Chapter 350: 350

We advance south on the road in a long queue .

Its been a while .

How long has it been since we fought side-by-side?

Myla and I converse on horseback .

She didnt come along to the Federation so it really has been too long since we fought together .

The fight with Zillovely doesnt count as a war after all .

It took only a day to get here from the Libatis border it feels like everything Ive learned until now is outdated .

Myla looks down .

Dont worry about it . I always go on the offensive during wars, so its natural for a defense expert like you to do things differently .

We set out to provide reinforcements for Libatis after receiving orders from the king .

An army of 15 000 had been arranged and was garrisoned in Trisnia .

My own personal army would be added to that .

Erich seems to have readily accepted the burden of supply which accompanies such a mission .

Sorry for the half-hearted numbers . I understand sortieing with a small force is foolish, but these were His Majestys orders I will work hard after their departure to make him reconsider . For now, do your best with what you have .

He even apologized .

I wonder if the king has something in mind . Well, Ill leave those kinds of concerns to Leopolt .

Now then, please confirm the total numbers in your army again .

Goldonia Royal Army Seventh Division Army Corps: Over 15 000 men

Infantry: 11, 000

Archers: 2000

Cavalry: 2000

Hardlett Army: Over 4000 men

Bow Cavalry: 4000

Escort: 200

Chariots: 80

About 20 000? Sounds about right .

I put that together! Myla-san stole it from me!

No need to stress the fine points on the battlefield .

Celia is making a fuss from behind .

Actually, glimpses of her face have been popping up beside us for some time now .

This isnt all of the army though .

The only ones here are the cavalry, bow cavalry, escort and chariots in other words, just the troops using horses .

We headed south after convening in Trisnia, however only the fast-moving cavalry went on ahead .

Weve done this countless times before .

According to Leopolt, its apparently inefficient for the infantry and cavalry to march together, excluding siege situations .

The biggest weapon cavalry have is not their offensive power, its their mobility . Eliminating that can be nothing other than foolish .

Pfft .

When I imitate that guys expressionless face and tone, Myla bursts out laughing .

Seeing how well it was received, I do more impressions .

Although my face looks like this, Im actually a big pervert on the inside . The rumor of me liking men is not entirely baseless .

S-stop it please .

It was worth practicing in the mirror .

What should I do next?

Lord Hardlett, the number three scout is not returning . I propose getting light cavalry to do a forced reconnaissance .

Uu, uuh, yeah sure .

Leopolt came up from behind before I realized .

Its not anything he said, its just really awkward .

Myla also stops laughing and looks in another direction .

If we continue down south, well encounter the enemy in no time . Please use your time effectively

got it .

Schwartz is moving strangely hes totally laughing, isnt he .

If you dont stop, Ill throw a caterpillar inside your ear .

The next thing I know, Myla is off inspecting the soldiers .

She must also feel awkward to be by Leopolt .

Its been such a long time that weve had a real battle so I brought almost all the military personnel I have .

The only one left behind is Tristan .

Myla has some influence over the royal army with her baron title so I let her look after them .

Luna looks after the bow cavalry exclusively while Celia manages the escort unit . Irijina is allowed to rampage as she wishes in the raid unit .

Finally, Leopolt oversees the entire operation, making this a perfect and efficient composition .

Wait, something is missing .

Uuu, Aegir-sama .

Why is Celia making such a sad face?

Why not try following Irijinas example and taking it easy?

Wahaha, Ive been longing for battle! And with this many brave soldiers, theres no way well lose!!

Yeah .

More reinforcements will soon follow! Theres nothing to worry about!

It would be nice if Erich did his best .

The South Yuguria army is nothing to be scared of!!

Celia, make Irijina be quiet .

Mogh! This fight, mgghogh! Is practically won!!

Afterwards, I dispatched a reconnaissance unit as Leopolt advised and they discovered the South Yuguria army surrounding a certain fort on the west side of Tortoent .

I was a little surprised when I received that information .

So theyre all the way here? I thought they would be further south .

I checked the location of the fort and realize its actually really close to the capital of Libatis, Tortoent .

So theyre attacking this far in?

I remember hearing how strong the Libatis army was though .

Libatis does not have much in terms of geographical advantage so the enemy is able to enter deep in their territory from a surprise attack . With that said, an invasion reaching this point is on the bad side of my predictions .

Leopolt looks a little more stern no, maybe its the same .

In any case, we should do something as reinforcements . Its convenient for us that they are in an encirclement . We can charge in from their flanks .

Myla nods and Leopolt doesnt say anything .

I guess his silence means that hes fine with what I said .

The royal army marching in columns and the bow cavalry separate before picking up the pace .

Me and the escort unit, along with the chariots, follow them a slight distance behind .

Enemy flag sighted! As reported, they are surrounding the Libatis fort, but it doesnt look like theyre attacking . What I can confirm is that they have roughly 6000 cavalry and carriages!

Gido stands up on his horse and shouts .

So we have about the same numbers .

They likely rushed here in the same formation as us . If thats the case, theyre probably aiming to cut off the Libatis supply line instead of conducting a proper siege .

From what I can see, the Libatis fort appears sturdy with it being on a small hill, although its size isnt the biggest .

I dont think it holds a large stockpile of supplies .

We wont hide . Lets charge at them head-on .

I cant do any tricks and theres no need to .

The bow cavalry fires arrows into the air as they run forward .

Red flames light up the sky .

Thats the signal to begin attacking .

Attack!

Charge!

War cries and the thumping sound of horses galloping at full speed resound while the Goldonian flag, as well as my intentionally all-black flag gets raised .

We charge straight down from the north .

A group of cavalry travelling on the plains wont go unnoticed by the enemy .

Reinforcements!? Not from Tortoent, but the north!?

Goldonia!? We received information of their departure from Trisnia not long ago!

Hey, dont panic! Were cavalry like them . Dont take their attacks, attack back!

The South Yuguria army showed the slightest apprehension before quickly recomposing themselves and switching from an encirclement to a field battle formation .

That was a response beyond what we imagined .

Reinforcements from the north . I see the Goldonia flag!

Ooh, were saved .

The flag on the Libatis fort is waved vigorously .

If you carelessly send forces out and it becomes chaotic, things will be problematic, so please just wait patiently .

The first to approach the enemy is the bow cavalry from the left wing .

Under Lunas command, they split into smaller groups and form a wide triangle .

On the other side, the enemy is in two large triangles .

There is a rather large gap in between .

We can easily breakthrough the middle ah, the enemies on the side arent wielding spears! They have crossbows!

Celia realizes the enemys intentions .

I see, they positioned cavalry with crossbows to the side when they saw us take a formation that wants to run through the middle .

They want to use them to attack from or flanks and insert them where we are disordered .

Bow cavalry, continue charging towards the middle .

Thats fine .

Neither I nor Leopolt retract our orders .

Its impossible to do so even if we knew the enemys aim .

Loose!

Out of the two rapidly approaching groups, the bow cavalry were the ones to fire first .

Countless arrows rain down from the multiple squads .

That was the reason for dividing the bow cavalry into smaller units .

Soldiers in the rear of a single large formation could not see the enemy and take aim .

Spreading out like this allows all troops to participate in battle .

Guwah, at this distance and archers on horseback!?

While galloping at full speed too!

Such forces were not in gyaaah!

The enemy formation suddenly falls apart from the accurate barrage .

Maintaining speed, the bow cavalry loose another volley right before collision .

Their speed is impressive as usual .

Yes . It isnt something you can learn with a little bit of training .

Sufficiently trained archers still cant match their speed .

The bow cavalry are hitting the enemy with pinpoint precision and doing so on horses racing at top speeds .

Enemy cavalry fall over amusingly like toys .

Mounted troops are large in size as it is and make for perfect targets .

The enemy waiting with crossbows can do nothing except crumble when the bow cavalry are pelting them with composite bows outside their range .

All troops, take up your sword! Charge!

At Lunas command, the bow cavalry stow away their bows and draw their swords .

They can quickly change into skilled light cavalry for a fight at close quarters .

Theyre clashing!

Theyre clashing, but not exactly clashing .

The lightly armored bow cavalry are not directly engaging the enemy, theyre running past and cutting down the enemy as they go .

The enemy spear cavalry intersect with the sword-wielding bow cavalry .

Piercing metal sounds and neighing, as well as screaming, soon follow .

Normally, spears would be the stronger of the two .

With how messed up their formation is, they cant leverage their longer reach . The difficulty of manipulating weapons with that length is actually more outstanding .

As Celia described, the enemy cavalry wanted to finish off the bow cavalry with a collective thrust, however each individual bow cavalry have more flexibility to change direction, making it hard for the enemy to deal with .

Spear cavalry usually want to line up in a horizontal formation, but with allies to the right and left either late or unable to get in position, many of them end up isolated .

They quickly get finished off by the bow cavalry .

That was when a rather peculiar scene could be seen .

What is that?

Thats no, it cant be .

A strange rider near Luna is sweeping away any enemies aiming for the commander .

The strange part is the rider is not doing the sweeping, its the horse or rather, the lizard .

Pochi, standing up and using your arms is against the rules . Ooh, youre also using your tail .

Their concentrated attacks dont seem to be effective . The spears are all breaking .

When surrounded, Pochi would spread its wings and roar, causing the horses to run away .

Pochi looks to be about 5 meters when standing up and its roar is loud enough that I can feel the vibrations in my stomach from all the way over here .

Lets look at the big picture now .

The bow cavalry have successfully broken through the center! And the crossbows cant get a good shot!

The cavalry with crossbows were being targeted heavily so their formation was in the most disorder and they could not utilize the opportunity to shoot from the flanks .

Sporadic bolts would fly, although that is far from enough to stop the bow cavalry .

Switch to bows, and loose!

After running past the enemy, the bow cavalry take out their bows again and fire while facing backwards on their horses .

Arrows poured down on the heads of the enemy from the opposite direction and I can see how badly disorganized their ranks are from where I am .

That should eliminate the left wings fighting strength .

Subsequently, the royal army cavalry led by Myla charge from the right wing .

Cavalry equipped with spears make up both of our main forces with a few heavy cavalry leading the charge .

We are the royal army . We cant fall behind another lords personal army!

A fight between cavalry is the flower of battle, let us proudly decorate this field .

I sense a burning spirit within the commanders of the royal army .

We wont allow ourselves to be defeated here!

They dont have any unusual soldiers! Meet them head-on and crush them!

The enemy on the right wing isnt scared, instead their fighting spirit increases .

Compared to the acute triangle formation of our allies, the enemy is in a wide triangle almost nearing a horizontal line .

Theyre colliding!

This time theyre colliding for real .

Both sides charge in with spears and swords .

Crumpling metal and booming thuds from weapons making contact echoed incomparably louder than when the bow cavalry charged in earlier .

Gyaaaah!

Uooooh!

I can hear the thunderous sounds of spears punching holes in shields, helmets being squashed, armored horses bumping into other armored horses adding to that is a terrifying chorus of deathroes .

The battle is swinging back and forth!

Celia shouts grimly .

Both sides suffer similar losses and experience the same amount of disorder .

Since they collided head-on, their momentum gets stopped almost immediately and both sides are left to fight on horseback .

It isnt easy to deal significant damage as either side possesses durable shields and armor .

Perhaps its my turn .

I draw my longsword .

No, its unnecessary .

Leopolt promptly raises his hand .

That acts as the signal for the carriages slightly to the rear of the battlefield the chariots, to launch their pre-loaded ballistae .

Hey, what am I going to do with my sword then?

Guwah, what the-?

Ballisate? Impossible, when did they have time to gyaaah!

It wasnt hard to see how much the 80 chariots rattled the enemy .

The large bolts tore through their shields and armor like paper .

With such tremendous power, bolts easily took heads off bodies and impaled both horse and rider together . It was an effective tool to pressure the enemy both physically and psychologically .

The chariots boasted long range as well, so it wasnt something the enemies could stop while engaging our allies .

Even if they got close, the chariots had blades attached to the wheels and soldiers holding crossbows riding on it .

Slowly, but surely, the tides of battle tilt in our favor .

The cavalry which moved back to the rear are getting ready to charge again .

Thats a fine plan .

Allied cavalry gather where Celia and Leopolt point to .

Myla had gradually extracted some forces from the front line melee and formed a new group .

That squad organized itself in the rear and charged towards the chaos .

Despite the small number of soldiers who have stopped moving, they cannot stop horses with enough momentum built up .

R-retreat! Fall back for now and reorganize . .

Those who cant return to formation, disperse!

The enemys right wing eventually collapses as well .

As a whole, the enemy shifts to the south of the fort, which completely undoes the encirclement .

I think now the soldiers will come out from the fort shall we wait?

No, well end it now .

Leopolt points at a certain spot in the enemy camp .

Located there, in the middle of the fleeing enemies, is a squad supporting both wings .

That is the enemy headquarters . If you destroy them, they will completely unravel . This is where Lord Hardlett should go .

I see .

Now I unsheathe my longsword and toss away the scabbard .

Follow me .

I kick Schwartz to urge him forward .

Aegir-sama is moving out! Dont fall behind!

Celia yells and gets the escort unit to accompany me .

Were using the familiar triangle arraywhich is named as such by how sharp the shape of the formation is, and Im at the very front .

200 heavy cavalry charging straight at the headquarters!

We wont let them do as they want, intercept them!

Heavy cavalry rush out from enemy headquarters to greet us .

Theyre aiming for me .

My first five opponents are wrapped in thick armor and equipped with standard spears and shields .

How foolish of you to charge like this!

Five spearheads point at me .

The cavalry are lined up in a neat row .

Schwartz doesnt decelerate in the face of those weapons .

Well, I would have put a caterpillar in his ear if he chickened out .

Lets go .

I jump right in the middle of the five units with my longsword raised .

Their spears close in from both sides .

Hmph!

My right hand brings down my sword .

It cuts through two of the spears thrust at me and also splits one of the riders in half .

This side too .

My shield takes care of the two spears coming from the left .

Both spearheads snap off after crashing into my shield and the broken pieces fly back at the soldiers who thrust them .

Uwah!

Their reactions were fast enough to block the shrapnel with their shields, but it didnt make any difference for me .

When my dragon scale shield, which weighs about the same as an average human, slams into them, they get sent flying like scarecrows made of straw .

Those two get knocked into the other cavalry approaching from the left and all of them wipe out magnificently .

Wahahahaha!! Skewering time!!

Gyaaaah!

One of the riders who lost his spear was taken out by Irijina from behind .

She really seems to be having fun .

That just leaves the enemy in front .

My hands are full . Do something about the last one .

With a displeased neigh, Schwartz fixes his eyes on the enemy and maintains his route .

He doesnt take his eyes off the spear thrust at him and then takes the attack on his forehead .

Since were on the battlefield, Schwartz is wearing his armor and the part covering his forehead is the thickest part .

Other horses would look away and get poked in the eye or neck . This guy has courage if nothing else .

Ill put some of Nonnas expensive perfume on his ear when we get back .

What the-!?

Seeing the spear bend on contact surprised the enemy soldier .

Schwartz follows up by veering off to the side slightly, pulling his body back and then tackling the enemy horse .

The opposing horse lets out a high-pitched neigh and tumbles to the ground .

As for the rider hes unfortunately under the poor horse .

Hes a squashed frog for sure .

This is no time to be distracted .

More enemies come at me .

I adjust my longsword and spear, then shout .

Those who want to die, bring it on .

What bullshit are you spouting, foolhardy warrior!

I deflect the spear of the heavy cavalry who rushed at me upward and then slice the man in half horizontally from the chest .

A sole cavalry underestimating us!

I pierce the chest of the light cavalry who brandished his sword, then toss him up in the air .

So youre a famed knight? Let me add you to my collection of achievements!

The knight hides his body behind the shield while holding his spear out .

I generate more power in my next sword swing, separating the horses neck and the mans upper body all at once .

HIiih!

I smash the following mans head along with his helmet using my shield as he charges while screaming for some reason .

That reminds me, Mylas often been telling me, Lord Hardlett is using a shield wrong . and Its not a blunt weapon . , although I think thats what makes it so handy .

Are there any more?

I take a look at my surroundings .

With perfect timing, the light cavalry I threw up earlier falls back down and hit the ground with a splat .

Uu

Whats with this guy

I see nobody else wants to try me .

Now then, the enemy commander should be here in the headquarters .

The battle will be over once I take him out

Argh, you cowards . Get out of my way!

When I turned around, a knight steps forward .

He looks to be as tall as Mack and I can feel a scruffy aura through his armor .

For some reason, there are lots of metal spikes on his armor .

The horse the man is riding is large and also wearing armor with spikes .

So youre next?

Next and last opponent youll ever face!

The man points the weapon he shouldered at me .

Its a morning star and also huge this guy really likes his spikes .

Ooh! Its Gorilan, the knight!

No one can stand against the spiked warrior, Gorilan!

That guy called Gorilan poses proudly when the other soldiers cheer for him .

Before I knew it, the escort squad has caught up and is making a ring around us like the other enemy soldiers .

Theyre practically forcing us to fight .

Whatever, lets get this over with .

If I take too long, the enemy commander might escape .

No matter how I look at him, this guy is all brawn and no brain, not fit to be a commander at all .

Did you say something, Leopolt?

Aegir-sama, Leopolt-san isnt here!

Was it just my imagination?

Enough small talk . Here I go!

Gorilan begins his attack .

Hnngooh!

He launches the iron ball with an unpleasant grunt which I block with my shield .

I was hoping it would bounce back and end the battle .

Mu

My shield was pushed back instead .

Hes stronger than I expected .

Hmphmph! Hmp hmp hmp!

Feeling pleased after seeing me falter, he unleashes a consecutive assault, letting out more disgusting grunts with every attack .

Dont get cocky .

I time his fourth strike with an upward motion of my shield .

Guoh!

I deflect his morning star and Gorilan staggers .

Now its my turn .

Hup .

I swing my longsword down from above .

Thats nothing!

He brings back his morning star and blocks my attack .

The handle attached to the large lump of iron is made of thick steel so I cant easily cut it in half .

Tch .

I immediately follow up with a horizontal sweep to his torso .

Not good enough!

He blocks with the spiked orb .

I cant smash the steel ball .

Muhaha! Is that all youve got!?

Blood rises to my head when he provokes me with his scruffy voice .

hup .

Mugh .

When I aim at his face, he reacts in time to defend, although the point of my sword takes out a chunk of the armor covering his face .

Blood trickles out from the tip of his nose .

His face is scruffy and ugly like I thought .

Lets end this with the next attack .

I drop my shield so I can wield my sword with both hands .

My full powered swing aims to cut him and his iron ball in half .

To my surprise, his horse suddenly runs at me .

Schwartz was bracing for my attack and couldnt defend himself .

Normally, Schwartz would not budge from a little push, even if the other horse was big .

However the spikes on the armor of this guys horse stabbed into his belly .

It was slight, but Schwartz lost his balance .

My swing could not be made at a worse timing as the force of my attack amplified what was only a small stumble by Schwartz .

Cheers and shouts come from the onlookers .

Ooh, the horse gets the credit!

Gorihorse is a well-known horse too .

Schwartz, what are you doing!?

He didnt let the opening slip away .

I was forced to defend in an unstable position .

Even so, I was able to block his morning star with the base of my sword, or so I thought

Guh!

Although I received the impact, one of the spikes hits my left hand .

My excellent armor prevented it from penetrating, but my hand became dumb for a split second and I let go of my sword .

The poor position I defended myself in ruined my chances of a clean battle .

The enemy soldiers cheer and Gorilan roars as he pounds his chest .

I heard Celia scream through all of the noise .

Uhohoho! This will be the finishing blow!!

Gorilan pulls his morning star behind his back .

The moment he swings his iron ball down, my right fist sinks into his face .

I certainly felt the impact and that was enough to stop Gorilan .

A-a punch!?

What power Gorilan was shaken with a single punch .

There isnt anyone who can match Aegir-sama in raw strength!

Bufh

Gorilan staggers while blood drips from his nose .

His sturdiness is impressive because I was trying to cave his face in with that punch .

If he carried out his attack through my punch or if I hadnt carved out the face portion of his armor, I would have been in a bit of trouble .

I let too much blood rush to my head .

I was about to pull out the Dual Crater at my hip, but Schwartz moves before I could do so .

He also seems to be pretty pissed from that attack he took earlier .

After letting out a furious neigh, Schwartz rams his body into Gorilans horse .

This time he was prepared to get stabbed by the spikes and didnt falter .

Gorilans rocking back and forth up top throws his horse off balance .

Hey, hey .

Schwartz doesnt stop his attacks there .

He finds a gap in the other horses armor and bites down .

The unexpected pain makes the horse step back .

Next, he raises up on his hind legs and launches a front kick with his forelegs .

Schwartz delivers the final blow after seeing the other horse unable to withstand his relentless assault .

He puts his entire weight into his kick and breaks the other horses forelegs .

There was a dry cracking like the sound of a twig snapping, and then a pained neigh .

Oooh!

The crowd groans as Gorilan and his horse falls to the ground .

Uggh it isnt over yet

That guy hasnt let go of his morning star yet .

Oh, thats good .

I would have been left with an unsatisfying feeling if he admitted defeat from that .

I jump off Schwartz and unleash a kick of my own .

Soon after, my fists come flying at his face from the right and left to knock him on his back .

Guaaah!

Its over .

When he tries to lift up his head, another kick lands a perfect hit on his face .

Blood squirts on impact from his nose breaking and he lays motionless on the ground .

I didnt crush his skull so he probably isnt dead, however the outcome of the battle has been decided .

More importantly, were still in the middle of a war so I dont have any more time to bother with him .

Once the fight was settled, the escort squad resumes their engagement with the enemy .

Were going to find the commander .

I climb back on Schwartz .

Hold on a little longer . Itll be over soon .

I look around as Schwartz is trying to keep a calm face, his ears seem to move unnaturally .

If this is a category of an independent cavalry unit then the headquarters should be to the rear of the right wing of the stronghold, around there .

One of the escorts make a suggestion .

Ooh, now that I look, the fancily-dressed cavalry I saw in South Yuguria are lined up there .

That must be it .

The heavy cavalry protecting the headquarters had to come intercept us . They should be close to unprotected now .

If so, we must hurry . Come on .

This guy knows a lot about the enemy .

He sounds really sarcastic though .

Dont tell me the soldiers think Leopolt is the commander .

Celia and I, as well as a few escorts rush toward the place thought to be headquarters .

Those fancily-dressed soldiers panic . It was just as I was advised, and their escorts seem to be all gone .

Hey .

I give a little greeting before decapitating one of them, making the rest of the enemies stare dumbfoundedly .

Theyve reached the headquarters!

Eei, the 200 men of the fourth company couldnt stop them!?

They make a fuss as they draw their swords, however I can tell from their equipment that they probably didnt expect to have to fight .

I guess that goes without saying for people in headquarters .

Guwah!Gueh!

Celia and I cut down the headquarters personnel like vegetables .

How fortunate . Truly .

The escort who gave me advice came along too .

He took another sword from the enemy and is wielding it along with his own .

Was such a guy always in the escort squad?

His fighting style seems familiar .

All the personnel have either been killed or ran away, leaving one person behind .

So are you the commander?

Indeed I am South Yuguria Empire Eighth Army Corps Commander, Menkaura .

The man draws his sword .

I draw my Dual Crater in response .

Celia and the others read the atmosphere and stay back .

Here I come .

The man charges forward with a short shout .

I step sideways to avoid his attack and then chop his head off with one swing .

His head bounces twice on the ground and then the headless body slowly collapses as well .

The commander is dead . We win .

Aegir-sama has taken out the supreme commander! Let it be known!

The escort unit cry out in victory at Celias prompt, followed by the bow cavalry and the royal army .

Our shouts also inform the enemy of what happened .

Both wings are scattering in retreat during the chaos .

Pursue them and thoroughly el

Thats probably not a good idea .

Celias mouth gets covered by that same escort .

6000 is too little . There is likely another independent army nearby . If we get overconfident and chase too far, well be the ones who get flanked .

I see, so its better if we join up with the Libatis army in the fort and let our soldiers rest .

Schwartzs movements are getting somewhat worse too .

Leopolt seems to have the same idea and the royal army is slowly meeting back up with my personal army .

whats the meaning of this, acting like youre so important .

Celia confronts the escort squad member .

So he was actually a she .

You, do you really not know?

Hey now, dont get into a fight . More importantly

I gently rub the womans shoulder .

You fight well . You will be rewarded later, but

When my hand moves to her ass, I dont encounter any resistance .

Dont you get fired up after battle? If you dont mind, how about spending a night with me?

The moment my hand slips into her armor, her helmet gets removed .

You pervert .

Ah!?

Sekrit, its you .

No wonder that fighting looked familiar .

That Myla woman stopped me . Thats why I followed you disguised as a part of the escort unit .

it looks like stricter control is required .

Celias shoulders drop .

Still, it should have been hard for her to sneak in without the proper armor .

I approached one of them and used a hole .

Wait, what!?

I shout loudly in surprise .

She seduced a man with her body just so she could follow me I appreciate the sentiment, but I cant help feeling jealous when someone else gets to put their dick in Sekrit .

Dont get the wrong idea . I didnt use my own .

What?

I dont get it .

I shoved a few things in his ass, thats it . It didnt take long for him to become my loyal dog . Kukuku, I didnt think such a thick vase would fit though .

I dont know who it is, but Ill reprimand him when I get back .

The gates of the fort open and Libatis soldiers can be seen coming out cheering .

its convenient for us that they stayed there until everything was over .

Celia looks troubled .

Their mission was to protect the fort . Its good that they arent stupid enough to rush out recklessly .

I put Celia on my shoulders and head to the fort .

For that, we can enjoy our share of the forts food and drinks tonight .

We have to get the infantry in the rearguard to join up too .

Resting in the fort is much safer than out in the field .

In any case, this is our first win and a good sign of things to come .

Night . Forts Stable .

Your belly got gouged a little . If I put some ointment on it and you rest, itll heal in no time .

I slap Schwartzs ass .

He snorts back at me .

Man, youre not cute at all . Here, have an apple .

I toss the fruit into his mouth .

Schwartz munches on it without looking my way .

It was covered in honey so my hand is sticky .

checking on your horse? How nice of you .

Its Sekrit .

It would be troublesome if I lost his legs .

I throw him another apple .

It made a bump sound when it hits his head and then I hear the noisy crunches as he eats .

I see .

Sekrit takes a bite of an apple before tossing it to Schwartz .

The speed at which he eats that one is clearly faster .

So he prefers her half-eaten one over the ones I prepared? What an ungrateful and perverted horse .

Give me a reward too .

Sekrit pulls down my pants .

Hey, all of a sudden?

Youre saying that when youre this hard already?

I cant help it .

It always gets hard after battle and itll stick out of my pants if Im not careful .

You damn sex beast .

Sekrit opens her mouth and swallows my rod .

Hey, its dirty .

I havent bathed yet .

There was a well in the fort, which the soldiers fought over to drink from .

Im not mean enough to casually jump in there while theyre doing so .

Yeah, its pretty filthy stinks too . I guess thats natural if you didnt wash it for days .

Sekrit licks from the head of my dick to the base, all the while badmouthing me .

Shes using her tongue to thoroughly clean me .

That thoughtfulness makes me even bigger and harder .

At this size, I have to cum at least once before I can fit it in my pants again .

There, its cleaned up .

Sekrit looks up at me when shes finished and then puts her hands on the wall of the stable .

I dont say anything and grab her waist .

Jiii .

That was when I felt somebody staring . When I turned around, Myla and Celia were peeking around the corner .

Tch .

Sekrit clicks her tongue .

I wont let you be the only one who does it .

Were going to join too .

Is this the development where the four of us does it together?

Fufufu, Im sure hearing us have sex all night long will help Schwartz heal faster .

Were a little sweaty too

At least the most important parts have been wiped clean

The two of them swiftly strip .

Its okay to be a little sweaty, it gets me going .

Wait! Im joining in too!

Irijinas here too .

I havent bathed yet, but please make love to me too!

Irijina throws her clothes off and then a whole bunch of smells mixed with sweat waft into the air .

Uwah! You really stink!

You didnt wash at all since you left from Trisnia, did you!?

tch .

Irijina always had a strong body odor to begin with .

Adding on to the fact she hasnt let loose in a real battle in so long, she ran extra hard this time .

Its all fine, once I fuck all of you so much and get all of you drenched and sticky, you wont be able to tell .

That night, we had an intense session in the stables .

I dont know if it because of the smell or being in an enhanced state of arousal after an invigorating battle, but it was rougher than usual .

By the way, the perverted horse was in a bad mood the next day .

I made sure to have him in mind when I did it, how ungrateful can he get .
