This added more to Arthur''s task, but he was satisfied greatly by what he gathered so far. After three hours down there, he finally gave the signal to retreat, as his ring was now almost full. He didn''t jump over Birdy''s back, as he returned to the top, collecting all the ore pieces that he could reach.


    "Ok, I will leave these rocks for you," Arthur said after they reached the top. The sight of the whole forest around them changed drastically, as many trees were not dismantled by the hooves of these enraged monsters. Arthur could now see for miles around the mountain, and everywhere he could spot was full of monsters running like crazy towards here.


    He left enough amounts of explosive rocks, wooden spears, and meat to satisfy their needs for hours. He had to return to the camp again, and let the group there cook the monsters he had collected.


    He had to empty his ring, as living monsters were now more useful than dead, besides he could kill any monster anytime he wanted.


    He left Amelia as acting leader here, plus Gregory and Clovert to help her, with Omar and Randy controlling their mages, he was sure nothing would happen, nothing from the monsters'' side.


    He knew such a bigger motion, simr to the one he pulled few days ago, would cause more suspicion and attract the watchful eyes to them. he wasn''t worried this time, as his strength was now sufficient to face a group of mages without being worried, unless he faced a master from the academy, and he highly doubted that.


    As for finding out their location and identity, he wasn''t that worried. After all, they were now way much deeper into the forest, far away from his n''s territory. Arthur intended once he finished with the monster guarding the heavenly garden, he would retreat, silently, in a stealth way, so no one could spot him or his team.


    He knew the day of his return to the n was getting near, and by this he would face a lot of troubles that he had to deal with so soon. He still didn''t know how much distance was there between the n and the academy.


    If that opposing n didn''t intend to move when he returned, he would take the initiative, defeat them, and join theirnds and people to his own. He nned to use the time given to him as much efficiently as possible, gathering any suitable mage candidate from hisnds, and thends around him, even if he had to use force.


    After all, he was a mighty person in terms of his n and those around him. It wasn''t hard going on a conquest, making all thends around him surrender and follow his rule, but he didn''t want to cause much trouble, especially when he intended to leave the n and never return except after quite some time.


    The distance between his two camps wasn''t that much, as he didn''t feel time when he reached the camp. It was already past noon, as the sunlight was getting fader and fader by time. He knew when he returned back, night would strike and he would have to wait till morning then.


    Once reached there, he hurriedly jumped off Birdy, before he checked everything there. nothing major happened, except a few monsters attacking, but they were stopped in ce with the help of their pets.


    Arthur took this moment as he made each mage have another pet, a rhinoceros. By this he was reassured, as this ce was too much for one horned monsters like their pythons.


    "I will leave these bodies for you to cook, make sure to cook them fast, and be wary of the night, as the scent might attract monsters to you. If anything happened, you know what to do," Arthur said after he filled the entire ce with the bodies of the dead monsters. The ce scene had changed, and even the emptied space they created started to be full.


    Arthur then left, with Lily, while he instructed her to return fast before nightfall. When he returned to the camp, he was d to find everything was going smoothly like he hoped.


    Lily then left, and Arthur then took his ce on top of the carcass. As the night was already here, the explosions created a massive light shade that could be seen from far distance away. Arthur wasn''t worried this time from getting spotted, as he wanted to be spotted so he could return home safely.


    The battle continued without any trouble until midnight, where a sh of light appeared so suddenly just next to Omar, who was startled at first, then his face started to look gloomy.


    He left his spot at once, while he went straight towards Arthur, who saw what just happened from his ce up there. Arthur jumped from the top of the carcass and met Omar midway, with Ameliaing fast from far, as she had a bad omen.


    "It''s Madly, she sent a distress message, saying they are under attack from mages, approximately a group of twenty, and they are very powerful," Omar hurriedly said, as he was so worried about the youths back there.


    Arthur suddenly got extremely angry. Something didn''t add up, as he was now using a very strong attraction method to make all the eyes be focused on him here, how then these mages appeared there? he left with Madly and the others rhinoceros, so they wouldn''t fall this easily, this fast.


    "Clovert," Arthur yelled, as he clenched his fists, arched his legs, before jumping to the top of the carcass in one go, then he jumped again toy on the back of Clovert''s pet.


    "I will leave here to you, when I finish I wille back. Be careful of any ambush here or there, as they might attack here as well."


    Arthur then motioned to Clovert, who ordered his pet to move as fast as it could, while saying, trying tofort Arthur:


    "Don''t worry, they will be fine."


    Arthur just nodded, and didn''t speak to him. inside his ring, he started to massively produce the explosive rocks. He knew whoever dared to attack his friends must be some strong mages, who would be very difficult to deal with.


    The only question he had in mind was how they discovered here? did they follow Lily when going back? But it wasn''t that dark yet, and their attacks weren''t that noticeable, or they had been watching them all this time from far, concealing their aura?


    He didn''t find the answer, and he intended to interrogate them until he got one.. In less than twenty minutes, with the maximum speed of flight of Clovert''s pet, they were able to see the distant garden and the camp there.
