?Archer nodded. “Yes, there is a city in South Draconia that is home to most of their people, alongside one of the kingdom’s largest shipyards and naval bases that trains sailors for the navy.”

“How did you get them to come here?” Olivia questioned. “They are usually reclusive and hate the other races.”

“That’s a long story, but the gist is that a sea elf tribe in the western part of Avidia rose to power and conquered the others in a brutal war. Those who didn’t want to live under military rule fled their homeland,” Archer explained.

He looked at the calm sea lit by the stars above before continuing, “We found them wandering around Mediterra and the Southlands. With Sagana’s help, I offered them a place to stay. They moved to our domain and flourished, earning me their loyalty.”

Olivia smiled and nodded. ”Amazing,” she said. ”Well, now we’re here. We can start clearing out the Swarm and level up the army.”

”That’s the plan,” Archer replied. ”Order the Marshals to disembark and land just outside the city to set up our fortress for the legions.”

The older woman nodded, ”Yes, Al-Maseeh At-Tinyan,” she said with a sly smile.

Archer rolled his hands and smacked Olivia’s juicy behind, causing the admiral to yelp as her pink eyes turned to him, ”Oh, is the king a lewd man? Does he want this older woman?” she teased him.

He looked into her eyes without joking and answered, ”Yes, I want you, Liv, and it doesn’t matter if you’re older than me.”

After that, Olivia’s eyes widened, and a naughty smile then appeared as she leaned up against Archer while squashing her massive assets against his chest, which made his heart race, but he managed to control his lust thanks to all the sex he’d had.

”Well, we can get to know each other personally, but for now, we have a mission,” Olivia commented while hugging him.

Archer nodded before taking off again. Once the admiral walked back into the bridge, he flew toward the city. Nefertiti told him that she, Sera, Teuila, Brooke, and Aeris were waiting for him.

He flew toward their location only to see hundreds of Aquarians rushing around in a panic as they spotted the incoming fleet. When Archer spotted the four ladies chatting, he landed next to them.

Following that, they greeted him with a hug and kiss, except for Aeris, who was too embarrassed to do so, which caused the other girls to giggle. Archer and the four girls decided to settle down for the night.

Nefertiti offered to show them an inn only if he promised she would be first, which Archer agreed to with a grin. The group meandered through the streets while following the succubus.

Teuila and Sera were questioning Aeris about her love for Archer, which only made her blush, causing him to think, ‘She’s beautiful when embarrassed.’

It took them to reach Nefertiti’s destination. A large Egyptian-inspired building stood taller than the surrounding dwellings. Archer noticed it was built out of beautiful sandstone while decorated with old red maple wood.

Archer saw hieroglyphics littering outside the building, depicting famous Zenian battles or scenes throughout their history. He couldn’t help but admire the artwork, which would have taken countless hours.

Nefertiti saw him looking and beamed. ”Zenian artists are renowned artisans that most kingdoms and empires want to hire to decorate their palaces,” she said. ”Father encourages the arts and funds endeavors that will bring more people into his love of all kinds of art.”

His eyebrow raised, ”I didn’t know your homeland loved art,” he said in a curious tone.

This caused Nefertiti to giggle. ”Well, there’s a lot you don’t know, husband,” she commented in her exotic Egyptian accent, which she had grown to love. ”I have a few friends who would love to join your kingdom and bring Zenian art to Draconia.”

Archer smiled when he heard this and hugged the succubus who relished in the attention, but Teuila interrupted, ”Arch! I was talking to some of my family guards, and they suggested asking the Father if you can recruit some deep sea farmers.”

”What do they grow in the sea? I have a Deep Sea Mining Platform being built by my cousin Farrah,” Archer said. ”Could we combine both projects to mass farm around the island?”

Teuila nodded, ”Aquarians can operate underwater without the need for air,” she looked into his eyes with a smile. ”Remember, we are descendants of the first mermaids that swam in the seas.”

”Good idea,” Archer said while taking out some paper and writing it down before continuing. ”We can earn the kingdom a fortune for combining these; if we include the Red Silk from the Desert Worms, then Draconia will be the wealthiest nation on Thrylos.”

All four girls smiled when they saw the happiness on his face. Soon after, the group entered the inn and approached the front desk. A young woman was sitting behind it, looking up with a smile. ”How can the Hungry Horse Inn serve you on this fine night?” she said happily.

Nefertiti smiled, ”Can we have your biggest room? We need to rest for the night.”

The woman nodded before turning her gaze to a book. She started going through it until she found something and spun around. She took a red key off the hook and handed it to the succubus. ”That would be 4 gold,” she expressed. ”That includes room service, dinner, and breakfast.”

Everyone wanted the room, so Archer gave the woman 5 gold, which shocked her, but she soon guided them all to the bedroom. He noticed her constantly looking backward while taking in the four girls following him.

After five minutes of walking upstairs, they reached the top floor where the woman opened a door, ”Here is your room,” she said while walking inside. ”There is a mana buzzer to request food whenever you wish.” f𝐫eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

Nefertiti and the other girls thanked her before the young woman’s eyes met his before she concluded, ”Enjoy your stay in the Hungry Horse Inn. Have a good night.”

Once she finished speaking, the door was closed, causing the others to giggle as Sera commented, ”You always drive women crazy with your stupid charisma.”

Archer chuckled as he picked the dragon girl up and kissed her, which she happily reciprocated with enough passion that it lit his lust, but he had to control it as he wanted to try some of the food.

He put Sera down before looking at Aeris, ”Order four of every dish,” he requested in a charming tone. ”Tell them we will pay for everything so they don’t panic.”

The Dark Wraith girl nodded before rushing toward the buzzer as Nerfetiti and Teuila walked toward the bathroom. Once they started walking, Sera jumped off him and rushed toward the balcony. ”I’m going for a fly. Do you want to come, sweetheart?” she asked, turning to him.

Archer smiled before approaching the fairy dragon and joined her on the balcony. Then, the dragon took off and started flying over Aquaria while Archer admired the scene before them. Everything was dark, and the lights from the city lit up the surrounding area.

The two flew for ten minutes until they reached a large mountain that jutted into the sky. Archer narrowed his eyes when he saw a flock of vile-looking birds roosting on the peak, causing him to cast Plasma Missiles before sending them flying toward the creatures.

Explosions rang across the mountain peak, sending the monsters scattering in all directions. Sera quickly chased a large bird and grabbed it before breathing her red fire all over the creature.

She then started eating it, making Archer laugh at her silliness, but the dragon girl ripped it in half and held out the other half, ”Here love,” she said with a smile. ”You can share it with me.”

Archer took the meat, which smelt delicious, but wanted to add something, so he flew toward the nearest edge. Sera followed behind him, and the two landed on a ledge cut off from the ground below.

He took out some spices and doused them on the meat, making it smell even better. Sera noticed what he was doing and got curious as she chirped, ”What’s that?”

Sera started bouncing on the spot when the aroma hit her nose, causing her tail to swish side to side in excitement. When Archer spotted this, he smiled as he answered, ”Some spices the Brownies made before I got kicked out the domain.”

Archer took out more and offered some to the dragon girl, ”Want some babe?”

Her red eyebrows raised, ”Babe? Where did that come from?”

After speaking, Archer shrugged, ”I want to show you girls how much you mean to me, and I thought about being more loving to start things off.”

Sera beamed, ”That sounds good,” she took a bite of the meat and started moaning before continuing with a mouth full of food. ”Ke–ep calling me th–at, I lik–e it.”

Archer bonked her on the head, ”We may be monsters, but eat with manners, girl!”

The dragon girl giggled, ”Sorr–y.”

He looked at her and used his tail to smack her perky behind, causing Sera to yelp as she growled at him before getting back to the bird meat and huffed. Archer laughed as he leaned over and pecked her cheek, which earned no response.

The gluttonous dragon ignored him as she was too wrapped in the meat. Archer started eating his own as the stars above glowed like a never-ending celestial painting. He remembered a saying from Earth that he always liked.

‘I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars,’ Archer thought while eating.
