Karl smiled as the three of them got to work on the new camp, and Rae encompassed five large trees with her construction plans for the fortress, which was now more of a silk palace than a tree fort.
"Alright, Lady Rae is ready to show us her masterpiece." Karl announced as she finished with the fort.
He ignored the extra distance as he led the group inside, but noticed that Delilah was intrigued by all the illusionary elements. They were at Overlord Rank, but it was rare that anyone saw through them, even if they had a level advantage.
Then they got to the silk fortress, which had two levels, multiple bedrooms, and even a slide around the outside to get to the ground.
"You keep that sort of equipment with you? That's a bit excessive." The dragon laughed.
"On the contrary, Lady Rae made this with her own silk over the last five minutes. It's a fully custom design, with an improvised security system in place. I will add some runic wards around the perimeter to keep away pests, and then we should be able to sleep in peace."
Butterfly passed control of the [Illusionary Domain] to Karl, as her energy was limited, and he led everyone inside, where Rae was waiting for them.
"Lady Delilah, welcome. Oh, I don't think that Nachtia has seen one of my forts, either. First up, we have the seating area. The floor is stretchy and warm, but I also made hanging chairs. Over there, we have a kitchen, or will when Lotus makes counters out of the branches. Then we have showers, using water creating magical items.
Upstairs we have a full set of bedrooms, plus one extra, as we always seem to pick up more people the longer that we stay in one place.
I remember a few occasions when our group size doubled by the time we were ready to move on." Rae welcomed them. freēwebnovel.com
The dragons explored the tent, and then returned to the main floor, where Lotus had altered the branches into countertops so she could make dinner.
"Hammocks in every room, sticky mesh on the windows to keep pests out but let fresh air in. Excellent work on the fort. Your team really does live in luxury when you're on the road." Delilah congratulated Rac.
Rae gave her a toothy smile. "We do our best. Do you think that this army will be as fun as the last one? There are a lot more strong creatures here. Maybe we can get more trophies this time.
Skeletons and zombies don't make for decent trophies, and the Necromancers don't look nearly as impressive dead as they were alive. Fighting giants at least left big, impressive corpses."
The dragons chuckled at her annoyance. The undead generally weren't as impressive to look at dead as they were alive. They just kind of crumbled when the magic animating them vanished. Even the Necromancers withered to something close to a mummy once the magic sustaining their life force was stripped away.
For most of them had used the dark arts to extend their lives, and without that magic, they were nothing more than decrepit husks.
