The Grandmaster of Sarthas - Chapter 25
#4 of The Grandmaster of Sarthas
Plans, contingencies, and hungry little vixens.
"Investigate this camp within the boundaries of your land" The wolf recited the contract wording silently as he stood over a collection of maps. "Should the suspected crimes be confirmed, identify and eliminate criminals in that camp. Recover records and documentation should it exist and rescue any current victims." He continued, noting certain tents or structures on the maps. "My lord, your team leaders have arrived." A young Kitsune guard announced. "Send them in" Ceberune said simply. A grizzled male Amarok, a young Kitsune female and a young Bsani female entered the tent and bowed respectfully before standing at attention. "As you were, this will be your first contract captains. Now gather around, I want everyone to see what the situation is." He said as they circled the table. The wolf unrolled a large map and pointed to it. "Study this closely. It took a week of scouting to get this clear of a picture on our objective. Skirmish captain." "Yes my lord." Confirmed the grizzled Amarok. "How many teams are ready for action?" Ceberune asked. "Four my lord. Two more can be pressed into service within the next two days if need be." "Four is sufficient for this contract captain. I want one team to go with me. We will be infiltrating the camp and liberating the captured slaves. The other three teams will be surrounding the camp, and when the fighting starts, will be picking off and chasing down any runners." The captain nodded. The Bsani female spoke next. "What are we facing my lord?" "A well entrenched camp of approximately one hundred and twenty slavers. They currently have twenty kidnapped victims held here." He said pointing to the largest open air part of the camp, smack in the middle of it. "How in the nine hells are we supposed to infiltrate that?" The Skirmish captain spoke up. The wolf smiled. "That is what the Vanguard will help facilitate. With support from the Sharpshooters." He said nodding to the Kitsune female. "I have eight teams ready for support my lord." He nodded. "Good. Vanguard, you will be threatening this area of the camp." He said indicating one of the smaller tents on the southwest end of the camp." "Attack the leaders tent and headquarters area? That will draw over three quarters of the camp! We can't handle more than about half the camp at once." The Bsani said conservatively. "You will have support from both sharpshooters and the magical and healing corps." Ceberune stated. "My lord, those corps don't even have captains yet, much less a fully functional unit..." she was interrupted as a familiar Tiger and rabbit entered the tent. "Correct, which is why we are supporting the Vanguards." Bianca said confidently. Surprisingly the young sharpshooter captain spoke up before the flustered vanguard could speak up. "I have to object my lord. Our three founders should not be putting themselves in harm's way at once." The wolf smiled. "Objection noted captain, but for the rates we are getting paid for this contract, I would feel better knowing that the first mission we go out on has some overwhelming odds." "For whose side though my lord? They out number us by two to one, even if we threw all our support behind the vanguard line, we could never destroy this camp as per the contract." The Skirmish captain said. The wolf smiled. "You are assuming We are going to be sweeping through and locking down the camp to exterminate everyone by hand. Without magical support you are correct, the operation would break down within minutes of engagement, but As Bianca there knows, I do not fight fair." He said switching to a separate map, showing the entire compound. "Sharpshooter's I want teams here and here." He said pointing out specific areas. "You may need to eliminate guards or pickets to get into position for these spots, otherwise place teams at your discretion. Try to avoid placing any in the camp for support. Make sure you have at least two teams that can pick up and reposition on a signal. Most of the camp is Amarok or Bsani. Very little range support, but be ready to vacate should you be threatened." He said, the Kitsune captain nodded, making notes and drawing out her own plans. "Vanguard, you will bunker down here until the ruckus starts." The Vanguard looked confused. "I thought we were the ruckus." He chuckled. "You are the flanking maneuver. You will attempt to secure the HQ and commander's tents so that the infiltration team can search them before we raze the camp. Leave a security team to keep the area secure then push further into the camp to continue the chaos." Bomani chuckled. "I will be the starting gambit captain. I will roar out a warriors challenge, which will draw the camp's Bsani population to the opposite side of the camp." Bomani said. "That's suicide! You will be over run by at least a 3rd of the camp!" The vanguard captain piped in. Bomani chuckled. "Do you doubt my prowess warrior?" he challenged. She growled and stepped forward only to be brought up short by a bunny crackling with electricity. "Give me an excuse captain..." Bianca said dangerously before the ice cold tone of Ceberune broke over the ocean of building rage in the tent. "This is a planning meeting. If my captains cannot control themselves long enough to let their rage out on the enemy then perhaps it is time for some corporal punishment. Now everyone back to the table or there will be blood, and that blood will not be mine..." the wolf said in his cold commanding tone. Even a diehard royal stopped dead in her tracks at his tone. They all returned to the table, fear now a scent wafting through the air. "When I started this outfit, I did so for many reasons, one of which was to bring many different people and nations together to work together, even if it was just on a contractual basis. As the unit arrived for training I made sure that the idea of a chain of command was important. For all intents and purposes I am the commanding officer of this unit. On most estates, the Lord does not get involved in his unit unless it must be conscripted to defend his land. Because the main export of this estate has been in question for so long I will establish it now. We are not farmers here, nor craftsman. This is not an academy of higher learning. We do not make weapons in the inanimate sense. What we export is expertise. Our expertise is war. Killing people and breaking things is what we do here ladies and gentlemen. As we do it for money, we will not always be able to pick and choose the jobs we can take. As such the word of the day is professional. Act professional even if you do not agree with what you are doing. Inevitably we will be doing things like escorting slave caravans, ousting minor lords or squatters from land. Regardless of how distasteful the work, remember to remain professional, because you are getting paid for your expertise, not your beliefs or opinions. That also means that if something the client does violates a contractual agreement, it is well within your rights to practice your expertise on him or her. We are a business, but we are also a part of the military. I will brook no disrespect amongst your peers. It costs time and money to replace idiots, and we have little of either to spare. That includes my headquarters staff that are coming along on this little contract because I am allowing it..." he wolf said in his cold tone, All the gathered captains saluted, Bomani and Bianca bowed in respect. "Now that I am done establishing the alpha male role, we have more briefing to do..." The wolf said continuing the planning well into the afternoon.
That evening after a typically rousing supper, the wolf retired to his quarters alone, or so he thought as he closed the door behind him. It had been a long day for him and his captains. They were likely briefing and talking tacics with their units as he turned to look at the level of the fire in the fireplace. What he saw there would have caused most normal males to go into an immediate lustful coma. The wolf just became instantly erect as he watched his house concubine slide her digits in and out of her sex, her other paw full of breast as her fingers playfully teased her erect nipples. Her eyes were wide open, watching the reaction from the wolf. To his credit he stretched himself out before he placed his blades on their rack with loving care. The he slowly stripped off his kimono, letting her see exactly what affect she was having on him. He sat there, next to her well within her reach as he simply watched her. She murred invitingly as her paws continued to play over her body, tempting him to help her if he wished. "I was under the impression that you were supposed to help keep down my stress levels." He commented, still not reaching out to touch or otherwise participate. She giggled cutely then moaned in pleasure before answering. "There are two different types of stress my lord, by increasing one, I can decrease the other." She said, stretching out fully and giving yet another offer to the wolf. His member twitched in response to the tease, but he otherwise remained stoic. She smiled and rolled onto her belly then crawled to him taking a playful sniff of his arousal. "May I?" she asked huskily. "Considering you are wholly responsible for my current state, you may." He said. She smiled hungrily and ran her rough tongue up over his sac, then up his sheath, and teasingly up his shaft to his glans. She looked up into his one eye and began to swirl her tongue around the tip before grabbing the base of his shaft and sliding the top half of his length into her muzzle. The wolf growled in pleasure, his back arching as the skilled female happily sucked him to his first twitch. Once she tasted that first squirt of pre, she slid her muzzle off of his member and again began teasing his glans with her tongue. "If I did not know better, I would think you are trying to suck the life from me." He teased. She smiled playfully. "I cannot relieve you the way that would be best, so I must make due...or in this case, I must make cum..." she said hungrily before she took his member back into her muzzle, this time taking his shaft deep and hard. He growled in pleasure again, his back arching as she knew it would. His hips began gyrating reflexively, much to her carnal amusement. What she was not expecting, was the gentle teasing of her ears as she bobbed her muzzle up and down his phallus. Pleasure arced through her body at his touch, and despite need to make him cum, she took a moment to relish this pleasure as her sex clenched on nothing. With a sudden lull she found herself lifted and rotated, her muzzle still having easy access to his member, but her sex now being assaulted by that evil tongue of his made her yip as she hungrily went to work on him again. Only a few more minutes of this and she got twitch number two out of him. Much to her embarrassment, he also got a face full of her juices as a good and hard orgasm shook her frame. The wolf chuckled as she took a moment to catch her breath. "Still not used to my tongue?" he asked teasingly. "I love your tongue my lord." She said huskily. "But I still have a job to finish down here." She said before she began deep-throating him. As she expected, he did not last long and with that orgasmic howl she found herself quickly swallowing his hot load as he pumped it into her hungry mouth. He was panting heavily as she cleaned up the remaining mess around his cock and balls with what could only be described as a Bsani purr. The wolf quickly recovered from the pleasure and continued teasing provided by the hungry fox. "I do hope you are quite satisfied..." the wolf said in a teasing voice. She smiled seductively. "For now my lord." She said as she began to dress herself. Despite himself, he looked at her with his eye still full of lust and she smiled invitingly in turn. He quickly shook the lust out of his mind and dressed himself as well. "Then do go about your duties...the ones that do not require making me aroused or getting me to cum preferably or one of these days I will bend you over..." She interrupted giving his nose a playful lick before she left his quarters. "Promises promises..." she teased as she left. "I am going to have to make her scream my name when the time comes..." He mumbled to himself. He then finished dressing and sat down to begin cleaning his blades.
