Archer was back in the Domain with Inara, Edith, and Meredith as they watched the cities he robbed break down into chaos. Novgorodians were around while the Church Knights searched for him, but he wasn’t there.
While sitting there, the blonde maid turned to him with a curious expression as her green eyes sparkled. ’’Why did you burn down that city, husband?’’ she asked.
He bristled when hearing that, but answered honestly. ’’They created effigies that looked like you girls and were hanging them by the necks or burning them. None of those people are innocent, so they’re now food for my Monster Army for their actions.’’

’’How many people did you kill this time, Arch?’’ Alexa inquired in an unknown voice when walking into the room.
Archer turned to her and shrugged. ’’Millions. Now they’re stacked up inside the Monarchs’ colonies for their disturbing practices. I didn’t want to do it, but the look in their eyes worried me,’’ he responded.
The navy-haired woman looked at him with narrowed eyes. ’’So, men, women, and children? Did you not leave anything alive?’’
’’Yes,’’ he answered honestly. ’’If I left anyone alive, they would have wanted revenge. We don’t want another Hero Party to slay me, do we? I’ve read enough novels to know that’s what will happen.’’
When Alexa heard this, her face went red before snapping at him with an anger he wasn’t used to seeing. ’’Send me back to Earth. I need some space to think away from all this craziness.’’
Archer stood up and asked in a confused tone. ’’Why can’t we talk, Lexi? You knew about everything I’ve done and it’s not like I took joy in killing them, it had to be done for fanatics like that.’’
’’Children Arch! How could you!’’ she shouted. ’’Hearing you talk so casually about butchering an entire city is disturbing. Please send me home and don’t come to Earth. I’ll send you a message when I’m ready.’’
He gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly, but Alexa continued firmly. ’’Can you open a Gate to my place, please?

Archer let out a sigh before complying with her request. As the young woman stepped forward, he asked, his voice laced with worry, ’’You’re not ending things between us, are you?’’
When she heard this, her green eyes landed on him as she answered. ’’Of course not! I just need to think babe, it’s not every day you hear the man you love talking about killing so many.’’
Alexa turned back just as she stepped through the portal, moments before it sealed shut behind her. Archer sighed, then turned to the other women, rejoining them with a weary expression.
Slumping into his seat, he barely noticed as Meredith slid a cup of tea toward him. ’’Here, this should help you relax,’’ his maid wife said with a warm smile.
The lioness glanced at him before asking in a curious voice. ’’Are you evil? I mean, mass murder isn’t exactly a good thing.’’
Archer glanced at the older woman while responding with a chuckle. ’’Kind of, I’d say I’m more of a chaotic force on Thrylos. I look after the ones I love or the people I rule over while I’m not scared to kill enemies trying to do them harm.’’
Following that, the four started talking and Edith informed him they were staying in the Domain to relax after working so much as Ella brought in more maids to help out with the palace work.
He quickly agreed with a nod, just as Teuila’s voice echoed in his mind. ’The Alliance army is a few hours away, my love. We can’t slow them down anymore without sacrificing hundreds of soldiers,’ she said.
When Archer heard this, he stood up while speaking to the three women in an excited tone as the fight of fighting got his blood pumping. ’’I have to go deal with an enemy attack. They are trying to reclaim our new lands.’’
’’Can I come with you, please? I want to see how the battle plays out,’’ Inara asked with sparkling red eyes, which made him smile.
Before they left, another portal opened just as Ella, Leira, and Nefertiti appeared in the treehouse’s living room while chatting with each other but stopped when noticed Archer standing there.
’’Yes, but I won’t be fighting unless a Demi-God appears, but the main reason I’m going is to test out the necromancer sister’s armies,’’ he answered the lion woman before greeting the others with kisses and cuddles before opening a gate.
’’Ladies, I have some business to deal with,’’ he said while kissing the three women. ’’But when I’m done there, I’ll come spend some time with you.’’
Following that, Archer and Inara left the treehouse behind and appeared on the wall where Teuila was waiting for them, but he quickly noticed their legions forming up in front of the defenses, which reminded him of a scene from the movie Troy.
At the front stood the legionnaires, the Drakeguards in the center, and the Dragonblood Knights in the rear. He noticed archers and mages were at the back for protection from the enemy cavalry.
’’Morning husband, Inara,’’ the blue-haired beauty said with a big smile, bringing him back to reality. ’’Sera is terrorizing the enemy column like the gremlin she is.’’
’’How many enemy soldiers are we looking at Teu?’’ he questioned while watching the Dragonfire Company preparing their war machines.
’’A few million, at least. There are Duskfire, Goldenmane, and Demon troops among them,’’ the young woman answered. ’’Sera said that the armies stretch as far as the eyes can see which is worrying.’’
When Archer heard this, he chuckled before reassuring her. ’’Don’t worry Teu. The legions won’t suffer much as I have some armies to test.’’
After speaking, he walked off to the side and opened up a portal before calling out. ’’Ladies. Are you ready to come show me what you’ve created?’’
As Teuila and Inara stood there watching, moments later, the atmosphere instantly changed when two people stepped through the violet gate, causing them to gulp. The lioness glanced at the younger woman.
’’What is this horrible aura? Why does it feel like death has come for me?’’ she asked in a worried voice.
’’I don’t know,’’ the blue-haired woman answered as her hand gripped her hilt as two women stepped out of the portal.
Inara stepped back when a Demi-God Aura bore down on them. Teuila handled it well but was still struggling, as the power was much stronger than her own. Archer noticed the effects and spoke. ’’Can you beauties control your power, please? It’s affecting everyone around us.’’
Morena glanced around and noticed the trembling soldiers while Teuila was ready to attack, causing her to giggle. ’’I’m sorry, my love. I forget that I’m in the Domain most of the time, so I don’t think about it,’’ she apologized with a small bow.
Demacia nodded before making her way over to the two women who were watching the scene. ’’Teuila! It’s so good to see you!’’ she exclaimed.
The blue-haired woman giggled before hugging the necromancer. ’’How come you both have become so strong? The last time we met, it wasn’t like this.’’
’’Blame husband, his mana has seeped into our bodies and increased our power,’’ Demacia answered.
Archer chuckled before hugging the younger necromancer first and gave her a passionate kiss, which made her stiffen. Following that, he did the same with Morena before stepping back and asking. ’’Are you two ready to test out your new soldiers?’’
When Morena heard this, she looked surprised, but nodded. ’’I have two thousand Death Knights ready to fight and Dem has about five hundred Tyrants.’’
’’Good, that should blunt the impact of the Alliance’s first charge,’’ he answered before watching the legions standing still.
Moments later, Sera appeared in her dragon form while bleeding, which caught his attention. He quickly used the tattoo to teleport her to him, as she returned to her humanoid form and started hugging him.
’’Sweetheart! Their dragon weapons hurt me,’’ she said while nuzzling into his neck.
Archer cast Aurora Healing on the redhead before pulling her into a tight embrace. His voice trembled with barely restrained anger as he growled, ’’I’ll destroy them... and you’re coming with me.’’
Following that, he looked at Teuila with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. ’’Stay here and I’ll be back shortly. Get the soldiers to dig ditches in front of the legion to disrupt the enemy charge.’’
The blue-haired beauty nodded in agreement as he summoned his wings and launched into the sky. He soared over the vast desert, scanning the landscape until he spotted the Alliance army in the distance.
Without hesitation, he sped toward them, just as a wave of deadly mana hurtled his way. Sera gasped in panic, but Archer cast Cosmic Shield, the radiant barrier absorbing the attack before reflecting the spells back at the enemy army in a brilliant eruption of energy.
