Wrapup

As the forces of darkness crossed the large courtyard and made their way into the castle keep, they encountered almost no resistance. With their mages dead, their armor and heavy weapons taken and the complete collapse of leadership, the forces of light were scattered and cut down all across the walls, the warehouses and the grounds. Using his powers to enter and unlock the keep doors, Midnight only had to kill two panicked soldiers as they made their way to the large banquet hall and threw open the doors.

A quick look was all it took to confirm that Raquel had played her part to perfection. Following Midnights orders, she had poisoned the entire stash of drink for the feast. There were perhaps two dozen soldiers still standing and most of the kitchen and wait staff, all of whom were struggling to get their comrades up on their feet. As the demons entered, those not paralyzed by the poison quickly panicked, a fact not lost on Halicarnassus. As the soldiers formed up ready to fight, she strutted to the front, placed her hand on her hips and simply stared down these **** soldiers. "Oh come now. You all know that fighting is pointless. Now you can die if you would like..." she raises her hand and the goblins prepare to open fire. "Or..." as she spoke the other female succubi began to step forward, all in minimalistic armor and very confidently began to put on a show. While some began to play with each others breasts, others licked and kissed each other, one particular succubus going so far as to begin fingering her partner with two fingers while gently rubbing her thumb along the outside.meanwhile, the rest began gyrating over the bodies of the paralyzed soldiers. Within moments, as they watched the erotic show, the men began to drop their weapons and stare hungrily at the demon women in front of them. Even the servants were enraptured by the performance and as he watched Midnight realized they were all being affected by Hali's passive lust powers. As he looked at Midnight she winked at him and then waved her soldiers forward. It was impressive to say the least. She gave no orders, yet they moved as one to secure every hostage in the place, stripping them of their clothes, ripping it into strips and tying them up. As they progressed, Midnight was amazed. Not one of the goblins even copped a feel. Suddenly he was shaken out of his reverie. Raquel was in here! Scanning the hall, she wasnt among those standing. So she must have been paralyzed as well. Dammit!

"Dhaelia, Marshon, I need you to search these bodies. Find a redhead in full plate mail." They both nod and spread out. At least Marshon seems to have developed a fondness for you. Dhaelia may not, but she trusts her friend. Scanning the bodies, Midnight was impressed. There were around 1500 bodies here. All taken down alive and without a fight. He would definitely have to reward Raquel for being so thorough. Actually all of them had done very very well. If only she hadnt gotten herself with...there!

A tuft of red hair being pawed over by three goblins. In that moment, Midnight almost lost his temper as he sharpened his tentacles, only dulling the edge at the last second as he threw the goblins 5 ft. As he did, he saw Raquels grateful face when she noticed that he had come to save her. Picking her up in two tentacles, he cradled her gently. "Dhaelia! Marshon! Over here!" As they rushed over, he checked on Raquel. She couldnt move, but didnt seem to be injured or in any danger. "This is Raquel. Im giving her to you to look after. Keep her safe while I get the others." As he spoke, he began opening Domain. Marshon looked nervous.

"You are badly injured. We should help you." Midnight gave a start. He hadn't expected such concern from someone he had enslaved.

"I need someone to make sure she stays safe. I'm trusting you with that. Ill be fine." As he passed Raquel off, she looked at him with **** questioning eyes. "Dont worry, I still have to reward you and the others for the great work you did. Ill be back." As her eyes calmed down, he passed her off to Marshon who cradled her in her arms and he opened the portal. "Marshon. You and I should talk when this is all over." She nodded "I'd like that." Once they were through, he turned back and was surprised by what had transpired. The whole exchange couldnt have taken more than a few minutes, yet the forces of darkness had been busy. All the prisoners had been stripped, bound and passed off to ogres who were carrying them outside. Probably to load up. The entire thing ran like a well oiled machine with none of the **** or mindless pillaging he thought he would see. The goblins would paw at some of the females as they worked, but they were quickly brought into line by the succubi and incubi overseeing everything.

"Hali, I must say you run a tight ship. I expected your goblins would run wild."

She gave a toothy grin. "They know better than to disobey my devils. With one of the heroes on the way, we dont have time for mindless pillaging, but as long as we succeed, they can go fuck happy for a month once we make it back."

"Hali, I might have misjudged your species. Here I thought a succubus would only be capable of thinking about sex."

She scoffs and rolls her eyes. "Thats what most people think. Just because we weaponize sex doesnt make us airheaded bimbos." As she spoke, he saw Dana and Malena walk into the main hall, a fact that didnt go unnoticed by some of the goblins who moved to restrain the two.

"Hey!" Speaking as he moved he sank into the ground and jetted across the hall to the entrance, emerging between the goblins and his slaves. "They are with me." No doubt most of the goblins didnt know what to make of a random shadow demon with human slaves, but a quick tongue lashing from a nearby succubus got them back to work. "Are you two alright?" They both nod.

"Master?" Dana began hopping up and down on alternate feet. "We opened the gate. We also secured the wall. Were we wicked?" Looking up with hope in her eyes, Midnight struggled for a moment before remembering he had promised to reward her for being wicked. He placed a hand on both their heads. "You both were very wicked and I will reward you both for it once..."

Suddenly a horn blew out across the battlements and as it did, Hali stood up and addressed her forces. "Move out! Grab what you can and get to the gate!" As the other succubi echoed her orders, her forces began to sprint out of the keep, grabbing fallen weapons, coin purses and anything shiny as they left. Turning to Midnight, she strode over. "Scouts report 3 riders an hour away. We need to be gone by the time they get here."

He nodded. "I need to pick up Nagi from the dungeons and then Ill be getting my people out. Dana Malena, lets go!" Turning, he headed out of the keep to the adjacent black tower. He took the stairs down this time at a jog. Hopefully Nagi hadn't caused too many problems.
