Chapter 1239: Keep Moving

Archer was relaxing in his carriage while Ari massaged his shoulders, which caused him to fall into a relaxed state. That's when he noticed one of the Fire Elves were remaining as the
Broodmaw leader toyed with the man.
'Bring him here,' he commanded.
The creature listen and started traveling in his direction, only to appear from the treeline in the distance. Archer stood up, which surprised the white-haired woman who spoke. "What's wrong, handsome?"
"Come with me," he replied before stepping out of the carriage.
Once the two of them were outside, the marching column came to a halt as Sera and Elara appeared. The dragon woman commented with a confused expression, "Why are we stopping?"
"My monsters ambushed a group of Duskfire warriors and the leader is on his way here now," Archer said just as the massive Broodmaw appeared out of nowhere.
Elara let out a yelp while Sera got ready to fight, but he quickly reassured them, "They are my soldiers' girls. Calm down, they wouldn't dream of hurting any of you."
When the giant monster heard this, it lowered its head to the two women before holding out a bloodied man who was missing limbs and was letting out quiet whimpered as his jaw was completely gone.
Archer looked at the Broodmaw and asked, "Did you eat him on the way here?"
'Yes master,' it replied in an innocent tone. 'I was hungry.'
He chuckled before grabbing the fire elf by the neck and cast Soul Eater on the man who started screaming as Archer saw all the memories he needed to. Moments later, he throws the enemy commander to the monster.
"Go on, eat him," he said with an amused smile. "I know you like your prey alive."
Following that, the Broodmaw leader and other monsters started feasting on the Fire Elf's, who were letting out screams that echoed across the landscapes only to scare a flock of birds.@@novelbin@@
After that, Sera's voice rang out while she was retching. "That's nasty. Why don't these nightmares just kill the elves?"
Archer shrugged before explaining, "Let them suffer. They butchered over a million of my soldiers and deserve nothing less."'
"Grant them no mercy because they wouldn't do it for us," Ari suddenly spoke up as Elara agreed with the older woman.
Sera sighed as she calmed down. "You guys are right. I will make sure any soldiers I capture will be fed to Vivienne's ants."
Archer laughed before the column continued on as they entered the woods where screams echoed out. The legions got worried, but the girls reassured them that the monsters were clearing out the Duskfire forces.
it until another army gets here.'
Eventually he started watching all the building popping up around him once the massive twenty meter wall that encircled the encampment. Archer was proud of seeing the soldiers
working hard.
Drakeguards rushed about hauling wood and stone to the builders while the foreman shouted orders. While sitting there, Ari reappeared with a big smile. "Seems like the soldiers are
excited."
Archer nodded before revealing, "Yes. Sia's scouts found dozens of towns, cities and castles between here and the Moonriver Empire's borders."
''I assume you will build fortresses at the northern passes? The Alliance could send reinforcements from that direction."
"That's the plan. Elara is helping me go over them in our spare time, but we will lock down this part of the Duskfire Empire and show the people that we're not the evil kingdom they think we are," he answered before pulling out some meat.
Archer started eating while Ari looked at him with a smile before commenting, "The
Fireheart Priests will spread the word. I'm ready to bring two hundred here to convert the
local elves."
He turned to the stunning, mature woman, and without warning, pressed his lips to hers. She froze for a moment, but her hesitation quickly melted away as she responded with a passionate kiss of her own.
Following that, the two of them separated just as a group of Legionnaires rushed by as Elara suddenly appeared. The redhead looked concerned as she revealed, "An enemy army is
approaching husband."
Archer stood and followed Elara, with Ari falling in step beside him. Together, the three ascended the wall's stairs, only to be met with the chaotic sight of Dragonfire Company soldiers hurrying about, their hands laden with mana shells as they prepared for battle.
He witnessed a Duskfire army further west, but then small dust clouds billowed behind a dozen skirmishers. When Elara saw this, she spoke, "Those are the scouts from the 10th. Fast
and skilled riders."
"Why aren't the elves chasing them?" Archer questioned causing the three women to focus on
the scene.
That's when Ari pointed in the distance, "They are, but the enemy is too far away." [Check out my new novel and let me know what you think: Aether Chronicles: Birth Of A Legend - If you like magic, academies, brilliant romance and dungeons, then give it a go]
