When the big humanoid heard this, he nodded excitedly while answering, ''Very good, there are many monsters to hunt and eat. We've built hos for everyone and still have enough space.''
Archer smiled when hearing Korak's excitent about their new ho. He quickly spoke, which excited the Vorrukhm even more, ''I'm having my wife design armor and weapons for your people. Do you still want to be my bodyguards?''
''Yes, Master! We want to beco the royal family protectors,'' Korak answered in a respectful tone. ''You have given us a new life that will want to return to favor.''
''Then that's what you will beco Korak. Choose one hundred of your finest warriors and I'll have my wife Dellah bring your equipnt when it's done,'' he inford the Vorrukhm King.
Following that, they continued chatting until Grak hugged him from behind as he exclaid, ''My Friend! I've missed you.''
Archer started laughing as the young Vorrukhm put him down while patting his shoulder. ''Thank you for this place. It's so big that and the gang took days to explore around the camp.''
''That's good, just be careful out there Grak,'' he replied with a chuckle. ''Many powerful monsters are lurking in the darkness.''
When the young prince heard this, he quickly nodded like a chicken. ''Yes, Mama told she saw a group of Broodmaws lurking nearby.''
After that, Grak wandered off as he turned to Korak and revealed, ''I will return when I have your equipnt, then I'll let the current Imperial Guard help you get situated with your duties.''
The king nodded before getting back to his tribe. Archer watched him leave before teleporting back to the real world. He reappeared in Hera's room and noticed the sun elf was still sleeping.
With a yawn, he crawled back into bed, causing her to cuddle up to him with a sweet smile. Archer soon fell asleep after becoming comfortable. Hours later, a knock on the door woke the couple up.
Ella burst in with a worried expression as she exclaid, ''Frostfallen and Orientia have fully joined the Alliance! It's now the world against us.''
Upon hearing this, Archer chuckled before responding, ''Don't worry about it El, wait until my projects are completed.''
The half-elf nodded, ''Nefertiti, Leira, and redith are waiting for you at the entrance. What are you up to?'' she said with a smile.
Archer got out of bed with a chuckle when seeing Ella's curious expression. He quickly explained, ''They are working on the Steel Legion Project. It's where we offer the mutilated soldiers a second chance at life by undergoing the Steel Process.''
''Stell Process?'' Hera questioned in a tired voice while rubbing her eyes.
''Yes, I ca up with a way to create super soldiers that will serve as our bodyguards and shock troopers,'' he answered the golden-haired elf.
She nodded with a smile before Ella asked, ''Are they still alive?''
''They are,'' Archer replied, his tone confident. ''The experint enhances their power through the procedure I devised, but Leira will refine it further as they collaborate.'' With that, he leaned in and kissed Ella gently.
The blonde lted into his embrace, returning the kiss as she steadied herself against his chest. When they finally parted, she glanced up at him, her half-elf eyes alight with understanding.
''So that's why the Guard has been bringing veterans to the entrance,'' she remarked.
Archer nodded with a warm smile and said, ''You two, I'll go et the others and handle the project.''
Ella and Hera both agreed, bidding him farewell as they turned to each other and began chatting. With a last glance, Archer left the room before heading toward the entrance where Nefi, Leira, and re were waiting.
Ten minutes later, he arrived in the foyer, where the group eagerly welcod him. The succubus stepped forward first, wrapping him in a warm embrace with a radiant smile. ''Husband! We've agreed on a place to begin, but we need sowhere to start the project.''
He listened intently, his mind already racing with possibilities while thinking. 'I'll build it in the Domain to keep it hidden.'
With a charming smile, Archer turned to the three won. ''I have an idea,'' he said confidently. ''We'll need to keep it hidden from most people, so I'll build you a new lab.''
The won exchanged glances and nodded in agreent. Without wasting ti, Archer opened a portal to the Domain and stepped through, the trio following closely behind. When they appeared in an empty part with mountains in the distance.
Leira looked around with wide eyes as she questioned, ''Why does this place feel bigger?''
Archer chuckled before replying, ''It is. I'd say it's the size of Thrylos by now and is a world in itself.''
''So you're a god?'' redith exclaid in shock.
This made everyone laugh as Nefertiti explained while giggling, ''No re, it's just mana. He cannot create people or monsters, just non-living objects.''
When the blonde maid heard this, she nodded in understanding, causing Archer to close his eyes before creating a massive lab for the three, along with a workshop for Dellah and leaving quarters for the test subjects.
Minutes later, he raised a mountain above the buildings and the only entrance was a long tunnel that would keep the secrets safe. Once Archer was done, he turned to the trio, who were staring at him with wide eyes.
Leira turned to the pink-haired woman before comnting, ''And you're sure he isn't a good?''
''I'm a Demi-God,'' Archer spoke up while motioning toward the entrance as he spoke, ''Go check out your workspace, I'll go get the soldiers and make sure they understand what they're getting into.''
The three won quickly kissed him as they rushed into their new lab. He watched them leave before teleporting back to the palace entrance and making his way toward the injured soldiers.
Five minutes later, Archer arrived at a side hall where three hundred n and won with many permanent injuries waited. When they spotted him, they saluted, which made him smile before speaking. ''I asked for you to co here as I have an offer that could give you back your lives but in service to and my family.''
When the humans, elves, demi-humans, and demons heard this, worry etched across their faces. A woman, her body marked with scars and burns, stepped forward hesitantly and asked, her voice tinged with fear, ''Will we be slaves?''
Archer shook his head, ''No, but you won't be the sa anymore. I will turn you into deadly weapons that will be feared across Thrylos,'' he revealed, which excited the crowd.
The woman nodded before a man spoke up. ''And what is our goal?''
''To protect the Draconia Royal Family, my palaces, and act as my elite soldiers in the Great War,'' he answered the wheelchair-bound Legionnaire.
Archer turned to the crowd while speaking, ''This is my only offer, I ca up with it to help the crippled soldiers fight again, over ti the kingdom will see it as a great honor to join the Steel Legion as the citizens see them as protectors.''
''What about training?'' a young demon woman comnted.
''I'll have the best teachers train you in everything,'' Archer replied confidently, his tone reassuring. ''And I'll ensure the Steel Legion receives the finest armor and weapons before the regular army.''
When the soldiers heard this, they looked interested, causing him to seal the deal. ''Each family will get forty gold coins per month. I'll pay it personally so everyone here knows I'm serious.''
That sold it as their eyes glead with loyalty and respect. Everyone wanted to join, which made Archer smile before turning to the Imperial Guard Commander and throwing him a pouch of gold. ''Take this to their families. You have a list of all the people here?''
The man nodded and saluted before leaving the hall as he turned to the crowd. ''Stay here. I'm going to make sure your rooms are ready.''
Following that, Archer returned to the Domain and summoned a cohort of Imperial Guard who looked confused but he quickly explained. ''You will guard this place and the three queens within. I'll rotate you in a couple of months and build you a barracks.''
When the soldiers heard him, they saluted as he got to work creating an apartnt block right outside the Steel Legion Lab. Minutes later, he turned to the commanders. ''Speak to Queen Leira to see where you're needed.''
Once Archer was finished talking, he sent a ssage to the cat woman. She asked to be summoned, and as she appeared, a bright smile lit up her face at the sight of him. ''Having the Imperial Guard here during the experints will be incredibly useful,'' she remarked warmly.
''Go for it, I can send more if you need,'' he replied before kissing her on the forehead.
Leira bead and rushed to the lab while giving the soldier's orders. Archer watched as ten of them stood at the entrance of the cave as others checked out the barracks he built for them.
