Chapter 673 Looks Like It\'ll Be Just Us Two
After their passionate encounter, Archer withdrew from Halime\'s slick folds, his seed and her love juices flowing out like a waterfall. He swiftly cast a cleansing spell on himself before tenderly kissing Halime\'s forehead and leaving the room.
As he stepped outside, the voices of four girls reached his ears. Curious, Archer approached to find Llyniel, Teuila, Leira, and Hecate sitting together. Although Llyniel, Teuila, and Hecate seemed relaxed, Leira wore a troubled expression.
Archer sighed, sensing the tension. "What\'s wrong now?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
The cat girl\'s gaze fell to the ground as she replied softly, "I needed to cleanse my system to regulate my moonblood cycle. I\'m not pregnant, Arch."
He noticed Leira\'s troubled expression as she spoke softly about her concerns. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, reassuringly touching her shoulder.
"Leira, it\'s okay," he said gently, his voice filled with understanding. \'\'We\'re still young and have plenty of time to think about starting a family. Right now, let\'s focus on caring for ourselves and each other."
She looked at him, her green eyes reflecting gratitude for his understanding. "Thank you, Archer," she murmured, a hint of relief in her voice.
Archer smiled warmly at her before turning to Hecate, who was nearby. "Hecate," he called out, catching her attention. "Could you do me a favor?"
Hecate nodded, curious about what he needed. "Of course, Archer. What do you need?"
He glanced back at Leira before turning back to Hecate. "Could you cast a pregnancy prevention spell on everyone? Just to be safe."
As she realized the situation, Hecate\'s expression shifted to one of understanding. "Of course, Archer. I can do that before I head to the shop.\'\'
"Thank you, Hecate. Would you like to spend some time together tonight?" Archer commented as he approached the moon elf.
Hecate smiled before walking toward the bedroom where Halime was sleeping. Archer turned to Llyniel and Leira, who appeared tired, and suggested, "Why don\'t you two go back to bed? We have hours until the tournament starts."
Llyniel glanced at Leira and nodded before the duo returned to the bedroom, leaving Archer alone with Teuila. The blue-haired girl turned to him with a grin. "Looks like it\'ll be just us two."
\'\'That\'s good. I love spending time with you, Teu. Now, let\'s see Aisha and Mohamet,\'\' Archer said as he opened a Gate to the Bastion.
Archer motioned for Teuila to pass through and followed her when she vanished into the violet portal. When he stepped through, they appeared in the fortress\'s courtyard, causing every surrounding soldier to kneel in respect.
He greeted them with a nod before leading Teuila into the hall. After telling a guard to summon Aisha, he started looking for Mohamet and soon found the old man talking to a group of men and women.
The human general he met all those years ago turned to him with a happy smile while greeting him with a salute, \'\'Your Majesty. How can I help you?\'\'
\'\'Who are all these people, Mohamet?\'\' Archer questioned.
In the grand hall of the Draconian Palace, Mohamet stood before Archer, Teuila, and a group of men and women, their faces reflecting reverence and loyalty. With a commanding presence, Mohamet introduced the leaders of his army and other elite units.
"The White Dragon Archer, it is my honor to present the leaders of our mighty legions and battalions, who will serve you with unwavering loyalty and dedication."
He gestured to the first pair of warriors standing beside him. "First, I present to you Lucian Nightshade and Elara Ravensong, the Dragon Marshals of the First Legion. Their courage and strategic prowess are unmatched, and they shall lead their legion with honor and valor."
With his imposing presence and steely gaze, Lucian Nightshade nodded in acknowledgment. Beside him, Elara Ravensong, radiating strength and determination, offered a respectful bow.
Mohamet turned to the next pair of warriors. "Next, we have Alistair Shadowblade and Thalia Evergreen, the Dragon Marshals of the second Legion. Their cunning and skill in battle are renowned, and they shall lead their legion with wisdom and foresight."
Alistair Shadowblade, clad in shadows that seemed to dance around him, inclined his head in deference. Thalia Evergreen, with her connection to nature evident in every aspect of her being, offered a serene smile.
Moving on, Mohamet introduced the leaders of the Dragon Marshals.\'\'Presenting Kieran Darkwater and Darian Silverleaf, the Dragon Marshals of the 3rd Legion Dragon. Their loyalty and dedication to you are unwavering, and they shall lead their legion with honor and integrity."
Kieran Darkwater, his eyes ablaze with determination, nodded solemnly. With her calm demeanor and resolute spirit, Darian Silverleaf stood beside him with a sense of quiet strength.
Mohamet then introduced the leaders of the other units, each one kneeling before Archer as a sign of utmost respect as they introduced themselves:
"Arianne Stormborn, Commander of the Homeguard Battalion."
"Evelina Emberheart, Leader of the Dragon Legionaries."
"Cassius Stormborn, Master of the Drakelord Knights."
"Rodrick Emberheart, Leader of the Dragonfang Battalions."
As each leader knelt before Archer, their commitment and loyalty were noticeable, their unwavering dedication to their kingdom and its ruler evident in every gesture. After that, Mohamet motioned him to sit on the throne he had constructed.
When Archer sat on the throne, it felt comfortable before dragging Teuila onto his lap as he took out the papers he completed earlier. He handed it to Mohamet, who started reading it as his eyes widened.
The old man looked at him with shock as he asked, \'\'You want the army to build farms, roads, ports, and everything else? Why would you do such a thing?\'\'
\'\'Bored soldiers grow restless, general. We need to keep them busy, and because the work is for the kingdom, they would be happy to help. Now summon every soldier available to relocate large amounts of labor,\'\' Archer answered before opening a portal to the domains of many cities and villages.
Archer then announced to everyone inside that the Draconia Kingdom was ready and needed people to work the farms and help the economy grow. When he finished speaking, there was a loud cheer.
From the people he stole from the Chuch Of Light, the orphans he took in, and the millions of humanoids who wanted to help Archer. Once hearing that, he turned to Mohamet, who was giving orders before speaking, \'\'Give me half an hour, Your Majesty. I will dispatch people to construct a tent city for now.\'\'
He nodded, \'\'Okay. I will build the western and southern walls before I return. How many soldiers do we have, Mohamet?\'\'
The old man stretched his beard and replied, \'\'Just over two million, Your Majesty. We have three full legions of light and heavy infantry, cavalry, and ranged units. We don\'t have enough Healers or support staff, so the soldiers have tried their best to fill those roles.\'\'
Archer didn\'t answer immediately as he thought of ways to earn money before speaking: \'\'Hold on a second, Mohamet. Let me think for you a second, but who can tell me some popular expensive plants we can sell in bulk?\'\'
That\'s when he saw Evelina, the leader of the Dragon Legionaries, raise her hand, causing him to motion for her to speak, \'\' Your Majesty. They would be Astraloria - Valethorn - Chronosia - Arkania.\'\'
His confused expression caused Evelina to grin before explaining, \'\'Well, Astraloria is used in enough makeup and women\'s products that the large trading guilds will pay a lot of gold to acquire. Then there\'s Valethorn, an ingredient for the high-end health potions the Novgorod and Nightshade Empires love to buy.\'\'
Archer was interested and inquired in a curious tone, \'\'What about the other two?\'\'
Evelina smiled before continuing, \'\'Chronosia is used in mana potions to boost its effects, while Arkania is a rare tea favored by every noble and lord on Thrylos.\'\'
\'\'Interesting. Where can these be found?\'\' Archer washed
The woman with light brown hair and blue eyes started to think to herself before speaking, \'\'Verdantia. Especially the Novgorod Empire, which has many private gardens that grow a lot of rare ingredients.\'\'
Archer nodded as he grinned, \'\'I\'ll empty the domain of people, Mohamet. Make sure they\'re comfortable and have Aisha arrange for them to have jobs.\'\'
That\'s when he remembered something and spoke, \'\'Also select one thousand men and assign them to start collecting taxes. Make it three gold a month from every citizen old enough to pay and who has work or some profession, and if they complain, tell them that their coin will pay for the improvement of the kingdom and not to fill my pockets.\'\'
