The number did not matter at all to me. It was just an excuse for skinship with him. I began kissing each one and he began sighing. "You're a bit late if you're going to be possessive." he said. I smirked and said "I don't care that you want to have some babies. You couldn't have any with me anyway." "Is that something important to you!? If we had babies together, you would pay more attention to me?" Epsilon challenged. "Maybe. But there's no way my favorite Protector-Black Ops could be any more beautiful than you are now." That seemed to please him. Epsilon relaxed and pressed back against me. "You know, you're the only guy that can make me cum on your own. That's just a bonus though." he said. "What? You think there's more?" I teased. He chuckled and said "I'd be yours forever if you'd let me top every now and again. I could make you cum over and over again." I did not doubt it. "Too bad I'm a strict top." I said. He sucked his teeth and turned to face me. He had a serious look on my face. "What are we going to do now?" he asked. I was not sure. "We could do anything."
Under normal circumstances something would happen and we could go on a quest. However, there were no Players near the town. There was still the matter of the big election. Midnight the Spearbunny, Dusty the Distractor and a chipper Ribbi were the candidates. I was not sure what would happen. On the day of the election, I had everyone gather around the tower. Everyone got to pick the candidate they wanted. After all the votes were tallied up, the winner was Midnight the Spearbunny. Midnight wanted to continue the raids. That had been stopped when the Diulfs came to us as a result. The white Diulf was out there still. There was no doubt in my mind that they would be plotting their revenge at some point. It also did not stop the other races from trying to breach our walls and raid us without permission. Dispatching them was not hard, but it was annoying. I allowed our new mayor to get started organizing those raids. The first raid was against the nearest Tac tribe. It was a big success and we got some nice trophies and cool goods. Unfortunately, it was the last straw for them.
I was not too surprised when they declared war on us. The Tac tribe were a bunch of black feline people. They were angry and wanted revenge. How they were going to get that revenge was up to them. I knew that they were not going to be winning this war. We were just way too strong for them. Tac packs would try to sneak their way through the gates. They tried disguises as well as climbing the walls when the guards were not there to watch over the positions. Whenever and wherever a Tac was found, especially a black one, they were destroyed. That was until I found a male one snooping around the tower. I followed him and saw he was armed with a dagger. I just continued watching from a distance. The Tac made his way to the mana well. He had a bucket. He used the bucket to scoop out some mana and began to drink it. A change began to take place immediately. That was not a very good sign. The males were smaller than the females and largely submissive. This male grew a full foot and gained the muscle tone of a professional sprinter. Still not much of a convincing threat.
Very quietly, I watched as the Tac scooped more into his bucket and left the tower. I wondered what he would do with it. Something that was clear was that this was going to lead to something interesting down the line. More and more of the Tacs were encountered outside of the town and adventurers had to constantly battle them if they wanted to do much of anything outside the walls. The Daot and Elitper adventurers did much better than the Ynnubs did in battle. The Ynnubs only had their iron armor advantage to help them. Even that was not enough to stop the ferocity of the Tac hunters every time. There were casualties on both sides of the war. Midnight did not like that a lot of his offspring were dying. "Sage, you should fight. Go end the war." he said when he visited the tower. That was not a bad idea. I nodded and told them that I was going to take Ichika, Santa and Gou with me. Midnight just nodded and got some warriors ready. They came from all of the tribes. All in all, there were 20 of them. It would not take this many men for my plan. I was going to lead them to all victory today.
