Chapter 404 - Arrivals.

Yang Dao walked out of his room in the palace and saw that the people all were standing ready to march ahead at his orders. He saw that some people were too old to carry out such a long journey yet they stood there in the crowd with their luggage. 

The mode of transportation was not their feet, Feng Yun had asked all the hot air balloons carriages under the flame palace and fire region army to be used for transporting the old and the sick to the edge of the eternal battlefield. However, this was not enough. 

Yang Dao spotted a lot of strongmen standing at the forefront of the crowd with study horses beside them. He walked over to the people, who greeted them with their heads bowed. He said, "Are all the strongmen going to ignore that they can help the old and ladies ease their sufferings? You all may be thinking what can you achieve from this. Right?" 

The people had a faint blush on their faces, but this was not the end, Yang Dao said, "If you help them, they will bless you. They will idolize the strength of the man, who came to help them in their time of need. It is not hard to be strong. But it is not easy to be acknowledged. Do you not wish to be acknowledged?"

His words made the strong men shiver. They immediately all began to move around and asked, their servants to gather the old and the needy women to ride their convoys. Yang Dao called out for Amber. The people were surprised to see that the older bird was the ring on the Lord's finger. 

He asked, "Go scout ahead." 

Amber nodded and flew away. The people already had their mouths wide open, if she spoke in a human tongue they might die of fright. Yang Dao said, "What are you all waiting for? Let us march ahead and the people follow." 

He turned back to face the crowd and said, "We all will march in five queues, elders in the middle, both sides with women and children, and the outermost layer is to be the men. Any questions?" 

The people did not reply, which meant they understood. Feng Yun followed Yang Dao with the other strong people of the region. After they left the borders of the fire region, a group of strongmen were asked to watch the back of the people. This change was made by Yang Dao to ensure that nobody gets left behind. He was the strongest, and he was at the front so the rest can at least ensure that nobody was left behind. 

The bigger the movement the larger the time it took. Yang Dao however, made sure to reduce the time taken in the journey. He asked the people to follow them in a strict order. They would take a half an hour rest after every two hours of travel. They were not allowed to break the queues and were to rest only at their spots. This way they saved the time to rearrange the convoy again and again. 

The journey was tiring but it brought with it a strange sense of satisfaction. The people have never been so far out of their region. They enjoyed the travel, the sceneries, the new curiosity ignited inside them. They all knew that Yang Dao was the reason behind these sensations inside their hearts. 

...

It has been a week, the people have finally regrouped with the elder people at the edge of the eternal battlefield. Yang Dao said, "You all are to rest here. I will go ahead, to meet the leaders of the three other regions." 

Then he allocated the strongmen to stay put and protect the people. He cast a glance at Feng Yun, who nodded, and the two people walked to the center of the battlefield. Amber had been in contact with Yang Dao through the spiritual connection. She had already told him that the other three forces have arrived at the battlefield. 

The boy was anticipating the upcoming fight with the three lords of the regions. The other side was also very curious about what sort of monster was this kid to challenge them all at the same time. How can there be someone to control all four elements.

Yang Dao had long hair and he walked forward with confident strides and Feng Yun followed him with a faint smile on her face. The phoenix was nothing short of a demon enchantress when it came to her beauty. She said, "Dao, how would you be tackling the opponents?" 

Yang Dao shrugged and said, "How else, we will first talk about it. Then with the mutual agreement of all the people, we will begin the battle. I guess they will agree with cycle duels." 

Feng Yun nodded, and said, "Ofcourse, this is the only feasible way to make you take out all your cards. What is your counter plan?" 

Yang Dao said, "Improvise when the duel begins. Thinking about it will make my mind preoccupied and restrict my adaptability." 

As the two were talking, the people all reached the place from where they could see the encampments of the three lords. He said, "Amber, inform them of my arrival."

Amber was flying overhead, she replied, "Yes, Master. Right away." and she turned into a golden streak in the sky and made her way to the encampments. The colors of the encampments gave away their regions. 

Yang Dao said as he gazed at the colored flags and decorations, "They took us too lightly and came here without any preparation for the other two regions. It might play in our favor. But they could also be hiding a strong card that might counter us in one fell swoop." 

Feng Yun nodded, "Correct, be wary of the region of water. Their guardian is a very cautious person. Amber told me when she came back." 

Yang Dao squinted his eyes and asked, "Why not me?" 

Feng Yun chuckled but before she could answer, a voice sounded, "Are you the King Of Flames?"
