{Emperor’s Diary}
The battle went as planned. In fact, our romp in the inn made us nearly miss the entire thing. I knew sex was tiring and draining to a degree, but my legs felt limp and my body was more tired than I expected. Maybe it was because I pushed myself to try and impress my lady. In any case, the plan worked. I unleashed the free slave bomb while our infiltrators kept the gate open in order for our army to advance inside. In fact, the plan worked too well. When our liberation forces came over to us in the central auction square, the freed slaves were attacking us. Perhaps, it had to do with the fact that I was still alive. I had to release a wide area stun as soon as reinforcements came in order to subdue the numbers around us. Even then, this heart of a lion ba****d managed to get to me and engage my lady directly. He wore no armor, but the broad sword in his single hand was larger than my whole body. I already had a level four curse on him, so any more would kill him.
“Rend, world’s end.” (Empress)
Unlike before, where my lady cut the physical body of that hero in half, there was only a small gash on the lion beastkin that she was fighting, but that also left nothing between him and me.
‘This is how the proud beastkin thank their liberators? Have you bothered to look around and see how many people are trying to keep you from killing me?’ (Emperor’s mental link to lion beastkin)
The blade stopped just short of landing on my face, then a bead of sweat fell from my brow. As my lady was in no position to stop him now, she backed away as many lizkin were ready to charge at the lion beastkin the moment my life ended.
“Is that so? Are they so loyal to you human that they will seek their deaths by my blade after I grant yours?” (Lion Beastkin)
The lion beastkin then laughed loudly before lowering his blade.
“I lost a lot of energy attacking you.” (Lion Beastkin)
I nodded in response, then looked at my lady, who immediately understood. Not even a minute passed before a healer sat beside me.
“So, who are you human? What makes you turn your back on your entire race?” (Lion Beastkin)
I looked at him, then blinked before speaking through telepathy.
‘I see you’re familiar with telepathy. You look like you’ll understand at least. I’m an outworlder, or someone that humans call a hero in your terms. I had what I would like to call an acceptable life, until I was forced here from my world and turned into a slave.’ (Emperor’s mental link to lion beastkin)
The lion beastkin laughed out loud after hearing my answer.
“Ha, I knew that humans did something to some individuals to gain such strength. To think they would go to such lengths.” (lion beastkin)
I smiled slightly.
‘You can call me Emperor, as that is my aspiration. One day, the entire world will know of me and fear my name.’ (Emperor’s mental link to lion beastkin)
The lion beastkin then laughed again and slapped his knee.
“Hahahaha, a weakling like you. Boy, you better go home to your mother’s breasts with dreams like that.” (Lion Beastkin)
He then suddenly froze, as my lady had her sword to his throat. He stopped talking soon after.
“Mock my mate again, and I won’t hesitate to make you eat your words.” (Empress)
I looked at her, then I slowly nodded to signal her to pull back.
She reluctantly did.
“To breed with a dragon1dragonspeciesnewt. I sure did pick the wrong human to fight today. So, what are you going to do with me, so called Emperor? I obviously attacked you, and I refuse to serve a human.” (Lion Beastkin)
I then closed my eyes for a moment to think.
‘By the way you act and how skilled you are, you’re obviously not a normal individual. I bet that you’re a high ranking person for the beastkin nation to the south. That’s likely your destination at least. We will later provide a map and give you further details of our plans. It shouldn’t be too hard to meet up with others that have been freed. We plan on raiding several more locations before arriving at our final destination. Of course, you’re free to stay. You can set up guidelines to those fleeing toward the south, or join them yourselves, but anybody that’s willing to follow us, we’re forming our own empire with them.’ (Emperor’s mental link to lion beastkin)
This time, he didn’t laugh because he took my words seriously. What I told him puzzled him. He couldn’t understand. After a moment of confusion, he made up his mind.
“It will take some time to organize all the freed slaves. Let’s work together in the meantime.” (Lion Beastkin)
He extended his large paw, so I grabbed it. It almost seemed like he was grabbing a child’s hand.
“Third legion commander Leonard, at your service.” (Leonard)
{Narrator}
The siege of Virocant city. The empire’s first pair’s debut to the nations of the world. The siege of this city was well planned beforehand, as it’s a city that’s built upon the backs of slaves. It also has the largest market of slaves on the continent. Boasting a city of forty thousand people, over eighty percent of the population was slaves. This is the place where the vast majority of the two’s forces came from the south and the north for their reeducation as slaves. The plan was quite cunning based on the standards of the current nations. It will later be called the empire’s blitz maneuver. There are three parts total to this plan. As with the previous raids, the emperor and the empress will invade the stronghold looking to purchase slaves along with the fourth division as their guard.
In this instance, it was in the guise of a noble looking for an army to join the fight to the south. As they find the strongest supporters they could, those of the third division will lead a force of over one hundred and fifty into the city. With their tattoos back on them to show that they were still being controlled, the subjugation force wore armor to cover theirs. Without a proper commander to lead them, and the need to warn the city about what’s going on about the strange rebel forces, they will be welcomed. Not a day later, the third group, or the second division, will lead a direct assault on the western gate. The first division consisting of mercenary slaves and adventurer slaves will arrive beforehand and lay in wait throughout the city as reinforcements and information gatherers.
