Arthur started his work to make the pills without any rest. He was pushed to the limit by the little time he had.
"Keep an eye over them for me please," he said to Gege before adding, "and keep an eye over the main army as well."
'The main army needs four to six hours at least to come here,' she said without delay, 'and from the shape of things almost half of the army is now chasing the three forces.'
"At least they managed to pull that move," he muttered, "How about the aiders? The villagers and mages?"
'I spread the word and a large number is already gathering up. I'll start moving them in less than one hour here.'
"Great," Arthur thought before adding, "keep track of time for me. When an hour passes in the outside world, notify me."
'You will move this early?'
"I don't guarantee to save them in time," he said, "after all I have to kill that army chasing the crow forces before heading to the other two as well."
She didn't say anything as she realized his words were very logical.
Arthur started making the two pills first. After a couple of hours he managed to amass a large number of the two pills before he decided to go full out.
"I have to make the final pill as well as making the two other pills as well," he started to fly in the air between the two cauldrons creating after images sometimes.
He selected the big cauldron to make the two pills, one at a time. As for the final pill he used the smaller cauldron as it was much easier to control.
As time passed, and he started to produce large amounts of the pills his speed and efficiency started to rapidly increase.
'There is less than a quarter of an hour now,' Gege suddenly said, 'the main army is still advancing while the three armies are getting near to being surrounded.'
"No problem, notify me when that quarter passes."
'Those villagers and mages are now gathered here,' she added, 'and they are now moving the sick people here.'
"Good."
'They ask how to heal them.'
He paused for a moment before turning towards the large hills of potions stored in one place around. "They first will give them this potion," he said, "two sips at first, then wait for five minutes then they will give them the pill and wait for another five and then give them four sips… no make it five sips of potion."
'This is for each person?' she asked just to make sure she would deliver the instructions right.
"Yes, this is meant for each one," Arthur nodded. "At least a potion for three people, and one pill for each."
'Alright, I got it,' she said before adding in strange excitement, 'I'll make sure they will start now. We have little time left here anyway.'
"I doubt they would be ready to help in the fight to save the three armies," Arthur muttered, "but I want them ready for the final battle."
'I'll make sure they got these instructions and will keep you updated.'
"Thanks," he said before recalling his system, "did she respond yet?"
'Ding! Not yet,' the system sighed, 'Ding! I told you not to count on her.'
"That's why I'll move earlier than I supposed to," Arthur took a deep breath, "anyway I have to go in time to save them."
For the next hour and half he kept making pills like crazy while Gege kept moving the potions and the pills to the places where those sick people were gathered.
'It's time,' suddenly she said, 'and there is another army approaching from the east.'
"Foes?" Arthur was startled by this, "or friends?"
'The tree couldn't tell,' Gege sighed, 'but she believes they are hostile forces.'
"How many?"
'Their number isn't the issue, but their ability to fly.'
"They are… flying monsters?" Arthur was speechless for a second, "anyone recovered from them had to come out and help in securing the sect against these flying monsters."
'But they need at least five hours to arrive,' Gege said in a doubt.
"I'm sure they will arrive earlier," Arthur muttered, "they are the hit force of the enemy, and I doubt they are weak."
'As you wish.'
"Also prepare some mechas to defend and alarm the army outside as well."
'Consider it done.'
"Alright," Arthur took a deep breath as he finished the final batch of his pills, "take me outside then,"
A portal appeared next and he simply passed through. "Any news from her?" he asked.
'Ding! Not a single word.'
"Alright then," Arthur flapped his wings and soared to the clouds at a fast speed, "which way?" he asked.
'Go slightly to your left,' Gege said, 'keep moving there straight and you'll arrive first at the crow forces.'
"And the main army?"
'It's slightly to your left,' she said, 'don't worry, I'll keep an eye over them.'
"Great," Arthur then focused entirely on reaching there in time using his fastest speed.
Yet it seemed there was a traitor in his ground forces, or perhaps just bad luck to be spotted by a scout team of his enemies as he didn't fly for more than ten minutes and Gege returned with the bad news.
'The main army is changing its direction.'
Arthur's heart clenched the moment he heard her words. "They are coming to me?" he asked while already knowing the answer.
'It seems so,' Gege sighed, 'this way saving the crow team itself would be challenging.'
Arthur paused before saying, "can he join the other two?"
'Well… let me check with the tree first,' she didn't give a definite answer except after a couple more minutes. 'He can join Amera, but Doaf is slightly away,' she said before warning, 'but this would take him away from you and closer to his enemies.'
"No problem," Arthur decided to take the risk after a minute of thinking, "tell him to move and tell the other two about the entire plan and me coming to their rescue."
