Thank you to the people that are following and reviewing this story. It took some time to write, but here we are.

Now, this chapter isn't as long as the last ones, but it does introduce the other characters that will be involved.

Just a fair warning, this scene will be a wee bit….brutal. If you are uncomfortable in near rape or certain body parts being hit badly, then I suggest you scroll down until the next part.

Chapter 3:A Night to Remember

Ryuu was on top of a tree, looking into her left and right. She volunteered for the first shift, considering she could sleep a few hours and be refreshed.

Her journey so far has been interesting. Finding a nice sparring partner like Bell felt a relief. She would try it with her other co-workers, but after one round they give up. She is surprised how tenacious Bell is and how much he's improving. She knew that Syr would be in good hands with him in time.

She wishes she can find a man like him that would be considered respectful and kind. She looked and saw Asfi, landing on a branch on top of another tree. She would nod, as she would return it as well. She was surprised she could remember her, albeit with shorter and greener hair. Both chatted and catched up with how life was going, before they had to focus on their duties.

Ryuu's ears picked some heavy footsteps that are trying to be discrete. She looked over and her eyes widened.

Orcs, imps, and goblins are surrounding them.

She wasn't going to allow their ambush to succeed. She jumped down and took one of them out, and took the other one out.

"Ambush!" She shouted

Warning: Violent and near rape start

This caused the others to wake up.

Bell got up and took his knife out. He went outside of the tent and saw a large orc with a club. He avoided the hit easily and stabbed it on the neck, taking it out. Bell then focused on another orc.

Welf took his large sword and took out two goblins in one swing and blocked an attack from his left. He sidestepped, swung and sliced a goblin into two.

Lilli began to move back, shot an imp down and noticed something was off about them. They had a look of hunger and saw their loincloths, barely covering their hard on. She grew disgusted by it, and shot it on the groin, causing it to screech loudly.

The creatures cringed and saw another one of their own getting shot on the crotch as well. They flew away from her as she was giving rapid fire on them with precision. They were not taking any risks.

Ryuu was easily dispatching the creatures with a few precision thrusts on the vital parts of the body. The orcs were dropping down faster.

Laurier was with Asfi, defending the gods. She avoided a goblin, and she released a fireball at it, taking it out. She then saw an orc charging right at her, but was then melted by a chemical that was thrown by her captain.

Asfi then carried both gods and placed them high. "Sir, I suggest you take any of them out, if they get too close!"

"I will Asfi!"

He took out his staff and knocked one of the creatures down. Despite not being in battle a lot, he did learn to defend himself, in case of anything happening. This is one of those moments. Hestia easily avoided them as they were too focused on the girls.

Mikoto and Asuka were fighting back to back, some of the creatures. They were slowly moving forward, fighting each one and taking them out. Mikoto was more focused on some of the enemies growing in front of her. She closed her eyes and chanted "I respectfully speak to you, my War God that can break through anything, lead me from the precious heaven. Give my petty body divine power of your grand body. Rescue them light of purification, sword of crushing evil. Sweep sword of suppression, sacred sword of conquest. It arrives here now by my order. Descend from heaven, rule the earth. Futsunomitama!"

The creatures that were close to her got crushed by the heavy gravity of the magic. They never dealt with anyone with that kind of magic at all, and were having a troubling time dealing with it.

Asuka took her short sword and took out another one. She never realized how far she was away from Mikoto and, yet she fought on the creatures. She was nearly separated from the camp a few more yards.

An orc saw an opening and tackled her down. This was the chance for the others to hold her down and they each held her arms and leg, pinned down.

She didn't know what was going on. She tried to push them off, but was held hard. She saw one of the orcs having this malicious smirk. She yelped as her blouse was ripped easily, exposing her breasts and white panties. Her heart rate went fast and she ended up being frightened at what she saw next.

The orc took off his loincloth and showed his large hardened member. For the orc, it has been a while since he had a girl, maybe a virgin as well. He chuckled darkly.

She saw the intention and tried to get away, but was held down hard. She yelled "Help!"

The orc was ready to enter her, the bulb of the head was close to pushing her in.

"Firebolt!"

The creature was hit in the head, the creature collapsing on the ground. The others were surprised and then one of them got hit with another firebolt. They saw a young man with white hair, some blood on his armor, running right toward them. They tried to run, but each of them were taken out, one by one.

Asuka just stared at Bell. She was trying to process everything.

A monster was going to ruin her

To take away something she is saving for someone one day

Until she was saved by this white haired teen again. First it was during the Monster Parade where they left them there, and now was saved by him.

She then processed it all and began to hug herself. Feared over what would have happened, fear of being weak.

She then felt being covered and carried. She knew it wasn't the monsters, but the one that saved her.

"It's over now…."

The voice of the white haired boy who saved her twice.

Near rape ends

Ryuu looked around for more monsters and found one of them trying to escape, until it stabbed its knee.

"Ahhh! You elven bitch!"

This surprised everyone. A talking monster?

While the last few monsters were taken out, Ryuu dragged one of them back to her group alive. She then asked "Who sent you?"

"Rrrrr."

"Who sent you?"

"Go eat a-Ahhhh!" he felt another stab on his other leg "Okay, okay! We were ordered to ambush any caravans in this route….we were told that is where they keep the supplies coming ... .we were to grab anything, food, clothes, women, anything!"

"Who is your leader?"

"...the demon king…."

She raised her eyebrow. "Explain."

"The demon king is in another kingdom at the moment. He is trying to….invade lands, subjugate the women, and keep everything"

"Subjugate?" Hestia asked.

"Yes. We breed the women we capture. We fuck them, we break them. Hehehehe…..just think about elven women make things better…ahhhh!" He felt it twist on his knee.

"I thought the queen was in charge of you." Bell said

"The queen? She made a deal with us to deal with the reincarnated goddess. We fight, fuck, and destroy, in exchange our servitude to her….if I had my chance, I would stick my-ahhhh!" He felt the lost feeling of his leg.

Ryuu had enough. She knew that letting him go would be a mistake. In one swift motion, a slice on the neck and he was taken out.

The people there had various reactions.

The women were horrified and disgusted by it. Creatures like that to rape women was wrong, but being bred?

Hermes had a frown look on his face.

Welf clutched his blade and went to see Hephaestus. He saw how she is a bit shaken from hearing this. He hugged her and held her. She felt comforted by his hug. She knows goddesses can't bear children, but being used like a sex toy to those monsters, made her ill.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

She smiled hearing this.

For Bell though, he learned how far these creatures will go to hurt people, and violate women. He looked at Asuka and realized what would have happened to her. He then went back and pondered, how many more women suffered on their hands.

Hermes then snapped them out of it "Okay, everyone snap out of it. Yes, this is a terrible revelation, no doubt. However, we can't stay here, knowing that we might deal more of it. So, let's pack up fast and move to another location."

They began packing up, as Bell noticed Asuka looking shaken from all of it. He went over and gently placed a hand on her shoulder "Asuka."

She flinched and saw it was Bell, giving a sober smile. She smiled a bit "Thank you."

Bell nodded and went to help out.

Hermes was helping out until Hestia asked "Any idea which goddess is involved in all of this?"

He shook his head "Currently, I would think Ishtar would do something like this. Freya? Can't say much on that end. Any others. I am uncertain if any descended here. I am at a loss at the moment."

She frowned hearing this. "Possibly an elf? A spirit that adapted?"

"Possibly."

"Hope this Celestine can help us out."

"I hope so too."

They packed a few more things, and kept their eyes around the place, not knowing if more would come out of there.

In another part of Eostia

The last creature died as a girl with lilac hair, green eyes, and wearing somewhat armor that shows cleavage on her breasts looks annoyed.

"Hmm ... .they are getting more annoying as we come close, right my dear fiance?"

A young man with brown hair, wearing blue clothes with parts of his armor on his shoulders and knees nodded in agreement. "They don't seem as strong as the ones in our homeland. Then again, it wasn't easy driving them out of the kingdom."

"I do wonder though, if maybe the reason they drove back is because this place is vulnerable."

"If that's the case, then it might be best if we keep moving."

They turned and looked at the carriage and the young girl went to check up on the person. "Mother, are you okay?"

A woman with golden blonde hair, green eyes and wearing a pink sleeveless dress, showing her cleavage of larger breasts than her daughter, smiled softly "I am well. None of them got near me."

"Good. Just wondering if it is even a good thing coming with us."

"Well, it is one way to assist you and the others to the best of my abilities. After all, I was a tactician years back, Catue."

She saw her daughter agreeing, but looked uncertain of it "I know, but….this is different."

"Don't worry about it, everything will be fine. I will help out Queen Celestine, to the best of my abilities."

"Okay." She then got up on the seat of the carriage with her fiance "Ready, Jin?"

He nodded and off they went. He placed his arm around her, making her smile.

Inside of the carriage, the woman looked at the young woman with light brown hair and purple eyes. "How do you feel about the trip, so far?"

"I am feeling good, my queen."

She giggled "You can call me Nina, Anna. After all, you are good friends with my daughter."

"I know, I know. It's just trying to get used to it to be honest. And….how are you, personally. I know it has been a month since King Lawrence…."

Nine gave a sad smile to her "It's….getting better. I know he wasn't himself that day, and my daughter had no choice at that point. I did love my husband. I did, but if it wasn't for Guignol using that spell on my husband, then I know he would have been keeping an eye on everything." She then placed her hands on the younger woman "How are you though?"

She looked down "I am grateful that Catue saved me….if not…." she shuddered to think what could have happened to her.

"I heard….I am sorry about it."

"It wasn't your fault. Nor your husbands. That monster will pay for what he has done."

"He will."

The girls were then silent as the ride went on, while looking around for anything dangerous in the way.

In a large castle

A dark skinned elf with long dark hair, wearing a revealing purple dress, looked into an orb. For the past three hours, she has been trying to spy on the enemy. However, interference wasn't allowed. She pondered if someone was smart enough to cover them.

She tried various angles and means to see where these Black Dogs were, but sadly, they seem to figure her out.

She drank her wine and placed it on the side.

She then saw someone approaching her. She smirked at the woman in front of her. "Welcome back, Chloe. How was your scouting?"

A blonde haired dark elf, though her ears are slightly shorter than the other elf's, wearing blue clothes that showed more skin than anything, looked serious "A spy has told me that Lady Celestine recruited help from another country far away. A place called Orario."

"Orario?" She looked at her oddly.

"Yes. From the rumors I hear, they have very dangerous adventurers and tend to fight monsters in a large Dungeon they have."

This intrigued her. Maybe one day she could go there and control the monsters, if they seem to be that numerous.

She then focused on trying to find these so-called adventurers. She concentrated on her magic, to find anyone near the outside borders of Eostia. She focused more and more, as it was blurry on the crystal ball. Then it cleared out. A young man with white hair and red eyes, looking focused for anything. Then the image faded.

"Hmmm….."

"Saw something, Lady Olga?"

"I saw a young boy. White hair….red eyes….he had a determined look. Then interference."

"Interference?"

"Yes. I have been having that for some time, and I wonder how is it even possible? I have tried to read off my enemies, but something is interfering."

Chloe frowned hearing this. "So, what do we do?"

"Have the guards double patrol, and have our allies start to push more villagers. See if they can start reporting for any supplies they manage to cut."

"Yes, my lady." She then left, leaving Olga looking at her crystal ball.

"A powerful mage managed to find a way to block my ability to 'see' where everything is. I will have to try scrying to be able to figure it out, then."

She sighed and looked at one of her servants. "Get me my scrying supply."

"Yes, my lady." He ran to grab it.

The war has gone for so long, that she wondered if this is the part where she loses. But how? Her allies were pushing hard and were winning. They were getting lands, but were more or less disgusted by their activities after.

Then came these Black Dogs.

She began to slowly lose important battles. One area to another. She would assume that these Black Dogs would fold like the Princess Knights, but she was wrong. They were persistent and tough, even smarter in battle.

She took one more drink of her wine and sighed.

She also began to ponder on cutting her alliance with the demons and monster. She knew what they were doing, she even heard a few of them grunt of their conquest.

A part of her felt disgust by the creatures on their actions. She knew their libido is more of their primary thoughts, then killing anything on site. She felt somewhat empathy for what was going on, and considered how wrong it was.

A part of her knew the necessary numbers she needed to defeat her, in any means.

For now, she will keep an eye on the enemy, while having the women and children to escape if things go south.

To be continued….

A/N: As you can see, not much to look into, just getting all of the characters ready for their meetup.

This is the moment for Bell to get an idea what kind of enemy he will face. Well, part of it. Soon, he will get to know Volt, both as the leader of the mercenaries and the monster that he really is.

For now, we will leave it like this and we will see what expects the next chapter, until then take care.
