KINDGOM OF MINATORIE CH TWO

The Battle Begins

While Dorie and Toy were talking, I went up to the wizard. "You know, if she doesn't go back, they will know something happened to her. They will send a patrol to check on this village. It won't end well."

He nodded. "The villagers she was threatening told me she was looking for us. They have intelligence that says this village helped us. Even thought they didn't, they will never believe them."

I frowned. "Even if she goes back, they will still come here looking for us. No matter what Dorie tells them, it would only make her look suspicious in their eyes. Maybe it's time we started keeping our "converts" and try to build at least a small force that could protect some of the villages when a patrol comes?"

"I have been thinking about the next step. We can't wait until you can capture a hundred or more of these warriors. We need a faster plan."

"Yeah, if you have one, now's the time." I waited. I could see he had a sparkle in his eyes.

"Maybe. Tell her to stay with us." He turned and walked away. As he left, he spoke over his shoulder. "Wait for me in the cave. If you see our patrol, tell them to stay with you until I return."

"Dorie, you are to remain with us. Let's get out of here. Bwa, watch over us as we head back to the cave."

Bwa had to be careful of the large falcon that was now flying patrols over the city. Even though we were at least a mile away, they have excellent eyesight, and he would need to be careful.

We arrived at the cave as darkness was falling. We made ourselves comfortable and tried to sleep. Toy and Dorie took turns on watch throughout the night.

Late the next day the wizard returned. He had a couple of men with him carrying supplies. Good, we were hungry.

While we were eating, the wizard laid out his plan.

"Minatorie has outposts in the other provinces of the kingdom. Some of them are small, maybe only five or six females watching the province. I propose we take one of those outposts and capture the females. That alone would double our force, and they can't reinforce everywhere at once. It would also convince them we are not in the villages. That should make the villagers safe for now."

"True enough. How far away is the province you want to capture?"

"It's a little way. These men are going to give us a wagon for our supplies and me to ride in. I'm afraid we'll need someone to pull the wagon."

Dorie stood up. "Sire, I'll do it. I'm strong enough to pull a small wagon."

"Thank you, Dorie. I'm sure you are. When?"

"As soon as we can collect Tai and Ork. We will need them. It's time to spread their soldiers out a little."

Two days later, Bwa saw Tai and Ork going out on another patrol. They were in a different area, but we went to meet them.

They were very happy to see me. They looked at our newest members and saluted me instead of trying to kiss me. "What is your command, sire?"

The wizard asked if they were familiar with the province we were interested in. Tai smiled. "Yes, sire. I was stationed there on my last assignment. I know the area well."

I smiled. "Excellent, I appoint you as our scout. You can work with Bwa to map the place."

She couldn't have been prouder and tried not to smile.

We started toward the province and stopped at the village the men were from to get our wagon and supplies. True to her word, Dorie had no problem pulling the wagon. She had only one request. "Sire, please take my sword. A king must have a sword, and I can fight without it. Please."

She knelt and offered up her sword. The wizard nodded, just a little, but it was enough for me to see him. Great, I can't use a sword. If we get in a fight, I could just as easily cut one of my people as the person I was aiming at. But I knew I couldn't refuse. "Dorie, I would be honored to carry your sword until you need it again."

She pulled her belt and sheath off and put it on me. She then put her sword into the sheath. As I swung the sword, I knew I would have to learn how to weld it before we had a battle. The wizard nodded at me, and I wondered again how he seems to know what I'm thinking all the time. She was smiling as she pulled the wagon down the road.

It took us four days to reach the outskirts of the main village in the province. This was a small, rural province that provided food stuffs to the kingdom. By the time we were near, Bwa had counted only six soldiers there.

I sent Bwa to survey the entire province to see if there were any other soldiers. There were none.

When Bwa got back, he and Tai talked about his survey. The village has one large building in the center of town. That was where the six soldiers were staying. Bwa had one nice piece of information. He told us the soldiers always went out by themselves. I guess they didn't think the villagers posed any problems. If we plan it correctly, we can pick a couple off first.

The village only had one road, and everything was along that road. Only the villagers' homes were behind the buildings. They had small pathways to their homes. The pathways weaved around and through the village. They were narrow and had many blind spots.

Bwa went up to wait for one of them to leave the building. I closed my eyes and watched along with him. It didn't take long for one to head out of the building. She was heading in our direction. There was a small stream in the wooded area she was heading for. It was also where we were hiding. It might be room service if she kept walking this way.

When she got to the edge of the woods, we melted back deeper into the wooded area to let her come into the woods.

The female knelt to drink the fresh water. I looked up to see Dorie quietly moving up behind her. She heard something, but it was too late. Dorie had a knife at her throat before she could turn around. "Quiet if you want to live." The female froze and we all came out around her.

Her eyes followed me as we gathered around her. Ork and Tai tied her hands and legs together and pushed her over on her stomach. The wizard stuffed a rag into her mouth. The look in her eyes was pure hate, but we didn't really care about that now.

I reached down and bit her on her neck. Her tunnel opened and she began struggling violently. Dorie stopped her with the knife under her throat. I straddled her and lowered myself down on her until my member was just above her tunnel. I leaned down and balanced myself on her back and growled into her ear as I entered her. Even with the knife at her throat, she resisted until my fluids interacted with hers. She slowly became calmer until she was still. While she was still, I went around in front of her. Dorie picked her up by her shoulders with her uniform and I pushed into her mouth. She didn't resist as I pushed into her mouth until I could deposit my fluids down her throat. Dorie then dropped her, and we waited.

I told them to untie her, and she shook her head and sat up. I whispered into her ear, and she looked at me. "I am the property of Raymond from this moment. I will obey only Raymond from this moment on."

I helped her up and asked her name. "My name is Ver."

"Ver, welcome to our team. Please sit over there for a moment." She went and sat down.

I gathered everyone around me. "What do we do with her now?"

"You send her back and tell her to do nothing until we say."

I nodded and instructed her to return to the building as if nothing had changed and to wait for my instructions. She nodded and left. Bwa watched as she went back into their building. One down, five to go.

One by one, that day we were able to capture two more. By the end of the day, it was three to three inside their camp.

We decided to wait until late at night when they were asleep and rush them. In the early hours we surrounded the building and swarmed inside. They hadn't even locked their doors.

Before they cleared their heads, we had a sword at each's throat. The squad leader wasn't willing to give up so easily and pushed Tai. Tai lost her balance and fell back. The leader jumped up, grabbed her sword and stood in the middle of the room. "So, there really is a male minotaur running around like a king. Well, let's see how good you are with that sword."

I gave a signal, and our team "allowed" the three to overwhelm them and join their leader in the middle of the room.

"Now I like our odds. I think I'm going to castrate you myself, "King".

I smiled at her.

"What is so funny, "King"?"

"This." I pointed at her and her three "helpers' turned on her and she had three swords at her throat. She was so shocked she just froze.

I walked up to her and took her sword. "That's what was funny. I had already taken half your team before we even came here. Now, it's time I take you."

I grabbed her by the hair and bent her over their meal table. The other females backed off. I knew I would have to subdue her by myself. "I can do this one of two ways. I can take your head off and put it on a spike in the yard, or you can stay still while I do what I must do. Your choice."

I was laying on her back and I put my full weight on her and turned her head to the side where I could see her face. I could tell she was weighing the choices. She quickly realized that since I had seven of the ten females in the room already, she didn't need to give up her life for an empty show of bravery and just relaxed her body a little.

When I saw this, I whispered into her ear. "Good choice. You won't regret it." With that, I bit her on the neck, and she knew what was coming next. Her struggles continued but it was futile. I thrust into her with all the energy I could muster and growled at the top of my lungs as I dominated her. She quickly stopped struggling. She knew it was over. When I finished taking her body, I moved to the front and told her to open her mouth. She began crying and shaking her head, but I grabbed her hair and pried her mouth open. We locked our eyes for a minute and she finally nodded and relaxed. She closed her eyes and surrendered to her fate. I didn't force her. I just deposited my juices on her tongue and told her to swallow. She did so without hesitation. I had to admit, I like the fight in this one.

I whispered the words into her ear and got off her. We waited. She finally stood up, turned to face me, and kneeled. "I am the property of Raymond from this moment. I will obey only Raymond from this moment."

I helped her up and hugged her. "You are a very brave warrior, and I am very lucky to have you fight for me. What is your name?"

"I am called Thunder."

I laughed. "And I can see why you are." I kissed her on the cheek and told her to sit down. I quickly took the last two, and we had a province of our own, at least until a real troop of warriors showed up.

One of Thunder's females made us a meal while we discussed whatever Thunder knew. She told us Minatorie is very worried about us. She was getting ready to send troops to each province. Her idea was to surround us, and when we make our move, she would have troops all around us, no matter where we struck.

Not a bad plan, but our plan was to sneak into the city itself and strike at her and the sorceress first.

So far it has been a bloodless coup, but we all knew that would not last. There would come a time when blood would be shed.

I needed structure. I named Thunder as my Captain and Dorie as her lieutenant.

The wizard called the villagers together and found out whatever they knew. The only thing that was helpful was the knowledge of a cache of weapons the troops had been storing. I hadn't even asked Thunder about the possibility of that. When I asked her, she smiled and led us to them. They had the usual things, bows and arrows, swords, knives, etc. However, there were a couple of items I liked. There were shields and armor. Chest plates with back plates attached. A belt that had thigh plates hanging down. Thunder told us they have trained in the use of the armor, and every weapon here. I had them load everything into a wagon that obviously was what it came in originally. We loaded some food and water on the wagon we had brought. The villagers gave us more food and wished us luck. They were happy to have the troops leave. They just hoped it wouldn't cause HER to send more violent troops.

The larger wagon needed two females to pull it, and Thunder assigned two of her females to pull the first shift. Dorie took up our wagon, and we were off.

Our little group was growing too large to slip by heavily populated areas, so we avoided people. On the way to the city, we encountered another patrol. My troops captured them easily, and I added them to our team. We now have twelve warriors.

Our circuitous route was going to take us by another province. I had Bwa over fly it and he returned with a headcount of eight more females. It was a larger province.

I huddled with the wizard and decided we could use eight more warriors. This was a larger town, and the soldiers only traveled in pairs. They looked like a more hardened group.

We were able to take two of them on a quiet street at the edge of town before they could raise an alarm. Six more. As before, I sent them back in as our insiders.

The next day, we caught one more. She appeared to be on her own, not on an assignment, just wandering around. After we took her, I asked her what she was doing alone. She confided in me that she didn't really want to hurt the villagers, and they were preparing to kill the entire town. That is why they had been sent there by Minatorie in the first place. One assassination attempt had been sent from here and she had ordered them all killed. This female was struggling with it.

I gathered our people together and explained what she told us. "We are going to strike them before they can kill these peasants. I sent her back in and told her to tell the other two we were coming tonight, late. When we break in, they are to disarm as many as they can.

We surrounded their quarters and waited until early morning. At my signal, we came in through windows and several doors. My females had unlocked everything in the night, and we stormed the place. Only the leader drew her sword and attacked us. Thunder struck her down in one blow and everyone else froze.

While I was "enlisting" the other four new team members, Thunder and Dorie took the body out and wrapped it in cloth.

In the morning, we gathered the villagers and explained what would have happened if we hadn't been there. I had them build a pyre for the fallen warrior and we burned her body in a show of respect. She was a warrior, and I wanted these humans to understand honor.

I gathered our people together. "How many of you have been in battle?" Five of them raised their hands. I made them platoon leaders. At first, each only had two or three with them, but we would add to the squads as we added new females.

We were now three days from the city. On the way, Bwa warned us about a large group of warriors coming out of the city and heading toward the province we had just left. We went around them and waited until they were gone before continuing our journey.

That night, after we made camp, and eaten our meal, the wizard asked to speak to me, alone. We walked to a quiet place in the forest and sat down.

He looked me in the eye. "It is time to discuss what we will need to do in the city." I nodded. "We took all our insiders with us, so we will need to capture a couple more that will be able to sneak us into the city. We will need to get into Minatorie's inner sanctum before the sorceress finds out we are in the city. She will know with the first disturbance in the household. I must distract her until you take Minatorie. That is the only way we can weaken the sorceress. We will have to stay in the forest until we have our insider ready."

I nodded. "I can have Bwa be on the lookout for someone with the authority to open a gate and let us in. He will have to be careful of the falcon."

"I will take care of the falcon. He will be too busy to bother Bwa that night."

Two nights later, as Bwa was circling the city, looking for anyone outside the gate who could help us and I was watching through his eyes, he heard the falcon falling out of the sky in a dive straight at him. He dodged and the falcon missed with his first dive. As he began climbing toward Bwa for another attack, Bwa heard a loud screech in the dark sky. The falcon broke off his attack and headed for the safety of one of the buildings on the wall. He knew what that sound was, and he wasn't waiting to give an eagle the opportunity to catch him. The falcon managed to dive into an open window just before the eagle caught him. The eagle stopped and flew around the building, screaming and calling. "Come out, sorcerous, come out and play."

Only silence. Apparently, the falcon wasn't interested in fighting an eagle. The huge eagle finally flew away and Bwa had a clear night over the city. An hour later, Bwa saw a lone figure sneaking around the wall of the city. I saw the figure also and decided to send Thunder and Dorie with a couple of others to intercept the figure and see who it was. They surprised the stranger at a blind corner. The stranger bumped into the swords of Thunder and Dorie and came quietly. The guards on the wall never saw anything.

They brought the stranger to our camp in the forest. When we pulled the cloak off them, it was one of Minatorie's ministers. She was on Minatorie's board of leaders. It was Astoria, the leader of her board.

She didn't fight. "Don't kill me. I can help you."

I smiled at her as Thunder knocked her to her knees. Thunder smiled. "You're going to be the happiest you have been for a long time within a few minutes, just relax and let it happen."

Astoria had a confused look in her eyes until Dorie pulled her fine dress up to reveal her ass. She started trying to struggle, but Thunder struck her on the side of her head, and she collapsed in Thunder and Dorie's arms.

They held her up on each side by her arms and let her hang between them. I just shook my head. "Well, you tried to warn her." Neither of them even cracked a smile. They were all business.

I reached up from behind her and pulled her head back so I could reach her neck. I bit her, hard, and her tunnel opened. It felt good, this entitled piece of ass. She was soft and inviting. I enjoyed fucking this one more than most. This one was more personal. I could tell Thunder and Dorie didn't like her much, and that was all I needed.

As soon as I finished, I went around and pulled her head up. She was still out, so I stuck my finger into her mouth and pushed it open. I then shoved myself into her mouth. She didn't feel it, so I just fired into her mouth, deep enough to ensure she would swallow it. When I was finished, Thunder and Dorie dropped her, and she bounced off the hard ground.

We waited and she finally began moving. When she was clear enough, she looked up at the three of us. She crawled over to me and hugged my knees. "Master."

I hadn't yet even spoken the words to her, but she wasn't waiting. I whispered into her ear the words and she repeated them without prompting.

I held out my hand to her, and she took it. I helped her up, and she went back down in her fine dress. "Master, I will do whatever you ask of me. Just command me."

"Please stand up." She did so and stood in front of me with her head bowed. "Why were you outside the city tonight?"

"Mistress is very worried. There is apparently some prophecy that says a new King will kill the murderer. She is convinced it is you. Even the sorcerous is having trouble keeping her calm. She is drugged most days now. The sorcerous must stay with her to keep her from killing herself."

"Why outside the wall?"

"The mistress has called a board meeting for in the morning. This can't be good, and I was attempting to get out of the city before she kills us all."
