A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer nodded, but Drogan decided it was a good time to introduce his family. With a big smile on his weathered face, he started speaking and motioned for a younger dwarf man. ''This is my oldest son, Thordar Oakenshield. I brought him along because he's an expert at building war machines. I thought you'd like to meet him.''

He looked at Thordar, who looked like the younger version of Drogan but had blood-red hair, which was the same color as his long braided beard. All this stood out on his short but bulky warrior-like frame.

The young dwarf stepped forward and bowed, ''Ma Lord, it's good to meet ya finally. I have a weapon that would fit perfectly on the kingdom's walls if you allow me to help ya.''

Archer grinned before looking at Aisha, ''Have the army build the Oakenshield Family a workshop to produce stuff for the kingdom while constructing my farms and the other projects. I also want you to inform the army that they should build naval bases in the places I marked on this.''

She nodded, but he continued after handing her the map, ''And put up a notice asking for skilled laborers to help the army with construction. Everyone will be paid, so don't worry. We need to get the kingdom up and running soon.''

Aisha smiled and respectfully bowed, ''It will be done, Your Majesty.''

That's when he remembered something and asked, ''My queen. Do we have a secure location to store the kingdom's wealth?''

She nodded, ''We constructed a bank years ago, Your Majesty.''

When hearing her response, he jumped up and told everyone to wait as he returned to the domain, but this time, he appeared in his lair, where a neverending mountain of gold and silver coins sat untouched while gathering dust.

As Archer looked around, he saw numerous chests he hadn't emptied into the room. He stored them all in his Item Box before returning to Aisha's office. When they all saw him, Teuila inquired, ''What did you do, husband?''

He grinned before holding out his hand and summoned all the chests of gold, which shocked everyone, including Teuila. Archer looked at Mohamet, ''Call for the White Knights and tell them to secure this wealth in the kingdom's bank.''

The old man nodded before rushing out of the room, only to return minutes later with twenty soldiers who started taking the chests to the bank. After that, Aisha tore her blue eyes away from the pile of chests and asked suspiciously, ''What do you plan to do with the coins?''

''Build forts, cities, towns, villages, roads, and many other projects. The wealth is from bandits anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me,'' Archer answered before turning back to Drogan, who was staring in wide-eyed amazement at the pile of wealth.

"Thordar, start drawing designs and hiring workers for when your workshop is up and running. We will need a large number of weapons to station along the wall for security," Archer said as he turned to the younger dwarf.

He nodded, ''Yes Ma Lord.''

Archer turned to Drogan and questioned, ''Who has the knowledge to build warships? I want to create The Draconia Royal Navy.''

The old dwarf grinned before stepping behind the two women, ''These are my beautiful granddaughters, Dagny and Solveig. They love building ships and the weapons needed for them.''

Archer glanced at the dwarf girl before him, noting the untamed black hair that fell in waves down her back. He was drawn to her full figure, which he hadn't seen on Thrylos so far. She wasn't fat, but she wasn't slim either.

Dagny's face carried a soft fullness that spoke of life. Her cheeks were rounded and rosy. At the center, her lips, full and well-defined, curve into a smile that radiates warmth and invites friendly conversation.

Her eyes, framed by thick lashes, sparkle with intelligence and kindness. He found her extremely attractive despite being a chunky girl. Archer noticed the gleam of wisdom in her beautiful yellow eyes, a clear sign of knowledge waiting to be unlocked.

That's when he turned his attention to the other dwarf woman, who had the same red hair as Thordar but was muscular instead of chunky like Dagny, which surprised him.

She stood a bit taller than her sister, but her body looked compact yet remarkably strong. Her muscles were well-

defined, and each curve was carved from dedication and strength. Archer noticed her striking face, a blend of sharp angles and soft contours that formed a fierce beauty.

Her full lips, a bold and sensual feature, are often set in a determined line, ready to take on any challenge. Her yellow eyes, intense and captivating, hold a fiery spirit that is both alluring and formidable.

This woman carries herself with an air of confidence that is as undeniable as her physical prowess. She is a force to be reckoned with, her beauty matched only by her strength.

Despite being muscular, Archer noticed she still had her feminine curves and massive boobs. He shook his head after ogling the two dwarves and spoke with a charming smile, ''It's a pleasure to meet you both. I have a few designs I want you to look at. Maybe you can improve them.''

The redhead Solveig stepped forward and inquired in an exotic accent, ''What ships do you want us to build, bossman?''

When Aisha, Mohamet, and Drogan heard how she spoke to him, they would scold her, but Archer stopped them as he revealed, ''Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates.''

Dagny was next to speak, '' I've never heard of them, handsome. Can you show us?''

Archer smiled before pulling out four pieces of paper and handing them to the dwarf sisters, who happily took his drawings.

They poured over them as he turned to Aisha and instructed, ''Gather anyone you think can be trusted to work in the government. We need smart and trustworthy people who can manage the kingdom's affairs. I will leave more instructions with Mohamet.''

Aisha nodded and left the room after bowing, followed by the other officials. Arienne and Bailey tried to stay behind, but the dragonkin woman shouted their names, forcing them to leave. Not before the fox woman pecked Archer on the cheek with a teasing smile.

Once they were gone, it was only him, Teuila, Mohamet, and the dwarves. Archer looked at Drogan and asked, ''I trust you will create useful stuff for my kingdom?''

''Yes, Ma Lord. In my two hundred years, I have learned many things I will use for Draconia,'' Drogan responded, causing Archer to smile.

After speaking, Dagny spoke excitedly: '' What ya got here is a command ship, heavy, medium, and lightships that we would have used in the Steelhammer Kingdom, but they look much stronger. They are great designs and handsome. The Draconia Royal Navy will be a powerhouse, especially when some of our brothers join.''

When the chunky woman finished speaking, she flashed him a beautiful smile, which caught him off guard. This caused Teuila to laugh as she leaned over to whisper, ''I didn't realize you like a girl with some meat on her. I honestly don't blame you. She's stunning and seems lovely.''

Archer agreed and nodded before talking: ''I will create the docks tonight, but that's the only stuff I'm building. It takes up too much mana and gives me a bad headache.''

The papers the dwarf sisters were looking at were Archer's attempt at drawing cool-looking warships in his spare time, but he soon asked the two a question: "Can you build them?"

Solveig answered in her sister's place, ''Yes, bossman! And we can redesign them to be stronger than the ones you drew.''

Archer was happy to hear that, but as he was about to speak, Ella sent him a message through the bracelet telling him they were ready to attend the tournament. His fight was after Nefertiti's and Ella's.

When hearing that, Archer tells the dwarf sister he will visit them during his journey back to the empire and, in the meantime, redesign them.

After that, Dagny turned, looked up at him, and spoke, ''The Doompulse Cannons will be perfect for these battleships, while the Howler Cannons can be used on the other ships. We need to create more weapons, but this loadout should do for the first fleet until we can upgrade them.''

He agreed with a smile, ''Well, I'll come to see you two another day to go over plans, but I have to head back now. I got some fights to win.''

Before leaving, Archer pulled out some paper and wrote down instructions for Aisha:

Ensure Tiamat is the kingdom's goddess and inform her followers that they can build churches in Draconia if they help with the kingdom's construction.

Send out scouts to see what resources the massive island had and what precious metals the mines produced.

Using the army and volunteers, create market towns, port cities, and trade hubs throughout the kingdom. Also, roadside inns and waystations for traders traveling through Draconia should be built.

After writing, he wrote something for the dragonkin woman: [I want The Draconia Kingdom to be focused on the military and trade. Mohamet tells me you can accomplish this, so prove it, and I will reward you, My Queen]

After completing his tasks, Archer opened a portal to the domain and bid farewell to Mohamet and the dwarf engineers. He and Teuila stepped through the violet gate and emerged in the treehouse.
