A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1606: Havenʼt Missed One Yet

As Archer and Alexa traveled through the first chamber, she turned to him, a curious glint in her green eyes as she questioned. ʼʼWhat is this company you keep mentioning?ʼʼ

ʼʼOh, the Wyldheart Company, I started it six years ago, and Ella runs it for me,ʼʼ he replied, dodging a group of miners who had just finished work. ʼʼAll I have to do is build a few things and collect the profits.ʼʼ

ʼʼHow much do you keep?ʼʼ

ʼʼTwenty-five percent of anything El gives me,ʼʼ Archer revealed, chuckling. ʼʼThe rest goes to the Company or empire. Lately, the realm has been getting more funding for the numerous construction projects going on across three continents.ʼʼ

ʼʼInteresting,ʼʼ she said, beaming. ʼʼAt least youʼre not greedy, and the people seem to know it with the way they look at you.ʼʼ

Just then, a horrible groaning sound echoed out through the tunnel as a fissure opened up and creepy humanoids rushed out, screaming. An alarm blared while a commander shouted. ʼʼThe Deep Ones have come!ʼʼ

Archerʼs attention was caught before he summoned fifty Oathkeepers who formed a shieldwall while letting the miners pass by. Just then, the humanoid fish-looking things charged at them. The knightʼs spears thrust forward, impaling the creatures, killing them instantly.

Blood painted the walls, splattered across the stone as the soldiers pressed forward. Their boots echoed in the mining tunnel. Alexa stood frozen, her breath catching in her throat, stunned by the sheer carnage unfolding before her. The air was thick with the metallic tang of blood and roars of dying monsters collapsing under the onslaught.

Archer watched as the Oathkeepersʼ spears carved through the creatures with ease, rending limbs and piercing organs in a display of skill and ferocity. Each thrust was a symphony of destruction, tearing through sinew and bone, leaving a trail of grotesque, writhing bodies in their wake.

Alexaʼs wide eyes darted from one fallen beast to another, her mind struggling to process the overwhelming tide of violence and the giant knightʼs determination as they forged ahead, undeterred by the horrors surrounding them. After some time, the Deep Ones were all killed, and he sealed the breach using his mana.

ʼʼWhat the hell were those things, Arch?!ʼʼ the navy-haired woman questioned, shocked at the whole situation.

ʼʼThe race that lives in the deep sea,ʼʼ he revealed. ʼʼThey become annoying after a while, but the Imperial Guards are getting better at fighting the things.ʼʼ

Following that, the two continued with the tour of the mining tunnel as everything returned to normal. Workers returned, and the guards took their positions as they reached the second chamber, where many other tunnels branched off. Alexa was impressed. ʼʼThis would do wonders back on Earth, the amount of stuff lost to the sea is astounding, billions lost to the waves.ʼʼ

ʼʼMaybe one day,ʼʼ Archer answered. ʼʼBut at this point, that world has pissed me off.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre you going back to see Micha and Isabella? What about the twins and their friend?ʼʼ

ʼʼBelle? Iʼm going back to see them soon,ʼʼ he revealed. ʼʼThe harem says I should take a break from constant fighting or do something else.ʼʼ

ʼʼYou should, Arch,ʼʼ Alexa said, tightening her grip on his arm. ʼʼNo one can fight this much, it will break them down.ʼʼ

He glanced at her, violet eyes full of determination and resolve. ʼʼIʼll never stop fighting until this world is safe for my family, I wonʼt stop until the Terravians are gone, the Alliance is wiped out.ʼʼ

When the young woman felt the aura coming from him, she gulped. ʼItʼs true what the others said, heʼll never give up.ʼ

Archer teleported them to the undersea baseʼs bedroom, reserved for him by Mary and Aurelia. Upon materializing, Alexa dashed to the window, her eyes widening at the breathtaking view. Beyond the glass, the ocean floor unfurled endlessly, fields of flowers swaying gently as sea creatures glided through the depths.

ʼʼAre you not worried about the gods punishing you for what youʼve done here on Thrylos?ʼʼ she suddenly asked, a concerned expression crossing her face.

This caught Archer off guard but he shook his head. ʼʼNo. No one can punish me. Iʼm near enough a Dragon God, theyʼd either die trying. Lexi. So stop worrying because Tia wouldnʼt allow any deity to attack me thanks to her becoming even more powerful than she ever has.ʼʼ

ʼʼIs Tia the Tiamat the other women mention?ʼʼ she asked. ʼʼThe one woman you canʼt get even though you want her?ʼʼ

Archer bristled at this, he nodded though. ʼʼI know but it wonʼt be long until sheʼs beside me, maybe when the war finally ends?ʼʼ

Alexa beamed at this before the two sat down and relaxed. While doing this, the young woman glanced out of the window as a swarm of massive whales swam past the base, amazing her even more. He was loving her expressions whenever seeing the monsters passing by.

He got up and started making some tea for them while scanning the entire empire to see if there was any more trouble. After five minutes, the hot drinks were done and his mana didnʼt find anything. The Alliance had retreated past the no manʼs land that had been unofficially started months ago.

Archer stirred the tea, and handed the tea to Alexa who turned to him with a big smile. ʼʼThank you, Arch.ʼʼ

ʼʼYour welcome,ʼʼ he replied, sitting down in a comfortable chair.

While sitting there, Maryʼs voice echoed in his mind. ʼMy love, me and Nala are going into labour, do you want to be there for the birth?ʼʼ

Archerʼs ears twitched causing Alexa to question. ʼʼWhatʼs wrong, babe?ʼʼ

ʼʼMary and Nala are giving birth,ʼʼ he revealed, a guilty expression crossing his face. ʼʼTo be honest, I forgot they were pregnant thanks to everything that has happened.ʼʼ

When the navy-haired woman heard this, her eyes lit up as she asked. ʼʼCan I come with you please?!ʼʼ

ʼʼAlright,ʼʼ he replied, smiling.

They finished the tea and teleported back to the palace where they were greeted by the same old woman whoʼd been there during every birth. When she spotted him, she bowed while greeting. ʼʼMy lord. Iʼm glad youʼre here again, you havenʼt missed one yet.ʼʼ

ʼʼOf course I wouldnʼt when I can use magic to be anywhere,ʼʼ he responded. ʼʼAre they already in the room?ʼʼ

The woman nodded, causing him to turn to Alexa. ʼʼDo you mind waiting here until I ask them if you can join?ʼʼ

She gave him a smile, pushing him toward the door, speaking. ʼʼJust give me a shout when youʼve asked.ʼʼ

Following that, Archer stepped into the room only to see the mature Mary, covered in sweat as the pain increased. Next to her on another bed was Nala, she was growling thanks to the hard birth. When the two women spotted him, their faces lit up with smiles as the older woman spoke first. ʼʼHello, husband. Iʼm happy you could be here for this.ʼʼ

ʼʼI know you forgot about us being pregnant,ʼʼ the lioness chirped a teasing glint in her blue eyes.

Archer chuckled at this but kissed both, he stepped back, explaining. ʼʼSorry, Iʼve been busy lately between the trouble on Earth and the Allianceʼs attacks itʼs beena nightmare, I havenʼt intentionly forgot, it just got buried deep in my mind.ʼʼ

Nala giggled at this before dragging him into a hug as she nibbled his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. ʼʼThank you for giving me a cub, since meeting Freya Iʼve wanted your baby, and now Iʼve got what I wanted.ʼʼ

A cheeky smie streteched across her face, making him chuckle as he gave her a passionate kiss, while stroking her fluffy lions ear, making the young woman shiver in delight when the pleasure shot through her body. After he greeted Nala, he turned to the beaming Mary who pulled him into a tight hug.

ʼʼItʼs good to see you Arch, Iʼve missed you greatly,ʼʼ she whispered.

ʼʼIʼve missed you as well, Mary,ʼʼ he replied, making the older woman happy.

Following that, Archer asked the question he nearly forgot about. ʼʼGirls, can Alexa come in to support? She wanted to see you both.ʼʼ

They instantly agreed thanks to meeting her before and when the navy-haired woman appeared in the room, Nala was the first to greet her. ʼʼLexi! Itʼs good to see you, itʼs been too long since weʼve seen each other.ʼʼ

Alexa went to support the women while the nurses ushered him to a nearby chair, nervous expressions crossing their faces but when he listened, they sighed in relief thanks to bossing around the ruler of Draconia. He didnʼt care about that as these women were always there to help his harem.

Afterward, Archer watched the births as the nurses helped the women begin and hours passed until the first wail echoed throughout the room, Mary let out one last scream, pushing their daughter out, covered in blood but she was quickly cleaned up by the older woman who gently bathed the little girl.
