Just as he and others waited, the first wave of mages appeared from a distance. Around two hundred mages descended on the peak from the back of flying pets.
"Lily, go back with them, and help bring more," Arthur ordered, as this batch would help them for a while, and more mages meant less pressure.
"Hmm," Lily gladly complied, before she went with the flying pets back to the camp.
Lily's pet of Lily was their largest, so the next batch would be huge for certain. "Listen up, take your posts following the leaders here, and summon your pets at once," Arthur ordered, as he could feel the ground underneath him trembling faintly from the large number of monsters ascending the mountain.
Arthur had already scanned the mountain, it really had a harsh nature there. The ascension journey wouldn't be that easy for monsters, many would stumble and fall from high altitude, especially when their minds were controlled by their innate desire.
