RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

After settling in the dryads, Blake went a few miles out from the outposts to see Bret and the rest of the Destiny City Military digging bands of trenches. "Bret, how is it?"

"It's going okay. We are sticking up barriers above the trenches to block incoming attacks. I have to admit magic is much handier than anything in the past. We lined everything with stone using earth magic and even casted the barriers deep underground, so unless they have a strong mage on their side, they would not be able to dig us out easily. By the way, Blake, who's the beauty next to you, a new wife?" Bret asked, looking at Leafia.

Blake was confused as he turned to see Leafia still at his side. He thought she stayed behind! "Leafia?"

"I wanted to see how the Lord of Destiny City went about his daily tasks…." Leafia replied while averting her eyes.

Bret grinned knowingly and began nudging Blake: "I see, I see. Another has fallen for your charms, brother. You even took the city idol not too long ago!"

"Bret, I will tell your wife that you are looking at men while they are showering," Blake replied lazily as he yawned.

"What kind of threat is that!?" Bret paused and thought for a moment before realizing the main point.  "No, wait… if you said it she would believe it then I would be beaten… Blake, you bastard!"

"Haha!" Blake laughed before giving a cheeky grin. "Right, tell the men they can soon grab a number from the new red light district. We took in a few dryads today, and with some money, the guys can help feed them."

"Hmm? Dryads, you mean those monster chicks that suck a man's life force?" Bret asked. He even shivered just thinking about it.

"Nah, that part is actually a myth. The dryads actually only drink the seed of man and get the energy stored inside. There is no need for them to consume life force since it holds nothing of value for them. They can't live off of it." Blake replied.

"Ah! I see. Then I will tell them. But not until this is over." Bret did not want anything getting in the way of the current situation.

"Yeah, they will not be open for a while anyway. Any news from the scouts?" Blake meant to ask this first but got caught up in everything else.

"We have spotted orcs not far out, but we are still trying to get a total on numbers so far. It looks like a few thousand, but it's probably much more. Their line keeps extending." Bret replied.

"Alright. Get everyone ready and pull back our scouts. It's nothing but a bunch of orcs, so there is nothing to be too concerned about. But this battle is just as important as our first battle. It is to show that we are strong. We are strong enough to handle anything this world throws at us." Blake was not concerned about losing this battle. He was more concerned about the morale of his people if they were to fight a stronger foe.

"Don't worry. Every able body in the city has already signed up to fight. They are undergoing training for all weapons right now at the base. They can come after a few hours of training is up. Until then, with your golems, plus the five thousand we have, we can easily hold the fort. Not to mention Thardra has just finished some massive cannons that we are mounting on the outpost. There are only three of them, but they are strong enough to blast a damn hole through a mountain." Bret had been in many wars, so he was no stranger to any of this. He was used to getting things ready for a big battle.

"Alright. Then I will finally get to let loose a little as well." Blake smiled, causing Bret to shake his head. Blake always had a greedy look on his face when it came to fighting.

"Ummm… My race can help as well… we can control plants, so we can set up many traps as well using the trees and underbrush." Leafia raised her hand and suggested.

"Good! If they are willing, that will be great, but do be careful. The first sign of orcs, and you run back to the defense line, okay?" Blake did not want them to risk their lives to set up traps. It would be pointless.

"Understood." Leafia smiled and then turned into a mass of leaves and disappeared. Blake's eyes widened a bit but smiled after. The euruna were a strange race. Their abilities were something not many races could easily replicate.

Back in the palace, Lillia had gathered all the girls together, from wives to concubines. "I will bestow you all with some equipment to protect you. Blake would be sad if any one of you gets hurt. Unlike before, this will be a bigger battle, and we will be very outnumbered. While we have many powerful beings here, I can not help but worry about my sisters while I can do nothing. So from here on out, I will be handing out ancient weapons and armor that will fit all of you."

"Nya nyask a questnya?" The cat girl, who was sitting with her hands planted on the floor between her legs with her tail wagging back and forth, was really confused as to why she was here.

It was not only her but also the dog girl and harpy girl. "We would also like to know why we are here."

"Because you will soon be part of our sisterhood." Lillia wanted most of the new races to have a place in the harem. But only if they show a liking towards Blake. While she was a bit scheming this time around, she couldn't help but want to take these girls in since two of them were loveable and the other looked so serious she wondered what she would look like when Blake overwhelmed her.
