Chapter 1262: Lock Everything Down
When the dragonkin woman heard his words, her head snapped up while speaking in a determined voice, "I swear to all the gods now and in the past that I would never harm our child"
Once Sia was finished talking, she stepped back and asked in a serious voice, "Do you swear on whatever oath that hold value to you that you won't be like Leonard and treat our child like an object?"
Acher stared deeply into the dark-haired woman's eyes. "You have my word, my love," he said softly.
Then, turning to Brooke with a warm smile, he added, "Announce it to the harem through the dragon tattoos, and take Sia back to Draconia so she can rest."'
"What about you?" the pregnant woman asked. "Can't you take some time off from the war and relax with me? It would be nice to spend time with each other."
Archer shook his head, his expression laced with regret as he explained, "Draconia, our islands, and Emberport are stretching all our powerhouses thin. If I pull away from the west, the Alliance will seize the chance to unleash their Demi-Gods against the legions."
Sia nodded in understanding as she leaned forward and gave him a passionate kiss just before he was being flooded by congratulations from all the women. Following that, Teuila told the soldiers to lock down the walls.
"Lock everything down!" she commanded, her voice sharp and urgent. "The Alliance could strike at any moment."
When hearing order, the Legionnaires, Drakeguards, and Dragonblood Knights sprang into action, swiftly taking their positions and sealing the gates, preparing for the inevitable assault.
With a wave of his hand, Archer opened a portal to the palace and stepped through, the women following closely behind. As they emerged, Sera and Ashoka began speaking with Sia, their voices gentle and reassuring.
He took a deep breath, then summoned Edith and Meredith. The two materialized moments later, their smiles lighting up the room. "Congratulations, husband," the white-haired woman said, wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace.
Archer returned the hug, his heart swelling with affection. He then turned to Meredith, who suddenly planted a soft kiss on his cheek. After the greetings, he gave them both a serious look.
"Can you two help Sia out with the others while I'm not here, please?" he asked. "I'm stuck on Avidia for the foreseeable future."
When Edith heard this, her blue eyes gleamed with happiness before she nodded, "Of course I can, handsome. Anything for you and the others."'
Meredith agreed and the two women went to talk to Sia as Sera bounced toward him before giving him a tight hug after launching herself at him. The dragon woman started kissing him while her tail swayed side to side.
"I'm so happy for you, handsome," she said with glowing ruby-red eyes.
Archer kissed Sera once again before Teuila, Ashoka and Brooke caught his attention as they smiled at everyone paying attention to the dragonkin woman, causing him to ask, "Aren't you ladies jealous?"@@@@
Three pairs of eyes snapped towards him, and suddenly the mature brunette let out a soft giggle, her smile warm and knowing. "Did you forget," she teased, "That we love you with all our hearts?"
severing its lifeline.
The colossal beast let out a final guttural bellow before collapsing into the sand, sending a tremor through the ground. Breathing heavily, Ashoka started eating, savoring the victory as she regained her strength.
Her glowing amber eyes shimmered with quiet satisfaction. 'I'm glad he trusts me to handle things my way,' she mused, a rare smile flickering in her thoughts. 'Few ever get this kind of
freedom in a relationship.'
After finishing her meal, Ashoka stretched and leaped back into motion, her sleek tiger form gliding effortlessly across the desert. The vast dunes rolled ahead like an endless golden sea, but as she crested a dune, a strange scent caught her nose.
'Enemy?' she wondered, her instincts flaring as she sniffed the air again. 'No... it smells different."
Ashoka slowly crept forward only to see a massive camp sprawled out in all directions, but what caught her was the army of vicious-looking monsters that blotted out the land, causing her to think, 'How are they gathering so many soldiers? The walls will have a tough fight if the reinforcements don't arrive on time.'
Ashoka continued to observe the Alliance horde from her perch, her sharp eyes scanning every movement below. Suddenly, the hair on her back bristled, a primal warning surging through
her instincts.
'What the fuck is coming!' she thought while looking around.
Without hesitation, she leaped to the side just as the ground erupted in a violent explosion of
sand and rock. A massive worm burst forth, its segmented body towering over the dunes, its
gaping maw lined with rows of jagged teeth.
The earth trembled beneath its sheer size, and Ashoka landed gracefully, her glowing amber eyes locked on the monstrous creature as it loomed before her. She dodged more attacks before getting away from the giant creatures.
"I need to warn Archer!" she muttered, her voice a low growl as her glowing eyes darted toward the Alliance horde in the distance.
Before she could act, one of the massive worms lashed out with its powerful body. The impact
struck her with devastating force, sending Ashoka hurtling through the air. She crashed into
the sand, tumbling across the dunes before coming to a halt. [Drop some powerstones, comments, and gifts to help the novel grow; I appreciate all the
