The number of monsters dwindled fast, and with Ela's help, the soldiers overpowered the remaining monsters. Ela also joined in and killed monsters to let them know she was fighting. This boosted the morale even more, and they swiftly took care of the monsters until the portals closed.
...
The city of Goldspire is where all the world's money comes from. So, as you thought, this was the city where Elise was in charge. This was also the place where the cult put its headquarters because while the city was secure, Jack would always be worried, so the city had enough protectors in the shadows and in the light.
While in Lunaris, the cult had only newbies, in Goldspire, there were only veterans. This provided immense security, and even now, during the attack, they had nothing to worry about. Even though twenty portals opened in the vicinity of the city, they were all quickly subdued and killed.
While the city was well off and defended well, the people inside still didn't have an easy life. While Elise could give them all a safe place and care for them, she didn't. And that was because the people who lived there didn't deserve it. So, while she could care for them, she decided that the people had to work for that protection, however small that may be.
There were different guilds around the city. There was the standard adventure guild that killed mutated monsters or collected herbs around the city. You also had the smithing guild, the engineer guild, the architect guild, and so much more. So, while the people had to work, they had a lot of choices.
The city was built in five different parts. You had northeast, southwest, and center. Every part of the city had its own specialties. The north side was the place for the adventurers because that was the closest place to the main gate. The city's east side was the art district, so everything that had to do with it was most popular there.
Then you had the south side. This is where the trade happened and where most merchants were to sell their goods. While this may sound weird, you could travel the world and collect strange items to sell if you were strong enough. Now, with the world having access to magic, it is also increasing in size, so traveling from country to country is becoming longer and longer by the month.
You also had a small section that could be called the red light district. Still, Elise closely regulated it because while she understood that something like that was necessary in a city, she didn't want anyone working there against their will. Now that women are dominating the world in strength, that was a real concern.
While it wasn't said in this world, women still had a bigger advantage over men. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, like Jack, but he wasn't the only one. There were countless men with good luck and genetics who led troops everywhere and had harems, but women also had it.
Then you have the west side of the city. This site is busier now because everything is related to making things. The soldiers needed arrows, potions, and swords, so this place was in full swing.
Lastly, you have the center, where, of course, Elise lives. She lives in a huge mansion, but even the mansion is covered by water from the outer center. The outer center was where people lived and sold things, but they were close enough to the center to see the mansion.
The outer center and the inner center were connected by bridges connecting the four sides of the independent island. Currently, in the center throne room of the mansion, a woman with blue hair and blue eyes was looking down on the group of thirty women kneeling down on one knee before her.
They were the squad leaders of the cult that stayed here and protected her. They just returned from their mission and were reporting back. "There were no casualties like expected by our side. Some have been injured but already been to a medic and are healthy."
The leader of that woman, the closest to Elise, spoke her last sentence of the report she needed to give. "Good job. It looks like it went better than expected, but the fact that we have some injuries raises some concerns, especially when we know that lore attacks are incoming. Are you sure you can stip the next one without support?"
Elise praised them but also asked a question. She needed to be prepared when the time came. While she wasn't weak herself, she knew that fighting a wave alone was close to suicide, and she didn't want to say goodbye to her son yet.
"While there were minor injuries, the healers quickly healed them in their respective squads. The medics were just for a quick checkup." The leader answered again. She didn't want to disappoint the mother of their master this quickly.
"I'll believe you guys. Stand up, " Elise ordered, and the woman in the room stood up and looked at her. "Your reward and your squad's reward are in your inventory as usual. Take it and become stronger."
All the women in the room lit up when her words were spoken. They all had horny gazes, and the excitement almost overwhelmed them. It only didn't because they knew who they were in the room with.
"Then we will take our leave, Miss." The leader bows before the rest follow suit. They slowly walk out of the room to leave Elise alone and let her think. They also go to their own squad and distribute the rewards before going to their private room and seeing their reward.
What the leaders received was a premium version of the semen they always received during prayers, and it had a stronger effect than normal. While the normal one just gives them a connection with their god, this one gives them a whole dream of him fucking them. It's kind of like an illusion but one so real that the woman always loves it when they get it as a reward.
