Nearly an hour later the two Lords had calmed down enough to realize, even if they had lost many memories, they were powerless to do anything. It was completely useless to even think about such a thing. So after another hour of talking it over, the pair decided to leave such discussions for when they didn't have to worry about setting themselves up.
The pair then spent the next few hours talking about where Addy should set up her own camp. Within the six hours that Addy spent walking to an appropriate location, Allen had decided that almost all Giant Wolves would spend their time under her control so long as the Giants summoned had had some experience with them. If not then only half of all summoned wolves would go to Addy while the rest would be controlled as primary attack forces in all attacks.
It was already mid-day by the time Addy arrived at the agreed upon location and took out her own Simple Giant House Creation Crystal. Allen, not knowing how it would work for a giant, took a position very far away.
Soon a flash of light covered the area as the land around the surroundings quickly changed as the flat area covered in trees soon rose out of the ground making a small mountain. Slowly the bright light dimmed as the area stabilized and a large cave at the bottom of the mountain could be clearly seen.
Soon after Allen and Addy met at the cave entrance, "Welcome to my humble abode." Addy waved her hand inviting Allen inside. The cave itself was huge and sank deeper into the ground as well making the height even taller than before. The cave itself was one big room and nothing else.

"So, can you place down the summoning circle? I really want to see if they know anything about Giant Wolves." Allen had great anticipation of the Earth Giants. After all, he knew his summons were all adults, and although he didn't know how giants age. It is hard to think of a rock aging quickly, so probably slowly. More time means more information.
"Sure!" Addy herself was very curious about how others of her race acted and what they would be like.
Soon after a crystal appeared in her hand that she quickly crushed. After the large flash of light and strong winds, a huge summoning circle appeared in the middle of the room. As it was the first time Addy had seen such a sight, she was quickly mesmerized by the strange patterns and symbols making up the drawing on the floor. It was very difficult to tell what was a symbol or just another line.
For Allen, it was like he was seeing such a sight for the first time again as the lines alone were nearly a meter thick. There were even some smaller symbols that could be seen in between others. These smaller symbols could be clearly missed by someone like Addy who was massive, but for Allen, it was like it was at most the size of his fist.
[Would you like to take control over this summoning circle? (This process will take 6 hours)]
[Yes] [No]

[Note: First time summoning is completely free.]
After admiring her summoning circle for a good half hour, Addy activated it. Another bright flash of light enveloped the cave as the wind was once again pulled in as the circle activated. Soon ten hulking figures appeared in the cave. They all paused for a moment before slowly laying down on their stomachs.

Allen was completely shocked at the amazing stats the giants wielded. The highest number a wolf had as a stat was only 30, but for these giants, 30 was on the low end if one ignores agility. Even in skills they have him beat with 1 C rank skill, two D rank skills, and one E rank skill, his Forest Wolves on the other hand have 1 F rank, 1 E rank, and 1 D rank.
Addy was also very excited and quickly ordered them to stand up. The giants who had been ordered to stand moved very slowly as they pushed off the ground and uneasily got onto their feet.
The ten Giant Wolves who were watching the whole thing looked on in curiosity. Quickly caught the attention of the Earth Giants. Addy who was observing them the whole time decided that this was a perfect time to ask them about the wolves.
"Do you all know anything about the Giant Wolves? You see these Giant wolves are the troops of my friend Allen here." Addy pointed at the minuscule Allen who was on Almos' back, "He has summoned them and needs to know more about them, but I have little knowledge of such wolves. He hoped summoned Earth Giants like you all could tell him about them."
One of the Giants looked in both understanding and confusion as he spoke first with a low gruff old man tone, "So, our Lord is very young then. You have gained the body of an adult without the time, so I understand why you don't know." The other giant's eyes looked like they had some sort of epiphany as the first giant continued.
"I am very confused why you would ally yourself with such a puny and weak Human, but I trust Lord's judgment." the giant then turned his focus to Allen, "As such, please ask away of all you need to know about these cute wolves."
Allen though surprised by how condescending the giants could be, still understood that he was truly the weakest of everyone here. Even when considered against any of his troops he was weak, with the only exception being the base human.
"Elder, first and foremost, I want to know what to feed them and how much. Also, I hope to know what did any Giant use them for."
The elder giant eyes expressed everything as he spoke, "You don't want to know how to control them? Only their needs? You ask about what Giants used these Giant Wolves for, which means you have most likely never come across a Giant before our Lord. Still, I have sworn to follow my Lord so I shall answer your questions without any hesitation, but if I am allowed to hesitate, I would ask you to give my Lord some of the Wolves as a gift.
The Giant Wolves require 1 ton of meat a month and can make do with mana for the rest of their sustenance. If you have an Alpha I am not seeing, then they would require double that amount of meat. As for what we used them for; well as you might be able to tell, we Giants as a whole are slow moving races with only a Water Giant being somewhat decently fast in the water. The Giant wolves are fast, well at least from our perspective. So they make great patrols, alarms, and just the best partners a giant can ask for."
