I've been looking forward to this moment since I started this part. This is perhaps one of the biggest shockers in all of Overlord canon. All hail the daughter of Papa Bone-Daddy! Disclaimer: I don't own Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or Overlord.
Spirit Tracks Chapter 31: Army of Carne Village
Barbro lead a small force of five-thousand soldiers toward Carne Village. The place was important, both to Momonga's faction and George's faction. 'To the best of my knowledge the two seem to be at odds. While they have worked together before, it was largely against a foe that happened to sleight both of them. But Joestar was definitely attacking some of Momonga's faction back during the assault of Re-Estize. Reports from our agents embedded in Baharuth came back with reports of monsters in the tomb, but that can't be the case. I know Momonga and his allies are Stand users. Likely one of them created the monsters via his or her Stand.'
"Your Majesty," came the voice of Cheneko, Barbro's aid, "What are your plans in regards to the village?" Barbro considered it. "Ostensibly we are to make inquires about Momonga and his followers. But... I think we can do far more than that. I need to improve my standing among my siblings. Zanac, Starlight, and Renner are working together to insure Zanac supplants me as heir to the throne, after all, at which point the three would work together to run the kingdom their way." He grinned. "We could hold the village hostage and force Momonga out of the confrontation. Or better yet... Conscript the villagers and have them fight against their so-called savior."
"You intend to have Baharuth sever ties with Momonga somehow," Cheneko realized. "Indeed," Barbro said, "He may not actually be the all-powerful sorcerer some of our lesser members believe him to be, but his Stand does grant him extensive elemental manipulation. Enough to threaten our forces." He didn't notice the dark shape dashing away from them and towards the village. It was Lupisregina, who had been tasked with protecting and watching the village. 'I'd better inform everyone about this.'
Communication between the two groups was being done via viewing mirror. "I see," Momonga said, "So Barbro is going against his father's instructions and seizing personal glory." 'That means Barbro might be involved with the conspiracy,' George noted, 'Starlight, has he ever shown his Stand before?' 'Not once,' Starlight replied, 'We know he has one, since he can see Stands. And he can radiate Stand energy, so it's not like the Stand is dormant.' "Regardless," Momonga said, "He will soon find himself in over his head. Carne Village is better protected than he realizes."
Sure enough, Barbro started running out of patience quickly. The village gates didn't seem to want to open at first. He had his forces launch a fire attack on a nearby guard tower, only to get surprised when something caused a great volume of water to douse the flames. He didn't see it, but it had been Nfirea using Majin Gattai to create a small tidal wave. With the women and children relocated to safety, Nfirea and Enri looked at each other. "You get going," Nfirea said, "You'll need room to use it." Enri nodded. She had finally learned enough about her own Stand to fully awaken it. It had taken the simple form of a small horn carved from animal bone.
The gates opened, and the soldiers that attempted to enter were shocked when they got attacked by ogres. "What in blazes!?," Barbro said in shock. He looked and five ogres decimating his foot soldiers. "The village has ogres?," his commander said in surprise. "The village chief must have a Stand that lets them command such beasts," Barbro guessed, "Rather surprising, but nothing insurmountable." His men broke down the gate with a battering ram, only to find resistance in the form of the goblin troop, as well as Nfirea.
"It's not just ogres!,' Cheneko realized, "They've somehow also conscripted goblins!" "And they're better trained than one would expect," the commander noted, "Plus that boy there. He seems to be a powerful sorcerer." "At such a young age?," Barbro questioned, "I smell a Stand at work here. So the village has more than one. Make sure to trample all in the village, and send forces around back, just in case someone has tried to flee." A small force of horsemen circled around back, but a few moments later the clear sound of a horn could be heard sounding through the air.
"They called for reinforcements?," Cheneko asked, "But where would they even come from?" He soon got his answer as soldiers came running from behind the corner of the wall, pursued by several thousand goblin soldiers. Enri walked up to the top of a nearby hill, accompanied by several more goblins. "Hear me, you foolish prince! You desired to turn us against our saviors in forced conscription, when your father declared we were exempt from such action for another five years! This act of treason will be duly punished by me and Stand! So go forth, my Seven Nation Army!"
Barbro looked on in astonishment. Already the goblin and human defenders they had been fighting were being patched up by what looked like a medical team. There was a single goblin next to Enri that looked to be some sort of strategist, several more just in front of her that might have been a rear echelon unit. "Sir, this army is massive," the commander said, "We should retreat immediately." "We can't," Barbro said, "If they turn this army against the capital there's no way our forces would stand a chance."
Momonga observed as Barbro's forces made their feeble attempts to attack the goblin army. "Heavy infantry units, paladin-knight units, beast rider units, longbowmen, magic support units, magic bombardment units, an entire drumline for marching. Even assassins and some red caps for guardians. So this is the full power of Enri's Stand. It truly is spectacular. Through her Stand alone, she is in charge of what may be one of the strongest armies in the entire alter verse. Seven Nation Army certainly seems like an appropriate name for it."
"There must be at least five-thousand of them," Punitto noted, "And it looks they're letting Barbro go." "I'd hate to let him live after confirming he's one of our primary enemies," Momonga said, "But we still don't know his position within the faction he's a part of. Still, we can sort out the other forces that surrendered. In the meantime, I believe it is our turn. Make sure to maintain the illusions, Punitto. We are here to put on a show, after all. Jircniv says it will be most effective if it is both flashy and intimidating." Punitto grinned. "I think I can manage that."
Talk about fun. Don't worry, Barbro's not defeated so easily. We still have a lot of story to go. But for now, let's check out Enri's Stand.
Seven Nation Army (Song by The White Stripes)
User: Enri Emmot
Ability: Seven Nation Army holds the ability to signal and command goblins and ogres. Said beings answer Enri's commands immediately, as if compelled to do so. However, that's only its first phase. When fully awakened, Enri can summon forth a massive army of goblins five-thousand strong, consisting of a strategist, rear echelon support unit, medical corps, heavy infantry corps, paladin-knight corps, beast rider corps, longbowmen corps, magic support corps, magic bombardment squad, assassin squad, red cap bodyguards, and a musician corps. All goblins in this army are fully trained and disciplined in their respective field, and are completely subservient to Enri. When not needed, the Stand returns to its semi-awakened state. It will fully awaken again when Enri blows the horn that is the Stand's form.
