chapter 1168: make a home and get settled

once archer had greeted dellah and aisha, the dragonkin woman smiled and asked, "what brings you here, husband?"
"i'm here to see how you both are," he replied, sitting down and getting comfortable. "how's the kingdom going?"noÌv(el)b\\jnn
"good, we are saving gold from the taxes and reinvesting it back into the land," aisha revealed with glowing blue eyes. "we've got plenty of room for now, but in the next ten years we'll run out, even with the four islands."
archer nodded in understanding as he spoke, "there's no problem there, we will have the other continents for space along with the people that live there."'
when the two women heard this, they exchanged a nod of agreement before dellah remarked, "many of your designs have already been built; we've reached the point where there's nothing left to create."
"good, i've got a few more ideas to come up with but you ladies come first," archer replied with a charming smile. "i've missed you both."
aisha beamed as she answered, her blue eyes gleaming with love, "and we've missed you, handsome."
"damn right, it's been lonely without you, arch," dellah said in a cheerful voice.
he wrapped his arm around the beautiful dwarf and pulled her onto his lap before wrapping his arms around her waist as she giggled, "what are you up to, husband?"
''pampering you two," archer responded while massaging the mature woman's shoulders, which made her slump into his lap as he glanced at the smiling aisha. "you're next. how's the legions coming along?"
the dragonkin woman laughed when she saw dellah squirming as her eyes closed. aisha replied to his question, "we are getting more recruits than ever before. it's getting hard to find room to house them. but there's one hundred and twelve altogether."
archer nodded with a thinking expression before speaking, "who can we send to placidia? maeve, nyx, and talila are guarding the fortress."
when aisha heard this, he went through some papers with a serious expression as she answered, "we can deploy the 11th and 12th legions. their training has finished, now they need experience."'
"good, they will learn how to fight monsters on placidia," he informed the dragonkin woman. "that place is full of them, which will be useful when the swarm finally enters the war."
aisha smiled knowingly as the three of them continued their conversation. however, maeve's perspective suddenly surfaced in his mind which worried him. archer's eyes narrowed as he spoke to the two women, "hold on ladies, something's happening at the fortress."'
when they heard this worried expressions appeared as dellah got off his lap and sat down to listen as he started narrating everything that was happening.
***
maeve was awoken by explosions rocking the northern side of the fortress, causing it to shake like an earthquake. she jumped out of bed and got her armor on before rushing out of the room.
without wasting time, she stepped into the corridor only to bump into ashoka, who was doing the same thing as the tiger woman questioned, "can you sense anything, maeve?"
she shook her head while answering, "no, but it must be bad to shake the whole place."' following that, the two of them rushed toward the northern gate and stepped outside, only to hear an enraged roar before the loud crashes sounded out. maeve looked at ashoka. "nyx is fighting something! wasn't she sleeping?"
he started laughing when hearing this, 'why doesn't it surprise me that the swarm are here?'
archer shook his head and replied, "what do you know about the terravians? are they on this forsaken continent?"
the female giant shook her head. "no. they have tunnels all over though and send their armies through them, master," she explained.
"okay, here's what's going to happen. you two will lead any more of your kind that i capture and build me a powerful army," he offered before opening a portal to the mountains in the
domain.
when the giants heard this, they bobbed their heads in agreement, resembling two oversized chickens. archer gestured for them to proceed, and as they stepped forward, their eyes widened in astonishment at the breathtaking scenery before them.
"now make a home and get settled," he spoke before leaving the domain. "i'll send more
giants your way when i find them."'
the giants bowed deeply before archer, who vanished moments later, reappearing outside the placidia fortress. there, he made his way toward ashoka, maeve, and nyx. as soon as they
saw him, the three women rushed forward, embracing him tightly.
"thank you for coming to help us," they said, their relief obvious.
following that, archer and the three women started chatting before the ladies went back to
sleep. once they were gone, he returned to aisha and dellah, who were going through some
paperwork.
"sorry about that, at least we got two giants for the monster army," he said while sitting
down.
aisha looked at him before letting out a yawn. archer noticed she was tired and suggested, "why don't you get some sleep? it's late and we can go out on a date when you're free." when the dragonkin heard this, a radiant smile spread across her enchanting face. rising gracefully, she made her way around the desk and settled onto his lap. "that sounds incredible, my love. i can't wait," she murmured, her voice laced with warmth. leaning in, she captured his lips in a deep, passionate kiss. archer reciprocated while holding her waist. he felt her tongue slip into his mouth causing a battle to erupt which aisha happily
lost.
following that, she got up before saying goodnight to him and dellah. once she was gone, the mature dwarf asked, "can we spend some time together, husband? it's been a while since we
have."
