Chapter 156

When Kanae, Esta, and Eliza reached the Hollow Glades, they found numerous equipment scattered about the threshold into the forest. Axes laid strewn on the ground, and wagons were left collecting dust instead of lumber. There was not a single sign of the loggers or Talis' party to be found.

"I know I promised to help, but where do we even start looking? Maybe I should have brought Tiny to sniff them out." Kanae squinted into the forest, hoping to glean literally anything.

"What should we expect out here anyway?" Eliza walked up and asked.

"Nothing Grell didn't think was important enough to mention. If they were regularly cutting trees here, then there might not have been anything dangerous around," she answered uneasily.

"Until now." Esta tightened her grip on both the massive sword and shield.

They had to find out one way or another and pressed forward into the forest. It was mostly pine trees around here. The ground was littered with their cones. Cute chipmunks, their mouths bursting with nuts, darted past Kanae's feet and ran up the tree before diving into a hole on a higher elevation of the trunk.

The deeper the three went, the more strange things they began to hear.

"Do you hear that? It sounds like rattling," Eliza said, pausing to scan their surroundings.

Kanae and Esta stopped to listen. The sound was faint, but they did hear the distinct repeating sounds of rapid and sharp noises coming from every direction.

Something above snapped. Esta shoved Kanae and Eliza forward as a wooden cage fell on top of her. Spears zipped past their heads, barely missing and plunging into the trees.

"Ambush!" Kanae shouted and tried to fly up and away from the projectiles, but a bola caught her wings. She crashed to the ground, lying on her back.

Eliza pulled tendrils of magic from her staff and formed a barrier around them, temporarily stopping the onslaught of spears and arrows.

"I can't hit what I can't see! Shall we escape for now?" Eliza asked, producing a teleportation pellet from her person.

"I got a better idea. Pull my top off!" Kanae exclaimed.

"Oh, my. Can't we wait until we get back to Highgreen?"

"Just close your eyes and do it already," she groaned.

Eliza picked Kanae up, then pulled her skimpy robe off. As Kanae's breasts spilled out, a blinding flash of light surged forth.

"Tch! What was that?"

"I can't see a damn thing!"

"Esta, you're up next!" Kanae shouted and bonded with her two companions.

"By your command, Master!" Esta bashed her way out of the cage and charged into the vegetation.

Another spear flew out, but Kanae caught this one with her tail.

"Allow me, Amethyst." Eliza twirled her staff, flinging what appeared to be magical particles all over the place. "Trace!"

The dust drew lines in the air. Kanae quickly realized by the tethers in the projectiles that they led to whomever had thrown them. She dove into thick foliage and found two lamia women, feeling around the earth for their bundle of spears and their eyes squeezed shut from being blinded.

"Well, well. What do we have here?" Kanae smiled, her voice causing them to tense up. She grabbed the two by their tails and dragged them out.

Across the way, Esta was doing the same with four more for a grand total of six between the both of them. They tossed the group of lamia into a pile and tied them up.

"I believe they are who we were hearing," Eliza said, pointing to the rattlers at the tips of their tails.

A rattlesnake species of lamia, it seemed.

"Who are you and why did you attack us?" Esta asked.

All six hissed in response.

"I'll get them to talk." Kanae placed a charm on the lamias, and they eased up right away under her spell. "If I had to guess, you're the ones who kidnapped the loggers from Highgreen?"

"If you mean those dark elven lads, then yes. Lady Farhan was quite pleased with their capture," the red-headed lamia said.

"Not to eat, I hope?" Eliza hesitantly questioned.

"Eat? No!" She erupted into laughter. "To breed!"

"To breed?!" Kanae and the others exclaimed.

Did that mean Talis, Shatiel, Jannie, and Clara were also…

The lamia continued, "Rest assured, we intend to let them go. Eventually. However, we of the Rattling Tribe have lost many males to war against the other serpent tribes. In order to replenish our numbers, Lady Farhan declared that men from no matter what race, even from our enemies, must be captured for the sole purpose of breeding."

"I have a dick, I volunteer!" Kanae stepped forward.

"What? Are you mad? We have more important matters at hand!" Eliza scolded her.

"Sorry… Force of habit." She cleared her throat. "Take us to Lady Farhan. Maybe we can settle this cordially as two leaders embroiled in war."

Esta cut the charmed lamias loose, and they gladly guided us through Hollow Glades to their Rattling Tribe. Of course, the welcoming party wasn't so warm. The warning noises of their rattles grew intense. Lamias, coiled along the upper trunks of the trees, had their arrows trained on them. Others slithered in pace just out of sight, hidden within the vegetation.

The tribe was surrounded by a long, palisade wall and reinforced with wooden spikes. Many lamia hissed from high up in the safety of their walls.

"Halt!" one lamia shouted from the closed gate, spear poised to run them through. "Why are these legged ones not tied up?"

"They come seeking an audience with Lady Farhan. Open the gates!" the red-headed lamia demanded.

"I'm Queen Kanae of the Commonwealth of Sin. You can let me in, or I can make you let me in." Kanae folded her arms.

They stared each other down until another lamia from the wall called to the one below. Whatever words they exchanged, Kanae couldn't make it out. However, the two guards stepped aside and the gates began to open.

"Enter," she hissed.

"Are we sure this is wise?" Eliza whispered quietly.

"We'll find the loggers and Talis' party, then break out of here. If the lamias still prove a problem, we can take care of them later by bringing an army," Kanae replied.

A group of armed lamia surrounded them, but they didn't have their weapons drawn. Instead, they faced into the village and urged Kanae onwards. The Rattling Tribe was composed mostly of straw huts and houses made of mud. There was not a single male in sight. Only female lamias as far as the eyes could see.

They continued up the stone path through the village until their escorts stopped abruptly. Before them was a throne made of wood, bones, and dire beast pelts. Behind it looked like a pit, and beyond that was a longhouse much larger than the rest of the homes around.

"My lady! You have guests who seek an audience!" a guard exclaimed.

"Oh, bother. Can it wait?" an exasperated voice asked.

A lamia woman slithered out of the pit and made herself comfortable on the throne, coiling her serpentine body of black and brown scales around the base. Smaller bones were woven into her short, jet-black hair that reached down to her shoulders. Unlike Rosaline, who wore clothes, this lamia was bare naked. Only tattoos and war paint marked up her glistening, sweat-drenched body.

"You're Lady Farhan? I'm—"

"Queen Kanae of the Commonwealth, I'm aware. You and your sssuccubi were on quite the warpath a few years back. We figured we would be next, but you never came," Farhan said amusingly, the easy-goingness of her voice accompanied by an occasional hiss lulling them into complacency.

"Would that have been a problem?" Kanae tested the waters with a gentle threat.

"No." She shrugged. "Your quarrelsss are beyond us. We have our own to contend with, like our conflicts with the other ssserpent tribes. Which is why we cannot return your people just yet."

"Then we're obligated to rescue them from you," Esta warned, her jaws seething with fire.

When the Rattling Tribe lamias drew their weapons at last to defend their leader, Farhan rose from her seat and raised a hand to stop them.

"They stay by their own volition. As a sssuccubus, you wouldn't very well take them away from their orgy. Would you?" Lady Farhan smirked.

"I highly doubt any of them have a choice— wait. Did you just say orgy?" Kanae lifted a brow.

"Follow me," she urged with the rattling tail gesturing for them to follow her behind the throne.

The three exchanged uneasy looks but ultimately followed Lady Farhan around. They gasped upon gazing down at the pit. At the very bottom, dozens of writhing female lamias were coiled up and embraced in various stages of sexual intimacy. Their moans were sweet and plenty, rubbing themselves against each other to climax. Among them were the dark elven loggers. All six of them, to be exact. It was an orgy alright.

"Oh, Queen Kanae! Sorry for slacking off… we, uh… got ourselves captured!"

"That's right! Just taking a wee break before— aahh~"

"Fascinating," Eliza muttered to herself. "So the lamia race truly do reproduce by engaging in group sex."

Kanae wiped the drool from her lips, fighting the urge to jump right in and join them.

"Are, uh… Are your males really all gone?" Kanae peered inside and hoped to get a look at some snake dick.

"The number of males in our tribe have dwindled to the point of becoming commodities. For their sssafety, I keep the men for myself lest we risk the other tribes taking them." Farhan casted her gaze to the longhouse, likely where the males were currently housed.

"Hm. Talis and his party are still unaccounted for," Esta said, eyes searching the pile for them.

"You mean the human male and his elven companions? He couldn't get an erection with us, so he was uselesssss to our needs. We let them go. If they have not returned to you, then it is more than likely the four were captured by one of the other tribes," Farhan explained.

That didn't sound good.

"Any idea which one they were taken to?" Kanae asked.

The Rattling Tribe's leader smiled. "Perhaps there is an alliance to be made after all. Defeat the others for us, help me consssolidate power to the Rattling Tribe, and I shall pledge my allegiance to you thenceforth."

"That's a bold request to have us do the heavy lifting for you. How do I know you won't betray me right after? Why shouldn't I ally myself with the bigger fish instead?"

"They won't acquiesce to you so easily," she began. "The larger serpents are always the most sssstubborn. You may also be interested in learning that a multi-limbed demon came through here, offering to broker an alliance, too."

The three of them straightened up. Minestra Val'doun. That herzulith was still up to tempting beastfolk into her service.

"Alright. Maybe I'll bite. Why didn't you join up with them?" Kanae asked.

"We're small, in both population and physical size compared to the rest of the tribes. No one sees us as a threat. Only a nuisance. I'm tired of sssseeing my people terrorized and preyed on. If they have made allies with demons, then maybe I should make allies with the Demon Queen. I'll make it worth your while," she said, sidling up next to Kanae such that their chests brushed against each other.

Kanae reached up and ran her fingers along Farhan's hair. The lamia woman's rattle shook repeatedly, this time in excitement as that piercing gaze softened with seductive intent.

"I think you've convinced me. Esta, Eliza… Take five while Farhan and I discuss an alliance," Kanae said.

"Ladies!" Farhan whistled sharply. "Show our honored guests the hosssspitality only the Rattling Tribe can give."

The lamia guards and villagers put away their weapons and hooked their arms around both Esta and Eliza, leading them into the longhouse. Before Kanae could see them disappear inside, Farhan wrapped both arms behind her neck and pulled them down. They fell into the pit of snakes. The smell of sex and sweat lingered heavily like steam inside a sauna. All the heat from the many bodies made it sweltering.

Kanae and Farhan kissed passionately, the latter's forked tongue coiling around the much larger tongue. Their erect nipples scraped one another in the writhing mass. Another lamia squirmed between Kanae's legs and licked her clit. More and more joined in, sucking on her nipples and licking her neck. Others crowded closer for a four-way kiss between her and Farhan.

"Ahh~ Being intimate with a succubus feels so good…"

"When is it my turn? I want to taste her so badly!"

Farhan began to coil gently around Kanae's waist until the pink slit of a pussy opened up between the scales in her face. Drawn in by the soaking snatch, Kanae licked the wet inner folds and sucked on the engorged clit.

"Amazing!" Farhan moaned. "You're sssso good that I'm already at the edge of… orgasssming… aaaahhh!"

"Don't pass out just yet. Tell me about the other tribes. What and who am I looking for?" Kanae asked, slipping two fingers into Farhan's quivering pussy.

"Hhnngh! There are… two who are the greatest threats… ahhh… Lakestalker Tribe are boa constrictor of mystical lamias that live by the waters of Lake Hollow… Then there is the Emeraldscale Tribe— mmmgh… giant anaconda species of lamia who rely on brute strength— I'm cumming, aaaaahhh!" she managed to finish answering as Kanae fingerfucked her to climax.

Their pile grew larger from lamias getting closer to join in the action. One by one, Kanae felled each of them. [Blowjob Proficiency] which also makes her cunnilingus more potent brought them to climax before they even knew what hit them. She gave special attention to the stronger contenders with her tail pussy.

Kanae orchestrated a chorus of moans from the entangled horde of serpents.

"Okay, Farhan. One more question before I accept this alliance," Kanae said, lifting the lamia women by her chin.

"Ask away." Farhan drew closer with a hot breath.

"Were you planning to betray me?" she asked, compelling an answer from her with a charm.

"Yesss—" the Rattling Tribe leader gasped at her own answer.

The rattling all around Kanae turned aggressive. A couple of lamia closest to her neck bared their sharp fangs. However, their bodies became tense. None of them lunged to sink their teeth into her flesh. The entire pit of lamias had fallen under her charm.

"I had a feeling it was too easy. You wanted to make me drop my guard? Big mistake." Kanae kissed the trembling Farhan deeply.

"Mmph… Wait… chuu… mmh… I was never… shllrp… ahh… going to…" Farhan pleaded between breaths.

Esta and Eliza had emerged from the longhouse and were standing at the edge of the pit.

"Well, I suppose not every lamia can be as blunt as Rosaline." Eliza heaved a sigh.

"Good call in not ending Bond's effects. We were able to fend off the ambush waiting for us inside the longhouse," Esta reported calmly.

Hearing that, the color drained from Farhan's face.

"Don't worry," Kanae whispered seductively into her ear. "We can still be allies. I'll just be the one pulling the strings from now on."

After subjugating Farhan, the rest of the Rattling Tribe put down their arms and surrendered. Kanae sat upon the disgraced lamia leader's throne seat, forcing the would-be betrayer to pleasure her in front of an audience.

As it turned out, the Rattling Tribe did in fact broker an alliance with Minestra. All of the serpent tribes of Hollow Glade did. However, it was true that they were still in conflict with each other. Apparently the demon lieutenant wanted it so because she found amusement in them fighting, and whoever emerged the victor would earn her favor.

"Have you told me everything?" Kanae asked.

"Yessss, I…shllrrp… shlluurrp… hahh… have," Farhan answered while licking Kanae's pussy like her life depended on it.

"Good. We're going to help you conquer the other two tribes," she said.

"I keep hearing one outrageous thing after another. We are? Truly?" Eliza glanced at Kanae in disbelief.

"Minestra has been a problem for me long before she was a threat to the Commonwealth. I've just found an opportunity to hit the demons where it hurts, so we're going to help the Rattling Tribe. When Minestra comes to grant her boon to Farhan, that'll be our time to strike."
