Picking up Girls With My System

He channeled his power to all of his devotees, sending a mental message to each one of them.

“A horde of beasts attacked Sherekan city. The city fell. All devotes march towards the Jinzaka tribe. We must leave the desert, or else we will all perish.”

It was a simple message that spread to all devotees in an instant. The Jinzaka tribe had already stockpiled more food to shelter all these people, and perhaps they would have to flee from the desert.

“Where should we go after leaving the Jinzaka tribe?” Arthur said.

Wisa was the person who knew more about the lands around the Shukar Empire.

“We can’t go back to our kingdom, as you are a wanted man there. There is only one place around here that we might flee.”.

“What place?”

“The Elven Kingdom.”

“Elven Kingdom?”

“Well, there is one portal at the border of the Shukar Empire. We can use it to teleport there.” Wisa said.

Myria and Lilia had taken a portal just like that one, but in another place. Bill was beside them, hearing all the conversation, and his face brightened when he heard Elven Kingdom.

“Bill, do you know something about the Elven Kingdom?”

“Ah, yes, I do. It is not on this continent, but on the same continent where I came from.”

“Really? The Dragon Scale Empire is near the elves?”

“It is far, but it is on the same continent, so we have a chance of survival. I promise you that my family will help us, even more now that you saved me.”

Arthur believed in Bill, but he did not want to depend on others to survive. He called out Sully, who came flying to give them a ride.

Bill was shocked when he saw that creature. Wyverns were rare, and his Dragon Scale Empire was one of the few places that wyverns could be found, yet there was one right in front of him. Not only that, but it was a tamed wyvern.

“How did you tame a wyvern? Actually, where did you find it in the first place?”

“That is a secret.”

Sully was big enough to carry all of them on his back, and they flew towards the Jinzaka tribe.

They passed above the city that was crumbling into pieces, filled with corpses of the warriors, and the residents. It was a sad scene, but there wasn’t anything Arthur could do to prevent that.

The Jinzaka tribe was still far away, but using the speed of Sully, they would reach it in 4 days.

“We are alive!” Bill said, as he sighed in relief after escaping the city with his life.

“We will be fine, don’t worry.” Arthur said.

He hugged both of his girls to warm up during the frosty night. They were far stronger than Bill, and had little trouble with the weather, but Bill had.

Arthur opened up his magical pouch and tossed a few clothes that were warmer than the ones Bill wore, and also a fur blanket.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. Rest up now. No one will attack us.”

He changed his appearance to his real one after that, and it took Bill by surprise, but he quickly recomposed himself and did not ask.

They did not fall asleep at first, and only did after a couple of hours. Arthur remained awake as he did not need to sleep anymore and protected them.

Just like that, four days pass. On his way to the Jinzaka tribe, Arthur saw his devotees migrating, following his order.

Not only his devotees but also other tribes that got to know about the beast horde and wanted to flee before it was too late. Only a few tribes remained in the same place, saying that they would fight the army if they come. What a joke.

Everyone was there, waiting for Arthur. 2341 devotees. One thing that scared Arthur was that he did not have enough food for all of them inside his magical pouch. After all these trips, he did. It barely had any.

“Akhur, my lord!” Mohe said.

They all bowed and waited for Arthur’s next command. He swept his gaze through the Jinzaka tribe, which was packed with people. One thing he noticed was that each tribe that left its home brought along food as well, and based on his calculations, after talking with Wisa, it could be enough for them to reach the portal.

“All right. Everyone, listen. The desert is not a safe place anymore, and we need to flee. I know that fleeing your home seems like an arduous task, but if we stick together, everything will be all right.”

“There is a portal on the border of the empire, which will send us directly to the Elven Kingdom. This is our best bet,”

“We will rest for the day and leave. Sleep, and pack everything that we need. That’s all.”

All of them obeyed the command that was given to them. Billy watched all of that, and could not help but wonder how did Arthur command these people so easily. Even great kings can’t do that.

The man he was following had lots of secrets, but deep down he sensed Arthur wasn’t a bad person, and could be a great addition to his empire, who was currently at war.

“He seems so strong. Maybe with his help we can win against the dark races?” Bill thought.

Arthur watched everyone gather their things for the trip and put a magic barrier around the tribe if anything went wrong. It was almost impossible, but who knows what could happen in one day?

The people there rested, gathered everything, and in the next day, left. They left their childhood home to venture into another continent.
