'That was far more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.' Thought Frost as a joyful smile adorned his lips.
The screams, the sll of blood, the personal destruction of their last glimr of hope. Frost thoroughly enjoyed each and every second of it, his heart filling with imnse satisfaction.
He licked his lips in a way that could easily make those looking shiver in fright. A true monster was starting to be unleashed.
Thankfully this side of him was only shown towards his enemies but a few sadistic thoughts did creep their way towards another area of his mind.
Given that he was deprived of most 'sensual pleasures' during the wall developnt Frost's mind was prone to the occasional daydream. And right now it seed that his imagination linked up with his more sadistic mood.
The evil smile on his face slowly morphed into sothing more lewd as images of his green enchantress bound by rope drifted to the forefront of his mind. A certain area grew and hardened as these images grew clearer and more diverse.
He saw Maya with a blindfold on, her mouth gagged as her body writhed from the external pleasure.
"Hehehe" A laugh escaped his lips as desire took hold.
"Master you're drifting off again." Just when Frost was about to ignore his schedule and hunt down his lovers to partake in his imagined play Findley spoke up from his side.
"Urgh" Frost groaned in displeasure.
"I know you've been struggling to restrain yourself recently master, but the wall is almost ready." Findley shook his head as he struggled to understand the extent of his master's cravings.
"Haaaaaa you're right as always Findley, our work needs to co first." Frost sighed and cald down his rising emotions with great difficulty.
'It's all Khuno's fault. How dare he ditch work and get so while I have to restrain myself hmph.' Sohow Khuno had earned his master's ire.
"I'll go and inspect the wall, inform Maressa and her sisters that Kalia's head is ready and waiting for them."
"Understood master." Findley the ever dutiful subordinate saluted with his arm across his chest before teleporting to another part of the Dungeon.
"Two days and the deadline will be up; they better make it."
Following the end of Kalia and her comrades Frost as he said inspected the progress of the mighty defensive wall set 8 kilotres beyond the Dungeon's entrance.
Like every other day previous since work began the place was packed with people. Hundreds upon hundreds of labourers, adventurers and monsters could be seen all over the grand wall, slowly but surely adding to its already imposing height.
18 tres was the current average height across the entirety of the wall, already 50% higher than Furano's northern wall but considering their location a necessary asure.
After the final plans the end height was set to be 24 tres, so they were around 75% done in regards to just the height but of course there was more to it than that.
The wall once it reached 16 tres was no longer just a simple solid protrusion that separated one area from another no, the inside beca partially hollow, granting people access.
Within this hollow recess soldiers such as the ronsos would be able to walk two abreast across two levels.
Within these levels would be war machines (both long and short range), ammunition reserves as well as other aspects that would allow those dwelling within to fire upon the encroaching enemy while remaining safely protected by the surrounding walls.
Managing this section as well as the top section which needed to house an even greater amount of war machines and soldiers was a lot more tedious and complicated than the previous sections. Here the skilled Labourers from the labourers guild as well as Rana herself needed to be on point with every calculation.
A mistake here could be disastrous, opening up a weak point in the mighty wall thus making its purpose moot.
When Frost arrived he was instantly slotted into the yuki-onna division and ordered to solidify the wall's connections as well as strengthen the pykrete and glacial ice used in the foundations. A job that only those with adept ice magic and or ice chakra could do.
Though he was the Lord of territory Frost didn't complain in the slightest, imdiately getting to work, slowly but surely completing one area at a ti.
It couldn't be compared to his training with Maya but having to thodically utilise his magic and chakra over and over again with precise control was training in itself thus he was happy to take part. Plus with his aid perhaps the job would be completed faster, and he'd no longer have to hold back his ever growing urges.
The Amazonian Beauties received ownership of Kalia's head a few hours later in the day and though with clear reluctance the party once again left Frost's territory. This ti however they were heading ho to the Queendom of Ranullia, a journey that would take them several weeks at the very least.
Khuno along with the ronso guards Chana and Freya played with were obviously a little depressed by them leaving once again but thankfully the girls promised to return as soon as they were able, finding the Niflheim city-state very much to their liking.
Frost was even told that it wouldn't be strange if the Queen herself joined them on their return trip so she could thank him in person. Their Queen really wasn't like the royalty in other countries, she truly played to her beat. Frost genuinely looked forward to eting the woman that Maressa and her sisters held in such high regard.
2 days later, the final day of the set deadline Frost stood at the eastern edge of city's boundary and watched as the final touches of the main gate were finished.
"Magnificent.' He comnted as a strong feeling of accomplishnt radiated through his body, filling him with pride and joy.
Two weeks, for two weeks the entire territory had been working non-stop to complete this monstrosity that stood before him. A mighty wall that would elevate their Camp into a city-state and provide much needed defence against even the most brutal of monsters and deadliest armies.
There was still much to be done but from a rough gauge close to 90% of the wall was already complete thus clearing Frost's deadline and then so.
Don!
As the last hamr fell and the ornate gate that was fashioned from 3 and 4 star materials slotted into place a silence filled the area before a chorus of celebration erupted.
"Whoaaaaa!!"
"Finally!!!"
"It's perfect."
Many labourers slumped to the ground from exhaustion, the strained tension and focus that kept them going for so long left the confines of their body, allowing them to at long last truly rest.
The requirents set by Frost had been cleared so now they could finish the final additions and more normal pace.
"Well done Rana, you exceeded my expectations."
"Hehehe thanks Lord Frost but I didn't do it alone, my workers, the adventurers, volunteers as well as your trusted subordinates all played a large part." Rana scratched the back of her neck as she felt a little embarrassed from hearing Frost's praise but like a good leader she didn't forget to spread the rit.
"Of course, everyone that took part went above and beyond for this project, I am imnsely grateful." Frost knew that his sudden tiline was a very big ask and that many people thought he was paranoid but regardless they still did their best to et his proposed deadline.
Feeling grateful Frost took a step forward and loudly spoke.
"Tonight we celebrate, all food and drink will be on !" His words resulted in another round of celebration; they could finally let loose.
After a few more words of thanks and professional inspections Frost along with his loyal secretary Yuna returned to the Lord's manor.
Now that the wall was over 80% finished it could properly protect those that dwelled within thus leaving nothing to hold Frost back from embarking on his next adventure.
"Have the supplies been prepared, how are Avira and Borris?"
"We've put together enough supplies to last a month, food, camping gear, money etc you shouldn't have any problem with a prolonged expedition master." They also made sure to supply extras in case a certain Princess failed to properly take care of herself.
"Borris finished his preparations a few days ago and is currently using his remaining ti to relax in the bath houses, partake in the higher ranked restaurants and occasionally interact with Daki."
"Princess Avira however seems to be getting more and more stressed. Luna while she was here tried to get her to relax at the bath houses as well as taking her shopping, but it seems she's really desperate to leave." Frost had Nanna as well as certain monsters keep a close eye on Avira's movents and the usual reports that passed through his hands corroborated what Yuna said.
The young Princess was very keen to leave here and reach Icethorne. Of course this wasn't anything against Frost or his territory but more that she just couldn't relax while her brothers continued to vie for the throne, and she remained without any viable support. Plus not having a confidant such a General Anya by her side or the shadow guards started to wane on her mind.
"Haaaaa inform her that we'll be leaving tomorrow perhaps that'll perk her up a bit."
"Yes master."
"Is there anything else?" With the focus primarily being on the wall's completion as well as his personal developnt most of the day to day Camp/city and Dungeon stuff was handled by Yuna and Findley respectively. Frost just received the occasional summary of what happened.
"Nothing that needs your personal involvent master but the number of possible spies as well as saboteurs has certainly been on the rise, especially over the last few days."
"Well that's no surprise."
