Chapter 743 Underground Exploration
Archer continued to watch the waves of mana shells, magic, and arrows for an hour as the Dragonfire Company didn't stop firing. This allowed enough time for the infantry to set up outside the wall before the creatures slammed into their shieldwall.
The force of the Swarm Creatures' charge pushed them back, but the shieldwall held firm. The Dragon Legionnaires in the center pushed the enemy back while the large monsters pushed back the Dragonblood Knights on the wings.
Elara appeared next to them before shouting out orders to the Dragonblood Knights and Dragon Paladin commanders to reinforce them. As Archer observed his army fighting with the mutants, he spotted a dust cloud in the distance.
'Lucian is back. Now this will get interesting,' he thought as Sera cast her Infernomancy magic on a group of trolls, causing them to burn.
The battle continued for a little while until Lucian appeared from the north with the Drakelord Knights, Stormwing Vanguard, and Drakewing Outriders. With a loud clash, they slammed into the Swarm's rear.
Their momentum was unstoppable as their lances, swords, spears, and other weapons found their marks. The sudden attack by the cavalry ended the Swarm's cohesion and forced them to start fleeing.
He heard the creatures shrieking in terror as they were cut down between the two waves. The Swarm ultimately faltered; their attack on Hammargate failed as panic spread like wildfire, and they crumbled under the weight of the Draconian Army.
Seeing the battle results, Archer was pleased with the soldiers and decided to reward them whenever they located the dwarven treasures. After that, he returned to the shack with Sera, who was excited about all the fight she had done that day.
As Archer glanced upward, he observed the afternoon sun still riding high in the sky. Its presence assured him of ample time to wander through the mountain city after attending to Sera, who displayed her affection by nuzzling against him, akin to a contented cat.
The dragon girl's reaction made him laugh before embracing her. When they arrived at the shack, the couple entered, and as soon as the door was closed, she lunged at him. Sera latched onto him before peppering his face and neck with kisses.
This caused a shiver to shoot through his body, but he groaned when she nibbled his ear, causing him to grab her perky ass, which he squeezed, causing Sera to let out an erotic moan that sent his lust soaring.
He didn't let her get away with her teasing before spinning around and passing her up against the wall while he stole her plump lips, and the two started to passionately kiss just as he cast Cosmic Shield around the shack while turning it black so no one could see them.
Once doing that, Archer moved over to the old table nearby and placed Sera on top after breaking their kiss. He looked down at her as she let out heavy breaths as she was getting hornier due to the kisses and touching.
But he wasn't done as he took his shirt off before moving on to the dragon girl, who was wearing her training gear. Archer spun her around and positioned her on all fours before pulling the back of her pants down, allowing him to see her ass.
Archer's eyes widened as her ass was perky and full, with a pleasing roundness to it which he loved. He would say Sera's figure was like a pear, which he had to admit he had a thing for alongside a few other types of girls.
Archer nodded, ''Okay. I will explore Under Mountain for a few hours until I have to return to the empire.''
''Yes, Your Majesty.'' Lucian spoke before leaving.
Once he was gone, Archer and Sera approached the entrance, which leddeeper into the underground city. As they approached, they beheld a sight that gave pause: a thousand Dragonblood Knights clad in ominous black armor that gleamed menacingly in the faint light.
Eldrich and the Dragonblood Commander approached him, kneeling before the black dragon knight before he spoke, 'I'm bringing one hundred White Knights, Your Majesty.'
Archer nodded. 'That's fine,' he replied. 'I will set up camp in the undercity before returning to the empire for the festival. Once I'm gone, you can scout ahead, but wait for me before launching an attack.''
The two men agreed with a nod as they returned to the soldiers, who were staring at him with all kinds of expressions, but none were hateful. Sera perked up. ''They are looking at you like a god husband,'' she said. ''I can see you've done a lot for them. ''Yes, you're right,'' Archer replied. ''Let's get going before it gets late.''
Sera nodded before venturing deeper into the tunnel. The air grew stale, and foreboding hung heavy around them. Shadows danced on the walls as they pressed forward, guided only by the faint glow of their torches.
Suddenly, they stumbled upon a broken gate, its iron bars twisted and rusted. One door hung precariously off its hinges, covered in thick dust as if untouched for centuries. Archer's brow furrowed in curiosity as he approached, his hand brushing against the cold metal.
"What could have caused such destruction?" Sera mused, her voice barely above a whisper as she looked at the chaos beyond.
"It doesn't matter, as we'll kill them and take all their wealth," Archer commented, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as she smiled.
Afterward, they continued to walk for an hour until drums could be heard, which confused both him and Sera. Eldrich approached him. "A Wild Orc horde is incoming," he spoke. "The Rangers report thousands approaching."
Archer grinned. "Prepare the knights," he ordered. "Use the tunnel we just entered through, and let us clear out some Orcs before the soldiers can engage."
Eldrich nodded as he returned to the Dragonblood Knights, organizing them in the tunnel while he and Sera watched. Archer could feel the excitement bubbling from the dragon girl, which caused him to smile.
Standing at the tunnel entrance, they suddenly heard the distant, thunderous sound of drums closing in on them. He smiled while Sera jumped up and down on the spot, getting ready to fight. Beforelong, Archer sensed the approaching creatures, recognizing them as Wild Orcs.
