Chapter 226 - The Dark Mages And Warriors Appeared!
Things happened so fast that no one even had time to get a glimpse of him.he hurriedly went towards every single peak, starting from the distant ones, landed on each peak for a second, left a pile of bottles, then left the next moment without even glancing at anyone.
This happened frequently at the rest of peaks, while he shouted at Tina:
"Get back here, I left you a pile of bottles at my peak, consume them all!"
"Do you know such a poison?" she hurriedly asked, as she didn't delay in moving towards the peak.
"No time to explain, just order everyone to gulp a couple of the bottles I left for them at each peak, hurry!"
Tina understood how urgent the situation was, so she hurriedly shouted, in a voice heard to others:
"Listen up, your lord has left a pile of bottles at each peak, make sure each one of you will get a couple of those and consume them now! hurry, there is no time!"
Her words and the urge in them made everyone stop fighting, and start consuming these bottles at once. as for her, when she went to the central peak, she found the pile Arthur left there half consumed, and thus she consumed the rest!
Arthur kept flying over from peak to another, while he cursed his bad luck! He never thought the source of such deadly poison he had experienced once before came from here!
"If the poison came from here, then that meant there are many dark mages here as well!" he muttered, as he knew this fight had just gotten harder.
However, that didn't prevent him from proceeding in his plans! The presence of such a toxic pocket of enemies just next to his growing city would be disastrous if left untouched.
"I have to kill every single one of them, and make sure there are no such hidden pockets for this dark clan nearby as well." His sight then turned towards the distance, where Lily and others were working.
Lily had consumed the higher grade antidote like him, and that meant she wouldn't be in any danger. However, her warriors would be if they crossed here now!
Lily had just transported the second pile of woods to him, making his own reserves of wood return to increase again. He just finished off all peaks, returned to his own, and his mind was now focusing on one thing.
He needed to make a huge pile of the higher grade potion!
What he used currently was the weaker form he made for clans and guilds out there. This potion might be effective for a short span of time, a day or two, but in the long run it wouldn't be so effective at all!
The problem would be in time needed to do that, as in just these mere confusing minutes, the formations he controlled became useless, his warriors stopped attacking, and monsters gained a good amount of ground during this, even some of the outermost peaks became in danger.
If not for the pets, these peaks might have been just overwhelmed right now! so, he decided to do both at the same time, controlling formations with half mind, and making the potions with the other half.
Once reached his central peak, he cancelled his transformation, while Tina stood there beside him, watching him taking the human form again.
"What is this all about?" she asked.
"It's an invisible dark poison that can spread in the air. I once met it in the world outside of here, and managed to create an antidote for it," he simply explained, before adding, "the antidote I have currently is weak, will protect us for just a day or two, so I will start making better one now, and I hope they don't send more dark attacks soon."
"They?!"
"Dark mages from the outside world, they use arthodox methods in their fight, and it seems they have deep roots here."
He then regained his control over the formations, reactivated them again, and this helped in stopping the current momentum of monsters.
His warriors also returned to attack, driving the monsters back either wounded or dead. The fight returned to be in his favor, but he knew his enemies would start moving soon.
He then took a bird's wing and informed Lily about the presence of poison here, making her not to bring any warrior with her. The toxin once appeared would inhabit the area it spread into, and thus his only hope to win this was to make enough potions to satisfy his warriors' needs.
He just nearly expired his own reserves of potions made for clans and guilds, and thus he even didn't have enough potions to support his warriors for a second round.
"I will scan the sky and see if there is a strange group of people anywhere," Tina suddenly said, when she noticed how busy he was as he started taking out his tools and cauldron.
"If you found any, don't hesitate to kill at sight," he said, without even glancing at her. He was now controlling the formation the best he could, while starting to make the refined version of the potion.
"It's great these guilds and clans supported me with huge amounts of high grade resources," he muttered, as this was something he didn't need to worry about now.
His rings were filled with a huge amount of potion ores and herbs, so he didn't need to search and instantly took out pile after pile of them, putting them into the cauldron at once.
"I have enough bottles to satisfy everyone, I hope," he checked his own reserves of the empty bottles given to him by the clans and guilds from before.
He found them more than enough, making him quite confident in facing this ordeal and emerging victorious. He then started to make the potion while his attention was diverted to control the formations and observing the current fight.
Everything was currently under the control of his warriors, as the monsters returned to be trapped in the valleys, while the huge walls of fire kept raging everywhere, killing them in the valleys and outside the peaks.
However, after a couple of hours, and after Lily came again delivering more batches of woods, while taking enough high grade potions for her warriors, a new change appeared!
The dark mages and warriors started to show up, finally, and their appearance was accompanied by a brutal attack from Tina.
She was eyeing and waiting for their arrival impatiently all this time!
