"So you are the one fiery one who keeps messing with our people… You don't look that scary at all!"
Just as Amera stood in place watching the faces of her enemies, one giant female moved from inside the circle of the leaders and went towards the guards.
She seemed to be somehow familiar to someone Amera knew; Arthur.
"You are a dragonair girl?" Amera squeezed her eyes while moving her eyes around the guards. There were almost a thousand of them, each gave off such a vibe that wasn't any weaker than her.
"I also heard that you are so close to that nuisance kid called Willy," the girl didn't answer her words as she leisurely flew towards the front, "I don't know but it feels that anyone would like to get near a dragonair, even if he was a traitor."
Amera felt danger coming from this girl even more than all the guards combined. She didn't hesitate to turn tail and fly away.
"Hahaha, do you think I'll let you go this easily?" the girl suddenly turned into a giant dragon with black scales, "I won't let you run away… Follow me! Roar!"
The girl roared and then Amera felt the air around her getting thicker. It was like she was flying in a heavy lead right now. However she didn't stop flying away while her pursuers were coming fast at her.
They weren't affected by the roars of that dragonair girl.
"Die you pathetic cauldron girl!'' The dragonair girl slowly opened her mouth and a mighty black fire breath erupted.
But at this moment Amera finally regained her freedom. She didn't give up on running away and even for a fraction of a second she managed to cross enough distance to make her evade the deadly black fire.
But she got injured nonetheless.
"Damn! It hurts!" Amera couldn't help but groan in pain while pushing herself to fly around. Despite this, she never stopped harassing the ground forces that just arrived.
"Stubborn stupid girl! I thought you would run away inside that pathetic weak fort of yours. However you chose to die here… I can't ignore this death wish of yours then…"
The girl seemed to be dead fixed on killing Amera. However the latter learnt from her lesson. She never stopped at any place for over one minute and kept jumping off from one place to another.
She made sure the distance between her and the enemies would be large enough to make her evade any roars and black fire breaths.
At the same time Doaf stood inside the sect watching that dangerous situation of Amera with conflicted thoughts. If it was up to him, he would have led his small army and had a good spar with those forces chasing Amera.
However he knew if he did so then the entire defensive plan would be discarded. He didn't want that, or couldn't do that. "Sigh, please last a little longer," he silently prayed while moving his eyes towards the area around the sect.
The ground enemies came hot at the sect and took the bait. The fight started brutally everywhere while Doaf watched many forces clashing together while blood and screams dominated everything.
For a moment the battle seemed balanced, but he knew that was because the enemy was still reserving some forces at the back.
The enemy was still cautious of any traps of hidden tricks. "C'mon, take the bait already!" Doaf was counting minutes while waiting for the enemy to see that the sect couldn't be defended.
"Spread my orders," after half an hour, a stressful half of an hour, he decided to accelerate things on his part, "make the forces retreat towards the peaks."
"Sir?" one of the elites of his own side seemed startled by this illogical order.
"Just do it now!" Doaf didn't give the poor mage any chance to express his doubts as he turned and glared at him. Doaf knew there was no time to hear anything from anyone.
He only wanted to force the enemies to advance, so he could kill them all and give the needed help to the trapped Amera.
Amera was facing a situation that was getting worse with each passing minute. Her enemy wasn't just recklessly chasing her around. In fact the dragonair girl was toying calmly with her like she was hunting a flying butterfly around the green fields.
She started to distribute her men around the battlefield to corner Amera. Of course stretching her men like this would leave many gaps in between, so she started to adjust this and form a semi-circular tight net.
This didn't help in trapping Amera right away, but as they started to push forward, they were limiting places Amera would travel and jump in between.
And that meant in less than one hour Amera would be trapped and caught!
Doaf saw this from his far away position as he had a panoramic view over the battlefield. So he estimated he would have less than fifteen minutes to act.
Or else even if he pulled that trick, Amera would face a very challenging situation to escape from.
As his weird orders came, everyone started to execute them regardless of what they were thinking about. Not all did that as some decided to defy these bizarre orders and fight until the last breath of their lives.
Doaf watched them and could only inwardly sigh. These were brave warriors who would create difference in such stressful times.
In fact he anticipated some would do that, not listen and defy his orders. Despite that he never said anything to stop or warn them. He wanted some to sacrifice their lives for this plan to succeed.
If everyone retreated without any resistance, this would make the enemy more wary about advancing. However with those brave ones, the plan seemed more realistic and the enemy began to think he was successfully pushing the defensive forces by his own might.
As Doaf expected, once the forces retreated, the enemy advanced.. This time they threw everything they got towards the sect.
