The Saintess and the Knight
After restraining and capturing the unconscious saintess and her knight, I headed toward our temporary headquarters. It was a tent erected in the middle of a battlefield still littered with corpses.
Though the place was overflowing with the bodies of human soldiers, I didn't feel much of anything. How many monsters have I killed until now? To me, a human corpse is no different from the carcass of an orc or a hobgoblin.
Anyway.
All the monsters, including the dark elves, were busy cleaning up the battlefield. They were clearing away the bodies and organizing the equipment. Even while doing so, they maintained a rock-solid perimeter. They were truly an elite, hardened army.
"Alright, alright! Everyone! I know you're tired, but let's keep at it! Once we get back and finish cleaning up, I'll grant you all some combat leave!"
I encouraged my soldiers and infused mana into the ones I passed by.
"Keruk...! Power is surging!"
A goblin, high on the mana boost, dashed off. This is going to be fun. A saintess who could be called a top-tier beauty, and a sharp, haughty-looking female knight serving as her protector? If I ravage them both, how much will I grow? I was certain that my mana capacity would increase by at least 10 percent.
"Keruk-keruk. My Lord. Just looking at this makes me happy. Kerurung."
Buril, looking at the chainmail, proper iron spears, and swords scattered everywhere, said with a wide grin.
"Hehehe, yeah. Now it's your turn to use those."
"Did the humans get beaten even while using weapons like these? Keruk. How incompetent."
"Ah, we really won this one too easily."
We won because we prepared properly and launched a surprise attack, but I didn't bother saying that. Was there any need to dampen their morale?
"Shwaaaaak! Shwaaaaak!"
"Graaaaak!"
Over there, the lizardmen and hobgoblins were shouting in excitement. The heat of the battle still lingered in their hearts. As monsters, they had never experienced a victory against an enemy of such overwhelming scale before.
"Are you that happy?"
"Shwaaaaak! To kill such a horde of enemies! Shwaaaaak!"
"Graklak!"
These bastards fought hard, I'll give them that.
"Good. From now on, you aren't colonial conscripts, but official members of our family."
"Shwak?"
"Grak?"
"When we get back, I'll give you a proper baptism."
In any case, if I ravage the saintess, my mana reserves are bound to skyrocket. I should make all these lizardmen and hobgoblins part of my family. Initially, I had intended to treat them as expendable fodder. After all, casualties were inevitable in intense combat. I had tried not to get attached to avoid emotional wounds. But we had fought together like this. If we fought together, we were family. And once they were family, I wouldn't just use them and throw them away. I would protect them as much as I could.
"Now go back to work, you guys."
"Shwak! Understood!"
"Grarak!"
Just like that, we continued cleaning up the battlefield by the light of fires in the darkness, and by the time the sun began to rise, the work was mostly finished.
"They said we killed two hundred of them!"
"Really?!"
"Wow!"
"I'm so happy!"
The excited pixies shouted. The number of corpses found alone exceeded two hundred. Carti had said their total force was around three hundred, so this was practically total annihilation.
"An overwhelming victory through perfect tactics...!"
In war, losing even ten percent of your force was usually considered a defeat. If ten out of a hundred died, it was a total rout. But two hundred!
"The equipment is also overwhelming!"
Seeing the well-organized weapons and armor, I felt like my mouth would tear from grinning! We really gained so much!
"My Lord! It's a great victory! Shaa-shaa!"
"Hahahaha! Yes! A great victory indeed!"
"But is it okay that the hundred who escaped got away? They all ran off."
"That's fine."
It was unavoidable from the start. It was impossible to track them all down and kill them. I could only pray that some of them would die in the jungle.
"And it seems the knight survived as well. The knight named Kanto."
"Ah, was there no face among the fallen?"
Vanessa nodded.
"I suppose he ran away. It's a pity, but it can't be helped."
"Now the existence of the monster army will be revealed. Well, someone like you will be able to handle it. I trust you'll manage it well."
"Oh. Are you trusting me? Should I go over and give you a deep hug for that?"
"Kuh...! Your sexual harassment is as persistent as ever!"
I would make sure to reward Vanessa for her efforts.
"Alright, everyone! The cleanup is mostly done, so let's pack the supplies and head back! It might take a few trips because there's so much stuff, but keep your spirits up, my Culls Demon Army!"
"Keruuuuk!"
"Gyusatsat!"
We returned with the spoils, but we couldn't rest immediately because there was so much to do. However, thanks to the large workforce and the smart officers in place, we were able to finish the cleanup quickly. Anyway, I'm always so damn busy.
After finishing everything.
"Shall we begin?"
I decided to carry out the task I had been waiting for. It was... breaking the saintess. I stood up, stretched, took off my coat, and hung it on the chair. Then, I headed to the prison.
Creak.
"Oh."
The two beautiful women were sleeping pressed against each other, as if trying to shield one another.
"So beautiful."
Even inside this prison, their radiant beauty remained undimmed. Both women were currently wearing only underwear, boots, and gloves; the saintess was wearing a tiara, and Lea was wearing a circlet. I was immediately aroused. These two women were mine now.
For now, both were asleep. They were exhausted and had fallen into a deep slumber. The pixies had told me earlier that they hadn't been able to regain consciousness even when they were washed in the morning. It seemed that infusing them with mana to prevent them from recovering their holy power had backfired.
"Wake up. Lady Lea."
I grabbed the hand of Lea, the knight, and slowly pulled her up, lifting her into my arms in a princess carry.
Slide.
As I did, Lea's hand, which had been holding the saintess's, fell away.
"..."
Even so, Lea couldn't regain consciousness. She just kept her eyes closed, letting out labored breaths... The scent of this woman's skin was so sweet. It was enough to make my head spin.
"I'll set up Lea first."
I carried Lea and headed to the torture chamber.
"Good."
"..."
Vines hung from the ceiling. I used them to cross Lea's wrists and bind them. As expected, a captured female knight looks best when bound standing up like this. I also tied her ankles separately.
Now, Lea would have to stand here and watch from start to finish as I tortured the saintess. Even if I ravished her pussy and sucked on her without mercy, the knight could do nothing. I would break her spirit like that and train her to become my loyal slave.
As I watched the bound Lea while thinking that, a moan escaped her lips.
"Ugh, ugh..."
She must have been in pain, standing only by the support of her bound wrists. Lea, who had made a sound as if in distress, slowly opened her eyes.
"Hah!"
"Are you awake?"
"...You."
Lea immediately glared at me with hostility. I liked that aggressive gaze. She looked down at her own bound, scantily clad form and was greatly agitated. She must have imagined what was about to happen to her. It was delightful.
"What do you intend to do with us?"
A voice dripping with hostility... As expected. A woman should have this kind of flavor. To have such a sexy, lewd body while also possessing an aggressive nature. A personality like Reika's would be perfect.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm going to do something terrible to you."
"...Something terrible."
"I plan to do terrible things, mostly to your pussy and breasts."
"W-what!"
Lea was shocked, her face turning red.
"If you had surrendered peacefully, that wouldn't have happened."
I said that and slowly took off Lea's bra.
"Eek! Don't touch me! How dare you do such a thing...!"
"Ah, what beautiful breasts."
As I took off the bra, her breasts popped out exactly as I had imagined. Was the size similar to Reika's? Her nipples were a pale pink. I couldn't resist this. I immediately grabbed Lea's breasts and slowly kneaded them.
"Kuh...!"
"They're soft."
I slowly kneaded her large breasts, rubbing them with my palms as if spreading lotion, and enjoyed the sensation. My mana was already recovering.
"Did you bind me just to fondle my breasts? How pathetic...!"
A voice steeped in shame. It stimulated me.
"Of course not."
I immediately stopped the caressing, buried my nose in her cleavage, and found her nipples, stimulating them gently with my tongue.
"Kuh...!"
Wiggle, wiggle.
She tried to shake her upper body to resist, but she was already bound. While sucking on Lea's nipples, I touched her pussy through her panties.
"Damn it...!"
"Oh. You're wet, aren't you?"
"That's impossible!"
"Then let's check."
As I grabbed both ends of Lea's sexy black panties to check, she shook her body in refusal. Of course, her wrists and ankles were all bound. I pulled Lea's panties down to her thighs without much difficulty.
"Ah...!"
Her pussy was...
"A very beautiful shape."
Her plump pussy lips were pressed together, creating a beautiful slit. It was a pussy I wanted to fuck just by looking at it.
"And no hair."
"You disgusting bastard...!"
"Such harsh words."
Slurp.
I kissed Lea's pussy gently.
"Eek, eeeeeeeeeeeeeek?! Stop! Stop it!"
"Just from this much?"
I wanted to tease her more.
Smack.
Smack.
Smack.
I kissed her repeatedly, deliberately making smacking sounds.
"Damn it! To a guy like you...! Hnggg!"
The sight of her shaking her body was pathetic. I enjoyed the sight for a moment before taking out the small dildo I had put in my pocket. Lea was looking at the ceiling, so she hadn't noticed. I immediately infused my mana into the dildo.
"Lady Lea."
I called out to Lea while bringing the dildo toward her pussy.
"W-what are you doing!"
Did she finally notice? "Stop it right now!"
As if I would.
I immediately found Lea's pussy hole and slowly pushed the dildo inside.
"What are you putting inside me, ah!"
Squish.
The small dildo slowly widened Lea's tight, clenched vagina as it entered. She was filled to the brim with juices.
"Ughhhhhhhhhh!"
Enjoying the sight of Lea moaning in distress, I thrust the dildo in all the way. She smelled so much like a virgin, yet she swallowed the dildo in one go. She was a lewd woman.
"Then, I'll put your panties back on."
And I put her panties back on.
"Haa... haa... what are you thinking, putting something like that inside me...!"
"Well, it's nothing special."
I met Lea's gaze and stroked her face as I explained. "From now on, Lady Lea, you can enjoy watching me torment the saintess while you have that inside your pussy."
"You lowly, dirty bastard! Why are you doing such a thing!"
"Because you two didn't surrender. If you don't listen to me, I have no choice but to punish you. Now, you may only speak when I give you permission."
Slide.
I immediately gagged Lea.
"Ugh! Ughhhhh!"
"Please enjoy watching me play with the saintess at your leisure."
