Chapter 31: Senshire

Senshire. Capital of all the Order of Ilias. One of the last bastions of Humanity in these increasingly dark times. Tall walls and towers surrounded the city and unlike that of Lescatie all the roads were paved, houses properly built and the streets were clean.

Unlike most Order kingdoms Senshire prided itself on an educated and clean populace. Something quite rare indeed. As a result people in Senshire lived longer and more of the population could dedicate themselves to work other than farming or other labors usually overseen by peasants.

Samson, Alice, Henry, Johnson and all their respective troops were approaching the outer wall. The Earthlings were in awe at the sight. Sure compared to buildings and architecture on Earth it was small fry. But it's not every day you get to visit a magical kingdom.

However, one just doesn't simply walk into Senshire. As our heroes found when they approached the massive steel gate. Multiple soldiers, dressed in the symbols of the Order, quickly surrounded the group.

After a quick explanation from Samson the soldiers let the group through. The Earth soldiers were getting stares from both soldiers and civilians in the medieval city. It was quite amusing to the Earthlings.

Eventually they made their way to a small castle. It wasn't a palace by any means but from the banners to the noises of fighting and training they were obviously at the city's barracks.

"You two and your men can stay here while Alice and I speak with our superiors. Here this should allow for my men to not bother yours." Samson said as he gave Henry and Johnson a stamped piece of paper.

And with that the hero and his Valkyrie rushed off leaving the Earthlings and Samson's soldiers. The pair made their way to another castle close by to the Senshire Barracks. In front of them stood a white stone wall with gold highlights. It put all but Castle Makai to shame, with its beautiful architecture, terrases and so much more. It was truly fit for royalty.

Samson and Alice were quickly led inside the castle, specifically the throne room. The big and ancient oak doors were opened to reveal a beautiful sight.

The great hall was flooded with color from the stained glass windows. The large blue rugs trimmed with gold led down to a pair of thrones. Both were wood with gold highlights and silk padding. The pair who sat upon them were the most powerful Humans in the world.

To the left sat an older man. His head was lacking hair with the exception of a scruffy beard. He wore some thin, yet expensive, robes over some armor. On his back lied an impressive and deadly greatsword. His eyes were earth brown, surrounded by a few wrinkles. This was King Peculiar of Senshire, the great-grandson of the hero who killed the previous Demon Lord

To the right sat a woman roughly ten years younger than the king. Her blonde hair reached down to her upper back. Her green eyes were just the beginning of her remarkable beauty. She, like Peculiar, wore thin robes underneath a blacksmiths apron. She was Daisy of Senshire and wife of Peculiar.

Samson and Alice bowed briefly before the royals before explaining the situation. It took almost an hour before they finally finished.

Meanwhile back at the barracks the Earthlings were settling in. They had gone and met with most of the Order soldiers who inhabited the place. Most were nice enough if a little fanatic. They were very fascinated in the Earthling's weapons. How easy it would be to take out (most) Mamono with a single shot. That got many of them excited. Some of the Earth soldiers let the Order ones try out their guns.

Meanwhile Henry and Johnson were waiting for Samson and Alice to return. It was an understatement to say that they were nervous. Johnson knew what he had to do as a Green Beret, but this was still a whole new experience.

A couple of hours after they had arrived a courier had arrived at the barracks with orders for Henry and Johnson to accompany him back to Castle Senshire. And so they did, taking care to begin to map out their surroundings. Sure they were buddy buddy with the Order now but things can change. Especially when it comes to religious fanatics.

Finally the group arrived at Castle Senshire, specifically the royal hall. There they saw Samson and Alice as well as the king and queen. The pair took a respectful bow before the monarchs.

After being introduced to King Peculiar and Queen Daisy negotiations and an exchange of information began. The Order told of the current status of the war and gave the Earthlings maps and agreed to meet with the UN as soon as possible. They also agreed to help the Earthlings get home after they explained how they arrived. Meanwhile the Earthlings told the royals much of Earth, it's history, people and current situation. They also agreed to assist the Order while they were still here but would be forced to back off if ordered by their respective governments or the UN. Earth wanted to see if a peace could work.

They talked for hours and hours. Eventually Henry, Johnson, Samson and Alice were invited to join the royals for dinner, which they accepted.

Dinner was, to say the least, amazing. The American and Brit were shocked on how fancy it was. Even in a medieval castle the food was fancier than a lot of five star restaurants. Unfortunately for the warriors years of eating simple rations had made their stomachs weak to rich foods. Alice meanwhile didn't eat anything. Considering that she was an immortal Valkyrie eating didn't matter to her.

After an hour they finished and thanked the royals. The continued to discuss matters till the late evening when they were finally able to leave. The four warriors made their way back to the barracks and crashed hard, except Alice of course. Most desperately needing rest after the problems they've had over the past two days.

However they were unaware of the situation they would soon find themselves in. Miles and miles away, in the Demon Realm of Lescatie, Primera Concerto was speaking with a group of Kunoichi warriors. The Kunoichi were elite warriors gifted in the art of stealth. They were usually sent out in order to turn key Humans to the Demon Lord's side by "assassinating" them. However today's mission was something new.

"How barbaric! How could those Humans do something so horrifying. All those Automatons and Dark Elves wanted was to find a husband to love and service them and what do the Humans do!? They massacre them! Do not worry lady Concerto we will make sure to bring them to you. They will be excellent cum-pumps for are more aggressive allies."

Primera chuckled and spoke. "Your ambition and drive are great however this is Senshire, the security there makes old Lescatie's security look like child's play. You MUST be careful. And be on guard for these Humans are armed and trained unlike anyone from the Order. BE cautious."

And with that the Kunoichi raced out of the castle in Lescatie and into the moan and sex filled streets of the city. Eagerly chasing down their prey.
