As Neo arrived near the gate, he planted the pike with heads in the ground and moved a bit away from it. Then he looked at the few Veran women who had spoke with him in the last part of his path.
"Is that warlord coming out with me just standing, or do I have to challenge him or something? I man here for his would be harem and his head."
"A challenge would help. Your trophees there are proof of your worth, and if he does not respond he might have a rebellion on his hands. Only mighty and fearless warlord can start a dynasty."
"A challenge it is then." Neo spoke and then his voice thundered across the city walls, penetrating into its depths, making its residents aware of a challenger
"A CHALLENGER IS HERE FOR YOUR HEAD WARLORD. COME, OR I WILL GO TO YOU!" he then turned to the ladies once again and asked
"He is home right?"
"Yess, see the banners on the highest point of the gate tower? It it is up, the lord of the city is here. Adn the warlord is the lord right now."
"Good." Was all Neo spoke and he waited for a while, and then as the crowd started to murmur, discontent clear in their rough voices a commotion was heard from the gate. It creaked and grinded against the stone on which it was built, and slowhy the gate opened. What came through was a true monster. Three meters tall half human and half snake, its tail longe and adorned with some sort of a blade at its tip slithering behind him. His human upper body was obviosuly ripped, muscles bulging from everywhere. Its strenght apparent.And the ugly half crocodile half snake head with its slitted eyes radiated anger and arrogance.
"Puny human not worthy challenger, I....." was the words it spoke in its hoarse voice, and then it stopped, noticing the pike with all the heads adorining it standing besides the man. It was obvious the ehads were fresh, only having suffered a bit in the desert sun for almost a day, adn he could recoginse a few heads of capable scouts he had patrolling around close to the barrier of bones. And knowing the distance and time it takes to travel, the man must have been on the move for the entire day to reach here, and he even would have to deal with quite a few attacks, exausting him even more.
The problem however stemmed from the sheer number of kills. Even if the man was not exausted, teh warlord would have to face him. Such challenge clearly threatens his position, and if not answered would incite insurrections, and it could not afford that.
"Hmh.., Seems worthy after all, if barely." Huffed the warlord, trying to intimidate the remaining subjects. He was powerfull, for sure, but even he had limitations of stamina and mana, and a fight with the possible usurpers would exaust him too much to enjoy his dynasty foundation, so he showed a stronger front, even if unconsiously, since it did not believe the challenger was strong enough to defeat him.
"Come at me with all you got." Neo spoke. as he started to slowly walk towards the warlord. A loud roar resounded in the air as the snakeman charged at Neo, large bastard sword in each of its hands. Once withing the reach of the blades, it swunge them both, trying to cleave its challenger in half. Sadly, the tiny human dodged his cleaves, and so it once again charged. this time performing an overhead chop with its right hand, while waiting for the opportunity to strike with its left one. As the blade whistled in its motion to split the man in two, he dodged to the right side of the blade coming in from above, avoiding the strike and denying the posibility for the snake man to utilize his left hand to strike as the motion of dodging was performed. The blade collided with sand, kicking up a cloud of dust, blinding the combatants and spectators in the immediate vicinity.
Under this cloud of sand, Neo moved unimpeded, his vision fully replaced by his deployed mana field that registered every single change in it, providing Neo with absolute controlll over it. And so, he made a swift move and struck the ribcage of the snake man, right under its right arm, breaking one of its ribs. The strike was precise, and achieved exactly what Neo wanted. The warlord winced and reverse gripping his left hand blade held his wounded side with said hand. A few moments later, as the dust cloud settled, and once the snake noticed the location of its adversary, it charged once again, but this time slower, its freshly gained injury cleary slowing it down.
What followed was a dange of slashed and dodges, where the larger, almost four meter high snake berserker was trying its hardest to slice apart its oponent. And it was failing spectacularily.Not once had it come even close to hitting its target, even if from the side it seemed very close every time. The warlord itself was painfully aware of the gap here. every now and then its adversary made a lightning quick counterattack to crack another bone on its body. It was now panting heavily, pain and exaustion creeping in with more and more bigger steps. Just a bit longer, and it will fall. It knew that, but its savage nature and pride did not allow it to fall. It was a warlord. An apex of its species, and no puny human could ever hope to beat it in a one on one. That was just preposterous.
"ROAAAARRRR!!!!" It unleashed a primar roar as it gathered its remaining mana and stamina into a wirlwhind swing to add every bit of momentum it could to the decisive strike. Nothing else had worked before, even the combos of sword strikes and then a sneaky attack with the tail spike it had. So now all that was left was this domineering adn powerfull strike. A technique it had developed as its most powerfull tool. As its quick spin was finishing its full rotation and about to reach the place where teh adversary should be, it's hand were gripped in a crushing grip, powedering its wrists, making it drop the blades and eliciting an agonizing roar of pain. Then as it was coming back, its back was assaulted by another soul wrenching pain. A part of its tail was cut off with one of the bastard swords it had dropped.
"Not even strong enough to make me draaw my own blade." A dissapointed voice sounded from its side "Still, I am taking the head and the spoils." And with those words, the world of the snake man started to spin, and the last it saw as it landed on the ground was its own headless body, slumping down on the sand, motionless and dead. And just a moments later its senses and last remnants of life flickered out.
Storing both the head and body of the now deceased warlord, Neo looked to the strongest nearby snakeman, whose robe like tatters implied its magic related proffesion.
"Where is his harem to be? I will claim all I came here for, Or this place will bathe in so much blood, generations ahead will have to try and wash it all off." His voice was cold and calm, yet it was clear his threat was meant in its entirety. And seeing not a single drop of sweat or a scratch on the mans body, the shaman decided it was not worth risking enraging the monster they had encountered.
"MAKE WAY!" Shaman shouted "The victor claims his spoils." and led Neo through the gate into the city. They spent half an hour, climbing the city untill they reached a temple like structure at the highest point, in the very center of the city.
"They are all inside- your prizes." The unwilingness was apparent in the voice of the shaman, as he ordered the guards to bring the women inside out, so they could be claimed by the conqurer. And Neo scanned the temple with his mana, detecting five life signatures before the guards entered. A few minutes later, the guards returned with four absolute beauties. Their human upper bodies had skin so silky smooth, just by the look alone Neo could imagine the pleasure of their touch. Three with raven black and glossy hair, while the fourth ones hair was ash grey. Heart shaped faces with beautifull and alluring eyes. Lesser men could be hypnotized by looking at them, getting stuck in their gazes for hours. Their ample breasts also elicited a primal desires and even Neo could feel heightened desire to claim them right then and there. He was however quite capable of controlling his inner beast and the slight change in his mood could not be noticed by others.

Neo personally placed a collar on each of their necks, and the four did nothing to resist as they calmly awaited their turn. Once all four were collared, Neo turned to the shaman and the guards standing to the side, waiting for him to leave.
"Did you trully think I did not know you left the fifth one inside?" His voice was cold, and once the words were spoken, he appeared in front of the guards and had alrady snapped their necks by the time the shaman had noticed his absence from the previous spot.
"Come out now, my patience wears thin." his voice was quiet, yet the only person in the temple clearly heard it as it was infused with mana and aimed at the person inside. Neo could feel the last person inside rushing outside, even stumbling a few times in the haste she was moving in to not enrage the owner of the voice any further. A few moment later, a glimpse of vibrant red flashed and before Neo was a long beautiful red hair sprawled on the ground as the woman had knelt on the ground, in a dogeza position, her forehead touching the ground.
"Please forgive us conqueror, please, excuse our foolishness. Allow me to offer you my soul, should you spare them your wrath." Neo was entirely aware the woman was reffering to the city, as she begged. The guards must have surely informed the girls of what had transpired outside. It was the reason, he asumed, why they were so obedient when he collared them.
"And what good will you offering your soul do? I can claim it regardless any time I want." His words brought silence in the clearing where he stood, the shaman and five beauties stunned by his words.
"Get up." he spoke in his cold voice, and the redhead slowly did as ordered. As she slowly raised herself up her body was displayed before Neo, and he had to admit, she was even more enticing than the four. Apreciating teh magnificent beauty before him, he quickly collared her as well, and as the four before, she showed no resistance.
"I expect you all to be nice and obedient, or I will come here again. Their survival heaviliy depends on your actions. Keep that in mind." he spoke and gestured for them to follow. Then he suddenly stopped
"Right, The warlords horde. Where is it?" he suddenly asked, just now remembering that such a thing must definetly exist.
"Please follow me." the readhead spoke and took a lead in a different dirrection. Neo just silently followed her, and the other four girls followed him in turn. They had to ensure this man did not recieve a reason to unleash hell on this place. There would be countless deaths if it were to happen, and since the women were gentle and sweet beings in their core, they desired to avoid such an outcome if possible. After a few minutes of walking they were in front of a cave entrance.
"He keeps his treasures here. I dont know what kind of traps and defence mechanisms there are, my apologies." the readhead spoke once again.
"All of you, wait here." Neo spoke and entered the cave. He quickly reached the end of the cave, the few extremely primitive traps with wires were nothing to him, as he now looked at the small pile of rare metals and herbs before him. He quickly stored it all in his storage ring, and returned to the entrance. The five were still waiting for him there, as per his orders, and it seemed they had almost not moved at all from the places they were when he entered.
"Names?" Neo asked, before he moved on with his plan.
"Seriss" the readhead answered, then pointed to the ashen haired girl "Serana", then pointed to the two black haired girls one after another "Veria and Anarasa".
"Good, now we need a few capes to cover your bodies a bit more. Your body is mine to enjoy and marvel over." and as he finished they moved once again. He was lead once again by Seriss, and once all the girls had decent cloaks, they awaited the night and moved out towards the Al Merhads capital- Desharan. Since neo didnt need to bother looking for much of anything, their travel speed was quite fast. Of course not as fast as if he moved on his own, since the women here were nowhere near his capabilities, but their unique physiology allowed them to move with relative ease through the desert. And so, they spent almost a week to return, since unlike Neo, the women needed rest and sleep. The girls were extremely obidient, and were gritting their teeth the first time they started to feel exausted. They were prepeared to die of exaustion, if that meant he would not return to their city, and once he saw the leghts they are willing to go to, he had to scolf them a fair bit. The general message was simple- they had to ensure that they survived adn were not damaging their beautifull bodies, and when tired, immediatly inform him of the fact.
They were rather timid at the start, but a few days int otheir travel Seriss had adapted to their orders the best, and acted as the go between among the girls. As soon as they were starting to slow down, she repectfully adressed neo, informing of their tiredness, and then they would stop, Neo would use his mana to construct a solid footing on the desert sand, then withdraw a sort of a tent from a storage ring, order a stop for a few hours. Then feed the girls and order them to sleep for a bit. Then after the rest they were on the move again. Rince adn repeat.
And so they arrived in the Desharan. He did not bother with the guards as he just showed the token and got throough the gate without any issues. Then he moved to the residence of Al Merhads where his contact was located. Their interaction was short, but fruitfull. As soon as Neo was in front of him, his five cloaked beauties behind him, he just dropped the head of the warlord on the table, and gestured for the five to take of their hoods, reavealing their beautifull faces.
"Warlord" he spoke as ponted at the head, then pointed at the girls behind him "His would be harem. Mine now. Send your thank you gifts to the Blood mages mansion. He will hold it for me untill I go there to collect it. Enjoy." and with that he left the place alongside his Veran girls. Then he went and colected the trirty Veran he had waiting here from his previous raid. He spoke with Ren-Sa, and after she reported to him a quick verion of their stay, which was calm and peacefull, they all moved to the gate leading back to Blythe.
He brought all the girls back to his mansion. And once inside, he immediatly branded them all, an action that only the five girls from warlords harem could understand the magnitude off. It was a wise choice to try and appease the man, since their city could have perished, if he were to go all out. The thirty Veran women alongside the newly hatched girls would live here untill "Holy Whores" became operational, then they would serve as the overseers and maids, maintaining the establishment. They would not serve anyone. The five from the warlord would live here, and do whatever their duties here would be.
Then Rex spent the next few days catching up with Eredar, once he had done a quick one day grind in the dungeon to renew the meat supllies everywhere, Grogni, for whom he did a couple quick brands, making the first batch of super tier slaves, and recieved a few more cooks for his mansion. They would cook for the Veran adn oter future servants. Then he went over the major event regarding the world with Victor. It had been around two weeks that he spent on this trip, so nothing too much had happened. Echlisiarchy had been unussually quiet, but that was to be expected. With such a high profile fail, they were scrutinized by almost everyone, and that had them on the back foot.
With that done, and a couple days spent on it, he could finaly focus on the most important part- fully induling his women who had been patient. So he spent a few more days without doing anything else besides slaking the thirst of his ladies. Aina and Aisha were particularily thirsty, and they could no longer take only makeout sessions. So, they finaly took the last step to trully become his, in every sense of the world. He did not have too much time to bask in the achievement, since his dear twins had informed Rashuun of his return, so the result was as expected. She had quickly arrived and once again with the help of her twin daughters tried to owerpower Rex. They once again failed.The last girls who slaked their thirst was Leifia and Izumi. Rex was pleasantly suprised when Izumi came to him and showed quite the affection and desire for him. And her gaze spoke volumes- it was all genuine. Since she was the last one, after Leifia had been serviced and Rex had his fill of milf, they were now relaxing in her bedroom after their passionate session.
