Crusader King, Chapter 6

After finishing the paperwork that made me want to burn some more people alive in seeing several slaver owners on the mayor's previous payroll, I first made Artoria real metal plate armor, disregarding her complaints of how much it restricted her.

As I could use my elemental abilities to literally sculpt the high quality steel I looted from the armor of the previous knights I had killed that were scum serving the previous city lord.

And with her plate armor, that had a number of spikes across it, even if she got bowled over. Her would be fat bastard assaliant would be impaled upon the spikes. 

"Artoria, you will gather these merchants that escaped the net of the City Lord's purge. Take ten of your Knights of Rose with you as well." I ordered as I put together a small pack of supplies for myself.

Artoria nodded with a sullen face as she obviously wanted to go with me as Castorice all but preened, as I named her second in command of the Knights of the Rose with Artoria not countermanding the order.

As Castorice, and fifteen of the remaining thirty Knights of the Rose Order would be coming with me into the tunnels underneath the large hilly valleys that separate the kingdoms of Ur and Feoh.

With the obvious goal of slaying the goblins, the goblin shaman especially, and of course the bandits. And of course rescue the women, and young boys that both forces had taken into the said caves.

"Artoria, I need you to be here to keep any spies within the city unaware, the rest of us will be leaving under cover of darkness through the underground tunnels the rest of the bandits use to get in and out of the city." I spoke and then added.

"Not to mention I want you to deal with those merchants as well tonight. Gather them up, and they will be in the city's jail until we await Princess Alicia Arcturus's own forces to arrive in the city." I spoke firmly while folding my arms over my chest.

As I was made a Viscount and was very up there in the nobility levels, I knew that my actions were going to upset a lot of people with fingers in this city as Anarchia was a city that connected the kingdoms of Ur and Feoh.

"Yes master, I will bring the corrupt merchants to the city's prisons... What am I do with the hoarded wealth they have hidden?" Artoria asked quietly and giving Castorice a look who wore a blank expression for a moment before she responded.

"Obviously our lord should claim that ill-gotten treasure! To fund his own efforts in ruling he must have his own funds obviously!" Castorice spoke empathetically making my lips twitch.

After a moment of thought, I spoke in a measured tone. "Divide up twenty percent of the money, and half of any magical treasures found and secure them in the basement of the Raging Boar Inn. The owner of the Inn is on my side."

"The rest of the good's will serve as evidence and proof of the merchants deeds to be provided to Princess Alicia, and then Princess Prim Fiore when we return to the kingom of Ur." I finished.

Then I took a breath and finished firmly. "This is also a trial on your side Castorice... I will not see you be taken down and be impaled on some goblin dick lest you be replaced as Vice-Captain. You understand?" 

Castorice nodded firmly with her holding a hand to her ample chest that was covered in leather armor as she refused to wear plate mail and I accepted her compromise as apprently she was a talented archer.

Which was a bit racist of myself but she did have elf blood in her as she had rather pointed ear's to be fair.

I exhaled and then looking between the two women, I spoke with finality. "Any questions about the plans for tonight?"

There was a pause as they considered things, then they looked at each other and then back to me and Artoria asked with literal hearts in her eye's. "Will you spend the next afternoon with me my lord?"

I held in a twitch at the need in her voice and just gave a slight hum before saying. "Before you think of me folding your legs behind your ears and filling your womb with my seed. You should worry more about accomplishing the mission you are given Artoria."

The blond hentai knight shivered with need and want. Her thighs literally quivering in my view. But... Those pink glowing heart pupils filled with me a chill in my bones as the pink turned a bloody red and she spoke softly. "Oh course my lord. I will accomplish your demands without fail." 

"May I be excused to begin the operation? With the merchant's being purged... I mean collected, that will give you and the rest of the knights and opening to leave the city. With several carts to bring back any goods and people." Artoria spoke coldly.

I was silent for a moment before slowly nodding and gave her a soft wave of the hand. "Go then. I will see your efforts when I get back early this morning." 

Artoria bowed her head and I heard her steps filled with purpose as she left the room with the door clicking shut leaving Castorice and myself alone in the room.

And with us being alone I looked to Castorice and ordered. "Get the knight's ready. We will go in the cover of being slavers ourselves being there to pick up stock using the Mayor's carriage."

Castorice blinked at my orders and then nodded knowing well what I wanted with myself adding on that all her knights needed to wear cloaks and such to cover up their beauty and new leather armor at least while we approached.

-

'These hentai knights are still useless.' I thought with a wry smile as their idea of 'concealment' in using cloaks was wearing tight silk-like cloaks that clung to their forms and showed off their curves.

But I didn't say anything, they would still serve their purpose and they were armed with short swords taken from the guards. As I knew that trying to swing giant great swords meant for large orcs and like would go terribly underground.

But sitting in the ornate carriage with Castorice who was wearing her new tight-fitting leather armor was an all-new challenge as the mentally 'broken' half-elf or whatever she was, sat beside me and leaned on my shoulder slightly.

Whereas Artoria was mentally shattered after being a total failure at every turn presumably even before I came around, and came to latch onto me as some sort of redemption for her constant failures. Castorice and many of the other knight's latched onto me for being their saviors.

The wrathful noble who slew their oppressors who were forcing themselves on them in the last few days with little effort. And would continue to protect them in the future.

For the girls who went from being stretched out on a five-meter plus tall orc cock and then being drugged and forced into a gangbang train by a group fat ugly bastards... I was literally an angel to them.

"My lord, this ride to the caves will take at least an hour. May I entertain and prove my devotion to you as Artoria did?" Castorice asked in a hushed voice and with a flush in her elven pointed ears.

"You do not need to do that Castorice." 

And Castorice didn't miss a beat before she answered with a small smile. "I do not NEED to do so my lord. But I wish to. I wish to be of use to you, I wish for you to use me... You saved me from a fate worse than death twice in but one day after all." 

Those fates being the gang bang she was in, and that spider that was going to seed her with countless eggs when she got snatched up... Which to be fair, if I was poisoned and knew I was going to have thousands of spiders eating their way out of my body?

Yeah honestly, I would latch on hard/be extremely thankful for whoever the hell saved me from such a fate.

So with a begging big titty 'elf' begging to serve me. I did what was natural and just nodded with Castorice smiling beautifully and she shifted from leaning slightly on my shoulder and her head falling into my lap.

'There is almost no such thing as a bad blowjob when the woman actually wants to do it... It's just kinda interesting how each woman does it.' I mused to myself as Castorice's blowjob was that of worship and slow but very deliberate motions.

Whereas, Artoria's was of obsession and trying her hardest to pull an orgasm out of my balls without causing me any discomfort. While Grace was such a submissive that her blowjobs were me using her mouth and throat to give myself whatever pleasure I damn well wanted.

Hence with Castorice's form of blowjob, I just relaxed nominally and let her pleasure me as I kept an eye out of the one-way tempered glass windows leading out of the carriage to see if I could catch any bandit's coming for us.

After reaching an orgasm, a few minutes later we were stopped. With lantern's coming to life around the road and large spiked walls on wheels being pulled in front and behind out caravan with a loud male voice roaring out.

"Come on out ya lordship! We see ya bearin' the honorable city lord's colors so ya in good company haha!"

My expression was cold as I got out of the carriage and I saw the knights sitting on their horses wearily as their cloaked forms took in the two dozen men who were armed with... Sadly good weapons showing the damned amount of support they had gotten.

Including four men who had large crossbows which were held down but clearly loaded with large bolts meant to pierce through armor.

The leading man who had called out to me was on his own horse and he was a brutish man. He was eight feet tall and seeing the slight color discoloration in his skin. I knew instantly that he was a half-breed. The spawn of some foul orc, or otherwise repugnant being.

And looking at his mashed-in face that had dozens of scar's across it... I could say very confidently he had a face, not even his own mother could ever love!

"I seek to buy pleasure slaves for me and my peers for my inauguration as a Viscount! And the wise city lord told me that for gold and silver you would be able to supply me my toys and any more toys I decide to buy in the future when I break my old ones!"

The man paused and he seemingly realized I wasn't just a fat sheep he should butcher for a bit of meat. No, he clearly saw me as a golden goose he could 'take care of' in order to get lasting support and supplies.

The man grinned and I held in a grunt of disgust at his blackened mishappen teeth filling his mouth. "Aye ma Lord! I can do just for ya haha! I even got a new special surprise if ye got the coin for the bitch haha!"

I kept a calm expression but I then snapped my fingers which signaled one of the cloaked knights to bring a large bag filled filled clinking coins that I took and tossed onto the ground in front of the bandit with gold coins sparking off the lanterns lights.

"That will suffice as a buy in I believe." I said in an arrogant drawl, and the man laughed and with no shame got on his knees and scooped up the coins saying.

"Aye ma lord it will do haha! I like the way you speak, so come with us. We will make sure your carts are filled with fuck meat for you to break in the next couple of days if you still got the coin!"

I went back to the carriage and sat at the front behind the horses besides another knight and we had alreadly discussed everything with the rest of the girls. And as the bandit's led us forward, I saw several other bandit's in little way stations along the side road we were diverted towards.

And once we entered a large valley, I saw what was obviously an old mining town that had been abandonded had been brought back to life with the previous homes and buildings that made up the mining 'town' filled with the couple hundred bandits.

As the underground tunnels were the domain of the goblins and other monsters and the human scum were obviously trading the captured women. To the goblins for ore that was then sold to the City Lord to line his pockets.

"Come here to the jail cells my lord, we keep our stock in here so they can't escape." The leader of the bandit's spoke with him putting his hands together with joy as I motioned to another cloaked knight to grab another bag of coins that was silver coins instead.

"Show me your wares." I said with disdain clear in my voice as I turned my nose up at the foul scent of unwashed bandits and suffering pervading the damned mining town.

And in unison the knight's spread out a bit from the caravan while he led me into the prison and he spoke with joy. "See, we have thirty bitches right now... All not entirely broken yet I promise, but we have one special prize we haven't touched yet. As we wanted to sell her directly to the City Lord... But with your great personage here. I am sure you would value her more!"

My face was impassive as I looked into the metal cages that filled the two story jail and I saw that the women and young boys inside those cages and behind the old bar's were more on the mind broken side.

Clearly they had been used for some time and their minds had just... Left their physcial forms obviously.

'Could I fix someone mind broken? I already saw how Castorice and Artoria just slightly mind broken latched onto me... Could I use their already shattered minds and put them back together with purpose in mind?' I thought.

As this was a feudal world. There weren't any social programs, mental hospitals, or literally anything like that. If I brought fifty odd mentally shattered twinks, and women back home to the Ur kingdom.

Princess Prim Fiore, although likely to be sympathetic woudn't create a whole new social system to 'attempt' to put them back together.

From what I had gathered... When nobles or whoever tired of their mind broken toys. They would often just feed them the 'Soup of Eternal Sleep.' Which was a soup made from a large quantity of poppy leaves that would just put someone to sleep.

Forever.

And in most cases, I imagined that most people seeing other mind shattered people in these times would just give them a mercy kill to put them out of their misery.

The leader however took me upstairs and I saw that the cell's were 'nicer' in that a dozen people weren't shoved into a single cell and they actually had room to lay down properly to stare brokenly at the ceiling.

"There, you see that gem." He said with a wide grin and I could smell his foul breath with how close he was especially. But seeing his stubby finger pointing at a particular cell, I raised an eyebrow.

As sitting within the cell was three elves, one with silver hair, another with blond hair, and another with black hair. All of them were wearing dresses but all of them were rather torn, and the silver and black haired slightly more mature elf woman's eye's were dull from obviously having been abused.

But it was the blond haired elf girl that truly caught my eye.

She still had a light of defiance in her eye's.

So I smiled and looking at the bandit who grinned obviously expecting a massive payout at seeing my smile. His smile turned to confusion as I said quickly. "Blood splatter says what?"

And he obviously said in confusion even as I marshaled my power. "What?" And then I back handed him with my fist at full speed and strength, but my entire body had been turned into tungsten.

And a human sized lump of tungsten moving at max speed a normal human... Had a lot of mass and force behind it with his head making a loud crunching noise as my fist passed through it completely.

The man dropped to the ground, and I looked to the two knights who shed their cloaks and at seeing me kill the man and knew that now it was time for us to get to work.

"Kill anyone not one of the knights or a woman coming into here... We are purging this camp." I said coldly as I flicked the blood off my hand and I made my way out of the jail with the two knights I left behind acting to secure the prisoners so they coudn't be used as hostages.

Once I went outside I then shot out the signal in a fire ball that went into the air and then screams rang out as the Knights of the Rose fell upon the bandits with zealous fervor. Their sharp, short swords made purposefully for the killing of fellow humans cleaving into the unarmored bandits who wore thickly padded clothes at best for armor.

Meanwhile, I went for the actually armored bandits who were in the guard towers and having several crossbows. And those watch tower's didn't amount for much when they were lit on fire when I sent large exploding fireballs into them.

Then it was just a dirty slaughter at that point... I coudn't focus on any one kill, or battle as none of the simple human bandits could hurt, let alone kill me when I had turned my body into solid fucking tungsten and just threw lightning and fire balls at anyone.

One important thing to note however, was the fact that in myself blowing up the guard tower's. I had also basically turned the one entrance into the mining town that was surrounded by large wooden stake walls into a flaming wall of hell so the bandit's coudn't even flee.

The bandit's threatened the Knights of the Rose! They begged for mercy! They cried out in tear filled sobs of despair.

The Knights of the Rose? There was something broken in them now. After being gang banged, choking on orc cock, or likewise being impaled on such a thing... Or in a couple of other's being snatched, or almost being snatched up by giant spiders.

They had no mercy, they had no interest in the cries, the begging, or pleas of the bandits. It was almost mechanical if not for the clear martial skill they had with their swords as they chopped, sliced, and otherwise butchered the bandit's down to a man.

As these knights were 'elite knights' of Princess Prim, they all had access or at least touched upon the local life force reinforcment method that made them super human to a slight degree.

Sure I myself could deal with them, even Artoria was easily dealt with as I could prevent her from moving and it didn't matter how super human you were. When you had a very susceptible to lightning, nervous system.

'Doesn't matter if you are Captain America... You still drop like a bitch when you get stabbed with a taser!' I thought with a ear piercing boom ringing at as I punched a lightning bolt through a bandit's chest who came at me with a pickaxe.

And with that, the camp fell into an deadly silence that was only filled with the sounds of the dying gurgles of the remaining bandits. "Is anyone injured?" I called out firmly and I saw one of the knight's stride forward with staggering steps and she spoke in a pained hiss.

"My lord, I have a bolt in my arm from an archer." She said and looking at the bolt that had already been removed with part of her cloak being tied onto the wound. I think that would be fine, though to be sure I made sure to wash the wound with pure water I could summon up to clean it out.

Then a couple more knights came forward who had small cuts at worst from being outnumbered before the bandit's truly lost all bravery and just ran around aimlessly.

"Alright! Castorice, you take the heavy crossbows from the back of the carriage. Deal with the bandit's on the outside with five more of the knights. I am going into the caves to look for the goblin tribe." I spoke firmly as I realized I truly did need more people if I was going to be doing noble things and purging the evil and depraved.

Castorice saluted and then I ordered the remaining knights to guard the large tunnel leading into the caves as I went into them.

I took a large wooden torch covered in burning pitch along with a burning lantern I strapped to my side as I headed down into the dark tunnels as I wanted all the light I could have. 

And for a moment, I was lost in the uneven tunnels heading god knows how deep into the earth. Until in the shadows of the lantern and the torch, I found the path. There was thick cart tracks, scratches more like where a cart was dragged across the uneven ground down into a specific tunnel.

Clearly the months if not years of sending dozens if not more women into the caves led to the goblins getting complacent and just leading the heavy carts carrying the women straight down into their lair.

And not even five minutes later, a shriek rang out as from above me dropped a goblin from some hidden crevice that landed on my solid metal form and his stone dagger shattered upon my shoulder.

"Bad goblin." I grunted as I grabbed the small green nobbly faced freak by the throat and then it screamed as I gave it the Goblin Slayer treatment by shoving the burning torch into its face.

Then as the goblins screams died out as it's airways were burned out and it's eye's a melted mess. A soft meaty crack rang out as my metal hand squeezed mercilessly and it's thin neck was crushed in my hand.

"A good goblin stays in it's hole... Shit that doesn't work with those scum bringing women down to the goblins." I muttered with a frown as I kept moving and then as I made my way deeper into the hole, I realized the walls were starting to be covered in luminous moss.

Which thankfully lit up the tunnels with some thick shadows in the crevices although, but I just kept moving along the main path for the next couple of minutes until another goblin came out from a shadowy crevice I behind me.

And it's dagger of rusty metal was grabbed in my hand before a loud crunch rang out as I just punched it's head inwards. As I could hear it's plapping bare feet on the stone as it charged for me.

Then after a bit more walking I found... A couple hobgoblins? Standing guard in front of the exit of the tunnel leading seemingly into an atrium.

"Uhh! What you want humie?" The hobgoblin demanded and and looked past me seemingly trying to see my goblin guide or whatever.

But I just put on a smile. "I got a bunch of women for your tribe! I need to speak with the Shaman for the price of ore for them though." 

The hobgoblins paused at my words and then they grinned making me inwardly roll my eye's at how fucking easy they were to play as the hobs said happily. "Come humie, we has rotgut and milk from the bitches to drink." 

I followed the two hobgoblins into a larger tunnel and I saw down a side tunnel was my querry as the goblin tribe wasn't that expansive... Or they just didn't dare to keep their breeding tools too deep lest something worse from the underground snatched them up.

I saw probably fifty-something women bound in chains with the stakes pounded into the walls of the cave and the woman were all in various states of use and very abused... Something told me, that for a number of the women in there. A mercy kill would the best thing for them.

But still I took in my surroundings and saw that there was probably twenty hobgoblins which were goblins that came up to my shoulders in comparison to the normal goblins that only came up to my hips barely.

Thankfully there weren't any goblin champions or other higher tiers of the monster.

But the two quickly brought me to a hide tent that had a large bear's head mounted on the front of the tent and as we approached I could hear choked moaning as the Shaman was obviously 'busy'.

"Chief! The humie have deal for more bitches!" The hobgoblin called out as he poked his head into the tent.

The moaning paused before turning into a squeal of pain and then a moment later, I saw the Shaman himself stride out buck naked and I realized why the girl inside of there screamed as his dick was covered in fucking spikes.

That one glance was more then enough... So I just looked back up to the shaman who carried a staff covered in skull's and other voodoo-like icongraphy, and before he could say anything. I just stepped forward and before he could react I punched him in the throat with a wet crack ringing out as his throat was crushed.

Then I smashed the two hob goblins heads together with a brutal crashing noise as my body enhanced with the durability and mass of tungsten made their heads break open with green blood splattering everywhere.

With the two hobgoblins dead, I looked at the Shaman who had dropped his staff to hold his neck... And without hesitation, I stomped his head into the ground before shooting a bolt of lightning that hurt my ears especially into the staff to destroy it.

"Now... Time to go Doom Slayer on your asses." I spoke and seeing the mass of goblins come out of the breeding pit and the side area's I controlled the stone floor in my view and with a loud cracking noise.

The floor turned into spikes that shot into the air and hoisted up the screaming horde of goblins on countless spears that held them up in the air.

"Don't fight an elementalist while standing on stone filled with trace metals." I spoke coldly as I decided to just leave the goblins there to bleed out and get stuck there in Vladamir Tepes style.

'Now I need to get the carts down here... Probably with some water barrels I can pressurize to wash those women off.' I thought with a sigh as I knew the hardest part of this whole trip was coming now.

As moving thirty to fifty mentally shattered women who had been used as breeding sows for goblins was going to be... Difficult to say the least.
