Chapter 772 - Discussing The Plan



Arthur knew that speaking to Doaf in front of her was a terrible idea. He gave Doaf a blaming look while the latter shrugged calmly as he said:

"What? She insisted on coming."

Arthur shook his head before Amera said:

"Speak or I\'ll take him and return to the front."

"You need to keep no secrets from her man," Doaf sighed, "you don\'t know how fierce girls would turn out to be in that case."

"Alright," Arthur took a deep breath, "we need to improvise."

"For what?" Amera asked.

"Our plan won\'t work," he said, "there is something terrifying waiting for us."

The two exchanged silent glances before Doaf asked:

"What is it? Have you seen it already?"

Arthur nodded.

"Is it a summoning array?" Amera asked, "if it is then don\'t worry, we can handle it. If not, then my grandmaster can."

"It\'s… not an array," Arthur slowly said, "but to stop it we definitely need arrays."

"So it\'s a weapon," Doaf realized what Arthur was referring to, "can\'t you tell us what it is?"

"No weapon can be terrifying," Amera sneered, "even my grandmaster doesn\'t have such a thing."

"It is," Arthur firmly said, "and you need to believe me in that."

"Not without an explanation," Amera gave him a stubborn look, one that told him she wouldn\'t budge without knowing everything.

"They have some sort of a tower," Arthur said.

"A tower?" Doaf muttered in surprise before suddenly laughing, "are they trying to train themselves in such a time?"

"I have to commend their sense of humor at least," Amera also took this matter lightly, yet Arthur\'s face didn\'t change for the better.

Instead it had a dark look over his face. If these two reacted in such a way towards that threat, then if he wasn\'t here then this world would be gone.

He knew how terrifying that tower was, and it seemed he was the only one feeling this way.

"There are towers dedicated for training, I can acknowledge that," Arthur slowly said while looking them in the eye, "but this one isn\'t. It\'s different."

"How?" Amera asked with a light tone.

"It\'s used to concentrate energy and release it."

"Hmm, like a shooting weapon… Not bad," Amera was still taking this lightly. So Arthur had to say more to make her understand the gravity of this situation.

"It\'s terrifying," he said, "they are sending people inside, mages with high level and power as sacrifices. In my estimate the energy stored inside can detonate the entire planet into shreds."

"…"

This time her face changed drastically while Doaf hurriedly asked in a deep tone: "Are you confident of this news?"

"Very," Arthur instantly replied, "if we don\'t stop them now, we will all die… everyone living here will die."

"I… doubt they did this just to kill themselves," Amera took a deep breath to calm herself out, "there must be another use for that thing beside self destruction."

"If they stored enough power, they can just aim it at the shield above," Arthur pointed to the sky, "and you know the rest."

"But…" Doaf paused as both results were very bad for all of them.

"My grandmaster can\'t allow this to happen, we have to inform her now to strengthen the shield," Amera hurriedly said.

"It\'s no use to tell her," Arthur didn\'t agree with her suggestion, "she already has too much to handle. Our enemy made sure to keep her hands tied and busy. We have to deal with this on our own."

His words alerted the two to a simple fact, yet they totally missed it till now. "Oh, you got an idea," Amera slowly said before her mind started linking the dots, "and you know I won\'t like it."

Arthur kept his silence but his gaze told everything he wanted to say. "What is it?" she asked, "don\'t expect me to sit idle while my world is going to be ruined one way or another."

Arthur hesitated, yet she urged without giving him a chance to argue, "we have to see this through together. I appreciate what you are doing, but this is my world. It\'s my responsibility to defend it."

Arthur could only comply before explaining his plan to the two in brief words.

"The tower is supported with an array. Losing that array means losing control over the power inside. We can\'t risk that! In return I have a way to handle that energy…"

"But?" Doaf understood there was a catch to this plan.

"I can\'t be interrupted even for one second," Arthur said, "their numbers are large and most of them are elites. It\'s a fantasy thinking of us as a force to crush them fast and give me the chance to deal with that energy inside the tower."

"Hmm… What if we called for urgent reinforcements from my grandmaster?" Amera asked after thinking for a brief moment.

"Have you forgotten how we got here?" Arthur shook his head, "we can\'t rely on that."

"Then what should we do?" Doaf asked, "if we moved on them, I bet they would damage that control array fast and let the entire world explode."

"That\'s why we need a diversion," Arthur finally said what he summoned Doaf originally for.

"I doubt anything we do will be enough to divert their attention," Amera shook her head in refusal, "we have to face them head on."

"Willy is right," Doaf didn\'t stand by her side, "we have very low odds in this fight. We can\'t risk that."

"I know," Amera shouted in rage and the three even stopped moving for a brief moment. "But we have nothing else to do!"

"You are wrong," Arthur calmly said, "we have a way out."

"The diversion plan?" Amera seemed to be pissed off that she acted aggressively against him. "Then tell me what is your brilliant plan, genius!"

Arthur didn\'t take her words to the heart and only answered on her question:

"We need to use that summoning array."

"What array?" Doaf asked while blocking the path on Amera to keep venting her frustration over his young master.

"That forbidden ancient summoning array," Arthur calmly said, "the one that links the world with the dark side."
