The New Zebrican Empire
Chapter 10 - Aiding the minotaurs
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChris' POV
After a week I final recreated the Chinese flamethrower now all that's left to do is to test it, and teach my troops how to work. So I got to the training grounds to demonstrate it they looked both afraid, and curious at the same time. I then ordered my smites to fire the weapon at the bale of hay shaped like a target, it shot out flames really big, and 40 feet away from where the smites are stand, this surprised them a lot.
"You see that everyone?" I yelled making sure they understood the what I showed them. "This new weapon will give us the edge in our fight against the caribou, plus with the aid of the griffons that are planning to meet us at bold brass, will support us not only with troops, but with huge supplies of oil to fuel our flamethrowers!" They had excited looks on their faces.
"Yes, great plan our king! We will certainly stop the caribou in their tracks with this glorious idea of yours!" one of my guards spoke out.
"I support the idea as well, anything to stop those raping bastards." now this time Wheat spoke out alongside her daughter puzzle.
"I also, me and my tribe, and my father agree with your ideal my king." Mango said out loud along with her father beside her smiling at both of us. This is going great now the only problem now is, how am I going to get there on time in case the caribou have other plans. Just as I was being praised by others, suddenly a large flash of white light appeared out of no where, and in front of me no less. And out of the light came a large alicorn like creature with a white dress, and had white fur with golden jewelry on her. It was princess celestia herself here in my kingdom, she turned to me with a smile on her face, as she gave me a crystal in my hand.
"Use it my human, it will help you get to bold brass quickly, and I sent my best elite guards in the capital as well. Good luck my human friend, and by my mother's name be with you all." she said as she then poofed away leaving me the crystal she gave me as I got a good look at it. 'Ok' I thought to myself this could be the answer I was looking for, I turned to face my troops, and this time everything just came together.
"Alright troops! Change of plans, thanks to the help of our new ally, she gave me what I believed is a teleportation crystal, which should help us get to the minotaur's capital much faster. And were going there today no slacking! Captain give the order!" I said turning to my captain as he understood. "You heard him everyone get going! Move it! Move it! Move it!" he yelled making our troops scattered to arm themselves, and getting our flamethrowers up and ready to move within the hour, same for the mercenaries too. I on the hand tried to see how to get it working, I examine it, then I threw it on the ground, and it somehow worked. I spread wide open, big enough to fight a large dragon through it, now I know how it works, and hopefully celestia could give me more of those crystals in the near future.
We headed through the portal and into bold brass, I expected stone structures, but what I saw surprised me a bit. Turns out the walls were metal with spikes to prevent climbing over walls, there were minotaur soldiers armed with long spears on the walls with archers. And they had heavy armor on just like Iron Hoof, and speak of the devil he was right in front of me with a cow lady next to him.
"Greetings King Chris were expecting you." Iron hoof said while offering his hand, so I reached out to shake with his. "I was coming to help you know." I said looking at the area, which looked really big for a capital for minotaurs.
"Hello our king!" said a voice as I turned to see it was Ashy and Zashy were here in bold brass too. "How did you get here from zebraic?"
"Celestia herself came to me, and given me a crystal that allowed us to travel all the way here." I said showing them the rest of the army I brought over, including my new flamethrowers. Ashy turns to me with curious look on her face.
"What are those things your majesty?"
"They are my new flamethrower weapons with only one purpose, to burn our enemies, and help defend the capital. I also will be defending with the help of both the equestrians, and the griffons."
Just moments after speaking to ashy I heard a loud war horn sound outside the walls, I ran up there to see if it was the caribou, but it wasn't it was both the equestrians, and the griffons out front the walls. One of the leaders of the 2 armies came out to state their business. The leader of the equestrian army was a unicorn stallion with a white mane, with golden armor, and has light blue fur armed with a short sword. And the leader of the griffon army was a female with a blood red royal robe, with red blood at the edge of her feathers, and had black fur on her body armed with a long sword in her talons.
"My name is Captain Rally Call soldier of celestia's royal guard here to assist King Iron Hoof, and King Chris the first!" The unicorn yelled. "I bring 5,000 of my soldiers to aid you in the oncoming battle may we work together for harmony!"
"My name is Princess Glider, only daughter of King Razorbeak, I bring 3,550 of my finest troops to aid as well. May the spirits of our ancestors guide you all for peace, and may our enemies fear our might!" she said as she rose her long sword up making both armies cry out with pride. I got to talk to her father about this. After that we spent time preparing our defenses up, I ordered our my troops to set the flamethrowers on the edge of the walls in case the caribou tried to climb over it. I had a talk with princess glider, and she was quite a talker, we talked for hours she even gave me her father's royal dagger for a present. Just then the cow lady from before came in to speak with me as well, and she also gave me a iron sword which looked stronger than my sword.
"Use it well my king, and I forgot to introduce myself I am flora daughter of King iron hoof." she said bowing before me before leaving me there to think of the up coming battle. I admit this is like my king of environment, plain skies, stone like buildings, and metal I could use to make steel of my very own which could be my next needs to order from iron hoof. So I went to the twin gazelles to speak with them. "Hello you two, do you have any information I could use for the upcoming battle?" I asked them.
"No, we have not my king, there is no telling how many of those elks are going to be." zashy said while polishing her knives looking at me.
"Oh, uh, ok I also thought about your request from last time, and I decided to accept you both to join my harem as well." This caused both gazelles to jump up and rushed to hug me. "Oh thank you our king, and we promise to raise your children while your doing your duties for our nation!" Ashy said as the two of them were hugging me, which felt like 8 year olds hugging you. They let go of me to also tell me how the ceremony will go down, turns out the one I choose to be queen will be the only one wearing a flashy outfit, which is suppose to be better than the others. They also told me that after the ceremony I choose who to bed with next after I sleep with my queen, and make them my personal breeders, which are the most eager females that are more than willing to have more than one child with me. This is starting to surprise me a lot, but before I said anything else they were gone leaving me in the room with only to myself, and my thoughts.
A few hours later it was night time and the night watch was now patrolling the walls making sure nobody gets in or out. It was also starting to get cold with the temperature decreasing, and snow was somehow falling. I knew one thing about the caribou is they are used to more cold areas than heat which gave my zebras an advantage, and due to the cold my zebras and others are equipped with extra fur coats to prevent freezing. The minotaur guards were shivering, but holding on including my elephants as the needed the fur coats more than everyone else. One of the local minotaur guards heard something outside the walls, but as soon as he got a good look out there, nothing was there at all. However the sound of a snarling animal was outside the wall, and the guard looked again, but soon he was jumped by the snarling creature. It jumped at him, it was one of those chaos creatures from the beastmen faction in total Warhammer game, and it looked much more horrifying up close. I ran up to the monster and I stabbed it in the neck, but it just pissed it off, and it whipped me across the area with it's tail. But than Wheat and puzzle both came out together as they stabbed it in it's heart area, and after the monster was killed puzzle rushed over to me.
"Are you alright my lord!"
"Yes, I'm fine hows the guard wheat?" I asked her
"Hes fine, just scratched his knee caps, he'll be alright." she said looking where the monster came from. I decided to have a look, and what I saw was beyond my imagination. Standing outside the walls were 30,000 caribou warriors standing there waiting for the order to attack. They were riding on one of those monster that just attacked us and the were armed with iron swords, axes, spears, and an object that looks like a monument of America, you guys reading this know what I'm talking about. And yes I get it what it is, but I can't bring myself to say it on this fanfic. Anyways, in front of this massive army stood a really strong looking caribou with heavy metal and leather armor on. I'm guessing that this is dainn's general I mean I thought zeku's general was bad, but this one dwarfs the other, and looks to be stronger probably did more training than others. He stepped forward towards us.
