Arthur didn't hurry to kill them as he knew his dragomancer technique wasn't flawless. Yes the dragons would retain some of their old memories, but they still remain only scattered pieces and small fragments.
"We won't tell you anything."
One of the group replied in extreme arrogance and determination that made Arthur sigh. 'Is there a way to force them to speak?' he asked his three beings inside his mind.
'As far as I know there was once a potion for that, but I don't know the formula for it,' the golden dragon was the first to let him down.
'I know nothing as well,' Gege said.
'Ding! There is a technique but it requires a high level of mine to be unlocked,' the system said.
'Can't you unlock it for me?'
'Ding! Sigh, I can't. not every technique is possible to be used or else why are there many levels in your evolution path?'
'Sigh, it's a regret then,' Arthur was dejected that he didn't move to kill them himself. "Kill them," he simply said to his werewolf who viciously smiled as he muttered, "my pleasure."
"Wait, I don't want to die!"
After the death of five members suddenly one of the remaining got cold feet and hurried to shout.
"Good boy," Arthur commended, "tell me everything you know then."
"We…" just before he could speak the other four instantly moved to silence him by death. "Save him," Arthur shouted and his werewolf wasn't stupid to stand there and watch this happen under his watch.
In an instant he showed these lowly beings how big the difference in strength was between the two sides. He killed the other four even before they could touch a single hair of the informer.
And that youth who was almost twenty-five years old collapsed on the ground with a shaking body and pale face.
"Don't worry," Arthur moved to his side, "I won't let anyone hurt you."
"Thanks," the youth said in honest gratitude before Arthur glanced at his werewolf in a meaningful way.
"I'll watch the area around," the werewolf said before turning and vanished from the area.
"Now," Arthur turned to that youth, "tell me everything you know."
"We were ordered to leave the army towards the outside on a mission of making arrays," the youth said, "but in the middle our group was asked to be left behind to act as a delaying decoy for you if you came looking for them."
The face of the youth turned ruthless, "as if I would accept being killed and sacrificed for something I hardly know! This is ridiculous, right?"
"Indeed," Arthur nodded, "do you know what array they were trying to create? And where are they going to do that?"
"We made a grand summoning formation back at your city," the kid said what Arthur already was aware of, "and to activate it we need a large army from higher planes to do that."
"They are going to summon the army here?" Arthur muttered in disbelief.
"No," the youth shook his head, "they are going to establish a link, a portal between the two worlds so those up there ready to act would start their business without the need to come down here."
Arthur's face got more dignified when he heard these words. "Where are they? And do you know how many units are out there doing this?"
"We left the army in thirty-six groups each headed towards different directions," the youth said while he seemed to recall what happened in his mind, "we are going to establish three arrays at the same time."
"Summoning three armies?" Arthur was speechless. He never thought his enemies would be so ruthless.
"We won't do that, they hardly amassed one army enough to activate this summon," the youth said, "they are using a failsafe by this way, acting on guard in case you showed up and ruined one or two arrays."
"Hmm… interesting," Arthur muttered while deeply thinking about this plan, "interesting mindset… who is the leader of your army by the way? Someone from this world or outside?"
"The one leading us is from the higher worlds, I suppose he is a dragonair like yourself."
"Interesting foe," Arthur muttered, "a formidable one that I never faced alike so far."
"Yeah, he is such an interesting youth," the youth said.
"Youth? He is young?"
"I believe he isn't exceeding my age."
"Impressive," Arthur commended, "that makes me crushing his scheme has much better feeling," he laughed before asking, "so they are going to establish three twelve star arrays to establish this link. Do you know how long they need to do that?"
"Not much I think," the youth replied, "they had many energy ores with them. Things from higher up planes I suppose."
"Then I should start moving," Arthur waved his hand over the youth head, "go inside, you have done your part of the deal."
The next moment the youth vanished and the werewolf came flying from far. "Are we going after them?" he asked.
"Sure," Arthur turned into a dragon once more, "let's see how they will react after crushing all their plans."
"Sounds like a good plan to me."
Arthur went towards the direction he felt his enemies would be at. "If they need little time to activate their arrays then I shouldn't waste time looking for them one by one," he muttered while adding to Gege:
'As that youth more about the directions of these teams. If he knew these then it would be better. Also bring forth all the higher plane armies inside plus the dragons. It's time to send many teams out.'
Gege instantly did what he asked for. 'He said he knew some routes, but not all of them. Plus he only knows the directions the teams took from the city, not their final destination.'
'Any news is good news,' Arthur muttered, 'bring forth everyone after informing them of the mission and destination.'
The next moment a large number of his elite forces appeared all around him.
