Vengeance is a Torch
The End of a Ruler - Part 1
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Oh Fuck Yes!~ You feel much bigger than you look!~"
That noise happens to be me and a bat-pony maiden (Fast Wind) having a long, lusty make-out session which lasted for quite some time, followed by Aqua Night, her daughters and another maiden comming to my room, mounting my carrot and finally connecting below, which only brought out a passionate and sexual session lasting like twenty four hours. We have been doing that without any interruption. While I was busy with this maiden here, who was making out with me on the bed while she wrapped her arms and legs around me; Aqua Night, Shadow Rose, Shadow Star and the other maiden (Dark Fang) moaned, seeing starts and angels, as they felt my seed inject into their wombs.
The reason that this happens is because, Equestria is at war. Remember how I broke the jaw of King Dainn of the Deer Kingdom, that counted as a declaration of war. Nightmare Moon didn't have any problem with other kingdoms, but now King Dainn must be dealt with. And since I was the one who strucked first, I'll lead the charge. From what I remember, is that the Deer Kingdom lies far north-west from Vanhoover. The path between it and Equestria is very mountainous and there is only one road that link both Equestria and Deer Kingdom together. Which is perfect because I have a plan on how to win.
Before I go into that, I still have mare to please who is still thrusting, moving up and down, with the sounds of our bodies slapping against one another. I had my arms around her and gave a little thrusts of my own to help her feel pleasure, while she keeps pleasing me. After a few moments of love making that we embraced each other more closely and thrust harder on each other. We thrusted faster and harder, feeling our climax approaching.
"Yes! Yes! OH FUCKING YEEEES!~” She screamed and her marehood squirted with her juices and her inner walls squeezed my rod, while I shoot my seed right into her womb.
It all felt amazing, warm, and so good. Then we both gently fell down to bed with the other mares, she was still on top of me. After we landed on the bed together, Aqua Night, Shadow Rose, Shadow Star and Dark Fang crawled closer in and we all snuggle next to each other. I was completely covered in naked, warm, sweaty mares; like a blanket. Soon, we all drifted off to sleep with each other, I will definitely be ready for a new war.
-:- One Day After -:-
I came to Nightmare Moon in her throne room, to speak with her about this situation. She was sitting in her throne while another bat-pony in armor stood next to her. She has purple-blue fur and violet mane and tail, with red-pink bat-wings. I came in and walked closer to them and the two of them looked at me. Nightmare gave me a friendly(scheming) smile while the other bat-pony had a serious face.
"You wish to speak to me?" I politely asked.
Nightmare nobbed and was looking at my armor (I held my helmet underneath my arm and my warhammer on my back).
"I see you are ready, with such armor on." She said, I know she was teasing so I play along.
"Do you like it? I won three battles in a single day with it." I explained since it was one of the armors I carried during my war against Faust.
"Well you are going to win a war and make it short. First I want to introduce you to Scarlet Night, general of my newly formed Lunar Legion and younger sister to Aqua Night." Nightmare Moon introduced the mare to me.
"It's a great honour to meet you Sir Arton Ravenheart, I look forward working with you." This bat-pony mare greeted me with good manners. But I can see the she seems a bit uncomfortable.
"Great to meet you too, General Night." I replied with good manners too.
"I hope you are well rested and ready for this mission of yours." Nightmare Moon said, no doubt with a hopeful tone.
"Now before we get into business, I want to make a few details clear. If you want me to kill a king, take over his kingdom, conquer land for you. Well that is going to cost you a mountain of gold, literally. Or at least something of equal value. I can supress banditry and revolts for cheep, I can kill rapists and slavers for free, but I don't go to war without a huge payment. I didn't conquer Equestria for fun, I did it to make Faust leave me alone. And that was worth more than all the treasures in the world." I explained myself. Scarlet Night didn't seem to like how I made myself clear as a mercenary, but Nightmare Moon didn't seem disturbed and still smiled.
"That, is already taken care of, my friend. I have ordered the construction of a big castle for you in the Foal Mountain, in there you can store all your riches and do as you please there. Once it is completed, I shall give you official lordship over the Foal Mountain. You will be given servants, guards and... even maidens to your liking.~" Nightmare said with the last part in a teasing flirt. I can see from here that general Scarlet Night did not like it and held her distaste attitude.
I was quiet there for a moment because I was expecting us having a bit of debate about my reward for killing Dainn. But this mare has already figured out how to bribe me. You bloody vixen, you already figured out how to motivate me. Well, let's see how you respond to my answer.
"Well, then I'll let you know this. With this castle, my fighting days will be over. But my spirit of adventure will not be buried. So for this, I'll bring you Dainn's head, I'll even give you his kingdom for you to do as you see fit, alright?" I playfully said and it seems to amuse Nightmare.
"Excellent, as long as you have your spirit of adventure I'm happy to have you in my kingdom." She replied with a happy smile.
"Now then. General Night, how many soldiers do you have in the Lunar Legion?" I asked the stern mare.
"Over five thousand. They are all well trained and highly disciplined." She answered me.
"Can they all fly? (She Nob) How fast can they get to the mountainous path far north-west from Vanhoover, into the Deer Kingdom territory?" I asked her again.
"From here they can get us there less than four hours." She answered me.
"Perfect (I put my helmet on my head). Let's move now, I have a plan." I said and with that we are on our way into battle.
-:- After 4 Hours Flying -:-
After what Scarlet Night said, four hours of flying we entered the Deer Kingdom close to Equestrian borders. Like I said, the only path to Equestria is straight and simple, with mountains on the sides. This make the road looks more like a ravine. This is perfect, before we departed Nightmare Moon told General Scarlet Night that I will be in command due to my experience in warfare. She does not like it for a second, but she obeyed. When we arrived I told her to send scouts to find the enemy army that would come here to invade Equestria. While they were at it, I instructed Scarlet Night to divide the Lunar Legion into two divisions and place both of them atop the snowy mountains since they all could fly.
This may be irrelevant but I noticed that two thirds of the legion are all females, I wonder if we are having a gender discrimination here or something.
Anyway, I told General Night that my plan is to both harass and terrify the Deer Kingdom army, or should I say Caribou army since we are fighting a king who want male supremacy to the world. The Lunar Legion will use the high mountains, the snow and the darkness of the night to their advantage. The first thing I'm gonna do is to single handedly cause havoc to the enemy army, when that starts sending volleys of arrows and spears from the night sky where the Caribou can't see them. I also told Scarlet Night that while I push forward I want her to reform her legion into line units, the purpose of it is to dive attack through the Caribou army and killing as many as possible before quickly disappearing back to the dark mountains.
"Sir Arton, is this really a good idea?" General Scarlet Night asked, a little doubtful and worried about my plan.
"I'm certain of it. I'm strong enough to cause a lot of damage with a frontal assault, but you and the Lunar Legion can terrorize them from the dark of the night. You will be able to decimate their horde with these quick hit-and-run attacks, take down their supplies or kill their officers. I suspect our enemy army to have superior numbers so all we can do is use the weather, the terrain and our legion's natural adaptation to the night to our advantage." I explains to her.
"I understand completely that we must fight smart. But I think you are a little over your head if you think you can fight them alone in the open." She argued.
"Pfft, who said I'll fight them alone?" I teased her, but she seems confused.
"But you want the entire legion hide in the mountains, you didn't say you would have some of our soldiers fight with you." She pressed her arguments.
"Because I will not have any of our soldiers fight beside me, they do best from hidding and use their speed." I simply said.
"But who will you fight with if not our soldiers?" She still seems confused.
"This enchanted armor I'm wearing has special abilities, and those special abilities includes necromancy." I explained with a bit of pride.
"Necromancy?" She seems surprised.
"As a soldier, you should know the military advantages with necromancy. With the ability to resurrect the fallen almost at a whim, this is a tactic consist almost entirely on the use of attrition warfare. As the undead ranks absorb the enemy attack, their ranks would be continuously bolstered by freshly resurrected warriors from their own and those of the enemies. Eventually, the dead would so outnumber the living that victory is almost inevitably ensured." I explained her my plan.
"I- I see what you mean. But I-" She would try to say something until some of our soldiers came and interrupted us.
"Sir, General. Our scouts has returned with news." The soldiers reported.
"Good, we were waiting for this." I said as she and I came to hear the reports.
The scouts came to us from the sky and landed on their knees.
"Sir, General. We discovered an army of Caribou warrior are comming to this road, we believe they are over fifty thousand soldiers. Not only do they consist with foot soldiers and archers, but we also saw a few unusual beasts that they must have tame and going to use them for war." One of the scouts reported.
"Fifty thousand!?" Scarlet Night said in shock. I just smiled.
"Perfect, if we pull this through and win our chances of ending this war quickly will be ensured!" I said with a happy tone.
"Hey hold on! Now you just sell the skin before you killed the bear! We are barely ready to fight an army with that many soldiers!" General Scarlet Night cried out loud like a tantrum while flailing her arms quick.
"In war, numbers alone has no advantage. Do not advance relying on sheer military power. All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make them believe we are near. Are we clear?" I quoted Sun Tzu from his Art of War philosophy in order to shut her up.
It seems to work because she appears to be lost for words. So before our argument could continue, I turned to the scouts.
"When will our enemies arrive?" I asked them.
"They will be here like two hours." The scout said.
"Gather the legion together here, I shall make an announcement." I ordered the scouts and they nob before they flew to do it.
"What kind of announcement are you going to make?" Scarlet Night asked.
"They must know about our enemies. We have to tell them that we're going up against an army that outnumber us ten to one." I answered her.
She seems unsure about it.
"The soldiers will no doubt be scared, but I know a way to motivate them into courage." I said with outmost confidence.
It took at least twenty five minutes for the Lunar Legion to gather up and be in formation. Then I came atop of a hill with General Scarlet Night next to me. They all look at us, giving us all their attention.
"We summoned you all here to tell you the truth. Our enemies are comming and they are comming here on this very road." I first said, and they all muttered to themselves before I continued.
"The worst part of the news is that.... They are fifty thousand warriors, they are far more than us in numbers!" I called out and they all seems to worried about our enemy's superior numbers. But I raised a hand in the air to silence them and it worked.
"The good news is that they are unaware about our location, our presence in this land which gives us the element of surprise on our side!" I said, although I doubt that it help at all.
"We are talking about an army who wants to make slaves out of every female in the world. That includes your own families too. Your mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and friends, they would have them turned into nothing more than brainless animals that would beg for a lifetime of breeding! We are facing an enemy who knows nothing but lust and greed!" I yelled to get their attention again.
"I understand that you all are afraid of fighting a huge army. But can you live your lives out knowing that everyone you cared about will live in a future of eternal suffering and did nothing!? Would you not prefer die fighting for those who means the world for you than to allow these monsters to violate them forever!? Because I would rather fight." I said with more sterness in my voice before I continued.
"You all have something to fight for. Something to live for. And now we come to this most distant place in the Deer Kingdom, where across from us, Dainn has send a vast army to invade your home and take all that you hold dear!" I said pointing at where the army would come.
"Sure King Dainn has so many followers. But look again at the Caribou horde and ask yourselves. Who is this king who tells his own subjects to preform rape and slavery against those of opposite gender, even your own kin!? In a most despicable and cowardly manner?" I said with a little anger in my voice, and it seems that the Lunar Legion shares my anger.
"Who is this king, Dainn, who enslaves his own men to fight? Who is this king but a king of air? These men do not fight for their homes. They fight because this king tells them they must. And when they fight, they will melt away like the air. Because they know no loyalty to a king of slaves. But we are not here today as slaves. We are here today as free citizents of Equestria!!!" I yelled out loud, earning a great cheering from them.
"And though outnumbered, I say to you who know the price of tyranny. A price way to high to even live with. You all have a strength born of your hearts and all their arms, their numbers and all their warbeasts will mean nothing in the hands of slaves. Some of you, maybe even myself, will not live to see the next comming moon over these mountains today. For I will be in the very thick of battle with you. But remember this: The greatest honor that anyone could ever achieve is to live with great courage and to die with his kins, in battle for his home." I said and that earned me another great cheering.
"Let me tell you all this, what every warrior have known since the beginning of time. Conquer your fear and I swear to you all, you will conquer death itself!" I cried out loud and the Lunar Legion cheered for me again.
"The Caribou have the numbers. But there are alot of things they don't have. The knowledge of our existence, the mountain, the snow and more importantly, THE NIGHT! We command the the Night itself. And all of it wonders... and horrors! This night is yours and yours alone, and by their blood you will become heroes for all eternity!" I yelled out loud and they all cheered for me even louder, I then stretch my arms out and look at the night sky.
"As we fight them. In a battle for one chance, just one chance, to meet our enemies and prove them all that they may take our lives... but they'll never take our freedom!" I yelled out as loud as I cound and they all cheered and roared much louder than the last times. I could see so much pride, anger and confidence in their eyes that I know we can win.
I backed away a little before I turned around the walk, allowing the officers and the general to take charge. But before I could walk away futher I felt a hand on my right shoulder. I turned to look and I saw that it was Scarlet Night who held me.
"Well spoken Sir Arton. I now believe we can defeat this horde." She said and this time she look at me with a genuine smile.
"Let's prepare, General Night. It's time to prove the world just what we're made of." I said. She nob and take over for me while I will prepare to do my part.
