The fight kicked off fiercely from the start. Arthur stood high in the air watching the fight while his attention was focused mainly over the flying islands.
This was his first time seeing these islands in a real fight.
The islands weren't only big behemoths in the air, but they used a myriad of attacks. The deadliest attacks were the fire pillars and the rock rain that fell from the high up islands.
They didn't need to use anything to make the rocks deadly. After all, the traction force exerted by gravity was enough to turn a small rock into a deadly weapon.
In addition to that, he noticed many turrets on top of the islands. These turrets used all kinds of siege weapons to attack his ground troops.
But as the turrets were mainly designed for defense, their limited range was the main disadvantage about these turrets.
In addition to that, each island was lined with big and strong looking walls. The walls were on the edge of the islands, which allowed the mages there to fight using their bows and arrows and even their long ranged offensive attacks.
And that was nothing compared to those higher realmers who were on these islands.
As Arthur guessed, the islands were filled with those weak dark clans from higher realms. He even spotted numerous clan grandmasters fighting fervently with all their might.
But in return, his ground troops were doing quite well actually despite all these attacks. The defensive shields at the bottom stood tall in front of all these attacks.
Some cracked and few shattered. But most of the shields sustained heavy damage assaulting them.
And the cannons Agnus created were really OP! They kept firing at the islands, hitting their defensive shields violently and caused deep cracks all over them.
But after one hour of such a fight, not a single shield was cracked open.
"They need a little hand here," Arthur muttered, "bring a group of five originals to each island."
'Only group of five?!' Gege was surprised to hear his request.
'Ding! It's not wise to reveal your true strength this early in war,' the system explained before the golden dragon added:
'The enemy knows we have a limited number of originals. If we recklessly used a large number of them, he will be alarmed and might change his plans.'
'I see,' Gege complied and opened eleven portals, each close to one island. Arthur watched the majestic appearance of his originals with satisfied eyes.
"They will be enough to crack the shields of the protective islands," Arthur said while focusing his eyes on the central island, the main base he wanted to crush here. "But this one… it's shield didn't even budge no matter how many attacks hit it!"
It was obvious that this island was special. The cannons of Agnus were really domineering against all shields except the shield of that main base.
'Should I summon more?' Gege asked before hurriedly adding, 'I mean from other forces we have.'
"Not now," Arthur didn't hurry to give such an order, "we have to clear the other islands first. Tell Agnus to make his cannons fire solely over the main base once we crush the shields."
'Preparing for full assault?' the golden dragon asked the obvious.
"Yeah, inform Nara that her forces will be responsible for taking over the ten islands," Arthur paused before adding, "and let Doaf, Amera, and others be ready to help in case things went south."
'What about the originals?' Gege asked while the originals started bombarding the shields of all islands, including the main base as well, 'shall I recall them back?'
"No," Arthur's eyes were fixed over one island which would be the first to have its shield crushed, "let them go and attack freely inside."
'Didn't you say…' Gege stopped by the golden dragon who explained again:
'It's to expose what tricks that bastard prepared for our originals.'
'Aha,' Gege realized this before she added, 'I've informed everyone. Once the shields are down, I'll open portals to pour out as many of our forces as possible.'
"Make sure to distribute the forces evenly," Arthur instructed, "and start with a small amount first. Don't rush everything fast."
'... Ok!' Gege wanted to ask but she held up her tongue. She didn't like to be lectured by the golden dragon and the system every single time she wanted to ask about something.
Instead she returned to peek inside Arthur's mind. She realized his plan and felt how naive and impulsive she was.
Arthur wanted to use the initial attack to test all the defensive traps that the dark angel grandmaster installed in these islands.
Discovering everything early on would help in later fights. After all, the grandmaster of the dark angel clan would provide the same traps in all islands.
So it wasn't a big loss to let few troops die at first hours of this war to save much more later on.
Gege informed Nara not to send her biggest and strongest troops out. Arthur wanted to sacrifice those weak troops first as fodders. So she instructed Nara that not a single evolved mecha would be released out there.
But this was quite a challenging request in fact. As most of the mechas evolved.
'Can I use other troops there?' Gege asked when she realized the troops available from the mecha legions weren't enough, 'like the skeletons.'
"Not enough troops?" Arthur realized the issue that made him proud. "Alright, send other weak troops out there first."
'On it,' Gege went to distribute the orders while Arthur felt great pride in his accomplishment. It was a thing to be happy about regarding the amount of his evolved troops.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
Just like a hill getting shattered by an explosion, the first defensive shield fell.
"Now!" Arthur's eyes gleamed with blue light while watching a large number of portals open inside the conquered island.
At the same time, the five originals who crushed the shield moved in and started their massacre.
"Let's see what you hid inside these islands, dirty master," Arthur slowly muttered while anticipating what would happen next.
And the dark angel grandmaster didn't disappoint him!
