Chapter 12
"All of you… Don't think you can get away with this! You're betraying us!?"
The Orcs holding Chloe merely snorted in contempt before forcing the young dark elf to her knees.
"What have you done? Y-you insolent fool!" Chloe continued.
"Augh! "Then the orc behind her pulled the chains keeping her captive. Forcing her to look at her captors who had invaded her home.
She looked at them with hatred in her eyes.
" Doing something horrible like this… you're a dead man! No, you're a corpse! Die, just die right now!"
The young captive dark elf ranted. Her anger consumed her at the sight of the arrogant man sitting on her Queen's throne.
Said man merely looked at her with an arrogant smile, looking down on her like some kind of animal. He sat on the throne of the Dark Tower lavishly as if it was his own.
"No… No… What a healthy girl you are. Your impatient attitude is kind of like someone else's." the man on the throne pointed out. "But, you know? It seems you don't even know what kind of situation you're in right now." he chuckled.
Chloe's eyes widened in alarm as an alarming number of mercenaries came out of the throne room's shadows or pillars. Each one of them is eyeing her like a piece of meat. A chill crawled into her spine as the mercenaries licked their lips hungrily towards her. Especially Hicks who smiled maliciously at the dark elf. He had a huge cut to his face courtesy of Chloé.
" They've wanted to screw you badly, you know? After you killed a bunch of them, they wanted some payback." the man continued. He then chuckled as he found the look of horror on the young dark elf.
Their invasion of the Dark Tower went smoothly. Kin, the man currently standing beside him, easily tore through the barrier protecting the tower and easily wrestled control of the orcs with the Pantielle jewel. Using the orcs, they easily overpowered the Dark Queen and her loyal servant before taking some casualties.
"No…. No way!"
Then a cruel idea came to mind from the man on the throne. He stood up, the light of the burning torches illuminated his face. It was Vult of the Black Dogs.
You're still a virgin right? Oi, Hicks gets the Dark Queen. We'll give her a live show of her servant's virginity being taken away by us. " He ordered his Lieutenant. A cruel smile on his face at the idea he had.
" On it, boss. " Hicks happily left to get the imprisoned Queen.
Chloé can only wait in helplessness as her fate has been decided.
" Oh how far I had fallen. Defeated and Captured by a bunch of dirty mercenaries. Not by the Church or their Crusaders but by a bunch of filthy MERCENARIES!
The Dark Queen, Olga, lamented in her cell. She was immediately imprisoned in her own cells after her defeat. Her staff was taken away, leaving her powerless. Now, she's nothing more than a harmless dark elf.
She cursed the humans who invaded her tower. She cursed the human mage for taking away her minions, and she cursed their filthy leader.
Suddenly, her cell was opened. The smirking Hicks greeted her.
"Oi, Your Majesty, you're needed at the throne room. " he mocked her.
Olga can only grit her teeth at the insult. Alas, she is powerless without her staff.
She was promptly escorted by Hicks and his entourage, laughing and snickering at her. She didn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her react. She walks with her usual gait, strong and prideful. But to the mercenaries escorting her, her gait is sensual and teasing.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived at the throne room. Here, Olga was greeted by the sight of loyal servant Chloé, chained and helpless. She gritted her teeth as she looked at the man who had the gall to sit on her throne.
" You will not break us, Human! " Olga exclaimed in defiance.
" Ho? " Volt raised an eyebrow at her sudden declaration.
Suddenly, Olga's staff was ripped away from Kin with an unknown force. It flew back towards its rightful owner's hand. It then lit up ominously with dark light. A spell brewing in its core.
" Take cover!" Hicks screamed as he and his fellow mercenaries dove for cover. Some had hidden behind the stone pillars. Others went flat on the ground, protecting their heads in the process. Meanwhile, Kin projected a magic barrier to protect the throne.
Not soon after, dark lightning enveloped the area. With a flash, all of the orcs in the room died instantly. Their bodies fried from the attack.
Kin lowered the barrier after Olga's last-ditch attack, letting Vult see the aftermath.
" Hahahaha! You are broken now, My Queen. HAHAHA!" Vult laughed at the sight of the Dark Queen, on the floor panting and heaving in exhaustion.
Olga can only grit her teeth in anger. Her last effort to kill them merely killed the last orcs she had. The mercenaries meanwhile had all survived. Their experience in the badlands made them paranoid and quick to react to any danger, saving their lives in the process.
Vult continued as Chloé went towards her Queen. She pulled her in a hug for comfort as the King of Mercenaries loomed over them.
" Hahaha! That was a good performance, my Queen. But it ends here. " he sneered at the two helpless Dark elves. " Be grateful because the two of you will be the start of our empire!" he gloriously spread his arms to his mercenaries and they roared in agreement.
" What!? " Olga said confusedly.
" The two of you will be the start of our Sex Empire, with you out of the picture, I can start our revolution to bring down those bitches to where they belong. Under us, to pleasure us to our hearts' contents." Vult exclaimed passionately.
Olga can only look in horror at the surrounding mercenaries.
They intend to enslave all women!
She thought in alarm. She and Chloé are in a bad spot right now. If they don't leave, they will be defiled.
" Alright men, our journey culminates at this moment. So take your reward, and claim it as yours. " Vult said.
It became the signal for his men to take action.
" Noooooooooooooooooooo! "
Olga screamed in terror as she held on to Chloé tightly. Sadly, the mercenaries pulled them apart easily.
" Olga-sama! "
" Chloe! "
Soon, greedy hands roam all over their bodies. Touching them all over their bodies. Their small clothing was soon ripped apart by them. Their sensual bodies were exposed under the lecherous gaze of the mercenaries. Their cries of terror echoed in the room as the mercenaries swarmed both of them.
" No! "
Olga screamed as the mercenaries pulled her legs apart, exposing her pussy to them. Soon a mercenary had positioned himself, his filthy cock slapping on her crotch.
" How lucky, I get to take your virginity " the mercenary lecherously laughed as he lined his cock on her entrance.
Olga can only close her eyes for the inevitable.
I'm sorry, Chloé
She thought in shame for bringing the same fate to her most loyal servant.
*Crash*
As the mercenary was about to enter her, a very huge crash echoed in the tower as it shook from the impact. It interrupted them all, surprised at the sudden event.
" WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? " Hicks yelled in surprise.
" Are we being attacked!? "
" Oi, what was that!?"
Chaos ensued as their paranoia went into overdrive. Their experience is telling them that it was no ordinary attack.
There is only one supposed to be here. There are no monsters left in Olga's forces and the barrier protects them from any predators of the badlands. What is going on?
" Kin?!" Vult looked at his mage for explanations.
" I don't know what happened, Vult. The barrier didn't detect anything. It must be from the inside of the tower. " Kin said with a frown on his face. The barrier had alarmed him of any intruders, therefore the attack came from the inside.
" Hicks, go check it out! " he rounded at his Lieutenant.
" What the hell, I'll miss the fun! " Hicks protested. He wanted revenge on the bitch who cut his perfect face.
"Just do-! " Vult's next words are soon interrupted by the sound of clapping.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
The slow clapping sound came from the open entrance of the throne room, a figure hidden under the torch's light.
"My, my. What a dull ambition you have, father. Here I thought I inherited my ambitious self from you but turns out I had Mom's superior genes whoever she is. " the figure said with a mocking tone.
" Who the fuck are you?! " Hicks shouted at the stranger. The man is clearly not one of them.
Olga And Chloé curiously peeked through the gaps of mercenaries around them to see what was happening.
Meanwhile, a bead of sweat ran down on Vult's face.
Impossible.
" Oh, screw you by the way. Who kills someone in their sleep and then just buries them? I didn't find it funny, Hicks. " the hidden figure pointed at Hicks with indignation.
"No way…" Hicks whispered in shock as he realized who it was.
" Yes, way! " The stranger walked out in the light to reveal himself.
It was Mika.
" Miss me, father? Mika mockingly gestured.
"Father? " Olga mouthed confusedly. She is not the only one as the mercenaries started to see the resemblance.
Holy shit, that is boss kid?!
That scout was his son.
Dayum, the boss has a son?
He impregnated someone!
Boss fucked a dark elf before!?
The mercenaries clamored at the bombshell dropped on them.
Meanwhile, Vult looked at his supposedly dead son in shock. He saw the dead body. He should be dead.
" Ho-how are you still alive!?" he screamed in anger as he sat up from the throne.
He can't let his son destroy his plan, not now that he is almost there. He had wasted years upon years in planning and gathering power and it will not be wasted by his own son.
Seeing his father's shock and anger, Mika smirked.
" Because fuck you, that's how. Really a sex empire? That's the dumbest plan ever. Not only that, the entire Eostia will fight against you if you try that shit plan. But with how confident you are, I think you already had a solid plan. So let me guess what it is. '' Mika said as he started pacing.
Vult humored him as he started thinking about what his plan was.
" I think this is your plan. For years, you gained a reputation and rapport with powerful people all over the country. That's when you saw the opportunity to start a revolution. But you need support so you got your big friends to support you. They rejected you because it's not worth it. So you made up a plan. A plan to capture the Dark Queen Olga as proof to your supporters. They will see her and you will gain their support. Revolution comes, yadda, yadda, you win and you come to power. The Sex Empire is just a bonus. "
" Am I right, father? "
Mika smiled maliciously at Vult dismantling his entire plan.
He's my son, alright. Vult snorted.
" You're right. All of what you said is right. That was the plan from the start, you see. It should be just a revolution against the Goddess but those fuckers cannot see what is happening." Vult explained.
" They don't see how the Goddess has destroyed our lives. Her so-called Knights, those bitches have become so powerful they no longer see us men as equals. We are just seen as trash. I can accept that, I'm a man who can take care of himself alone. I don't need women but then they did it. Those bitches came to power and the entire country went to shit. Feoh is now a festering corpse full of corruption, same with Rad. Those bitches the Goddess gave power is nothing more but a bunch of glory-seeking whores. They can't even see how their own kingdom is slowly dying under their noses. Oh, don't get me started on Prim. That bitch put a fucking child into power. A fucking child. Does she even know what she is doing? What's worse is that she let a foreigner take Thorne. Fucking Thorne. That's one of our fucking kingdoms and she just gave it to a foreign bitch! And you know what's worse? All of the slavery and corruption eroding our country can be traced back to the church. The same church that worships the Goddess's own shit if they would. So that's why I'm here, Son. I'm here to change the country, to make history, and bring back order to this goddamn country. So I gathered power and got some huge friends at the top. Did you know how easy to fucking convince these guys just by promising them pussy. The Sex Empire is just a bonus when I become King. Because when it does, I will have the entire country under my control. "
" So tell me, are you with me or not?"
At the end of his speech, his mercenaries are left crying and in awe to Vult's passionate speech.
Boss is so manly!
We will follow you, boss!
Down to the bitches!
Screw them bitches, homie comes first!
Meanwhile, Olga and Chloé awkwardly lay down on the cold floor, trying not to get attention to the crying mercenaries.
" Men. " both of them thought with indignation.
Throughout Vult's rant, Mika finally knew who is.
A disgruntled man who didn't like the current state of the country. A country so deep in trouble, it needed a huge upheaval to fix the problem.
Mika understood him. His powers saw it all. Vult's anger, passion, and ambition. Lust is just an afterthought, a means to an end.
Eostia's current state is bad. Corruption had run rampant with its inept leaders. Celestine might be a Goddess but she is nothing more but a figurehead. She can do nothing to all the followers she had who abused her name for power.
So that's why Vult did all of this. To rule Eostia under his tyrannical rule. Such extreme measures are exactly what the country needs right now. Under his tyrannical rule, the church would be abolished. Stripped of their power, they will become a non-threat and will be trialed for their crimes. The nobles meanwhile will be put under control, their movements limited and monitored. If they somehow step out of line, Vult will have the authority to cull them.
Mika can only laugh in his head at the ingenious plan Vult had. Using a Sex empire to start a revolution. What a wild plan it was. Sadly it contradicts his.
For his question though;
"I refuse. " Mika answered.
Vult frowned.
" And why is that? " Vult snarled at him.
" Because you wouldn't be king, I am."
The sudden proclamation made the King of mercenaries blink in confusion. As seconds passed by, he tried to process what his lost son had said, then it dawned on him.
" Hahahaha! What a fucking joke! The son is already stealing the throne from the father even if he is not king yet! Hahaha!" Vult laughed at the absurdness of the situation. His own son, stealing the throne before he can even sit on it. What a joke.
Mercenaries laughed with their captain at the absurdity of his son. They laughed for a long time all the while Mika didn't show any reaction. Upon seeing this, Vult's mirth died.
"You're serious?!" he looked at Mika in alarm. Mika merely nodded in return.
" You see, father. Your plan kinda sucks. I don't want a bunch of old nobles getting on my nerves you see and I want all the corrupt people gone from our country. Your plan was good, I'll be honest but it will affect many of my good friends negatively with your Sex Empire thing, so sorry. I had to kill you here and conquer Eostia myself." Mika said with a bright smile on his face.
Vult and his men didn't like that.
" *snort* So that's your plan to stop us huh? Kill us all here and then conquer Eostia for yourself? " Vult said as he looked at his son in disdain.
" Yep."
" Well, your plan had a hole in it."
"And that is?"
" Did you think you could kill us all alone?!"
Vult roared as his mercenaries went into action. They pulled their weapons, preparing for a good fight. If Mika is the boss's son then he is a good fighter himself. It will be a long fight.
The two naked dark elves were forgotten. They both then took their chance to hide behind a pillar to watch the carnage and find an opportunity to escape. They didn't pity the poor son challenging his father.
" Well, it's the first time I get to kill the same man over again. " Hicks smiled as licked his daggers in anticipation.
Kin meanwhile shook his head at Mika's foolishness. He should have just accepted Vult's offer to be on his side.
Seeing them prepare for a fight, Mika can't help but laugh.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Look at him going crazy, he must realize how helpless he is." Hicks mocked.
Then Mika spoke.
"Did you not hear me? I came here not to fight you all but to kill every. Single. One. Of. You." he said as he faced the mercenaries with a malicious smile.
His next words sealed the fate of the mercenaries.
"Barbatos"
*CRASH*
A huge dust cloud exploded behind Mika as a gaunt figure slammed down behind him. Mika didn't flinch at the sudden arrival.
As soon as the dust cloud disappeared, the mercenaries watched in horror as they saw what was behind him.
What stood behind him is an amalgamation of a knight and beast. It stood taller than the orcs by leagues. If an orc stood beside it, its head would just barely reach its chest area.
The monster's body is covered in white armor with red and blue highlights. Its face mimics a knight's stoic face with ominous green eyes. It had four wicked golden horns. It looked sharp enough to gore a man in half. The beast's arms are strong and powerful, covered in thick plates of armor. Its hands had razor-sharp claws as fingers. Its legs, unlike its humanoid appearance, were shaped like a Lycan's. Powerful and durable, it looked like it could crush a man in its foot. Said armored foot had two golden claws.
What is worrying is that the monster had a giant sword that looked like a mace in one of its clawed hands.
*Gulp*
"Barbatos, kill them. "
They shit themselves.
Well, most of them that is.
The first one to die is Kin.
Before he could even react, Barbatos' main weapon crushed the mage as it was thrown by the Mobile Suit. His entire torso was instantly gone as the weapon had crushed his upper half, leaving behind his lower half as proof that Kin once existed.
"Kin!" Hicks screamed at the sudden death of his friend.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Hicks looked back at the monster again as his men screamed in anguish and pain. He shouldn't have.
Barbatos had one of his men over its head. Grasping at the man's feet and arms, Barbatos pulled. The man's body was pulled in half, spilling blood and viscera all around.
"Attack! " a manic Hicks ordered as he charged at the metal beast. His men followed in turn to avenge the dead.
It was a slaughter.
Left and right, Barbatos swiped with his claws. The mercenaries screamed as they were dismembered, maimed, or flat-out turned into a mist of blood with each strike from the Mobile Suit. Some had tried to sneak behind it but Barbatos' tail blade met them, stabbing them to death. They screamed and fought.
But it was no use. They died without scratching Barbatos' armor. Blood and gore scattered around the throne room. All of the mercenaries are dead, save for two.
"Ragh!" Hicks screamed as he charged Mika. If he kills Mika, maybe the monster will stop.
But before he could even reach Mika halfway, his skull was enveloped by a huge clawed hand.
He shit himself.
Slowly, the clawed hand turned him around to face the monster who was crouching behind him. Hicks cried in panic as he faced the monster's stoic face. Its green eyes had turned red at some point, giving it an ominous look.
That's when he felt his skull being crushed.
"Nonononononono, I beg you! I don't want to die! I want-" his begging was cut off as his head exploded in gore.
So Hicks died begging in his own shit.
Throwing the headless body, Barbatos stood at full height to face Vult.
Vult meanwhile is frozen in shock and fear. Shocked at the sudden development and fear of what his son had brought. Just looking at the monster, he can see that it was some type of ancient golem for no modern golem could look and move at such humanlike characteristics.
Gulping in fear he spoke.
" So… Is this where I die now?" he said in resignation.
"No. "
?!
"What?" his answer shocked Vult.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked the scout in confusion. He had killed all of his men and now he's letting him go.
"I'm letting you go." Mika simply said with a smile, enjoying Vult's look of confusion.
"Why?! " he screamed.
"Father, it's because I can't conquer Eostia without a war. I'm letting you live so you can go home, warn the bitches and prepare for war. That way, I can properly conquer Eostia."
This arrogant piece of shit! He is really my son!
Vult snarled in anger as Mika revealed his reasoning. It was demeaning and shameful. To be left alive just to be a messenger for those bitches.
But he must accept it. Olga is defeated and with it comes the support of his big friends. He will come home and gather his forces. And when the time is right, kill his son. This time, permanently.
Slowly, Vult walked. He passed the golem who slaughtered his men, passed Mika who gave him a pat on the back.
He went out of the Dark Tower and was greeted by another surprise.
The entire barren land of the Dark Towers territory was filled with golems. Each one is in differing sizes and colors. But they all had the same traits.
Dangerous.
"You like my surprise, father. That's my army waiting to conquer Eostia." Mika gestured to the army of Mobile suits spanning across the horizon. " Make sure to make it like I'm the biggest bad guy, Father," he said as Vult started walking away, the Mobile suits letting him pass by safely.
Mika then went back to the throne room to address his next problem.
" Now, what will I do for you two? " Mika said out loud as Olga and Chloé peeked from behind the pillar they were hiding.
Both of them are too afraid to move as Barbatos is still in the throne room.
Barbatos meanwhile curiously watched the naked Dark elves. Its gaze frightened the poor elves into hiding.
Suddenly, the sound of GN engines echoed from outside of the tower.
About time.
The WHITEBASE has arrived.
