Ch. 48 Arkland War ⑤ Guardian of the Gate
With a thunderous roar the bolt was destroyed, the gate opens.
"Overrun them!!!"
A cavalry with a long spear sticking out came running out.
To let yourself become the enemy's base and just standing there and watching, you traitors! I'll kill all you townspeople. Just like how the past rebellions were suppressed, the townspeople were coward and sneaky. The feudal lord who only has a few troops can be punched to death in a group, when we come he will be crying and begging for his life. Needless to say, it wasn't granted a single time.
The battle during the day ended with an unwilling result but I will go wild here while avenging myself. Let's settle this quickly, break through to the enemy headquarters and complete the mission.
"Something is weird?"
The landscape spins vertically.
Then things turn black.
He did not notice even until the end that his head was dancing in the air.
"The first two people!"
The two units that came through got their heads blown off as they stood in the way. Also continuing I pierced their horses with a straight thrust from my spear and pulled back as they fell over. The fallen soldiers had their heads crushed, the horses had their necks snapped to finish them off.
I feel sorry for the horses but the corpses rolled in front of the gate, and they can no longer run at me while on horseback. I don't have to worry about them leaping over an obstacle of this height.
"Who is it?!" "Clear the path!"
He's noisy so I throw the dead soldier's spear at him to shut him up. Words are unnecessary. I'm going to kill you guys so you guys should also try to kill me. It's quite simple isn't it?
I cut up the soldier who tried to get in somehow while still riding his horse. They lowered off their horse, with their spears at the ready trying to pierce me to death but I use my Dual Crater to cut up all the spearheads. The heads of the dumbfounded soldiers were cleanly sliced in half.
I did everything possible. I twirled my spear, swung my sword, and threw the dropped weapons.
When about 30 of them were turned into corpses a bolt pierces my shoulder. It seems that someone aimed at me with a bowgun from outside the gate. A sharp pain runs through my body but I can still fight.
I pull out the bolt, I crush the face of the soldier who came running at me thinking that it was an opening and once again bolts came flying one after the other. But I won't be eating those so easily the second time. I grasp my loak and bring it in front of my body. Although it's a cloth that might not be able to block arrows from a bowgun, this one is a special one, things like arrows will not go through. I check the hole in my body.
It's deep, blood is flowing out but it's not an organ. It's not like the blood is squirting out either so I'll be able to hold on for a while.
I'm becoming more of an adult so I take my sword and spear and once again rush in.
I open my cloak and swing my spear, a sound like bursting and four sounds of a person falling over, then something broke off and there are three sounds of something dropping. There is one short? When I checked I saw that there was some resin so it lost some of its sharpness so the last person's head was cut only halfway. It's too gross so I use my hand to twist it off.
"I'm still not dead yet? What should I do?"
I laugh while holding the thing I twisted off in one hand.
"Bowguns! Move forward and kill that monster!"
Guys without courage. I throw the head, and once again use my cloak to stop the bolts.
It's a hellish scene where sweat and death are dancing. But being in the middle of it doesn't feel too bad.
A spear stabs my leg. In return I use my sword to pierce his head.
He thrust the sword into the gap of the crushed armour. In return I split his body in two.
My wounds increase one by one, but the heart calms in proportion to the amount of blood flowing out. I calmly check my body. I already have wounds all over my body but I still have yet to get a fatal wound. I can still fight.
A certain certain comes forth and names himself as some knight, but I can't hear anything. It has been through many fights and clashes through these long years, but its limit came and finally my spear broke. My heart is calm, but I'm sad because one of the things that connected me to Lucy was broken.
The knights seem to be elated with success but I don't know what they feel like they won. He was hurting my ears so putting together my resentment for my spear, I thrust the broken spear into his neck and he became quiet. Forcing the broken metal pieces into him definitely looks like it hurts.
I put force in my leg. I pull the Dual Crater out and take my stance on the upper stage. The enemies close in on me as I cut them down consecutively, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…all the way to about 20. I am out of breath and my vision is going dark. I may have lost too much blood.
I can't die yet. I haven't fulfilled my promise with Lucy, there are women in the mansion that adore me and will let me do as I wish. It will be a waste if I die here.
"Wh-what are you doing?! 1500 steel spear cavalry are being pinned down by one person!"
"But captain! He has already cut down 100 people…"
"You should go! Go forward and cut him! The reward will be whatever you want."
"No way! I can't possibly!"
Was it 100 people? Just 1400 left and it feels so far away.
The pathetic knight that his superior told to charge in was split in half.
"Was that…101?"
When I laughed, the enemy knights and their followers slightly fell back.

Central Army Campsite Army Commander Main Troops Eirich
"Let go, let go, let go, let go!!!!!!"
The emotionally unstable girl is being held down by Agor the adjutant. If he lets his hands go then she would quickly head towards the town.
Those guys in the third division mixed battalion went under the command of the main troops. If they were left on the battlefield they would still have an important role to fulfill but his follower, a little young but she's also his lover. Her temper tantrum is in quite a terrible state.
The night battle initially pushed us back because of the effectiveness of the surprise attack, but right now it was developing in our favour. The enemy along with our allies were exhausted after the battle in the daytime, so the difference between our army, which has rested a little bit, and the enemy who had to prepare for the continuing night attack, is showing.
Clearly the enemy soldiers are out of breath due to the fatigue. But this should not be out of their expectations, the enemy hopes to burn the town and have the steel spear cavalry attack us from behind.
With the town burning, the confused mass of soldiers will be rushed by the cavalry. It should be enough impact strength to finish things off.
For the time being the long spear squad will hold them off but to the 1500 of the heavy cavalry they will be nothing but paper.
But they didn't come.
If the town has fallen then they would at least burn a torch and fly the Arkland flag on the town wall.
It's not something that a single man could hope to stop. In the time that he bought, we are closing in on the enemies.
Surely he can't be saved. That's natural, if he could survive by himself against 1500 cavalry, then that would make him the reincarnation of the god of battle or the demon king. His sacrifice will not be in vain. If we can crush the enemy main forces first then they won't be able to burn the town and the victor will be determined.
"We'll go from the right wing. Concentrate your arrows! They should all be flaming arrows. Burn the enemies while lighting the place up."
"Quickly! If I don't go quickly he'll die! Aegir-sama will die!"
The battle continues, Celia's sorrowful screams ring through the night sky.
————————————————————————————-
"15…2? Or is it 153?"
It's hard to keep count while continuing to fight. I retaliated for the spear that stabbed me in the side but I couldn't pull it out, and my body has been pierced with several bolts. My right leg has been slashed and I can't move it as I want.
If they all come attack me at once then I won't be able to block it all, but there is no use worrying about that. The area surrounding the gate already has corpses piled up to my waist, it's becoming a place that is quite hard to run through.
"Um…! Us too!"
Behind me the residents of the town are gathering. At first I thought that I was going to get stabbed from the back or something, but seeing as if the steel spear cavalry got in they would also get killed they wanted to cooperate with me.
But I refused them. There is nothing that they can do. If I pulled back and had them protect the front of the gate then it would be easily broken through.
To stop 1500 cavalry you need to do so in a tight space. If they get out in a wide space then there is nothing you can do.
I call over a woman who was holding a stick and looked like she was about to cry.
"You don't have to worry so go back home and sleep. When my wounds heal I'll pay you a visit at night."
Not missing the chance that I turned to face backwards the enemy soldiers came at me.
"Not being able to move my leg is inconvenient!"
I grabbed my sword and let him pierce his own throat on it, continuing with the second and third person, I slash them away.
"Er…156 was it? There are still so many."
When I look up the sun was about to rise. If I were to look at it from above the walls of the town it would be quite beautiful without a doubt.

Central Army
"Raise your shouts for victory!!"
"Ooooooooooooh!!"
The Arkland soldiers ran and scattered. The soldiers who continued to fight despite their fatigue have finally reached their limit.
It was a small scale collapse, though the escape spread in a flash to the whole army, the enemy gave up on gaining control and chose to at least withdraw orderly.
But Eirich is not so nice nor incompetent as to let that go. The central army moved in all directions for a full power attack on enemies in all locations, defeating them, chasing them down, hurting them severely.
He wanted to pursue the enemies that have retreated, but chasing the enemies that have run away may lead to the enemy camp which is dangerous, also there are high-value targets still remaining.
Having destroyed the enemy main forces, I was thinking about how to deal with the rest of the matter and I want to eliminate the steel spear cavalry right now.
I gave the orders to each squad to head to the town but when I did so Celia and Agor jumped on their horses and gave them a kick.
"Follow me! I'm going to help the battalion commander!"
There was nobody who truly believed that he was still alive. But as such Celia will be the only one who will dive in there.
Celia is the mascot of the first division cavalry company. There are many who think that she is nagging, and always trying to seem tall on her tiptoes but also see it as cute. If I let her die under my nose then it would affect a man's pride.
Following the girl the whole army moves. We have already picked up the win. What is left is to see how pleasant this victory will feel.
"What do you mean by that?"
In front of the town walls, a dumpling of steel spear cavalry was made where the gate is located. There were many, probably over 1000. They should have been occupying the inside of the town already but they are still outside.
"They have still not been let into the town…and that means that he is still alive!"
The cavalry coming from the back realizing that started to increase their speed.
They have suffered loss and were less than 100, but it was significant that they appeared. It means that the Arkland army has suffered defeat and the arrival of the reinforcement caused the steel spear cavalry to panic. Soon a few thousand infantry units appeared, and it went into an all-out brawl.
Because of the huge dumpling made in front of the castle gate they were not able to form their battle lines as they wanted, with each one trying to be first it caused chaos when they started to retreat, a spear was thrust from the side, and the infantry swept the horse's legs to cause it to fall over.
Without even giving a glance to that scene Celia rushed to the gate. Around the gate there were corpses piling up such that vision could not see pass them, and her horse also lost its balance and flipped over.
As if it didn't hurt when she fell off her horse she crawled over the corpses and entered the town.
And then she found it.
With the entire body wet with blood, he was using the enemy spear as a stick to support him to stand. The sword he was gripping was the treasured sword of one of the woman that he lives together with.
"Ae-Aegir-sama?"
He was standing but his eyes are not opening. Fearing the worst she rushed over to him but he rubbed Celia's ass when she hugged him.
"You're becoming more like a woman…maybe it's about time I eat you."
"Saying something like that right now, whenever, I am.."
While still hugging and enjoying the soft sensation of the sobbing girl, the man lost his consciousness.
—————————————————————-
"Ahh Miti Im sorry. I spilled a little tea…could you wipe it for me?"
Wipe it yourself! And what's more you spilt it on the carpet!
"Miti, we ran out of sugar, can you go out and buy some?"
Don't tell me when we just came back from shopping!
"Miti, I want to try on some new clothes, could you support my breasts a little?"
They're too big! Even using both hands they're too heavy! What did you eat for them to become like this!
In the evening time when the preparations for dinner were done, Miti has also finished cleaning and was taking a break in the kitchen. She was voicing her complaints about Nonna-san with a dejected face.
"Nonna-san, she really hates me doesn't she. I don't remember doing anything bad to her either."
No, Nonna-san doesn't really feel anything towards anybody except Aegir-san.
"It's alright~ Nobody hates you Miti. Everyone knows that you're a good kid~"
"Uu~ I love you Maria-san. I'm not good with Nonna-san, or rather I dislike her, she's too mean~"
Well, Nonna-san is also not a bad person, but maybe she just hasn't lost her attitude as a noble. I'll also let her know directly. But first I need to remove this internal conflict.
"Miti, are you alright for tonight? Will you come to my room when everyone is asleep?"
"Yes? I'll be fine, but what happened?"
I chuckle while reassuring her and telling her it's alright, she'll surely be surprised.
Later at night
"Good evening~ Sorry I'm disturbing you so late."
"I was the one that called you after all~ Well let's go."
Miti wonders where she would be going as she tilts her head, I pull her along by her hand and head towards Nonna-san's room.
"Eeeh! If we go at this time then she'll tell me a bunch of things…"
"Don't worry about it, since it's Nonna-san's turn today. Put your ear to the door and see."
Miti timidly places her ear by the door, her hand comes up to her mouth and she turned red.
"Maria-san! Inside is!"
Today Nonna-san is getting affection. If you stay quiet even without putting your ear against it you could hear Nonna-san's moans.
"I think Nonna-san's body is undergoing foreplay. If they were going at it for real then her voice wouldn't be like that."
Her voice is surprisingly loud second to Carla-san.
"Why are you showing this to me?""
"Ufu, Miti was peeking when it was my turn right?"
Miti instantly turned red.
"No wa-! Something like that!!"
"If you make such loud noises they'll realize you're here~ You should watch carefully that Nonna-san also has a cute side~"
She's denying it but she is already quite used to opening the door without making a sound. It seems she has quite the experience with it.
Once the door was opened Nonna-san's voice is getting louder.
"Look, right now they are becoming one~"
"A, amazing. She's leaning back so much and screaming…"
"Nonna-san has gotten on top"
"Her irritatingly large breasts are jiggling. Ah she sat down."
Actually since a while ago my eyes already met with Aegir-san's. I pointed to Miti and smiled and grinned. He's surely putting on a show for Miti.
"Arara, she's being lifted up."
"He's going to do something like that too!? Nonna-san hasn't said a word."
She has been only raising her voice. And if that is done then it'll be about time I think.
"Watch carefully. Nonna-san is about to become cute soon."
"Eh? What will…ah!"
Nonna-san screams and spasms, she loses her strength and became just like a puppet.
"That is, that right?"
"Right, get on top and get filled up, but it won't be over until Aegir-san is satisfied~"
He further goes at Nonna-san who was limp like a puppet. Nonna-san is still getting fucked but whether it was her instincts, her arms and legs remained entangled.
"Give me, a child, a baby"
She was mumbling incoherently and repeating it over and over. She really wants a child doesn't she.
"It's just about time."
"….."
Miti swallows her saliva, her eyes couldn't look away.
Aegir-san also makes it so that everything could be seen from over here. His movements stopped. Aah, right now he is in the middle of pouring his seed in her.
"Maria-san, that is that thing right?"
"Yeah, right now, he's implanting his seed~"
Because Aegir-san is amazing. It will take 30 seconds.
"Nonna-san, is she alright?"
"Yeah, she is actually the happiest person right now."
After everything was over Aegir-san fell asleep in the shape of the 大 character. Nonna-san came to her senses and was cleaning up the precious tool.
"Look, isn't Nonna-san cute when she's desperately servicing him? Normally she has a sarcastic side, but if you look at her like this she's just a woman."
Miti whispered in a quiet voice.
"That is only when she is in front of the man she loves that she flatters him, isn't that ill-natured?"
"Did you say something?"
"No, it's nothing! That aside, for me I'm scared of a man's thing…No matter how I think about it it's impossible! My hole for example will explode for sure!"
"Aaah~ That's because Aegir-san's thing is quite special. Normal guys have things about half or maybe a third of that."
That's according to Melissa-san, since I can't really compare since I haven't seen other guys.
"I-is that so!?"
"Yeah, and also the amount of seed coming out from normal guys will not expand your stomach that much either. As a man he is quite an amazing person~"
If the first one you see is Aegir-san's then if you see other people's then she'll probably be disappointed. Or maybe she will join us just like that as a part of our group?
"Hey Miti~? Have you thought about becoming Aegir-san's woman?"
At this point, why not ask her clearly?
"Eeeh! I don't know about something like that. It's a little scary"
But it's not like she dislikes it. If she's like this then she might be ready to eat tomorrow. Aegir-san doesn't seem like the person who prefers little girls, but since coming Miti has been rapidly growing up, and is already one of us.
Miti is getting restless and seems unsatisfied, like something is missing. Is it because I'm here that she can't do something very important?
"Well I'll be going back to my room. Don't stay out too long."
"Ye-yes ma'am!"
"Also, one more thing. I'll give you something you can use against Nonna-san."
I bring Miti's ear close.
"No way! You do something like that!? Carla-san would laugh at me wouldn't she!?"
"Ufufu. Well goodnight then."
I think you should have waited until I got to my room before you lowered your underwear though…
The next day
"Miti! The tea leaves are running out. Didn't I tell you to buy these?"
You didn't say that. That and the fact that the amount decreased so quickly is because you are chugging it. But today's me will not stamp my feet in frustration. Because I have a powerful weapon.
"I'm very sorry. Yesterday I was cleaning the area around the mansion and it took up my time."
"Cleaning is a daily routine isn't it? To make such an excuse, you should be saying 'oh I'm terribly sorry for making such a blunder!'"
Nonna freezes.
"It was scattered around quite terribly, probably from the window. It was not past noon when I saw it."
Nonna who was red down to her neck took her empty cup and pretended to sip from it by putting it to her mouth.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask you to come along with me to go shopping. I have something to do now!"
Nonna quickly scurries off to her own room.
"Like I said, it was so much that people could see! It was Aegir-sama that did it! Being embraced had nothing to do with it!"
"What are you on about, mumbling like that it's disgusting. Has it gotten to the point where your brain is controlled by your breasts?"
Nonna disappears while ignoring Carla.
I won, I finally won! That nasty woman is destroyed. I'll be drying the laundry in the best mood.
While spinning a basket full of laundry I exit to the garden. The sun is nice today, let's increase the number of rotations.
"Ouch!"
I collided with something and I tumbled around. The basket landed steadily and somehow the laundry didn't spill…over…
In front of my sight was Celia-san who was flipped upside down. Right next to her was the master who was smiling bitterly, they were probably practicing their sword in the garden. It seems that I fell enthusiastically because something bumped into me from behind.
"Owie…be careful!"
Celia-san shouted, but she has yet to realize her own situation.
"Your cute butt is showing."
The master points out while laughing.
That's right, while I was holding down my hem her short pants including her underwear was pulled off to show off not only her smooth and shiny little ass, but even her genitals could be seen.
"Ts-!!!"
Celia-san quickly covers herself and turns red. Of course, right after…
"How dare you…how dare you embarrass me in front of Aegir-sama…you won't forget this…"
It was because the master was there huh, her angry voice was moderate but it was the angriest she felt since now. It has just been one thing after the other, it seems that it is far from becoming peaceful around here.
