A Goddess Gift to Leinyere Amazons.
Each Queen's woman wage war against Orcs, impregnated by few men.
#### Disclaimer. This is completely imaginary fiction. The word "war", with spells and spears, has nothing to do with the Readers' real life but is set in a Fantasy land populated by dragons and orcs. The word "AMAZONS" is only used to convey a concept familiar to readers of the site, by analogy. But it has nothing to do with the Amazons of classical Greek mythology, such as Queen Hippolyta and her legendary Belt (which was a strap-on, perhaps). Women warriors can be found in all the oldest chronicles and mythologies, including Athena, Hippolyta, Camilla, Mulan, Bradamante, the Viking shieldmaidens, the Dahomey Fusiliers, the Air Witches, and many others.

'Fuck me, husband! Get me pregnant! Again, again! Wake up, I know we've already done it twice, but I want you to fuck me again, I can't go into the trenches one more time!"
The husband woke up, yawning. It was the middle of the night, and they had already done it twice before falling asleep. "But darling, I'm tired, my back is sore, and I have a headache..."
"Enough of the usual excuses that you fool husbands use! Fuck me and don't waste time, get me pregnant!"

Chapter 1. The Goddess' Great Gift to the Whole Nation
.
Once upon a time, long ago, in the land of Leinyere, there was a border between two very hostile peoples. A duchy of humans, and a horde of orcs, in the land of Podl'adom.
Two dynasties of rulers ordered their subjects to fight strenuously.
The orcs only obtained the help of many peoples as allies on a single occasion: afterward, irreconcilable quarrels over prestige and misunderstandings arose, and that alliance was never possible again. But that year, the orcs and their numerous allies killed almost all the Men of that People, as soldiers in the trenches, with very rare exceptions of convalescing wounded, the elderly, and some children too young to walk.
The women-scribes who wrote the chronicles of that huge war called it 'The Extermination of the Males', even though it was 'almost' an extermination, with a handful of survivors.
Almost all members of the Human dynasty died in battle.
Remaining on the throne was the king's daughter, who, despite being only 25 years old, had all her hair white, suddenly shriveled with grief. They called her Zakilah, which means The Young Canute Queen.
In the Great Temple in the center of the Capital City, Queen Zakilah gathered the wisest priestesses and handmaids, a total of 43 women. Standing before the altar, the queen addressed a prayer to the Cat Goddess, Abasis.
"Oh, almighty Goddess of Birth and Death, give my people what they need to survive this hateful war!"
Probably the candid queen meant to ask for more sons, who could fight in the trenches against the orcs.
But the Goddess was wise, much wiser than humans.
The statue was covered in a violet glow and this inscription appeared on the temple wall: "This is the gift of the Cat Goddess. For every male child, ten female daughters will be born to you. In this way, your people will be saved from extinction, and each of you will bless me forever."
The bright glow disappeared. All the women, including the queen and the priestesses, realized they were pregnant: perhaps it was part of the goddess's magic, but they all knew immediately and without a shadow of a doubt the sex of the child that would be born nine months later.
Only four handmaids said they were pregnant with a son. Four boys and 40 girls.
One priestess was horrified. "A girl child! Who will not be able to fight against the Orcs! What a disgrace!"
But the queen stopped her. "Do not dare take a future female warrior from your Queen. You have not understood the value of the Goddess' gift. But I have understood. Obey me!"
The priestess immediately knelt down.
The queen stepped out onto the balcony and addressed the people gathered in the square.
"You have heard the voice of the Goddess. From today on, all women will serve as fighters in the trenches, in the war against the orcs. By contrast, all the very few males will serve as stallions, and will remain here, protected within the walls of the castle in the center of the capital city."
Immediately, the queen convened a war council, with her own court of female generals and female admirals. Sitting limply inside a whirlpool (fed by waterfall mills), naked or nearly naked in the absence of males, the women debated whether to enter into an eternal peace or to wage war to the bitter end.
All, without exception, decided to carry on the war until the complete extermination of the enemy army. The queen nodded.
The generalesses decided to conscript all women over the age of eighteen and send them all to the front. Only the women who were wounded or convalescing would remain in the capital city.
"Aren't you afraid that the ogres will abuse our female soldiers?"
