Chapter 96: I know his wife!
"The battle has ended, Minato. We have overwhelmed the Hard Steel Empire," Ingrid opened her dazzling green eyes and deeply looked at her beloved.
His dungeon races cleaned the whole empire's capital and their strongest people. Many soldiers were also caught prisoners, awaiting the Overlord's decision.
No one of them believed they would join his ranks, nor did they predict what his plans toward the newly conquered land were.
However, all trembled and remained in one spot with debilitating fear destroying them from within.
Minato glanced toward Ingrid, "Which race won one of mine mecha armors?"
To his curious expression, the elven queen replied with a sigh, "Frost Dwarves."
That was an answer Minato hadn't expected. Half of the frost dwarves' power came from the traps. Since their forces attacked the empire's capital, Minato thought it was implausible for those small people to get the most achievements.
After all, didn't they need to unfold those traps, then guide soldiers in?
However, Minato learned the answer to his inquiries.
Ingrid sighed, "They worked with Ice Trolls."
"Oh!" Minato exclaimed with genuine happiness.
That was a hella unexpected answer!
But on closer thought, Minato understood that Eldric probably used his recent visit to the world tree to his advantage. He must've used all in disposal, actually.
That was the truth!
Eldric used his visit, then spoke about the Majestic Ice Kingdom and their master plans toward the empire. He told Ice Trolls about turning the empire's land into snow land for the ice princess.
How many achievements would they get?
Those words shocked the Ice Trolls, and they bared their clubs at the representative, thinking that he'd come here to boast about his future.
Eldric quickly dispelled those thoughts and promised to help the Ice Trolls in the future achievements that should come straight after their victory against the Hard Steel Empire.
Per the old dwarf's conclusion, their master would bless the Majestic Ice Kingdom with many treasures and further boost their strength.
One was Dual Cultivation, the other was natural treasures giveaway. However, would that be truly enough? Wasn't that already what their master did, after all? Other than cultivating with more women, what else could their master do?
That was to request help from the Frost Dwarves and Ice Trolls!
While Frost Dwarves would be helpful for the Majestic Ice Kingdom, The Ice Trolls would just train with the kingdom's forces. Their forte was raw strength and their tall bodies. What else could they offer?
Indeed! Nothing!
They were pretty stupid, after all.
Thus, Eldric proposed cooperation that touched the hearts of all ice trolls. In the incoming battle with the Hard Steel Empire, the Ice Trolls would help them draw enemies into their traps and ice creations.
They would use their strength to throw, push and just force those soldiers into the jaws of the frost dwarves' coldness!
After the battle, the frost dwarves would help the Ice Trolls pass all their achievements.
That might sound unfair since the Frost Dwarves won the mecha armors while the Ice Trolls would just get achievements for helping the kingdom. However, if Ice Trolls failed to satisfy their master's demand, their hearts would grow worried, and no one knew what those stupid existences would do next.
That was why it was a win-win for both sides.
Minato was excited about the cooperation, however. He hoped it would stay for a long time, and perhaps eternity!
"I will personally speak with them later! Pass my orders to everyone; rest and keep an eye on your surroundings!" Minato happily ordered.
Ingrid bowed in her usual way, then replied, "Yes!"
As her upper body rose, Minato surprised the elven queen by planting a kiss on her lips. That surprise left Ingrid stiff, and she stared at Minato's face with widened eyes. It was so hard to focus on that kiss, especially with the new competitor behind them!
As their lips parted, Minato smiled widely, and using Mind Whisper, he whispered into Ingrid's heart, "You say my name so casually now. Is that due to the new competition?"
The Elven Queen's face blushed, and she nodded, "That's right... I will show her how close we are, Minato!"
"You said it without Mind Whisper," Veronica sneered from behind.
Ingrid's eyes shivered from embarrassment, and she clutched Minato's clothes, hiding her face within him.
How could she make such a mistake? But as she thought about it again, Ingrid's lips curved into a smile, and she peeked with a new portion of confidence surging straight from her heart, "You still have a lot to see and learn. No one knows Minato's wife as well as I do. I am also friendly with Bei. If you behave, I will give you a hint or two."
Ingrid left Minato surprised, and he stroked her hair a little faster.
On the other hand, Veronica arched her eyebrow.
She heard about the elves and knew about their status and world. Those words shouldn't have come out from the elven queen's lips, and yet it did. This left Veronica curious about the Overlord's wife and the other woman.
That didn't mean she would just stay still and wait.
As she had already offered her body and soul, Veronica took suggestive steps toward the Overlord, swaying her chest right and left.
As she was a few inches behind him, Veronica taunted with her smile and asked, "Master deserves rewarding rest as well for doing such splendid work. I also want to know my master more, so I request you to leave it all to me."
Her reptile eyes gleamed in lust, which was unconcealable and thirsty.
Ingrid shivered in Minato's hands, but he patted her blonde hair and let her go, "Look out after our family, Ingrid. I will be back soon."
The Elven Queen didn't have anything to say here. It would be the first time with the new race. The second race Minato would dual cultivate with.
He had so many, yet the elves prevailed in that area.
Thus, there was really nothing Ingrid would be able to say to convince her beloved to stay away from Veronica. She could only hope that the lizard woman would be bad in bed or her body quality would disappoint Minato!
"Yes, I will be waiting for your return..." Ingrid nodded and skipped her way toward her race. Then, they asked others whether they needed medical care.
As for Minato and Veronica, they went to her house, of course.
