Chapter 396 The Frostfallen Kingdom
Chapter 396 The Frostfallen Kingdom
Archer turned to look at the shivering half-elf who was wrapped up in a thick blanket and was wearing a woolly hat.
When he saw this he thought she looked adorable. Archer stared at her until he shook his head and answered. ''Yes, please. I will warm up the place while you do that.''
Ella smiled as she made her way to the kitchen followed by Sera and Llyniel who started chatting about the coco they were making.
Leira looked like she was talking to someone through an artifact and Nefertiti nodded off on one of the comfortable sofas wrapped in a thick blanket.
Archer walked over to the fireplace and crotched down before letting out a stream of dragon fire to heat them up.
His violet flames burned bright catching everyone's attention but the flames started to beat back the cold air causing the girls to smile.
The fireplace was now causing a violet glow all over the living room. Archer walked back over to the window and watched the snow as he felt the heat on his back.
This view caused him to relax and he zoned out before time flew by. That's when he heard Ella's voice. ''Here Arch.''
He turned around with a smile before taking the cup and joined the girls on the sofa. Archer tasted the hot chocolate-looking drink.
The taste rushed over his tongue reminding him of all the times he had hot chocolate when back on Earth.
The females were chatting as they gossiped about clothes and other girl things, Archer just sat there and listened before finishing his drink.
After an hour of this, he stood up catching everyone's attention as he spoke. ''I'm going to get some sleep. My body is aching and it's getting cold again.''
Archer walked off as each girl looked at the other before following behind him like ducklings. The group entered the main bedroom and stripped down before piling into the large bed.
They settled into their cozy spots and gradually drifted into slumber. Throughout the night, the diligent Brownies diligently tended to the fires, ensuring that the warmth enveloped them.
The treehouse exuded a comforting heat that cocooned Archer in tranquility as he slept. However, when he awoke, a subtle mist escaped from his lips as he exhaled.
With utmost care, Archer slipped out of his bed, making an effort not to disturb the sleeping ladies.
As he stood in the center of the room he stretched and made his way out of the room while he put on some fresh clothes.
But this time he put on a jacket instead of just a shirt. Once he was out of the room he opened a portal to the Frostwyn Duchy.
Archer stepped out of the portal and saw the battlefield he was at the night before. He took off and flew in the direction the Tressyms pointed out.
When he was flying he saw smoke in the distance and sped up until he was hovering over a large camp.
He saw hundreds of soldiers running about the camp. It looked to him that they were packing up but he shrugged and looked for the biggest tent.
Archer soon found it and Blinked to the entrance before he strolled into the shock of the men inside.
But before they could react Archer cast Soul Eater on all of them and ate all their souls causing lifeless bodies to drop with a thud.
He digested all the information on the Frostfallen Kingdom that was to the north-east. When he was done with the commanders he took their hearts.
Once he was done with that he left the tent and got to work as he took a deep breath before releasing his Dragon's Breath all over the camp.
The violet flames slammed into tents and burned the shocked Frosthavenians to ashes causing all the soldiers to turn to the scene.
When he was done with that he rushed toward the nearest human and punched him in the chest and sent him flying into another tent.
After that attack, all the soldiers were aware of Archer's presence and surrounded him before a commander appeared.
Archer looked at the tall big-built man who was bigger than him walking in his direction, the human stopped in front of him and spoke. ''You must be stupid to attack a Frostfallen camp during war times boy.''
Some of the soldiers started to chuckle as the commander continued. ''We have a Master Mage here sent by his Majesty. Now surrender and we will not kill you for what you've done here.''
When Archer heard the man he started laughing. But soon he calmed down and answered. ''The Frostfallen Kingdom will fall today. You're unlucky that my fiancee asked for my help otherwise I would have missed the party.''
Once he finished speaking he motioned to the soldiers which confused them but the commander quickly retorted. ''There are over a thousand veterans of the kingdom here and you're surrounded.''
The Frostfallen commander rattled on until a suffocating feeling fell over them all as Archer smiled and unleashed his Dragon Aura.
When all the soldiers felt it they stepped back but the commander who wasn't as affected ordered them to be brave.
But before any of them could move Archer cast Blink and reappeared behind the soldiers. He quickly cast Azur Cannon and Crown Of Stars which instantly activated.
A swirling vortex of energy crackled with raw, destructive power as it hung in the air before him, a harbinger of devastation.
The Frostfallen soldiers turned to face this new and formidable threat. Fear etched across their faces as they realized the power of the magic they were about to face.
Archer's eyes blazed with determination, and he unleashed the devastating energy of the cannon.
A massive bolt of violet energy, crackling with destructive force, hurtled forward, striking the center of the enemy ranks.
The resulting explosion was cataclysmic, a maelstrom of magical energy that engulfed the soldiers in a devastating blast.
But Archer was not done yet. As the dust and smoke cleared, his Crown of Stars activated, a shimmering celestial wreath of energy manifesting above him.
The stars in the crown pulsed and ignited, each one targeting an enemy soldier with precision.
Bolts of radiant energy shot forth from the crown, streaking across the battlefield with unerring accuracy.
They struck down soldier after soldier, the impact of the celestial energy reducing them to nothing but ash and echoes.
The surviving enemy soldiers, now reeling from the double onslaught of the Azur Cannon and Crown of Stars, scattered in terror.
Their once-unified ranks lay broken and defeated. Archer cast Blink so he could catch the fleeing soldiers.
When he caught them Archer cast Soul Eater on each one causing bodies to drop all around him.
Once that was done he summoned his loot goblins and told him to loot the camp before he left. The little Stone Men rushed off and started searching.
After half an hour they returned with a dozen chests which he quickly stored in his Item Box before dismissing the loot goblins.
He knew where to go and took off before flying further east. After flying for a couple hours he saw an army marching down a snowy road.
When Archer flew over them and let out his dragon's fire that washed over the unsuspecting soldiers catching them off guard.
After he did this he swooped down and grabbed the commander of his mount before ascending even higher.
He cast Soul Eater on the man and dropped his body to the snowy ground. Archer looked down and saw panicking soldiers rushing around while their army burned.
Archer flew off leaving behind the shocked survivors and soon came across a fort. When he got closer he saw people patrolling the walls and stopped flying.
Once he was hovering over the fort he cast Element Bolts made from ice and sent them soaring toward the guards.
When the ice bolts connected with the soldiers it sent them flying off the wall causing everyone inside to rush out.
Emerging from his concealment, Archer descended gracefully to the ground. As his feet touched the earth, he unleashed his formidable magic.
A rift in reality opened, and from it poured a horde of Chull Warriors, their massive insectoid forms surging forward.
The Frosthavenian soldiers, taken completely by surprise, found themselves facing the nightmarish Netherbeasts.
Panic swept through their ranks as they tried to understand the sheer horror of these beasts bearing down on them.
The Chull Warriors, with their formidable pincers and relentless savagery, tore through the Frosthavenian soldiers.
Limbs were severed, and lives were extinguished in a brutal, chaotic spectacle of violence. The battlefield became a gruesome scene of death and disarray.
Amid the chaos, Archer seized the opportunity to strike a decisive blow. His agile form lunged at the enemy commander, catching the man completely off guard.
The commander's sword rose to block the incoming attack, but the force behind Archer's claws was overwhelming which nearly bent the metal.
The commander, shocked and vulnerable, momentarily focused on his weapon, diverting his attention from Archer.
It was a fatal mistake. In the blink of an eye, Archer teleported behind the human and chuckled before speaking.
