Chapter 405 Tending To The Domain
Once Archer dealt with the commander he made his way back to the hall. When he arrived he saw the Stone Men waiting for him but he dismissed them.
After they were gone he stored all the chests in his Item Box while throwing the dead bodies in the domain before leaving the castle behind.
Archer took off once he was outside and flew further east as he attacked many Stormhaven and Fjordhelm armies, forts, and captured castles.
By the time the sunset he cleansed half of the Riverland Duchy before he returned to the domain when he got a message from the girls.
When he entered the portal all nine girls were there including Hecate which shocked him but Hemera reassured her.
Ella took the lead, stepping forward with a smile gracing her face. "Arch, I've decided to visit Mother with Sera before we resume our classes. Leira mentioned that the Emperor has temporarily suspended our lessons to address the empire's issues and repair the college."
Archer got a confused look on his face causing the girls to giggle before Leira stepped forward and explained. ''Well, the College of Magic has a dungeon on its land. It's not a dangerous one but sometimes they can become overrun due to the amount of mana it pulls in.''
As Leira spoke, she drew closer to him and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek before resuming her explanation. "When a dungeon becomes infested, it triggers a Beast Wave, posing a significant threat to the surrounding area. Therefore, a group of students and professors took it upon themselves to contain the danger until the Imperial Guard arrived to quash the beasts."
When Archer heard this he nodded his head and understood as he leaned forward and kissed the half-elf.
Ella pushed against him as she returned the kiss before leaving the treehouse with Sera after the dragon girl lunged at him.
She wrapped her legs around his body like a koala before shoving her tongue down his throat which turned him on.
After Sera kissed him she bit his ear before running after Ella who had already left when she saw the hyperactive girl pampering Archer.
One by one the others approached and kissed him before Archer opened a Gate to their homes.
Teuila hugged him tight after kissing him before leaving. While Nefertiti gave him a passionate kiss. Hemera, Talila, and Hecate both kissed him before entering the portal.
After that, Archer turned to the last two ladies. Leira and Llyniel stood there with smiles on their pretty faces.
The cat girl spoke with a beaming smile on her face. ''Thank you for helping the empire Arch. Father is happy and is arranging a suitable reward for you.''
Upon hearing her voice, he swiftly reached for the Avalon princess, enfolding her in a warm embrace as he tenderly caressed her twitching cat ear.
When Leira felt him do that she let out a sweet moan as her body shivered but he soon stopped his attack before she kissed him.
The couple shared a passionate kiss before they separated before Archer leaned into her ear and whispered. ''When this is all over I want to spend more time with you.''
After he spoke he bit her ear causing her to let out a shocked scream. ''Nyahhh!''
But after that, she lay her head on his chest and smiled causing Llyniel to smile at the scene. Leira let him go before letting the Wood Elf have her turn.
Archer grabbed the elf and hugged her, once he did that he leaned down and kissed her which turned her cheeks red.
But she pushed her embarrassment aside she returned the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
After a little while Leira coughed trying to catch their attention. Archer separated from the passionate elf before speaking. ''I will come to the empire once I'm finished in the Riverlands.''
The purple-haired girl nodded her head with a bright smile before stepping through the Gate he just opened.
Llyniel's dimples were on show as her cheeks were red which caused Archer to smile as he kissed her forehead.
When he did that she smiled before speaking in her usual sweet voice. ''Mother is at the palace and wants to see me. Make sure you come soon.''
Archer nodded as he watched her walk through the portal to join Leira. After that, he was left alone in the treehouse.
He pulled out some bread before teleporting to the Monster Wall, Archer looked out at the landscape as he sat on the edge.
The snow-covered everything the rolling fields of grass just looked like a white sheet with trails going through it.
Archer then looked at the forest that was at the base of a large mountain range that stretched into the distance.
That's when he saw a group of Nightmare Ant Drones dragging some unfortunate beasts back to the colony.
After seeing that Archer wanted to rename this part of the domain, he hated referring to it as the Monster Army section.
While sitting on the edge of the wall eating his bread he thought of a name for the land. That's when one came to him. 'Beasthaven'
Once he came up with the name he closed his eyes and created boards all along the Beast Wall warning the citizens not to travel passed it.
Archer warned them about all the Neatherbeasts beyond it and how they would attack anyone on sight.
After doing that he stood up, and when he did that he heard voices coming from the safe side of the wall.
He walked over to the edge and saw a large group of people below who were arguing with some Dragon-Kin guards who were guarding the stairs.
Archer's curiosity piqued, and he leaped from the wall. As he descended, he cast a Blink spell and reappeared behind the gathering crowd.
It was then that he overheard one of the men at the forefront directing his frustration toward a guard. "Why can't we venture beyond the wall to hunt those beasts?"
The guard swiftly responded, "Those creatures belong to the king and are considered his property. There are ample beasts in the nearby forests for hunting."
"But there aren't enough," chimed in an elderly woman. "The population has swelled, and everything feels congested. I don't understand why the king hasn't taken action to alleviate the situation. We are grateful for this place, but it's been neglected for some time now."
When Archer heard this he felt bad but there was nothing he could do apart from sort the situation out now.
Nodding to himself, Archer addressed the gathering, "What do you people need? More beasts? More homes? Tell me, and I will make it happen."
His words silenced the entire crowd as they turned to see him. Everyone began to kneel, but Archer waved them off and patiently awaited their response.
The elderly woman stood up, taking a step forward, even as some others tried to hold her back.
With a respectful tone, she looked at Archer and voiced their needs, "We need more homes and farmland. Our population has grown, and the scouts are constantly bringing in more people from the outside world."
Another man stepped forward and spoke in a pleading tone. ''We need more beasts to hunt as three other tent cities have popped up and now too many people are hunting the same beasts.''
When Archer heard all this he nodded his head before answering the people. ''Give me one hour and all your needs will be met. You will even be surprised.''
Having spoken, he launched into the air, ascending high above the domain, a realization dawning upon him, this beast-free land needed a name.
Archer surveyed the landscape and, not long after, a fitting name materialized in his mind. He pondered to himself, 'Draconia.'
Hovering in the air, he officially christened the land where the people lived and announced the name to the entire domain.
After doing that he closed his eyes and poured mana into the domain as he increased the size of Draconia to triple its size.
He saw the four tent cities and the city he built a while back. Archer decided to create even more as he imagined a fantasy medieval city with all the things people would need.
Archer created all different types of landscapes. Next to the newly built cities, he created miles and miles of farmland for the people.
Houses dotted the land so the farmers could stay and look after them. Once he did that he created a dozen more small cities all over Draconia .
Archer constructed roads leading to each city causing his mana to become depleted. He needed to rest.
Weary, he gently descended to the wall and sat down to rest for a while as his Mana Regeneration kicked in.
He wasn't used to this as his mana never ran out but by creating all this stuff in the domain it sucked everything out of him.
