Frost allowed himself to enjoy the feeling of Maya's tongue wrapping around his own before she pulled away, flashing him a coy smile as she did. Feeling competitive she then winked at Daki and wiped away the kiss mark she left on his cheek.
The orc succubus was practically fuming at her actions, pulling possessively on Frost's arm, drawing him closer. Unfortunately neither of them could go any further with their pissing contest while the little ones were present, they needed to preserve their innocence after all, something all of them took very seriously.
"So Daki, what did you think?" Eventually they managed to get back to the original topic. Frost was quite keen to hear her opinion since she played a major part in why he accepted the challenge in the first place.
"Honestly I was completely blown away. I've seen the military in action back in Kranor, you know when things got real dangerous as well as the mighty battalions of the Great Dwarven hold Karak Kanz so I'm not exactly new to the hole war thing, hell I've even played a part in a few during my early twenties." Daki reminisced about her past.
Times when a rival enclave attacked Kranor when she was a young child, times when large groups of bandits tried to takeover her home as a teenager. And then of course were the battles she witnessed and took part in as a young adult throughout the great kingdoms of the Glacial mountains. All of which had shaped her view of war and battle.
In her eyes the Dungeon of Niflheim was a far cry from the armies defending Karak Kanz and the other great kingdoms but it could give a few enclaves a run for their money. A rather substantial feat given how young the territory was.
"Your forces didn't act like a newly trained army in slightest. They followed orders to a tee and responded to any and all situations in a calm and collected manner. Even without you at the helm your many officers controlled the battlefield as though they had decades of experience under their belt..." She gazed at Frost and all he was with clear eyes.
"Their loyalty is inspiring and potential....frightening."
"Frightening?"
"Yes frightening, you're ability to mass generate soldiers and slide them effectively into your army puts all other territory's to shame." Daki shook her head and sighed in disbelief; her man was guaranteed to change the face of Nova.
"But did you enjoy it, being part of that frightening potential?" Frost asked with a smooth smile.
"..." Daki was silent for a moment. Her mind reliving the earlier experience, the feeling of authority, responsibility and of course the rush of victory that she helped achieve.
Honestly the whole thing brought on waves of excitement and seeing her man leading the charge with thousands of soldiers rallying behind him and valiantly returning with an air of victory turned her on so much that she struggled to restrain herself.
A wild smile grew on her lips as she leaned over and whispered a few steamy words into Frost's ear causing him to audibly gulp and feel fire grow inside him.
Doing his best to restrain his desires until later in the evening Frost asked Nanna and Loki give their reports. The children smiled from ear to ear and shuffled atop his legs to get comfy. They were very keen to give their reports so they could receive lavish amounts of praise and perhaps a reward in form of candy.
"Pshua enough of that Karrick there's no need for such heavy feelings of gratitude between family. We're all brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of the Dark God, equal in stature. I'm just a little bit older so I gave you some tips that's all, nothing more, nothing less.
Hold your head high and blaze your own trail in the future rather than following the whims of another." Frost quickly lectured Karrick hoping to raise his self-confidence. All of them were siblings and were equal regardless of their rankings. Karrick had no need to follow the orders of Pyro just because he was older and a little stronger right now.
"Hahahaha I understand brother and I promise that in the future when I challenge you to another war it'll be because of my own desires not someone else's." Karrick laughed and then showed a provocative smile. He would challenge Frost again in the future with the intention of evening out the scoreboard.
Frost's upper lip twitched as he heard Karrick's declaration, and a sinking feeling filled his gut. He actually dreaded having to enter Karrick's dungeon again, the heat was really unbearable.
The two siblings chatted amicably about their personal lives for a little while before moving on to more important topics.
"Those sapients, you promised to tell me about them once the war was finished."
"I did."
"Well, I'm waiting." It was strange to imagine that these two were insulting one another a few days ago, now they looked like the best of friends.
"Have you heard of the federation of knowledge?"
"A few references why, are they from that organisation?"
Frost then gave a short description of who the federation of knowledge were and why they were snooping around dungeons.
"So they're envoys sort of speak for Lord father." Karrick was one of the dungeon cores that referred to Dark in a very respectful manner.
"Yeah pretty much. They were in my dungeon to investigate all the nuts and bolts of how it works and report back their findings to their organisation's headquarters. From there some information will be disseminated to the public to help understand the nature of our dungeons and reduce the overall death rates.
I suspect that in the coming months or even years there'll be books written about our dungeons that'll help adventurers delve in safety to a certain degree. Our popularity will also skyrocket. If you haven't thought about setting up some sort of territory with your dungeon I'd advise you do so soon since people will start flocking to the area.
Best to beat them to the punch and assert control over your own place." Even if you ignore the DP possibilities it was nice to control the area around one's own dungeon.
Karrick took down a few notes but to be honest the idea of running his own territory didn't interest him in the slightest, too much hassle but even so he listened and took his elder brother's words to heart.
