Warlord

(Chapter 2: Now That’s What I Call a Finish- Her!)

On the out script of the forest we waited. In front of us was a town similar to the ones in ancient France when it was known as Gaul.

I was scouting the position. The village seem to be quite Big even it looks similar to Gaul.

The Soaring tribe seem to be wearing Black leather armour or none at all. They would constantly rip people or in this case ponies out of their home and drag them to the centre.

Guards positioned on the outskirts of the village patrolled frequently. But I began to notice a pattern and noticed a five minute gap that if done correctly we can get into the village unseen.

“Why am I doing this, this is so idiotic” said my “faithful” partner and soon-to-be servant.

“Have a little faith” I tell her. “If you follow my plan will be able to save your village.”

She grumbles of how she’s following a stallion and that this is so idiotic. And in most situations she may as well be right. But I am here. I can already feel the blood in my veins as I’m preparing for the oncoming fight.

“Come on we have to move fast” I whispered to her.

I allow her to go first so I can cover up the tracks as we go forward. Luckily we made it in time before the patrol look in the area.

Now on the outskirts of the Village we use the houses as cover. We took small little alleyways to not be discovered.

Whenever it came to a big street we waited for patrols to pass by then continued on.

Nearing the centre of the village I decided to get High Ground and tried climbing up one of the small houses.

New Skills Learned: Parkour

With the new skill I could easily climb up this building

Now taking a look at the area I could see where everything is. But what’s funny is that most of the Warriors are female. I don’t mean to be sexist it’s just that back in the day it was only men not the other way.

Is it possible they ended up in a RGRE universe. ‘Out of all the fucking universes, this is the one that I am paired up with!’ I thought angrily.

Mr. Long you must calm down for your mission it is quite important for general do not let his emotions get in the way in the middle of a fight. Agreeing with Sage I began to make a plan.

There seems to be three lookouts on the rooftops. They need to be taken care of first. If they are not taken care of then the civilians that are in the centre, a total of 76, Would be in the middle of the crossfire.

The lookout seem to be equipped with slings. It may not cause much damage but I can still kill a person if done right.

Next the 32 Warriors on the ground. Though most of them are not even wearing armour in those that do you only have a little bit of leather.

Now that I look more clearly most of their weapons are made out of copper not bronze! They must not have discovered tin yet.

Compared to my weapons and armour I could easily take them down.

Now theirs there leader who looks to be an elderly woman. She’s wearing a crown of bones that is probably made out of animals and bat ponies.

“Now that I’m up here it all of them are bat ponies.”

“Hey, Shatter” her attention want onto me. “I have a plan, but I need your help if we are going to save everyone.”

She looks at me with a determined look “I will follow your orders in order to save my people.”

“You see those three lookout.” she looked at the spot that I pointed to. She gave a quick nod and looked back at me. “Take them out we cannot risk I single one while I’m trying to execute my plan.”

She nodded her head and quickly got down the building and started making her way to the first lookout.

About 15 minutes after waiting the last lookout fell. Likely they are so organized or else 15 minutes would’ve been caught in no time. Going to have to change that when I’m ruler.

So now you may be wondering what is my plan to take on 32 Warriors and the leader? Well it’s quite simple… charge in of course!

I jumped down to an unexpected Warrior who happened to be underneath me… make that 33 warriors.

Me falling on her instantly killed her. A few female warrior saw this and charged at me. Their copper swords and stone clubs stood no chance against my… Sage sword?

Would you like to equipped your Halberd sir? Sage said in my head... “umm yes?” I replied.

Instantly the handle of the sword shot out in the blade began to transform. It was like my weapon was a transformer and it started looking more like a halberd.

The Warriors took a step back not expecting my halberd to appear out of nowhere. I swung rapidly into the crowd of Warriors, cutting them down like they were grass in the field.

Noticing that my crowd of fun was disbursing and running away. My blood was pumping in my veins as I never felt like a rush like this before… I think I need a doctor.

Oh well what can you- (pow) I was instantly punched in the face. Sage Armour damaged 0.5%. Recommend stay focus in the to prevent further damage on the Sage Armor. Sage said in my head.

After landing on my ass, I looked up to see who punched me, to only see the old woman. She had a face that screamed ,I am not impressed, and look like to be falling asleep.

“Now, now, sunny, if you make a move like that again I’m gonna have to kill you. Now be a good little boy and come to Mama.” She said.

Sensing the rape vives, I decided to scoot away.

“Now sunny you should’ve listen to your-“ “back off bitch, he’s mine“ Shatter Fang Zoom to the ground and used her halberd to strike at the old woman. And what did she mean by ‘he’s mine!’

They continue to block and perry blows, but I noticed that the old woman was slightly faster and was continuing to get faster. I also noticed that she wheeled a sword that was also made out of iron.

Soon not even Shatter could handle her and her Helbert flew out of her hands.

“That’s enough youngster” said the old woman. “Trying to beat me again even though you failed the last time. I don’t know if I should congratulate you on trying or belittle you for failing... I think I’ll go with belittle. You couldn’t even protect the country that you Love so much. how do you think you could beat me by sending a male at me. I Will admit he had strange weapons and armour but he is no match on a fairground playing field with his superiors. By the gods you know only a warlord can only defeat a warlord. You’re nothing but a foolish warlord that should have never been born.”

Playing a mind game is a dirty tactic but works if done correctly. Looking at Shatters face I can see that it’s getting to her.

“You’re both right and wrong” she said. The old woman and me were confused on why she said that.

“It’s true that I’m not fit to lead. It’s true that I’m not strong enough to protect them all. It’s true that I am a waste of space of a warlord! But everything you said about Oscar is all wrong!” The crowd, and the few warriors that stayed gasped. The old woman looks shocked as she defended me. “He may be a male but he stronger than any of us and he’s not even a Warlord… well not yet“

Shatter Fang turned to face me. Next she took a knee “no what are you doing? the old woman asked. “He is a male, he’s not fit to lead! Even if he was able to take me your Clan would collapse in minutes”

She continued to ignore The old hag as she spoke to me as we made eye contact on the ground. “I Warlord Shatter Fang resign as Warlord of the Fang clan. Mr. Oscar Long do you except my request to entitle the power of Warlord?”

I stood up to my full height and answered “I do“

She continued. I began to notice that the world slowed down a little bit. “Do you promise to protect the people of the Fang clan and to always guide them to greatness?”

“I do” I replied. “Then I pronounce you Warlord of the Fang clan may you long live in your rain”

I saw the power drain from her and I absorbing it.

New Title: Warlord those with this title are bound to greatness or disaster. Armour increased, attack increased, weapons increased, strength increased, agility increased, senses increased. Not many can bear the title of Warlord so hold that title with pride.

New Abilities Learned:

Danger Sense: when ever attacked when not expecting to be attacked, your body will react on its own to save yourself.

Finisher: select an object to be your finisher and with it you are able to kill other Warlords for warlords can only be killed with this ability along with other creatures. Only one object can be selected and as a warning be careful when using it, for it takes a lot of energy to use a Finisher.

Shutter Fang instantly collapsed on the ground unable to take the power leaving her body.

“You fool! Now I’m going to have to rewrite your mistake!” the old hag shouted.

She charged at me with her iron sword. I made a quick leg sweep. while in motion punching her in the chest to send her flying into a nearby building.

As she got out of the wreckage she looked pissed as hell but I did not fear her for I have much more power.

She ran at me and I was ready to use my… Finisher~

“Hey Sage do I still have my chip equipped with me?” Yes came the reply “can I see it?” I asked.

I felt something materialize in my hand looking down on it I saw my grandfather's ‘old golden poker chip’ made with real gold.

(just picture this in the middle)

Seeing it in at all of its glory, I readed for my Finisher.

I placed the chip in between my right middle and index finger, while placing my thumb underneath.

As she got 15 feet in front of me I flipped it up. Everyone including the old hag looked up to see the chip flying through the air.

As it came down it was almost in slow motion as she realized her mistake.

I stretched my right arm with my left hand supporting it. Using my index and ring finger to aim at the shot while my middle and thumb or enough flicking stance.

As the chip slowly flew down I had a perfect view of her for head as I let go of my middle finger.

The force felt more powerful than a gun as my arm was launched back.

The golden chip shot across the sky like a bullet into her for head with such a force that it knocked her off her feet.

She didn’t move for the next two minutes confirming that she was dead. I turn to the crowd and decided to say a joke “now that’s what I call a Finish-Her!”
