Chapter 845 The Ghost Sea

Brooke was engrossed in a book, and Nefertiti was brewing tea, the delicious aroma catching his attention. He approached the succubus, who smiled as he came close. "Morning, husband," she said, filling up a cup and handing it to him. "Try this; it\'s called Moonleaf Brew."

Archer took a sip of the tea, and as he swallowed, a gentle wave of relaxation washed over him, bringing a smile to his face. "This is delicious, Nefi. Have you taken up a new hobby, or are you just experimenting?"

The succubus smiled warmly and pecked him on the cheek. "I got into tea making recently after Brooke made some. I decided to get a few supplies and try it myself, and it\'s been a lot of fun so far."

When the four ladies spotted him, they smiled, but Demetra commented, \'\'Some redhead came to the inn and asked for you, Arch.\'\'

\'\'Elara?\'\'

The shark girl nodded before he approached each woman and kissed them, \'\'She\'s my Dragon Marshal, and I guess she needs to update me,\'\' he said. \'\'I will be back shortly.\'\'

\'\'Can I come with you?\'\' Sera asked as her ruby-red eyes turned to him with a smile.

Archer nodded, but Demetra also asked to join, so the three left the inn after Brooke said she\'d look after Kassandra, Teuila, and Nefertiti. He smiled at the mature woman before leaving.

After saying good morning to the owner, the three left the inn and headed for the Draconian camp. While walking through the city, Archer was pleased to see that it looked normal and people were going about their business.

Demetra grabbed his left hand and held it tight, with slightly tinted red cheeks and a sweet smile that caused his heart to flutter. Archer smiled before pulling the shark girl toward him and kissing her quickly.

Just as Archer did that, he felt Sera grab his arm while her slender tail entwined with his own, causing a shiver to run up his spine. He looked at the redhead, who winked at him before the three continued down the street.

It took them twenty minutes to reach the massive Draconian fortress the four legions that came to Aquaria built. Their work pleased him, and when seeing this, he sent a message to the four ladies waiting back at the inn.

Archer told them to join them in a bit as he knew the soldiers would have built a residence for him inside. The three approached one of the two gates, one that led north while the other would take them to Aquaria City.

When they got close, the soldiers on guard saluted him, \'\'Al-Maseeh At-Tinyan!\'\'

Demetra and Sera looked miffed as the men\'s eyes burned with a fanaticism that scared the shit out of them. Archer was taken aback but knew his army was full of Fireheart Fanatics, and he didn\'t know how to feel about it.

But that soon changed as they entered the fortress, and every soldier in the vicinity did the same thing, causing the shark girl to tug on his sleeve, \'\'Archer, they are fanatics; you can see it in their eyes.\'\'

\'\'Yes, sweetheart, you can see that they think of you as some kind of god,\'\' Sera said while glancing around. \'\'The Fireheart Faith is spreading like wildfire and is consuming your people.\'\'

Archer nodded silently as Demetra remarked, "Sera, I don\'t think our husband is concerned. These soldiers are extremely loyal, which is exactly what Draconia needs during these trying times."

Sera nodded in understanding as she held his arm tighter, her tail brushing against his. Just then, Elara appeared, causing Archer to smile. "There you are. How was the journey?"

The Dragon Marshal smiled. \'\'It was interesting, my lord,\'\' she replied. \'\'The 1st legion destroyed a Swarm army with the help of the navy, which bombarded them.\'\'

Archer nodded, \'\'How many soldiers did we lose?\'\'

\'\'None, my lord,\'\' Elara responded, which caused his eyebrow to raise before she continued. \'\'Follow me to my quarters, and I will inform you of everything happening, including the Fireheart Faith, now the dominant religion in Draconia and some parts of Pluoria.\'\'

\'\'Okay lead the way,\'\' Archer said with a smile.

Elara led the way to a building in the top right corner of the fortress, which would be the section where the generals and high command would be housed. While walking, Archer gazed at the newly constructed buildings made of dark oak wood from the nearest forest.

There was a command headquarters at the center of the fortress surrounded by storerooms for stuff that couldn\'t be kept in the officers\' storage rings. After admiring the buildings, he turned to the three-story buildings that housed the soldiers.

Archer devised the fortress apartment complexes to save space, and thanks to magic, the engineers could build them in no time if supplied with enough mana. He was proud of what he designed for the army, as they would always have housing, food, and warmth, which would boost their morale while away from home.

While walking, he contacted Aisha and informed her to limit the family program to three children per family and to add a rule that once the youngest child reaches five years old, the limit will be lifted.

When the dragonkin woman heard this, she thought it was a good idea to stop families from taking advantage of his generosity, but Archer reassured her that he would raise their taxes if they tried to scam the system.

She agreed and asked him to return to Draconia soon because she missed him. Archer chuckled before saying he would fly back soon once the legions steamrolled across Pluoria and destroyed the Swarm.

After talking to the dragonkin woman for a while, he receives a message from Cian. [Brother Arch! Father just announced Maeve will be married by sunset. You must hurry her and take us away from this place]

He halted and turned to the women beside him, his tone urgent. "We must go to the Avaloch Kingdom Maeve. She\'s on the brink of being married off."

The three nodded before Archer summoned his wings, followed by Sera transforming into her dragon form and putting Elara on her back as he scooped Demetra into a princess carry before taking off.

While flying, he informed the girls of the plans and sped up using Mana Manipulation. Sera followed suit and kept up with him as the two dragons soared over the chaotic land below. It didn\'t take them long to pass over the Zenia Empire and then Mediterra.

Soon, they reached the Nagendra and saw complete chaos as monsters roamed free. Archer summoned thousands of Stone Men and ordered them to hunt down the creatures and butcher them for the experience they\'d earn him.

Archer soon reached Pluoria and noticed it was calmer, but monsters were still roaming the land. While flying over the Avalon Empire, he decided to go get Leira and Mary before heading back to the Southlands.

They turned east and flew over the Riverland Duchy, which was on fire, and battles everywhere. Archer saw riverboats with mages casting spells into the horde of monsters, causing explosions to ring out all over.

But Archer ignored this and continued east as they flew over a chain of mountains until they were above the sea. He noticed the water below was going crazy as a storm started, causing him to cast Cosmic Shield, which Sera joined.

The fairy dragon shivered as she spoke, \'\'Why is it so cold? Hasn\'t Frostwinter passed?\'\'

Archer was about to speak, but Demetra was the one to answer, \'\'It\'s the Ghost Sea. The weather is unpredictable, and below the waves is worse,\'\' she said in a wary voice. \'\'Many sea monsters lurk in the darkness. Some bigger than me, husband.\'\'

He looked down and activated Aura Detector, only to receive a headache in return as hundreds of thousands of pings, some directly below them. Archer stopped flying and looked down.

Two massive red eyes appeared just below the surface, and the auro radiating off this monster scared the shit out of him, \'A Pseudo-God,\' he thought. \'It\'s stronger than Oma.\'

Archer\'s eyes widened before he started flying even faster and only slowed down when he saw the Avaloach Kingdom and its navy surrounding the island. As they got closer, Elara shouted over the window, \'\'They have spotted us! The ships will fire.\'\'

He nodded and poured more mana into the Cosmic Shield as several shells slammed into it and dispersed. This forces Archer to hold Demetra tighter before ascending while dodging around shells as they destroy his shield.

Sera did the same thing and weaved through the air with practiced skill, their movements fluid and synchronized. With each shell narrowly missing its mark, Archer\'s heart pounded in his chest, adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Beside him, Sera maneuvered gracefully, her wings beating with powerful strokes as she expertly evaded the incoming attacks. As they danced through the storm, Despite the onslaught, they pressed on, their determination unwavering.

With each passing moment, they drew closer to their destination – a towering mountain peak that loomed above the Avaloch Kingdom like a silent sentinel. The wind whipped past them as they soared higher and higher.

As they reached the summit, they landed with a powerful thud, their breaths coming in ragged gasps.
