He looked at her and noticed that she was nearly the same height as Connor.
However, she was fully clothed in leather armor, unlike Connor.
Her hair was intricately braided, adorned with a beautiful flower crown that added to her valiant aura.
With one hand placed on her chest, she lightly bowed her head before Jax.
"I greet my liege," she said.
"You are welcomed,"
Jax replied with a smile on his face. Finally, he felt relieved that he had a second captain-level hero.
With her presence, he felt confident in his ability to defend against the smaller kings of the Orc empire if they ever attacked his kingdom.
This was the security he had been seeking.
His next plan was to upgrade all the remain wooden walls around his small town to stone walls, further improving the defense of his city.
He also decided to check the status of the sss Archer Queen, comparing it to Connor's status.

Jax felt immense joy in that moment.
Because if Connor was a war machine charging at enemies, then the sss Queen was a leader who could kill enemies from afar.
Connor excelled in close combat, while the sss Queen showcased her expertise in long-range attacks.
Together, he felt they formed the perfect team.
The sss Queen led the Archers, just as Connor led the barbarian soldiers.
"Let's go," Jax said to the Archer Queen, as he planned to take her to his Palace, which was the town hall.
It was only fitting that her place would be there, considering it was the same place where Connor stayed.
Just as Jax was stepping outside the barracks, he saw an archer running towards him.
"Greetings, my king. Greetings, commander," the archer greeted both Jax and the sss Queen.
This made Jax realize that the heroes also held the position of commander over the soldiers in their respective professions.
"Speak, what is the matter?" the Archer Queen questioned the archer, noticing his paranoid expression.
"Invaders are coming, commander, They are almost close to His Majesty's kingdom," the archer said.
Jax was surprised by the information, as he should have been notified by the system if anyone approached their kingdom.
"How many of them?" the Archer Queen asked again.
"About a thousand!" the archer replied.
The Archer Queen looked towards Connor, and Connor faced Jax.
"My king, I think it would be better to ambush them before they can enter our kingdom. Despite the smaller numbers, we have strong warriors."
" If we catch them off guard with an attack, we might achieve a flawless victory," Connor suggested.
"Ah, nice," Jax remarked before receiving a notification from his system.
[Ding!!!]
[About a Thousand Orcs are about to cross your kingdom]
Upon seeing this notification, Jax finally realized why the system had not given him any notification about the Orcs entering his kingdom beforehand, while the archer already knew.
It turned out that they had noticed the Orcs even before they entered they breached his kingdom.
The system only accounted for things that entered the the range of land his father had given him itself.
He quickly opened his video settings in the map options and saw the Orcs approaching his kingdom.
To his surprise, they didn't appear to be very strong.
He had been quite scared when he saw the system notification about Orcs invading his kingdom, thinking it was the main force of the Orcs attacking.
However, it seemed that it was just a low-tier Orc king leading them, with only three Tier 2 Orcs accompanying him.
Although they were in a higher realm than Connor individually, Jax was confident that with the ambush and the right strategy, they could defeat them swiftly.
He quickly explained to the two heroes beside him the path the Orcs were following into the kingdom and estimated their strength.
Without delay, they planned where to wait and ambush the Orcs.
Jax, now a Tier One king, decided to join them as well.
He possessed the strength of a Tier One warrior after he upgraded his Town hall, and thanks to his training with Connor.
He had finally tapped into his inner Qi, enabling him to strike stronger blows by coating his Qi on his fists or weapons.
However, he had also learned that channeling his Qi into his body made him stronger but drained his energy quickly, so he had to be mindful of this tactic.
Now that a horde of Orc invaders dared to step into his land, he gladly saw it as an opportunity to practice and determine if he was truly a formidable warrior or merely a greenhorn.
Connor and the sss Queen quickly assembled a force of around 400 warriors, consisting of 300 barbarian soldiers and 100 Archers.
Some of the soldiers brought horses for Jax and the two heroes, and they marched to the designated ambush spot.
Jax had already informed his wife that he was going to hunt some dangerous creatures, but he hadn't mentioned specifically that they were Orcs,
As he didn't want to worry her unnecessarily, When the citizens of his kingdom saw his soldiers walking out, they felt assured.
During these past few days, their king had put their minds at rest, and whenever they looked at their warriors under his command, they felt a sense of security, believing that everything would be alright.
