The Orgy of War and the Priest's Gambit
The sight of prisoners being used as human shields was shocking enough, but the fact that the Orcs were actively mounting humans was even more jarring. The sheer horror of such an act being performed openly on a battlefield was beyond comprehension. Boom, boom-boom, boom-boom! The sound of drums echoed. At the same time, the soldiers gulped, their throats dry. The creaking of the wooden structures and the rhythmic thudding weren't just drumbeats—they were the sounds of flesh colliding, the sounds of men and women copulating.
The first Orc that appeared was merely the beginning. Eight Harpy Angels held ropes woven into wooden planks, fitting them onto the top of the palisade. Other Orcs and female captives were already positioned on the platforms. The women’s eyes were covered with blindfolds.
Rip!
"Aaaahhh!!"
The female prisoner, her blindfold ripped away by an Orc, screamed in terror at the sight of the soldiers. She tried to scramble away in shock but collapsed to the floor, and the Orc, without a moment's hesitation, dropped its trousers and thrust its member into the woman's mouth.
"Mmph, mmmph...!"
Chained by the neck, the woman was forced to endure the Orc's assault. Behind them, the Harpy Angels lifted the next set of planks. There were women being taken like dogs on all fours, and others standing on one leg while the other was hoisted onto an Orc's shoulder. All of them were restrained in prison garb, and the Orcs were mercilessly venting their carnal desires upon them.
"Those bastards! I'll chew them to pieces!" Knight Pahuu roared in fury. He was incensed by the Orcs' cruel and bizarre behavior. What made him even angrier was that the women being violated all seemed to be beauties, as if they had been hand-picked for this purpose.
"Calm down, stay calm!" Pahuu shouted at his soldiers, but they were already staring blankly at the intercourse between the five Orcs and the humans. Their minds were completely captivated by the obscene act that stimulated their primal instincts.
"Sir Gei! This won't do! Let's fire! With your archery skills—"
"Good goddess." Gei’s jaw dropped.
Pahuu, wondering what could be so shocking, turned his head and his own jaw dropped just as wide.
Flap, flap. Four Harpy Angels lifted their planks simultaneously. This time, it wasn't a woman, but a human male chained by the neck. He was tied to a long pillar, unable to move an inch. The moment they wondered what they would do to the man, the Harpy Angels who had installed the platform began to strip, rubbing their breasts against the male prisoner's body.
Gei felt his vision blur. 'This is driving me insane.' If he himself couldn't keep his composure in front of such a sight, how could the common soldiers? Especially those who had been subjected to aphrodisiac terrorism just half a day ago, left with pent-up frustration they hadn't been able to resolve.
"Haa, fuuu, damn it all..."
The soldiers were all breathing heavily, unable to hide their discomfort. Everyone was shifting their weight or subtly spreading their legs.
"Crazy bastards..."
"I'm so jealous..."
"My crotch is going to explode, those horny pig-bastards."
There were those who felt contempt for the demons' act of thoroughly humiliating humans, and others who were just relieved they weren't being eaten alive by monsters. But the common reaction among them all was 'arousal.' The soldiers were all in heat, and the knights had no way to control the situation.
"Damn it, all troops—"
"We are now accepting job applications, you little humans!!"
The moment Gei tried to command them, the Orc with the red tattoo shouted as if he had been waiting. At the same time, with a fluttering sound, about a hundred Harpy Angels landed between the platforms and atop the watchtowers.
Rustle, rustle. Though they covered their bodies with robes of black feathers, the Harpy Angels teased the soldiers, opening and closing their fronts playfully.
"Whoever wants to do it, come down the river now! Any sturdy, healthy man is welcome! However!!"
"All troops, retreat!! Reorganize the front—"
"Anyone who runs away now will never get another chance!" the Orc delivered the ultimatum.
To calm the agitated soldiers, Gei snatched a bow from Pahuu, who was busy rolling his eyes.
"Sir Gei!"
Thwip!!
Gei's arrow flew precisely toward the Orc's crotch. It was a trajectory aimed exactly at the Orc's testicles.
Clack!
But the arrow fell uselessly against a magic circle drawn in the air. Gei bit his lip, realizing they were using defensive magic.
"Crazy bastards! Hiding behind defensive magic to do such things...!"
It was too insane. If he didn't pull the soldiers back, the situation would be disadvantageous in many ways. Fortunately, the enemies showed no other movement despite Gei's arrow.
"Whew..."
The moment he was about to declare a retreat, Gei felt the glares of Pahuu and countless soldiers. The acts on the platforms were still ongoing, and the Harpies were even mounting the men on the pillars, swaying their hips. Are we really just leaving like this...? The soldiers seemed to be saying. None of them had turned their backs, and if arrows or magic were to fly, most of the soldiers would be in danger of dying.
Thwack, thwack-thwack-thwack! Tee-hee-hee!!
But the monsters were already so intoxicated by pleasure that they showed no sign of attacking. The Orcs on the watchtowers were still holding their bowstrings, waiting to fire at any moment.
'Damn it.' Gei had a gut feeling. Even if it was intercourse between monsters and humans, they should have come with their minds fully composed after the aphrodisiac terror last night. Gei felt like he was in a checkmate. Something needed to change. And that was the role of a different detachment, not his own.
'Please, priest, live up to your name.'
Gei waited desperately for the operation to break this situation to succeed. And he let out a deep sigh.
"Fuck..."
Gei squeezed his eyes shut as four Harpy Angels knelt to service the pillar-bound man. 'It's so damn arousing.'
Aaaah, ugh, huuuu!! Thwack, thwack-thwack-thwack. The act continued unabated.
* * *
At that time, in the forest east of Las Vegas.
"...What? Monsters humiliating humans? ...Sexually?"
Priest Francis felt his head spin for a moment after hearing the message from the messenger urgently dispatched from Gei's army. He knew better than anyone that monsters were sexually promiscuous and filthy, but it was hard to imagine monsters publicly humiliating humans.
"You mean... those tentacle-type monsters or succubus-type monsters? What? Orcs and Harpies are doing that? This is insane."
Francis hoped the messenger's words were a lie. It felt like common sense was collapsing, but he managed to calm his chaotic heart by seeking the Goddess, barely regaining his composure.
"......Tsk."
For adventurers, it might be a familiar sight, but for the common soldiers who didn't know the truth, it was a massive shock. Even among the adventurers Francis was in charge of, some veterans were smiling bitterly, and the rookie adventurers were also in confusion. Sexual intercourse with monsters was a taboo set by the Goddess. Those who engaged in such acts were destined to be branded as black mages or witches by the Holy Knights and face the hammer of justice. It was unfortunate for those forced into it, but it couldn't be helped. Francis steeled his heart.
"Brothers, please listen carefully."
A silver light began to bloom faintly from Francis's hands. The adventurers turned their gazes toward Francis, each raising their weapons.
"From now on, we will eliminate the lackeys of the wicked Demon King who have occupied Zabiyaba. The Goddess will protect you, and I, her servant, will stand at the forefront to execute divine punishment. Please, lend me your strength."
Raising his flail, Francis gathered the rangers among the adventurers who held bows to the front. About 30 archers raised their prepared bows, and their colleagues or teammates lit them using matches from the side.
Whoosh.
The archers held their fire arrows high. At the sight of the red flames rising in the forest, the Orc on the watchtower hurriedly struck a bell, the sound reaching even the forest. Hearing the alarm, the Orcs hurriedly raised their bows toward the forest. But it was already too late.
The flail Francis held was pointing precisely at one spot. The very place where Gei had mobilized veteran soldiers to coat with resin the night before.
"Fire!!"
At Francis's shout, fire arrows simultaneously crossed the sky. The arrows, accurately embedded in the target, ignited the resin covered in sand, and soon a portion of the palisade began to burn in flames.
Screeeech!
He could clearly feel the Orcs moving in a flurry. Francis gripped his flail and stepped forward slowly. Thanks to the work done in advance, the flames burned only a width enough for about ten people to enter. A palisade could just be rebuilt if it collapsed. Following the Baron's suggestion to use the same method the enemy Orcs used to attack the city, while the main force drew attention with ladders as if they were going to climb the palisade, a detachment composed of adventurers would clear a path nearby.
If left as is, the flames would spread to the sides, but—
"Oh, Goddess!!"
Francis raised his flail high into the sky. At the same time, he began to spin it horizontally toward the burning palisade. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-whoosh-whoosh—
Silver divine power began to sparkle on Francis's body as he advanced, spinning in a whirlwind. Silver light began to burst from Francis's eyes as well, and using the centrifugal force, he threw the flail forward.
"Receive divine punishment——!!"
The horizontally spinning flail flew toward the burning palisade like a boomerang. With a crunch! sound, the bottom of the palisade was struck by the flail and shattered. The width was enough for at least five people to pass through, and Francis caught his breath in place and prayed.
"Oh, Goddess, please embrace my killing today."
Francis spat on his hands. And he was handed a flail he had left in advance by an adventurer who was a former priest.
"Thank you, brother."
"Don't mention it. Who will take the lead—"
"I will!"
Although the divine power gradually subsided, Francis's true ability was sufficient even without the buff of divine power. Francis and the detachment ran toward the palisade that had collapsed to the ground. The 100-man special forces shouted and advanced into Zabiyaba. And then.
Whoosh——!!
A log pillar from the broken palisade flew at them. Francis rolled on the ground to avoid the attack, but the priest who had handed him the flail was struck in the chest by the log and collapsed on the spot.
"What kind of strength...?!"
Francis performed a landing and stopped in place. Following his instinctive danger, he twisted his inertia and rolled his body to the side, and sharp ice thorns were embedded in the ground where he had been about to stand up.
"This, could it be!"
Francis raised his head. On the opposite side of the alley they were trying to infiltrate, an armored knight holding the flail he had thrown was greeting them. Fwoosh. And beside him, a black-robed mage stood next to the knight. The thirty soldiers who formed a semicircle around them were covering their entire bodies with black feathers and wrapping their faces tightly.
"That is...!"
"It could be one of three things, but be careful."
Tension gripped Francis's entire body.
"They are the dead, undead!!"
Kroooooo!!
The adventurers and the ghouls clashed in the narrow alley.
* * *
The eastern palisade had collapsed. The method was different from what I had done, but the result was the same; I was dumbfounded by the strategy of breaking only a part of the palisade and advancing.
"Ugh, it feels dirty to be hit the same way."
I ejaculated once inside Lily and placed her down on the platform. Though invisible to the humans, Lily was grinning from ear to ear. It seemed she had awakened to a new wall.
"What shall we do?" Andras, who had brought me the news from below the platform, sharpened her nails. There was no movement from the enemy's main force yet, and the intruders were a mere 100 adventurers. 100 adventurers.
"Are there many women?"
"...About 40?"
"What a windfall."
I picked up Lily and jumped down from a height. The two-story house to the north had already been stripped of much of its wood for reinforcing the palisade, and it was the perfect position to place a ladder toward the platform.
"Andras. Escort Lily to Las Village. Gremory's main force will move her from the rear immediately."
"Got it. But Master. By any chance...?"
"Yeah."
I wiped my member with the cloth Andras handed me and put on the clothes I had thrown off below. I had gone out naked to cause a shock, but I couldn't fight without armor. It wouldn't be a big problem if I got hurt, but there were too many kids who would nag me if I did.
"Gremory!"
"Why?" Gremory's clone on the watchtower responded.
I pointed to those who were acting hard on stage—playing the part of being captured by monsters and publicly humiliated.
"Get off the stage at the right timing! And execute the operation according to the plan!"
"What are you going to do?!"
"What do you mean, what!!"
I raised the newly procured weapon.
"I have to fight!!"
My iron pipe, held high into the sky, glittered in the sunlight.
