A Journey That Changed The World.

While Archer was enjoying his time with the women on the ship, the other twenty were meeting at the harem hall. Ella had called for a conference of wives to discuss their roles in the upcoming war.

She was standing by the door with Brooke and Ari who were the strongest of them all, they made sure everything would be civil between the women. The half-elf turned to the Elemental woman and asked, "Are you sure he's safe?"

"Master is fine, he's just catching up with the others," Ari replied as the first group arrived.

Brooke giggled when hearing Ella's worry and commented with a smile, "Little Light is fine El, he's stronger than you think."

''I'm just concerned that the Swarm will get to him and use one of their devious weapons," she answered the two mature women.

Ari turned her head to the south as light emanated from her blindfold as she revealed, "Archer cannot be hurt by their weapons, except for the Anti-Dragon cannons they have, but it won't kill him."

"That's good then, I know we've been preparing but the influx of refugees has overstretched the kingdom's resources," Ella said with a sigh. "Aisha said the legions are building more cities to accommodate them."

Brooke shook her head, "Why is that stubborn bitch still funding all this? The people will leave once the war is over and Draconia will falter," she said in annoyance.

"It's not Aisha, it's our husband, Brooke," Ari spoke up. "And the people won't leave, once they experience life here they won't want to leave."

The mature brunette scoffed, "Still a waste of gold when there's already billions of citizens. At this point it's stupid."

They ignored her complaints as Ella noticed Kassandra, Sera, Hemera, and Teuila walking down the corridor. The dragon woman was bouncing around in excitement as she exclaimed, "Darling's back! I can't wait to see him."

Teuila giggled before grabbing her shoulder, "Calm down Seraphina, he will be here in a few days. You know they have to guard the 1st Fleet."

Sera stopped with her excitement as she frowned, "Sorry, I'm just happy that he's finally back after all these months."'

"Once Archer arrives, I'm sure he will pamper every one of us while working on the kingdom," Kassandra commented from the side.

The other three looked at her as Hemera replied with an amused smile, "Now the brooding Kraken speaks up, what's wrong with you?"

"I think the Swarm may have got to the other Underrealm races," Kassandra revealed in a concerned voice. "It will put pressure on the navy if they can't build more ships to combat them."

Teuila agreed with a nod, "It's worrying but the Underwaters Bases can help, Dellah said everything is operational, and the soldiers are being trained."

Following that, they stopped when Ella commented with a smile, "You girls are forgetting about the Draconian Airforce that Archer established a while back."

When Sera heard this her excitement exploded as she jumped on the half-elf while hugging her, "How did I forget! Ella, you're a genius."'

The dragon woman hugged her tight before Teuuila dragged her off the blonde woman, "Don't jump on people Seraphina, Archer may like it but we don't."

Sera's ruby-red eyes flared but they were interrupted by Leira, Hecate, Llynial, and Halime who appeared from a nearby corner. The cat girl smiled when seeing the others and spoke in a cheerful voice, "Everyone's nearly here, it's been a year since we've all come together."

''Near enough,'' Ella replied with a welcoming smile. "I've heard about everything you girls have done, especially you Hali, nice work on the Universal Antidote."

The snake woman beamed with pride as she replied, "Well, Llyn helped me with the flowers, but I've been researching it for years. It's only recently that I had a breakthrough thanks to the Star Flower."

"That's a rare flower that blooms when shooting stars pass over it," the wood elf chirped from behind.

Everyone turned to the brunette who continued, "I have a few hundred of them growing in the south, I gave one to Halime for her experiments and according to her it stabilized the potion."

Most of them didn't know much about it but Hecate commented, "It's a good potion, the Dragonheart Company could have earned millions of gold, unfortunately, we only do business here."

"For now," Brooke said in an amused voice from behind them. "Come on ladies, get comfortable while we wait for the others."'

Everyone agreed and took seats on one of the number of chairs as Hemera spoke up, "Why are we all meeting? I thought we all had roles in the kingdom?"

"We need to find out who will be leading the armies and fighting on the frontline," Ari answered as she appeared near the window. "Not all of you can fight in the war and will be better supporting the kingdom from Draconia."

The women nodded in agreement just as the final group of nine entered the room. Ella noticed Fianna deep in conversation with Dellah and Aisha. Following them were Nefertiti, Sia, and Lucrezia, who greeted everyone warmly before taking their seats.

The last to arrive were Meredith, Mary, and Edith, each settling into their chairs with a nod. Once everyone was seated, the half-elf rose to her feet, drawing their attention. "Hello, everyone," she began with a confident smile. "This marks the first official Wive's Conference. We'll gather like this whenever important matters emerge that need to be discussed within the harem."

When the women heard this there were all kinds of expressions but Leira was the first to speak up, "This is a good idea, we could do this in case Archer wants to add any more to this small

army."

Everyone laughed as Brooke exclaimed, "That lewd dragon is a collector of beautiful women, we need to keep an eye on him."

This made the women laugh even more as Ella smiled, "Good idea Leira, according to Ari, he has grown up during his time away which is a good thing I think."'

"What do you mean think?" Nefertiti questioned while tying her pink hair into a ponytail. "I don't want anyone else joining, the harem is big enough as it is."'

Ella glanced over at Ari, who rose from her seat with a warm smile. Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, she started, "Our husband doesn't flirt with other women. While he was trapped on Earth, he did speak to many, but he isn't pursuing any of them. Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for those women, but that's just how life is."

When Nefertiti heard this a happy smile appeared, and that's when the mature dwarf informed the group in a cheerful voice, "The ship and air yards are pumping out war machines every day but we need people to use them. How's the training coming along?"

"We're training as many soldiers as we can," Aisha answered with a serious expression. "So many people are joining that there's trouble with housing them all, the forts are all full to the brim along with the sea wall castles."

As everyone heard this Sera questioned in a curious voice, "Why not get the legions to build more? And can't we ship some of the recruits to the four islands?"

When the large group of women heard the dragon's suggestion they looked at her like a genius as Fianna spoke up, "That could work out Aisha, It means we'll have the older legions train the younger ones but it will take some time to get them fully prepared."

As this conversation the harem descended into chaos as groups broke off, Ella noticed they were deciding the best way to help the government with the legions. She smiled as the women were united in helping Archer win the war.

The half-elf turned to Dellah and questioned, "How are the submarines you're creating?"

"Perfect little El, our husband is a genius when coming up with ideas," the grey-haired dwarf revealed. "He's got my little Dagny, Solvieg, and Bruni in a tizzy, those girls fancy him so

bad."

Ella giggled as she answered with another question, "Who doesn't? Don't most of the Ironfoot women want to marry him?"

Dellah laughed at that before speaking, "Unfortunately, most of them don't want to join a big harem, but those three don't care as it's clear Archer makes time for all of us."

"I know he likes those three but it preoccupied with everything around him," Ella explained as Mary and Lucrezia approached.

The Mosasaur woman smiled which showed off her sharp teeth, "Hello El, Dellah. How have

you two been?"

Ella beamed before stepping forward and hugging both women who have been staying in the southern part of Draconia while Teuila and Kassandra defended the northern portion. They returned the hug as the half-elf answered, "I've been fine Luce, How's the south?"

"Boring, all I keep doing is killing monsters and lazying around until darling returns which should be soon I heard?" the blonde answered.
