glanced all around.
"They killed a good part of my forces here," he spotted a great number of flying lions bodies scattered alongside mages and monsters of his own forces. "Good I selected the right choice here."
He spotted up at front the leading force that led this army. They were formed of five thousand higher realm fighters with around one hundred thousand elites from this world.
"It's time to knock some senses in the lot of you," he used his sword to unleash some attacks before storing it and taking out the two pillars of his.
