*They are Ivernian and I recognize the class.* Ralgar replied when she had finished describing them. *Typical compliment is a platoon of marines and a dozen sailors, plus mages.*
*So forty-eight crew plus mages, putting their total number at over one hundred if you include both airships.*
*Precisely.* Her husband replied. *They are usually crewed with two or three mages each.*
Anthiel looked at the sky, which was just starting to darken as the sun had recently set. Thankfully, the airships had shown up before dark. While her eyesight was incredible since she was a high elf, high elves didn't have the night vision that wood elves did.
*Ethan should be back long before they arrive.* She said after a moment. *He wanted to leave right after dark and he takes the protection of his wives seriously; he won't be late. Unfortunately it's clear skies tonight, the moon is near full, and there's only a short gap between darkness and moonrise this time of year. They will be able to follow us easily.*
*Be careful Ani.* Her husband thought to her. *The Argo only has a few real fighters and they have over one hundred. You're outnumbered ten or twelve to one.*
Anthiel took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then thought to her husband again. *I'll say a prayer, and would you and Mirella please pray as well? We'll need all the help we can get.*
TO BE CONTINUED...
This chapter began and ended on day 92 of Ethan's life in the Ten Kingdoms. I submit new chapters on the last Wednesday of every month, and they usually drop after the 2-3 days review process. Thus I'll submit the next chapter on April 26th, and it'll probably drop on the 28th or the 29th.
I'd like to extend a very special thanks to two of my supporters, one of whom didn't want to be credited by name. So "Anonymous" and Joseph: thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it.

rockingtilidropabout 2 months agoNo self respecting wood elf would pass by HER bow to lift a sword, yes take the sword but also her bow is an extension of her so it would feel wrong to leave it. I get that this was a melee and not favorable for bowmanship , its a short bow i believe so once Rachael did some crowd control she could have started using it .
More importantly way to make the women look week , Kendra took out 70% of Delmars men when ethan was dying from the mages kill spell, yet even when she was given the space she wasnt allowed to be her best by the author , seline was dampened by her new skills fair , Rachael tires far too early alena is borderline usless with a sword and tee was taken out early.
On the subject of Alenas bow why when everone else got nice new shiny toys dis she not get an incredible new bow or why didnnt she get extra dragon leather or scales to improve her bow and enchantments and worse alenas arrows have sucked balls for over 40 chapters but no high end arrows or at least any talk of them ?
Another misogynistic chapter and im a guys guy
xyz1234466 months agoIt’s funny, I’ve thought a few times in the last several chapters “the ladies need a tank”. Well, now that MMOs have taken over the term, “controller” may be more accurate.
To the anonymous poster with the long reply on the combat, let’s apply some general d20-ish RPG/CRPG rules here… of the 5 there “at level” they had two ranged and 1 fighter, then they had one complete noncombatant and one “underleveled” fighter. They start the fight “at disadvantage” and at point blank range. You are correct that Alana’s bow is seemingly forgotten but in general one cannot defend yourself with a bow at point blank so she needs a sword out. Rachel has the party’s only crowd control ability and she’s spamming it every round because opening space and stunning everyone is their only chance to live another turn. Besides - damaging magic has significant cast time in this setting and Rachel does not have the time to cast without being interrupted (though I don’t remember what they said about the staff earlier, but if thats the only way she can spam powerful CC then that is another explanation). As for Selene any martial arts she knows is not going to be something intended for fighting someone in heavy armor, in a significantly higher weight class and with a significantly longer reach with whatever swords are in use. So that leaves Kendra to get the attention of everyone that Rachel hasn’t stunned. No shit that fight went poorly!
That said, I do have a major criticism… what happened to Selene’s gun? Just one round would’ve changed that fight. I’m also giving a hefty benefit of the doubt regarding Alana’s bow because it did seem like they forgot she’s an archer? It should’ve been mentioned, even if it makes sense that she couldn’t be effective.
I’m getting annoyed by Selene being little more than a fandom database backup and a way to insert and continue modern arguments into scenarios where you’d expect her to be trying to find out the rules of this world instead of wasting enormous amounts of time arguing about them to people that cannot change them. Then again the author also somehow doesn’t know what an FBI agent is or the process to join. (Hint: she either needs to have a technical background or to be in her 30s)
Anyway tldr: Selene needs to level Paladin.
Anonymous6 months agoInstead of explaining an accent just use a different spelling for the accent. Spell "lard" as "Laird" which is appropriate for a scotch/irish accent. Go look at Scottish Twitter for ideas.
Anonymous9 months agoExpanding on my sexism point (the god of this world allows patriachal hetero polygamy, enough said), it doesn't escape attention that the darkest skin character has at most a deep Mediterranean tan, and the token mixed race character is repeatedly described as exotic in appearance. Queer sexuality appears to be there purely for the kink value.
Anonymous9 months agoPutting aside the sickening slavery apologia, the main party accept a lunch invitation moments after a lethal, very public, fight? Just how complacent and unearned do Ethan's achievements have to be? There's no sense of threat or time pressure.
I've been skimming for quite a few chapters - I like the intrigue of the main plot, but its bogged down by uninteresting, one dimensional and repetitive character interactions, and laced with sexism throughout.
