Chapter 624 - Deciding To Expand His Dominion



Their number was just getting bigger with each passing hour. Amelia took the charge of handling their roles inside the city, while the fake Amanda took the mission of guarding here as precaution of any future attacks.

And Doaf led the others and started their patrols again. This time they were in much higher spirit, all of his forces were. The consecutive victories made them feel invincible, and Arthur felt this.

And this slightly worried him.

After all his enemies didn\'t use their full force, and even his nemesis was now walking leisurely inside his city and forces with no speck of worry over her face.

\'Don\'t worry, she won\'t make a rash thing now,\' the golden dragon said.

"I\'m not worried about her," Arthur muttered, "I\'m just trying to think about her big goal here."

\'As long as the tree is inside me, she can\'t access it unless she enters my body,\' Gege chuckled, \'and if she does so, then consider her already dead.\'

\'Turn her into a slave instead,\' the golden dragon suddenly laughed.

\'You…\' Gege\'s tone was shaking while Arthur laughed, "Alright, stop it you two. Keep the tree watching her," he turned to go back to his city while taking one bird\'s wing and wrote something to Amelia.

As he returned to the city, he found things there were quite chaotic. Despite the hard work of Amelia, Omar, Randy, Ron, Lily, Deem, and others, the number of the incoming villagers was simply unbelievable.

And this was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Hello lord," Deem moved to him once saw him coming from far, "Amelia told me you asked for me."

"Come," Arthur kept his dragonair form as he moved towards the central palace of his grand city. "I want you to expand the city," he said while walking towards the palace.

"I also thought so," Deem sighed, "but to do that we need to use the underground Ley Lines. Frankly… the diagram has already reached its best potential and couldn\'t be exploited any further."

"I didn\'t mean that," Arthur shook his head before adding, "even if we expanded a little, the number coming here is simply outrageous! We need another solution."

Deem was smart and knew Arthur had a plan in his mind. "Anything my lord wants, I\'ll fulfill."

"I need you to build me more cities," Arthur suddenly said and his words made the face of Deem paler for a brief moment. "For me, I\'ve no objection to that. But…"

"Don\'t worry about our forces," Arthur knew what his trusted city builder was worrying about, "those coming here aren\'t all villagers."

"I know," Deem was already aware of this but he didn\'t continue to express his doubts.

Arthur knew this was normal, especially when they were still in a shakable position here in this city. But he had to do that, expand the conflict and make his weakness not concentrated over his heart, but over the wide and spacious armor of his.

Even if he lost some cities later on, at least his capital and main base would be still peaceful. He saw it as gaining shield for his city until it grew strong enough to shield other cities as well.

And now his main concern was related to how many cities should be built and where.

Once entered the palace, he went towards a side room where he started his long meeting with Deem.

A big map was drawn by him, under the control of his system and the guidance of the tree with the help of Gege. He drew a huge map where the main terrain of this planet appeared and also the major forces.

"This…" Deem was surprised to see such a detailed map, and Arthur was also sharing the same surprise but he controlled it deep within.

"Don\'t ask," Arthur simply avoided any unneeded questions by this, "now as you can see we have cleared a large area around where these academies were stationed."

He pointed to the five places of the five academies he just crushed. "Each contains great treasures and big fortunes. People, clans, mages, and even ores… everything there must be ours."

Arthur pointed towards a small circle over the big map. Even if he was speaking about a huge stretch of lands here, it was just a small piece compared to the gigantic lands of the planet here.

"But doing so will put us in front of these forces," Deem pointed towards a group of around nine academies and dozens of big clans which would surround the new territory of his lord.

"You worry about how to build these cities and leave the fighting to me," Arthur said before adding, "I want you to start expanding outwards, and during this I need you to make use of a grand diagram."

"What diagram?" Deem was surprised and his interest was instantly piqued by the last words of Arthur.

"This diagram," Arthur then took out another paper and started to draw over it. This time the system was following the words of the golden dragon, as he was the one who suggested this.

"This…" yet Deem was shocked the more he drew. "I never thought of such a diagram before," he started to be restless even before Arthur finished.

"What\'s it used for?" the moment Arthur ended the drawing, he hurriedly took it and started studying it so deep.

"Hahaha, first tell me your thoughts," Arthru said while he himself didn\'t know all the details except for the general uses of the diagram.

"It\'s brilliant," Deem honestly said, "even I wouldn\'t think of using the grand terrain in this way."

"Use this as the base then," Arthur pointed to the triangular drawing, "this will be the template used for building any further city."

"I understand," Deem said, "but are you sure it\'s compatible with the Ley Lines in this world? I lack further info regarding the entire Ley Lines here."

"Don\'t worry," Arthur relayed the answer he got from his golden dragon, "the Ley Lines follow the same grand diagram everywhere. All you need to do is to unlock it at some point and then repeat it afterwards."

"Wise words," Deem nodded, "when do you want me to start?"

"Now," Arthur said, "I\'ll go out and secure the places with my army, and you just use the grand people we have in something useful."

"I will."

Arthur then let him leave before writing a simple letter to Amelia telling her briefly about the plan. He hesitated before warning her to tell anyone outside her and Deem of this, as he wanted this to be his grand secret.

He knew the plan of expansion would be known to his enemy lurking here, but he preferred for the entire diagram concept to remain hidden.

\'She will discover it eventually,\' the golden dragon warned.

"At least not now," Arthur sighed, "I hope we can get more intel from her."

\'I\'m keeping an eye over her,\' Gege said, \'also I left a hidden portal here so you can come here in mere seconds if things happened.\'

"Great," Arthur was now flying away from the city, "have you relayed the news to Doaf and others?"

\'I used the tree to do so,\' Gege sighed, \'you should use your bird\'s wings instead for such things.\'

"I would next time," he apologized, "are they near?"

\'They are now expanding around the area you marked with Deem,\' Gege replied, \'they are now divided into smaller teams, each is heading to secure one location.\'

Arthur arranged a dozen of places for twelve cities to be built first. "What about the enemy?" he asked.

\'Most of places are void of any,\' Gege said, \'but nearby there are a good number of enemies they had to clear.\'

"Good, relay this info to them so they would act instantly."

\'I did.\'

Arthur then headed with his dragon army and werewolf towards a certain direction. In his diagram there were fixed points acting as the axis of it. he didn\'t tell Deem anything about these points, as it would be better to keep this hidden.

Striking down these points would render the entire diagram paralyzed. He didn\'t want to see that. In addition to this, this point had the densest enemies so far, strangely like they knew the importance of it beforehand.

In less than half a day \'s flight they arrived there. "Amazing scene," he muttered as a gigantic lake with white beach and nearby forest welcomed his eyes when he got near that place. "We will build the city on the lake, right?"

\'Indeed,\' the golden dragon said, \'the scenery here is priceless.\'

"I agree," Arthur nodded before turning his gaze to spot the large number of mages and monsters on the horizon where they surrounded a large camp. "They are planning to take this place as their stronghold."

\'This is just the remnants of the last academy forces,\' Gege said before adding, \'and this place acted as the main base of operation for the army which came to attack us before.\'
