Fantasy Dungeon Builder's Harem

Alizee soared over the next assault rushing at the damaged west wall. The crack was growing worse. Masonry tumbled from it. The wall looked unstable, damaged severely by those big boulder lobbing thingies.

Arrows peppered the walls, forcing the monster girls defending the battlements to duck behind them. Save Hagane. She let the arrows ping off her body as she watched the fresh siege ladders come up.

"Come on!" Alizee cried to her surviving harpies. The sirens had died, but they had done their job. Now they had to defend the wall.

Holes opened in the ground, swallowing soldiers here and there. The oreads at work, but they just killed one or two at a time. It wasn't enough to stop the crush of soldiers. Fresh ladders slapped against the wall and men went up them.

She slashed with her wind blades.

She struck a ladder, cutting off a soldier's arm and slicing through the side of the ladder. It creaked, groaned, then snapped in half. Men above fell into those waiting below. Her harpies swooped on other ladders, grabbing soldiers and pulling them off to drop them on the mass of enemies below.

Makeshift weapons.

Arrows filled the air.

Alizee danced through them with the grace of a cheerleader. She wove a path through the death to swing her arms. Blades of air killed soldiers climbing ladders. Fire burst from the wall, engulfing others. Smerta and Hagane fought, but they were losing defenders.

Hota screeched and vanished, the arrow that killed her falling back to the ground.

A howling whirlwind and a roaring firewhirl hurtled over the wall and into the siege ladders. Paetu and Esclava engulfed the enemy. The djinn threw men out from the ladders, hurtling them above Alizee. The ladders followed. The ifrit left her ladders burning, the men screaming as they fell to the ground engulfed in oranges and reds.

Daleitha followed. Her multitude of rainbow wings flapped as she sent blades of light hacking down into the enemy. In moments, all the ladders were cleared from the wall. Alizee whooped so loudly.

"Oh, yeah!" she cheered, putting her fists together and making a circle before her with them as her hips rocked back and forth. "We're fierce! We're hot! We're full of fight! You challenged us, now fear our might!"

"Nice!" Pihatu said as she flashed by Alizee.

Hagane watched the ladders being destroyed. The soldiers at the bottom reeled now as Paetu and Esclava surged down into them. Natural disasters with intelligence. The soldiers screamed as they recoiled.

"Get them!" roared Smerta as she jumped off the wall.

Snezhinka, the last surviving yuki-onna, followed. The three salamanders--Astuta, Dolor, and Horca--followed, using their wings to glide over the enemy and breathe fire on them. The arachnes leaped off and fired their webbing. Damhanalla, Gaiste, and Greasai entangled soldiers that still had fight in them.

"Yes!" Hagane cried and leaped off the wall.

Hagane rushed at the enemy. She barreled into them with Smerta. They both swung their weapons, hacking them down. Paetu's whirlwind roared by, throwing dozens of soldiers to their deaths. Esclava's firewhirl carved molten death deep into the enemy soldiers.

They had no heart left to them.

The enemy broke.

"South wall secured," Hagane reported.

That was all of them.

I felt sick as I stared at the blackened bodies in the north gate tunnel. Kassie still held my hand. She looked pale, a green cast to her eyes. This assault was over, but I had lost a lot of monster girls. Siwang's reinforcements burst out of his dungeon and surged out to take their places on the wall, but he couldn't fix the damage.

And his forces couldn't hold back another assault.

"Let's go," I called to Kassie and raced back to the central building.

The moment I was in my dungeon, I could feel that there were no intruders. No unwelcomed guests. I rushed down the stairs and to the teleport room. With her shouted words, we shifted into the heart of my dungeon.

I rushed to my Vault, letting my spells vanish from me. The clatter of metal fell away when I dismissed Metal Coat. I darted through the living area and opened my Vault. Souleen perked up at the sight of me.

I grabbed the Void Crystal and surged to the building section. I repaired all three gates and all four walls, especially the south wall. It had almost failed. We were secure, for now. I felt so sick as I sunk into the Crystal to revive dead monster girls.

I found my mother and whispered for her.

She spun out of the darkness as my hands fell from the stone. She shuddered as she appeared, her motherly breasts swaying back and forth. I stared at her, the pain welling up inside of me. Something in me broke.

"I don't get it," I whispered. "I didn't attack them. I never threatened the King of Myreman. Why are they here? Why did so many have to die?"​
