67 Night Attack and Surprise.

'Asvarre has invaded Brune with 100,000 men while I have 35,000. My army is divided in 25,000 elites and 10,000 conscripts from the territories that I captured. I'm currently away from the border and my army isn't moving. I have received multiple messengers, from the nobles that have territories on the border, requesting help, however, I have given them the same answer. I am sick, so my army cannot move. If the one commanding the army is sick, then the army can't move. This is a lie, obviously. I am just waiting for Asvarre to conquer those lands and kill the nobles in them.

After they do that, I will come in, defeat them, and takes the lands for myself. I am in control of most of the north-west, the thing is... most of the north-west is not enough. I want everything. I can't have those annoying nobles on both of my flanks, and since I promised not to get rid of them, I will just use my enemies to do the dirty work for me, and after that, I will comes back as a hero.

While I hate heros, being one is beneficial on the current situation. With the title of hero, I can get the citizens of Brune to comply to most of my requests, instead of resisting my rule.' I nodded to myself. 'For now, I am waiting for information from my spies. I want to know who is the General of such an army, and how he acts.' While I pondered, a woman arrived in my tent and gave me a letter.

I picked it up and read it. "Interesting, I can use this." I spoke to myself before I turned to her. "Summon Koku and Ou Ki." She nodded before she disappeared.

After a few minutes, Koku and Ou Ki arrived in my tent before they knelt.

Looking at Koku, I decided to give her a little quest. 'I will give you 5,000 men. Stop the enemy's advance as much as possible."

"There is no problem. It is what I specialise on." She said with a smile.

"No. I don't want you to destroy their will. I want you to look like you are in constant loss. Act like you can lose at anytime." I told her.

"Why? My King." She tilted her head.

I aproached her and lifted her chin. "I need you to do it. It has to be you." As soon as I said those words, blood began to fall from her nose like a waterfall. "I will do it for you, my King." She said in a dreamy voice.

Ignoring her bloodloss, I turned to Ou ki. "I will give you 25,000 men. I want you to build a defensive fortress that suits your taste. Your job is to stop their entire army at Bunker Hill."

"Kokoko. So I have to stop an army that is 4 times the size of mine, in a small hill?" He asked.

"What? You can't do it?"

"On the contrary! I can't wait for it. I feel sorry for our enemies!" He exclaimed.

"Good. I will lead my 5,000 elite troops myself." I said.

"So, you are going to use them, my King?" He asked.

"It is time for me to use my Winged Hussars." I announced. 'I created an elite cavalry that I myself trained. I named them the Winged Hussars. It was a way for me to honour the Polish Hussars.'

"You are dispersed." I told them.

Following my command, both of them left the tent. Soon after, Machi appeared behind me. "What is it that you are planning?"

"Fufufu. Nothing much. Just a replica of the battle of Okehazama." I smiled.

"Nii, take me with you." Shiro pleaded.

"Not this time, Shiro. Puppy eyes will not work on me again. I can't. I will not let you follow me when I charge with my cavalry. If I did, I woud be putting you in unnecessary danger." I kissed her head. "Tomorrow we will meet again." I told her before I left the tent.

Turning to a nearby aid, I said. "Get me my horse."

One day later.

Ou ki's army fought fiercly against the Asvarrian army. While the Asvarrian's suffered huge casualties, they didn't care. They just kept throwing more men into each charge, and while Ou ki has fortified the entire hill, he is still facing difficulties. They have managed to breach his first defensive wall, and are on their way to the second.

He may have lost 2,000 men but the enemy lost at least 10,000. However, they are not afraid of losing more, after all, this is the last army that stand between them and the north of Brune. If they get pass them, then they can plunder and destroy anything in their path.

The Asvarre army was already celebrating their victory before they even had won. While they failed to take the hill on the first day, they were confident that in the next day it would fall. But in the middle of the night, there was an army that was preying on them. Like a hunter in the shadows.

(Oemitsu POV)

'I have marched with personal army across the mountains in the west of the battlefield with only one objective, attacking the main camp of the enemy. According to my information, the Asvarrian General has placed his headquarters in the middle of a mountain. West of Ou Ki's hill.

The Feneral goes by the name of Nelson. He is a perverted freak from what I have heard. He likes to fuck women and has constant orgies in his main camp with his soldiers. This behaviour is tolerated by the King of Asvarre since he is good at warfare apparently.' I analyzed.

Soon enough, the entire encampment came into view. Women and men were drinking and fucking everywhere. The sun had already gone down, so they probably didn't expect an attack in the beginning of the night.

'Night attacks in the medieval times were rare and risky. If you are not careful, you will lose your entire army in the middle of the enemy's army. Right now, my entire personal army, numbering 5,000 thousand men, is on a higher ground, so we have complete view of their headquarters.' At this moment, I lifted my sword up. "CHARGE!!!"

Like that, I jumped headfirst with my horse down the mountain.

"FOLLOW OUR KING!!!" My aid said as he followed affter me.

After a few seconds, the entire army charged down the mountain. Before the soldiers in the headquarters could realize what was going on, I had already broken through the tents of the headquarters, cutting and slashing anyone who was in my way.

'This is the feeling. The feeling of war is beautiful.' I rejoiced.

Any poor soldier that comes in my way is either cut in half, or send flying with my shield. My soldiers were right behind me killing their way in, together with me.

There is no time to decide who was women or men. Anything in our way must be killed. That is how I trained them. Where their King points the sword, they kill. There is nothing else in their minds.

Turning to my left, I moved my sword and decapitated a soldier before using my strings to cut another soldier in three at my right, and my horse trampled over a poor soldier. "Good boy. Forward! Let's go get that General's head!" I told him, and he increased his speed.

It doesn't matter how many formations the soldiers create in front of him, they got ran over by my horse, while I just used my sword to kill the enemy soldiers.

They are way to drunk to defend themselves, most of them are still confused by all the confusion that is going on. In one second they were enjoying themselves, in the other, they were getting charged by a cavalry army.

Now, only flames remain on the headquarters.

After galloping a little, we finally arrived on the main tent, just to take it down with my horse. The General came out of it, confused.

I placed my sword on my shoulder. "Any last words?" I asked the still naked General.

"You bastard! I was still enjoying myself!" He exclaimed.

"Fufufu. So, even in death you still only think on women, huh." I shooked my head.

(BE CAREFUL HE HAS A CRYSTAL!!!) Nyar yelled to me.

'He is too weak to have a crystal.'

I galloped in the direction of the General and cut his head off. 'See rather easy to deal with.'

(He is still alive). She said.

"What?" I asked while I turned around.

When I did, I saw the General's body turning into some kinda of deformed mouse.

"I will rape you! I will rape you!" He said.

'Is there something wrong with his head?'

(He isn't in control. His deepest desires took over. He is obcessed with sex, so right now, in his mind there is only sex. It doesn't matter who it is to him.)

'What an unsightly appearence. He has dirtied my sacred battleground. War was meant to be a conflict with soldiers fighting soldiers, struggling to keep their lifes. There is nothing that gives me more pleasure than killing my opponents, however, he is a complete disappointment.' While I disgusted the monster, he dashed at me. "Huff. Requiem Zero."

As I said those words, his entire body froze, together with the entire battlefield around me. 'Nyar, for someone who got possessed by your crystal, he was way to weak.'

(He was possessed by a Racial Crystal.)

'Racial Crystal?'

(That's what I said. Some of my crystals can change a persons race to some of the races that I created or were lost with the passage time. If he had actually mastered such race, then he would be able to conquer this world rather easily, and you wouldn't be his opponent.)

'What race is the one that he changed to?'

(Probably an Incubus. A problematic race that was devastated with the combined effort of many other races, since they had the ability to charm other men's women. The more sex the Incubi have, the stronger they become, that is why other races had to unite themselves to finish with the Incubi. However, it also has its drawbacks. If you don't have sex every single day, you will grow weaker until you die. If I am completely honest, I would rather not have you absorve the crystal.)

'Why?'

(I have to be the one who will take your virginity!)

"Huff." I shook my head and got out of my horse and got near the rat's ice sculpture I made.

Then I placed my hand on its chest before I cut through his chest with my hand and took the crystal from inside him. With the crystal in hands, I thought. 'I will have to think more if I want to use the crystal or not.'

After this, I got on top on my horse. "The enemy General's dead, retreat!" And soon enough, my army dissapeared into the night.

5 days later.

'After the death of the Asvarre's General in my hands, their armies fled and were hunted down like dogs by my army. Out of the 100,000 men, only 10,000 managed to return home. While I only lost 5,000 men, and managed to capture 50,000 soldiers. I am still unsure on what to do with them. I can't release them nor I can execute them all. If I do it, then enemy armies will stop surrendering to me.' I shook my head before I decided to focus on what was currently happening. 'After the retreat of the Asvarrian army, I pushed my army deep into their lands, right now, we are sieging Maliayo, one of the biggest cities belonging to Asvarre.

We have been sieging it for 3 days, however, we had little results. The city has gotten supplies from ships since it has access to the sea, however, I don't have any ships, so I can't do anything to stop it. The only thing I can do is storm the city. However, it is too costly in terms of manpower.

It looks like I will have to act myself.' I got up from my seat and turned to my Generals. "The siege has been going for too long. I will break the gates. Have the soldiers ready to flood in the city." None of the Generals questioned me and simply knelt. 'They are probably frustrated from not managing to capture the city without the my direct interference.'

I dashed to the walls and stopping in front of the gates. When I looked upwards, I saw a huge amount of arrows flying in my direction. They were so many that it blocked the sun. "Overheat." I stretched my hand and from my palm, a burning string came out.

I whipped it at the arrows and it destroyed most of them. I ignored the rest of the arrows since it was not going to hit me and looked at the gates. I focused my Nen in my fist before I punched the gate, breaking it open.

The soldiers of both armies saw as the gate broke down and I simply entered. The enemies were trying to figure out how did a single man just destroyed their gate so easily.

"Follow the King!" My soldiers yelled before they flooded inside the city.

'What followed right after was a complete slaughter of the garrison of the city. This was a great acomplishment. I not only destroyed an army 4 times the size of mine, but I also managed to push deep into enemy territory and capture one of their main cities.

However, I still feel empty. I still feel that I haven't enjoyed the true pleasure of war yet.' I looked at the sky. 'What is this feeling?'
