Picking up Girls With My System

Sex underneath the water was something different, even more, when one considers the countless soldiers nearby and the adrenaline of doing in a wild river inside a dangerous forest.

They tried their best to make it silent, and no one noticed anything strange, which was good.

The next day the tiring journey returned, with nothing interesting to do while inside the carriage. Arthur talked a little with everyone inside, but in the end had to do something else, like reading and practicing some spells.

He did not practice his dragon skills there, but practicing spells was no problem. There was no reason to try and learn more spells than he already did the other day, so Arthur focused on practicing the ones he had known to increase his mastery over them.

With the help of his essences, the mighty of those spells could increase to an unimaginable level, and the dark races would regret messing with him.

Speaking of the dark races, not one attacked them during their trip. Arthur did not sense anyone either, so it was not that they were scared to attack them, but they weren’t even there in the first place.

The best explanation was that someone in charge had called out all the dark creatures in the surrounding area to gather inside the capital and try the last defense. These were cannon fodder, as Arthur was not playing around and would wipe them out.

It took them six days to reach Drakonia, which now had a lot of dark creatures waiting for them at the front gate.

From afar, Arthur could tell their numbers, and it should not be a problem to face them, especially with him there, in the fight.

“Everyone!” Arthur jumped from the carriage, flying above his army.

“Today is the day we take back the city to our allies, but it does not end there. Today is the day we KILL all of these dark creatures that are destroying our lands, and tomorrow will be the day that WE will destroy the dark lands and bring peace to this continent again!!!”

The soldiers yelled every time Arthur finished a sentence, increasing their morale for the upcoming fight. Arthur knew that the troops’ confidence made a lot of difference during a battle.

All the soldiers got ready, wielding their weapons and shields, fiercely gazing at the dark creatures in front of the gate. The number of elves and humans was higher than the creatures, and with Arthur there, the fight would be an easy task.

“Attack!” Arthur yelled.

The first wave of attacks came from the mounted soldiers that dashed towards the enemies, using their spears to pierce their flesh and kill them.

Arthur would not stand still, so he flew with his army, branding his two-handed sword, and each time a creature ended up dead.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw one of his generals hurt, with an arrow pierced through its chest. It would be impossible to survive if Arthur wasn’t there, that is.

He ran towards the fallen general, using both hands to pull the arrow from the chest. That elf was so hurt that it did not even scream. After that, Arthur cast his healing spells on him, and with the aid of the wood essence, the wounds healed in a matter of seconds.

“Thank you, my lord, thank you!” The general said, getting up and returning to the battle.

Arthur scanned the battlefield, looking for the people in charge of the dark creatures to end their lives, as that would cause a commotion on the enemy side.

His gaze pierced through all the troops, landing on a familiar face: the traitor elf, Kymil’s father.

“You!”

A teleport was enough to appear in front of that elf, who was startled after seeing Arthur appear out of nowhere, but before it could scream for help, Arthur grabbed him and teleported once again, leaving the battlefield with him.

“Wh- what do you want with me? I don’t know anything, I swear.”

“We will see.”

Both sides were equal in the battle, but someone appeared flying above the battlefield with three heads.

These were the heads of the three generals of the dark race army of that area, and one belonged to the elf Arthur tortured for more information.

When the enemies saw that, they could not help but shiver in fear. Arthur tossed those heads at them, followed by an immense lotus of fire that engulfed the entire army, turning them into ashes.

“We won!”

The army cheered, and the humans who lost their homes cried and hugged the nearby elves. It was just the first step, but that was something to be proud of.

Arthur took some time to help the wounded soldiers, who bowed after being healed by their king. He also helped the humans to settle in their city again.

“We will not leave until you recover a bit, and after that, we will march towards the dark lands.”

They could leave after one day of rest if they wanted to, but Arthur could not leave these humans without help, and who knows if the dark creatures would not stand in their territory and instead would march towards them for a final battle.

Inside a room, the essential members of the elves talked to each other.

“I don’t think they will attack us here, considering they have the advantage in their territory,” Arthur said.

“I agree; if they did that, it would only be dumb of their part.”

These people were part of the elven council, which was around since the beginning of the elven kingdom. Even though all of them could give their opinions regarding aspects of the domain, the king was the only one with the final power to decide things.

But this time, all of them were wrong. Despite all of their conversations about how the dark creatures would not leave the dark lands to fight in the Dragon Scale Empire, it turned out that was precisely what happened.

An immense army of creatures could be seen in front of Drakonia. There were not only joint troops but the strongest generals of the dark races, and actually, someone was behind the entire army, just waiting to strike.

If Arthur knew who it was, he would choose to flee instead of fighting…
