Kanae awoke the next morning next to Arenade in their refurbished Ortesian manor-carriage. She traced a finger down the length of her high elven lover's curvaceous body. Last night, they had fooled around a little, but didn't actually get to do anything since both of them were so tired.

Now, however, it was a different story after waking up to a brand new day. Kanae activated Futanari, and her erect cock sprung right up. She slipped on the Cock Ring of Hardening to make it bigger, too.

Of course, going right in was just bad manners. Feeling mischievous, Kanae wiggled down and positioned herself between Arenade's legs. She pushed them apart, revealing a pretty pink pussy moist from a drop of dew. Drawing her tongue along the folds made the elf shudder.

Kanae buried her face in Arenade's snatch, licking and lapping. The clit grew engorged. Through the light white gown, the elf's nipples became stiff and pointed.

"Mmm… Ahhh…" Arenade moaned sweetly, arching her back.

That should do it. Now that Arenade was sufficiently wet, the time was now!

Kanae pushed in. The hot convulsing walls of Arenade's pussy squeezed her with a strong vise. She was ready to blow.

"Nnhh! I'm cumming already, Arenade! I've missed this pussy of yours!" Kanae ejaculated into her wife's deepest parts and was still raring to go.

Not enough. Not yet.

Kanae's succubus hunger nipped at the depths of her stomach. She picked up speed, thrusting harder into Arenade. Their hips clapped loudly. The high elf, still fast asleep, breathed heavily and hoarsely. Both hands gripped the sheets. Back, arched even more than before.

"Hnnghh… What's going… Kanae? Again?!" Arenade snapped awake in the middle of their fucking. "What did I tell you about sex when I'm slee— oooh! Ooooohh! Aaahhh! Slow down! Your dick is so big, it's wrecking me up inside… I'm going to cum… I'm—"

Even as Arenade climaxed, Kanae continued pistoning. She leaned down to kiss her high elven wife, who surprisingly, reciprocated with some tongue play. Nearing a second orgasm, she pulled out and blew her load all over Arenade's body and face.

"Whew. That felt great. Thanks." Kanae wiped the sweat from her brows.

However, only one of them looked content. Arenade, with a shadow over her face and eyes blazing like the sun, stood up to loom menacingly over Kanae. The terror vanished the next second, replaced by a kind, cum-drenched smile.

"My dear wife, would you be so kind as to cast your cleaning magic on me?" Arenade asked nicely.

S-Sure." Kanae fetched her wand from the nightstand and casted Prestidigitation, cleansing the spunk that stained Arenade.

"NOW GET OUT OF HERE, YOU HORNY MONKEY!" She kicked Kanae hard in the chest, sending her rolling out the door still naked.

Kanae hit the wall with her head and groaned in pain.

"Wait, what about my clothes?" Kanae called.

"Consequences!" Arenade fired back.

Sighing, Kanae pulled off the Cock Ring of Hardening and switched off Futanari. She stretched until each limb popped with incredible relief, then descended down the stairs before emerging from the carriage in the nude. A pair of elven guards standing watch on the side of the door received an eyeful.

"Your Majesties— I mean, Your Majesty, good morning!" one guard exclaimed, quickly turning red in the face.

"Where are Lilith and her black-clad's tents?" Kanae asked.

"By the prisoner cages over in the north side of the camp," the other answered.

Kanae unfurled her wings and took off towards the north. A handful of cages were stuffed full, bursting at the seams with prisoners. Elementals were kept in a separate container. First Sister Lilith and half-succubi in the black-dyed version of the Eminence of Sin vestments filled bowls gruel. They fed prisoners by handing them food through the latticed metal bars.

As soon as Kanae landed, several Sisters of Sin regarded her as if an angel had descended.

"Queen Kanae graces us with her bare lustful body today!"

"She's so beautiful…"

"My queen, please fuck this loyal servant of yours!"

"Alright, calm down. All of you. Someone give me something to wear. Arenade kicked me out of the room," Kanae said.

Dozens of half-succubi disrobed and threw their Eminence vestments at her. One draped over her face, and another hung from her horn.

"I should have specified. I only needed one!" Kanae tossed them all back, save for one and put it on.

It had been years since Kanae donned the Eminence of Sin vestments. The dress was long, with a deep V that ran down to the belly and high leg splits to the upper thighs.  Unlike its white counterparts, the black was adorned in silver embellishments.

When Kanae asked where Lilith was, a Sister kindly escorted her to a round tent behind the prisoners. Inside, a single harpy man sat bound to a chair by rope. Lilith circled the man, like a predator toying with her prey.

"Oh, Queen Kanae! I heard of your return last night. Forgive me for not coming to welcome you back. I was… preoccupied." Lilith turned to the seemingly mindless prisoner.

"It's fine. I was thinking about putting you to work in the war effort, but it looks like you're already up to something. Are you probing him for information?" Kanae gestured to the seated harpy.

"Yes and no. A half-succubus' Charm isn't as powerful as a pure succubus such as yourself, my queen. We can force them to do rudimentary tasks and answer simple questions. It is harder for us to break through their wills for more specific actions and answers. This is especially true for an elemental, whose mental resistance is naturally stronger than a mortal. So, Queen Arenade suggested we put prisoners to work around the camp," she explained.

Kanae thought for a moment, then exerted her own Charm on the prisoner.

"Who are you, and who do you serve?" Kanae asked.

"Sergeant Monad Vasnir. I serve the Harpy King," he answered promptly.

"Sergeant, the Harpy King prepares to move on Avanesse, he has placed me under control of his armies in Bravost. Inform me again of our purpose here," she tested him.

"The mines in Bravost are special. Sultana Dudula, the East Saviran Trading Association, and gem barons have excavated deep into the earth. The Harpy King split our forces to seize their mines and dig for underground dwarven cities. We hope to find more felmetal ore to fashion into weapons," Sergeant Monad explained.

The revelation lined up with what they had discovered in Trombay. Sol and Praijya mined a whole lot of felmetal. Kanae might be able to use this knowledge to her advantage.

"Lilith, I want you and the Sisters to identify any officers among the prisoners. Charm them. Brainwash them if you have to. Report to me once you're finished," Kanae said.

"As you command!" Lilith bowed.

With that done, Kanae flew to the commander's post where her own officers were just waking up and getting ready for another long day. Manabe was among them. Her friend from Japan-turned orc just put on a tunic and pants when she barged into his room.

"Manabe!" Kanae shouted.

"Ahhh!" Manabe jumped a few feet into the air. "Sheesh, Kanae. You scared the crap out of me."

"I need all the known mining settlements that the Harpy King's forces have occupied. Actually, it doesn't have to be all of them. Just as many as we know with certainty," she explained.

"I'll get right on that!" He was about to rush out until she grabbed his hand.

"You're not going to go out there with that morning wood, are you?" When she pointed to the outline of his crotch bulging against his pants, he turned red.

The two had a quick fuck before Kanae let Manabe go to do his thing. He gathered the Commonwealth officers, conferred with their scouts, and pinned the map according to the extrapolated intelligence.

They identified twenty-one mines that were a day or two's traveling distance from the war camp. Only fourteen were currently under occupation by the Harpy King. The others were still controlled by the association and their sparse paramilitary forces.

"Commander Manabe!" a guard called from outside the command tent. "We bring a messenger who desperately pleads for an audience. He claims to be a member of the East Saviran Trading Association."

"Maybe they can shed some light on what the association is doing?" Kanae nodded to Manabe.

"Let them in!" Manabe shouted.

Both guards pulled the tent flaps aside, and a bumbling pig beastman stumbled in. Kanae recognized him immediately.

"Sadul!" Kanae rose from her seat to meet him half way.

"K-Kanae?" Sadul gasped.

"Mmm. How long has it been?" She rubbed up against him, pressing her chest to his.

Manabe awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Do… you two know each other?" Manabe asked.

"Yeah. When I first arrived in Savir, I got lost and met Sadul. He's a member of the association. He hired me for a quest, but I accidentally destroyed his merchandise. To make up for all the money he lost, he turned me into his sex slave for a while, got me addicted to his cock, and pimped me out." Kanae stroked his inner thigh and smiled.

"Uhm… Kanae, I believe your soldiers are staring d-daggers at m-me…" Sadul trembled in terror.

"What are you doing here anyway?" She peeled away after having teased him enough.

"To seek help, on behalf of Premier Theo Mambahu! The Harpy King and Elusis' attack came so swiftly, we didn't have time to rally a defense. I barely escaped Bravost with my life. The sultana and premier are still there, imprisoned. I've been going all around uniting the association when I heard a foreign army had marched down to Savir. And now, you're here! I thought you were in Elusis!" he explained in surprise.

"I was, and then things took a turn for the worse. I don't have time to explain right now, but you being here will help a lot. We can't fully mobilize our armies yet. Our wagons need fixing, and we lost half the labor force when Rown Company's men mutinied. We could use the East Saviran Trading Association's manpower to replace them. Will you help us?" When she extended a hand to Sadul, he gladly clasped it.

Not another hour later, First Sister Lilith joined the discussions. She informed Kanae that nine high-ranking officers have been identified among the prisoners. All harpies infused with an elemental, too.

After waking up and getting Petyr to lend her military expertise, she devised the following plan with the information on hand: Each of the charmed Elusis officers, accompanied by 'subjugated miners and association members', would ride to the occupied mining settlements. Their job was to leak that felmetal had been found in a yet to be captured site. Once they inevitably send soldiers to seize it, the Commonwealth army would attack the much smaller force in route. By baiting them a few at a time, this eventually wore down Elusis' army.

Kanae approved the plan, and they executed it that very morning. Sadul assigned a small group of miners and association members to ride with the charmed officers. She drew up the commanding officers to lead the individual attacks. Petyr Stormcloud, the Knight of Red Sivvy Brenhallow, Camilla Rudeux, and finally Renya Rown volunteered. Each were given 500 soldiers to fight with, which amounted to almost half of the Commonwealth forces in Savir.

If this plan failed, it was going to be a devastating defeat. But if they succeeded…

As night fell after an exhausting day of planning, Kanae stayed up in the command tent, wringing her hands together and still tense. She left to wander the camp and clear her mind.

Familiar chattering lured Kanae to the war camp's canteen underneath the pavilion of a large overhang. Kara, Theena, and Seven were helping Sisters of Sin fill plates of food, better the gruel served to prisoners, and passed them out to hungry soldiers.

"Hard at work, you three?" Kanae startled them from behind. "You're not part of the army; you don't have to help."

"Nu uh. We want to! I'm tired of standing around all day. I wanna help," Seven said.

"Your people are also really nice, Kanae. So we wanted to at least give back. It's… warm. Everyone is so considerate of each other. In Elusis, it feels so cutthroat." Theena hung her head.

"I'm glad you think so. Arenade and I would be terrible queens if that wasn't true." She laughed to herself.

"Uhm, Kanae? I heard from the soldiers that you sent a lot of people out to fight. I'm worried about Micas." Kara's hands stopped as she glanced worriedly at the ground.

Kanae hadn't forgotten about Micas. The harpy boy, who Kara had made friends with before he got conscripted into the Elusis army. At any point, he could become another casualty of war. When clashing steel against another, no one wondered if the soldier behind the helmet was here of their own free will or not. It was kill or be killed.

"Hey. I promise I'll keep an eye out for Micas." Kanae patted her reassuringly on the back.

"Yoohoo! Seven, Kara, and Theena, you guys can go take a rest now. Grab yourselves a plate and get a breather. Oh, Queen Kanae! I didn't see you there." Lilith smiled and offered a light bow.

"You heard the succubus." She charmed the trio into filling up their own bowls with plenty of food, then released them. "Eat up and get some rest."

Even as night came to an end, Kanae still wasn't tired yet. She stayed up. She stood vigil outside the camp, waiting for her soldiers to return. Edina joined her. They fought off several undeads not of the necromancer's making, but of Riben Crow's.

Edina surmised that he was likely doing it to get a glimpse of how the Commonwealth's army was faring. Thankfully, there weren't any large scale attacks. Not yet anyway. Even as the freezing night of the desert chilled Kanae to the bones, she stayed out. Arenade came out to throw a blanket on her, stayed for a while, and then returned to the manor-carriage to get some beauty sleep.

Finally, as the sun rose in the distance, Kanae's patience was rewarded. Petyr led her soldiers in a triumphant march. When they met each other's gazes, the paladin raised a fist in the air.

"Your plan worked!" Kanae cheered.

"By the Supreme One's beard, you're gods damn right my plan worked. We routed them! Casualties on our side were minimal. The Elusis force did not expect us at all. Pft. I could have taken them all on my own," Petyr reported pridefully.

Soldiers back at camp, awakened by the heavy footfalls of their countrymen, emerged from their tents to celebrate.

Camilla was next to return at midday. She and her soldiers rode on ronoas that they previously didn't have, likely taken from the Elusis forces. Next, the Knight of Red came soaring back, wearing a big smile. It was as if her defeat by Praijya didn't faze her anymore. Renya didn't come back until the next morning. Her interception was much farther away than the others. Again, another victory and resounding success.

In one foul swoop, they had crippled the Harpy King's forces and soon, their attempt to acquire more felmetal. Now, the remaining occupied mining settlements were open season to be retaken. It was the first real victory they had struck against Elusis.

Celebrations were in order, and soldiers cracked open casks of beer, drinking themselves to a stupor despite Petyr telling them not to. Eventually, she relented and joined in the merriment. As a former military commander of the Empire of Ortesia, it must feel right being in a position like that again.

"Amethyst!" Red found her in the middle of the party. "I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but felmetal. Praijya's felmetal weapons were able to handle her elemental powers. It should handle Elirashj's, too. We can make me a weapon, right? When we destroyed the convoy, I had them take a whole bunch of felmetal weapons from fallen Elusis soldiers." She gestured behind her, where a couple of soldiers had a pull cart full of the crimson weapons. "What do you think?"

"We're still going to need to find someone who can forge felmetal. This isn't an easy ore to work with," Kanae explained.

Unless…

The Harpy King originally had all the felmetal work going on back in Elusis, at the smithing spire. If they were collecting the ore out here, a smith capable of processing and forging it must be present.

Petyr stumbled by. She clearly had one too many drinks.

"Hey, Petyr! Think we can let Red try out your felmetal warhammer?" Kanae asked.

"Right now? Fine." Petyr sighed.

They left the rambunctious war camp, out into the wilderness and far from the festivities. There was only one way to really find out if felmetal could handle it. Kanae had already seen the Harpy King and Uzazzsa work with his new wings, but Elirashj could be different.

Petyr handed Red her warhammer, originally forged by Rog and Lina to withstand the paladin's incredibly powerful Divine Smites. Any other weapon would have shattered, and adamantine was incompatible with enchantments.

When Red gripped the handle, gale winds traveled down her arms and engulfed the weapon. It sang as she made test swings in the air.

"I can already feel this isn't going to break." Red whistled sharply.

"Get on with it. I want to see how well it works with an elemental, too." Petyr was growing impatient, but Kanae saw the same eagerness that Red had in her eyes.

"Alright, but I really think you guys should take a step back just in case," she warned.

They did as suggested. The Knight of Red braced her feet on the ground. Coursing winds gathered along the shaft of the warhammer. She pivoted on one foot and swung like a batter striking a baseball.

A deafening explosion rocked the earth. The felmetal warhammer broke the sound barrier. Her swing carved through the air. Three tornados rippled outward, transforming into dust devils. They uprooted desert grass, some trees, and a poor boar minding its own business. Kanae furled her wings to keep from being swept up, and Petyr shielded her face.

When the tornados had dissipated, the path they had traveled was carved clean of debris and vegetation. Kanae and Petyr's eyes were wide with awe.

"What the fuck was that?!" Edina rushed over on a death knight thinking there was a fight. The source of this content ɪs novęlfire.net

"Uh, yeah. I think we definitely need to get you a felmetal weapon…" Kanae muttered.
