The Band of Loyalty

King reached down and pulled the purple dragon off his cock. It was strange; he'd trusted King so implicitly without any convincing. His tongue was so long, and his mouth so warm, and he'd barely felt any teeth. King had guessed that might have been a challenge, but it really wasn't. He'd just knelt down and taken it with little hesitation. In fact, he'd looked almost determined as he'd sucked. Perhaps he was Princess Twilight's favourite concubine...

While King would have been content to just lie there and be pleasured all day, he had a plan to enact. Ponyville would be his before Rainbow had the chance to come back. She'd only taken in a small amount, and she had access to some of his abilities. She'd be back to normal in a few days, rather than the month that it would take anypony else at this point. That meant he would have to act fast and claim as many slaves as he could. The first dozen needed to be taken down this morning, and he'd need fifty new slaves by the end of the day. Seventy-five by noon the following day, and then he could keep anypony else from escaping as he took over the town.

He relayed his plan to Princess Twilight, who offered up her powerful abjurations. As an alicorn, she could seal off the town and keep everypony inside their homes, making it very easy to collect. King very much enjoyed this plan, and told her to enact it right away.

There was vast confusion in the streets as Twilight's force field covered the town, sealing everypony inside. That confusion turned to panic as a large vision of Twilight's face descended from above. "Citizens of Ponyville! Return to your homes at once! I have just been informed of a deadly contagion that has has been brought to Ponyville by terrorists! I will personally be visiting each of you to ensure they each of you is safe, and if I should find traces of the bioweapon, I will make sure you receive the proper treatment right away! Return to your homes immediately!"

Ponies rushed back to their houses, tripping over each other as they went. As Twilight returned to King's side, her serious face turned to a chuckle. "I think they bought it."

"I hope they did," smiled King. "I don't want to have to deal with any stragglers."

As the ponies filed into their homes, most of the guards filed back into the castle. Some of them had stayed in the streets to patrol and ensure that everypony stayed in their houses. Those that came back would be the first to be taken in, but King would need help. He had Twilight teleport Big Mac and Applejack to their location to hold the guards down. Between the two of them, they had little trouble pinning the guards to the table while King took them. With every guard "cleared for duty," they were given a new soldier to aid in their plight. By the time they were ready for lunch, King had already claimed thirty new slaves. That was more than double what he had intended by this point.

After a quick meal, the collected guards were sent out into the town to take the places of those who had stayed behind, so that they, too, could be "treated." Forty guards total had been in Ponyville at the time, and now all of them were King's subjects.

The next stop was to go to Town Hall. It was likely that the mayor and a few clerks were still hanging around there, just in case somepony needed paperwork. They were very welcoming to King, as he showed up alongside Twilight, with several guards escorting them. They all filed into the offices, separated the building into two sections, pretended to sweep one side, then filtered the ponies one by one through a connecting room until everypony in the building was a slave.

Having access to the municipal offices meant having access to citizenship records of everypony in Ponyville. If they paid taxes, they were in these files. If they had arrest records, they were in these files. If they reported that their dog was missing, they were in these files. With the first clerk through, King had a list of every single pony in Ponyville, and almost guaranteed locations for them.

He went to the first residence on the list with Twilight and the guards after the civics center was taken down. It was a large house with two families living in it. As King had the guards pretend to sweep the house, he gathered the residents in one room. There were supposed to be seven ponies here, but there were only four. "Where are Strawberry Gaze, Thunder Flash, and Silver Flash?" he asked.

"Our kids?" asked one of the stallions. "They're away on a long school trip, thank Celestia. There shouldn't be any children here in town until this biological weapon scare is over."

King nodded. "I understand. In that case, let's hurry this along. We wouldn't want to worry them unnecessarily, would we?"

They finished that house quickly, and several others, as well. With every slave collected, King would check their name off the list, and every minor would be skipped over, as they weren't around anyway. They worked long into the night, and managed to clear just over half the town. Finally, an hour after midnight, King was out of energy and needed to sleep. He wasn't taking the time to receive praise from his victims this time, he was was just trying to drive his numbers up as high as they would go.

He returned to the castle for the night to rest and recharge. As he walked into his new bedroom, the one he'd stolen from Twilight, he was pleased to find Spike bent over the bed waiting for him, dressed in drag and ready to please his King. Rather than mounting him, as he wanted to, King was too tired. He flopped down on his back, ready to fall asleep. Spike took the hint, climbing on top of his dick and milking it with his arse. He was very tight, and exceptionally warm and comforting. As King was being worshipped here, he was gaining energy. As he pumped his load into Spike, the dragon lay down on top of him, acting as a heated teddy bear, aiding King in his effort to fall asleep.
