Chapter 57: Taming A Whole Pack Of Ice Wolves

It"s actually extremely convenient that you idiots came all the way here, now I can easily harvest you all for some food!
Wait… I also wanted milk.
"Are any of you having pups right now? I might spare all of you if you just happily give me some milk," I said through telepathy.
The wolves, of course, didn"t understand a thing, growled, and ran towards me.
Are you guys for real?!
I am Rank 2!
I will just sweep the floor with you, yet you come to attack me anyways? Such boldness!
Oi, Leader, stop telling them to do something so reckless, you dumba.s.s!
I quickly jump into the air and evade the two wolves running towards me, and then, in the air, I target the Wolf Grand Leader with Wind Magic, catching it up with a net of winds as it struggles to escape, the other wolves are left watching in complete disbelief.
Yeah, did you really think I was going to actually fight? I can just do this instead…
The Ice Wolf Grand Leader constantly fires icicle spears at me as I absorb them all easily, thanks for the mana bud.
After that, he is left tired, as he glares at me.
He keeps struggling for another half a second, and I can clearly see in his eyes that the more I raise him into the air, the more despair grows on his eyes.
"I see, you"re a bit clever than the rest, but not enough to comprehend who the heck you"re trying to mess with, don"t you?" I asked as the wolf"s eyes seemed to be sinking in their sockets, his snout was falling off his face as if he had even lost the will to fight back.
The higher I carried him into the air, the more despair grew on his head.
This was, for a lack of a better term, intimidation.
And I enhanced it by using my Fear-Inducing Aura too, so he was literally p.i.s.sing himself (yes, p.i.s.s was falling over the face of the other wolves down below).
"Alright bud, now listen to me, and listen well, you"re going to become my tamed pet, get it?"
It obviously doesn"t understand me, but the intention is there, and the wolf groans while nodding.
Oh, I guess he gets it somehow.
"Good boy, I knew we were going to become nice friends. See? Pretty easy. And for being such a good wolf, I am going to give you a name, yes, a name… How about… Frost?" I said.
Ding!
[You have named the [Ice Wolf Grand Leader (Rank 1 Upper Stage)] as [Frost]!]
[Due to its submission and given name, [Frost] has been tamed as a Monster Pet]
Nice! See? That"s what I was talking about!
I quickly fly down below, and I order Frost to calm down the other wolves, which obey him rather quickly.
Really, they would obey anything I guess, its kind of like brainwashing… but not.
Now that all the wolves are "tamed" due to Frost"s authority, I order frost to bring me a female who might have recently have pups.
Even if it doesn"t understand my language, tamed monsters naturally understand the intention of their masters through this System. Though I don"t know if it works elsewhere without it, or maybe I am just bulls.h.i.tting my way through.
Anyways, Frost leads me to their lair which was very close by, in another large cave, and I quickly find the mother of four pups.
"Alright girl comes with me, don"t worry, you can go back to them in a few minutes," I said, although she didn"t understand anything and simply mindlessly obeyed Frost.
With a milk-making machine and a strong Ice Wolf at each side, I ran back to Benladann, finding her still struggling, and the water was already beginning to boil.
I quickly threw the herbs over the water to make an herbal tea with them, leaving it to boil slowly while I began the milk-extraction routine!
I made a bucket of ice and asked Yuki to do with her nimble and small humanoid hands.
She was kind of against the idea, but the female wolf submissively sat down over the floor with her hind limbs to let the deed be done.
"Come on, just do it already! I don"t have hands, you know? Be more useful!" I said mercilessly, I think I broke Yuki"s heart, but this was what I call tough love, you know?
"Kyuu!" groaned Yuki, quite mad, but still obeyed.
In the end, Yuki sighed as she began to milk the t.i.ts of the Ice Wolf mother, white milk began to fall in small rivers over the bucket slowly.
After around half an hour, the bucket was mostly full, but the mother was now almost empty of milk, so I gave her an Ice Crow to eat for herself as a prize, and let her go back with Frost protecting her back. She is a precious milk-maker, so she has to be well-guarded.
Now… wolf milk. Yeah, I wouldn"t want to taste that.
But I did anyway, extending my tongue and taking a little wee sip.
Gueh, it tastes like… Wait, it is not so bad.
It is just… a bit more acidic than cow milk I remember from my previous life.
But the acidic part is good, it can help Benladann form up gastric acids faster.
Maybe we could even make some yogurt out of this so it can produce lactic bacteria which helps even better at this.
I left the bucket boiling though, as warm milk is always better for the belly, and this will kill unnecessary bacteria in the milk too.
After the milk extraction, the herbal tea was done.
I made an ice cup that Yuki filled with the sup using a large ice scoop, and then we finally gave it to Benladann.
"I can"t… believe it… is this herbal tea? You… you made it for me…? Thank you so much…" she muttered, drinking it slowly.
"Gueh… so bitter…" she sighed.
"Drink it all!" I groaned.
"Okay, okay…! Ungh…!" muttered Benladann, as she drank more of the herbal tea until there was nothing left.
After that, I gave her another cup and then let her rest.
Some minutes pa.s.sed, and she seemed to be stabilizing a bit, the stomachache became lesser, and the fever was dissipating…
