Chapter 945: Hundreds Of Years


    ?


    Weeks passed since the trap happened, and Archer was angry with himself for falling into the trap of Central continents. However, he could do nothing then, so he decided to implement the underwater aspect of his army.


    While nning things, Teu and Lucrezia entered his office, causing him to smile at the two women. He stopped working before looking up while speaking, "Hello, my beauties. What brings you here?"


    The mosasaur woman spoke, "We''ve been thinking, along with Aisha, that we can bring even more people here by transporting them in the Wyldheart Deep Sea vessels."''


    When Archer heard this, his eyebrow raised before exining, "They won''t be ready for


    another two weeks, but when they are, you can use them to bring in more people as


    recruitment has slowed down."


    "That''s because you have over twenty legions of loyal warriors ready to die for you," Teumented. "You''ve enlisted every young man and woman across Draconia. There are so many forts that it feels like no one can invade this ce."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Archer chuckled upon hearing the blue-haired princess. He gestured for her toe closer, and as she approached, he gently lifted her onto hisp while Lucrezia settled herself on his desk.


    "Well, if I want to expand Draconia, I need more soldiers, but it looks like I''ll have to pause recruitment for the legions and Homeguards," he muttered. "The navy needs sailors, and the underwater legions also require people."


    Afterward, Archer sent a message to Aisha, directing her to suspend recruitment for the legions and Homeguards while focusing on expanding the navy and underwater forces. She acknowledged the new directive and assured him it would be handled promptly.


    Once Archer did that, he turned his attention to the woman looking at him and smiled, "Do youdies want to go out and get dinner?"


    The duo agreed with a smile before telling him they had to get ready, which he agreed with with a nod. Following that, the women left, and Archer approached the bath chambers so he could take a bath.


    He stepped into the room and felt the hot steam hitting his face before walking to therge bath. Archer took off his clothes while getting into the hot water and lying back to rx as his body was tired.


    Archer spent hours making love to all the womenst night, and most were still sleeping even though it was early evening. While washing himself, he sends a message to the White Knightmander, Eldric, informing him that they are going out.


    The ck dragon said he would send a century with him when Archerined about [Eldric! I don''t need a hundred knights to eat. It''s not like the people will assassinate me]


    Afterward, he began by washing himself thoroughly. Once finished, he dried off and wore soft, loose-fitting blue clothes that felt incrediblyfortable. Archer then went to the pce''s entrance and couldn''t wait to leave.


    ''It''s been a week since I left this ce,'' he thought as the cold air brushed against his skin.


    It had been snowing for thest two weeks, thanks to the Homeguards, who cleared the roads and streets. Since returning from Mediterra, the legions have been building more viges, towns, and cities across Draconia as refugees were sleeping in a sea of tents.


    Archer was happy to see the ind transform into a self-sufficient kingdom that could grow all the food people needed while hundreds of mines were spread across Draconia. The Deep Sea Mining tforms have been bringing in unlimited resources thanks to five in service. Demetra, Teu, Mary, and Lucrezia guarded them against many sea monsters until they learned not to attack the shields. He had learned that the Wyldheart Company had only mined one percent of the avable ocean, which excited him.


    All this mining allowed Archer to construct an underwater vessel resembling a fantastical submarine built to transport war machines. Archer was designing many war systems, and the legions found themselves constantly training.


    While waiting for the women to get ready, he saw a bench to sit on and rx while thinking. Once he did that, Aisha sent a message that a ship had just arrived, bringing news that thest ind''s fortifications had beenpleted.


    Archer made sure that two legions were stationed on each one so that they could train against each other. He kept the first to the tenth as his legions, which excited the men. After thinking for a while, Teu, Lucrezia, and Nefertiti appeared.


    Each girl was wearing a winter dress that covered their arms and chest while having a thick cloak wrapped around them. The subus approached him with a beaming smile as she spoke, "Darling. I''m sorry I haven''t seen you for a few days. I''ve been developing Arcane Runes that can protect the underwater bases."


    "Thank you for helping the kingdom, Nefi," he said while grabbing her thick waist and pulling her toward him before kissing her.


    When they separated, he continued, "I love you, Nefertiti Sharifi; I''m happy we met that day in Zenia."


    The pink-haired woman nodded sweetly before hugging him tightly and whispering, "I love you too, my darling."


    Archer''s smile broadened as he greeted Teu and Lucrezia, their faces lighting up with delight. The Imperial Knights soon arrived, some aboard a carriage that would be their mode of transport for the night.


    He waved the women aboard and settledfortably before Archer climbed into the carriage and addressed the driver, "Take us to one of the port cities. I''d like to see one for myself."


    With the pce receding in the distance, the carriage rolled out, nked by the Imperial Knights-now rebranded and tasked with providing protection. They kept a respectful distance, close enough to intervene if needed but far enough not to encroach.


    The journey was peaceful as the three women gossiped about thetest rumors about a Dragon Marshal sneaking about with the female soldiers and his harem beating him over it. When Archer heard that, heughed but shook his head while looking outside the window.


    He saw many people traveling along the road, most stopping off at a Waystation as the carriage passed. Archer saw small farms dotting the distance with herds of monsters that resembled cows and pigs.


    Farmers tended the fields even as the sunset on the kingdom andmpost lit up the road. He was amazed at what he had achieved since waking up all those years ago. It took them another twenty minutes to reach a recentlypleted city named Dragonhold.


    The carriage was let straight through as the Homeguards saluted. When entering the city, Nefertiti eximed excitedly, "There''s a good restaurant that opened just outside the noble


    district."


    Archer instructed the driver to take them to the location Nefertiti had rmended. After a ten-minute journey, they arrived, and the Imperial Knights swiftly encircled the building to


    ensure their safety.


    He got out first and helped the three women, who smiled at him before Nefertiti approached the entrance, followed by Teu and Lucrezia. Archer watched them pass him as his eyes roamed over their bodies.


    When the subus walked past him, he pinched her soft behind before squeezing Teu and Lucrezia''s bum, which made the three women yelp. The blonde mosasaur spun on him with


    narrowed eyes.


    Archer gave her a cheeky grin before using his tail to p her behind, which caused her to fall onto him. He grabbed her by the waist and stole a kiss, which caused Lucrezia''s smile to grow.


    He did the same for the other two before entering the restaurant. A waiter bowed toward the group and greeted him. Once the greetings were over, the young man led them to a private


    room.


    When the group arrived, Archer turned to the waiter, ordered three of everything, and asked how much it would cost. The young man did some quick math and said five gold coins for all


    the dishes.


    Archer gave him ten, which caused the waiter to be grateful before he rushed off to sort out their orders. The three women sat down as Lucrezia informed him with a knowing smile, "Do you know I''ve spoken to the tform managers and showed them several ces with massive Manaheart Crystal veins? It willst the kingdom hundreds of years."


    ''How?'' he thought with a baffled expression, but Teu exined, "We''ve scouted everything between the ind and Death Mist and found hundreds of underground caves that


    led to Manaheart veins."


    "You''re using the crystals to power your train project? What else will they be used for?" Nefertiti asked as she sipped wine Lucrezia had taken from her storage ring. "Everything, my subus, "Archer answered. "Dagny, alongside her grandmother Deh, has created a machine that can charge the crystal using my mana, but I have to go fill up the machines once a month."


    The three women nodded before Lucreziamented, "I remember when I first came to Draconia; it was emptynd with barely any roads and the Bastion alongside several tent cities, but now look? You''ve built a paradise."''


    Hearing the mosasaur''s praise, Archer continued, "This is just the beginning; I''ve got the First Legion building a food warehouse so the kingdom can store several years'' worth of food and water, which will be added too weekly."


    "You mentioned airships? What are those?" Teu asked with a smile while looking at him.
