Chapter 1259: What Are You Making



Archer noticed the empress's cousin was a slender but curvy woman wearing a maid's outfit which caught his eye, but soon her exotic voice sounded out, "Why would you do that? We joined the Alliance to fight against you."

He shrugged while pulling out some ale before explaining, "I want you to join me in this war. I will heal the land and help you fight the Alliance armies that will try an attack you."@@@@

Colestah and Nayeli's eyes widened which made him laugh at their shocked looks as he continued talking, "The Moonriver is dying, your people are starving and the Alliance has taken advantage of you. It's one of the main reasons you joined them in fighting me."

"What do you want in return? The sudden offer of help is strange," the blue-haired elf questioned with a suspicious look in her eyes.

Archer chuckled at her expression as it amused him, but he shook his head before being honest with the elf, "I want your empire to join mine when I finally take Avidia, which should be in a year."

Colestah's eyes bugged out just as her cousin quickly jumped up and rejected the idea.

"Impossible! How you can expect an empress to bend the knee to you? That's unthinkable."

"Because the alternative is letting your realm succumb to the Swarm's curse that's devouring your land by the day," he replied, lowering himself into a seat. "Frankly, I couldn't care less about fighting your armies unless it's claiming your empire for myself."

Archer watched as Colestah and her cousin silently panic but minutes later the beautiful empress looked at him with narrowed, "If I agree to join you, would I still be able to run my empire like I have been doing?" she questioned.

"Yes, but you'll have to pay taxes and have my legions stationed across the empire for security," he answered. "But you get all the benefits of being part of Draconia and you can still be the ruler. I'll just be the one you answer to."'

"So pay you taxes and we'll receive stuff? What are these benefits you speak of?" Colestah questioned with a curious gaze.

Archer turned to Leira, who was sitting nearby, and offered her a charming smile. "Do you mind explaining, gorgeous? I think you'd be better at it?"

The cat woman beamed before immediately began speaking. "Well, our husband here has an endless passion for caring for his people. There are countless government programs he's put in place to support the less fortunate, and there are these buildings called apartment blocks that can house thousands of people comfortably."

When Colestah and Nayeli heard her explanation, they just stared at them with wide eyes causing him to laugh before speaking, "Well you've got some time to consider my offer but to prove my point, I will heal more of your land so you can see the benefit of becoming friends with me."

With a wave of his hand, he used Mana Manipulation to construct a massive pizza oven. The sheer power of the magic made the house tremble slightly. Seconds later, Leira rushed into the kitchen with a worried expression but calmed down when seeing everything was alright. He smiled when seeing her reaction before speaking. "Sorry about that. I made an oven to cook our lunch."

The cat woman nodded with a smile. "What are you making?" she asked with a curious sparkle in her eyes.

Archer chuckled before ushering her out of the room, "You'll have to wait beautiful, but I know you'll like it."

Leira nodded and left the kitchen just as Archer received a sudden message from Teuila. Her tone was urgent as her words formed in his mind, 'Arch! The Duskfire, Goldmane, and Darkthrone Empires are launching an attack from the Death Sand Desert. We've blocked the three northern routes and are engaging in skirmishes with them whenever they appear.'

"Oh, they're sneaky," he muttered with gleaming eyes before replying to the Aquarian. 'I will come once I've eaten. I'll bring you and the girls some.'

Teuila responded with a cheerful tone, easing some of the tension as Archer returned to cooking. He carefully slid the prepared pizzas into the oven as the heat rushed out and hit his

face.

The aroma already filled the air and made his stomach rumble causing him to think, "That feels good but now it's time to wait.'

While waiting, he sent an order to Elara, "Take the 25th, 26th, and 27th legions to reinforce Teuila, Sera, and Ashoka. It looks like we'll be fighting in the desert for a while.'

Moments later, the dragonkin woman replied in an excited voice, 'I'll do it before Talila, Sia and

I leave for the east.'

"Thank you Lara,' he replied with a smile.

Afterward, Archer grabbed a tray and five cups, filling them with the orange juice he'd brought back from Earth. The refreshing citrus aroma lingered in the air as he worked.

Twenty minutes later, the pizzas were perfectly baked, their golden crusts and bubbling toppings filling the kitchen with an irresistible scent. Carefully, he pulled them out of the oven, storing all but two in his Item Box for later.

Balancing the tray, he carried the pizzas and drinks into the living room, where the women were deep in conversation, their laughter filling the space with warmth.
