Part 5- Summer
Xiong Fei
The captured commander had given up after just one night with the monks of the Fire Sun. Very understandable considering the screams coming from the tent. The information she gave was however better than anyone expected. The Second Princess, Mei Yan, had marched west with everything she had. The forces she left behind were only meant to delay Duke Hatak’s rebellion, not stop him. They weren’t to engage in battle, only delay the men till Mei Yan finish off her older sister. Too bad the choice was taken away from them.
So here they are. The procession travelled slowly though the streets of
Rosewood. Taking the capital without a fight was quite anti-climatic for the
men but no one was complaining out loud. Or at least none of the men were
complaining, women were no doubt complaining. If they could!
Xiong Fei can’t help but laugh at his own little joke as he stood on his
chariot. A four-wheeled human-drawn vehicle used for travel, it was drawn by
men who would pull the vehicle as their mistress whip them to greater effort
from behind. That however was in the past! Xiong Fei crack his whip again at
the two women pulling his chariot. Defeated soldiers from the Bright Army, they
were now used as the ones who would pull their conquerers into the city. It was a brilliant idea. It was a sign to all
that times have indeed changed. Xiong Fei did not know who gave the duke the
idea, but whoever it was, he should be promoted. A procession of chariots
through the streets of Rosewood, men pulled by the female soldiers they had
just defeated.
A show for the city and it was a good one! Lining the streets of the road
were the smiling and cheering men of the city. Once word came to the city that
the duke had defeated the army outside Rosewood, the men of the city rose in
rebellion. Without any trained soldiers to quell the disorder, men use their
superior size and strenght to overthrow the women. It was embrassingly easy and
soon it spread like wild fire. Within one day, men were in control of the capital
and the city opened it’s arms for the duke. Laughing out loud, the wizard crack
his whip as he drown in the cheers of the city.
Tian Lung
The bamboo cane swish across the air. The sound it made as it hit the tits of the female was pure music to Tian Lung’s ears. He had decided to rename the female commander Red after the colour of her tits. Tian Lung had tied her in place across two length of timber, crossed in the center. Marks of countless strikes were on the female’s tits. Swoosh!
The bamboo cane swish across the air again. Red had long given up screaming, numb to the pain. Tian Lung knew that he had broken the female days ago, but it was just too fun to give up these sessions. Swoosh! When he first claimed the female, he did these sessions in the open. After the third day, the others monks told him to move it indoors. Swoosh! He was too hard and it was affecting the others females. Swoosh! Thus, that is why he is in the dungeon right now. Swoosh! What nonsense! They are females! Why should anyone care what they think? Swoosh! Still, Tian Lung knew that he has to be careful. Swoosh! He did not want t kill the female, or at least not yet. Swoosh! And it was very troublesome to clean up the dungeon after each session. Swoosh! Like most men, cleaning is not something Tian Lung enjoys. What he need is another slave. Swoosh!
Suddenly, Tian Lung remembers the
other slave. What’s her name? Blue! That’s right! Swoosh! If he claims her, she can do the cleaning up. Swoosh! Be the light, the 2 slaves can
even take turns in the dungeon. Giving the other slave at least one day of
rest. Swoosh! Or he could even have
both of them at the same time! The thought of it gave Tian Lung goose bumps. Swoosh! Tian Lung smiled to himself.
Lu Seng
Yu Sheng showed nothing on his face
but still Lu Seng wasn’t the abbot of the temple for nothing. The
rebellion was successful and Duke Hatak had spread his rule from Rosewood to
the countryside. None of which meant anything to Yu Sheng who is now known
throughout the land as “The Tactician”. The young monk had come back to the
temple angry and Lu Seng knew why.
Better to clear the air now.
“You disagree
with the duke’s decision to stop at Rosewood, Master Yu?”
“Yes, Abbot” Yu
Sheng hotly agreed. “We had 2 female armies out west who were at each other’s
throats! If we left Rosewood and head west immediately after conquering it, we
could have destroyed whoever is left. Now the duke is safe in Rosewood but Mei
Yan has defeated her sister. Now she is out there licking her wounds but the
duke is struck in Rosewood. Too far away to do anyhing till next spring at the
earliest!” Yu Sheng wasn’t finished. “If the duke had listened to me and went
west immediately, our army would have clear the land of female warriors before
the winter snows set in! Now, we have an enemy who would no doubt rearm and
come back againest us next summer. It is…”
“What would
happen if you had won?” The abbot cut the young monk off.
“Success! The
duke would have rule, the land of Warron would be saved, peace would reign as
no…”
“You are wrong,
Master Yu.”
Yu Sheng’s angry
face immediately changed at the abbot’s words. The look of anger transform to
one of puzzlement. To his credit, Yu Sheng recovered well. “I bow to your
superior wisdom, Abbot.”
“The problem was
that the Duke’s forces grew too quickly.” Yu Sheng’s look of puzzlement
remained. Lu Seng ccontinued.
“The duke started with 15,000 men. At Rosewood, he had over 25,000. Men flocked
to his banner as they wanted to defeat the Bright Empire. But…if there wasn’t
an empire to fight with…” Lu Seng stopped as understanding dawn on the young
monk.
“Duke Hatak
needed an enemy.” Yu Sheng said. “Without one, he would soon have to fight the
leaders of the men who joined his banner.”
“Yes. With the princess out west, all the duke will have to do is too remind the other men that war will begin again in the spring. An enemy who would like nothing less than to kill all of them. With autumn almost over and winter beginning…”
“The others will quietly stay under his banner. Giving the duke time to built up his powerbase with the other groups”
“That is correct. The duke has the wizards and us backing him, so the other leaders know that even if they managed to defeat him, they will be so weak that the princess will soon come to destroy whoever is left.” Lu Seng stood up. “Go and prepare Master Yu. Come spring, the temple will march again for the safety of Warron. This time we will crush the Bright.”
The Tactician, Yu Sheng,
smiled and bowed toward the abbot. “As you command, my abbot.”
