Let me ask you a question.
Where did you learn History which actually stayed in your head?
Yes my dear fellows, in Age of Empires!
So this is an Age of Empires 2: The conqueror'sexpansionand OregairuCrossover!
(More like Forgotten Empires and The Demon King's game crossover, LOL)
"The morning is in the mountains,"
"The red sun is rising, the mighty wind is blowing."
"Heavy clouds are crawling across the sky, like if they know that the battle is near," I put my foot on a boulder for extra effect.
"This sunny morning I feel hope,"
"Our courage and thirst for victory,"
"Our noble spirits, Our souls!"
"I want to sing! The Byzantinesare strong, but we will fight with a song in our hearts."
"With the song of victory, No one will escape and we will be victorious!" I raised my fist in the air and it was followed by the cheers and shouts of a thousand men. The hundreds of Samurai, Teutonic knights and Tarkens who had gathered here raised their weapons and cheered.
Looking at the multitude gathered in front Irealized that I was about to do something that would never have been possible in real life, both for me or for anyone in the world.
I was about to lead an army of Teutons, Japanese and Huns against the wall of Constantinople, well more like….
Yeah, The walls of Constantinople,right.
Yeah, I just realized our chances of victory were pretty minuscule
...well it was not that bad.
I was Japanese, we had the Teutons and then we had the Huns. A neat combo if you ask me.
"You really are something, giving a speech like that."A voice drew me out of my Mind palace and I looked back the voice and found the both Demon sisters standing behind me looking at me with strange expression.
"If you have to fall, at least try to look cool while you do." I said.
"I really can't believe that this game revealed that you had this kind of side to you," Yukinoshita said as she massaged her head.
"I will take that as a compliment Yukinoshita." I said and turned my attention to another man standing close by. He was of average build and his silver hair reminded me of someone….close.
There was something i doubted but i needed to confirm with my own eyes that's why i commanded him.
"Scout forwards and test the strength of their walls. Ride like the wind." I ordered his and he bowed and got on his horse and kicking his horse he rushed towards the Walls.
A Light Cavalry hero...
A chuckle escaped from my lips and I looked towards a one eyed Samurai who was commanding his own batch of Samurai. A self proclaimed Shogun of Shimazu….
It seemed the more that I summoned a particular person to the battlefield his standing and rank would increase and so was their loyalty….as a result they had the chance to become Hero units...
That is if they weren't converted...
Fucking priests...
The Enemy has been spotted!
I closed my eyes and focused on the scout and instantly a bird's eye picture of the entire battlefield appeared in my head. The man was riding like the wind and moving his body in various directions trying to dodge the arrows being fired from the towers.
Suddenly he pulled hard and the reins and the horse jumped towards the left and in the same instant a cannonball landed at the same spot where he was going to be. The cannonball was fired from the bombard tower that was built into the wall.
I was certainly impressed with this woman and if there was a counter it would be like this.
Hikigaya's appreciation has increased by 1000
+1000
And then as I remembered who she was, it dissipated like it had never been there.
The more you appreciate it, the more you hate it.
Hikigaya's appreciation has decreased by 2000
-2000
Suddenly knowing what lay beyond I ordered the man to retreat telepathically. That was how I commanded these men to fight for me….
Coming to think of it…
How exactly do sheep communicate anyway?
I mean you can use them for scouting but this jut that it's one of the biggest mysteries of this game.
I mean is there some sort of long lost art of sheep whispering?
"Watch out!" A cry dragged me back and I saw a large number of flaming projectiles heading towards the man, though there were a large number of them he was too fast and all of them crashed into the empty field.
Though it had not been much he had given me a pretty good guess on what was on the other side.
"Nice strategy Yukinoshita-san," You really had to commend her for this.
"What do you mean?" Yukinoshita Haruno said as I commented...
Yeah I forgot about these two...
"It seems you mother is a better strategist than you two," I said turning to them, the scout had come back and was now standing along the shogun.
"Simply put, she made thick walls so while we try to breach them she will pound us to dust with her siege weapons." It was just as I said, she had posted onagers and trebuchets behind the wall for extra damage. No one would dare approach a wall like that.
Expect us of course...
Yukinoshita, the younger one, tilted her head and asked, "But aren't they only useful for siege?"
This woman...
She had no idea about their abilities...
"You know the answer to that is so insulting that I'm not even going to answer that." I said and turned my attention back.
"What do you mean by that Hikigaya Hachiman?" She asked angrily, yeah now she looks pissed.
I was about to answer back when suddenly a bugle blew and a notification appeared in front of us.
Yukinoshita Yoshino has built a wonder.
If it stands for 2000 years you will lose
Fuck….
If we were playing at Hard difficulty right now, it had just been reset to Lunatic..
"Shit..." I turned to the other two.
"We have no choice, we have to attack now." The face of those two were grim but they nodded and started ordering their subordinates.
I turned back and before I started walking towards my own men I threw a command to my castles built close by.
Train 20 petards.
This command was repeated to almost all the castles. I had already trained a large number of Onagers and Trebuchets. But the strategy I was planning required a large number of siege weapons and halberdiers.
This was a strategy requiring only one type of siege engine and getting the unique siege tech of the Japanese for the trebuchets was more than enough but call it my paranoia but I decided to combine three strategies for dealing with Yuki-Mom….
Wait why am I even calling her that?
She's not even human.
Back on track, it was a pretty simple method for the attack.
Use the Trash units to get close and then destroy the walls with the Petards and then use the siege to wipe out anyone left and charge in and kill, everyone.
Oh and destroy the wonder before crushing her completely.
Yukino had already started moving her Skirmishers and Halberdiers towards the walls while Haruno's Onagers and Trebuchets followed behind.
A pretty good tactic. If they managed to learn something from our previous matches and used this efficiently I will not even need to move a muscle.
…and just as a precautions I should build a castle and some towers in their town as 'protection'…
"Sire, this one wishes to ask a question," Suddenly the one eyed Shogun spoke up.
"Aren't we going to attack too?" Eh?
I get it…
The mentality was still old School.
"Do you know why I have send them first?" I aske him to which he bowed his head down and shook his head.
"I cannot trust them." I answered plainly and the soldiers looked at me curiously.
"But aren't they our friends…" He asked.
"Friends are just people who still haven't betrayed you." I looked at their advancing forces as I continued.
"You forget that the woman we are fighting is their mother. Human have a instinct to keep a grasp on power no matter the cost,"
"Our economy has weakened and of not for their trade we might have to adopt decisive measure,"
"When she falls, those two will change and consider us of no further use,"
"To prevent them from becoming turncoats you are deliberately letting them lose. I feel it is against my honour."
"Is there disgrace in taking steps to protect yourself is there?" he stared at me for a moment before kneeling again.
"No my Lord, I apologize for my rudeness and behaviour. If I offended you I offer you my life as an apology." He said while kneeling.
If I ordered him to commit Seppuku he would do it. That was the amount of respect that I commanded in my men.
"If they do betray us…..make sure you run the rivers red in blood." I said in a low tone and the man looked at me and smiled, "It would be my greatest pleasure to bring ruin to your enemies."
Standing up he asked again, "But will they lose enough?"
"Sire, the gate is opening!" The silver haired scout from before called out and pointed to the Huge Gate. Yukino's and Haruno's troops also stopped for a moment before they started marching again after hearing their commanders.
They stopped again as they saw cavalry coming out of the gates.
"Sire…its them!" The scout exclaimed as the Cavalry thundered out of the Gate.
"They have come." I said as a bird's eye view provided me a clear view of the horsemen spreading across the length of the field and form aline four lines deep.
There must be at least a hundred of them.
"There's your answer." I said without turning back at him.
As I said those words a horn blew and at the signal all of them charged forward. The view of hundreds of Horses thundering forward sent fear in the hearts of all the men.
"Behold," (And fear)I said with a dramatic effect.
"The bane of Infantry," (The harbingers of Doom for anti-cavalry)
"The Legendary Byzantine Cataphracts!"
Yo long time no see.
(nobody gives a shit you fool)
