Chapter 251 - Gaining Dozen Warehouses Full Of Weapons
Arthur's move caused more fear inside the souls of those around him. his speaker, Merick, moved forward, with no fear, instead he was full of anticipation.
Removing the seal was always considered a long lost dream to most of those living underneath the slavery in this world.
"Stop and don't move."
Arthur then put his hand over Merick's head, and inserted part of his energy into Merick's body. While he was doing that, some fools mistook this as a careless sign from him, and instantly hundreds moved from the huge crowd around, pushing others to the floor, while raising their weapons on him.
The next moment a shadow of the dragon appeared, startling everyone, even those coming to attack hurried to stop, stumbling their tracks, and falling to the floor.
For Arthur the matter didn't take a moment there, and he noticed these hidden traitors early, but didn't react. He was about to summon the scorpion queen here when they approached him, but it seemed his dragon shadow was enough to scare them.
As for the tattoo and its malicious mouth shade, they were successfully removed by his dragonair energy. "It's all done, go and execute those traitors for me," he said.
"L-Lord…" Merick stuttered, couldn't believe his own eyes. The next moment he ripped off his armor and clothes to see the place on his shoulder, the cursed seal was gone!
"I'm free, the lord is right in his promise. Go and kill those traitors!" he shouted at his men, and instantly a ruckus occurred everywhere; as power of gossip and whispers showed its worth at this moment.
As a small fight erupted, and ended without any suspense, Merick came towards Arthur, knelt on the floor, leading all others here to kneel, and others beyond Arthur's perception and eyesight to kneel as well.
"Listen, I have no time to waste here. you have a maximum of six hours. Anyone who wants to be freed and follow my move against this tyrant clan has to come inside this world in less than this time, or else the portal will be shut down by me."
He paused as he recalled his initial purpose of coming here. "Is there any treasure or protected buildings here?" he asked.
"There are dozens of huge warehouses full of special weapons, my lord. And our villages and towns are proficient in making weapons in all kinds," Merick respectfully answered.
"Siege weapons?" Arthur asked with shining eyes.
"All kinds of weapons, my lord."
The answer of Merick made Arthur chuckle. "Come, lead the way to those warehouses and let everyone gather every single piece of treasure, tools, and weapons they have here and follow me to the portal."
Merick then took a minute to relay orders, and instantly the place turned into a buzzing place, brimming with movement, or to be specific, running.
Merick led Arthur without saying a single word inside this large town, and they ended up in a huge section full of large buildings, with a defensive array surrounding them all. "Here are the dozen warehouses my lord asked for," Merick said.
"Good, go now and finish your preparations. I don't need to waste more time, six hours only Merick, don't delay further." Arthur had to warn him again, as he didn't want to lose all these good treasures, a talented population included.
"At once, my lord. I promise you in a couple of hours we will all move inside carrying everything here, even the buildings itself," Merick promised.
"Ah one more thing," Arthur stopped him in tracks, "when entering the world, don't bother with monsters. I will set a protective shield enough to hold all your population. Just stand there and wait for me to take you out. So, take all needed food and water, enough to last you for a week."
Arthur didn't want to stop his invasion, especially over the twenty places right now. so, he decided to first let them live inside the forest until he completely secured the twenty pillars.
"Also make your men ready, in one hour most this shield will be destroyed by me. move everything inside with you, leave nothing there left for Dorfis clan to reap after we leave," he added, as dozens of warehouses would need time to sweep clean.
"Sure, I will note that," Merick replied, then headed fast towards the distance. Arthur didn't bother with him, as he transformed into a dragon in the next moment, and started battering the shield with his fire.
The shield wasn't meant to be so strong to stop external invasion it seemed, as in half an hour it was all shattered. Arthur went then directly towards one of the huge buildings and entered it.
What welcomed him was a similar warehouse to the ones he visited before, with many levels and long rows stretching to the other distant end. He moved to one of the rows and examined the weapons lying over there.
"What a great gain!" he chuckled as he took one of the swords lying on the square piece of wood, with others like it lying there calmly waiting to be looted.
The sword wasn't like the bloodied sword of his, but it was practically better than any other sword he had seen so far. According to his knowledge of forging, this was a really fine piece, greatly crafted and well made.
"Great, now I can't rest assured from the lack of weapons in my growing city," he muttered while glancing at the distance, checking if there was a portal hidden anywhere there.
However he didn't find the same dome shaped structure here. He exited the warehouse after taking the sword into his inventory, then soared the sky, taking a single round over the buildings, making sure none had such a transparent dome.
"Good, all settled here then," he muttered, as all the buildings here lacked such a dome.. He then headed back towards the portal, noticing the big moves everywhere from the villagers, and directly entered it.
