Novel Full Chapter 731 - The Brave Lizardmen
-----
Kraxka rushed into the frontlines while mounting an Ice Wolf. He had never mounted such a beast, but it felt right in place when he sat over its fluffy back. The creature was also quite cooperative and didn't fight back for the most part, so he quickly bonded with the monster and led his army! The entire group had around 24 more Ice Wolves, who were big enough to carry around two to three of them with ease, so they were all mounting them to advance quickly!
However, that wasn't all, the army was also decorated with an army of ice golems that held a pristine crystalline brilliance and were as big as five meters, while the snow beasts, as big as three meters, were just as intimidating and powerful, these were just "friends" from Drake, their Scaled God, who had decided to bestow the Lizardmen with mounts, armor, weapons, and even new allies to fight the invaders of the village and clean their name as savages… by slaying the savage versions of them from the depths of the jungles!
When Drake presented Kraxka with this idea, the lizardman had also fainted, it was just way too good of an idea for some reason, but Kraxka never thought about it until now… for some reason. Nonetheless, now that he was being given the opportunity to cleanse his name by defeating these evil lizardmen being taken over by chaotic monsters, he wasn't going to miss it. At his side there was his daughter as well, who was a powerful magician and was given a light armor and a big staff, alongside several rings and bracelets that enhanced magic power. Her daughter looked pristine in the silver armor, and seemed like a true magician damsel, his father was proud of how much she had grown.
However, his daughter was in another place completely, she seemed nervous, but not because they were going to fight, but because of another thing…
"Ugh… W-We are really coming to this village, huh? Hahh… I-I wonder how he's doing…" She sighed.
"Ah…!" Kraxka quickly realized what this was! He suddenly remembered that his daughter used to be friends with a weird human kid that always brought her treats and gifts. Back then he and her mother were very strict with her because they didn't wanted anything to do with humans, and disliked how their daughter was befriending one, thinking that it would ultimately lead to the kid telling the rest of the humans about their hideout and then they would get slain by the humans.
Of course, such way of thinking was more of his younger years when he hated humans and the people of this nation a lot for having killed his father, but now that he had maturated more and calmed himself from such rage, he realized that coming back to this village meant a lot because it meant coming to the village where her friend should be living.
What if her friend is dead? What if he died against these monsters?! These questions quickly began to torment Kraxka's and Miminga's minds, father and daughter were rather connected. However, Kraxka still didn't knew what to even think about this, as it had been so long ago. His daughter was now such a beautiful young woman, and he began to believe that she was perhaps still thinking about him even now based in the words she just said… It was already notable by how she had been rejecting all the young males that had been trying to court her before.
They brough her all sort of gifts, showed her their big and fatty tails, and even painted themselves with colorful colors and danced in front of her to amuse her, some even showed her some of their magic or weapon techniques, the chief had even held a tournament between young males where the winner would have a chance at dating with her to see if they could connect, but Miminga was always rejecting every male… she was always uninterested in marriage, finding a partner, or even having children.
Her father didn't wanted to force her but… it was getting a bit too much, he began to fear that he would need to have another child with his wife to have grandchildren because it seemed that his daughter wasn't interested in procreating at all… Something odd at her age, where she should already be in heat and ready to lay an egg after passing a night with a male.
…But she was refusing any contact with other males, and when some of them got tired and tried to assault her at night, her father beat them all to a pulp, so he decided to not pursue this as he felt like he was even pressuring his own tribe to mate with his daughter, which felt weird and awkward when he realized it.
However, what his daughter truly wanted seemed to be… this boy, this human. She had not stopped thinking about him, and her heart seemed to have already been taken by him. He sighed internally, thinking about the future of his daughter. He didn't even knew if it was actually possible for a lizardman and a human to be together, it felt so odd, they were two completely different races after all. But her daughter's feelings surpassed even her race, and they were so strong that it made her resist her own heat, an instinct that every female had to mate at her age…
"So you're still in love with that human, huh?" He sighed.
"E-Eh? W-What are you talking about?!" Asked his daughter while blushing.
"Miminga… If we find him alive, I'll give him a chance." Said Kraxka.
"E-Eeeh?! What are you even talking about, father? S-Stop talking nonsense!" She said.
"Miminga! Stop saving up those feelings, I know every well about that human and how you've still been thinking about him this entire time! Sigh… Just accept that I will give him an opportunity!" Kraxka said, as Miminga felt like she skipped a beat.
"F-Father…"
