Chapters Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
Inside a ruin and long abandon tower, Sunset Shimmer explored her new surroundings. It’s been a couple of weeks since she came to this new world and like always she learned fast. The tower was home to small green skin creatures, that attack her when they found her after she step through the base of that horse statue. She still can use her magic and telekinesis, making short work of them as she flung all of them into the air and let them drop. She did save 3 of them and made them talk, they didn’t speak her language but a simple translator spell did the trick and learned that they’re goblins and wanted to rape her. Which she got the goblin to talk after she made him watch the others having their bodies twisted around.
There were only 23 of the goblins, lead by a shaman before they were all killed by her. The shaman was a survivor of a destroyed goblin hive and began a new hive. From the women the goblins had captured and rape to breed more of them. There were only one surviving females of a race she never seen before she found alive, she also found the baby goblins and killed them.
The sole surviving female died a couple of days later, she doesn’t know enough healing magic to heal them. But she did learn about this world from her before she died. The female was an adventurer Swordfighter whose party of 4 were wipe out by the goblins. When Sunset ask why she doesn’t give her name, Swordfighter tells her that people call each other by their tittles and not their names. (1)
What she learned of Goblins is that they primarily haunt the frontier lands where the military doesn't have a strong presence. Individually they are not very threatening and are considered the weakest of monsters. However, their numbers grow fairly quickly due to their ability to come into maturity at an accelerated rate, making them a rapidly increasing threat if not dealt with quickly.
Goblins are commonly found in caves and rely on attacking or stealing from settlements to sustain themselves, including the raw flesh of sapient species. The place a group of goblins are living together in is referred to as a 'goblin nest'. Goblins are an all-male species, but possess the ability to breed with any race with the pregnancy always resulting in goblin children. Even within the span of one week, a single captive can be forced to birth several new goblins. As such, women are among what they take from settlements to use for breeding until their eventual deaths at the hands of their goblin captors.
Goblins have an excellent sense of smell, especially when it comes to prey. They can even smell metal, making them dangerous to anyone wearing metal armor. They also have excellent night vision; if they detect any light in their nest, they know there are intruders.
Sunset has been using her spell to make the tower a safe place for her and learn more about the world, she’s in. She learn from Swordfighter that the amount of spells a magic user can use is very limited. The amount of times Swordfighter’ sold companion could use per day was 3 spells. The amount of spells that can be cast is based on ability and experience of the user. Making Sunset unheard of as she can cast as many spells as she can before her stamina runs out. As unlike normal unicorns who can only cast 3 spells a day, her talent being magic allows her to cast more spells than that. And telekinesis is just a natural thing that all unicorns can do, depending on their skill level. (2)
Sunset has been testing herself using her telekinesis as a weapon and the spells she knows on the local wildlife that attacks her. She always has a shield spell around her and a scan spell that detects danger. This world is much more dangerous then the world she left but she will survive and return stronger then she was before.
The stuff the goblins had were mostly garbage and she had to make do with what she could find in the forest. Even eating meat from some of the slain animals she killed when they attack her, a disgusting thing but she will do what she needs to survive. She only brought with her inside her bag of holding is what she had taken when she escape into the mirror, and she knows that she would need to find a village soon.
She explored the tower for the last few days and discovered a magical seal that protected a hidden room. In the belongings of the people that the goblins killed, she had found gold, silver, and copper coins which are the bits of this world. The bits she has with her are pure gold but that would only last for so long before she needed more. When she finds a civilization where she can spend it that is.
Which is why she’s been trying to figure out a way to get into the sealed room. The spell made the door of the chamber invisible and unbreakable till a nonsensical puzzle is solved that needs items place on bowls built on the door. Once Sunset learned that she decided to skip the puzzle and just rip a hole in the wall of the chamber, by using her telekinesis to rip a section of the stonework wall off. (3)
Inside the room Sunset found an empty room that once was the treasury which is now empty of all of its treasures. But she did sense some magic in the room. The magic she’s feeling from an amulet of a magic rainbow gem embedded in a gold locket that rested on a book on top of a stone pillar.
Reading enough stories of traps that will spring out when something is taken. Sunset stayed out of the room and used her telekinesis to pull the book and amulet out, which did cause a trap to spring which is the room being vacuumed of all the air inside by a magic spell. Which failed to do the job as there’s a big hole in the wall.
Sunset began reading the book which explains the amulet and who had owned the tower, written by the cook of the castle of all things. The tower use to be the home of an Overlord who ruled the land with an iron fist, before his death. His family had locked away anything connected to him in an attempt to forget the family shame, while those who remember the Black Baron speak of him in hushed tones. At least he knew that in order to be worshiped a ruler needs to make sure his people do not starve and the land is free from beasts. Otherwise, there are no worshipers.
The Black Baron’s brother the Duke took over after his death. The Duke's job was to keep a grip on his lands and subjects, and keep the money rolling in. However, the Duke's distracted incompetence has meant this hadn't been done. While he had always struggled to live up to the glory of his predecessors, during the last years of his rule his attempts at ruling and questing had met with even less success. When his land's prosperity plummeted, the Duke traveled to foreign lands in a bid to bring back wealth to restore his country's former glory, only for his wife, Duchess Gromgard, to leave him for a strong, rich nobleman from another realm. To make matters worse, the Duke returned from his quest empty-handed. With his wife having left him and his castle falling in disrepair, the pressure was getting to him. Heart broken and consumed by his questing failures and his obsession to restore glory to Castle Gromgard, the Duke set out on another quest on Lord Gromgard's 16th birthday, leaving his youngest son in the care of his abusive older siblings.
The amulet turned out to be the key to the Black Baron’s power as with it he could summon and control minions. But because none of the family could use magic the amulet and the minions couldn’t be used. So it was locked away in the vault by the cook after all members of the family were killed after the villages were ransacked by the demon king’s army. Leaving only the cook who left the amulet and his journal behind in hopes that if the Duke returns he could use it to restore the land or a hero could use it to defeat the demon king. Which never did happen and the forest grew around what’s left of the tower, which now sits in the middle of a vast forest.
The number of minions that could be created is limited to the number of times the user could cast spells. Or by the amount of life force is gathered that the minions can gathered from their slain foes, or animals hunted. The stronger the foe, the more life force that could be gathered. Which she doesn’t have the spell limit of this world, allowing her to cast more spells which allows her to summon more minions.
Sunset put on the amulet around her neck and her mind was filled with how to summon minions. The minions are magical creations that are completely loyal to their summoner and take a form pleasing to their desires of what they want out of a minion. The more she uses and summons more minions, she gain levels allowing her to summon different types of minions. And because of her being the top student of her old magic school, she can summon the four basic types right off the start.
Sunset summons a one of each type of minions to start off with, who are all females. The first is the basic minion wearing nothing but a skimpy brown top that strain to hold her large well formed breasts, and a loincloth that does little to cover her wide hips and large butt. Her arms and limbs are well toned with a slender but powerful body bronze skin body. She is beautiful and has short brown hair and eyes.
The second is shorter and has a more busty body and stronger looking. She has orange hair and unlike the other minion she is wearing a white shirt underneath cotton overalls, boots, and a tool belt loaded with tools. A hammer, adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, pliers, and measuring tape.
“I am Sunset Shimmer your mistress,” Sunset said to the 2 women.
“Mistress how can we serve you,” the 2 women ask.
“Tell me what you all know of this world and what you can do. We go from there,” Sunset said her mind racing with new possibilities now that she can summon minions.

Author's Note
1 - There are no names for the characters in Goblin Slayer. It is a nameless narrative. I’m just going with they do have names but use titles instead.
2 - Sunset still uses Equestrian magic so, it’s completely different from the magic of Goblin Slayer world. And she can use more spells and power.
3 - The puzzles needed to be solved to open a door to a chamber, doesn’t need to be solved to get in the room. Seeing how in real life if the door is lock, you can just break down the wall to do it. Which in many fictions people don’t do when there is nothing preventing them from doing so, like you can’t do that without destroying the water pipes or power cables or it’s a load bearing wall and would cause the building to fall apart.
4 - Fighters: The backbone of the Overlord's army. The most common type of the minions, they are all-round fighters and can take much damage before dying. They can use any weapon and wear almost any armor but they can't wield their weapons with any great amount of skill. They work best in groups overwhelming enemies with sheer weight of numbers. They either wear the garments that they summon with or any clothing or armor that they find or are given. They stand at 5'5" feet tall and have a busty built of a D Cup.
Workers: These are the basic support units of the overlord, they work with everything from farming to building, they know all trades but are masters of none, a basic unit who are used as servants, workers and farmers. Always dressed in working clothes, they are non-fighters, but are strong enough to keep themselves defended with tools and peasant weapons if needed. They are 5'5" tall, slim built, D cup, have orange hair and can not only act as workers, farmers and servants but can also read, write and teach, like a elementary school teacher but nothing higher. They're also able to make basic weapons, armor, and other equipment. There are different classes who are more skilled in one job field than others and have the right tools for that job.
Basic Worker - Jack of all trades but lack the tools of other classes. Can build simple contraptions; struggles with complex contraptions.
Lumberjack - Has the basic tools for cutting wood and wood work.
Farmer - has the basic farming tools.
Builder - has basic construction tools.
Miner - has basic mining tools.
Blacksmith - has basic metal tools.
Cook - has basic cooking tools.
Cleaner - has the basic cleaning tools.
Fisher - has the basic fishing tools.
Butcher - has the basic butchering and leathering tools.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
A horde of goblins numbering 52 are making their way to the light of an old tower. They been been lured to the tower seeing the bonfire on top of it. They’re being lead by a champion, followed by 5 hobgoblins, and 4 shamans. They’re careful as the air around the tower is strong with blood. The forest has grown quiet, as women dress in furs and bones have been hunting and killing just about everything they came across.
The champion learning about the women who have been hunting the wild game of the forest, had his entire hive moved out to claim them. He killed the breeders and ate them before leaving the old cave. The goblins who spotted the hunting party told of a tower full of women after they had followed them after they had taken care of a wolf den.
The scent of rot and death filled the air as they got closer to the tower. They quickly found the cause of the smell, a deep pit is filled with the trash of the tower, rotting carcasses of animals ranging from small animals like birds to large animals like bears. Also giant snakes, griffins, owlbears, wild boars, giant spiders, and more.
There are also the rotting bodies of goblins, the wandering band of orcs, several trolls, the bugbear that was leading a band of goblins, gnolls, an ogre. Showing that the women have been hunting down every single dangerous creature and race around the tower. They used their overwhelming numbers to swarm their prey and when the prey is too strong, the survivors went back to call their leader who is a magic user.
The champion and his horde stared at the pit of rotting bodies, where rats, flies, maggots, and other things are feasting. The pit is also where the drainage of the tower's toilet's empties out, filling the pit with excrement and urine. Which given enough time, will create saltpeter for later.
The champion and his horde suddenly were lifted in the air unable to move. Their heads twisted around breaking them, leaving all of them dead but for the champion who even with his neck broken and unable to move is still alive. Their weapons were all taken as well as any armor and gear they had, then they were dump into the pit. Where the champion would lay as he's eaten alive by the vermin and scavengers, unable to move.
!
Inside the tower -
Sunset looks over the weapons and equipment that she took from the goblins. Most of the weapons are just crude weapons made from tree branches and sharpen wooden spear or tip with rocks, with a few bows and slings. But there are metal weapons here and there, the champion carried a halberd. The armor that the goblins had are mostly just scrap metal, not to mention filthy.
The metals would be melted down in the rebuilt forge of the castle. The equipment have long since been taken but with her telekinesis, fire spells, and the worker minion’s tools, they been able to melt down any piece of metal they found and shape it into crude weapons. Not the finely forged weapons that Sunset remembers the royal guards are armed with but they did the job. Mostly just hatchets, picks, and axes, because of the lack of metals to melt down. Using molds made out of clay from a nearby river, they were able to arm some of the other minions with better weapons.
"Any more around the tower?" Sunset ask one of the fighter minions.
"We check, there isn't any threat that needs you to take action," the mage said.
"Good," Sunset said laying back on the bed of furs and naked bodies.
She's naked along with the minions sleeping with her, all sleeping together for warmth. Her minions are completely loyal and devoted to her. So eager to please her, which lead to them having sex with her. With little to do for entertainment, Sunset began having sex with her minions in a mass of bodies all wanting to please her. Hands and mouths everywhere all very skillful in driving her to the heights of pleasure.
Since the day she found the amulet that allows her to summon her minions, she's been busy. Making the tower more livable, like creating a channel lined with stones from the lone toilet leading to the body pit. Then cleaning out the old well, which the goblins kept clean surprisingly, which she figures that even they want clean drinking water.
The worker minions with their tools were able to fix up the tower. The fighters could do basic repairs and make basic things, but the workers more skillful were able to build things better. The fighters did the unskilled labor while the workers did the real work. Thanks to Sunset being able to show them what she wants made using her magic to project objects of her old world for them to see, they been able to come close to what she wants.
Sunset is sending a fully armed and equipped host of minions to march through the forest and get to the nearest settlement. The Workers had built a hot air balloon using the leather that has been collected and a basket. A worker was sent up into the air after Sunset had casted a telescope spell on her to see further. With the enhance vision spell the worker was able to see for miles from her vantage point, and she spotted a village outside of the forest boundaries.
With the limited resources at hand the workers could only make rawhide armor and a small amount of leather armor. They also made basic helmets for added protection as an unprotected head allows the goblin rock throwers and slingers to get the drop on some of the minions. And some carried wooden shields. (1)
They also forged swords out of the melted scrap metals. The swords are crude, brutal, one handed falchion or machete like blades, or a meat cleaver, which has a spike on the back of the blade for hooking and punching through armor or thick bodies. The blade is single edged so the edge can be sharpened quickly on a grindstone. The weapon is very industrial weapon and very intuitive, where anyone can quickly learn how to use it.
But most of the metal they have is being used to make more important items, namely nails and hinges and other things that are needed to repair the tower. With the work of the minions the tower is more repaired compared to what it was when it was just herself. Sunset is still deciding if she wants to make it into her home base, but it is where the portal back to Equestia is located. But it will need lots of work to be able to be support her and her minions.
Sunset discovered that she can desummon her minions and resummon them later. Which heals them and makes them battle ready. They do need to eat, sleep, and other things like her, but if she desummons and resummon them, that solves the problem in feeding them. Which she does but she needs a number of minions with her for protection, and to keep up the production of weapons and leather armor.
With the lack of proper gear her minions are little more than a band of barbarians wearing furs and wielding stone weapons. Which is why she’s having them hunt down animals and dangerous beings around the tower. Equipping most of them with bone weapons and armor, which she at first collected herself thanks to her telekinesis where she was able to grab animals and break their necks where the minions could cut up the bodies for resources.
Besides the leather making and using the bones to make gear. The meat is dried on drying racks that Sunset has seen used to dry out meat and fish when she was taken on a visit to another kingdom and talk with those griffins hunters. As a pony she normally eats just vegetables and fruits but with how little of those she could find in a forest that could be bad for her to eat, she’s been eating meat. For ponies aren’t herbivores but omnivores as she has eaten shellfish and how many meals have eggs in them.
The main reason for the massive hunt is the amulet needs the life force to level up. She has the magic to summon hundreds of minions a day before she's out of magic, which she does face the danger of burning herself out if she does, something that she heard stories of from... her. But she needs life force to unlock the higher levels of the amulet's abilities. Like the videogames of her world, she needs to grind to level up the amulet. She needs lots of life force to unlock the new minion classes, with some of them have ranks.
"There," Sunset said as she unlocks the next level and summons two new minion types.
The first one has blue hair and blue eyes wearing a skimpy top and loin cloth.
The second one has the same built as the fighters but all has runes all over her body. She has green hair and eyes.
"What do you two do?" Sunset ask.
"My class are the archers, we are your long range units," the first minion said.
“And I’m a spell caster, you magic unit,” the second one said.
"Rangers and Mages," Sunset said as she got up and walks over to the window that's covered by a fur cloak to keep out the cold night air.
Opening the window she looks outside to the empty courtyard where she began summoning her newest minions, in mass numbers. Her other minions outside gathered around as more new minions appeared in the courtyard. Till there were hundreds of them, all staring upwards at their mistress.
"Alright, you all rest up, at first light we have work to do," Sunset said to her minions, her mind racing with new ideas.
!
Days Later -
Sunset is sending over a hundred of her minions, to make contact with the village and to create a gateway which is two stone pillars where a portal opens between them. The mages can create a gateway that allows Sunset to open a portal and just teleport to the location from the repaired gateway in the courtyard. That way the tower would still be protected by the forest while giving a lifeline to the outside world.
The horde has 25 of each type of minions, fighters, mages, rangers, and workers. A horde numbering 100, armed, equipped and have provisions for the long journey. Their armor are decorated with the skulls and bones of both animals and the goblins they killed. Which should scare away any would be attackers.
With a farewell from Sunset the horde of minions, marched out of the courtyard and into the woods.
!
The village -
Even though it had a name and called itself a town, Nibblet was hardly more than a shantytown. A crude collection of dilapidated houses, even more huts and shacks, muddy streets or frozen in winter, raw sewage and the refugees, castaways and survivors of the current demon lord war. That was how it was till a rich vein of iron was found in the nearby hills, which caused traders to spread the word of the new iron mine.
A flood of people came to Nibblets seeking opportunities, building new houses and businesses. The merchant guild has already started up opening the mine and hiring guards to protect their investments. The goblins that live in the nearby forest had in the past raided the village but have grown quite lately, which was brush off to all the new people and arm guards.
One of the new guards spotted a horde of incoming goblins running out of the forest, numbering 10. He gave out the alarm and bowmen rush out to the field and fired arrows at the incoming goblins, killing all of them. The towns people gave out a cheer seeing the goblins dead, but some adventurers who were hired as protection felt something was wrong with how the goblins had behaved.
“They were running from something,” Martial Artist Rhea said.
“What do you see?” Thief Padfoot ask her other teammate.
“A large group is coming out of the forest,” Archer Elf said.
Out of the forest came the reason why the goblins were running, a horde of barbarians 60 strong are coming out of the trees. Wearing rawhide armor and decorated with bones, armed with with different kinds of weapons ranging from clubs, to sword and shields. As they got closer the horde are all human women, who are escorting two wagons, one loaded with furs and the other cured meat and horns.
“No wonder the goblins run,” Thief Padfoot said.
“There are more in the forest,” Archer Elf said being able to see the women in the tree line.
“So what do we do?” Martial Artist Rhea ask.
“Wait and see,” Archer Elf said.
Once the women got to the village, it turned out that they just wanted to trade for their goods. They traded the furs, horns, and cured meat for all the iron the village has and filled their two wagons with other goods. They also had coins and jewelry that they used to buy goods with, once they were out of goods to trade and money, they packed up the goods and left.
The women didn’t talk to the villagers besides the guards and merchants. With all of them armed and what they’re wearing scared off many from getting close to them. Some of the men tried to talk with the women and even hit on them but were just given the cold shoulder. With one being grabbed and punched away by one of the bigger women when he got fresh with her, showing that the women are really strong.
Once the women return back to the forest, disappearing in the tree line. Rumors began flying about the band of warrior women living in the forest. Some people tried tracking them, only to find a fort built made out of logs in the middle of a clearing. Making many wonder who are the warrior women, who only come out of the fort to trade goods at the village. Always trading for more iron ore, but never seem to use them at their fort. Leading to more stories being told about them and spreading far and wide.

Author's Note
1 - A rawhide armor, by definition, is just that; a hide, or animal skin in its raw form. Leather is animal skin that has gone through the process of tanning, which, in return produces a more flexible and supple material.
2 - Rangers: These are the archers of the warfare minions, uses only ranged weapons and cloth, leather and light metal armor, they focus on long range, and have the same appearance as the Runners, except they are more curved built and are about 5'8" tall. They focus on the use of bows, crossbows and slings. Which they can make on their own.
Mages: They are weak but powerful in using magic. Their bodies are the same built as the Fighters but their bodies are covered with magic runes. They're the only ones who can do magical damage to magical foes, and uses the same magic that the Overlord can use but only low level spells. They're also the healers of the minions and can bring back a minion back to life. They like wearing either robes or cloaks with hoods.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
In the adventure guild the adventures are waiting for the new job posting to be put up on the job board. As they waited they ate the food and drink that the guild provides, they shared stories with each other and told each other the news they have heard. But what's the most talk about news is about the warrior women from the eastern woods.
"The eastern forest use to be the home of the Illirian elves before the demon lord of that era drove them out. There are some of them still around, one lives where, I'm from she's the best garden of the kingdom," High Elf Archer said to her group of Goblin Slayer, Priestess, Dwarf Shaman, and Lizard Priest.
"A gardener?" Dwarf Shaman ask.
"In the Illirian culture the practice of growing and cultivating plants is considered an important and even holy skill. Gardening is a highly-valued profession, practiced even by the high-born elves. The Illirian elves are also known to be politically more skilled than the other elven kinds. I should know, I'm married to one," Druid Elf said from the nearby table he's sitting at with his party.
"What do you know of the forest?" Dwarf Shaman ask.
"From what my wife told me. It use to be a good place to live till the demon lord attack and drove her people to the winds about 7,000 years ago. There was a dwarven kingdom of Golden Hills known for their brewery, and their love for gold. My wife joked that the dwarves only live underground to keep the rain out of their beer. There is also a Rhea town of Mellow Hills that was also there. Then there was Greenvale a human dukedom that fell on hard times after Black Baron died and his brother took over. My wife told me that if the Black Baron was alive when the Demon Lord attack, he might had been able to kill the demon lord, he was able to summon minions who frought for him at will. He was a tyrant who had enslaved the entire area but without him, the entire region was overrun by the demon lord's army. What's left has been reclaimed by the forest and filled with all sorts of monsters and creatures," Druid Elf said.
"Minions? Like the Dragontooth Warriors?" Lizard Priest ask.
"No from what my wife remembers, the minions were small goblin like creatures, but have small noses and large bat like ears. They were magical creatures that were created by the Black Baron, but all disappeared after he died," Druid Elf said.
"How did he summon them?" Goblin Slayer ask having perked up having
"Kept it to himself and his family were all slain by the demon lord," Druid Elf said.
"What of the warrior women?" Priestess ask.
"Might be a tribe of warrior women who decided to claim the forest," Amazon said.
"And are the reason why there aren't any jobs around there too," Spearman said.
"They been hunting down all the dangerous beasts and monsters around the forest. They also been going to the different villages and asking if they have any troubles with monsters. All they ask in return is supplies. It's the reason why the goblins and other monsters have been fleeing from the east. Which is causing problems for the western regions," Guild Girl said. (1)
"That explains why there have been so many quests lately to deal with monsters," Swordman said.
"And the reason why there's a mission to find out what's happening there. The warrior women have been buying up all the ore at the new mine," Co-Worker said finishing up posting the missions on the board.
"Really?" Spearman ask.
"Yes the capital wants to know what those women are doing," Co-Worker said.
"They keep to themselves. I tried talking with one of them and just got the cold shoulder," Thief Padfoot said.
"You tried hitting on her and got the cold shoulder," Archer Elf said. Causing the other adventures to laugh.
"Anyways, we did follow their tracks and just found a fort made of logs in the forest," Thief Padfoot said.
"The do have money but they mostly traded with furs and cured meat and horns," Archer Elf adds.
"Not much that we don't already know. So who wants the job?" Co-Worker ask the group of adventures.

Eastern Forest -
Walking on the forest path Rookie Warrior and his childhood friend Apprentice Cleric are on the look out for the warrior women. The quest was to gather information on the warrior women which is why it's a low ranking quest with low pay, prefect for the two of them to show the guild what they can do.
"Wow this place is actually very quite without all the dangerous beasts and monsters running around," Apprentice Cleric ask.
"I guess this is why the mission was such a low level job," Rookie Warrior said.
They spotted a clearing up ahead of them, where the trees have been all cut down. The land has also been smoothed down, plants and stones have all been removed. so that there is no cover at all. In the center of the clearing is a fort, where all the wood of the cut trees had been used to build. The wall is made out of wooden logs driven down into the ground, there is a ditch dug in front of the walls to make it harder to climb. There is a road leading to the forest, which Apprentice Cleric and Rookie Warrior hadn't taken to avoid being spotted.
"If we go into the clearing we will be seen," Rookie Warrior said.
"I can use a spell to see what's inside. I learned it from Witch," Apprentice Cleric said.
"We're only here to gather information. So do it," Rookie Warrior said.
"Alright," Apprentice Cleric said casting the long range sight spell. She created a invisible eye that is link to the magic ball before her that shows what the eye is seeing.
The invisible eye flew into the air and gave the two a bird's eye view of the insides of the fort.
The fort has three towers, a well, 5 interior buildings, that including a stable and a warehouse. The other 3 buildings are unknown but one does have lots of smoke coming out from a chimney. There is several wolves being skinned, drain of their blood that is dripping into large buckets, pieces of meat on drying racks and skins being made into leather.
The entire fort is populated by women who are all wearing hide armor decorated with skulls and bones, and many are armed with clubs or axes, making them look like a tribe of barbarians. There is no signs of who is in charge, as none of them really stands out.
"So how many you think are in there, can your spell tell?" Rookie Warrior ask.
"No but there has to be over 50 or 100 of them," Apprentice Cleric said.
The gates began opening and the eye looks down the road leading to the forest. A wagon train of 4 wagons is coming out of the forest loaded with iron ore, tools, supplies, and sacks of grain. The wagons are all heavily guarded with no less then 20 of the warrior women to each wagon being pulled by 2 giant women to each wagon, with two more woman pulling the one loaded with iron ore, which is made to hold all the weight. The women are even bigger then Amazon but unlike her all 10 giant women are wearing bear skins, they're giants among the other women and easily pulled the wagons loaded with goods.
"Those women are huge," Rookie Warrior said.
"Yeah they are," Apprentice Cleric said feeling her self-esteem falling seeing how big the women's breasts are, each being bigger then her head.
"So much metal but what are they doing with it?" Rookie Warrior ask seeing how there is no blacksmith workshop in the fort.
"They might be transporting it elsewhere," Apprentice Cleric said.
"Let's go back before they see us," Rookie Warrior said.
The two left not seeing shadowy figures watching them from the trees.

Author's Note
1 - Unlike in games where the monsters will just respawn, hunting down the monsters will cause them to flee elsewhere. Which cause problems in other areas, who have to deal with the monsters who fled. Like in real life where if a group of animals are force out of one place, ending up in another place sometimes cause problems there.
Or driving them off will cause something else to claim the empty plot of land. Like driving off a bear will cause the wolves show up instead, as the bear was the only thing keeping the wolves away.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
In the adventure guild Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric had finished giving their report of the barbarian women to the guild staff, giving them their written report of what they learned. They are now talking with the other guild members about what they discovered. With Amazon being very surprised that there are 10 of the barbarian women who are even bigger than her.
“How tall are we talking about?” Amazon ask.
“Well,” Apprentice Cleric said looking around the room till she spots Druid Girl. “Druid Girl come over here.”
“Yes?” Druid Girl ask coming over.
“Can you stand next to Amazon?” Apprentice Cleric ask.
“Sure,” Druid Girl said standing next to Amazon her being a rhea only came up to Amazon’s waist.
“Yeah that looks about right. The women I saw are about that size. Amazon you would be about Druid Girl’s height compared to the women I saw,” Apprentice Cleric said.
“And they’re even more muscular then you are. They were pulling fully loaded carts and wore bear skins,” Rookie Warrior said.
“Sounds like berserkers. Warriors who enter a fury after a spell or drugs is used by them. They simply don’t care if they die as long as they can kill the one who kills them before they die. Had to fight a bandit like that,” Heavy Warrior said.
“He broke your sword and I had to save you,” Female Knight said.
“They might be giants,” Spearman said.
“But they’re not tall enough,” Rookie Warrior said.
“It depends on the type of giant,” Spearman answers.
“How many are there?” Female Knight ask.
“The fort doesn’t look that large but it houses over a hundred of those women,” Rookie Warrior said.
“As long as they’re in the forest the monsters around that area will be low and no quest for awhile to handle any monsters,” Heavy Knight said.

Weeks later -
The tracks the goblins left were easy for Goblin Slayer to track through the forest. The quest is the usual call for help from a farming village, goblins raided the village stealing food, livestocks, and two of the women. The group from the tracks is about 20, the women could still be alive.
Getting to the cave Goblin Slayer found someone had already beaten him to it. Goblin bodies have been impaled on poles, stuff into their buttholes and through their mouths, a shaman and two hobgoblins are among the 34 bodies, with spears being used to impale the goblin children. All of them have been dead for at least a day or so.
Goblin Slayer looks at the ground and found human foot prints all over the ground, has to be around a 100 or so who attack the goblin nest. He check the cave and found it has been strip bare with any loot the goblins had gathered gone. He followed the tracks through the forest which had tracks from a wagon, leading out of the forest and back to the village that make the request.
At the village, Goblin Slayer learned that the women that have been captured by the goblins are all there who were still alive. The ones who rescued the women and wipe out the goblins are a small army of women wearing rawhide or fur armor and carrying axes, spears, and bows, numbering over a hundred. They been traveling around wiping out goblin nests for villagers in exchange for farming goods or seeds.
When they were ask why so many of them are hunting goblins. They answered that the goblins are jokes that are only dangerous because of how much people don’t take them seriously. Experienced adventurers do not, as a general rule, accept goblin slaying assignments, primarily due to the low reward involved and high risk involved, as the reward is put up by the peasants being harassed by the goblins, who as a general rule are very poor. They'd much rather accept a job that involves, say, clearing out a group of bandits bothering a major trade route for the much fatter reward that a merchant would put up. Which allows the goblins to do more than they would otherwise get away with.
Goblins owe their success as career raiders in massive part to the fact that, outside of occasional recruitment into multipolar evil armies, they are limited to attacking the boonies and fringes of society, and at that only in intermittent cycles. The aristocracy are barely aware of the occasional frontier hamlets wiped out, and dismiss it as the perils of expanding civilization and lack of vigilance so long as the problem doesn't spread more.
Which the women don’t take lightly and attack in large numbers to make sure that they can’t be overrun as they outnumber the goblins. They’re on a mission to wipe out the goblins and won’t stop till they’re all dead. Leaving a goblin Slayer to wonder what the barbarian women from the Eastern forest are up to. (1)

Elsewhere -
Other adventures are also learned of armies of hundreds of barbarian women are going around hunting and killing every monster and dangerous race they come across. They took any job that needed to be done no matter how big or small. For larger villages and towns that have a sewer system, the barbarian women would clear them out of Giant Rats and Giant Cockroaches.
A Manticore that was attacking travelers was hunted down.
Wolves and warg parks have been hunted down.
Basilisks and their larger cousins cockatrices hunted and their nests checked for young and eggs.
A nesting wyvern that’s been raiding farms was brought down and eggs taken.
Giant spiders making travel through a forest road not safe, been killed.
Meat eating plants burned or harvested.
A iron mine that’s overran by a family of Rock Eaters were hunted exterminated, with the mine being taken over by the barbarian women instead.
Goblins being wipe out wherever they’re found, orcs, grolls, trolls, ogres and other races are also being killed off. And the ones who survived flee for their lives.
A number of dragons that have been raiding farms and villages had entire armies worth of barbarian women swarming them like ants. Their bodies butchered and dragon horde taken.
Which is what Chosen Heroine and her party of Sword Saint & Sage stumbled upon. The demon lord has been gathering monsters and creatures to him to fight for him, they were sent to kill a powerful dragon that sided with the demon lord. But by the time they got to the dragon’s lair, the battle was already over.
The dragon an old dragon the size of a mountain has been gutted and was half de-scaled revealing bone and muscle underneath. Its head was missing, along with all four of its clawed hands and feet. The wings had been removed and were spread out on the ground, along with all the spikes that had once dotted its spine. (2)
An army of women dress in furs and leather armor are swarming the body of the the dragon. Using axes and oversized meat cleavers, they’re slicing and hacking off pieces of the dragon into smaller manageable sizes. The meat is being wrap in cloth and place in wagons that are lined from the bottom and sides with ice. Huge iron cauldrons are rendering the fat collected from the dragon for the recovery of oil. The organs of the dragon are also being collected, even the dung of the dragon from its intestines are being collected as fertilizer.
“I think it’s those barbarian women from the eastern forest,” Sword Saint said having talk with other adventures about how quests have been drying up thanks to said barbarian women hunting so many monsters.
“There has to be over a thousand of them,” Sage said the scene before her reminds her of ants she once watch that we’re picking clean the reminds of a hambone of the remaining flesh.
“Come on let’s see what we can find out about them,” Chosen Heroine said leading her party to the dead dragon and the women butchering it.
A mountain of a woman dress in a bear skin and wearing leather armor walk over to them as they walk. Standing over 9 feet tall, thickly built with muscles. The parts of her body the 3 adventurers could see are rip with muscles but didn’t dampen her good looks. Not to mention that she’s incredibly voluptuous, wide hips and giant breasts that are bigger than any of the 3 adventurers own or their heads which would be completely be engulfed between them.
“Can I help you?” the giant woman ask.
“We’re adventures who were given the quest to slay the dragon,” Chosen Heroine said.
“The dragon has already been slain and the horde it had, has been looted. All it took was to just overwhelm it by sheer numbers,” the giant woman said.
“But how?” Sage ask.
“We took out the dragon’s wings as he was flying and sent him falling to the ground below and finished him off. All it took was one of us cutting into his eye and crawling inside and stabbing his brain,” the giant woman said. (3)
“Eeeewww really?” Sword Saint ask.
“Don’t care how powerful a dragon is, once you do some brain damage it’s over and all that’s left is to butcher it,” the giant woman said.
“Are you part of the warrior women from the Eastern forest,” Chosen Heroine ask.
“Yes we’re hunting and taking care of the monsters and other threats,” the giant woman said.
“Hunting?” Chosen Heroine ask.
“Yes we’re hunting and getting rid of all the threats that we find. Come since we took your quest you 3 can have some dragon meat,” the giant woman offered.
“I never had dragon meat,” Sword Saint said.
“We’re trying to harvest as much meat before it starts to rot,” the giant woman said walking to the butcher assembly line that is cutting up the meat.
The adventures followed the giant woman not only to get some rare dragon meat but also information on the motives of the barbarian women. They have the numbers to field hundreds of their warriors at once. They also have the resources to arm all of them. They have heard of them from other adventurers and seeing how they’re able to kill a dragon, they’re not foes to take lightly.

Author's Note
1 - Seeing how the goblins usually only have to deal with adventurers and aren’t seen as big of a threat, the goblins are joke monsters that an army of soldiers could easily wipe out but don’t. Which is the big problem for Sword Maiden as the city guard could easily wipe out the goblins but those above her don’t see the goblins as a big deal and that adventures can handle it.
Making the whole Water Town a plot that only happen because the joke monsters are seen as a joke allowing them to become a much bigger problem later. Which Sword Maiden knows too well that taking a joke monster as nothing but a joke doesn’t stop it from stabbing you in the back.
2 - The dragon is the size of Red Death from, How To Train Your Dragon.
3 - Seeing how big and heavy a dragon would be, having it fall from a great height would seriously harm the dragon. And brain damage will either kill any creature that has a brain or cause it to be unable to move.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord

In the blacksmith shop that supplies the weapon and gear of the guild, Thief Rhea hands over the weapons she managed to steal from the barbarian women. Since the women have been going around killing monsters and taking care of bandits, quests have been drying up. So when she got the chance she stole a pair of swords from them and hopes to sell it.
“How did you managed to get the swords?” Blacksmith ask.
“A bunch of them were being toss around as they attack a owlbear. So I picked up two of the swords that were near and ran,” Thief Rhea said.
“Tossing around is right. The swords are crude, looks like both of them are made from the same mold. It’s more like a meat cleaver, the spike on the back of the blade for hooking and punching through objects like a pickaxe. The blade is single edged looks like it was sharpened quickly on a grindstone. There is no finery or anything, it’s more like making arrowheads, they don’t have to be good just pointy,” Blacksmith said.
“You mean like how the weapons of the royal guards are all mass produced?” Thief Rhea ask.
“Well… yes the guards weapons are all the same but are still made with some finery. And that the guards are train to fight in large numbers,” Blacksmith said.
“There were over a hundred of those barbarian women that attack the owlbear,” Thief Rhea said.
“Over a hundred?” Blacksmith ask.
“Yes over a hundred. That’s how they fight, there is always at least 50 to a 100 of them or more. Chosen Heroine and her party saw an army of the barbarian women butchering that dragon. It’s the reason why they’re killing and driving the rest of monsters away, they just attack in overwhelming numbers,” Thief Rhea said having heard all sorts of stories from the other adventurers.
The stories are mostly of how there aren’t any good laying quests anymore and they have to take lower paying jobs just to make ends meet. The guild has been having trouble getting enough quests anymore as even goblin quests are rare now and even then when they show up it’s usually already taken cared of by those barbarian women. The quests now are mostly escort missions, locating lost people or items and jobs around the town or villages.
“That many? No wonder the adventures have been stopping by less and less. With them being able to field that many it doesn’t matter if their swords are crude, they just use overwhelming numbers,” Blacksmith said.
“They also been taking over places that use to be used by monsters. A all female party tried found the old elf fort that was taken over by those barbarian women. They also have a protection racket where the villages close to them give them supplies and they in exchange protects them,” Thief Rhea said.
“The kingdom has enough problems without barbarians setting up their own kingdom,” Blacksmith said.

Elsewhere -
Running through the Eastern forest, Dark Elf Spy of the demon lord army made his way as silently as he could. Using a silence spell and other magic items that allow him to move without making a sound. He was sent to find out what’s happening in the Eastern forest, with so many monsters and beasts fleeing from the Eastern forest and the ones responsible spreading across the land.
He isn’t the only one sent to gather information, entire teams have been sent to find out what’s going on. Using magic that allowed them to use animals as spies, they learn that in the camps and forts that they either built or taken over have a portal gate somewhere in them. Explaining how there are always so many of the barbarian women and what happen to all of the resources they have been collecting. With the portals they can keep on calling for more and more warriors and supplies.
Which is why Dark Elf Spy and so many other spies have been sent to learn what’s going on in the Eastern forest. With his elf eyes he saw the clearing ahead of him and the black smoke rising into the sky. Pulling out a live crow he kept in a pouch he used the spell scroll he was given and he suddenly was link to the crow allowing him to see through its eyes and control its body. Toss into the air the crow flew straight towards the clearing.
What greeted Dark Elf Spy was the entire clearing looking like a wasteland. The trees were all cut down around the rebuild Greenvale castle, which now looks more like a factory. The entire former territory of the dukedom is now littered with smokestacks, furnaces, and forgeries full of pipes, grates and other industrial machinery. Of the likes that Dark Elf Spy has never seen before. He could see the insides of the factories that are full of harshly grinding gears and levers, twisting pipes and deep vats. Powered by waterwheels thanks to the the river being dam and a network of water pipes, which powers wheels that turns gears and powers machines.
Working the machines are women, human women who are doing all the work. There are thousands of them who are all working in running the machines and pulling carts full of resources from one place to another. Not one man could be seen and he could easily tell that they are women as they’re all very well built and shapely.
From what Dark Elf Spy could see, they’re forging weapons and armor of the likes he has never seen the style before. Unknown to him the armor and weapons are being forged are base on the armor and weapons of the Pegasus ponies of Sunset’s world before the 3 tribes joined together. Which Sunset had a book about the ancient Pegasus Empire before the fall where the never ending winter cause the empire to fall. (1)
Wagon trains are unloading coal, wood, and goblin bodies, onto conveyor belts being fed into the furnaces. Goblins thanks to their blood which is weirdly darker and more viscous, are very flammable. Which is why when they catch on fire, they will burn like wood. The goblin bodies are being drop into a meat shredder with spinning blades inside, that chop the bodies into manageable part and mix with coal or wood to act as lighter fluid.
The blood and other liquids drip into grates that drains into vats. The gore is mixed with sawdust, animal fat, and coal dust being left to dry out. The results is chunks of burnable fuel that burns longer, which in Sunset’s world are known as firelogs. (2)
Dark Elf Spy has been to the Eastern forest when it was still a dukedom, before the demon lord’s army of that time swept in and destroyed it. Flying high he could see the ruins of the old Mother Goddess temple where the Illirian elves once lived, exposed thanks to the Evernight forest being cut down.
Mellow Hills where the Rhea once lived, have been turn back into farmland. Fields of corn are being grown and farm animals are being raised.
Golden Hills home of the dwarves, the mines and forges have been restored and in operational again. The lands around the former dwarf lands have open pits showing much mining and metal work being done.
Then there’s Heaven’s Peak, the largest human city that was destroyed during the demon lord war of that time. It has been rebuilt but the buildings are of a different style. It has a large walls protecting it, with a lower, middle, and upper sections of the city. On the upper section is a grand palace still being built. The castle city, is protected by a number of guard towers, and strange weapons mounted on the walls and towers. Which unknown to him are cannons. (4)
Resting on a roof top of the castle city, Dark Elf Spy saw the city filled with women. A memory came back to him of the Black Barron who had ruled the land with an iron fist when he was younger. Of how with his minions he was able to make all the other races submit to his rule. Of how he was able to summon them by either magic or using the life force he gain from what his minions slaughtered with their seemingly endless numbers.
Dark Elf Spy cut off the spell and turn and ran. He has to tell the Demon Lord that a new Overlord has risen up once more. All the killings done by the barbarian women is to collect life force, to summon minions which the women are. The new Overlord has amassed so much life force from all the beasts and monsters that he’s able to have thousands of them. Which the Overlord is using to make weapons and armor to be able to field a well equipped army.
Dark Elf Spy isn’t the only one spying and gathering information as the Kingdom has also sent spies and adventurers to figure out what’s going on and learned that there is a new Overlord, thanks to the long lived races who were around when the last one was alive. The news will spread fast and far, of an Overlord with a vast army of female minions, with more lewd tales also being told as well.
The only real question is, which side is the new Overlord is on?

Author's Note
1 - From what the old Pegasus look like in flashbacks of the show, they look to be a combo of both Greek and Roman.
2 - A firelog is a manufactured log constructed to be used as wood fuel. Firelogs are designed to be inexpensive, while being easier to ignite, and burn longer, and more efficiently than firewood. Firelogs are traditionally manufactured using two methods: the first uses only compressed sawdust and the second uses sawdust and paraffin, which is mixed and extruded into a log shape. The extruded firelogs are individually wrapped in paper packaging which can be ignited to start burning the firelog as the paraffin is readily combustible.
And I’m basing the goblins being very burnable is due to how much they burn when they are lit on fire.
3 - Modeled after Minas Ithil from Lord of the Rings, of the Middle-Earth Shadow of War games.
4 - Seeing how Pinkie Pie has a party cannon, it’s cannon that Equestria has cannons and knowledge of how to use them.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
The lands around the towers has changed since Sunset first discovered the amulet that allowed her to summon minions by magic or from harvesting life force from living beings. Which animals that are hunted for food and resources or farm animals butchered, also provides life force. And months of work has given her an army of thousands of completely loyal minions who serve and obey her.
With a demon lord commanding an army of demons and monsters, making war with the other races and creating chaos across the land. Sunset decided to raise her own army and crush the demon lord and create her own kingdom, which she will use to build up her strength and numbers till the portal opens once again to her world.
Lumber mills turn forests into building materials or fuel for the fires for the furnaces, turning raw materials into useful steel. Factories manufacturing weapons and tools for war. Excavating into the earth, building scaffolding that descend into pits with cranes and pulleys to bring up stone, clay, mud, and ore. Sand from river beds and beaches are turned into cement for new buildings and glass. With the desert sand being useless for making cement and glass, they have to dug up sand from beaches and rivers. (1)
From the portals connected to the forts, came trade goods that were either collected, brought, or traded. Farms and ranches produce food, resources, and life force from the farm animals, to feed and clothe the ever growing army. Some of the food is from towns and villages, where grains are grind into flour by mills, for the farmers in exchange for some of the harvest.
Sunset looks at the reports on the build up of her army, she's also not playing by the rules that everyone else plays by in this world. She's making sure that her army has all the weapons, armor, equipment, supplies, and the logistics to keep them supply. With her minions able to create portals she's able to quickly transport her army to any of her forts. Giving her speed that no other army can match, when an army marches it's hard for them to hide and gives the enemy time to prepare. She doesn't have that problem and the enemy force will have very little time to prepare.
She's also had her worker minions build advance weapons, namely cannons, mortars, and steam powered machines. The cannons are smoothbore like the ones used by other non magic races. The mortars are based on the firework launchers, to lob the explosive shells over walls and object that enemy units use to hide behind. Using steam powered trains as a base, the workers have created stream powered transportation carriages built to bear the weight of the larger and heavier cannons and mortars.
They have tested the power of cannons and captured and dead dragons. Larger and older the dragon, the more cannon fire it takes to kill one, but seeing how the cannons can break dragon scales with enough hits all it takes is hitting the head to bring them down. Once she reveals her army and weapons to this world, warfare will forever change.
Sunset looks at the list of the minion types she currently have unlocked. She has separated them into two types. The Warfare Minions whose skills are mostly for warfare. Support Minions who provide the support and logistics.

List of Minions -
Warfare Minions (Minions used in open warfare against other armies, castles, cities and the likes, they are the armies of the overlord.)
Fighters: The backbone of the Overlord's army. The most common type of the minions, they are all-round fighters and can take much damage before dying. They can use any weapon and wear almost any armor but they can't wield their weapons with any great amount of skill. They work best in groups overwhelming enemies with sheer weight of numbers. They either wear the garments that they summon with or any clothing or armor that they find or are given. They stand at 5'5" feet tall and have a busty built of a D Cup.
Rangers: These are the archers of the warfare minions, uses only ranged weapons and cloth, leather and light metal armor, they focus on long range, and have the same appearance as the Runners, except they are more curved built and are about 5'8" tall have D cups. They focus on the use of bows, crossbows and slings. Which they can make on their own.
Amazons: The powerhouses of the Overlord's army. They're slow but very powerful fighters. They're the only ones who can wear and wield heavy class weapons and armor.

Like fighters they wear the basic garments or any clothing or armor that they find or given. They stand at over 9 feet have purple hair, having broad-shoulders, masculine figures, and sporting a M cup.
Runners: Not that strong but are very fast. These minions as their names suggest are the fastest of the minions types, used for either fast attacks or delivering messages. They're the slenderest and less developed of the minions to allow them greater speed in running. Also when it comes to transporting objects by hand they're the fastest at carrying the objects back to the castle.

They know how to use cannons, other siege weapons and got three ranks.
1: Swabber. A simple sailor with little knowledge about the sea. Are recognized by their sailor hats.
Pirates: Pirates are the war version of sailors. They are pretty much the same but they are the sea warriors of the overlord's army. They are around the same height as the sailors but with slightly larger busts with H cups and slightly leaner bodies, they got long red hair which reaches their hips. They prefer the same weapons and knows how to use siege weapons and bombs. They are ranked the same as the sailors.
1: Pirate Swabber. A simple pirate with little knowledge about the sea and sea warfare but is good enough to survive. Are recognized by their bandanna.
Royal Knights: These royal guard minions uses animals and beasts as mounts in combat, they are very strong and their abilities are related to their mount, horses aren't very special but boosts speed, while worgs (giant wolves) raises both speed and power, just examples. Some mythological mounts grants them magical abilities in battle and they are also able to ride on flying mounts and are thus able to act as scouts and bombardment troops. They prefer to wear metal armor, wield long weapons like lances, spears, halberds and so on, and they also wield shields and wear helmets to raise their protection. They are 6'4 feet tall, athletic built, but more slender as they do not really move around much on their mounts, got some nice E cups on their chest and dark skin that goes well with their red hair. They are ranked in four categories by the accessions of their helmets.
1: Squire. A total beginner who only knows enough to ride on a mount and to swing without falling off. They only got plain helmets.
Beast Tamers: The animal tamers and breeders of the minions. They tame war beasts that they unleash onto the battlefield, or use as mounts. To tame a beast they either knock it unconscious and takes it to the castle, or if it's to big then they tie it down with either chains or ropes and tames it, some of the more experienced Tamers can use mind magic to easier tame beasts and animals. They aren't very fast and they cannot equip all that much weapons but they are rather strong and very agile. They also work at farms breeding farm animals and horses. They also hunt game animals for food and resources. Stand at 5’6” strong and thick with D cups.

They are slender standing at 5'6" and have D cups.
Beastwomen: These minions are partly animals, giving them animal parts and fur, not every Beastwoman looks the same or is of the same kind of animal, they can be everything from dogs and cats to sharks, dragons, hawks, and the likes. Beastwomen are different, they can be strong, fast, tough, have keen senses and yet what they all can do is speak with animals. But as they are partly animals can they get distracted easily by something their race find curious or interesting or fun. Beastwomen come in different sizes according to what kind of animal they're half of. Those who are half bears are large in size and strong, while those who are half squirrel are small in size and fast. If the animal they're half of has fur they have fur, if it has scales they have scales. Their bodies are a mix of softness and muscles from a C cup to a Q cup for the big and tall girls.
Valkyries: These winged beauties are the main winged forces of the Overlord, they are strong built like the amazons but stand at 7 feet tall and have a large bust of an I cup, a more outlining six pack and tight bottoms, long powerful but slim and sexy legs. Their golden bronze tanned skin is covered by golden and white tattoos, their large white wings, around twenty feet in width in total, makes them appear like angels. They are both capable melee warriors and ranged warriors, but knows no magic. They are strong, fast, has magical resistance and hold great dexterity, but a hit on their wings is lethal if they are flying at a high place, their wings are their biggest advantage and weakness. They use all manners of armor and weapons, but prefer to use light metal armor, spears, longbows, halberds and other long, or medium, ranged weapons.

Sunset looks up as a Bureaucrat came walking in, who she has named Callie who she has made into her personal aide and head of the minions. Just like Raven Inkwell is for Celestia back home, with her being able to speak for Celestia when she's not around. Wearing a dark pink business suit so that she sticks out, which all the other minions also do something to make them look different from each other. She keeps her inform of what's going on around her growing domain, with the lower ranking Bureaucrats feeding her data of all the projects that are in the works.
"Mistress we have enough arms and equipment to field an army of 10,000," Callie said.
"And how many can join them who aren't as equipped as they are?" Sunset ask.
"With the ones who aren't as equipped, and keeping some to guard your holdings. We can field over 50,000 with the 10,000, giving you an army of over 60,000. And with no camp followers we can move much faster," Callie informed her. (3)
"Good, have them march to meet with the Demon Lord's army when they're prepared," Sunset said.
"At once," Callie said leaving to give out her mistress's orders.

1 - Desert sand is largely useless to us. The overwhelming bulk of the sand we harvest goes to make concrete, and for that purpose, desert sand grains are the wrong shape. Eroded by wind rather than water, they are too smooth and rounded to lock together to form stable concrete.
2 - If anyone has ideas for Minions, I'm all ears.
3 - Camp followers are civilians who follow armies. There are two common types of camp followers; first, the wives and children of soldiers, who follow their spouse or parent's army from place to place; the second type of camp followers have historically been informal army service providers, servicing the needs of encamped soldiers, in particular selling goods or services that the military does not supply these have included cooking, laundering, liquor, nursing, sexual services and sutlery.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
From the Eastern Forest an army of the likes no one had ever seen in ages came marching out. The only time one would see an army of that size is when many kingdoms pooled their armies together or an army of monsters lead by a demon lord. Spies from both the kingdom and the demon lord quickly learned that the army is made up of nothing but women. Different sizes and shapes, with some beast women in the mix, but all of them are women. All are heavily armed and equipped, they have no camp followers with them but did have a wagon train being pulled by giant women who all stand over 9 feet tall.
With 2 large wooden ships that are on wheels leading the wagon train, serving as a mobile base for the leader of the army. Being pulled by 10 giant women who stand over 20 feet tall, being big enough to grab human size races in one hand and toss them around. With archers armed with crossbows on the look out on the ship. The second ship is a mobile slaughterhouse where beasts and animals hunted by the scouts and soldiers are processed.
Unknown to the spies and watchers of the army, inside the ship is a gateway to act as a supply line for the marching army. The wagons following the ship do have some supplies but the gateway inside the ship is the real supply line and how army can get fresh troops. The giant army is more for a show of force than anything else as they could had easily just waited till the ship or a scouting force could setup a portal.
The army use the roads causing much panic as they come near villages and cities, the local nobles and leaders of the settlements feared that they be attack. One noble had ordered a scorched-earth policy around the walled city to prevent the army from gathering resources, when they lay siege to the city. Which the army just march pass, leaving the noble to face the backlash of his rash decision that left the city with no crops and many farm animals having been butchered with the meat not taken being left to rot. Leaving the breeding stocks very small and will take years to recover from.
The King a former adventurer and current ruler of the country, hearing this called a meeting with his advisors and policymakers, in particular his personal inner circle of: an elderly minister, a red-haired cardinal, a tan-skinned court mage, a royal guardsman in silver armor, a Gold-ranked Padfoot adventurer-turned-advisor, and a silver-haired attendant. He earned his frame and position by defeating the last demon lord and sealing him in the Dungeon of the Dead. And he’s been busy as King in dealing with the new demon lord.
His old teammate, Sword Maiden doesn’t hold very high opinions for how the King distributes the country's military, especially since he believes that the Adventurer's Guild should be more than sufficient to counter the Frontier's threats. Because he keeps most of his forces stationed at the Capital to ward off demons, a lot of villagers are left to fend for themselves without expecting a response from the government. Even when there is a goblin infestation in a city's sewers, Sword Maiden has to request Goblin Slayer because her requests to him for military assistance are brushed off. Most of the military is exhausted and suffered heavy losses from fighting the Demon King's armies, and any army he does raise to deal with threats like goblins will be peasant levies who cannot stay in the field for very long and will be poorly suited to fighting in tight, close quarters like ruins, sewers, and caves. Adventurers don't cost money to be deployed, and are much more experienced, well-armed, and motivated.
The news of an army that marched out of the eastern forest has King worried, as well as all the other kingdoms. With how the military of the kingdoms have been exhausted by the war with the demon lord’s army of monsters, an army of that size is all but unstoppable. From the reports, the army is at least over 60,000 made up of mix soldiers and races. So far they haven’t attack any settlement but once they do, there won’t be an army big enough to stop from doing what they want for at least a couple of weeks to months. Seeing how most lords couldn’t afford to arm more than a few hundred soldiers in their settlements. (1)
“Any idea where they’re heading?” King ask the people in the room with him. Silver-haired attendant is serving everyone some tea as she pushes a chart around the table.
“If they keep heading west, they be in the demon lord’s territory in a day or two. They’re covering ground faster then any army of that size should be able to cover,” elderly minister said.
“They’re only stopping to take care of any monster nest or bandit hideout. They’re using scouts to find them and smaller groups of soldiers break away and handle the problem, no less than 50 are sent. People have tried to talk to them but they just continue on whatever they’re doing,” the red-haired cardinal said.
“The army are connected to the barbarian women. They follow the same plan of attack, they just use overwhelming numbers and are well trained and equipped. The spies and adventures sent to the Eastern forest have seen the factories in the center of the forest where all the weapons and equipment were made. They been preparing themselves for this and have the numbers to just overwhelm any other army they will meet,” tan-skinned court mage said.
“We don’t have the force to meet them in battle, we simply don’t have enough soldiers. In the open field they will just overwhelm us. The only sure thing is that if they remain on course they will end up in the demon lord’s territory. Best case is they’re going to there kill the demon lord, worst case, they join up,” royal guardsman in silver armor said.
“I ask around and the Eastern Forest use to be the domain of the Black Barren an overlord tyrant. The few Illirian elves who survived the war with the demon lord of that time, remember well how powerful he was with his magical goblin like minions. They have all said that if he was alive when the demon lord attack, he might had been able to kill the demon lord. They explain that the minions are created by harvesting the life force of anything that the minions or the overlord killed, stronger the being is and the more life force can be harvested. It’s not that hard to figure out that the women are the new minions of a new Overlord. Someone must have discovered how the Black Barren was able to create his minions and made their own, but as women. And with how they have been hunting down any dangerous animals and monsters to the point where they’re all but wipe out in many places, there be thousands of them now,” a Gold-ranked Padfoot adventurer-turned-advisor explains.
“How long do we have till they reach the demon lord?” The King ask.
“At the rate they’re going. At least 4 days,” royal guardsman said.
"Hopefully they're on the side of good," the King said.
"Or it's just the new Overlord wanting to have no competition," Gold-ranked Padfoot said.

2 Days Later -
The two army’s, one of warrior women and the other the demon lord’s army made up of goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres, cyclops, giants, dark elves, duergars, humans, hydras, lycanthropes, demons, gnolls, golems, imps, minotaurs, beastmen, and other monsters. Spies, adventures and other people have been following the army of women and were surprised at the speed the army were able to travel. What would had taken a similar army to travel, they managed to do in in half. Unknown to the people watching the army, the warrior women have been taking shifts on the march with the tried women being replaced by fresh ones by the gateway in the hold of one of the ships, so that they could travel faster.
The battle began with a volley of magic spells cast by the female magic users, who didn’t even wait for their soldiers to form ranks like the demon army did. They launch spells after spells on the front ranks of the demon army, the enemy spell casters launch their own spells, but were stop as magic barriers were casted. The front rank of the demon army charge forward hearing the war horn blowing.
Giant women carrying already constructed trebuchets between them came running forward, a crew that operates the siege weapons, followed by other giant women who carried carts filled with wine barrels, all filled with a mixture that will keep on burning till there is nothing left or starved of oxygen. In another time it would be known as white phosphorus. The giant women quickly set the trebuchets up and ready to fire, and the crew launch the barrels into the air. Where the mages struck the barrels with fireballs, sending burning powder onto the army below. The demon lord’s army began screaming as their flesh began burning from the burning embers raining down on them, trolls being weak to fire as well as the goblins panic as they ran trying to beat the flames off of them. More barrel are flung onto the battle field some bursting into flaming rain while others fell to the ground and burst into giant fireballs once any spark of fire came in contact with the powder.
With a wall of fire engulfing the front ranks, the flying monsters were ordered to take to the skies ready to strike from above. Gargoyles, harpies, griffins, manticores, winged demons, dragons, and other wing monsters flew towards the warrior women. They flew high so that they would be very hard to hit by the archers firing range.
Carrying what look to be ballistas but are giant crossbows, more giant women fired giant crossbow bolts into the flying foes. Because of their sheer size and power being fired from a crossbow, the bolts tore the larger flying enemies to shreds. The giant women are able to easily punch through the thick armored scales of the dragons, and because of how accurate the crossbows are, the giant women aimed for the dragon’s wings, causing many to fall to the ground no longer able to fly.
The smaller fliers were able to get through and drove down to attack the enemy force. Only to be met with fireworks that are being launch into the sky, causing panic in the air as the fireworks exploded, lighting up the sky with light, smoke and noise. Some of the fireworks struck the fliers sending them falling to the ground below or caused the others to fly away in blind panic.
The demon lord watch, as his first wave is halted from the firestorm that has created a wall of fire. The aerial attack is being shot down before they could get close, with fireworks being used to keep the fliers away. The demon lord used his massive power to shake the very earth itself, causing the ground beneath the burning front line of his army to be lifted up and slam on top of the attacking force. Crushing the giant women and magic users, clearing the way for his second wave to charge ahead.
The demon lord's army seeing the fire gone and the siege weapons destroyed by their lord, they rallied and charge forward. The climb over the rubble and sees the shield wall the enemy has formed, with spears ready. Arrows rained down on the charging army, as well as stones from slings on the charging demon army, cutting or knocking many down where they were trampled to death by their own side, or cause the ones behind them to trip, causing pile ups of bodies.
The demon army kept on charging forward and bursting from the shield wall came, what would be known as cannons, each loaded with grapeshot. The cannons all fired at once, sending iron balls the size of tennis balls into the mass of the charging army. Creating overlapping cones of death across the battle line, the sheer power of the cannon shots rip through bodies, armored or not, or how protected they are. Even the ones who could and did take the shots without it ripping through them, still suffered from the impact, taking internal trauma. (2)
The ships that have been turned to their sides, revealed firing slots on their sides with cannons poking out of the holes. The cannon crews open fire, along with the trebuchets launching rocks on the demon army. The cannons once fired are replaced with a new cannon ready to fire, the spent one is swabbed down with a wet sponge on a pole being stuff down the muzzle to put out any sparks, so that new shot can be put in, and the giant woman who did the reloading and firing of said cannon waited in line to fire again, which is 4 cannons deep.
The cannon fire and the other long range attacks, are slaughtering the demon army. In another world, the scene would be that of World War 1 where generals using out dated tactics send waves of soldiers into machine gun and cannon fire, killing thousands within minutes. The enemy kept on firing and slaughtering the in coming army as they kept on charging, being pushed by the ones behind them. Till the cannon fire stop, not because of there aren't anymore enemies to hit, but because there is no more ammo left to fire.
The demon army seeing this charge forwards rallying again. They slammed into the shield wall and were cut down as they beat and tried to get through but were cut down by the warrior women who are 20 women deep. Stabbing and pushing forward and replaced by the woman behind her. Any woman who got cut down is quickly replaced by a new woman, the battle went on for hours. Clashing and retreating and clashing again, with neither side seemingly to run out of bodies to throw at each other.

Elsewhere -
With all eyes on the massive army marching towards the demon lord's land, it was easy for Sunset to have a small team of her minions to sneak around the Demon Lord's forces and get behind the main army. With such a massive army approaching, the demon lord had called upon all of his forces together to fight the army, with only a few soldiers left to keep order in his strong holds.
A small team wouldn't do anything but for one simple fact, they're able to create a gateway. Once the gateway was open, minions poured out of it reaching hundreds of thousands. Not as well armed as the one fighting the demon army, but they make that up in sheer numbers. The march to where the battle is taking place with Sunset having joined her minions, lifting a giant cannon with her telekinesis that weights over 100 tons. Joined by 3 more cannons, all made to kill the demon lord.
Sunset spotted the Demon Lord in the back of his army. He's a massive humanoid with purple flames coming out of his skull-shaped head. He's been using his vast magical powers to launch attacks on the army of women before him. Creating holes in their line but are quickly closed before his army could break through. They just seem endless as reinforcements just keep on coming to fill the holes he creates.
The roar of the battlefield is such that he didn't even heard the cannon being fired behind him, but he did felt the cannonball striking him, breaking his back. The demon lord's scream of pain cause his army to pause as they turn to see their lord fall. Before he could recover, the second cannon fired and strike him while he was down, followed by the 3rd cannon firing at point blank range, reducing him to a torso. The last cannon fired as it was press up against his head, pressing against the ground, destroying the cannon but also destroyed the demon lord. (3)
The sight of their lord killed, cause the demon army to lose their will to fight. They would had run but for the fact that the new army that appeared behind them swarm all over them from behind. Pulled them down in sheer numbers, pinning them between the two armies of minions. Sunset joined her minions in the slaughter, using her magic and telekinesis to fill the sky with lightning that fried the flying enemy soldiers, and ripping the ground forces in two. With each death more and more minions are spawned and join on the attack, till there was none left to fight.
The people watching the battle witness the complete destruction of the demon lord's army that day. The victorious army of women mop up the ones still alive on the battlefield, jabbing weapons into the still living bodies, carting them them away. The bodies of the fallen women disappeared after awhile, leaving just their clothes and weapons behind.
One thing was made clear, the New Overlord now rules the lands that once belong to the demon lord. With all the other countries fearing what the Overlord is planning next.

1 - The High Middle Ages were also somewhat like this. The French under Duke William of Normandy conquered all of England with only 8,000 men, and the Kingdom of England was estimated to have only been able to field 14,000 well-equipped troops across the entirety of the country, or 1% of its then-population of 1.5 million. When considering that, 1,000 years earlier, the Romans needed 30,000 men (four legions plus auxiliaries) to conquer what would later become England, and that 400 years later, more than 50,000 English troops would fight at the Battle of Towton, the armies involved were quite tiny indeed. This was a large part of why Europe became so fractured and decentralized in this time; every petty lord could afford a castle or fortify their city to at least some degree, but the large well-drilled and well-supplied armies needed to take them just didn't exist anymore.
2 - Like how in real life when someone wearing armor is shot, they still can be laid out by the impact of the bullet. Which is why trauma plates are a thing for armor.
3 - I'm not doing the whole immune to everything but one kind of weapon. It doesn't make sense at all, with it only making sense in a videogame. Outside of that, it doesn't make sense as while a handgun won't do anything against a battleship, doesn't mean a battleship is immune to all guns, just that you need a bigger one. Superman can be knock out with a big enough gun being used on him, as you just need more power for it to work.
Goblin Slayer: Sunset Overlord
!
With the death of the demon lord and the slaughter of the demon army, there is now only the Overlord’s army that now stands. The lands that use to be ruled by the demon lord is now the Overlord’s which is being stripped bare of the remaining demon lord’s forces. The strongholds and nests that the monsters and races under the command of the demon lord are being found and the ones inside slaughtered.
Sunset in her throne room watches the work being done in her newly conquered lands. She needs to setup infrastructure and leave a battalion behind to keep what she has taken. The war is over and now the hard part of keeping what she has won has began. But it’s only temporary till she has striped the loot and taken care of the remaining demon lord forces, then she withdraw her forces and have them back in her lands and the lands can go back to the kingdoms that had owned them before the demon lord army invaded their land.
With the riches and resources from the war she’ll be able to improved her lands around the tower. Municipal buildings like the ones back home are being built in the plan villages and towns where there be indoor plumbing and power. The selling point is that the people who move into the plan villages and towns will have full protection, where they don’t have to worry about a horde appearing on the horizon. They have healers, to look after them and supplies, in exchange in working farms, factories, and other jobs. They pay in resources and money for the security she will provide them, with her iron fist to keep them secure from the dangers outside the land she rules.
The treasure room is overflowing with the spoils of war. Sunset picks up a large goblet covered in what appears to be a thin veneer of gold leaf. One of the many loot that was taken from the demon lord and his minions. There are chests full of rings, earrings, necklaces, and other trinkets. Stacks of gold and silver plates and chests full of silverware made out of gold and silver. Being traded or melted down and turn into coins, for supplies that she needs to build her kingdom.
The war with the demon lord has exhausted her elite units, both in the veteran minions and the equipment they used. She needs time to rebuild her forces and supply them with weapons and equipment. Filling up her depleted ranks isn’t the problem, unlike conventional armies. Thanks to the slaughter houses and hunts for dangerous animals and monsters, she has thousands upon thousands of life force. The life force teams whose jobs are to gather the life force from battle with monsters has also filled up her life force reserves, that was till she upgraded the amulet so that any life force is automatically collected by magical means whenever one of her minions kills something. She easily replaced all the dead minions within the day after the battle. (1)
The real problem is replacing the lost weapons and equipment, for what’s use to having a large army if you can’t armed them with proper weapons and equipment. Which is why she spent so much time in building up her industrial capacity to allow her to make mass production. She understand logistics, unlike in other kingdoms due to prioritization or politics lack the materials needed to keep many places supplied. Which is why the demon lord was able to expand as much as he was able to do, thanks to undersupplied soldiers. (2)
Sunset knows that she can just send waves after waves of her minions with nothing but their fists and whatever they can pick up to overwhelm any force with sheer numbers, but she isn’t foolish enough to do that. Even with all the life force her minions have collected, she knows if she does that kind of warfare she will run low sooner or later.
The number of villages and towns that were under the her rule has expanded after word reach them about her defeating the demon lord. They saw her as a better protector from the dangers of living in isolated hamlets far from the big settlements of their kingdoms on the frontier. The settlements that are under her rule are protected by a garrison of no less than 30 minions in their own small fort built near the settlement.
With the new land under her control, she only needs to keep it. She isn’t some warlord looking to expand, that’s for the future and not just when she has already won a major victory. She also has to take care of any remaining monsters that served the demon lord, as well as the goblins. She wants her lands to be safe, where people living in it don’t have to worry about a gang of bandits or monsters appearing over the horizon.
“Have any of the kingdoms sent anyone?” Sunset ask Bureaucrat Callie.
“No they have not, from the spies the other kingdoms are all in a panic after seeing the defeat of the demon lord,” Callie said.
“I would think that with the defeat of the demon lord and so many settlements deciding to join my kingdom, they would send people to talk with me,” Sunset said.
“There are many rumors running around about the new Overlord, like how he commands so many women using his insatiable lust,” Callie said.
“They still think I’m a man? I could use that, but for insatiable lust? I do need a break from all the group sex,” Sunset said who is sitting on her throne completely naked. Still resting from her last orgy with her minions, her body sweaty and wet.
With there being nothing but women and how lustful they are with her, Sunset just found it easier to be naked. And being a ruler is stressful and she needs something to help her relax and sex is a great way to do it. Plus the tower after being rebuilt and having indoor plumbing and other things that Sunset was use to having back in her old world, she really didn’t need to leave her tower.
“It does save time to just have groups,” Callie said who is also naked. Around the throne room are a number of minions who are also all naked as well. All of them waiting for the chance to have sex with their mistress again, which they take turns on an ever rotating schedule.
“Having a stand in Overlord so that people think the figurehead is the real Overlord and I’m just a minion,” Sunset said thinking about it.
“Create a golem?” Callie suggested.
“Yes, a golem which will be the figurehead so that I can freely move around without people knowing I’m the new overlord,” Sunset said.
“The rumors are all wild and as you ordered, we only preferred to you by your title. So they have no idea if you’re a man or a woman,” Callie said.
“Good,” Sunset said thinking of what kind of golem she should make.

Elvish Kingdom -
When the old demon lord invaded the Illirian forest, after invading the rhea, human and dwarf lands, the demon army slaughtered most of the elves by burning the forest. Erasmus the elf lord lead the survivors along with their queen Fay out of the forest to escape the onslaught. Joining the other survivors of the other lands conquered by the demon lord. Most of the surviving members of the Illirian elves had settled in the Elvish Kingdom.
Out of the survivors, Oberon Greenhaze of the elves, Melvin Underbelly of the Rhea, and Goldo Golderson of the dwarves, join the human hero party lead by The Wizard, Jewel the Thief, Sir William, and Kahn the giant warrior. Together they defeated the demon lord of that age, and Oberon is the only surviving hero from that age.
“I was young when the Black Baron was still alive, enslaving all the lands around his castle and using his hordes of minions to keep it. Besides the enslavement part, he kept the lands he ruled peaceful and there was always enough food to eat. The lands after he died quickly fell into anarchy without a strong ruler. If he was alive when the Demon Lord came, I would still be living in the Evernight Forest,” Oberon said to Forest Princess in the royal court.
“If the last Overlord is anything like this new one, he would had,” Elf Ranger said who had watched the battle between the Overlord’s forces and the Demon Lord’s horde.
“We know so little of the new Overlord, no one knows what he looks like, or if he’s even a man. The battle was too wide and vast to see if the Overlord was even there,” Shining Helm said.
“We need more information before we do anything,” Forest Princess said.
“I’ll go and meet with the new Overlord,” former queen Fay said who is an advisor to Forest Princess. “It be nice to see my old home.”
“I’ll go with her as well, it’s been centuries since I was last there,” Oberon said.

1 - Unlike in the Overlord Games, life force can be collected by anything killed, not just a few enemies. Like how the rats if killed won’t give any life force but beetles do. So in the story any animal from rats, to fish gives life force.
2 - If the day-long battle and hundreds of men that fought it stupefy you, figuring out the much greater amounts of time and individuals it took to get those men there will really send your jaw to the floor.
Any modern armed force in Real Life must receive a steady supply of fuel, ammunition and other provisions in order to be able to operate. There are countless examples of armies being fatally weakened or even dissolving completely due to insufficient supplies. In some types of combat, such as air-to-air, ammo and fuel supplies can even set an absolute hard limit on how long an engagement can go on; combat airplanes, for instance, may well expend all their munitions in a single pass. Therefore securing supply lines is a vital part of any military operation. In games with a military theme, save the most serious wargames and grand strategy games, this aspect is usually dealt with in the background without the player having to worry unduly about it. Sometimes, however, this aspect is portrayed in an egregiously unrealistic fashion, with the forces depicted being mostly or entirely liberated from logistical constraints.
