?Archer and Aisha made love throughout their journey to Drakonia City, making the trip uncomfortable for the man driving the carriage, who wisely chose to ignore the rocking and screams inside.

When they passed through the gates and headed for the Homeguard Fort inside the city, Aisha was in a pleasure-filled daze, a silly smile plastered on her face. Archer cast Cleanse on the two of them and used wind magic to clear the carriage of the smell of sex.

That’s when the carriage suddenly stopped on the main street, and the door swung open to reveal Kassandra and Demetra stepping inside with smiles on their pretty faces. The Kraken girl quickly announced, ”Tonight, we are showing you our new clothes, Arch.”

Archer nodded as excitement caused his eyes to glow before Demetra sniffed the air and commented with a grin, “I smell old blood, but it’s still there.” she looked at him then at Aisha, who avoided eye contact as she questioned. ”Did you take her virginity? I bet you ravaged her by the way she’s behaving.”

Archer liked her straightforwardness. He was about to reply with a, but Demetra continued, “When our relationship develops, can you take mine?”

Surprised, he agreed, “Yes, but we won’t rush. I’ll take everyone on dates like I’ve been meaning to, but something always distracts me,” he said before continuing. ”It will start with you three because the others are helping their homelands.”

“Do you plan to help them out?” Kassandra inquired.

“Of course. Once I deal with the traitors, I’ll wait for the 2nd Fleet to be finished before sailing to the Aquaria Kingdom. Then, we’ll head north, decimating the Swarm as we reclaim the lost cities,” he revealed, causing both women to nod.

Demetra turned her attention to Aisha, who looked shocked at seeing the newcomers. Kassandra quickly spoke with a grin, “No need to panic, Aisha. We’re all sisters now. The other girls already knew you two would get together, but not this quickly.”

Archer chuckled before turning his attention to the window, where the three women gossiped about Aisha’s first time. He watched as the city grew by the day as people flooded into the kingdom from their war-torn nations.

Aisha informed him that thousands of refugees are pouring into the kingdom every week, and the Homeguard can deal with the influx with the help of the 8th Legion, which has just completed its training and is ready to be deployed.

She also informed him that due to the massive number of people the army recruited, most of them brought the number of legions to two or twelve, which impressed him. Archer then decided to stop introducing programs apart from the most recent ones that Aisha loved.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the fort, where three thousand soldiers had been stationed to protect the growing city. The carriage pulled into the courtyard where hundreds of Homeguard soldiers stood at attention.

He was shocked at the size of the fortress but pushed it aside as he examined it. A large metal gate was blocking the way in, and it looked to be the only entrance inside. The stone was white and glowed as the sunlight hit them.

Four tall circular towers stood in each corner, and a large wall 100 feet tall allowed the soldiers to get a good view of the city. Walkways led to a central building that looked like a sizeable medieval keep, but he could sense how strong the place was.

He sensed hundreds of soldiers patrolling the walls and fortress while most of the troops were in the keep resting or attending training. Archer was pleased with everything as the fortress was well designed and suitable for the amount of Homeguards the kingdom recruited and trained.

After examining their surroundings, the carriage stopped, and a soldier promptly opened the door. The three women stepped out first, with Archer following closely behind while admiring their godly behinds.

As he emerged, the soldiers around him began saluting, catching him by surprise as his attention was elsewhere. After that, he waved the soldiers away with a smile, causing them to get back to their duties.

The approaching commander, whom Aisha identified as Royce, was a portly man standing six feet tall with bright orange hair. Archer watched as he dropped to one knee with a huff before speaking, “We have the traitors locked up in the dungeons, ready for their punishment.”

Archer gazed at the soldiers surrounding them and rushed off to get the criminals who tried to leave the 3rd Legion to die. He would show the kingdom what happens to such people that would go against them. 𝖋𝔯𝔴𝔟𝖔𝖛𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

Once that was done, Kassandra dragged him to a nearby bench where the four sat down to wait; Demetra spoke teasingly while scanning the fortress, ”Are you sure I can’t just nibble a few soldiers? Maybe take a leg here and an arm there?”

”Shut you, greedy shark, before I give you something that you will become addicted to,” he commented as he blew into the shark girl’s ear, causing her to shiver.

Demetra didn’t leave it there and pounced on him, causing the other two women to laugh, but she didn’t care and got comfortable on his lap while snuggling up to him. While this was happening, Archer wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

He pulled her closer until her pointy ear was near his mouth, allowing him to ask, ”Why are you acting like this with me suddenly?”

”You don’t know much about my race, do you?” Demetra replied while pushing up against his body.

He shook his head. ”No, my past is messy and confuses me most of the time because I unlocked sixteen years of memories and emotions in one go a while back. It was annoying but helped me immensely.”

”Oh, so that’s why you’re so eccentric then?” the shark girl commented with a sly smile.

He nodded, ”Guilty as charged. But that’s why you like me, don’t you? Would you eat me if I were a regular dragon or human? Am I right?”

Demetra chuckled, “Most likely, but we Demon Sharks are drawn to strength in individuals. However, with you, it’s a whole different story. You’re unlike any man I’ve ever encountered. I’d venture to say you’re even stranger than my own father.”

Archer started laughing when he heard this, and the other girls turned to him as he explained, ”Demetra thinks I’m stranger than the Demon Shark King.”

When Kassandra heard this, she started giggling but soon calmed down and explained, ”The Deep One King is a strange being just like you husband, but he doesn’t care for his women or even realm. He only cares about power, which separates the two of you.”

”Interesting,” Archer said. ”Maybe when I become an Elder Dragon, I can eat him to see if I get stronger?”

Demetra started laughing as she held her stomach, causing the other three to look at her with narrowed eyes. The shark girl stopped laughing and answered as she calmed down, ”I’m sorry, Arch, but Father is a monster and the strongest Demon Shark that has ever lived.”

”I’m still growing technically. I’m still a baby dragon compared to the other dragons,” Archer answered as he heard a crowd gathering outside the square.

He stood up while continuing, ”Let’s get this over with. The army needs to know how traitors will be dealt with.”

The three women nodded before following him. Soon, they came across a cowering group of men and women surrounded by Dragonblood Knights pointing their spears at the traitors. They were the 5000 soldiers with Cornelius, who sent his anger soaring as he laid eyes on the old man.

Using Mana Manipulation, Archer dragged the treacherous commander toward him and caught him by the neck. Cornelius tried to struggle, but all he received was a sharp slap, which caused his head to ring.

Archer grinned and said, “You see, Cornelius, I’m not exactly known for my sanity. I have a tendency to go wild. Let me give you a taste of what’s in store, so the anticipation builds and the crowd gets their fill.”

After speaking, he threw the man toward Demetra. The Demon Shark who quickly punched him to the ground before using her foot to keep his eyes toward Archer, who had a mountain of a man dragged to the stage.

When seeing this man, Archer’s grin grew as he spoke to the defiant man, ”Bend the knee and serve me or die. Your choice, human.”

”I’d rather die!” the soldier responded instantly.

Archer chuckled before shrugging, ”Okay,” he said, looking at the two Dragonblood Knights holding him in place. ”Make sure this human doesn’t move.”

They saluted before locking the big man in place. Afterward, Archer summoned his sharp claws while staring into the traitor’s eyes. With a smile, he spoke as everyone surrounding them saw the glint in his eyes: ”Did you know there are nerves in the face called nociceptors, and if they are damaged, it could cause pain beyond words, but who knows? Do you want to be my first test subject? I guarantee it will be fun?”

The man didn’t answer, but his eyes widened in fear. Archer wasn’t done, and he continued as he looked at the Dragonblood Knights, ”Lads, should I use this fine gentleman as our first test subject? This punishment will be used for our enemies so they remember us.”

Archer watched as the soldiers trembled before one of the left stammered, and a woman’s voice replied, ”Yes, my Lord. He will be a good test subject.”

”Very good; what’s your name, soldier?” Archer commented while looking at the female knight.

”Calantha, My Lord.”

Archer nodded. ”Okay, Calantha. Be sure to tell all your friends and family what you see here in fine detail,” he said as an evil smile appeared. ”Now watch what happens when you go against me.”
