Ric woke after spending quality time with his wives. His mind felt clear and rejuvenated. He glanced around and noticed that none of them were present; each had already gone to attend to her respective duties.He knew the next priority was to ensure the Northern Unification remained stable before turning his attention to the Western Region.Meanwhile, Morgana stood before the Legion of Doom as the newly promoted ranks stood at attention. Their eyes held respect and unwavering discipline as they regarded the woman who had guided them through hellish training to earn this status. Morgana let the silence hang over the parade grounds for a moment, her sharp gaze sweeping across the freshly promoted soldiers.“You’ve survived the crucible,” she said, her voice calm yet carrying an effortlessly authoritative weight that echoed off the stone courtyard. “You’ve earned the title of Legionnaires. But do not mistake this promotion for safety. The Northern Unification is secured, yet stability de

Boundless rage flickered in Ric's eyes as he listened to the guard's report.Even Kahleen, the gentlest among his wives, found it impossible to suppress the anger rising within her.Ric drew a slow breath, forcing himself to remain calm. He had expected the Emperor's Alliance to make a move against him eventually, but he had never imagined they would go as far as surrounding Yan in an attempt to force his hand.That would become their greatest mistake."Husband, we need to think this through," Kahleen said as she stepped in front of him. The exhaustion from her earlier duties had completely disappeared, replaced by unwavering determination. "Yan is one of the smartest people I've ever known. She wouldn't want us rushing into their trap without a carefully planned strategy."Ric slowly clenched his fists before relaxing them again.He knew Kahleen was right.The Emperor's Alliance wanted him to lose his composure. They wanted him to march straight into their carefully prepared battlefi

The next day, the entire Riverpark Stronghold buzzed with activity as Ric and his two wives organized the master blacksmiths and craftsmen from across the Northern border.With a single call from Ric, countless skilled men gathered, a sight that surprised both Morgana and Kahleen.Ric, however, was not surprised. He knew that his influence had already spread throughout the North, and the protection he provided extended far and wide. Who would ignore the summons of the Warlord of the North when everyone knew he was the only one capable of saving them from the Emperor's oppression?Inside the courtyard, Ric stood silently while Morgana and Kahleen remained by his side.His eyes swept across the crowd before him. Among them were master blacksmiths, carpenters, wire drawers, engineers, and artisans of every kind.The craftsmen looked at Ric and his wives with eyes filled with respect and admiration.Kahleen wore a fitted green gown, while Morgana was dressed in a crimson gown that accentu

The next day, there was only one day left before the five-day deadline the system had given Ric to complete the long-range telegraph and signal relay network.Everything had unfolded exactly as he had predicted.Ric stood silently with Morgana and Kahleen, calmly holding one of the completed relay devices as they waited for the results. It was finally time to test everything they had built. The ten elite men he had dispatched for the infiltration mission each carried a communication device, and now all they could do was wait for a response from the other end.Gathered around Ric and his wives were the Master Blacksmith, the Wire Drawer, the Engineer, and the Carpenter.Every pair of eyes was filled with anticipation.For the past four days, they had worked almost without rest, forging unfamiliar components, drawing miles of copper wire, assembling delicate mechanisms, and learning techniques that none of them had ever imagined possible. It had been an unforgettable experience. Under R

The moment Ric issued the command, the thunder of the machines echoed across the surrounding area as steam continued to power the vessel.Morgana walked toward him in her crimson leather armor. “Don’t worry. Yan will be fine,” she said when she noticed his attention was divided.Ric’s eyes flickered slightly as he turned his head toward her and smiled. “Yan is the strongest and most intelligent woman among us. She knows how to keep herself safe for a time.”He nodded, knowing there was little point in dwelling on it. He could only hope the elite team would be able to protect her and neutralize any threat that came near. He would never compromise the safety of Yan or any of his wives. They were both his strength and his weakness, and that weakness was what made him feel most alive. Transmigrating to this world and choosing them as his wives had been the best decision he had ever made.He drew her closer, unconcerned by the Legion of Doom standing on the dock. The squads immediately tur
