"Sigh, I don''t have enough resources to feed you with, what a shame," he regretted hisck of resources, as this step could be pushed further by using many treasures, like the heavenly rock in his possession.


    He just gave them a mental order to sleep and finish their evolution. He still didn''t know what to consider them, as pets or as ve monsters, however he didn''t think much about this, as he had other things to do.


    The time for his move against the refusing town and viges would approach soon. From the map Ouly made, he knew the distance between here and the other towns and viges wouldn''t exceed a few hours in flying.


    That meant he would be faced with many wars in the next couple of hours. He nced at everyone around him, they were working so hard already. He had an army of a thousand warriors, but he doubted this number would be enough to intimidate these viges and towns.


    "I think I would use the queen again, or might act in person this time.???


    He thought to himself, while walking again around the city. up till now, no single building waspleted, or even the foundations were raised above the ground. The theories he used to build these buildings required many preparations indeed, and thus it wasn''t surprising to have such a result.


    However he was sure once the foundation stage ended, the buildings would soared into the sky in no time. as he was watching everyone working, he also examined the foundations here and there, feeling satisfied by their firmness and depth.


    Then he went towards the most important area here, the walls. As he instructed, the walls would cover a huge distance in this open stretch ofnd. He needed three hours to go from one side to another, making the size of his city huge already.


    He knew he wouldter expand the city outward, but this would be ater phase, not now.


    The walls building was going smoothly as the buildings inside the city, however he wasn''t that satisfied with their actions. He knew the problem mainlyy in theck of workers, as the number of poption here limited his ns by a lot.


    He just sighed, and before he could move back to the city center, a bird''s wing appeared, carrying only a simple news from Amelia.


    "No one agreed to join us."


    He softly chuckled, as these viges and towns had already chosen the hard way. He then sent a bird''s wing to Amelia, asking her to send Lily to the western wall.


    In less than five minutes, he spotted Lily flying on the back of her Birdy, feeling extremely excited for regaining her ability to fly on its back again.


    "Going for another adventure?" she asked, while he jumped to stand beside her while Birdy continued to fly further.


    He took the map out, spread it in front of his eyes, before he replied:


    "It''s a bunch of small wars so we can grab more workers for our city."


    His words seemed casual, however she knew how mighty and brutal he was when fighting. She just chuckled and said nothing, as she always got much surprise everytime Arthur fought.


    Arthur used the maps to go towards the distant town, as he decided to move from far to near. The flight took two hours before he spotted a much better vige than the one he previously conquered, with primitive walls, small gate, and arge number of army standing in front of the massive size vige they called town.


    "It''s really big," Lilymented, as she could see its full scale from the air. "And they look quite energetic," she added, while pointing to therge army, numbering in thousands, waiting for them at therge vige gate.


    "Let me down there," Arthur pointed towards the ground, where there was only a mile distance between him and this army. "Stay here, and wait for me to finish," he added before he jumped down to the ground, summoned the scorpion queen, before resting calmly over her back.


    The first thing the queen did was to raise her head and eye him with silence. Arthur knew she might be angry, but he couldn''t tell if she was going to be safe after that brutal fight ended or not.


    "Sorry, but I can''t risk losing you in something I don''t know its final oue."


    His words were said, and she stayed looking silently at him for a moment, before one of her two tails gently tapped him on the back. It was her own retaliation from him, like a soft bunch a spoiled girl did to her lover.


    "Let''s have some fun then, see these soldiers out there?" he said, changing the topic at once, while pointing towards the distance, "we need to teach them a lesson, and this time don''t hold back anymore."


    His addition was for the future battles to go smoother. This fight was destined to be brutal, and this was intentionally done by him, so when the news spread out, people would rethink thrice before saying no to him.


    Be my subject peacefully and I wouldn''t mistreat you, be my enemy and reject me, and I would kill your army mercilessly, and enve every single one in your vige.


    That was simply the message he wanted to convey, and he was sure the news would spread faster than anyone could possibly imagine.


    The scorpion queen mistook this as his own way to apologize to her, and frankly she didn''t hold back anymore. She darted fast towards the army, and before they could unleash the arrows to her, she unleashed her long range poisonous attacks towards them.


    Poison fog started to spread, and many soldiers lost their lives already in no time, while others surrounding them got really scared, causing panic and chaos to erupt.


    Arthur didn''t speak a single word or ask them to surrender, as he let the queen do whatever she wanted with them.. He wanted this battle brutality to be known far and wide, so anyone wouldn''t underestimate his offer of peace anymore.
