Chapter 946: War Machines & Dancing

Archer looked at the beautiful blue-haired Aquarian and smiled before questioning, “Well, remember when we went to Oakheart Kingdom in those large airships?”

Teuila and Nefertiti nodded, leaving Lucrezia curious as he continued speaking, “I’ve commissioned a dozen Mana Airships for the kingdom, but the dwarf family created a smaller, faster airship that was stolen from the Fangoria Empire, which specializes in war engines.”‘

“So you’re creating more war machines along with the train and underwater stuff?” Nefertiti asked, her pink eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Yes. I remember some stuff from my old life. All I have to do is explain or draw them for Farrah, Dagny, or Dellah, and they build them but add their tweaks to them, which ends up coming out amazing whenever they finish a project,” Archer explained, which fascinated the three women.

“What can the underwater vessels do?” Lucrezia questioned after taking a sip of the wine.

Archer smiled at the blonde before answering in an excited tone as he loved this thing, “Well, the Draconian Deep Sea Bases will be used by Underwater Legions that can react to any threats within minutes thanks to the Submarines, Trident’s Fury, and many other vessels we haven’t named yet, but there is one thing Farrah is designing.”

He pulled out a blueprint and handed it to Lucrezia, who looked confused, “Why does this look like a firework?””

Her question made Archer laugh, but he quickly shook his head before explaining, “It’s called a mana missile, Luce. The army, navy, air force, and even the underwater forces will be using it. They can be launched from Dellah’s specially designed machines and are capable of targeting precise locations.”

“What do they do that magic can’t?” Teuila asked.

“Burrow through metal, stone, and many other materials can be used to pinpoint precision as long as the operators have the coordinates, but my idea was to use them against the Swarm when they eventually reappear,” Archer explained with a knowing smile.

Everyone smiled as the waiter returned, pushing several trolleys laden with their food. A team of men and women unloaded the dishes onto the tables before quietly leaving the private

room.

Archer began to eat, but the women looked at him wide-eyed as Teuila commented nervously, “Didn’t we beat them?”

He frowned and shook his head before explaining, “No. They’re still around, and I believe the creatures are aiding some of the kingdoms joining the growing Anti-Draconia Alliance.”

The three women looked concerned, but Archer reassured them that everything would be fine and Draconia would be prepared to fight on several fronts. Following that, the group started eating, which they all enjoyed.

Archer was eating spicy rice, which burned his tongue. He continued eating while chatting with the women. Nefertiti told him about the Runes she, Leira, and Hemera designed to protect villages, towns, and cities from magic bombardment.

Once the succubus finished speaking, Lucrezia informed him that many sea monsters were lurking around the island and must be dealt with. They’d been attacking the fishing fleet, and whenever a strike group arrived, the creature would vanish into the darkness.

When Archer heard this, he nodded before answering, “I will help find them in the morning before checking on the mining platforms.”

“I will come as well,” Teulia exclaimed with a smile. “I love patrolling the sea, it’s peaceful.”

He nodded before the four started eating once again. The waiter returned to the room and asked, “Would you like some wine, Your Majesty?”

“Yes. Bring several bottles for us,” Archer answered, taking out some gold coins and handing them to the young man.

The waiter thanked him before leaving the room; Archer continued to eat until he was full and stopped stuffing himself as the young man reappeared with a tray of ten bottles, which looked expensive.

Nefertiti took one of them and started filling their glasses before she raised a glass, “To Draconia and its wonderful future,” the succubus said while looking at him with a smile.

Archer blew her a kiss while everyone toasted. Soon after, they all started drinking, and Teuila informed him that Eveline and Aurelia would be arriving on Draconia along with Lioran, his women, and Cian’s fiance, Cassie.

He was happy because most of their realms were friendly with him and didn’t believe the rumors. When Ella and Maeve appeared on their doorsteps offering the group safety, their parents quickly accepted as the tension on Pluoria was bad.

Eveline’s mother had even requested a place in Draconia should anything happen, a request Archer had gladly accepted. As the meal concluded and the group finished their drinks, Lucrezia and Nefertiti decided to return to the palace.

However, Teuila, with her eyes full of hopeful anticipation, wanted to extend their time together. Unable to resist her heartfelt gaze, Archer smiled and said, “Alright, Teu. Let’s find something fun to do.”

Her face lit up with a bright, grateful smile, and together, they set out to enjoy the evening. Archer walked the other two women to the carriage and ordered the Imperial Knights to take them home.

After saying goodbye to them, Teuila excitedly grabbed his hand and pointed to a building in the distance, “Let’s dance, Arch! It’s been years since I’ve been able to do it,” she exclaimed

with a bright smile.

Archer agreed and started approaching the dancehall, which was Ella’s idea for the people to have some fun. The couple entered the building to see dozens of couples dancing while the

band played a catchy song.

With a beautiful smile, Teuila dragged him toward the dancefloor. The pulse of the music thrummed through the air as the duo stepped onto the wooden floor. The dancehall was full of color and movement, with partners twirling in perfect harmony to the joyful tune played by the band.

When they hit the dancefloor, he noticed her gorgeous blue eyes sparkled with excitement. She took the lead; her refined movements were elegant. Teuila guided Archer effortlessly, her hands guiding his as if they were creating a symphony of motion.

His initial awkwardness melted away under her guidance, and he found himself caught up in the rhythm. “Just follow my lead, Arch!” Teuila laughed; her voice was like music to his ears, and he came to love her exotic accent.

Her confidence and joy were contagious with every step, and his movements became more fluid. Archer caught on quickly, his body moving in time with the beat, matching her energy, causing them to start having even more fun.

As the song’s beat picked up, so did their performance. Teuila spun and twirled with astonishing fineness; her sky-blue ponytail swayed everywhere. Archer matched her with increasingly daring moves, replacing his earlier uneasiness with a lively determination. The crowd, initially focused on their dancing, began to take notice of them. Whispers of admiration spread, and soon, eyes were drawn to the two figures dominating the center of then/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

floor.

When the band spotted their growing energy, they picked up the rhythm of the music, encouraging them to. The couple’s dance became a whirl of moves and excitement. She executed intricate spins and dips, each movement seamlessly flowing into the next. Archer noticed the beaming smile on her face, and her eyes were full of love, charming him before they continued. Fully absorbed in the moment, Archer responded with agility and coordination, lifting Teuila effortlessly and twirling her through the air with a flourish.

The surrounding crowd’s cheers grew louder, a wave of encouragement that fed into their performance. Hands clapped, voices shouted support as the couple danced with unrestrained

joy.

At one particularly thrilling moment, Teuila leaped into his arms, and he spun her around as she let out a mesmerizing laugh with a big smile on her pretty face. The music reached a crescendo as she floated back down to the floor.

Archer noticed the music began to end, but the applause and cheers continued, a testament to the electrifying energy of the dancehall. As the song’s last notes faded away, the couple stood in the center of the floor, breathless and beaming.

They took a bow, their eyes meeting with shared satisfaction and joy. The crowd’s clapping and cheers seemed to envelop them, a fitting end to a performance that had captured the

spirit of the evening.

Teuila threw her arms around Archer in a tight embrace, her laughter ringing out as the crowd continued to cheer. He happily hugged the blue-haired girl before thinking, ‘This was a fun experience; I’ll have to do stuff with the others.”

The couple then got some drinks from the bar before sitting down and getting some rest. Another dance began, but they just watched it while feeling buzzed thanks to the sweet-

tasting ale they were sipping on.

Following that, Archer grabbed her hand, and the couple started walking back to the palace as the moon shined overhead. While walking through Dragonhold, he realized it was a night city, and hundreds of people were doing their business.

As they passed through the city gate and began their journey along the road to Dragonheart, the weather took a turn for the worse. Within half an hour, the calm snowfall escalated into a fierce snowstorm, its icy gusts howling and whipping around them.

Archer quickly reacted, casting a Cosmic Shield to protect them from the biting cold and

swirling snow. Despite the shield’s protective barrier, the storm’s intensity grew, reducing visibility to just a few feet ahead.

The relentless snowfall and howling winds were both disorienting and frustrating, making the journey increasingly burdensome for them both.
