A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1146: Play With My Hair

Archer met the gaze of the Vorrukhm King and gave a firm nod. ”That works for me, Korak. I already have an Imperial Guard, but you and your warriors will stand alongside them to

ensure the safety of me and my family.”

Following that, the big humanoid gave him a big smile before rushing off to help his people set up in the tunnels. While watching Korak go, he opened a portal as the Stone Men appeared while carrying all kinds of monsters.

They just threw them into the surrounding forest where the creatures fled in terror, which made him chuckle. Once the last Stone Man appeared, he closed the portal before teleporting back to the jungle.

Archer continued walking through the dense trees while kidnapping any monsters he spotted until something that caught his interest attacked him. The creature lunged out of a nearby bush and tried to bite his arm.

He used Mana Manipulation and grabbed the monster before lifting it into the air with a grin as he scanned it.

[Drakkuri]

[Rank S]

The creature before Archer was a monstrous, fifteen-foot-long centipede, its dark green body coiling and writhing. The centipedeʼs massive mandibles, snapping hungrily at him, caught Archerʼs attention.

Despite their ferocity, it couldnʼt move thanks to his unyielding grip. The sound of its chittering legs sent a shiver down his spine, an unsettling rhythm that echoed in the silence.

Its exoskeleton appeared as tough as stone, almost impervious to any attack. Interesting, Archer mused. Are all insect-like monsters this resilient? He smirked. Doesnʼt matter. Theyʼre all mine to control.

Without hesitation, Archer delivered a powerful punch to the monster, shattering its exoskeleton in an explosive burst. As he stood there, a thought crossed his mind. With a smirk, he decided to rename his spell.

ʼSoul Sunder is boring. Soul Eater sounds much better,ʼ he thought with an excited grin.

Once he was done, Archer turned toward the injured monster and ate its soul to find out where its home was. Thousands of pointless memories flowed into his mind, which annoyed him, but minutes later, he found the Drakkuri Colony.

Following that, he cast Mana Manipulation on himself as he vanished after dropping the Drakkuri corpse into the Domain. Archer watched as the body vanished and some monsters grabbed it.

This made him chuckle, but he summoned an army of Stone Men and ordered them to capture more monsters, which they could throw into the Domain thanks to him setting up a timer.

”Donʼt come look for me. Just throw them into the portals that will open whenever one of you has a monster,” he informed the quiet stone soldiers.

They charged into the dense jungle, eager to gather food for the ever-expanding Domain and nourish his growing Monster Army. Meanwhile, he pressed on deeper into the wilds, his eyes scanning the foliage with a curious gleam.

After searching the jungle for a while but didnʼt find any creatures, Archer decided it was time to head back to the shore and check on the progress of the fortress. Ten minutes later, he arrived and noticed the Legionnaires patrolling the area.

The wall, standing at a formidable ten meters, loomed over the jungle below. Archerʼs eyes traced the top of the wall, where cannon ports were strategically placed, each surrounded by sharp metal spikes designed to prevent any monsters from attempting to climb.

Towering structures dotted the length of the wall, rising even higher, while an imposing metal gate protected the soldiers inside against the wild dangers beyond. As the soldiers caught sight of him, they immediately dropped to one knee in respect.

But with a smile, he gestured for them to rise. ”No need to kneel out here,” he said. ”Nightmares are hiding in the dark, and we donʼt want to draw attention.”ʼ

After speaking, Archer summoned an army of Shadow Creatures before ordering, ”Protect the perimeter and let me know if any monsters appear.”

When the Legionnaires saw this, their faces paled, but he spoke, ”Go around and tell the other patrols to get into the fortress. If the wall guards need some help, then do that.”

The two men nodded before darting off as he used Blink to appear atop the wall to check on the rest of the fortress. When Archer appeared on the top, he looked out over a massive tent city in between half-built buildings.

Lastly, the port sat in the distance. There was a transport docked while unloading materials for the bastion on the dangerous Placidia Continent. Seconds later, he noticed a massive tent by the shore, which he guessed was his.

ʼLooks like the legions set up a place for me,ʼ Archer mused with a smile. ʼNow I can rest until the fleet is repaired.ʼ

He glanced toward the entrance of the bay, where towering hundred-foot waves relentlessly crashed against the rocks. Without a momentʼs hesitation, he used Blink to teleport directly inside the tent, seeking shelter from the tempest outside.

As Archer appeared, his eyes landed on Elara, who was deeply engrossed in a book. Startled by his sudden presence, the redhead let out a yelp, dropping the book to the floor, but soon started to smile.

”You scared me, Arch,” she said with a smile, her hand brushing her hair back. ”I was just waiting for a message from you.”

”I have an idea to mess with the Alliance. Itʼll throw them into chaos,” Archer said, a mischievous grin tugging at his lips.

Elaraʼs smile widened, her excitement obvious as her blue eyes gleamed. ”Do it, husband!” she exclaimed.

Without hesitation, Archer summoned thousands of Mana balls, sending them soaring across Thrylos. Each one streaked in a different destination, entering every capital city, town, and village in the Alliance.

As they arrived, the Mana balls expanded, forming massive screens in the sky which shocked every person that saw them. Stepping forward with a confident, charming smile, Archer addressed the world.

”ʼThrylos,ʼʼ he began, his voice carrying over the world, ”this is the White Dragon King. I have returned to my world and discovered that it has turned against me. Youʼre all fools to believe the Alliance and their lies about me being evil.”

With a flick of his hand, Archer conjured mana screens displaying vivid scenes of the relentless attacks he had survived at the hands of the Church and Novgorod Empire. The images of

battles and betrayals played out for all to see as he continued.

”As you can see,” he said, his tone sharp and commanding, ”these pests have been attacking me for years, leaving me no choice but to act. Soon, I will release my legions upon any kingdom or empire allied with the Alliance will fall under my conquest. Now, I urge you to ask your rulers why they are dragging you into a brutal war that will forever reshape Thrylos.” Following that, Archer shut down the mana balls before collapsing on a nearby sofa as Elara spoke up, ”You know that will cause people to question the nobles? It will give the Alliance a severe headache to deal with.”

”Thatʼs the plan, beautiful,” he replied while pulling the dragonkin woman onto his lap. ”Now shut up and play with my hair. I love it when you girls do it to me.”ʼ

Elara giggled before running her fingers through his hair as Archerʼs eyes closed because of felt relaxed. While that was happening, a portal opened, Maeve, Talila, Nyx and Alexa stepped out with curious expressions.

”Is this the Placidia fortress darling?” the orange-haired woman commented while poking her head out of the tent.

Archer smiled when he saw the four women as he answered, ”Yes, I went around collecting monsters while making sure the area was safe.”ʼ

Maeve nodded with a smile before going to make some tea alongside Alexa as the other two sat down in front of the fireplace. The silver-haired elf looked at him with a loving smile. ”Liv said the fleet repairs will be complete in a week. The damage is sufficient that they had to use magic to keep the ships afloat.”

”It will get them used to fixing the fleet. This will give the sailors some much-needed experience,” he replied while taking out some hot meat as Elara stood up and stretched.

”Wouldnʼt that be inconvenient if you were in your enemyʼs waters?” Alexa questioned from

behind them.

Archer glanced at her with a charming smile as he responded, ”Yes, but they wonʼt be repairing the fleet when deployed, only when somewhere safe like we are now.” Following that, Maeve gave everyone a cup of tea as Talila continued, ”Loads of damage are from the mana shells that breached the shields and underwater strikes.” ʼShould I help them? That would make it easy for them,ʼ he thought with a curious expression.

Just as Archer was going to speak, thunder boomed overhead as a rainstorm started lashing everything inside the walls. Nyx sighed as she spoke, ”I canʼt wait until the sun appears again.

The storms are getting on my nerves.”
