The legend of a warrior; chapter 2 - Become the alpha male
#2 of The legend of a warrior
*After well over a decade since this project started, my english has vastly improved, as have my skills as writer. I have decided to rewrite the early chapters of Legend to better tell the story, correct the atrocious english of those past days and give the characters a better chance to present themselves from early on. *
_A content warning ahead of this chapter: it contains cuckolding, rape, death and cock-abortion. If such content is not your cup of tea, you might not want to read the sex scenes, or the chapter at all. But if you have a taste for the more extreme, i hope you enjoy this greatly. _
Chapter 2: Becoming King
**_A kingdom enslaved,
craving a savior, lays ahead of a warrior who lost his way and that dreams of
redemption. _**
Killer
strolled towards his motorcycle, his head bowed, largely ignoring the 'platoon
of honor' that had formed around him. Honor guard? No, not really. This was
honor out of fear, but he supposed that was the most he could expect right now
from these... soldiers.
Well, he
had put on quite a show for them, he supposed, although there was admittedly
quite a bit of scorn in those thoughts. He had come back up north looking for
more of a challenge than the southern lands had ever provided, thinking about
all the pride his own race had always had in combat, in war, in rising to each
and every challenge that stood before them, but... ah, look at these little
kittens he found instead!
Killer
snorted in contempt as his eyes shifted over the soldiers. At least they were
good at obeying orders, if nothing else. He had already sent several of them on
ahead before leaving the bar to inform the king that he was here to issue a
challenge to him... although from what he'd been told, there was a good chance
that this Griagas wasn't going to be exactly eager to meet with him.
As far as
he was concerned though, this kingdom, Kesteven, was already his. The battle
was going to be a mere formality, and he was already irritated that this 'Griagas'
wasn't coming out here to meet him as it was...
He wasn't
going to pretend there wasn't a... almost a melancholy, though. He thought of
the times in the past, when his father, Seth, had taught him how to meet and
face challengers for the throne. He had spoken of courtesy and honor, what was
almost a ritual from the moment the challenger arrived to the moment of the
fight: you welcomed your opponent, you showed grace, and decorum, you invited
them in and made them comfortable, because they were supposed to treat each
other as equals, as in death, all were made the same.
The massive
liger snorted as he mounted his motorcycle, barely giving the soldiers around
him a look as they shuffled nervously, their mumbles and excuses and weak
wishes going unheard over the sound of the engine roaring to life. He tore back
out into the road without so much as a glance at the tigers, heading down the
highway towards what would soon all be his.
He didn't
like that he had a few misgivings, though. This wasn't what he'd expected to
find on his return to the North. Sure, war and combat were a way of life here,
but this was different. This was ugly, and rather than protecting the people,
the soldiers here seemed intent on enforcing the tyranny of the king. They had
become fat and greedy, feeding on the carcass of the state and throwing around
their weight, enjoying their new supremacy not just over the lower castes, but
over the echelons that had once been their equals.
As the
massive liger tore down the highway on his motorcycle, heading into Kendrew
from the south, he couldn't help but notice the... desolation. It was like a
gray pall descended over the entire world, filtering it in monochrome. It took
him a moment to realize what it was: there was no activity. There was an
emptiness, all around him, making it cold and lonely, with no company but the
bitter wind that tore across him as he drove into the desolate kingdom.
It wasn't
very long before he started seeing activity, though, but what he saw was far
from pleasant: he saw massive factories and munitions depots, armor rolling
into position around them and soldiers who looked strange to his eyes even at a
distance moving into tight defensive formations. They looked like they were
fortifying and digging in: something told him about the way they were going
about it there would be no peaceful transfer of power once Griagas was dead,
too.
That was a
bizarre thought. He wasn't sure of the last time a kingdom hadn't peacefully
transferred power: if warriors or followers felt so strongly about their former
king that they could not bear to serve under a new ruler, then they usually
went into exile. There were rules to these things. Traditions to be upheld.
Laws that...
_Ah, but
you were always too good for laws,_ sneered a voice inside his head, and Killer
scowled a little as he leaned into the wind. _What makes you think they don't
feel the same way?_
Killer
tried to tell himself that was... different, and dismiss that voice from his
head. He shook himself briefly out: he was here now, wasn't he? Fulfilling
some... archaic destiny that had always been meant for him, or...
Why was he
here?
Sure, he
had his reasons, but they sounded false and tinny to his ears. He was still
wrestling with both what he was doing and why he was here in some way inside of
himself.
But that
really wasn't something worth thinking too much about right now. He had more
important things to take care of, like dragging this 'king' out of hiding and
putting things here...
Right?
Killer
snorted at this thought, before he slowed with a frown as something else caught
his eye. He straightened a bit, broad shoulders tensing slightly, massive frame
lifting itself a bit from the bike as he noted something approaching in the
distance.
A patrol
rumbled towards him: several APCs that were almost comically overburdened with
soldiers, the liger wondering how many must be crammed inside if there were
that many riding on top. And what was the point of such a show of force,
anyway?
Why were
there so many military patrols and movements rattling around this territory,
even outside of settlements? Sure, the Northlands tended to be in a constant
state of flux, but at this struck him less as mobilization and field training,
and more as if Griagas cared more about keeping his own kingdom under his thumb
rather than protecting it from any threats outside his borders.
Petty
tyranny, focused inwards. Fear: tin despots like Griagas were always afraid,
which led to them only making their own people suffer, and being manipulated by
false promises of safety and security, of a new, bigger weapon that could crush
their enemies and keep their slaves in line, of riches and wealth that could
never be taken away from them.
But there
was no such thing as immortality for cowards.
He passed
more patrols, more factories, more fortifications: some of the structures
looked old, but a lot of them looked much newer, towering structures of steel
and new-age concrete. Where had Griagas found the money to fund all these
structures, and how had he acquired the blueprints and plans? And how was he so
blind to the fact that the RA troops were clearly using him for their own ends?
Well, he
supposed he already had the answer to that.
Killer
drove onward, turning his eyes away from the endless succession of patrols and
soldiers, away from the countless dominoes of towers, the rambling sprawls of
massive factories that jutted towards the sky like crude teeth.
These were
the bones of an empire, crawling with maggots and birthing more beasts of metal
from within their jagged ribs. Killer had felt a... a tangible difference in
the air when he'd first entered the Northlands, and now, he could feel another
difference, as the air grew colder and darker, and that feeling of desolation
only grew deeper.
He was at
least glad to see that so far, the patrols and soldiers were honoring the rules
of the challenge he had issued to their king, but for some reason, he didn't anticipate
that was going to last forever. A fish rotted from the head, after all, and
considering how he'd already seen officers behaving and the stories passed on
from Athena and Joy, he suspected that sooner rather than later there was going
to be some trouble coming his way.
Still, at
least this was going to be interesting, if nothing else. And maybe it was for
the best, in a way: he was doing a service, really, for the other kingdoms of
the Northlands, toppling this embarrassment's empire and dismantling his army.
Besides, he felt a strange sort of responsibility for this Griagas; maybe if
he'd been a better example in past days, maybe if he had remained in Kesteven,
Kendrew never would have been taken over and reduced to the sorry state it was
in now.
He tried to
push away those thoughts. They weren't helpful for the situation, he told
himself. And he didn't like the stirrings of guilt in his gut.
It was one
thing, after all, to be in the South, where they expected him to be a
barbarian, where its prejudiced peoples had never really given him a chance to
be anything but a brute, and their puny statures, their often lazy, backwards
cultures, and the way that they had derided him when he tried to behave but
all-but-worshiped him when he had been cruel and strong... well, it was easy to
look down at them, as nothing but bugs.
Now he was
back among his own people. Seeing his people suffering, and seeing someone who
had once been one of their own, likely from his homeland, whom he had perhaps
once or twice even passed or fought on the same battlefield as... that hurt in
ways that were hard to explain. And it created a twisted mirror for his
conscience, which had stirred from its long slumber when he'd looked down at
the wolf.
He had
tried to be dismissive, even derisive. But it was different, all the same, when
you were facing down someone who had grown up in their culture and saw that
broken trust in them: after all, the trade between the low castes and the high
was that the high was supposed to protect, supposed to maintain law and order,
but instead...
Now he was
thinking about all those southerners. And not just the meaningless bugs he'd
crushed, but all the people he'd abandoned, left behind, used up, and he
wondered... had they looked the same as that wolf?
'Doggy.'
He snorted,
then frowned as he straightened on his motorcycle, a moue of distaste forming
on his lips as he realized there was a roadblock ahead. He released the
throttle, allowing the machine to glide over the road and gradually slow until
he came to a halt only some thirty feet from the vehicles that had sealed off
the road.
“I hope
you're here to keep any troublemakers out, not to stop me from getting to the
king." Killer noted as he looked critically at the APCs and smaller support
vehicles, all of them bristling with armed and armored tigers.
But all of
them also looked frightened and confused, too, like they weren't sure what they
were doing here. And none of them dared to speak up to answer the liger's
question, which he would have found amusing if he didn't know that every moment
he wasted here was another that Griagas no doubt took to find a place to hide.
Not that he
couldn't tear open any bunker that Kendrew's ruler might retreat into... but
there was always the concern that he might be smart enough to flee the country
by air, and while there was no way such a cowardly move would see Griagas
getting any kind of sanctuary in any other northern kingdom, it would all the
same create all kinds of pain in the ass complications for him to deal with.
“Sorry,
sir, uh... no, we're not going to get in your way, uh, sir." finally spoke up
one nervous tiger near the front.
“Well,
that's funny, considering you seem to be... in my way." Killer couldn't help
but note, gesturing pointedly at the blockade as he straddled his motorcycle,
his eyes narrowing slightly.
Soldiers
shifted nervously and gulped, clutching their weapons, looking uncomfortable:
the young ones, the brasher ones, they were trying to snarl, but the rest of
them were quaking in their armor. Not just because they knew the stories about
him, he thought, but also because he had sent those other soldiers ahead to
warn Griagas he was coming for him, and he knew there was nothing so contagious
as the kind of terror he had put into those unfortunate souls.
There was a
shift of hesitation, and then the soldier said finally: “We won't... interfere
with the duel, but..."
“But?"
Killer said, tapping a foot impatiently, his eyes narrowing further. He really
didn't have time for these kinds of games.
“There are
RA soldiers ahead, Lord Killer!" blurted another soldier, and Killer frowned as
his eyes flicked towards this grunt, who cowed a little under the liger's icy
eyes, but he continued anxiously: “They... they've set up blockades and..."
“Ah, I see.
So they forced you out of wherever you were and sent you here to stop me. But
instead you're going to be good little boys and warn me about what's going on
ahead, and not get in my way?" Killer phrased it as a question, but it was
clear that really, it was an order.
“There
are... rules." said one of the soldiers grudgingly, squeezing his rifle, before
he snarled: “But don't think for a minute that if you weren't going to fight
the king, we wouldn't try and stop you."
“'Try' is
the key word there, kitten." Killer retorted, voice dripping with derision. The
soldier snarled at him as several others shifted, both aggressive and fearful,
like cornered dogs, and the liger couldn't help but snort and smile wryly.
Maybe he
had a few seconds to spare. It wouldn't take more than a minute at most to
remind these soldiers of their place.
He flicked
down the kickstand of his bike, climbing off and striding towards the blockade.
The smarter soldiers scattered as others rose their rifles, and Killer noted
with disdain the waver, the fear, the lack of focus as their bravado drained as
his titanic shadow fell over them. A hulking menace, he towered far above even
the tallest tiger here, and his contempt for them made him seem a hundred feet
higher.
He advanced
directly on the soldier who had spoken, who lost his nerve, staggering
backwards into the narrow gap between two APCs. And, without slowing, Killer
calmly followed, reaching a hand out to either side without taking his eyes off
the soldier, and he shoved both APCs backwards like toys with a loud screech of
grinding gears and rubber tearing against asphalt, soldiers scattering and
shouting, a tiger that had been perched in his thought-safe place on one of the
vehicles tumbling off.
The kitten
that had been dumb enough to mouth off to him fell back on his ass, dragging
himself backwards, shaking, shivering, mouthing wordlessly as he stared up at
the full might and terror of Killer Huxley, the Prince of Kesteven, and Killer
looked down at him for a few moments with distaste before he smiled as he put
his hands on his hips and leaned down, saying easily: “Don't look so
frightened. I was just helping you move those toys out of my way. If I wanted
to hurt you... you would all already be dead."
He paused,
then straightened and turned to head back to his motorcycle, remarking as he
walked away: “You might want to change your pants, soldier. Otherwise you're
never going to be able to wash out that stink of fear-piss."
He drove
on, leaving the humiliated troops in his wake, smiling to himself: but he
quickly refocused as he assessed what was waiting for him. That only confirmed
what he had already suspected, but it was good to know there was trouble ahead:
that knowledge might be enough to buy him precious few seconds to react before
the RA troops did, once they came into range of each other.
Killer
didn't have long to wait: after all, he was kind of a large target, and right
now, the only thing moving along the highway towards Kendrew itself: but
thankfully, he also had sharp eyes that were used to looking for the
regularities of certain shapes even against a dark sky, and the moment he saw
the first flash, heard the telltale bang, he knew what was coming.
The
explosion lit up the night sky as he roared past, the liger's lip curling:
well, at least they were firing a warning shot first. Either that, or they had
terrible aim.
He
zigzaggged down the highway, leaning his impressive weight into the yielding as
he accelerated. Cannonfire began to crash into the road next to him, tearing up
the asphalt in great blasts of smoke and force, but his erratic movement was
having the intended effect, letting him weave fearlessly between shots as
flashes in the distance illuminated his enemy.
This was
dishonorable, he thought with contempt. Dishonorable, but perhaps also one of
the more intelligent courses of action that the so-called 'King' of Kendrew
could take. It wasn't like there was any tiger in the Northlands who could
possibly stand against him, after all... and even this was barely a
distraction.
The closer
he got, the sharper his movements had to become to avoid the cannonfire; he was
more concerned that they might damage his motorcycle than him, however, and it
showed in his grin, the almost-amused look in his icy blue eyes.
He already
knew what they were going to do, as he came closer down the wide highway, even
before they did: a lifetime of military experiences had taught him more than
they would ever learn, especially if they were so intent on ending their lives
here and now.
Killer
grinned, his eyes narrowing before he suddenly twisted the handlebars of his
bike hard to the side as he roughly jackknifed off the seat of the machine: his
huge paws slammed into the concrete with enough force to shatter the road as he
launched himself into the air, just a moment before the highway in front of him
was blasted apart by centered cannonfire.
The
combination of massive strength and momentum launched him as if from a
catapult, his motorcycle held over his back by the handlebars with one hand
like it weighed less than nothing. He landed with the motorcycle across his
shoulders directly in front of one of the tanks, and he immediately reached up
and seized it by the barrel of the cannon, before his biceps bulged with
tremendous power as he leaned sideways and yanked the war machine sideways to
smash it into its fellow.
The
machines crashed together with a tremendous bang, the cannon of the tank Killer
had swung like a club nearly tearing loose as it crumpled like tin, the treads
of the other tank screaming as it skidded to the side and almost tipped off the
highway, soldiers scattering with shouts of warning to each other.
One of the
tank's mounted machineguns opened fire, swiveling towards him, but Killer leapt
upwards, making the tank rock and bounce as he easily surmounted it in two easy
steps. He could hear soldiers stumbling into position and opening fire with
small arms, but they were confused, clearly taken off guard not just by his
strength but his speed, giving him a powerful advantage over the unit that had
been left to wait for him.
They were
only a small group: a handful of soldiers, two tanks, and an APC behind them.
Killer snorted in contempt as he placed a foot on the still-firing tank
machinegun, then pushed it ever-so-gently by his standards; a gentility that
was enough to shatter the motorized controls and forcibly twist the gun in the
direction of soldiers nearby, sending one down in a splatter of blood as others
stumbled for cover and opened up against him. He couldn't help but notice the
different uniforms, the prominent RA marks on the heavy plates of armour which
looked like they were built directly over their bodies, and the fact that they
were all much taller and bulkier with muscle than average. Not only that, they
appeared to have mechanical exoskeletons enhancing even further the power of
their limbs and enabling them to carry oversized weapons with a far greater
stopping power.
They
appeared surprised by his strength and speed, but not scared, and that was
amazing, considering the kind of supernatural power facing them. They were
either elite veterans with very good discipline and quite some pride and
confidence in their fighting prowess… or they were completely insane and still
unable to realize the impossible odds stacked against them.
Killer
hopped easily to the top of the other tank, stomping on the machinegun before
it could turn towards him and knocking it out of place with a scream of
machinery and wiring tearing as it twisted away, firing uselessly into the
night sky.
He hopped
backwards, landing in front of the war machine before he gave a wry grin as he
heard the roar of the engine: the armor lurched towards him, but with one hand
he easily halted the advance, with his motorcycle still held over his back with
the ease of carrying a jacket over his shoulder.
The cannon
tried to turn towards him, but it banged uselessly and harmlessly against his
cheek, and he gave a snort of contempt: they didn't even know how to use these
new toys they had been given.
With ease,
he reached up and seized the cannon with his free hand, and then he twisted it
hard, hauling the entire tank sideways; a mere revolution of his wrist, and the
whole tank was sent rolling over, crashing and banging to the side.
The
soldiers on that side were crushed beneath the roll of the machine, while the
ones inside were banged and smashed around like legos inside a plastic shell.
Killer snorted as he finally set down his motorcycle, walking over to the
battered war machine in a few easy, massive strides before he grasped it firmly
by one of its dusty treads.
He rocked
it roughly back and forth, making the contents inside the tank bang and bounce,
before he hefted it into the air with a roar as he turned, flinging it into the
other damaged tank. They smashed together with such force they were both
knocked bouncing and rolling, a thunder of metal filling the air as they
crashed and banged their way off the highway and smashed their way into the
soldiers that remained.
As the dust
settled, there were only bodies left behind and two overturned tanks. The APC
sat silent: whether it was because the soldiers inside didn't dare pick a fight
with him, or because it had only been carrying the troops he'd already
dispatched, he didn't know or care.
He
approached the vehicle, running his hand over the hull of the APC before he
frowned at the unfamiliar RA logo on its side, wondering once more what the
hell was going on, and bitterly regretting not paying closer attention to what
was going on back home, in all the years he had spent rampaging over enemies
too weak to put up a decent fight, who were full of arrogance and nothing more.
The vehicle
was highly advanced, even more than anything he had seen fielded by the
southern countries, even though Ire and its satellites literally depended on
their technological edge to try and balance the tiger's massive advantage in raw
strength and toughness. It was heavily armed, with a massive fast-firing gun
mounted on a remotely operated, high-elevation turret which also had a coaxial
machine gun and a stubby grenade launcher. Whoever was inside was pretending,
with quite some effort, to be dead, and the turret made no motion to try and
point its weapons against him, even as he traced his finger down the RA mark.
For what he
could see, the vehicle was cutting edge, and well built. It was somewhat
streamlined in places, but always in intelligent ways. The designers had put
quite some effort in making sure these things could be produced quickly and in
huge numbers, and that was exactly what was happening. He had driven past vast
car parks that were covered end to end in newly produced tanks and armoured
vehicles, orderly lined up, row on row, ready to be handed over to equally
freshly trained crews. Kendrew was building up a massive RA-marked army, and
that could only mean trouble.
He pushed a
hand against the metal, then gave a wry smile as he effortlessly shoved the
enormous vehicle sideways, ignoring the way the heavy duty tires screamed and
smoldered on the asphalt as they ground unnaturally to the side, leaving thick,
smelly smears of rubber on the road. Killer knew there were at least a couple
of soldiers inside, and probably more, and he was pretty sure he heard fearful
cries coming from inside at one point, but they all wisely did their best to
stay silent and pretend they were not there, even as the APC tilted violently
to one side as it slid off the road and crashed into the deep ditch, almost
laying on one side.
Killer smirked
and ostensibly dusted his hands off, then walked back to his motorcycle and
rode onwards on the now clear road, easily avoiding the ruined, mangled hulks
of the tanks that had almost fused together in a pile of scrap metal with the
violence of the impact. None of those vehicles should have been in the streets;
there was no need for it.
Or better,
there would have been no need if the king had been a strong leader, confident
both in his strength and in his aims. Oppression like this was what happened
when countries were led by weak, spoiled brats who wanted to have more power
than they truly possessed, and feared the day in which someone would inexorably
put an end to their abuses.
Griagas was
just that kind of brat. Everything Joy and Athena had said was proving true
already, and Killer was disgusted, and sincerely shocked, that something like
this had happened in his beloved northlands, in the land where honor was
everything and warriors followed a well coded tradition. This was the kind of
cowardly behavior he had come to associate with the southern regions of the
world, not with home.
How had the
corruption spread so far north? And how deep did the roots already reach?
Very deep,
Killer bitterly reflected. The fact that there were two different armies
uneasily patrolling the streets was a telltale signal. Kendrew's soldiers were
deployed in force in the streets to act as a buffer between the locals and the
RA, to try and mask the fact that the RA, whatever the propaganda said, was an
invasion armada and already the dominant force in the kingdom.
Killer had
traveled the world and seen its share of unlikely alliances and nervous, uneasy
cooperation between troops that all too obviously didn't like each other. But
he had never come across a climate as poisoned and oppressive as the one he
sensed here, in Kendrew, the last place where he expected to find such horror.
The
population was terrified, of both their own troops, which should have been
their protectors, and even more so of the taciturn, apparently emotionless
hulks in RA colors.
Kendrew's
soldiers themselves were clearly terrified of their RA “ally".
And it was
clear that Griagas feared more than just the coming of a challenger that would
defeat him and take away the throne. He feared more than his people revolting
and refusing to follow him, as they should have done, considering that he was
clearly not fit to be a king, going against everything the Tradition demanded.
Griagas
feared the RA, the very “ally" that he had at first enthusiastically invited
into Kendrew to cement his power.
Griagas was
no king. He was a puppet in the RA's hands. Toys like those tanks and APCs were
very expensive, after all, and often cost you more than just money. Griagas had
deployed his army in the streets to balance the ever growing RA presence, and
hopefully keep it in check… but it was already clear that his calculations had
been badly wrong. The RA troops were more numerous, better equipped and made up
by larger, bulky hulks of muscle who put most of Kendrew's soldiers to shame.
It was already evident who was truly in charge. Griagas was almost literally a
prisoner of his own royal palace, already.
Killer made
a grimace at the thought, and bitterly grumbled that it served the idiot right.
How had he not seen it coming…? The liger rumbled on, guiding his motorbike
easily down the wide main avenue of Kendrew south. He knew the place well, and
even though the RA had built miles upon miles of new factories and barracks and
parking lots and railway heads, one thing hadn't changed: the wide, straight
road that went up the narrow peninsula that protruded like a finger into the
huge lake, pointing at the fortified island in the middle of the calm, cold
waters.
It was the
main avenue of Kendrew, a wide, almost monumental open boulevard flanked by
shops and restaurants and night clubs, and he remembered it shorter, but full
of life and lights. Now it was much longer, thanks to the appearance of a
forest of ugly residential towers, all identical, all essential, cold and sad.
Those huge condos had been built to host a whole lot of workers that were
little more than glorified slaves, working in turns in the new RA factories.
When they
weren't working, they were all holed up into those towers, getting some much
needed sleep before going back for another endless, exhausting shift spent
building weapons for the mysterious organization.
The town
had been reduced to little more than a gigantic dormitory adjacent to the
sprawling new factories. Even when he reached “old" Kendrew, Killer saw that
most of the restaurants and clubs and shops were shut down, silent and dark.
There were just a few open pubs and clubs, the strict necessary for Kendrew's
soldiers to have somewhere to drown some of their shame and boredom into
alcohol and cheap sex, but apart from that there was nothing left. Not a single
civilian roaming the streets. It was like all life had been sucked out of
Kendrew, and it made Killer grimace in growing fury and disgust.
He had seen
urban scenery just as miserable as this one, but only in the south. Ire had
quite a few nightmare towns like that, and they were even more frequent in some
of the “socialist paradises" he had found in several other southern countries,
ruled by tinpot dictators and self-proclaimed “paladins of the people". Gods,
he had never thought that such cancerous corruption could make its way so far
up north. Especially not with his father ruling over Kesteven.
The RA had
to have truly long and scary tentacles to be able to encroach upon Kesteven's
borders like that without king Seth Huxley crushing it out of existence.
Why didn't you ask for my help, dad…? Killer bitterly thought… but the
true bitterness came from knowing all too well the reason why his family hadn't
thought it a good idea to call him back home.
In the
distance, he could already see the lights of the fortified city, and their
reflection in the lake. He could already tell that the drawbridges that
connected the peninsula to the island-fortress had been lifted to shut him out,
and he snorted contemptibly at that. They were definitely preparing to resist
him, the same way cities in the past would have prepared for an approaching
army... and he wasn't sure what offended him more: the way they were spitting
on Tradition, on their well codified, ancient Laws; or the fact they believed
there was anything they could do to shut him out.
Here he had
fought one of the most savage battles in the history of the Northlands. Here he
had, almost single-handedly, repealed Dark's armada when it was at the height
of its power, when many kings of the North had thought defeat was unavoidable.
The fortress snaking its way up the mountains to the west carried his name
still, because before that immense castle had been built, he had hauled heavy
artillery pieces on top of the mountain, carrying them on his shoulders.
He had been
barely 20 at the time, when he had become the “Savior of the North", “Wyvern",
the “Scourge of Dark", and a million other titles. Did they really believe they
could possibly resist him…? Had they already forgotten the miraculous feats of
strength they had witnessed…?
The best
part of a decade had passed, sure, but he had not imagined that a mere 10 years
away from the Northlands would prove long enough for random soldiers to believe
they could defy him. It was as if he had faded into legend, and they had forgotten
who he was, what he was capable of, perhaps that he'd even truly existed at
all, as if he was nothing but clamor and myth.
The legend
of a warrior, he thought wryly. But he was so much more than that, and far more
than simply a young prince here to claim a throne.
Gradually,
a second barricade came into view: this one wasn't a warning, however. This one
had far more vehicles, and far more soldiers, with sandbags and portable walls
already set up, and soldiers all standing at the ready. Many, if not most, were
massive, heavily armoured RA troopers like the ones he had just crushed out of
existence. He had a change to study them a bit better now, and he frowned with
interest at the realization of just how complex and heavy the exoskeletons
were, incorporating heavy armour plates and electro-mechanic actuators running
down the limbs, enabling those already physically imposing soldiers to carry
and employ super-sized weapons that made their Kendrew counterparts look like
children trying to imitate the real warriors.
There was a
disturbing resemblance between those super-sized, mechanically-enhanced hulks
and the “super-soldiers" that Ire and other southern countries frantically
attempted to produce in the quest for weapons that would be effective against
the tigers… and Killer in particular. The liger had taken down a great number
of living “prototypes" produced in the nightmarish laboratories of Ire's army,
and it was hard not to think that the RA was tinkering with the same kind of
dangerous genetic and cybernetic meddling. These RA super-soldiers looked at
once more and less advanced than some of the others he had had to deal with in
the past, depending on what piece of equipment he focused on. However, they
were clearly available in numbers and had one fundamental advantage over Ire's
own super-soldiers: the mechanical enhancements were applied not on the frail,
small bodies of southern “prey" species, but on bulky, powerful,
already-larger-than-average tiger warriors.
He did not
expect the RA troops to get out of his way, but there were others standing in
front of the checkpoint, visibly less sure of what they were doing, and they were
dressed in the uniform of Kendrew. He still hoped that he could get at least
those boys to think about their odds and get out of the way. He didn't want to
have to kill everyone only to become the king of a graveyard, after all.
Killer
allowed his motorcycle to slow, coasting to a gentle halt. Moving slowly and
carefully, he climbed off his vehicle. He didn't want to startle them, after
all, and this let him get a little closer, into a better position even as he
spread his arms.
He was
roughly thirty feet away: just a single pounce for him, but they didn't need to
know that. Not unless they gave him a lesson to teach them, that was... “Are
you going to let me pass?"
For a
moment, the question hung in the air. He thought he saw an indecisive shift,
and there was a brief second of hope, that maybe fighting could be avoided all
together. The soldiers in Kendrew uniforms began to cautiously back away, and
one officer signaled to the tanks and APCs to move back as well… but
immediately the hulking RA super-soldiers rushed forwards to close the gap, and
some of the bulky, mechanically-enhanced warriors roughly smacked the retreating
tigers with the bodies of their oversized, enormous guns, pushing them back in
line.
“He issued
a challenge, he must be allowed to pass!" Someone loudly protested, and other
voices added their own protests, but Killer gritted his teeth and made a grimace,
already certain that there was going to be no happy ending. He guessed it
before even seeing it: a RA super-soldier moving to the front of the
checkpoint, shouldering a massive box-launcher. A flash of fire and a cloud of
smoke, and not one but two missiles, easily three times the size of a normal
anti-tank guided weapon, flew towards Killer.
It all
happened in a split second, but the liger had already started swerving out of
the way before the bulky warrior fired his weapon. The motorbike roared and the
wheels squeaked on the asphalt with the acceleration while Killer dropped to
one side and bent the heavy vehicle to shoot into a side street, turning the
corner of a large building and looking over his shoulder as the missiles
attempted to follow him, violently turning to the side, presumably locked onto
his and the bike's thermal signature. They were too fast to make such a sudden,
tight turn, and the liger watched with horror as they crashed into the façade
of the building on the other side of the street, tearing through the wall and
ripping a path of destruction into someone's house, before the impact against
the walls eventually triggered the fuzes and they exploded, projecting immense
clouds of super-sized shrapnel which shredded the walls of the building like
they were made of paper, while three great jets of armor-piercing jets of
molten metal drew fiery streaks through the air and splattered onto the ground,
melting the asphalt and tearing deep trenches in it.
His ears
filled with the painful whistle caused by the wave of pressure, and he felt
several large pieces of shrapnel smacking violently into his back, the large
metal pieces crumpling against his enormous musculature and mostly bouncing
harmlessly off, but he grunted as he was almost smacked off the saddle. As his
hearing returned, he heard the shrieks of agony of wounded civilians inside the
stricken, burning building, and the screams of fear and confusion coming from a
myriad of windows as lights turned on all around… but he also heard the shouts
of fury and protest of Kendrew soldiers, mixed with gunfire.
It was
immediately clear that the guns firing were not aimed at him. Or at least, not
all of them. He stomped one boot down on the asphalt, his steel sole biting
into it like it was as soft as flesh, and he made an abrupt about-turn, cursing
under his breath: in a clash between Kendrew's soldiers and RA beasts, the
former were going to get massacred. He shot back down the street, trying to
ignore the flames and carnage and moving past parked cars that had been torn
open by the hailstorm of shrapnel, and his eyes narrowed as one of the RA
super-soldiers charged in from behind the corner, his already massive arm
enhanced by a visible electro-actuator which whirred as the bulky warrior grabbed
a parked vehicle and hefted it almost like a toy, hurling it violently against
the liger.
Killer
stood up on the pedals and reached forwards, catching the car in midair before
it could crash into him, and sent it rocking back against the RA super-soldier,
who fired a few huge armor-piercing rounds into it, blasting enormous holes
right across the car and setting it on fire just before it smashed into him,
sweeping him off the ground and sending him crashing into the row of parked
cars at the other end of the large boulevard. His heavy body tore through a
city car like it was made of paper, turning it into a mangled pile of scrap
metal, and he sailed right across it to slam into the building behind, crashing
through the closed shutter of an inactive shop. There was a violent, fiery
blast as the fuel of multiple vehicles went up in flames, and Killer could feel
the tremendous heat on his skin as he launched the motorbike back onto the main
boulevard, charging straight at the checkpoint… only to turn sideways with a
grunt of shock as something moved in the middle of the burning inferno, and a
massive rifle angrily barked at him.
Armor-piercing
bullets crashed into him with tremendous force, making him grunt as they
smacked into his shoulder and side, nearly knocking him and the motorbike over,
but the onlookers got the greatest shock as the large bullets crumpled against
Killer's massive muscles, and bounced off almost harmlessly, barely managing to
rip shallow wounds in his formidable musculature.
That sight
alone should have sent the soldiers facing him running away in a panic, but
while Kendrew's warriors stared with wide open eyes, the RA's super soldiers
appeared completely unfazed.
Killer let
out a grunt of confusion and grimaced at the sight of the soldier he had just
hit with a burning car and sent
crashing through other vehicles and a building,
watching as he somehow limped his way out of the fire, his body mangled and
broken and dripping blood yet his hands still squeezing his damaged rifle,
yanking on the trigger to emotionlessly blast rounds out against the liger.
His
fire-retardant uniform was slowly but surely dissolving, overwhelmed by the
roaring flames, and his very flesh and fur were burning away fiercely, and yet
that bulky soldier limped onwards, his face showing no hint of emotion. No
fear, no pain, no instinct of self-conservation at all. He made no attempt to
roll on the ground to extinguish the flames, let out no shriek of agony, didn't
turn his back to attempt to flee. He charged forth instead, moving as quickly
as he could with his broken bones and ruined, badly wounded body, and Killer
stared at that scene with a grimace, wondering what the hell had been done to
those… creatures.
He had seen
more than his fair share of fanatic and nutters and suicidal bombers, but this
was different, and scary: a complete, utter lack of emotion and awareness, even
as the soldier's face literally started to melt away due to the fire consuming
him.
Killer
ducked under the deadly burst of tank-piercing rounds, gritting his fangs as
they sailed past him and smacked into parked vehicles with such force that cars
were knocked back by the mere impact, before the massive rounds simply sailed
through, leaving behind large, smoldering holes and pieces of almost melting
metal. The liger accelerated and threw the bike to the side, brushing the curb
with the large wheels as he stretched one arm out and grabbed a lamp post,
effortlessly ripping the huge steel pole out of the concrete and then throwing
it like a spear, grinning with savage satisfaction as it smacked the burning
super-soldier straight in the chest, ripping right through him and leaving him
impaled several feet off the ground as the pole became lodged deep into the
walls of the building behind.
Still the
mechanically-enhanced hulk struggled, even as blood foamed out of his mouth and
spurted out of his horrific wounds, pulped guts spilling out of him. Finally,
his arms lost all their strength and flopped lifelessly, letting the oversized
rifle fall heavily down to the ground, but Killer couldn't help but make a
grimace at the absurd, fanatic persistence of the fallen.
Right
ahead, the checkpoint had erupted into chaos, as he had guessed: the devastated
corpses of multiple Kendrew soldiers were strewn on the ground in a grotesque
mess of dismembered bodies and spilled insides, their body armour absolutely
incapable to defend them from the super-sized bullets of the RA weapons that
had fired upon them at point blank range.
Other
Kendrew soldiers had quickly ducked behind the portable walls, heavy gabions
filled with dirt, and had survived the initial onslaught, but where now pinned
by a hurricane of fire from a group of determined, cold, massive RA
super-soldiers. There was no hesitation, no second thought at all from there:
in the very moment the soldiers of Kendrew had raised an objection, their RA
comrades had remorselessly cut them down with a hailstorm of bullets.
Killer
gritted his fangs and flattened himself on top of the motorbike, launching it
forwards in a straight charge as other RA hulks trailed their fire against him.
Fountains of dirt and crumbled asphalt and shrapnel surrounded him as multiple
supersized rifles targeted him, and he grunted as blindly reached out with one
hand, his fingers ripping through the metal of a parked truck and gripping into
it, hefting it clear off the ground as he hurled it ahead with a snarl of rage.
The RA
soldiers, acting like machines, switched target and shredded the vehicle in
midair with a hailstorm of anti-tank rounds, and one of the tanks in the
checkpoint finished it off by adding its own High Explosive shell. It struck
the truck and exploded in a massive ball of dirty fire, knocking Killer almost
off his bike as the wave of pressure smacked into him like a wall, followed by
a hailstorm of pre-fragmented steel shrapnel which stabbed with brutal force
into the buildings and parked vehicles on either side of the street. Windows
exploded into slivers of glass all along the boulevard, adding to the carnage,
yet Killer ignored the painful needles of burning metal that pierced through
his skin and charged right through the cloud of fire and black smoke, knowing
that his best, and perhaps only chance, was to close the distance quickly and
take them down in a melee.
He blindly
grabbed another parked vehicle as he went through the thick, acrid smoke, and
tossed it ahead of himself, grinning as this time it loudly crashed into
something, and when his hand closed on another lamp post, he ripped it up and
took it under his arm like a spear, aiming it straight ahead of himself.
The liger
emerged from the cloud of smoke like some sort of charging knight of old, the
great pole of steel protruding ahead of the bike, but still the RA
super-soldiers stood their ground without any fear, only adjusting their aim to
take him down.
Killer
swung the heavy pole of steel sideways, smacking the first line of
super-troopers and knocking those great hulks off their feet, slapping them
violently into the parked cars to his left, before he growled and swung the
deformed, mangled pole to the right, cutting a RA soldier in half just above
the waist, sending pieces of his guts splattering across the road. A second RA
super-soldier flexed his machine-enhanced muscles and foolishly squared himself
to receive the assault, gripping into the pole with fingers that had been
visibly covered in segmented steel parts and a multitude of actuators that gave
them supernatural strength. The already deformed pole crumpled like paper in
the super-soldier's grip, but Killer only rumbled in dark entertainment as he
yanked the lamp post back, ripping the soldier's feet off the ground, and then
hurled the oversized javelin against one of the APCs as it ominously adjusted
the elevation of its quick-firing cannon.
It managed
to fire out a three-round burst just as the deformed lamp post crashed into its
side, crushing the RA super-soldier against the armor and tearing right through
the vehicle, rocking it on its suspensions. The cannon was well stabilized, but
the sudden, violent shock sent the rounds firing high. Killer felt them rip
through the air a few feet above his head, and shut his eyes just as they
exploded in midair, projecting great clouds of shrapnel which hammered his
powerful back and peppered the asphalt and the buildings on either side.
Killer
hissed in irritation more than pain, kicking a portable wall out of his way and
ramming his way right into the middle of the checkpoint, running over an RA
soldier that attempted to aim an oversized rocket-launcher against him. The
heavy, honeycomb steel wheels of his military-spec bike crushed down into the
muscular body of the enhanced soldier, sending up ugly sprays of blood and
guts, but still the maimed hulk not only refused to let out any cry of pain,
but did his best to try and grip Killer's boots and ankles, trying to yank him
off his bike.
Killer
angrily stomped the groping hand down into the bloodstained asphalt, crushing
metal-reinforced fingers into wreckage before the heavy, “unbreakable"
honeycomb wheel pressed onto the head of the RA super-soldier and made it burst
apart like a pimple… before Killer grunted in surprise as a small but powerful
explosive charge went off somewhere inside
the devastated corpse beneath his bike.
It was like
he had rolled over a mine, and the explosion nearly unsaddled him, sending the
bike rearing up into the air as blood and slivers of metal and bone alike
pattered audibly against the jet-black body of the heavy vehicle. Killer
somehow managed to stay on top, grunting as he awkwardly counterbalanced,
sending the bike crashing heavily back on the ground, keeping his balance by
virtue of stomping a foot into the ground. Instinctively, he half-glared,
half-stared in disbelief at the ruins of the super soldier smeared on the
asphalt, wondering what the hell had just happened, and what the fuck those
hulks had on their clearly insane minds, and another nearby hulk thought it was
the perfect moment to strike him down, swinging out a massive, heavy
sword-mace.
The huge
liger looked up with a snarl of irritation at that, catching the heavy,
oversized weapon in one hand and stopping it before it could bash his muzzle
into pieces, and he yanked violently on the weapon, catapulting the super
soldier over his head and sending him crashing on top of several rolls of
concertina wire, in which the beast became entangled. The thin but sharp blades
cut a myriad wounds into the huge soldier's body, the his limbs becoming
ensnared into the solid steel wire, yet he fearlessly struggled on, kicking to
his feet and angrily yanking both arms forwards. Some of the thick wires
snapped like the strings of a spider's web, but others only wrapped tighter
around him, cutting deep into his neck… and even so, the mechanically-enhanced
warrior stomped forth, dragging behind him the long coils of concertina wire
and the steel “chevaux de fries" they were secured to. He let out no cry of
agony and not even a sound of rage. He just rasped his breath out and tried to
aim a large handgun against Killer as the liger swung the heavy mace and
hammered him into a broken heap of flesh and shattered bones and exoskeletal
structures.
There was,
once again, a powerful explosion that blew the head and what was left of the
upper body of the soldier into bloody shrapnel, and Killer shut his eyes as he
was showered in pulped guts. He grunted in surprise and confusion in front of
that absurd, suicidal brutality, but his attention had to go to a massive
infantry fighting vehicle which hurriedly retreated with a clanging of steel
tracks eating up the asphalt. As it moved back, the vehicle trailed its large
quick-firing cannon against Killer, while the machine gun on top of the turret
also tilted downwards to try and keep him in its sight.
The liger
charged straight against the vehicle, knowing that if he could get close enough
it wouldn't be able to target him, and the massive IFV replied by
indiscriminately firing off a barrage of grenades from the stubby launcher
tubes grouped at the base of its turret. They sailed high into the air, fired
off at different angles to draw almost a protective circle around the vehicle,
and then exploded in midair: some of the grenades were high explosive rounds
which fragmented in a vicious hailstorm of shrapnel, while others unleashed
great clouds of cold smoke that would hide the vehicle not just from the bare
eye but from thermal sights and laser rangefinders as well.
Killer
collected himself, instinctively squeezing his head between his solid shoulders
as shrapnel hammered into him from all sides, making him hiss in pain even as
the burning slivers of steel mostly bounced off his steel-hard musculature,
with the larger fragments barely managing to become lodged into his solid
flesh. The rain of incandescent metal ripped mercilessly through RA and Kendrew
soldiers alike, cutting down everyone who was within range without any
distinction of friend and foe, and the shrapnel loudly clanged against the
armour of other nearby combat vehicles, while the artificial fog obscured most
of the checkpoint, turning the already confused fight into a merciless brawl as
RA super soldiers forced their way through the portable walls behind which
Kendrew's warriors had sought refuge.
Killer
pushed through the thick artificial fog, flattening himself over the body of
his powerful motorbike as one of the IFVs fired a angry volley of machinegun
fire in his direction, the bullets clanging hellishly into the armoured side of
another as Killer speeded past. An RA super-soldier emerged from the fog and
aimed his massive rifle straight at the liger, but before he could open fire,
Killer leapt off his bike with surprising grace and slammed both of his feet
into the side of the massive infantry fighting vehicle, crumpling its armoured
hull inwards and sending the huge vehicle skidding loudly sideways, its heavy
tracks grinding the asphalt to dust.
Killer held
on to the handlebar of his bike as he swung himself forwards and kicked the RA
soldier in the face, turning his head into an explosion of red mist and pulped
brains, and as the headless body stumbled backwards, it once again exploded.
Killer grunted as the shockwave rammed into him, but failed to slow his
movements as he slammed his feet into the ground and effortlessly lifted the
huge motorbike into the air instead, slamming it into the face of another RA
warrior that charged at him with a large sword. The hulking, emotionless
warrior crashed back into the damaged IFV, sinking through the armoured flank
of the vehicle and nearly ripping inside even as his body basically disintegrated
in a splatter of gore and pieces of bone, while Killer shouldered his motorbike
in the same fluid motion.
The IFV
spun on the spot and attempted to get back so its cannon could get a clear
shot, but Killer coldly reached down to grip it just above the tracks, his
fingers crumpling the steel like it was paper as, with an idle yank skywards,
he sent the enormous vehicle flipping into the air to crash upside down on top
of another of the IFVs arrayed out to form the checkpoint.
The crash
wrecked both vehicles, creating a confused tower of mangled-together scrap
metal, and Killer moved fearlessly forwards, kicking another portable wall out
of his way with a contemptible snort and grinning as the heavy gabion full of
dirt skidded violently into a couple of RA brutes, crushing them under its
mass.
Killer
stepped past the breached barrier, emerging into a thick group of RA
super-soldiers, some of which were focused on the flank as they smashed their
way through the gabions to hunt down the Kendrew warriors desperately trying to
hold their ground against the sudden merciless ferocity of those who were
supposed to be their allies. Killer saw one RA brute force his hands between
two colossal gabions, each weighting multiple tons, and push them apart with a
loud whirr of machinery as its exoskeleton magnified his already huge physical
might.
Terrified
Kendrew soldiers on the other side of the barrier opened fire with their
rifles, and a hailstorm of bullets tore into the brute's chest and even his
face, but most of the impacts were against the heavy steel plate embedded in
his pecs, and failed to do much more than annoy the hulking thing. The brute
shoved his way through and managed to grab one of the rifles aimed at him,
crushing it into a crumpled wreck and yanking the terrified young tiger
forwards, seizing him by the head and effortlessly crushing helmet and skull
into a sick burst of crimson mist.
Other RA
brutes were quick to exploit the breach, pulling up behind their wounded but
emotionless comrade and opening up with massive machine guns that sent a
hurricane of burning steel ripping into Kendrew's side, before one of the tigers
shouted: “Hit the deck!".
Multiple
Kendrew soldiers immediately dropped out of sight, laying down on their bellies
and covering their heads as a shoulder-fired rocket shot forth with a small
cloud of gas. The rocket engine didn't really have enough distance to cover to
even ignite, but the fuze had evidently been tampered with to remove all safety
settings, because it exploded on impact with the already wounded brute,
vaporizing its upper body in a great blast of fire and molten metal which
pierced through another pair of brutes like some sort of supernatural spear,
cutting them down like butter.
Once again
there was no reaction from the surviving brutes, not even from those splattered
by droplets of molten, incandescent plasma, even as it rapidly consumed their
flesh, digging to the bone. They carried on like drones, more robots than
living beings, and now one of the massive RA tanks moved forwards as well,
ramming the weakened bulwark held by Kendrew's soldiers with the dozer blade
attached at its front.
Killer
grimaced in horror as the tank shoved backwards the whole line of gabions,
threatening to squish those terrified soldiers back against the building. The
liger sprinted forwards, carrying his motorbike on one shoulder like it was a
toy and nonchalantly gripping the rear of the MBT with his other hand, fingers
tearing through thick armour like it was made of paper. The tracks sawed into
the asphalt, turning it to fine dust as the tank desperately accelerated but
failed to move forwards another inch, and Killer grinned coldly before
single-handedly dragging the enormous vehicle backwards, even as the engine
roared and blasted out thick clouds of smoke.
The tank's
turret began to quickly rotate back towards Killer, the enormous vehicle
buzzing like an angry insect as the liger grunted and hefted the rear of the
MBT clear off the ground, tilting it to such an extent that the long barrel of
the cannon smacked into a line of charging RA brutes, knocking them sprawling
like pins, before it clanged loudly into the ground and became stuck. Killer
contemptuously let go of the tank, grinning as it fell heavily on its rear,
bouncing violently on its suspensions, and then he immediately slammed his
heavy fist through the grids of the twin radiators of the massive powerpack,
crushing through armour and steel engine like they were sculpted in butter. The
heavy vehicle's tracks ground to a halt as the engine spluttered and died, but
the turret began to turn again, running on the auxiliary power unit. Killer
caught the cannon as it swung violently towards him, and he grinned, flexing
enormous, godlike muscles as he jerked upwards and ripped the whole turret out
of the hull, before swinging it out like an oversized, monstrous warhammer.
He smashed
an RA brute into the ground like it was a fly, turning his body into a cloud of
crimson mist and a ugly, chunky stain on the ground, before slapping two more
of the hulking soldiers out of his way, sending their bodies exploding into
pieces that flew like red meteors across the street. Other brutes turned
around, emotionlessly and without fear, and opened up with their rifles, but
Killer swung the massive, crumpled and deformed turret in front of himself,
letting the bullets clang uselessly against the thickly armoured roof of it.
He grunted
as a rocket crashed into the turret and exploded, causing him to skid backwards
a few feet, boots digging into the asphalt, but he was ready to react when two
brutes charged at him from the sides, running past the edges of the turret to
get a clean shot… only for Killer to swing his motorcycle out in the face of
one, sending him down in a broken heap, and the tank turret slamming into the
other, knocking him flying like a baseball until he smashed through the façade
of a building at the other end of the street.
The RA
brutes assaulting the thin line of Kendrew defenders now all turned around to
face Killer, backed by an infantry fighting vehicle and two tanks, and the huge
liger squared himself to resist the onslaught, leaning into the tank-turret as
a veritable hurricane of bullets clanged against it. The IFV's cannon began to
bark in quick, rhythmic succession, sending heavy caliber armor-piercing fins
tearing through the turret's roof, and Killer could feel the hits becoming
closer as bullets began to rip through his “shield". The RA brutes threw
grenades over his shield and he felt them clanging down behind him, the
explosions rocking him violently and showering his broad backside in burning
shrapnel, but still he resisted, blindly swinging the tank turret out in a
vicious uppercut that smacked the front of the IFV and sent it flipping upside
down in a broken heap of scrap metal. The cannon, deformed and torn apart,
split off the semi-destroyed turret and crashed into a line of brutes, who
caught it as best they could and shoved it forwards like a sort of cruel spear,
that tore through the damaged tank turret in Killer's hand. The brutes began to
wrestle his shield out of his hand, and Killer grunted as he heard the two
tanks rolling forwards to get a clear shot at him… before he grunted in
surprise as a third tank, bearing Kendrew's colors, retreated at full speed
from inside a covered position between gabions and portable walls. It roared
down the street in reverse gear, crushing parked cars like they were nuts, and
then screeched to a halt in an advantageous spot right behind the two RA tanks,
trailing its cannon.
Killer
smirked, understanding what was about to happen, and his eyes flashed with dark
satisfaction as the Kendrew tank blasted out an armor piercing “fin" round at
point blank range against the first of the RA MBTs, piercing the rear of its
turret. Flames erupted out of the RA tank's cannon and hatches, which blew
violently open as the ammunition carried in the back of the tower caught fire
and went off in a veritable eruption of orange flames that rose skywards with a
frightening roar.
The
remaining RA MBT immediately deployed its smoke grenades to hide from the
unseen attacker, and it began to spin on the spot to return fire, but the lone
Kendrew vehicle had the advantage of position and only needed to reload its
cannon. An operation that a well trained loader could complete within seconds.
The Kendrew
tank fired again, and the cold anti-laser mist was of no use at such point
blank range: the center of the cloud of white smoke suddenly glowed orange, and
tall columns of roaring flame erupted skywards as the ammunition brew up, killing
the tank for good.
Killer
cautiously studied the movements of the lone Kendrew tank, unsure of whether he
could trust it or not: in the confused free-for-all that had erupted in the
middle of the checkpoint, there was little certainty about who was the enemy.
The massive vehicle carefully kept its weapons trained away from the liger,
however, instead unleashing a long burst of coaxial machinegun fire into the RA
brutes that were smashing their way through the damaged barriers and cutting
Kendrew's soldiers down into pieces. The cannon of the MBT fired once again,
making Killer wince as he was hit at close range by the massive wave of
pressure and felt the heat clearly on his skin, and a programmable HE shell
cracked out of the smoothbore barrel, flying into the thick of the group of RA
super-soldiers and exploding in midair, vaporizing some of the brutes and
sending several others collapsing in bloody heaps maimed by shrapnel.
The
remaining brutes coldly, emotionlessly switched target, turning around to face
the MBT, immediately taking aim at its sights with their monstrously oversized
rifles. Even hidden behind thick armoured glass, the sensors remained
relatively vulnerable, especially against bullets that big and heavy, and the
sparkles and fragments of metal burst in every direction, the glass turning
opaque and cracking as the tank rapidly retreated and semi-blindly let rip with
the coaxial while the loader inside the turret frantically worked to shove
another HE round into the breech.
The tank fired
again, and the great explosion sprayed deadly shrapnel in a vast cone straight
ahead of the vehicle, but while some brutes were torn apart, several others had
already sprinted forwards to outflank the MBT. Killer saw the commander's hatch
move ever so slightly as the tank leader attempted to take a peek outside, but
the RA super soldiers immediately concentrated vicious bursts of gunfire
against him, forcing a hasty retreat. Killer made his decision, stomping
forwards and aiming for a brute armed with a massive shoulder-launched rocket:
the liger slammed the palm of his free hand against the rear of the launcher
tube, knocking it out of the brute's grip and sending it pointing to the earth
just as the missile was ejected. It flew out propelled by compressed gas, and
smacked violently into the ground, breaking in half before its rocket motor
could even ignite, and already Killer had balled up his hand and slammed his
first through the brute's helmet, bursting his head into a sick explosion of
gore that splattered over another pair of brutes which had been giving covering
fire to their comrade.
They spun
around without fear, without evident anger, without any discernible emotion,
even as the blood of their comrade covered their faces. The closer one let go
of his rifle as Killer's hand clamped on it, crushing the barrel completely out
of shape, and he reached for a large sword instead, slashing it towards the
liger but failing to strike as the huge male slapped him with his motorbike,
sending the emotionless drone crashing in a broken heap. The second brute had
enough time to fire out a couple of rounds which smacked violently into
Killer's chest, making the liger hiss with pain as his massive pecs flexed. The
bullets crumpled without managing to tear through that indomitable mass of
muscles, and they fell away, crumpled pieces of useless metal which clanged
lightly on the ground. Anyone with a thinking brain would have been terrified
by that sight, but the brute only insisted in squeezing on the trigger even as
Killer lashed out his enormous fist, smacking him in the middle of the chest
and breaking apart the armour plate like it was made of biscuit, his knuckles
tearing right through the brute's body and out of his back, disintegrating his
spine and sending splinters of bone shooting out like shrapnel. The brute
twitched and gurgled, blood foaming out of his mouth as it hung limply from the
forearm that had torn its way through him from side to side, but even so his
eyes were devoid of any emotion. Killer studied the super-soldier with
horrified fascination as it attempted to paw at his enormous bicep and drag
himself forwards… before something clicked audibly, and the liger angrily swung
his arm out, sending the corpse flying away just before it exploded.
Other
brutes were charging their way up the solitary Kendrew tank, and it was clear
they were going to commit suicide by triggering the explosive charge that
seemed to be hidden deep within their very bodies. Killer leapt forwards and
swung his bike out to slap two of the brutes off the side of the MBT, sending
them crashing into their comrades and bowling them over like pins, just in time
for one of them to explode and turn all the group into a disgusting cloud of
crimson, chunky aerosol.
Another
brute leapt up onto the engine block at the back of the tank, and the liger
grunted as he reached up to seize him by one ankle, viciously yanking him off
the vehicle and smacking him into the ground with enough force to crack and
crater the asphalt. The emotionless creature twitched as electricity crackled
out of the shattered mechanical exoskeleton merged to its muscles and bones,
and Killer hurriedly, exasperatedly asked: “What the hell are you? Where do you
all come from?"
The drone
didn't respond, didn't show any worry, didn't even seem to have heard the
question at all, instead only struggling to get up from the deep crater he had
torn into the ground, arms reaching up to try and wrap around Killer's leg. The
liger snarled furiously, all too aware of what was about to happen, and he
angrily kicked the brute flying backwards into two others, grimacing as the
explosion obliterated all three of them.
The liger
would have gladly taken prisoners to interrogate, to torture even, in an
attempt to somehow dig some information out of them, but it proved simply
impossible: whenever they realized they were short of options, the brute
remorselessly killed themselves, turning their bodies into dangerous bombs. It
was a surreal, horrible experience, and he was forced to take down every single
RA brute, because they also refused to retreat, even when their position became
desperate.
When it
finally ended, the solitary Kendrew tank was surrounded by the unrecognizable
remains of a multitude of brutes who had blown themselves off rather than
surrender. The great vehicle idled, the damaged engine spluttering, the turret
buzzing as it nervously trailed from side to side still, but the coaxial
finally silent. The chain gun had multiple, rotating barrels so it could keep
on firing for long periods of time, but even so it now visibly smoldered, all
of the barrels glowing orange in the darkness, while spent bullet cases still
tinkled as they rolled down the sloped front of the tank and fell to the
ground, joining thousands of others.
The
terrified Kendrew soldiers who had survived the massacre slowly crept out of
the pokey space they had been able to defend, and their bulging eyes and
trembling hands starkly demonstrated the difference between them and the RA
brutes. They were not only shell-shocked by the ferocity of the fight, but
still astonished by how their supposed “allies" had remorselessly turned
against them and resorted even to suicide-bombing in an attempt to kill them
all. No quarters and no explanations given.
Killer
stood in the middle of the ruined checkpoint, shouldering his motorbike still,
painted crimson with blood from head to toe, his clothes ripped to shreds by
the multitude of shrapnel hits but his muscles undamaged, other than for a few
bruises and scratches that were already healing under the disbelieving eyes of
the survivors. The liger towered over them all like a divinity, his hulking
form easily twice as tall as the tallest among them, and his figure looked even
more imposing as the trembling light from burning, wrecked IFVs and tanks cast
changing shadows upon his bulging muscles.
Without
hesitation, Kendrew's soldiers tossed their rifles to the ground and raised
their hands up high as they climbed out from behind the semi-collapsed barrier
of gabions. “Lord Huxley! Please, mercy! We had no intention to fight you!" A
voice begged, and the other soldiers added their own laments, all saying more
or less the exact same thing.
It was at
least partially true: it had been their refusal to fire against the liger that
had precipitated the RA's furious aggression, but on the other hand they had
built up and manned that massive checkpoint cutting the peninsula in half and
blocking the only road leading to the castle. Still, Killer didn't want them
dead if it could be avoided, so he silently surveyed them, giving a slight nod
of approval and reassurance.
The only
thing the liger truly craved was an answer as to what the RA was, what was in
those insane brute's minds, and where did they all come from. And there wasn't
much time to be wasted: they could all hear explosions and gunfire coming from
seemingly every direction, every street, as other fights broke out, presumably
between RA and Kendrew patrols. Chaos had seemingly erupted all at once, and
Killer desperately needed to understand why, and what could be done about it.
“Who is in
charge of you lot…?" Killer enquired, and the soldiers hurriedly checked their
ranks. Several of the offices had fallen during the fight, and the survivors
were mostly only privates. That would have been surprising in a southern army,
but in the North, it was pretty normal: in a world dominated by the concept of
honor and personal virtue, the officers were the strongest and most valiant of
warriors in a Company, and were supposed to always lead from the front.
Unfortunately,
that meant that officers also tended to also fall first during a vicious
battle.
“I think
that honor presently falls upon me, Lord Huxley." Someone finally said, and
Killer turned to the side to look at the commander of the damaged tank.
“Lieutenant Felix Russel, your Highness. A pleasure to once more be in the
presence of Wyvern, the Savior of the North." The officer introduced himself
while sharply saluting, half-sticking out of his hatch. Solid with muscle, but
not overly bulky, the tiger was notable for his age: he was probably
approaching his fifties, Killer judged, which made him quite old to be “just" a
lieutenant. Was it because he was a poor officer, or because Griagas was still
somewhat traditionalist and looked with disdain at those who fought inside
massive metal boxes, “like cowardly southerners"…? The prejudice was still
alive and well in some quarters. Tigers had always revered physical power and
warrior ethos above everything else, after all, and many still thought that
only the weak should use things such as armoured vehicles and long range
artillery. It was an outdated vision of warfare that had nearly meant disaster
for the tiger kingdoms around a century before Killer was born, and that had
again left the Northlands vulnerable to the assault of the highly mechanized
armada of Dark just about a decade back, but still it lingered.
The fact
that it was almost invariably the “scrawny" recruits, deemed inadequate for
leading from the very front of the line and striking fear in the heart of
enemies, that were picked to crew armoured vehicles was enough for some of the
most traditionalist generals and kings to largely ignore the merits of
“tankies" when it was time to distribute honors, riches and ranks.
Killer's
father, thankfully, had been an innovator in the field and Kesteven had left
behind that kind of nonsensical visions of the world. Killer himself had
accelerated his father's reforms, and if one good thing had come out of his
time in the south it was his fascination for technology and for how it could
enhance the effectiveness of an army while reducing the number of casualties it
took to achieve battlefield objectives.
“Do I know
you, lieutenant…?" Killer calmly asked, genuinely curious. The age of the
officer pretty much ensured he had taken part in Dark's war, either with the
Western army under Killer, or the Eastern under princess Alexis Archer, of the
kingdom of Glacial. The fact that the older tiger had called Killer with his
past nickname, Wyvern, and with the title of “Savior" that had been given him
after he had beaten back Dark's invading armada, only reinforced the suspicion.
“Lord
Wyvern has no reason to remember my name, but I certainly remember your
highness's leadership at the battles of Kendrew and Wycherley." The lieutenant
answered, giving a nod of confirmation and ever so slightly puffing out his
chest to show the medals on his chest: a gold star, two silver stars and the
Dark campaign medal. “I was with the Royal Dragoon Guards, sir."
Killer's
lips crested in a little smile as he nodded in acknowledgement. He remembered
that highly praised, multi-decorated regiment of tanks very well and very
fondly. They had been one of too few and thus very precious heavy armour units
Killer had had at his disposal to contain the rapid mechanized thrusts
northwards of Dark's armada. Again and again he had hurled those invaluable
formations of tanks into battle to fix Dark's columns in place to allow the
rest of his army, chiefly moving on foot, to catch up and continue the battle.
The Dragoon Guards had been in the lead when Killer had finally broken the
siege of Kendrew and started pushing back Dark's armada, and they had again
been at the tip of the spear when Killer had unhinged Dark's flank at Wycherley,
capturing the local bridge and throwing his heavy armour on the far bank while
all of Dark's superior artillery viciously rained destruction over the area.
It had been
an extremely dangerous gamble, but it had cut Dark's armada in half, preventing
many of the worlf's divisions from retreating to the south bank and ensuring
their complete, piecemeal annihilation. Killer's cavalry and tank regiments had
ended up stranded on the far bank for close to two days, however, when Dark's
artillery and air support had inexorably managed to pulverize the bridge. Killer's
other forces, slower on the march or just too busy dealing with the encircled
divisions of Dark's army caught on the north bank, had only reached the
battlefield when the bridge had already been destroyed, and for many terrible
hours the only reinforcements that could reach the southern bank of the river
were soldiers carrying out dangerous, heroic crossings of the river upon its
iced surface… and then, when the artillery broke up the ice cap, into its
roaring, icy waters.
Killer had
nothing but respect and admiration for his tank crews who had defended the
bridgehead on the south bank for two days, always under constant bombardment
and surrounded on three sides. Not only they had resisted, but they had
actually managed to slowly but surely push Dark's flank, and rapid cavalry
columns had pushed even further ahead to hunt down Dark's artillery batteries,
anti-air missile regiments and the logistic echelon. Only on the third day,
once Dark's artillery had been weakened by those raids and by careful
counterbattery work, it had been possible to launch a major river crossing
operation, with the deployment of multiple bridges that had allowed the whole
of Killer's army to push forth. The town of Wycherley, or more accurately what
little ruins were left of it after days of ceaseless fighting and bombardments,
had eventually been captured and what was left of Dark's army had been pinned
down around the wolf's very own fortified encampment, built on top of the small
hill that dominated the area.
Killer had
fought the whole battle on the southern bank, doing his best to protect his
tank regiments and to enable the breakout, and on the fourth day he had led the
final assault on the encampment itself, and killed Dark in duel.
That had
been the end of Dark's armada as a fighting force, but it had been a damn close
thing, and the losses over four days of constant, vicious fighting had been
grievous. After Wycherley, all that was left to do was chase down the disintegrating,
routed units of the armada that dejectedly attempted to flee back into Ire.
Little to no organized resistance had ever been met after that complete
triumph, and Killer had pushed deep into Ire, almost reaching its capital,
before his father had decided that insisting would be counterproductive. To the
east, Alexis Archer had achieved her own victory against the other segment of
Dark's armada and had led an equally successful exploitation deep into Ire.
Killer
often wondered what would have been of his life, and of the world at large, had
they pushed onwards into Arkaley and really put the southern countries on their
knees. Maybe it would have led to a peace both more sincere and more stable.
Maybe it would have prevented him from rampaging like a feral monster for the
seven following years… Or maybe, in the hour of such absolute triumph, he would
have ended up behaving like an even worse tyrant. He really couldn't be sure.
The huge
liger shook his head slowly, pushing those thoughts away for the moment, and
instead offered a sincere smile to the nervous lieutenant, saying in a warm
voice: “If you were with the Dragoons, then there's no doubt you are a valiant
warrior."
It wasn't
much, but it was enough to make the older tiger relax visibly, and reveal a
queasy, hesitant smile of his own. Killer quietly pointed a hand at the carnage
surrounding him; at the terrified young soldiers, at the blood covering almost
everything and everyone, at the gorey, pulped remains of suicidal RA brutes and
at the burning, destroyed tanks from earlier, and he did his best to keep his
voice calm even as he impatiently asked: “Can you explain me what the hell is
going on…?"
The officer
carefully climbed out of his hatch and crouched on top of the tank's turret,
swallowing thickly at the realization that, from that position, he still had to
look slightly upwards to meet the giant's eyes. Felix allowed himself to slide
down the scarred flank of the turret, and he stood on top of the track, so his
relatively diminutive figure wasn't entirely eclipsed by Killer's towering
bulk. The lieutenant wasn't a small man, nor did he lack muscle under his black
coverall, but like all “tankies" he had been a runt in comparison to the other
recruits back in his days. The biggest, strongest warriors almost invariably
sought out infantry roles, or even a place in the Special Forces, while the
smaller guys were handy for crewing armoured vehicles, where space was always a
finite resource. Felix had actually been overjoyed by the chance to work with
the tanks, which were still a relatively new thing for the Northerners at the
time. He was a firm believer in tanks and a theorist of mechanized warfare, and
had spent every day of his long career trying to make other Northerners see the
merits of the tanks.
The battles
of Kendrew and Wycherley had been pivotal moments in that struggle: the
performance that courageous “tankies" put up with their smelly, noisy giants of
steel had convinced almost everyone that the future would inexorably have lots
of tanks in it. Felix Russel was proud of the role he had played and he
remained an enthusiastic tank crewman… even though his legs were currently
trembling visibly as the adrenaline levels settled down and the emotions of the
fight still raged within his system. It had been terrifying to have his tank
swarmed by suicidal bombers, and it had been even worse to see Killer throw the
larger and heavier RA tanks around like toys, ripping through their armor like
it was paper. Felix had feared that Killer's fist would turn him into jelly by
smashing right through the turret of his tank, and being in the shadow of that
colossus was a deeply unnerving experience, even when Killer smiled so
indulgently.
Felix had
very clear memories of young Killer fearlessly standing his ground ahead of the tanks at the battle of
Wycherley, ripping through enemy tanks and armored vehicles like a scythe
through corn. Killer had been in his early twenties then, and already he appeared
to be a living God roaming the earth. Now, a decade on, Killer had, incredibly,
grown even taller and greater and stronger, making his past self look small. It wasn't easy to accept that
someone could possess that much power.
“I wish I
could give you a good answer, Lord Wyvern, but I'm afraid I cannot." Felix
cautiously said, shaking his head slowly and making a bit of a grimace. “As you
have no doubt noticed, your Highness, the RA personnel are not talkative and do
not socialize at all. All I can say is that working alongside them is… scary.
And unnerving. Unreal, really. None of them cares about… anything. None of them
ever talks about home, family, about any real interest or activity outside of
frontline service."
“Yet you
all allowed the RA to take root into Kendrew. You have allowed this Griagas guy
to just take a piece of my father's lands and declare himself king of the
place." Killer coldly remarked, and Felix bowed his head apologetically, in
sincere shame as he nervously admitted: “I cannot deny that. We… we should have
opposed Griagas's ambitions far more firmly. We are all guilty of allowing him
to buy us off with a mix of gold, privileges and fear."
“What were
you afraid of…? Was Griagas supported by RA troops right from the start?"
Killer enquired, crossing his enormous arms and angrily clenching his fists. He
was furious at the thought that a piece of the kingdom, a piece of his father's
army, had decided to just go their own way, betraying the Huxley bloodline and
turning their back to everything the royal family had done.
“Yes, your
highness. RA troops backed Griagas and literally drove trucks full of gold
ingots into Killer's battery. It was… an offer that just could not be refused. You
saw the size and strength of the RA super-soldiers: they are not something most
of us can deal with." Felix said, speaking in a dejected, apologetic tone and
sneaking little nervous gazes up towards Killer's dark face, afraid that the
hulking prince might in any moment reach out and slap him out of existence like
an annoying bug. The officer hesitated, unsure of whether any excuse could
possibly improve his tenuous position, but finally he found the courage to
babble: “T-technically, Griagas proposed himself as a challenger, as a claimant
of the throne. According to Tradition, it was not our task to stop him. T-the
King should have done it personally… but Seth never came."
“That's a
convenient way to twist the Laws in your favor, isn't it…?" Killer grumbled,
making a grimace of disgust. “A challenger has the right to meet the king in
duel and the army must never prevent a
challenger from getting to the king. But Griagas never tried to get anywhere
within five hundred miles of my Father's position. He just carved out his happy
enclave and proclaimed himself king of it without any duel taking place. And
with the backing of a foreign army! It's a very different thing, lieutenant. A
very disloyal and unacceptable behavior that Tradition will always condemn: if
we allowed everyone to suddenly declare a new kingdom, the Northlands would end
up fractured in a million meaningless little kingdoms, weak and vulnerable."
“T-that's
true, your Highness. It was an unforgivable mistake on our parts." Felix said,
hastening to agree with the hulking male's observation. The officer kept his
head humbly bowed forwards, exposing his neck as if waiting for a blade to
swing down and decapitate him… but much as the vindictive side of Killer
demanded blood to be spilled for that unprecedented betrayal, the liger knew
that killing a valuable veteran officer of the armoured force would do no good
to anyone.
“And you
don't even know what this RA thing is, or where it comes from!" Killer angrily
insisted, eyes burning with fury as he looked down at the other soldiers, who
visibly trembled with fear in his shadow, standing at attention and silently
praying for the blessing of mercy. “A challenger is one thing: a foreign army
moving in is another entirely. You were supposed to stand and fight against the
foreigners that moved in. What if the RA was the vanguard of a new armada like
Dark's…? You have surrendered the gates of the North to an unknown force,
without putting up a fight! It's the lowest moment in the history of the North.
An act of cowardice and stupidity which put our entire civilization in danger."
Killer's eyes blazed with terrible rage as he delivered his scathing remarks,
and Felix visibly shrunk smaller under the weight of those accusations, which
he now realized were entirely accurate.
“It's bad
enough that young warriors so readily sold themselves for some gold and sugar,
but that you and other veterans of the wars of Dark also
allowed yourselves to be bought on the cheap, giving up Kendrew to an unknown,
foreign force… It's disgusting." Killer hissed, gritting his fangs in furious
distaste. “This is not even about my Father, my bloodline, my reign: this is
about your own pride, your own dignity! It is about the countless friends you
have lost ten years ago fighting Dark's horde back. All those comrades buried
here… only to give up the whole region without a fight to the first ambitious
asshole who worked up enough guts to declare himself a king."
Felix was
unable to reply to those words. He visibly twitched and slumped, crushed under
the weight of those accusations, and all he could do was nod in agreement, and
in shame. “It's… it's all true. We… we chose the easy option, and pretended not
to see the risks… and the consequences."
Killer
snorted contemptuously at that, and angrily tore his eyes away from the
groveling officer and his younger, scared soldiers. Part of him just wanted
them all dead for their crime and their stupidity. Part of him insisted that,
if they had allowed themselves to be bought once, they were not going to be of
any use.
He stared
at the ugly residential towers, full of modern day slaves. Kendrew's population
had too readily adapted to that miserable new life under Griagas. From the
soldiers to the last civilian, they had all behaved as cowards. Had they…?
The hulking
liger huffed in frustration, closing his eyes for a moment. He always had to
remember himself that being courageous was much easier for him, from the
towering height of his superior body, from the privileged position that his
supernatural strength granted him.
He could
charge into a hailstorm of RA bullets and punch tanks into scrap metal, but
people like Felix could not. The civilians asleep in those dark, ugly towers
hadn't any real hope against the RA brutes. Yes, they could rebel, but where
would that lead them…? Without external help, their rebellion would have led to
nothing.
Killer's
Battery and the island fortress could have locked up and resisted the RA,
probably, but the gigantic factories he had seen gave a pretty good idea of
just how rich and powerful the mysterious organization was. An armada of
super-soldiers, backed by technologically superior combat vehicles and superior
firepower at all levels.
Could he
really blame Felix and the others for taking the easy way…?
Besides,
king Seth had failed to make moves of his own against Griagas, and that did not
do him any favor. Of course, the RA troops that had been allowed to move into
Kendrew unopposed would have clearly made a stand against the king, preventing
any duel from taking place. As soon as the RA had been allowed to settle in,
Kendrew had been well and truly lost. Seth would have needed to launch a fully
fledged military operation to recapture the fortress and get to Griagas to seal
the matter with a traditional duel… and if the RA was truly spreading its
influence all along the kingdom's borders, Seth was probably busy fighting
other usurpers elsewhere.
Felix and
the other soldiers of Kendrew could claim that, since the king had failed to
react, they didn't feel compelled to make a stand of their own. It was cheap,
and disloyal, and very dangerous if such an idea was allowed to take root, but
all the same it was an objection that Killer couldn't quite dismiss.
“Had Seth
come to punish Griagas, would you have opposed his coming…?" Killer finally asked
in a low, half-hearted grumble. Of course Felix and all the others were going
to say no, now. Too easy, really. Asking them wasn't a reliable test of whether
there was any loyalty and valor in them. But he needed to give himself some
kind of reason not to kill them. Even a weak, empty one would suffice, for the
moment.
“Of course
not, your highness!" Felix loudly proclaimed, emphatically insisting: “We hoped that the king would come. We would have welcomed his intervention… and…
and… We welcome your arrival, Lord Wyvern. We didn't want to fight you, and we
did not! We… we tried to stop the RA from interfering!"
“True, I
suppose... But not all soldiers I've met on the way here have been so welcoming
and collaborative as you make it sound." Killer idly rebutted, frowning
accusingly down at the trembling soldiers standing at attention before him.
“R-rotten
apples, your highness. It… it is to be expected. Some of the younger soldiers
haven't really known the pre-Griagas army at all. T-they… well. They kind of
like the pay and privileges that have been accorded to them, and t-they… are…
well. Probably afraid of… change." Felix offered, nervously gripping into his
black coverall, wringing his hands and looking fearfully up at the giant male.
Killer
moodily huffed, but had to accept the reality: the past could not be changed,
and the garrison of Kendrew had allowed itself to be bought, silenced, and used
as pawn in the setting up of a tyrannical military government that threatened
to expand its influence further northwards. He could either take the lead and
offer those soldiers a chance of redemption, or he could slaughter them all for
their crimes. Seeking explanations and excuses was never going to change a
thing.
Killer
closed his eyes for a moment, and he moodily sentenced: “You are lucky you are
a veteran of Wycherley. I have too much respect for everyone who fought with me
that day to kill you… but gods know I should just level just whole town and
piss on top of the ruins. I can't believe
you have all bowed your heads like so many meek sheep in front of this
RA-thing walking in and installing a puppet king."
Felix
swallowed thickly at that, shrinking even smaller and bowing his head even
further forwards, and the whole line of young soldiers standing in front of
Killer was shaken by a collective, cold shiver of terror. Even those who hadn't
witnessed Killer's past exploits directly had already seen enough to know that all
the stories were true and that the colossus could probably just shove the
biggest building in town over like it was a house of cards, single-handedly and
without so much as flexing his huge arm. They all shrunk smaller before his
calm but terrible rage, and dropped on their knees, groveling before him and
bowing their heads in shame and apology. Their discarded rifles were on the
ground, not far from their hands, but none of them thought about picking them
up to try and shot the giant Alpha. They had been given ample proof that they
could only ever tickle him, at best, considering that even the far larger, more
powerful weapons used by the RA brutes had failed to tear through his thick
musculature. Running away was also no option at all, because with his huge
strides the titan was also incredibly fast and would catch up with them with no
effort at all.
Even the
youngest of Kendrew's soldiers were beginning to realize exactly why the
nickname “Wyvern" was uttered with such reverence and fear and envy and awe.
They began to realize why the tales about the young prince's exploits on and
off the battlefield had started to be regarded as myth and legend: his strength
was godlike, and it was hard to believe to the stories without witnessing that
kind of power from up close.
The mind
revolted at the notion that someone so impossibly powerful could exist. Their
pride refused to accept that they could be so insignificant in front of another
warrior… and so they had all sought to downplay, to downgrade the stories to
mere works of fantasy and exaggeration and propaganda. It had been a comforting
escape from a reality they now could no longer deny.
Killer
snorted contemptuously and easily put down his massive, bloodstained motorbike,
and the soldiers all shivered as they felt the ground vibrate under them with
the weight of that thing settling down. They spied through half-lidded eyes as
the giant straightened again, huge muscles bulging with power, and they waited
impatiently, helplessly, to hear what fate he would decide for them all.
Killer
listened for a moment to the barking of rifles and the growling of machine guns
in the distance, as battle raged on in the other streets, and he decided that
more than enough people was going to die that night without him adding to the
list. He put up a wry little smile on his muzzle as he looked down at Felix and
commented: “You are pretty good at fighting the corner of lost causes,
lieutenant. I hope you can prove as good at fighting on an actual battlefield,
because I am only going to forgive this garrison for its shameful crimes if it
now proves its valor."
Felix
blinked in a mix of surprise and relief at that, but then his face began to
beam up with relief, and Killer thought he saw a sparkle in those eyes, one of
true determination. “We are yours to command, Lord Wyvern. We will help you
however we can."
“Pick up
your weapons, you're gonna need them." Killer said to the younger warriors
standing before him, and they quickly picked up the rifles they had discarded
earlier, murmuring words of thanks and praise to the colossus, for his mercy
and for his power. The liger turned his attention back on the lieutenant, and
he jerked his head towards the damaged tank's turret, asking calmly: “What kind
of radios do you have in there…? Can you relay orders to the rest of the
garrison, and give me a report of what is going on across the town…? Because I
suspect the fragile alliance between Kendrew and the RA has well and truly
broken."
“I'm afraid
you are right." Felix agreed, climbing back up to his hatch and reassuring:
“This is a Command tank, so I have the full range of radio and data links. I
can reach all other patrols and units on the net."
Felix
slipped down the hatch and took position into his seat, easily punching a few
commands into one of the touch screens arrayed in front of him and bringing up
a map with, in overlay, the last reported positions of other Kendrew units
across the capital. Killer took a peek through the open hatch, leaning against
the tank, and he immediately noticed that there were no RA callsigns visualized
on the map, which confirmed his worst assumptions.
“The RA has
logged out of the network. We can no longer see them…!" Felix muttered,
noticing the same thing and uselessly refreshing the visualization on the
screen, vainly trying to fix what he already knew was not a glitch. He was
unsurprised, naturally, but still it hurt to see, because it was a clear signal
that the uneasy alliance was truly over. The confirmation was in the multitude
of flashing “TIC – Troop In Contact" reports on the map, showing how pretty
much every patrol in town was engaged in combat and how the main garrison blocks
appeared to be under siege.
They could hear
it clearly, coming from every direction at once: the battle raged on in every
street. Killer's arrival had acted as a detonator and caused the explosion of
the powder keg that the town, and probably the entire kingdom, had turned into.
Killer
looked at the map, quickly scanning the position of the nearest patrols in
contact, and he realized that the layout of Kendrew did give them some hope:
all the streets branched out from the central, vast boulevard, so the patrols
could just retreat down the various roads and converge in the centre.
“Call the
patrols, and tell them to fall back on this position." The liger urgently
commanded, pointing his finger at the screen, and Felix nodded as he reached
for the radios, switching on the various frequencies and sub-networks. They
were immediately half-deafened by static, by the noise of a dozen firefights
coming through, and the shouts of shocked officers reporting that the RA troops
had gone berserk. Calls for help came from multiple callsigns, and Felix
clutched his headset for a moment, eyes bulging in horror as he listened to the
cries and the howls of agony of the casualties in the background. The
lieutenant nonetheless began to tap on his screen to send a retreat order by
tracing the routes directly on the map, and he began to transmit the same command
via voice network before suddenly hissing and clutching the microphone in one
gloved hand, turning to look at Killer with horror in his eyes as he warned:
“We cannot use the radios to send orders, the RA was hooked into our network.
They can listen for sure! They even know our cipher!"
“I know,
but there's nothing we can do about it, for now. If we don't concentrate our
forces, the RA will defeat every patrol in detail." Killer countered, shaking
his head emphatically. Felix looked horrified at the thought that the enemy
would be able to listen to their every word, but he nodded after a moment of
hesitation, knowing that there was no alternative. He turned on the radio, and
spoke clearly, trying to keep his voice controlled and measured. There was
already too much confusion and screaming on the network.
“DRAGON 1-A
to all DRAGONs: fall back on the main road and pick up all patrols and
stragglers along the way. Concentrate on my position. Repeat, concentrate on my
position!"
Felix and
Killer both nervously looked at the screen and at the radios, waiting nervously
to see if and how the other patrols would acknowledge and react… and,
thankfully, other DRAGON callsigns, aka other tanks of the regiment out on the
streets with the various patrols and checkpoints, finally began to click to
confirm.
“DRAGONs,
status report." Felix added after a moment, impatient to know how his comrades
were doing, and he made a grimace as several of the tanks failed to send clicks
in response.
“DRAGON 5-A
is burning. 6-A bailed out, they are clinging on to my tank." Callsign 4-A
reported, and there other reports followed: of the 14 tanks of A Squadron, 6
had already been destroyed or had had to be abandoned because of battle damage.
Many of the crew members had not been able to bail out, because their tanks had
been struck at point blank range and the damage had been catastrophic.
Felix and
Killer knew all too well what that meant: in most cases, a horrible death in an
inferno of fire as fuel and ammunition brewed up. If the blow-out panels failed
to lessen the violent eruptions of fire from the burning ammunition, the
turrets turned into literal crematoriums, with temperatures so vicious that
they could consume a man in seconds. Still too long a time, considering the
agony it meant.
“What is
your kinglet doing?" Killer asked, snorting in contempt at the thought of
Griagas refusing to properly receive him, and Felix made a grimace of his own,
blushing in shame at the fact that they had allowed that ambitious officer to
proclaim himself the sovereign in the first place. The officer hurriedly
searched for confirmation on his tactical screen, and in the meanwhile mumbled:
“He is not our king. He is not
behaving like one."
“It was
pretty predictable…" Killer couldn't help but remark, even though it probably
wasn't entirely true. Griagas would have probably accepted, and won, challenges
coming from most warriors. That he did not want to end up in an arena, in a one
versus one with the hulking liger was understandable: nobody in their sane
minds could possibly be happy at the idea of standing on Killer's path.
“Yes, it
was." Felix nonetheless admitted, blushing slightly as he sneaked a sideway
gaze at the hulking titan that had to lean on the top of the tank's turret to
peek into the commander's hatch, such was his height. The mighty battle tank
was bent to one side due to Killer's weight idly resting on top of it, and the
suspensions of the enormous vehicles creaked and groaned miserably, while Killer's
fingers left behind dents and grooves in the thick armour, like the steel was
warm, melting butter. The liger didn't even notice it. It wasn't wanted, it
just happened due to the liger's impossible strength. It was amazing to
witness, and it made it easy to feel some understanding and pity for Griagas.
Felix could hardly begin to imagine the terror that had to come from being
hunted down by such a titan.
“Griagas is
not on the network and has issued no orders or instructions in the last hour."
Felix finally said, shaking his head slowly. “He should not have left the
castle: for all I know the Royal Guard regiments are still in the fortress and
he can't just run away in front of them. He must be hiding somewhere in the
royal palace."
“Can the
Guards help in tackling the RA…?" Killer calmly asked, turning to look moodily
at the fortified island in the distance. Traditionally, the Regiments of the
Guard were elite formations containing some of the best warriors, outfitted
with the most modern equipment and often enhanced by the assignment of extra
artillery. The castle had missile launchers and heavy guns derived from navy
systems usually found on warships, so it could have provided them with
invaluable fire support… but the RA knew it just as well, and Killer was
willing to bet they had taken their countermeasures. The bastions of the
island-fortress were illuminated by the muzzle-flashes of a multitude of firing
rifles and machineguns, and several of the gun towers had already been blown
up: columns of dark smoke climbed skywards from several of the great bulwarks.
The RA was clearly making a push to penetrate inside the castle, but the Guards
appeared to be resisting.
“No, your
highness. The castle is cut off from all communications: the RA has captured
the ravelins, lifted up the drawbridges and activated powerful jammers to
disturb all communications. The Guards can't hear us, and we can't hear them.
Their last message was a warning that both the south and north entrances to the
Island are blockaded by RA troops." The lieutenant explained, and Killer made a
grimace, making it clear how much that had been expected.
He saw
helicopters taking off from the island, however, and Felix looked up as well,
half-worried and half-hopeful. Killer stiffened in place, gritting his fangs at
the thought that Griagas might be attempting to make a run for It, and he
watched coldly on as rockets and shoulder-fired missiles flew up from the top
of the ravelin. One of the helicopters performed a desperate evasive spin,
deploying chaff and flares that burned brightly in the night, but while one
missile was spoofed into following the false targets until it passed through
them and crashed into a tower, a second one locked on the heat plume of the
engines.
The gunship
was broken in two by the explosion, the tail rotor spinning wildly and then
crashing into the lake while the burning front of the machine went down like a
stone as the main rotor was almost disintegrated by the explosion. Another
gunship unleashed a salvo of rockets of its own on the top of the ravelin,
turning the small tower in an inferno of flames, smoke and shrapnel that
hammered the surface of the lake, raising a multitude of fountains of spray.
Even so,
the RA brutes occupying the ravelin didn't cease firing, and tracer rounds drew
red and green streaks in the night, targeting the helicopter and hitting it
multiple times even as it returned fire with its chin-mounted cannon. It was a
short but savage battle, and the gunship crashed down into the fortress's
courtyard only moments later, but that in that brief timeframe, another few
small helicopters, much more lightly armed but nimble and meant for
reconnaissance, managed to sneak out. They flew just high enough to clear the
bastions and walls of the castle, then dropped down almost low enough to touch
the lake's surface with their skids, and made full speed ahead for the shore.
They had all lights turned off, so Killer heard them, more than saw them. He
counted four of them when they were briefly revealed by the light of the fires,
the tracers or the explosions, and at least two more crashed into the lake as
heavy RA gunfire now raged forth from the shore, as well as from the ruined,
burning ravelin.
Was Griagas
on board of one of those helicopters…? He could well have been. Killer looked
nervously up as the small helicopters spread out upon reaching the shore and
literally dived in the urban tunnels formed by tall buildings on either side.
RA flak fire angrily pursued them, but the pilots were incredibly daring in
their maneuver and kept swinging past the corners of the tallest buildings,
constantly releasing streaks of chaff and brightly-burning flares in their
wake.
One of the
small helicopters rushed straight towards them, and Killer and Felix both
looked up at that dark figure that flew less than 50 feet from the ground,
throwing up a great cloud of dust and debris. It was so low that its flares did
most of their burning after hitting the ground, while the chaff, nothing more
that strips and strings of metal cut in various lengths and shapes to trick
different radar frequencies, danced in the air like carnival streamers and
confetti.
Two couples
of soldiers sat on small benches, one on either side of the small helicopter,
secured by elastic ropes, and they fired their heavy rifles and even
shoulder-fired rockets against RA troops further down the boulevard.
“Oh, crap.
I don't want them to think we are of the RA too." Felix muttered, eyes widening
as he stared at the fast approaching helicopter, and he turned back to make
sure his command pennant and a Kendrew flag were still flying from the whip
aerials of his tank. They were tattered and half-burned, but they were there,
and he hoped the Guards on the helo would see them. The soldiers gathered
around the tank prudentially took position behind its solid mass of steel.
Felix
reached for the radio, switched channel to the ones he would normally use to
speak to friendly aircraft providing air support, and urgently called out:
“Here DRAGON 1-A to unidentified STALKERs flying over the peninsula: check your
targets! Friendly troops on the ground."
“Affirmative,
DRAGON 1-A. STALKER 6 can see you." Came the reassuring reply, and Felix let
out a sigh of relief.
“STALKER 6;
are you bringing Griagas out?"
The pilot
at the other end burst angrily out: “Fuck him! We don't even know where the
fucker is. Must have gotten into the bunker. We are out to observe fall of shot
and establish communications: the RA is jamming the castle's radios to shit."
Killer and
Felix watched as the nimble helicopter flew right above their heads, low enough
that Killer was legitly worried it would smack into his head, and followed it
with their eyes as it spun around in midair, and cautiously climbed higher so
it could get a better view of the surroundings. One of the soldiers leaning out
of the side visibly swapped his rifle for a binocular-like laser rangefinder,
and looked out over RA troops concentrations at the tip of the peninsula.
Killer
smirked slightly, knowing what was going on, and almost on cue, the surviving
heavy cannons of the fortress in the center of the lake opened fire, thundering
in the night, and their shells began to strike RA troops concentrations along
the shore and in the area of the docks. Great clouds of smoke hid the bastions
from view as multiple missiles climbed skywards out of their vertical cells,
buried in the middle of the thick towers. Streaks of smoke arched high up into
the night sky before the missiles came diving back down with a vengeance,
rattling Kendrew with enormous explosions. It was a bit of a waste to employ
missiles that could fly hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers to hit out
not far beyond the shore of the lake, but in an emergency they had to take
advantage of everything they had.
“Bless you,
STALKER 6. We are going to have a lot of targets for the castle's cannons."
Felix replied, with sincere relief. “Stand by for grid references."
“Roger. It
seems to be utter carnage out here. Do we even know who is in charge?" STALKER
6 replied, and Felix was about to reply before instead closing his mouth and
looking meekly up at Killer.
“I think
you should address the troops yourself, Lord Wyvern." Felix quietly but
resolutely urged, offering the radio set to Killer. “In this moment we
desperately need to know who is in charge, especially because our supposed king
is silent."
Killer was
tempted to roll his eyes at that, but did his best not to, instead replying:
“Introduce me, then. It's better if they hear the news from a voice they know,
first."
“Right."
Felix agreed, before clicking twice on the network to ask for a moment of
silence and attention. He sat a little straighter into his seat, and his
expression became more focused, full of new determination as he addressed the rest
of his regiment and the other friendly units in town. It was in that moment
that Killer understood that Felix, despite the shock of that nightmarish,
confusing night, was an excellent leader and a good officer, who knew what he
was doing and which, he hoped, would command the attention and respect of his
subordinates.
“Help is on
the way. Hold your positions and don't lose heart, because prince Killer Huxley
is here with me. He has come to bring Kesteven once more under the guidance of
the Huxley bloodline. He has come to become our king. You've all heard the
stories from the wars of Dark: now Wyvern is here to lead us to victory one
more time."
Killer made
a little bit of a grimace, thinking bitterly that, in truth, Wyvern was not
quite on the scene. He was present, but the huge, formidable, crimson-bladed
sword that bore that name and that had been the source of his nickname was not.
Wyvern was in Seth's castle, up in Kesteven, protected and revered like a sort
of relic. That enormous sword was almost sacred in Kesteven and beyond. It was
known far and wide and was the subject of a million tales, only the most recent
of which had Killer in them. The sword had been passed down a multitude of
generations of Huxley kings, and Killer had carried it into battle only for the
duration of the war of Dark, and in a few other memorable occasions.
The hulking
male pursed his lips and looked moodily up at the dark night sky, wondering
bitterly if he was ever going to pick up that wondrous weapon again. After all
he had done, his father was most certainly not eager to let him carry Wyvern
again… and that awareness was surprisingly painful. Killer missed that
fantastic super-weapon, a sword like no other, a weapon which, coupled with his
supernatural strength, could strike with indescribable force and disintegrate
pretty much any kind of target.
When Felix
offered him the radio, however, Killer shook himself out of those thoughts and
picked it up. He had not planned out any speech, and he had admittedly not
expected things to get quite so bad, and so fast, so for a moment he hesitated,
but then clicked and spoke to troops that he already considered his. For the
first time since the wars of Dark, he was in charge of an army of northerner
warriors, and he had to admit it felt good. He had missed that privilege and
the emotion that came from it, and even the tremendous pressure and anxiety
that came from being responsible of the lives of so many. “Soldiers of Kendrew,
I am Killer Huxley, prince of Kesteven, and I've come here tonight to challenge
your commander and, like our Traditions command, demonstrate that I'm fit to be
your king.
I have
however found a cowardly kinglet that is hiding deep underground while his
capital is shaken by the explosions. While the “ally" that he hushed into the
kingdom to secure his power reveals itself for the force of invasion and
tyranny that it is, firing into your backs without warning."
Killer
paused for a brief instant, licking his lips slowly as he searched the right
words. The troops needed to be reassured, first of all, but he couldn't just
ignore the fact that Kendrew should never have allowed the RA into its
territory and fortresses in the first place. He was going to sting them for it.
And it was going to hurt, but if they were true northerners, and warriors
worthy of their reputation, that attack on their pride would be the most
effective of encouragements. And so he did not hold back from telling every
Kendrew soldier the painful, humiliating truth:
“This is a
battle that should have been fought years ago, when the RA first came, before
it was established, before its roots had ventured deep into the very fabric of
the kingdom. Nor their gold nor their threats should have kept you all from
standing your ground against them. But that would have been easy, and a warrior
of the north doesn't get any satisfaction from an easy fight: we will eradicate
the RA now that it is strong! Just as gold stained your honor years ago, blood
will wash it clean tonight!
Stand tall,
warriors of Kendrew, and fight with me once more. I will lead you to victory
and to redemption for the mistake of the past. And before the sun dawns, I will
crush the cowardly, corrupt parody of a king that led you all astray, and
Kendrew will be my capital, and you will be my army."
Killer
released the radio's button. There was no point in saying more, and trying to
sugar the pill would just be counterproductive. The soldiers knew that a long
night of fighting was ahead of them all, and that many would not be there to
see the dawn. And they could all tell that clearing the RA out of the whole of
Kendrew was going to take long and bitter fighting in the coming days as well.
But Griagas
had abandoned them. Their town, turned into a sleepy, moody hive for slave
laborers, now was burning and shaking because of the explosions. The RA had
stabbed them in the back.
They were
prepared to fight back for as long as it would take.
“Long live
king Killer, of the Huxley bloodline, Wyvern and Savior of the North!" Someone
loudly proclaimed on the radio, and a multitude of other callsigns returned the
cheer, cluttering the network for a moment. All of the callsigns? There was no
way to tell, but certainly a lot of them.
“STALKER 6,
stick close to my column." Killer commanded, his deep, big-balled, booming
voice overcoming even the shouting and cheering on the radio and immediately
commanding silence and attention.
“Yes, your
highness. STALKER 6, providing overwatch."
The
helicopter bobbed its nose slightly for a moment, as if the pilot wanted to visually
confirm that they were ready to do their part, and Killer gave a thumb up in
their direction before announcing on the radio: “I'm going to storm the Island
and drag Griagas out of wherever he is hiding. RA, if you are listening, you
know where to find me."
The hulking
liger grinned coldly, taunting that monstrous, emotionless, mysterious enemy in
the hope that it would detach as many of its troops against him as possible.
Killer was not afraid, not even of their tanks and super-brutes: he was going
to tear his way through their ranks, no matter how hard they tried to resist. He
was more concerned for the fate of Kendrew's soldiers, who were badly
overmatched in firepower, if not in overall numbers. Kendrew's troops were also
scattered in many small patrols and checkpoints, while entire regiments and
thousands of recruits were holding out in their barracks, some of which were at
the opposite sides of town. And he had little to no means to influence the
fight on the north shore of the lake, too. That was a major concern in his
mind.
Yet, they
could not afford to take a purely defensive stance. Every isolated unit had to
put up a fight to try and reconnect with other formations. “My column is going
to move up the peninsula. Fall back on my position, we need to concentrate our
forces." Killer commanded, and when an officer reported back on the radio to
say he could support the king's assault on the Island, the liger immediately
countered: “I don't need help. Leave the Island to me; focus your efforts on breaking
through to the nearest friendly unit and concentrate."
There was a
moment of silence on the network, probably borne out of sheer amazement at the
king's claim that he could assault the island fortress on his own even though
the RA controlled the drawbridges and ravelins, but then all units confirmed
they had received his command.
Killer
looked up, past the island, towards the mountains to the north-west, on the
opposite end of the lake. The immense mass of the fortress that carried his
name had gone mostly dark, the lights that usually illuminated the bastions and
the succession of artillery “terraces" snaking up the steep side of the
mountain had either been turned off or blown to bits. Tracer could be seen
flying between the bastions, however, and explosions could be seen around both
the castle-barracks at the bottom of the mountain and around the fort at the
very summit. RA troops had clearly been present into Killer's Battery as well:
the fortress was heavily armed with silos full of missiles and with multiple
batteries of heavy artillery and was the true key to the possession of the
whole valley. As formidable as the island-fortress in the middle of the lake
was, it was still a vulnerable trap if Killer's Battery opened fire with its
colossal cannons.
“If we lose
control of the battery, the RA will blow this entire city to dust." Killer
coldly muttered, and Felix could only agree in silence, instinctively looking
up at the distant bastions himself. “Can you communicate with them…?"
“Too much
jamming, your majesty." The lieutenant sadly replied, shaking his head slowly
even as he insisted in switching radio channels and refreshing the tactical
picture on his screen. “The RA cut them off, I can't talk to any of the
fortress's teams."
Killer was
unsurprised. The RA was clearly aware of the fortress's key importance and was
going to make every effort to conquer it or, if that proved impossible, to
isolate it and reduce its ability to offer fire support to the Kendrew forces
down in the valley. The gigantic cannons of the various batteries were still
silent, thankfully, but he didn't know the situation up there on the mountain
and the thought that they might in any moment hear the rumble of death of the
high calibers opening fire was a constant torment.
“What do we
know about the RA disposition…? Were there many of their troops up in the
Battery?" The liger urgently asked, and Felix picked up a red pencil and a map,
beginning to draw symbols on it to show Killer everything he knew and
remembered.
“Not many
inside the Battery, thankfully." Felix reassured, but at the same time he drew
the conventional symbol for “mechanized battalion" on the plateu next to the
summit castle. “Not even Griagas was stupid enough to allow a large RA garrison
into the castle, but the RA parked a
battalion-worth of their latest machines up on top of the mountain, as close as
they could get to the fortress."
“What kind
of machines?" Killer urgently asked. A battalion could mean anything between
400 and a 1000. A lot of troops, but Killer's Battery was a formidable fortress
built to resist assaults on a far greater scale, at least in theory. Especially
because it was virtually impossible to manoeuvre tanks and other heavy combat
vehicles up there on the rocky, knife-like edge of the mountain. There was no
real plateu; the only stretch of flat terrain had been blocked by the castle
itself, specifically to ensure that no major assaulting force could bypass
Kendrew by going over the mountains. What had the RA managed to haul up on that
windy, icy ridge…?
“Powered
armors. They also call them Walkers: a super-sized evolution of their
exoskeletons, with a cockpit for a single operator. They are like light tanks
on two legs. The RA insisted to have a base camp up on the mountain exactly to
demonstrate that their new creature can bring tank-like armour and firepower
even over the most hostile terrain features."
That was
the very last thing that Killer would have wanted to hear. Were those accursed
machines strong enough to break through the castle's bastions and walls…? He
couldn't afford the risk of losing control of the big guns, but he didn't have
many options. His forces were scattered around town and almost invariably
already locked in combat, and couldn't readily manoeuvre in any meaningful way.
The only “reserve" he had was stranded on the island, in the middle of the
lake, with the RA holding the drawbridges, both the south and the north ones.
Killer bit
his lower lip, then extended his hand to ask for the radio set again, and ordered:
“STALKERs, I need you to get in touch with the Guards. If they have transport
helicopters on the island, I need them to fly up to Killer's Battery to help
the defenders there. If possible, they need to locate the RA jammers and
destroy them. We can't let the RA anywhere near the cannons."
“Here
STALKER 4. On it, your Majesty."
Killer
looked up to see one of the small helicopters make a daring run towards the
island, taking a wide route away from the ravelins to avoid, as much as
possible, the vicious fire coming from the RA troops still stubbornly holding
the position.
His eyes
then moved back down to the map, scanning the various symbols that Felix kept
scribbling down on the map. There were RA troops pretty much everywhere
elements of Kendrew's military were home-based, a clear signal that the
organization had always wanted to establish control of every activity.
Fortunately,
that meant that the RA troops were as disaggregated and dispersed as his, and
that granted Killer some degree of freedom in picking his priorities. Many of
the smaller security detachments were going to be left alone to deal with their
RA counterparts, and he was fully aware that losses were going to be grievous
for those small units, but he just couldn't afford to throw penny packets of
troops at every grid sector.
His
attention was focused on the factories, the railway terminals, the major
barracks and the airport. Kendrew had a large, modern airport with multiple
runways, split evenly between a civilian terminal and, on the eastern side, a
military airbase. There were troop transport helicopters and a couple squadron
of fighters based there, but the RA had a sizeable concentration of troops in
place and, crucially, had deployed a battery of anti-aircraft guns and a
battery of long range missiles in the area. No Kendrew aircraft was going to
take off or land from there so long as those batteries remained operational.
The
situation was very similar in most other towns and bases across the whole
kingdom, for all Felix knew, and the RA had posted garrisons into several of
the border fortresses as well, which meant there was a bitter campaign ahead
that would need to be fought to flush the invader out.
Killer
looked up, as did the soldiers crowded around the tank, as heavy vehicles
roared down the boulevard, drawing closer, and he was relieved to spot the APCs
he had left behind earlier, grouped in a staggered formation to cover each
other as they raced towards their position. Soldiers in Kendrew uniforms poked
their heads out of the hatches, desperately making hand signals to communicate
that they were not hostiles, and all three vehicles had unfurled regimental pennants
and small Kendrew flags from the whip aerials, in the hope of avoiding a very
possible blue-on-blue mistake.
The
soldiers in the APCs looked meekly up at Killer, awkwardly offering apologies
and gestures of support, and the hulking giant looked at them flatly, but de
facto silently accepted their excuses, with much relief on their part.
Soldiers on
foot also began to rush in from the side streets, followed by the tanks and
infantry fighting vehicles covering their retreat and regularly firing couples
of smoke grenades to fill the streets with thick curtains of white, artificial,
cold fog.
In the
meanwhile, B, C and D Squadrons also reported in on the network: they were
unable to retreat but were defending their position: a whole new barrack,
recently built for them and for multiple other tank regiments that still didn't
really exist. The barrack was crammed full of recruits at various stages of
their formation process, and the parking lots and garages clogged with tanks
which still had the smell of new about them. The barracks was close to the
docks, so it virtually had its back to the lake, which at least aided their
defence somewhat, especially as the Guards' artillery on the island was able to
supply supporting fire just with visual observation. Elsewhere, the STALKERs
continued to fly back and forth along the shore, spotting RA concentrations and
supplying coordinates to the fortress's guns to engage.
Under that
deluge of heavy artillery and missiles, Kendrew's troops were recovering from
the initial shock and converging into larger and larger groups.
Killer
turned towards the soldiers grouped near Felix's tank, and pointed to a couple
of sharpshooters and a sniper armed with a massive anti-material rifle. They
snapped at attention and walked closer to him, and the liger wasted no time in
briefing them: “I'm going to need information about what is going on, and where
the RA troops are. I need eyes on top of that building." Killer urgently said,
pointing his finger at one of the tallest towers in town. “Can you get up there
and establish an OP? Your mission is covert observation: engage only if you cannot
avoid it."
“Sir, yes
sir!" The sniper said, his face mostly hidden behind a mask and a reinforced
visor protecting his eyes. “Permission to bring a Fire Support Team up with us,
and a close protection group?"
“If you
know where to get a Fire Support Team, and get it now, by all means bring it up
on that tower." Killer answered without hesitation. Fire Support Teams were
liaison units of 6 to 8 men equipped with laser designators, long range
sensors, sometimes man-packable radar sets and other equipment to direct
everything from mortar fire to air attacks. If there was one available and it
could establish communications with friendly artillery units, that was a
blessing. Unfortunately, Killer had little to no idea of what troops he had
available, or their disposition. More than ever before in his life, he was
going to have to trust his subordinates in the field. “Your callsign will be
SHARPEYE. I want you to update the tactical picture with everything you spot,
and send reports about anything that moves. I need to know what the RA is up
to."
The sniper
nodded, snapped at attention and then quickly moved off, followed by his second
and by the other sharpshooter. He walked up to one of the APCs, quickly briefed
an officer waiting on the lowered rear ramp of the huge vehicle, and within
moments assembled a large group which included elements of a Fire Support Team
carrying a bulky laser designation kit, plus all the radios they could pack.
In the
meanwhile, more tanks, APCs and IFVs emerged from the side streets. All groups
were shaken and depleted by the losses suffered in the first, savage moments of
battle and in the subsequent effort to break contact with the RA troops, but
summed together they were beginning to form a workable battlegroup.
Killer
gathered the officers around Felix's tank and briefed them in person, trying to
limit, at least for the moment, the use of the radio. Their first objective was
going to be the barracks of the Dragoon Guards regiment: they were going to
break through the RA siege and get the other tank squadrons out. All recruits
who had received at least enough training to know how to operate tanks, even in
basic fashion, were going to pick an MBT from those parked. They were going to
need all the firepower they could get.
Unfortunately,
the tanks in the parking lot had only a partial fuel load and no ammunition on
board yet: before beefing up Killer's forces they were going to have to pull
back at least up to the proving ground to the south-east of town. There they
would find sizeable reserves of fuel and ammo to exploit, since the range was
used to put all newly produced tanks to the test to verify the performances of
all systems.
From there,
a makeshift battlegroup, hopefully comprising a healthy number of tanks, was
going to move towards the airport, in order to lift the siege and destroy the
RA surface to air artillery. Hopefully some helicopters and jets were still
intact and could then be launched to support operations elsewhere in town.
“…
ultimately, our aim must be to secure the RA factories at the edge of town, and
the depots. We need to capture those plants and all those brand new vehicles
intact, because we are going to need them to kick the RA out of the rest of the
kingdom." Killer said, leaning on the large paper map of Kendrew that Felix had
helpfully produced from inside his tank, unfolding it on the steep armour
plates at the front of the huge vehicle.
He looked
up at Felix and the other officers, and they nodded with grave faces, taking
mental note of their roles in the fight ahead. Killer's plan, made on the fly
and with very limited information available, relayed heavily on the tank
squadrons of the Dragoon Guards: each Sqn, even though depleted by losses
already, would become the core of a separate battlegroup, beefed up with
whatever reinforcement they met along the way. Each BG would push down a
different street and try to encircle the huge new industrial district that had
grown at the edge of town. Felix's A Sqn, with Killer in attendance at least
for the first phase of the battle, was going to lead the way and push onwards
well past the factories themselves, to capture the railway terminals and the
tracks themselves, to prevent the RA from moving precious equipment out, or
reinforcements in.
For most,
if not all of the time, the Battlegroups were going to have little to no
ability to mutually support themselves, because every street was like a canyon
walled off by buildings on either side. There was little to no chance to keep
line of sight contact, other than through small teams of soldiers with
shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles which were going to climb up the tallest
buildings along the way.
Everything
about the plan was inevitably vague and subject to last second changes. Killer
had never had to direct a battle having such a fragmented, vague idea not only
of the enemy's forces, but even of his own. It was an unnerving situation, but
at least he was reassured by the looks on the faces of his officers: anger was
the dominant sentiment. They had been stabbed in the back by the RA and they
all wanted vengeance. They wanted Griagas gone, too… and everyone who had seen
Killer in person and had a chance to witness his spectacular height and the
hulking immensity of his musculature, felt that victory was assured. What could
possibly stand up to that godlike titan, after all…?
As if to
shake that newfound optimism, however, the roar of fighter bombers flying at
max speed and low altitude up the valley filled their ears. They all
instinctively looked up, even though they knew that, if they were hearing the
noise, the supersonic jets had actually already moved past.
Explosions
thundered in the distance, and they turned around to look across the lake,
seeing great balls of fire and smoke erupting skywards from several of the
island fortress' bastions: the jets clearly belonged to the RA and had come to
silence the cannons of the castle. Tracer rounds climbed skywards from the
fortress, along with missiles leaving behind great streaks of white smoke, and
three large balls of dirty orange fire signaled the end of as many RA bombers.
To the
north-west, more jets attempted an attack run against Killer's Battery as well,
but the castle's defences, even half-blinded by jamming and electronic warfare,
managed to track the incoming enemies and, in a huge white cloud that
temporarily hid the great bastion from sight, a salvo of missiles climbed
skywards to meet them. A fighter-bomber ended up crashing on the steep flank of
the mountain, becoming a flaming wound across the forest, while several other
aircraft were caught in midair and disintegrated. The flashes of light briefly
illuminated two different ground of helicopters approaching the fortress,
flying just above the tip of the trees: one small group of helicopters, flying
straight up along the length of the artillery terraces, was carrying
reinforcements up, coming from the island. The other, far larger formation,
coming in from the south, was clearly an RA air assault. Missiles rained down
against the RA helicopters, and all sorts of guns opened up from the top of the
bastions, sending multiple troop transports and gunships crashing, but in
return rockets and missiles and gunfire smashed into the walls of the castle.
It was an
all too clear signal that they were out of time, and needed to act quickly.
Within
minutes, “Battlegroup FELIX" was on the move, rolling up the main boulevard
towards the lake's shore. Killer was in the lead, driving his motorbike and
acting as vanguard. Felix and his depleted A Squadron of tanks, almost halved
from 14 to 9 tanks, followed, with the APCs bringing up the rear.
STALKER 6
flew just above their heads, calling in artillery support every time they came
across RA elements. It quickly became evident, however, that the RA had
essentially pulled back from the boulevard and was making no real attempt to
keep Killer from driving towards the lake. Clearly, they had other priorities,
and they became evident as soon as the sniper group from earlier managed to
climb to the very top of the tallest residential tower. From there they had a
good view of most of the suburbs, and a partial view of the centre of town.
Some streets were in full view, others were hidden behind other tall buildings,
limiting their ability to direct artillery fire.
“WYVERN,
here SHARPEYE 1." Came a voice, and Killer reached up one hand to adjust the
headset of the radio he had been given by Felix. Like everything else tipically
was, the headset was way too small to fit Killer's head properly, so he could
basically listen only from one ear while the set hung somewhat precariously.
SHARPEYE 1 was the sniper group he had sent up on the skyscraper, which had
finally formed the Observation Post (OP) on top of the building. Killer
acknowledged, and the sniper on the other side reported: “RA troops are hard at
work at the railway heads, loading tanks and equipment on semi-trailers. I can
see four trains being loaded right now, and lots of activity in the factories.
They don't seem to think they can hold the town, sir: they are trying to carry
their stuff away."
Killer bit
his lower lip, leaning on the handlebars of his motorbike and looking angrily
towards the dark ravelin that stuck out of the cold waters of the lake, with
the drawbridges at either end lifted up. The island-fortress laid further back,
mostly darkened as all lights had either been turned off or shot to bits.
Tracer rounds flew constantly between the bastions and the ravelins, and some
firefights seemed to be raging on even in the courtyards and park of the
castle, but the RA troops appeared to be mostly confined to the ravelins. The
Royal Guards couldn't get out of the island, but the RA seemed unable, or
perhaps unwilling, to get in.
The castle
was his ultimate target, and he was impatient to just shot up the long road
that stretched like a pointed finger through the lake, but instead he swerved
to the right, running down the shore and past the docks, towards the barracks
of the Dragoons under siege.
Scenes of
utter carnage greeted him there, as a multitude of boats burned at their
moorings and others laid in smoldering pieces across the street, which was
littered with blown-apart APCs, burning tanks and the horrible, gorey remains
of RA brutes and Kendrew soldiers alike. The motorbike bounced and rattled
violently as he drove into and past deep craters dug by the castle's heavy
artillery, and at the same time tried to come up with some brilliant plan to
turn that infernal night around.
He didn't
have many options to choose from. He had expected the RA would try to get away,
and what he was most worried off was the prospect of the RA troops simply blowing
the factories into bits before leaving. Ugly and gloomy as those enormous
plants were, Killer knew he was going to need them to have a prayer at rapidly
equipping his new army for the long fight ahead.
“Any sign
of demolition works?" Killer urgently asked, and the sniper on the other side
was silent for a few moments, somewhat taken aback by the question. The soldier
had, focusing on the short term only, assumed it was good news that the RA was
packing rather than digging in for a long slog. It showed they didn't think
they could hold the town, didn't it…?
But now he
could see exactly what the king was thinking of. “No detonations as of yet, but
lots of movements, including trucks carrying explosives. They are probably
planting charges on the key structures and machinery."
“Call the
fortress and have a couple of missiles fired into the railway tracks." Killer
ordered. “Put some craters into them. I
don't want those trains slipping away."
The Fire
Support Team acted quickly. They lased the tracks in the distance, ran a few
quick calculations and then issued a call for fire. They had to repeat the
message several times due to the RA jamming that continued to heavily disturb
communications with the Guards on the island, even with the STALKER helicopters
re-broadcasting the signals, but finally, a couple of missiles emerged from one
of the bastions, climbing into the sky and leaving behind great streaks of
smoke and fire. The boosters disconnected, and the missiles became pretty much
invisible in the darkness as, reached the intended altitude, they unfolded
their stub wings and continued their trajectory thanks to their small turbofan
engines.
It was a
short hop, and they soon came diving down from the night sky. They struck with
precision and exploded in the middle of the railway tracks, disintegrating a
couple hundred meters of rails and hurling pieces of metal and concrete all
around. The missiles had flown for just
a handful of kilometers, so they also still carried the near totality of their
fuel, which ended up sprayed over a wide area in a deluge of fire that
illuminated the downtown area with a sinister, trembling light.
Killer
smirked for a fleeting instant when he heard the distant, massive explosions,
feeling the buildings around him shaking, and almost at the same time received
the sniper's report of two direct hits. It was a short lived satisfaction,
however: there were other routes out of town that, while more convoluted, were
still viable, and not all of them could be observed from the OP. He was under
no illusion: the RA was going to move swiftly and decisively to keep the door
open and continue to carry away its treasures. It clearly cared more about its
freshly-produced tanks than it cared about its silent, emotionless soldiers.
Killer
cursed under his breath as he saw the remains of another checkpoint up ahead:
great walls of gabions filled with dirt and topped by concertina wire, with
elevated towers and a narrow serpentine of jerseys of reinforced concrete to
channel the traffic were it could be checked, vehicle by vehicle. Two Kendrew
tanks were burning nearby, surrounded by the maimed bodies of numerous soldiers
and by the sinister splatters of gore left behind by suicidal RA brutes that
had blown themselves up. Casualties moaned and cried pathetically from where
they lay, callously left for dead on the spots where they had fallen, and
Killer carefully maneuvered his enormous bike to avoid those crying, broken
figures.
“STALKER 6,
if you can get in touch with the castle, tell them to send more helicopters and
all the medical teams they have. Without CASEVAC, a lot of people is going to
die tonight." The hulking liger quietly said into the radio, making a grimace
of horror at the sight of the devastation in many of the bodies brokenly strewn
on the ground: the RA's oversized weapons were almost anti-armour cannons, more
than assault rifles, and the damage they inflicted on normal-sized soldiers was
terrifying. Missing limbs, heads pulped, torsos missing as much as half of
their original shape.
RA brutes
manning the towers opened fire against Killer with heavy machineguns, but the
hulking colossus fearlessly drove into the storm of bullets, swerving from side
to side and then, when the great barriers were near, neatly jackknifing off his
steed, once more idly shouldering the heavy vehicle like it was the most
natural thing in the world. The road rattled under his feet as he stomped his
way forwards, his weight punching deep footprints in the asphalt as he dropped
one shoulder and rammed into the double wall of gabions with impossible force.
Those colossal bags of dirt could absorb anti-tank shells with ease and resist
the direct impact of trucks turned into bombs, yet they were blown apart like
toys as Killer tore through the double barrier, not even slowing down as he
swung his arm out and sent enormous gabions flying like pebbles, grinning as
they smashed through RA troops and armoured vehicles on the other side,
knocking APCs over and turning brutes into nothing more than clouds of crimson
mist and metallic wreckage. The whole checkpoint barrier bent out of shape, the
middle section of the wall turning into nothing but a gigantic cloud of dirt
and debris that rushed down the street like a sandstorm, pelting RA brutes and
parked vehicles with a vicious rain of gravel and stones.
An RA tank
clanged forwards as if to plug the gap in the barrier, but Killer laughed and
plowed straight into it, tearing through the armour like it was wet paper and
cutting the enormous vehicle in two ruined, unrecognizable halves that
collapsed pathetically out on either side, while the gigantic male
single-handedly ripped the entire engine and transmission block out of the back
of the tank. Even the emotionless RA brutes in front of him began to scatter,
understanding what was about to happen, but Killer threw those multiple tons of
solid steel with such terrifying force that several of the RA soldiers were
caught and nearly vaporized on the spot were they stood. The powerpack flew
with the speed and violence of a meteor, ripping through the ranks of RA
soldiers that were surrounding a civilian, multi-storey building that had
probably been a shopping mall before the fire of multiple tanks had turned its
façade into a smoldering hill of ruins.
The fight
at the checkpoint had been quick, sudden, and brutal. Kendrew's soldiers had
been mercilessly mown down by the RA brutes that had been serving at their
sides up to that point, but the survivors had put up a strenuous resistance and
the trail of corpses and destroyed vehicles and blood led into the mall.
Kendrew soldiers had retreated into the huge structure and now were resisting
the savage assaults of unthinking brutes intent on killing them to the very
last one.
The meteor
of steel that was the massive powerpack flew for literal miles down the road
that ran all around the lake's shore, tearing through armoured vehicles and
flesh with the same ease, before it smacked into the ground, digging a deep
crater in it, and bounced upwards in pieces that exploded in every direction.
Together with the flying gabions and debris and dust, that sudden wave of
carnage sent the RA troops into temporary disarray as the brutes scattered and
sought cover while they tried to understand what was happening.
Killer
rammed his shoulder into a second tank, bending it ludicrously out of shape and
knocking it skywards like a plastic toy, sending it spinning twice in the air
before it came crashing upside down, squishing a couple of brutes that didn't
get out of the way quickly enough.
Other RA
soldiers, after a moment of confusion, saw him in the thick of the cloud of
debris and immediately opened up with their oversized rifles, taking cover
between parked cars that sat upon holed, empty tires, their bodyworks riddled
by bullets and shrapnel. One of the brutes fired a stubby, large grenade the
size of a large beer can against the liger, but Killer grinned and caught the
relatively slow-moving object in midair, spun it and hurled it against a pair
of brutes taking aim at him with a rocket launcher. They disappeared in the
explosion, and a shower of sticky, incandescently burning white phosphorous
rained down upon an APC further behind, which prudentially pulled back further,
vainly firing its remotely-operated machine gun.
The parked
cars and pick ups crumpled like paper toys as Killer plowed right into them,
his heavy feet crushing bonnets and flattening cabins as engines burst apart
and tires exploded under his weight, and the RA brutes hiding between the
vehicles were crushed between the burning metallic hulks. Killer laughed darkly
as he almost idly swung his arm outwards and effortlessly slapped a large truck
out of his way, watching with a grin as the deformed, crumpled vehicle flew
halfway across the lake before crashing down in the cold waters, and he already
had moved on, raking a couple of brutes and sending them to the ground before
his feet came down upon them, crushing them into ugly stains in the floor, like
they were nothing but gnats.
Another
super-soldier came rushing in through the narrow space between two parked cars,
and Killer slammed his foot into one, sending it crashing into the other so
violently that the brute was squished in the middle, his legs pulped. It
trembled without letting out a real lament, eyes full of nothing but hate even
as he began to collapse bonelessly forwards, and Killer caught him by the
throat, ripping his torso off his maimed lower half like he was a detachable
toy and immediately hurling him into another group of brutes, just in time to
blow them all up as the usual suicidal explosive charge went off.
Killer
laughed in dark delight as his immense musculature flexed and he almost
teasingly reached out with his arm, ripping through the side of one tank like
it was made of butter and yanking the broken remains of a crew member out,
sending them flying like gruesome crimson streamers across the street. Parked
cars and trucks shattered under his feet and against his hulking form as he
just plowed right through a line of vehicles, and RA “super-soldiers" burst
apart like balloons filled with blood as ran straight into them. He slammed
into a tank and hefted it skywards with a grunt, sending it flying like a
miniature, and smirked as lamp posts, semaphores and other puny obstacles
disintegrated at his passage.
The
burning, flattened, deformed wreckages of cars and other vehicles flew ahead of
him as he rammed into them, and the RA soldiers vainly attempted to scatter
away from that almost solid wave of destruction. Burning hulks flew across the
street and splashed into the lake, knocking super-soldiers into the cold waters
and bringing them to the bottom, and before the troops could react, Killer
flexed and leaned forwards with a cruel smirk, stomping one foot down with such
tremendous force that the ground cracked and the remaining RA tanks and APCs
were knocked flying up into the air, missing their shot as even the massive
MBTs were smashed backwards and sent crashing ruinously back down a great
distance away, their suspensions breaking apart with the violence of the
landings.
The
super-soldiers, even enhanced with their advanced exoskeletons, were knocked
out of Killer's way with even greater violence and sent crashing like bullets
through the walls of buildings far down the street, several of them turning
into nothing but splatters of gore as they tore through reinforced concrete.
Killer
stormed his way up the semi-destroyed staircase leading into the mall, running
into RA soldiers that, too busy firing against the Kendrew survivors defending
the first floor, failed to turn around quickly enough. Killer grinned cruelly
as his heavy, steel-reinforced boots raked brutes flying ahead of him, knocked
them over, sent them sprawling like pins as bones and exoskeleton sections
snapped and broke with loud, satisfying cracks. A brute crashed on the steps on
his face as he was hit in the back, and before he could even try to push
himself back up, Killer's foot crashed down over his back and shattered his
spine like a biscuit, at the same time crunching the back of his skull in. The
liger swung his motorbike out like it was a massive warhammer of sorts,
smashing brutes out of his way before he seized another by the head,
effortlessly hefting him up and then tossing him skywards, smirking as he flew
high past the roofs of the nearby buildings and vanished in the distance. Killer
stomped on another RA trooper, crunching him underfoot as his spine was bent
far beyond what was healthy, breaking man and exoskeleton alike, before the liger's
enormous fist smashed down through a whole fireteam of four: the first two
soldiers disintegrated into crimson mist, the third in line was nearly ripped
in half as the huge hand tore right through his chest, and the last one was
punched flying across the mall, crashing through a large column and breaking
apart in a sick rain of chunky gore. Within instants, an entire assault platoon
was wiped out as Killer ran through the formation, spreading his arms wide and
simply running over his enemies: he was like a freight train that squished
everything on its path into nothing but sprays of gore.
As he
reached the vanguard of the assault, Killer paused for a brief instant as a
weird, massive machine turned around to face him: it moved on thick mechanical
legs and stump triangular “feet" of heavy steel, and had a chunky, heavily
armoured body-cabin that contained a single driver, which could see the outside
world through cameras and through vision blocks arranged on 360 degrees in the
“neck" of the somewhat humanoid-shaped machine. The “head" of the hulking,
heavily armoured exoskeleton was a repurposed panoramic sight of the king found
commonly atop tanks, while the shoulders of the machine were topped by a couple
of anti-tank missile tubes; a multi-shot grenade launcher fed with a long belt
of stubby, can-sized ammunition, and a large machine gun. Its “arms" were busy
holding up a massive ballistic shield which expanded out to the sides to
protect infantry working alongside it.
It was a
sort of walking tank, somewhat crude in design yet very effective. This too
reminded Killer of the south, of Ire, of what the army of that corrupt country
had desperately tried to engineer to have something that could take him down.
That could take the whole North down.
The RA had
a bit too many things in common with the fuckers that had used a bomb to blow
up his friends, his lovers, his “groupies", and with them the chance of
building a bridge across ancient mistrust and hate. The main difference was
that the RA was making quicker and better progress, and was, at least as far as
he could tell, something with roots in the North: its soldiers and its
machinery were sized around the hulking figure and massive strength of tigers,
rather than puny southern “preys", so it was far more dangerous.
But that
didn't mean Ire was not involved, did it…? Now that corruption had spread into
the North, who could tell how far Ire's influence could go, and where its ugly
tentacles could already have delved into…?
The large
machine quickly turned around to face the liger, its steel feet crumbling the
marble of the mall's staircase as dozens of electric and hydraulic motors
whirred and buzzed to power those bulky limbs clad in thick plates of armour.
The machinegun on the powered armour's shoulder immediately barked, beginning
to vomit lead against Killer, but its caliber was nowhere near large enough to
do more than annoy the colossus. The grenade launcher began to spit out its
large rounds next, but Killer had already gotten so close that the large
grenades couldn't fly a distance long enough for the fuze to activate, and
those heavy “cans" only bounced violently into Killer's chest, hammering into
it in an endless succession of punches… that had the liger grinning darkly,
because their force was pathetic.
The driver
enclosed in the machine's thick torso-cockpit had two choices: try to retreat
to a distance that would allow the grenades to arm and explode, or seek a
melee. It first attempted to move back a few steps, but immediately the Kendrew
soldiers barricaded at the top of the ruined escalators punished it by firing
into its now exposed rear. Killer, in any case, had no trouble following the
“walker" into the main hall of the shopping centre, and so the machine reversed
course of action and sprinted forwards instead, trying to bowl Killer over with
its enormous, heavy shield.
The liger
snorted in contemptuous amusement and met the charge with a single hand,
smacking his palm into the shield and grinning as it crumpled like tin beneath
his fingers, while the heavy machine's feet clanged and ground uselessly into
the floor, crumbling tiles as they stomped and skidded and moved uselessly, all
internal motors and actuators going into overdrive to push back against Killer's
overwhelming strength… until the liger balled his hand into a fist and punched
right through the ballistic shield, blowing a huge hole in the center of it and
then swinging his arm hard upwards, ripping the shield in halves like it was a
piece of paper.
Killer
smirked cruelly as he ripped the two halves of the shield off the powered
armor's “arms", hurling those enormous, thick pieces of steel away with such
terrifying strength that the first piece mowed down a group of brutes and the
second ended up cutting a tank almost in half, becoming lodged deep through its
turret like a sort of oversized, grotesque tombstone.
Killer
punched the heavily armoured front of the cockpit, tearing through the thick
steel and then gripping into it before he peeled the armour open with the ease
of opening a tuna can. The RA driver inside, however, didn't show panic,
instead fumbling with the multiple cables that were connected directly to his
flesh to try and throw himself out of his seat and against the liger.
Before he
could possibly make himself explode, however, Killer had already grabbed him by
the head and torn him out of the cockpit, throwing him down onto the floor.
With utter contempt, the hulking liger immediately settled one heavy foot down
on top of the maggot, and crushed him flat into the ground,
The Kendrew
soldiers hidden inside the mall watched on in awe as the hulking giant wiped
the RA force out of the way with that terrifying ease, and for a few moments
there was only silence as they gaped in shock. They found their voices again
when Felix's tank roared in through the breach in the checkpoint barriers,
followed by the other MBTs of his Squadron, and then by the APCs and the
infantry dismounted, lined up behind the armoured vehicles for cover.
The survivors
began to rush out of the damaged, burning mall, and as they walked past Killer
they bowed deeply, almost groveling in a mix of fear and disbelief as they
quickly moved past the colossus, eyes wide as they took in the full majesty of
his over 30-feet of muscles and power.
Felix and
his men were no less astonished as they drove onwards along the shore. The
tanks trailed their turrets from side to side, unleashing bursts of coaxial
machinegun fire into the RA brutes who attempted to get back up to their feet,
but the scene was one of utter carnage, for hundreds of meters. The road was
crimson with blood and covered in chunky remains of the RA super-soldiers,
while overturned, broken, immobilized tanks were scattered like toys hurled
around by over excited children. Felix's tank fired out a couple of shells,
striking RA MBTs which looked like they could still put up a fight, but that
was pretty much the extent of the resistance they met. Everything else was
death and ruin.
Felix
swallowed thickly, staring in disbelief at his screen, at the images of the
destruction outside as his driver carefully maneuvered around the pathetic
hulks of broken RA tanks laying atop tracks that had disintegrated and
roadwheels that had broken right off, the hulls nearly sunk through the
asphalt. That had been a large mechanized force until literal seconds before,
and now it was nothing but garbage scattered along the shore.
Felix had
never felt so vulnerable before, not even earlier at the checkpoint when his RA
allies had suddenly turned hostile and he had found himself assaulted on all
sides at point blank range.
Even though
the RA had heavier, more advanced weapons, he had felt he could put up a fight
and that he had a chance to come out of it alive… but now, staring at that
regiment of tanks, IFVs and “brutes" annihilated with little more than a run
and a stomp, he felt powerless and insignificant. The thick walls of the tank
around him suddenly felt like the tin walls of a can, and he felt like nothing
but meat, ready to be devoured by that hulking… god… who had laughed while
he annihilated his enemies.
Felix
turned to the side, hunching a bit in his seat so he could look across the
compartment, over the mass of the cannon, and he met the eyes of his loader and
of his gunner. The former was leaning back against the closed armoured hatches
of the ammunition compartment, eyes bulging in shock as he peeked out of his
few, fixed vision blocks in the roof of the tower. The gunner was still in his
seat, and crankily, slowly turned around to meet Felix's shock with his own,
giving a queasy smile.
“W-was he
always l-like this…?" The loader finally managed to stammer out. He was by far
the youngest on board the tank and had no direct memories of what general
Wyvern had done on the battlefield during the wars of Dark. Felix, who had been
there, produced a little, weird sound that meant everything and nothing at the
same time.
Wyvern had
been incredibly powerful back in Dark's days. He had charged Dark's tanks and
smashed and destroyed and thrown them around like toys already back then… but
somehow, his astounding power had increased exponentially during the last ten
years. “He was… a one-man armoured division, back then. But he's gotten…
stronger. A lot stronger."
“He's like
a god…!" The gunner disbelievingly breathed out, and Felix swallowed and
nodded. For lack of a better word, he was. That kind of superior force could
hardly be described in another way. “He… he just… knocked them out of existence…
a stomp… just like that…"
“Yeah…"
Felix replied, swallowing thickly and trying to ignore the way his hands
trembled around the cloche that allowed him to control the tank's tower and the
independent sight turret. They were all shaken out of their stupor as the tank
suddenly wobbled on its suspensions, and they all looked up through their
vision blocks, expecting to see fountains of dirt rising all around as a heavy
artillery bombardment crashed down around them, but instead they saw Killer
walking past their tank, his huge strides easily bringing him back at the front
of the formation. He was carrying his huge motorbike on one shoulder still, and
the earth trembled in time with his steps, the massive vibration reverberating
up through the suspensions and making their tanks wobble, and they could only
stare as the giant Alpha idly reached out with his free hand and simply shoved
a tank to the side, out of his way. The steel tracks ground the asphalt to dust
and sparkles flew up from that unnatural grinding, but Killer didn't even seem to
take notice. 120 tons of combat weight, without even considering the sheer
attrition of pushing it sideways. Might as well have been a blade of grass.
And
Killer's hand left a deep print in
the side of the turret.
Felix was
suddenly incredibly glad that he wasn't in Griagas place and that he had never
entertained ambitions of royalty. He couldn't imagine how anyone could even
think about getting into a fight against that beast.
It was
scary to have him as ally. What was it even like to have him as enemy…?
Killer led
the battlegroup towards the Dragoon Guards' barracks, and along the way there
they picked up other groups of stragglers and survivors, large and small.
Civilians started to peek out of their apartments, hanging flags out of their
windows or decorating them with whatever cloth they had available which had the
red color of Kesteven's uniforms, or something close to it. Whole families
walked out on the streets to cheer on Killer as savior, liberator and king,
even though bullets were still flying and the night continued to resound with
the thundering of artillery and the cracking of gunfire. The civilians were
eager to see change and to watch the RA being kicked out of Kendrew, and they
made it clear by lining the streets in celebration. Some of the civilians even
picked up arms and joined the actual soldiers in the column, swelling the
battlegroup even further.
For
everyone, Killer was already the rightful and only king. The whole town seemed
to come alive, shaking off the torpor and humiliations of years of slavery and
de facto foreign occupation, and the soldiers, in turn, felt their pride
returning as, instead of contributing to the repression of their own people,
finally they fought for Kendrew's redemption.
The
swelling of the battlegroup became so noticeable that the RA troops surrounding
the Dragoon Guards's barracks began to detach more and more tanks and soldiers
to form up a defensive line on the shore, but STALKER 6, hovering at a safe
distance over the lake's waters, saw their movements and reported them back to
the heavy artillery on the island. Guns thundered in the distance, the flashes
sinisterly illuminating the night to the north, and within seconds shells began
raining down with great precision onto the forming RA front. The naval guns of
the fortress, in particular, struck with devastating power: hurling projectiles
that weighted more than a ton each, they caused absolute mayhem along the
shore. Killer saw RA tanks disintegrated in the immense explosions, while
others were literally blown off their tracks and sent crashing upside down or
on their flanks. Gigantic shrapnel tore through the lighter armoured APCs like
they were made of paper, and even with their exoskeletons the “brutes" could
not survive the tremendous overpressure of the blasts. The seawall crumbled
under the bombardment, falling into the lake along with much of the road and
the walls of gabions and razor wire. The extremity of the RA front closer to
the shore was quickly turned into a nightmarish collection of smoldering
wreckage and chunks of gore, but exactly because of how powerful they were,
those larger calibers soon had to go silent again: every shell that had landed
on the shore had sent enormous chunks of shrapnel ripping through the facades
of the buildings facing the shore, tearing down walls like veils of paper and
turning apartments into burning hells, before a couple of buildings all but
collapsed, turning into nothing but mountains of rubble. There was no way to
pound the rest of the RA front without massacring the civilians hiding into the
dark, silent buildings all around, but the devastation opened a gap that
“battlegroup Felix" could exploit.
Before the
enormous cloud of smoke and dust and debris could dissolve, Killer was upon
what was left of the RA hastily assembled defensive line. The hulking male
stomped fearlessly into the thick cloud, crushing metal wreckage flat under his
boots and ignoring the crackling of glass and other debris as he easily climbed
up the tall slope of a pile of ruins. RA brutes well equipped with thermal
sights began to take precise shots at him, but Killer only snorted
contemptuously and pushed onwards, flexing his huge muscles with a smirk as the
large caliber bullets smacked into him but failed to tear through, failed to
even stagger him. The RA brutes, unthinking and fearless as always, stupidly
stood their ground until Killer was upon them, and the liger almost
absent-mindedly slapped them out of his way with a lazy swing of his huge arm.
Felix,
following some distance back in his tank, gulped as he suddenly saw three
bodies, and pieces of at least a
couple others, suddenly explode out of the smoke, flying like rockets into the
lake and smacking into the waters with such violence that they bounced several
times, breaking apart in the process.
As the dust
began to settle, Felix and the others saw Killer single-handedly lift a RA tank
and use it as a bulldozer blade, or a broom:
the hulking Alpha smacked the tank down onto its side and grabbed the bottom of
it, pushing it in front of him and bulldozing every obstacle out of the way.
Killer
smashed a breach into the tall piles of ruins, pushing an enormous amount of
rubble out of his way and sending it rolling over the RA troops in his way. Several
brutes were buried alive under the landslide, and Killer grinned coldly as he
swerved to the side to slam into a large infantry fighting vehicle, sweeping it
away like it was made of plastic.
The crew
inside didn't even try to get out through the main hatches, but Killer saw the
emergency trapdoor in the bottom of the tank budge and suddenly open. From
inside, someone fired into him with a submachine gun, but the bullets crumpled
pathetically against his abs, not even strong enough to tickle him. The liger
looked down with a sort of morbid fascination as one of the RA crewmembers then
poked his head out of the small hole and all but threw himself against Killer's
massive frame, undoubtedly to blow himself up. He didn't manage to, however,
because the liger yanked the tank back against himself and leaned forwards to
slam his invulnerable abs into it. The RA soldier was caught between cold steel
and harder-than-steel muscle and essentially burst apart in a wet, sick squelch
of gore, his insides spilling wetly out and splattering onto the ground. The
other crewmembers still inside were knocked violently backwards into the
fighting compartment of the tank, and somehow their own explosive charges went
on regardless: Killer heard, and felt through the metal, the violent explosions
inside.
RA tanks
retreated from his relentless advance and fired mercilessly into the MBT in the
liger's hand, not caring in the slightest about the fate of their comrades still
locked inside. The shells tore easily through the relatively thin roof of the
turret and nearly tore right through the vehicle: Killer saw the bottom of the
tank bulge outwards tellingly, and even saw the ruined, dull tip of the
armor-piercing rods poking through before they lost their momentum. Inside the tank,
ammunition and fuel began to brew up and tall flames erupted out of the top
hatches. The liger hurled the burning wreckage hard in front of himself,
grinning in vicious satisfaction as the massive vehicle crashed into another
tank and bent the cannon completely out of shape.
The vehicle
trapped at the bottom of the pile struggled to retreat, its suspensions
violently bottomed out by the tremendous extra weight, and the engine roared
and spluttered, coughing out a great cloud of smoke as the tracks sluggishly
bit into the asphalt without really getting the MBT to move, and Killer grinned
coldly before smashing his foot down into the vehicle, punting it violently
across the street, sending both tanks screeching backwards, steamrolling RA
brutes into squishes of gore and nearly flattening an approaching IFV as they
crashed into it with enough violence that all three deformed metal hulks
smashed through the perimeter wall of the barracks, coming to a stop in the
middle of the vast courtyard.
Another RA
infantry fighting vehicle trailed its turret on him and barked out a burst of
large armor piercing rounds, forcing Killer to duck as he threw himself
forwards. The IFV's cannon angled downwards to try and keep him in sight, but
despite his enormous sizes the liger was incredibly agile: he closed the
distance in a second, and grabbed the IFV by a track, grunting as his enormous
biceps bulged and he hefted the great vehicle into the sky, sending it flying
higher than some of the buildings around and at the same time ripping the track
right off, effortlessly swinging that segmented piece of steel weighting a few
tons on its own.
A couple of
RA brutes that had been dismounting from the rear compartment of the IFV fell
down from the sky like stones, but at the last moment flipped with
unimaginable, almost unnatural elegance and landed heavily on their feet, their
exoskeletons hissing and whirring as the actuators connected to their legs
absorbed the violent impact. Both RA warriors sprung forwards in an immediate attack,
one of them unleashing a long burst of machinegun fire against Killer while the
other drew out a large sword and went for a direct attack, swinging the heavy
blade up towards the liger's hip.
Killer
easily slung the motorbike down from his shoulder and used the heavy, honeycomb
metal-and-composite wheel to meet the blade in a violent crash of metal, and
the blade only managed to uselessly dent the metal structure and the sturdy
composites that absorbed the impact. The brute looked confused for a moment,
recoiling with the violence of that clash, but it immediately lunged forwards
as it detected what looked like an opening in Killer's guard. The liger,
however, snapped the heavy track band hanging from his other hand like it was a
gigantic whip made of sharp segments of steel. It clanged loudly as it swung
out and smacked both RA soldiers, cutting their bodies into pieces and sending
their remains splattering out in a wide, sick arc of blood and chunky gore.
Some segments of the track band snapped loose and flew off, but enough of the
heavy band of steel remained for another whiplash which tore through another
group of RA troopers that were dismounting from another IFV, still facing in
the opposite direction as it laid down fire against the windows of the
barracks.
There was a
tremendous splatter of crimson mist and broken weapons and exoskeletons as the
heavy track tore bodies apart and even ripped a chunk of the IFV out, before
Killer swung it hard downwards one last time, striking the armoured vehicle and
nearly chopping it in half down the middle, breaking its turret in two before
the steel band simply disintegrated.
The driver
of the damaged IFV, left alone as all others on board were turned into bloody
mist, desperately engaged the reverse and stomped on the gas, bracing as the
nearly fifty tons of armoured vehicle violently lurched backwards against the
liger. Killer smirked as he caught the back of the IFV in his hand, gripping
into the top of the open troop compartment's ramp and grinning as the thick
steel crumpled out of shape, as weak as butter in his hold. The engine roared,
but in vain as Killer effortlessly shoved the massive vehicle hard forwards
instead, forcing it away from him even as the tracks ground the asphalt to dust
and debris.
He looked
around himself almost idly as he effortlessly hefted the large vehicle clear
off the ground and held it aloft like it had no weight at all: the RA had
breached the perimeter wall of the barracks in a multitude of places, and tanks
and IFVs and even powered armors had rushed into the courtyard beyond, swarming
the training ground and surrounding the buildings. All watchtowers had been
blown to bits and now were nothing more than silent hills of concrete ruins and
maimed corpses, but several RA tanks were wrecked and abandoned just past the
breaches, struck by shoulder-fired missiles and rockets.
A ferocious
tank battle raged on across the courtyard, with Kendrew's crews jousting
valiantly against an enemy that was superior in numbers and in firepower.
Several of Kendrew's tanks were burning inside their garages still, struck
while they attempted to drive out to join the fight. Burning, smoldering hulks
were scattered all around the barracks and the buildings themselves were
burning, the façade riddled with bullet holes and ruined by a multitude of
great breaches where missiles, rockets and tank-fired shells had struck.
Thermobaric rockets had been used by the RA to clear out the resistance of the
cadets, and a large part of the building was now an empty, darkened skeleton of
smoldering concrete. And yet, the garrison was still fighting on with all it
had, and holding up the RA assault teams that moved up behind the great shields
of the “walkers" or ducking behind tanks and IFVs.
To the
south, in the distance, the battle raged on even in the massive car park, with
Kendrew cadets and soldiers locked in firefights against the RA brutes. They
were vicious, bloody brawls fought at close range between rows of new, freshly
produced tanks parked just a few inches one from the other. Further away,
beyond what was left of the southern wall and what had once been the garrison's
monumental entrance, Killer could see the first great warehouses of the RA
factories, and the trains that were being loaded up with as many tanks and
vehicles as they could possibly carry.
STALKER 6
flew in, flying just above the city's power lines, and it spun on a dime to let
the snipers on either side let out their accurate shots against the RA assault
teams crossing the courtyard. Killer saw several brutes going down, their heads
bursting into splatters of gore, and within moments the columns of attackers
were hit by the shells of the artillery on the island. Great fountains of dirt
and debris exploded skywards as the first salvo struck in the middle of a
couple of assault columns, and shrapnel ripped apart the brutes and even tore
into the slowly advancing IFVs.
STALKER 6
added to the carnage by making a bold run in across the north corner of the
courtyard: an RA IFV had reached the wall of the barrack's main block and had
rammed right through it, opening a breach that was being exploited by assault
troops to swarm inside. Calling in the artillery would have been too risky for
the defenders still holding out inside the building, and so the small
helicopter lined itself up and swept in for a rocket salvo. It was armed with
two rocket pods and two miniguns under its stub wings, and it opened up with
both systems, unleashing a deluge of bullets and some 18 rockets into the RA
column, obliterating it in a great succession of fiery explosions.
The RA
assault troops seemed taken aback for a brief moment by the sudden appearance
of enemy reinforcements coming up from their rear, but as always did not have
any emotional reaction. Several of the tanks and IFVs just turned around to
form a new front, and Killer saw several of the combat vehicles elevating their
quick-firing cannons to target STALKER 6. Immediately, the liger charged into
the courtyard and hurled the IFV in his hand with all his force, grinning
sharkishly as it struck like a meteor, crushing a pair of combat vehicles into
crumpled hulks and knocking a third over as it disintegrated into fragments
that spun high up into the sky.
RA brutes
that had been just behind the stumps of the perimeter wall attacked him from
either side, opening up with their rifles while one particular brute, wearing
an enhanced exoskeleton with larger, thicker plates of armor lunged against him
with a large sword which probably had been designed to double as a break-in
instrument able to cut down even armoured doors, because it had a roaring
chainsaw blade with cruel fangs of steel. Killer angrily swatted the closer
brutes into the wall, slapping them into it with such force that they burst
apart in a spray of crimson gore, their shattered bones tearing right through
the wall as it cracked and then fell over, and the hulking male sidestepped
away from the noisy chainsaw, gritting his fangs as it sliced neatly through a
piece of wall behind him. Killer reached down with terrible speed and caught
the outstretched arm of the “samurai", crumpling bone and exoskeleton alike in
his grip and causing the chainsaw blade to splutter and slow down as the power
to it was disconnected. The weapon nearly fell out of fingers that suddenly
spasmed without any residual force and control, but it continued to dangle from
the exoskeleton part of the arm, and Killer felt a particular kind of hate
mounting for the variety of mechanical enhancements that the RA was recklessly
experimenting with. At the same time, Killer hefted the brute skywards and then
slammed him down with savage force on top of its companions on the opposite
side of him. The impact was so tremendous that numerous brutes burst apart,
their guts and insides bursting out in a ugly splatter that painted the ground
crimson, leaving only a bloodied, broken leg hanging from Killer's grip.
The hulking
alpha tossed this away with a contemptuous snort, immediately charging into the
courtyard and bulldozing its way through and over the RA troops that were
hastily turning around to face him.
Battlegroup
Felix made its entry as well, the tanks and APCs climbing over the piles of
rubble and pushing through the breaches in the wall to clear the northern
corner of the training ground. Felix's tank and three others, well spaced out
and working in perfect timing, knocked out as many RA vehicles in the space of
a few seconds.
“It's been
years since I last saw this many rounds coming my way." Felix commented, in a
strangely peaceful voice, while keeping his eyes fixed on his screen. His
vision blocks were cracked and damaged, but fortunately he still had a decent view
of the outside world through the various cameras embedded in the armour. He saw
a fountain of dirt and debris erupt slightly to the front and to the left of
his tank, and guessed, more than saw, the supersonic shockwave of another
armor-piercing dart rushing part them, but did his best to stay focused as he
used his joystick to turn the tank's turret around. He pressed a button, and a
laser sent a light pulse against the target, measuring the distance and
allowing the computer to calculate the ballistics… and then he barked the
firing command, and the massive, square-ish lump of steel of the cannon's
breech recoiled violently at his side as the cannon unleashed an armor piercing
dart. Its sabot peeled away as soon as it left the barrel, and the long, thin
needle of depleted uranium smacked into an RA tank at highly supersonic speed,
ripping straight through the armour in an explosion of sparkles, followed by a
great eruption of fire as the blow-off panels in the back of the turret were
slammed skywards by the violent brewing of the ammunition.
The RA
crew, or at least part of it, survived and, incredibly, continued to fight with
the coaxial machine gun, the only weapon system that was still working,
unleashing long bursts against the Kendrew soldiers that followed the tanks and
IFVs. Felix muttered incredulously at that, once more rattled to the very bone
by the complete disregard that the RA soldiers showed for the value of life,
starting with their very own. The blown-off panels had gained them some time by
venting the violence of the explosion out of the tank, but if they didn't get
out quickly they were eventually still going to be consumed by the flames that
would inexorably spread.
There was
no humanity in those brutes, he bitterly thought. They were more robots than
people. For years he had worked in close contact with RA elements, and had even
received new equipment and new training from them, but not a single one of them
had ever spent a world about home, family, friends. It had quickly grown unnerving
to no end, and it had made working with them literally disturbing, but even so,
Felix had never imagined that every RA soldier would literally blow himself up,
or face any kind of horrendous death, rather than surrender.
He didn't
like them and he certainly didn't trust them, but he had never imagined how
truly perverse and sick they were. He had thought they were fanatics, but what
they were now discovering in that night of sudden, savage carnage was a depth
of sickness that could hardly be described by words.
He shook
himself out of those thoughts as another armor-piercing round smacked into the
ground nearby and ricocheted skywards with enough violence to make his tank
wobble. Thankfully, Killer had rammed his shoulder into the RA MBT at the
opportune moment, sending the shot off target as the heavy vehicle rolled over
like a toy, otherwise it would have been game over. Felix's hand trembled as he
hurriedly worked his joystick to trail the gun against another RA tank. He
ignored the burning vehicle, even as it insisted in firing its machinegun: it
was no immediate threat and either one of the IFVs or simply time itself would
eventually silence it for good.
His mind
revolted, but he forced himself to focus on the very real deluge of fire that
still came from the RA's line. The enemy had been caught in a disadvantageous
position, yet it refused to retreat. Every single tank fought to the death
where it stood, gaining time for reinforcements to push up and form a second
line of defence. Thankfully, Killer was in the lead, more devastating than a
wedge of battle tanks, and he quickly charged into the new RA line, smashing
tanks and IFVs into crumbled wrecks and flipping other combat vehicles over
like they were made of plastic.
The RA was
forced to try and take down that unstoppable god of war, and that gave Felix
and his comrades a chance. “Tank, 1o'clock! Fin! FIRE!"
The cannon
recoiled again, and the smell of the explosive charge filled the fighting
compartment while the loader used his knee to press a button that made the
armor panels of the ammunition depot slip open. He dug into the bustle and went
for another “Fin", shorthand for Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discharging
Sabot (APFSDS) even before Felix mechanically shouted the command. The loader
didn't need to have a view on the outside world to know that there were a lot
of RA tanks ahead of them still.
Jets roared
overhead once more, and Felix shifted anxiously in his seat, catching a flash
of light to the right and sneaking a gaze in that direction to see a large bomb
exploding halfway between two of his tanks: the nearest one was nearly blown
apart by the explosion, while the other ended up shredding a track.
“Alpha 04;
mobility kill. Bailing out!" Came the voice on the radio, and Felix saw the
hatches opening and, with some relief, saw all four the crewmembers crawling
out and rolling down the back of the turret, using their disabled tank as cover
as a deluge of bullets clanged against the armour.
There were
explosions in the sky above, and an RA fighter bomber fell to the ground like a
stone, becoming a ball of burning fuel that splashed over some of the new tanks
parked in rows right ahead. Another jet crashed into the façade of a building
while the others filled the sky with chaff and flare, maneuvering to try and
escape as missiles rushed in from the island fortress to the north.
Then Felix
was suddenly faced by a wall of roaring flames as tanks full of napalm rained
down from the sky, unleashing hell over and in front of the battlegroup. The
thermal camera became useless as the glow filled the screen, and Felix cursed
under his breath but made do with the day cameras, urgently ordering: “Drive
right through!" The terrible chemical fire was not such a big threat for the
tanks, but he was horrified at the thought of the infantry following them:
whoever was caught by splatters of the sticky, infernal mixture would be in for
a terrible agony.
To the
east, the RA jets dropped more bombs and more napalm, and an enormous column of
fire rose skywards when at least one of the precious depots of fuel and
ammunition at the proving ground were hit and blown to smithereens. In the
light coming from the roaring flames, Felix could see cadets and survivors from
disabled tanks still running along the dirt road that led to the proving
ground, and he even caught sight of a fuel tanker carefully navigating a path
past the burning rivers of napalm to try and get to the tank park.
Felix
pushed onwards, with his depleted squadron spreading out in a widely spaced
wedge that pushed up in Killer's wake. The hulking alpha punched and smashed
great breaches through the attempts of the RA to set up lines of defence, and
Felix and his squadron completed the job, widening the breach. Within a few
bloody minutes of vicious fighting, battlegroup Felix reached the edge of the
vehicle park.
If
possible, however, things only got even more dangerous there: the narrow roads
between the endless rows of parked tanks only allowed the passage of one or two
vehicles at a time, and between the parked vehicles lurked suicidal RA brutes
armed with deadly shoulder-fired rockets, heavy caliber machineguns and, of
course, their explosive charges. They were all too happy to throw themselves
under the tracks of passing Kendrew tanks to act as living mines, so the
infantry had to take the lead, climbing over the parked, freshly-produced tanks
and clearing the parking lot in a nightmarish, slow and bloody crawl.
The
Infantry Fighting Vehicles slowly rolled down the sinister roads between the
rows of parked tanks, with infantry teams on either side, and they fired
airburst rounds that, exploding in midair and projecting a deadly hail of
shrapnel downwards, were perfect for hitting the RA brutes hiding behind cover.
Ammunition quickly began to run low, however, and hand-to-hand combat still erupted
all over the parking lot as the RA brutes emerged from beneath the parked
tanks.
Felix had
rarely been more anxious in his life than in those interminable moments as he
kept trailing the tank's tower from side to side, unleashing bursts of coaxial
machinegun fire while they slowly crawled forwards between rows of parked
vehicles. An IFV led the way, slightly ahead and to the right, because its
quick-firing cannon was more useful in that specific situation and its airburst
ammunition would take down the brutes without destroying the precious parked
tanks.
The much
bigger cannon of the MBT, with its long barrel, couldn't even turn all the way
to the sides without getting caught in the barrels of the parked vehicles, and
that only made Felix feel even more naked and vulnerable.
He tried
not to even blink, knowing that a single instant of distraction could mean
getting blown up by a suicide bomber or a rocket fired from the side, but he
also had to lead the rest of his forces. With the siege now broken, what was
left of the other squadrons of the regiment could push forwards as well, and
Felix ordered B and C Squadron to move quickly down either side of the vehicle
park and turn the sides of the RA's front.
His fingers
flew on the touchscreen, sending the orders in message format over the data
network, and at the same time he gritted his teeth almost painfully as he
watched a couple of soldiers climbing over yet another parked tank. They
crawled on top of the turret, keeping low to avoid the bullets that whipped
past them from seemingly every direction, and one of them leaned forwards just
enough to drop a hand grenade down the opposite side of the tank. They ducked
back behind cover as the HE-Frag grenade exploded, producing a muted, metallic
thud as the explosion was contained in the narrow space between two tanks.
Other
soldiers checked beneath the heavy vehicle and hurriedly moved past it,
beginning to check out the spaces beneath and around the next vehicle in line.
An RA brute was sprawled in the mud, bloodied and broken, and a pair of Kendrew
soldiers instinctively walked around the corpse rather than over it. Felix frowned,
a shiver running down his spine and telling him that something was wrong, but
he couldn't put his finger on what… before the “corpse" suddenly moved, and
rolled on a flank to lunge after the two soldiers that had just moved past.
The gunner,
sitting on the opposite side of the cannon, was quick in stomping his foot on
the pedal that activated the coaxial machinegun, and bullets riddled the RA
hulk, sending great sprays of blood up. The Kendrew soldiers didn't immediately
understand what had happened, but threw themselves to the ground upon hearing
the bullets whipping down so close to them, and that probably saved their lives
as the RA brute remorselessly blew himself up.
“Fire into
every corpse! Make sure they are fuckin' dead!" Felix barked out, activating
both the radio and the loudspeakers that were fitted on the outside of the
tower to allow the crew to address crowds.
Further
ahead, other suicidal RA brutes emerged from beneath a tank, even though
grenades had just been tossed there, and a Kendrew soldier was brutally smashed
back into the side of the IFV, the hulking, exoskeleton-empowered brute
effortlessly hefting the smaller warrior right off the ground and ripping his
spine out with just one metallic hand. Felix grimaced as the brute callously
threw away the twitching, dead corpse and then stabbed a large, heavy
cleaver-sword through the side of the IFV, slicing its flank open like it was
cheap plastic. Bullets smacked into the exoskeleton-armour, but the hulking
brute, empowered by multiple pieces of cyberware, refused to go down, ripping
his sword back and swinging it hard against the nearest Kendrew rifleman,
slicing him in half. Finally, another of Kendrew's warriors managed to aim his
rifle at the hulking beast and fired a grenade from the underslung launcher. It
smacked into the neck of the RA super-soldier and burst apart in a shower of
vicious chemical fire that immediately began to consume flesh and Kevlar vest
alike, finally sending the brute into
its final, suicidal act. He threw himself against the IFV, which desperately
retreated.
“Fuck…!"
Felix's driver loudly cursed, hammering in the reverse gear as well and sending
the tank lurching backwards, but the IFV was faster and crashed backwards into
them, before the brute rammed his shoulder into the flank of the vehicle and
exploded in a splatter of gore.
The blast
ripped a large hole open in the side of the IFV and caused one track to snap
apart and fall off the roadhweels, leaving the IFV smoldering and immobilized,
but thankfully not destroyed: the automatic fire extinguisher filled the
torn-apart rear compartment with gas to try and choke out the flames, and the
driver almost immediately squeezed his way out of his cramped seat and ran out,
coughing because of the fire-extinguishing fog. The two men in the turret continued to fight on, the cannon barking
another short burst of rounds that exploded further down the road as three more
brutes pushed out from beneath parked vehicles and fired their anti-tank
rockets.
“Driver,
push them out of the way, we need to keep moving!" Felix urged, and the tank
lurched forwards, maneuvering behind the IFV and then bumping into it as
“gently" as possible. The engine roared, the tracks grinding the asphalt to
dust as the tank struggled to move that great mass of smoldering steel, but
they insisted until the hulk of the IFV began to loudly grind its way to the
side.
An
anti-tank missile flew just above them with a whoosh, eventually striking
another vehicle a hundred meters further back, and Felix knew that it was only
a matter of time before their luck inexorably ran out. He fired off a barrage
of smoke grenades that burst apart in midair and surrounded them with a thick
cloud of cold fog, and the driver cursed under his breath as he slightly
reversed and then pushed forwards again, harder, angling the shove to the
right.
It took a
few interminable moments of tension to push the IFV out of the way just far
enough to squeeze right past, and the painstakingly slow and dangerous advance
resumed. Thankfully, B Squadron smashed through the perimeter wall at the other
hand of the car park and rolled in, shooting up five RA tanks in a matter of
seconds. Battlegroup B then began to push across the car park, from east to
west, trying to cut off RA reinforcements from the maze of parked vehicles.
C Squadron,
at the end of its own hook maneuver, turned the RA flank once again and
advanced directly on the first massive warehouses and factories further ahead. Killer
was already there, tearing his way through the RA ranks into one of the
enormous forges where the steel hulls of the tanks were fused together in a
single, massive piece. The huge male made his way through the factory,
nervously checking the colossal, tower-like pillars of concrete for signs of
explosive charges emplaced for the demolition of the building: he was just in
time to slaughter a couple of RA engineers which were digging small niches into
the concrete for the placement of the charges.
Killer
dropped his shoulder and smashed his way through a wall to emerge in the
courtyard further ahead, where several new railway lines ended against sturdy
concrete ramps that allowed the newly produced tanks and armored vehicles to
comfortably drive right on. He was unsurprised, but nonetheless amazed, to find
that every last railway track had a huge convoy of flat cars parked up against
the ramp. The locomotives, colossal custom-made machines meant specifically to
tow such oversized payloads, were visible in the distance, hundreds of meters
away, and the courtyard was alive with a multitude of vehicles that climbed
onto the flat cars one after the other. A great number of brutes were hard at
work fixing heavy chains to secure the tanks to the flat cars, while powered
armors formed a defensive perimeter and others put their mechanical “muscle" to
use by loading containers and crates containing ammunition, spare parts or
machinery that was being hastily removed from the factories.
They all
seemed shocked to see Killer emerge from a great cloud of debris, and the
nearest powered armor was knocked over by a large chunk of wall crashing into
it. A second “walker" sharply turned around and fired its two anti-tank
missiles against the liger, who instinctively ducked and picked up a large,
broken-off slab of reinforced concrete, hurling it upwards with a grunt.
The missiles
crashed into it and exploded, disintegrating the concrete in a myriad of
fragments and projecting great “spears" of supersonic, incandescent plasma
right through, but before the powered armor could even realize what exactly had
happened, Killer slapped the remains of the slab out of his way and tackled the
robot down to the ground, his heavy hand leaning down on top of the cockpit and
flattening it with a great groan of complaint from the deforming metal.
One of the
trains ahead began to move, leaving the ramp and gradually picking up speed,
loaded with enough tanks to equip the best part of a battalion, and Killer
gritted his fangs and sprinted in that direction, while bullets whipped past
him and others crashed into his body, crumpling against his solid musculature.
He shielded himself as best he could as grenades exploded around him, pelting
him with shrapnel, and he focused on running alongside the train, using it for
cover as he fixed his gaze on the locomotive in the distance.
The train
attempted to accelerate away from him, but even with how powerful the enormous
armoured locomotive was, the convoy could only gradually build up speed due to
its extraordinary length and weight. Killer couldn't help but smirk as he
easily gained ground, and within seconds he reached a speed easily five times
greater than the maximum the train was ever possibly going to touch. He
effortlessly overtook the massive locomotive, completely ignoring the insisted
fire of multiple machine guns that were trailed on him through slits and from
little turrets on top of the locomotive. The liger couldn't help but revel in
his own tremendous, supernatural power as he fearlessly stepped onto the tracks
well ahead of the train and stood his ground, lazily extending his arm, his palm
open and aimed at the locomotive that roared and raced forth at the greatest
speed it could reach. The hulking alpha was fearless: he knew that he could
stop even that titanic machine dead in its tracks, and only grinned as the RA
prepared to run him over, no doubt believing they could turn him into liquid
gore.
He flexed
his enormous musculature and cracked his neck, settling himself for the impact
and becoming more immovable than a mountain. He couldn't help but disdainfully
snort: “Pathetic."
The locomotive
slammed into his hand like a meteor of steel, but Killer wasn't even budged,
his arm and his whole, muscular figure tearing through the enormous machine
like a blade through butter. Steel crumpled like wet, pulpy paper against him;
the armour of the military locomotive tore apart like a cheap plastic sheet and
the engines beneath burst apart in a million pieces. The entire convoy recoiled
violently and several of the cars ended up skidding off the rails, screeching
to awkward stops on either side of Killer.
The liger
licked his lips, his thick slabs of pectoral muscle jumping as he flexed
slightly, toes curling inside his boots with the delicious feeling of his own
absurd potency as he effortlessly stepped forwards, ripping through the
locomotive that basically disintegrated around him, until his hand managed to
grab something that didn't simply pulverize under his fingers. With a lazy
twist of his wrist, he hefted what remained of the gigantic locomotive clear
off the tracks, easily lifting it high above his head, and he almost mockingly
pulled up one foot to stop the flat cars that still rolled forwards because of
inertia. The metal crumpled against his unmovable foot, and the convoy finally
ground to a stop just as RA powered armors charged forth against the hulking
liger.
Killer
grinned and clicked his lips in disapproval, and then hurled the gigantic,
wrecked locomotive against them, laughing as the colossal hulk of crumpled
metal crashed into them like a meteor, hammering them down into the dirt and
sending up a grotesque cloud of crimson fluids and chunky gore, while what was
left of the locomotive bounced upwards violently, spinning once, twice, thrice
before slamming into the ground again, half-sinking into it before toppling
over.
Even the
RA's unthinking troops seemed to grind to a shocked halt in front of that
display of supernatural power, as if even those cyber-enhanced “zombies" were
beginning to question the wisdom of throwing themselves against such
unstoppable force. They seemed to stare at him with disbelieving resignation as
a second enormous locomotive speeded down the other track, attempting to rush
past the hulking male. Killer smirked mockingly towards them and then sprinted
after this second train, effortlessly catching up with it before he leapt
against the flank of the armoured locomotive, and tore right through it like it
was made of paper, emerging out of the opposite side holding one of the massive
diesel generator sets in his hand like it was a pencil. Killer threw the
enormous piece of machinery towards the stunned powered armors, grinning as the
gigantic engine block squished two of them before crashing into three more,
flattening them all into streaks of wreckage smeared deep into the dirt.
The gutted
locomotive, reduced to a pathetic wreckage on wheels, gutted open like a fish
and left without power, rolled powerlessly forwards out of inertia, slower and
slower, and before it was even done grinding to a halt, Killer effortlessly
grabbed into the side of one of the flat cars loaded with tanks and
effortlessly dragged the train back towards the terminal. Killer snorted
mockingly as the RA walkers turned their backs to him and rushed away to try
and form a front against Felix and his battlegroup instead.
He sprinted
in their direction, ready to smash their line to bits and act as the hammer as
the advancing battlegroup Felix served as anvil, but heard the infernal whistle
of heavy artillery coming in and collected himself instead, instinctively
shrinking his head between his shoulders and throwing himself off to the side.
Experience made it possible to tell approximately where the shells would land
from just their whistle, and Killer had almost certainly been under artillery
bombardment for far more time than any other being alive in the world. He hated
that his enemies' answer to his overwhelming strength was always invariably to
engage him from three dozen kilometers away, but he perfectly understood why
they did that.
It made
sense. And in this case it also helped explain why the brutes and powered
armors suddenly decided to stay far away from him. Heavy shells smacked into
the ground all around him, exploding on impact and throwing up enormous
fountain of dirt, dust and debris as well as hurling around massive pieces of
shrapnel that, at close range, could rip even through the thick skin of tanks.
Other
shells exploded in midair, tormenting him with a shower of incandescent
shrapnel which smacked into the ground hard enough to pulverize the dirt and
lift it up in thick clouds all around as even the hulking liger nearly fell
over as he was slammed around by the violent waves of pressure coming from the
multiple explosions. He hissed in pain as some of the largest slivers of metal
managed to pierce even through his muscles, ripping gashes in his flesh as he
blindly charged back towards the terminal.
He shut his
eyes tightly as the flashes of light in the darkness threatened to blind him
completely, and gritted his fangs as a ceaseless, painful whistle filled his
ears, but still he tried to run a few calculations in his mind even as he
stumbled through the bombardment. The latest models of self-propelled guns
could, depending on range and elevation of the shot, fire up to 6 rounds in a
way that ensured they would all crash simultaneously onto the target. Still,
between airburst and impact shells, he estimated that a full regimental set of
24 to 32 howitzers had opened up and was adjusting its shots to keep him under
unrelenting pressure.
They could
be easily 40 kilometers away, and they were probably only the first few
batteries the RA would throw into the fight. They might also decide to
recklessly target the city itself, just to massacre the civilians: for all he
had seen of the RA so far, he could tell that they would gladly “sacrifice" as
many civilians as it took to get an adversary to beg for a stop to the
slaughter.
The
violence of the bombardment was such that he had to rely mostly on instinct to
catch up with the powered armors of the RA: he nearly crashed into the back of
one before realizing what he was doing. As the machine began to spin to engage
him, he punched its sensor-head right off and then slammed his powerful arm in
a downwards cut that ripped the cockpit in half and turned the driver hidden
inside into an ugly splatter of crimson. The artillery continued to fire
remorselessly even as Killer pushed on through the loose frontline of RA
powered armors, and he smirked grimly as he saw one of the Walkers obliterated
by a direct hit from a shell, and at least two others that collapsed when
shrapnel from airburst rounds ripped apart the main power and hydraulic lines
in their mechanical limbs.
He caught
up with another of the infernal machines, grabbed it by the back of the “head"
and yanked it down to slam the walker into the earth in a wrestling move that
caused the cockpit to crumple inwards as the weapons on the shoulders of the
machine bent out of shape in the impact.
He stomped
his way over to the next Walker in line, but turned around with a grunt as he
heard, even over the endless bombardment, the noise of an helicopter running in
for a strike. He immediately knew, from the noise alone, that it couldn't
possibly be STALKER 6 or any of the others, but a much larger gunship, so he
grabbed the powered armor and hefted it up high, shielding himself with the
machine even as it flailed and kicked and attempted to punch him with its
massive, pincer-like steel hands.
A salvo of
rockets and at least one anti-tank missile crashed down into the Walker, the
explosions blowing Killer backwards, causing his feet to tear deep furrows in
the ground as he anchored himself with all of his strength, arms vibrating
painfully as the sequence of explosions nearly disintegrated the heavy robot in
his grip. He leaned into the storm and threw the heavy lump of smoldering steel
hard upwards, and grinned as he caught the gunship straight into the engines
and rotor, causing the blades of the rotor to explode into pieces. A second RA
gunship swept in low, ready for another assault, but this time STALKER 6 really
rolled in as well, exploiting its agility and small size to spin into position
onto the flank of the enemy helicopter, miniguns vomiting out a tempest of
bullets at close range.
The RA
gunship was heavily armoured, but from such distance, the thousands of bullets
coming from STALKER 6 were still able to eventually pierce through enough areas
of the fuselage that the larger helicopter became largely uncontrollable and
just stumbled away as best it could.
There were
more RA helicopters sweeping in for the attack, exploiting the artillery
bombardment as added cover, but by that point the tide of battle had well and
truly turned, at least in that area of town. B and C squadrons pushed up from
the flanks, while Felix's A Squadron, having finally pushed through the
nightmare of the car park, literally raced up through the factory itself, the
tanks and IFVs gunning down the RA brutes that were working to sabotage the
machinery and plant mines into the structures. They emerged out of the warehouses
and directly onto the platforms where RA personnel was hard at work to load
other trains, and as one of the locomotives attempted to move away, three tanks
fired at it almost simultaneously, sending armor-piercing darts ripping
straight through it.
The IFVs
following the tanks elevated their quick-firing cannons and blasted out
airburst rounds that filled the sky with shrapnel, tearing the RA gunships
apart and forcing those that survived into moving back to a safer distance. The
RA artillery was truly giving its all, however, and Kendrew's soldiers had to
stick to cover or hurriedly climb back inside the IFVs to have some protection
from that infernal rain of burning steel which clanged horribly against the
armoured vehicles… and sometimes still managed to tear through their armour,
causing horrifying damage. The blasts ripped aerials off the armoured vehicles,
pulverized the rucksacks and stores that had been hung on the outside of the
infantry carriers, always cramped with sweaty bodies, and the shrapnel damaged
optics and vision blocks and other subsystems, but even under that infernal
pounding, Felix and his comrades kept pushing onwards.
And
suddenly, in the distance, some of the huge cannons of the island fortress and
even of Killer's battery thundered out their rage as well. Killer looked up in
surprise and horror, fearing that the battery on the mountain might have fallen
into enemy hands… but thankfully it was immediately obvious that the fortress
was firing at long range, attempting to suppress the RA guns.
Felix's
tank, battered and still caked here and there in burning napalm, rumbled closer
and Killer hurried over to it, half-ducking beneath its shape to get some
respite from the constant hammering of shockwaves and shrapnel. He leaned his
back against the tank, and took his breath for a second before picking up his
radio set. “SHARPEYE 1, what do you have for me?"
“The RA
troops are falling back on the factories further out towards the edge of town.
They are continuing to load up trains, and we can see convoys moving down the
highway as well. They are retreating, your Highness!" The sniper,
understandably so, sounded quite incredulous, considering that the RA was
definitely winning the battle until less than an hour earlier, and it fielded
far more and better armed troops across most of town.
“Do you
have line of sight on a safe route out of town?" Killer urgently enquired, and
the sniper confirmed that most streets were emptying of RA presence. Most
checkpoints had been vacated as the troops moved toward the factories and car
parks.
Felix, even
locked inside his tank, guessed that Killer had to be planning out the next
phase of the battle and, courageously, pushed up his hatch to poke his head out
and confer with him, but Killer winced and immediately pressed the hatch back
down as shrapnel still clanged viciously against the armour, ripping gashes in
the hard metal like it was butter. “I appreciate the gesture, but you'll better
stay in!"
The
loudspeakers on the turret came alive, and Felix's voice came from it with a
note of incredulity as he quietly said: “I… Wow. I shouldn't be able to hear
your voice through all that steel."
“My voice
is deep." Killer commented, smirking in entertainment. His growl rattled the
tank almost harder than the explosions. “I need you to form another battlegroup
with all the troops you can spare, and launch it out of town and straight out
to Freedall. SHARPEYE will guide them on the radio; tell them which streets are
clear of RA checkpoints. They need to run.
I need them in Freedall ASAP to form a screen across the highway and the
railway lines, to keep the RA reinforcements out… and the RA garrisons in."
“We can do
that, your majesty." Felix assured, and undoubtedly he immediately began to
send out messages on the network because a couple of squadrons of tanks began
to move, forming up at the edge of the railway terminal, ready to move
southwards. IFVs began to take position as well, and new vehicles, crewed by
cadets and survivors, were now rolling in from the proving ground, even though
it was still fiercely burning.
“There are
elements of at least a couple of company groups of mechanized infantry in and
around Freedall." Killer added, running an estimate based on the patrols he had
met and dealt with. “Link up with them and put a front across all routes in and
out." Killer hoped to be able to prevent the RA garrisons of Kendrew to get out
of the capital and link up with other forces across the kingdom. The last thing
he wanted was having to fight a second and even more terrible battle against
all those troops.
He looked
up as the forming battlegroup smashes its way through the wall that surrounded
the railway terminal area and roared at full speed down the street beyond. If
they managed to avoid further fights along the way, they could get to Freedall
quickly, hopefully before even more RA troops could push their way up along the
highway.
Killer took
a deep breath, and tried to think of what else he should be doing to turn the
battle around. Should he accompany Felix and the others onto the next target,
or should he go to the Island and take care of Griagas…? Griagas was no longer
a factor in the fight, since “his" army had gladly ceased to care about him and
accepted Killer's leadership like he already was their king, but on the other
hand the RA was blocking communications and, by holding the ways out of the
island, it was trapping the valuable regiments of the Guard in the middle of
the lake.
It was time
to fix that problem.
“I'm going
to assault the Island now." Killer announced, and Felix had by now seen more
than enough to know there was no reason to question the wisdom of him charging,
alone, against troops entrenched in defence. “Once I take the ravelin back, I'm
going to send the Guards out to help you mop up the rest of the RA forces in
town. Keep pushing onto the factories, and capture them intact: we are going to
need them."
“Sir, yes
sir." Felix assured, even though he was already thinking ahead to the next
break-through battle. Having Killer in the vanguard had made things a lot
easier; now it was their turn to truly prove their worth. To say that he looked
forwards to having the Guards backing him up was an understatement.
Killer
grunted as he finally put down the motorbike that for all that time he had been
casually carrying on one shoulder. It bounced heavily on its honeycomb,
“unbreakable" wheels, and amazingly, even though shrapnel had pierced and
scratched through almost every inch of its sturdy body, it roared back to life
as soon as Killer throttled it.
The liger
climbed on and shot its way back to the lake's shore, driving through the
conquered factory and then emerging on the once beautiful shore street, which
was now cratered by artillery fire and littered with corpses and ruins. A
couple of helicopters were still flying back and forth from the island,
unloading groups of Guards on the way out, and loading up casualties for the
return trip.
A long line
of corpses, mercifully covered with whatever blanket could be found, had been
formed on the sidewalk, with the help of civilians that were coming out of
hiding to give their help to the troops. As Killer shot past on his enormous
motorbike, they cheered: whatever the cost of that bloody night, and of the
days ahead, Kendrew was glad to be awakening from that nightmare-full slumber
that had been the joint RA-Griagas reign.
The road
was littered with disabled combat vehicles, wreckage and rubble, but what was
left of the checkpoints was silent and there were no attempts by RA troops to
re-infiltrate behind the hastily formed Kendrew battlegroups. That was a
relief, because there were no troops to spare to truly hold the captured ground.
As Killer
approached the narrow peninsula that pointed at the island in the center of the
vast lake, he was reminded of the previous battle he had fought in that same
town, a decade earlier, to stop Dark's armada. The consequences of that battle
were evident everywhere, for someone who knew what to look at. The shore road
had been elevated several meters, with a massive, sloped shore wall of
reinforced concrete erected. Small staircases led down to the docks and to the
narrow but beautiful shingle beaches below", but gone was the gently sloping
shoreline of the old days: the wall had been built to make it that much more
difficult for amphibious armoured vehicles to enter the water to assault the
island.
Dark's
armada had had an easy time in comparison, as entire battalions of amphibious
armoured vehicles had just driven into the lake and swam their way to the
island. The lesson had been learned, and now there was no easy way to get in
and out of the water, as massive, sloped walls blocked all beaches.
There was
no reason why Kendrew shouldn't have been successfully defended against any kind
and size of invading army… but of course, Kendrew had been given up to the RA,
it had not been conquered. The best fortress in the world still was worth
nothing if the troops assigned to it refused to put up a fight. How had it come
to this…? How could such corruption have made its way so far up north…?
Killer
started to find RA powered armors on his path when he drove his way up the
peninsula. There were no brutes here, and very few conventional tanks and
armored vehicles: the RA had preferred using a large force of those heavily
armed “Walkers" to put the island-fortress under siege, and Killer was forced
to admit that it was the right pick, since the Powered Armors could walk up
stairs, squeeze through narrow passages, climb walls and negotiate obstacles
that conventional tracked or wheeled combat vehicles couldn't possibly deal
with.
Even as
relatively primitive as they were, those “walking tanks" represented a terrible
threat because they could move over a far greater variety of terrains. Killer
had to cut down a multitude of Walkers to get to the tip of the peninsula, but
once there he was rewarded by the discovery of at least one of the RA jammers
that were interdicting the communications.
Hidden in a
courtyard between a group of tall buildings to the right of the main street,
the jammer was very hard to spot, because even its tall telescopic
mast-antennas were mostly hidden just behind the roofs. Killer found it pretty
much only thanks to the mild but insistent noise of the large trailer-mounted
generator that powered the jammer. He followed the noise and turned the corner
to make sure of what it was, and he smirked as he found his prize.
The
powerful panoply of jammers was carried into an armoured container secured onto
a gigantic 8x8 military truck, and it had several large antennas that could be
collapsed down and folded away when the vehicle needed to move. Killer found it
all set up and wired, hard at work, and he grinned with vicious satisfaction as
he walked in, ripped apart the brutes that dared to put up resistance, and then
punched the massive generator into a sizzling, broken piece of scrap metal. He
effortlessly ripped the armoured door right off the side of the container and
ducked into the small, cramped compartment, his shoulders bending the metal
roof out of shape as he still struggled to fit. There were four technicians
inside, and for a moment Killer dared hoping that they could be “persuaded" to
spill some information on the RA, or at least on that advanced battery of
jammers. Unlike the brutes, after all, they weren't bulked up with muscles and
strengthened by an advanced exoskeleton. They didn't seem to be trained for
combat at all, and the liger hoped that they would prove more reasonable
because of it… but his hopes died quickly away when he saw cables going
directly from the computers to their necks. They didn't even acknowledge his
presence, their eyes glazed over and blind, their minds directly communicating
with the electronic systems.
Before he
could even think about dragging them out to attempt an interrogation, a violent
electric discharge traveled through the cables and all four operators twitched
horribly as their nervous systems were fried, their brains shutting down as all
screens in front of them also went black.
Killer
cursed under his breath and hurriedly reached forwards, grabbing the cables and
ripping them right off, ignoring the violent cursing of electricity through his
system, and he angrily slammed his arm down over the four smoldering corpses,
literally smashing them backwards and out of the vehicle through the armoured
wall of the container, which burst open like a sheet of paper as his terrifying
strength brutally tore through it. He was just in time to avoid even worse
damage to the jammers, because the usual explosive charges went off a moment
later, just as what was left of the corpses splattered wetly on the ground
outside.
The
explosions rattled the heavy vehicle, and Killer cursed under his breath as
chunky gore and bone shrapnel splattered against his back, but at least he had
saved the vehicle from complete ruination. He hoped to have it analyzed by a
team of engineers as soon as possible, to try and find good countermeasures
against the RA jamming techniques and, hopefully, to reverse engineer a variant
of the system for use by his own troops. He needed to salvage all the
technology he could, if his troops had to have a prayer against the RA's
superior machines.
He stepped
down from the truck and snapped the high telescopic mast-antennas like twigs,
to make sure that the RA couldn't just put the jammer back into operation as
soon as he left, but he carefully put down the masts for later examination.
And
finally, he walked to the very tip of the peninsula, looking ahead to the
ravelin that towered over the clear waters of the lake.
To a casual
observer, the tower looked medieval, with battlements and drawbridge and all, but
the front and sides of the structure were actually reinforced with
meters-thick, very modern reinforced concrete that made it very much impervious
to enemy offense. Slits in the concrete allowed the defenders to fire anti-tank
guns and machine guns against anything coming up along the peninsula, and the
drawbridge, as ancient as it was in concept, was still very effective. It was
no wooden structure, naturally, but a steel bridge that was drawn up thanks to
enormous metallic arms and counterweights. The gap from the shore to the
ravelin was so great that the bridge scissored open during the descent,
doubling its length to touch down on the reinforced ramp built at the very tip
of the peninsula. Even the heaviest tanks could easily move over that bridge, but
the RA had obviously drawn it up as soon as they had conquered the ravelin.
The back
side of the tower, the one facing towards the castle, was wide open: there was
no wall, no protection on that side, specifically to ensure that, if the enemy
ever managed to capture the ravelin, it provided them with no shelter, no
protected position from which to fire against the bastions. The defenders on
the gatehouse, the walls and the nearby bastions all enjoyed clear lines of
sight into and over the ravelin… and yet the RA, thanks to its heavily armoured
powered armors, was still clinging on to the tower.
Flames
roared out from the top of the ravelin, and even pushed out of the pillbox
slits as massive flamethrowers firing out of the flanks of the island's
bastions unleashed great tongues of fire into the ravelin, as if to cleanse it
from an invasion of particularly unwelcome vermin, and machine gun fire and
rockets hailed down from the top of the bulwarks, but the heavy powered armours
replied with vicious barrages of bullets and grenades, even while they were
hosed down in burning chemicals.
Explosions
rattled the guardhouse and the top of the bastions as a new salvo of RA
missiles struck, and dozens of grenades flew in arches up from the ravelin to
crash down onto the battlements above, and large chunks of reinforced concrete
fell into the lake, along with rubble and corpses and pieces of light
artillery. The second drawbridge, the one which connected the island fortresss'
guardhouse to the back of the ravelin, had been drawn up by the Royal Guards
and now appeared to also be irremediably damaged by the multiple rockets that
had struck it directly. It wasn't immediately clear whether the RA had
deliberately damaged it to prevent any attempt of the Guards of breaking out,
or if they had tried to hit the arms and the mechanism in the hope of causing
the bridge to crash down so they could drive inside.
Whatever
the reason, their efforts couldn't keep Killer out: the hulking liger
shouldered his motorbike once more, and charged forth along the last stretch of
the road, his feet punishing the ground and breaking open deep cracks in the
asphalt as his muscles flexed and tensed and he picked up speed, before he
leapt forwards with a rumble, grinning as he easily overcame the vast gap and
landed on top of the ravelin, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck with
a smirk of satisfaction. It was hard to stay humble when he was capable of such
feats of supernatural strength, and he grinned widely as both the Guards up on the
bastions and the RA powered armors briefly stopped their vicious exchange of
fire to stare at him instead, shocked by what they had just witnessed. The
Guards were left gaping in even greater disbelief when the hulking male snapped
his fingers once, and the sheer force of that idle gesture generated a wave of
pressure powerful enough to snuff out the flames that were consuming the
ravelin, blowing the sticky chemical fuel off the concrete it clung on to and
sending it all falling harmlessly into the lake, together with several powered
armors which were knocked flying like toys swept away by hurricane winds.
Killer
basked in their shocked stares as he stepped forwards to the edge of the
battlement and simply let himself fall, landing on top of another powered armor
and crushing it flat under his feet, before he smashed his palm into another
machine as it charged forwards swinging a huge cleaver-sword. The impact was so
violent that the bulky cockpit seemed to implode even as the heavy machine flew
towards the guardhouse in the distance. The driver who had been inside the
machine died instantaneously as his body shot through the backside of the
armoured Walker and flew across the lake to smack into the guardhouse's solid
stone-and-concrete walls, turning into a ugly crimson stain before the wreckage
of the Walker also slammed into the wall, breaking into pieces that fell
miserably down into the water.
Another
powered armor stepped in front of Killer, rotary, multi-barrel machineguns on
its shoulders blazing and growling as they vomited thousands of bullets into
the hulking male at close range, but they were like small balls of paper and
spit that Killer derided before smashing his huge fist right through the
machine, his hand pushing out of the back before he sliced the whole Walker in
half by swinging his arm skyward. A Walker crawled up behind him and wrapped
its mechanical, heavy arms around his torso, trying to restrain him while the
suicidal explosive charge inside activated, but Killer flexed his enormous
musculature and broke the robot's arms like they were twigs, before he spun on
the spot, grabbed the heavy machine and shoved it violently back against two
others, grinning sharkishly as the explosion turned all three Walkers into
smoldering pieces of wreckage. “You need to go back to the drawing board: these
lumps of steel can't stop me!"
One by one,
he destroyed all of the Powered Armours, not even putting down the motorbike
that he held up on one shoulder, and once he was done kicking the last of the robots
down into the cold waters of the lake, just as the Guards watching on from the
bastions cheered him, he leapt skywards, landing on top of the guardhouse of
the island-fortress as if that was the most natural thing in the world.
Royal
Guards stepped slowly back away from the gigantic male as he slowly straightened
in his full, majestic height, but when Killer showed no sign of hostility
against them, they relaxed visibly.
“W-welcome
to Kendrew, your Highness." A corporal offered. He had to shout to make himself
heard, which was extra weird to see due to the queasy, hesitant little smile he
managed to give the giant, but there was no alternative: the island was one of
the noisiest places on earth in that moment, with dozens of combat vehicles
idling and with entire artillery batteries letting rip further back, in the
royal park and from the bastions. And every now and then, missiles were fired
out of their silos, adding to the tremendous cacophony.
Killer gave
a small nod of appreciation, trying not to laugh in front of that fearful
expression, before looking towards one of the bastions to the west as missiles
roared out of their silos once again, climbing into the night sky to chase the
RA fighter bombers that continued to come in waves over the capital. “Good work
with the artillery, the helicopters and the air defences. They have been key
contributions so far."
“Thanks,
your Majesty." Another officer replied, bowing deeply, before turning sideways
to look down at the courtyard behind the guardhouse. Killer looked down as
well, and saw a great traffic jam of tanks with their engines idling and IFVs
loaded with impatient soldiers eager to get out and help the comrades that were
fighting in the streets. “We would like to do more, but we can't get anywhere
until we manage to open the bridge. We are emplacing explosive charges to blow
it out of the way, but then we will have to launch a replacement bridge.
Killer
nodded in silence, walking up to the parapet facing the courtyard and looking
down to see the Guards' very own engineer squadron already hard at work around
an enormous bridge-laying truck. They were assembling the bridge element that
the launcher-vehicle, thanks to a long boom arm, would then maneuver across the
gap that separated the gatehouse from the ravelin.
They were
also building a modular pylon that they would have to somehow put in place
mid-way, because the gap was too long to be spanned in a single launch. They
needed to emplace a pylon in the water, put the first span of bridge carefully
in place between the gatehouse and the pylon, reverse the launcher truck over
the bridge, and carefully launch a second one to get to the ravelin. The extra
wide gap had been deliberately built in to make sure that no enemy could have a
easy time crossing over just by driving an armoured bridgelayer to the edge of
the waters, but now that defensive feature was an obstacle they too had to
contend with.
“Let me
take a look at the drawbridge; maybe I can fix the problem in a faster way."
Killer proposed, and then he nonchalantly stepped over the parapet and dropped
down into the courtyard below, startling the engineers and the soldiers as he
landed heavily, half-crouching. They stared at him as he straightened, put down
his motorbike and then turned around to examine the enormous, folded
drawbridge.
Engineers
had climbed up on either side of the enormous portal, secured with ropes, and
were laboriously trying to cut off large sections of steel that had been
deformed beyond repair and now kept the bridge from deploying. Sawblades and
thermal lances were hard at work, sending sparkles and fragments of metal
raining down, but the bridge was no closer to opening and a couple of Explosive
Ordnanance Disposal specialists were already preparing explosive charges.
“Let me
deal with it." Killer said, and the engineers looked at him in disbelief for a
moment, but finally obeyed without discussion, quickly sliding down their ropes
and getting out of the way. The colossal male stepped forwards and pushed his
huge hands against the massive bridge, and carefully pushed against it, biceps
bulging explosively as he grunted and smirked at the sudden rain of dust and
debris from above as the deformed, jammed arms of the drawbridge broke through
the wall.
The Guards
assembled behind him could only watch on in awe as the gigantic structure of
steel budged, then groaned loudly as the deformed edges ground their way
through stone and reinforced concrete, finally breaking free. Killer grunted
and grabbed into the bridge now, fingers tearing holes through the steel
surface like it was a thin piece of cloth, and he carefully slowed down what
threatened to be a ruinous fall forwards of the bridge, which was no longer
supported by its broken arms.
The long,
oversized ramp loudly clanged and began to ponderously scissor open as gravity
did its job, and Killer slowly accompanied the descent until the far end of the
drawbridge settled down onto the ravelin. The Guards exploded in loud cheers
and roars of satisfaction, the tanks waiting to cross loudly revving up their
engines as the crews chomped at the bits to charge into battle, but the
engineers near Killer knew that the problems weren't quite solved. The bridge
was disconnected on the island side, with its arms and joints broken, so if the
vehicles started crossing right away it would just slip off its hinges and
crash down into the lake beneath. Military Police was alerted and frantically
signaled the roaring tanks and the eager troops behind to wait, while the chief
engineer walked up to Killer and extended one hand, shaking his head in quiet
awe and saying: “My gods, your highness…! That was incredible! You've saved us
much trouble. We should be able to secure the bridge quickly enough…"
“You'll do
that in a moment; there's a quicker way to get them across first." Killer said,
leaving the engineer stunned. They could only watch on in even greater awe as the
huge male carefully moved to the side, back to the jamb of the portal, and
spread his legs to gain a solid foothold, squatting to hold the bridge up with
his overwhelming physical strength. “Tell them to cross."
“But, your
majesty…" The engineer weekly protested, staring at that incredible display of
might and running calculations in his mind that made his knees weak. A
multitude of tanks and IFVs were waiting to cross, and each MBT weighed 120
tons or more. It was mind boggling to think anyone could sustain that stress
with his bare hands, with the force of his muscles alone. The engineer surveyed
the vertical step caused by Killer having to push his fingers beneath the
bridge: it was no problem for the tanks and IFVs which could negotiate much
higher vertical obstacles than that, but surely, at a minimum, Killer's hands
were going to be squished and the bridge was going to tilt upwards as he lost
his grip, wasn't it…?
Killer gave
him a flat look, however, and the engineer bowed his head and stepped out of
the way, rushing over to the couple of MP who were struggling to hold back the
enthusiasm of the Guards. They too looked shocked at hearing the news, but
after sneaking a look towards Killer, retreated and allowed the first battle
tank to roll forwards. It flew the colors of the Guards from one of the whip
aerials, and a command pennant, and clearly belonged to the commanding officer,
who was leaning out of his hatch, standing at attention as Killer looked up.
“Where is
Griagas…?" Killer idly asked, fully expecting a non satisfactory answer. The
commander of the Guards looked sincerely ashamed on behalf of the man that was
supposed to be their king as he replied: “In one of the bunkers beneath the
palace, I'm afraid. We haven't heard from him in hours."
Killer
snorted in frustration and rolled his eyes, but that was not unexpected. “I
took down one of the RA jammers on the way here. Have communications improved
any…?"
“Oh, so it
was you. Thanks, your highness. They improved a lot, actually! Thanks for
that." The officer replied, before happily pointing at the royal park that was
illuminated almost like it was full day as every last artillery piece of the
Guards Division was lined up and fired in anger. “We are in contact with most
of the battlegroups in the lead, and can finally properly support them all. We
also managed to establish contact with Killer's Battery and with some of the
bases in the rest of the country. We have some air support heading our way."
“Good. The
jammer is in a courtyard down the peninsula. You'll see it, I've dragged it
towards the main street. Make sure it is sent to the rear for examination."
Killer urgently instructed, and the commanding officer of the Guards nodded
without a word. In normal times he would have struggled to believe anyone could
“drag" a huge 8x8 armoured military truck anywhere, but he had seen enough to
know that to the hulking liger the weight of the truck equated at most to that
of a crumble.
“Lieutenant
Felix Russel is leading the counterattack in town. I've ordered a battlegroup
to head for Freedall to put up a screen, and the others are trying to clear the
airport and the factories." Killer continued, while taking a look at the ranks
on the CO's uniform: he was a colonel, so the leader of one regiment of the
Guard, not the whole Division. With the Dragoon Guards' higher ranking officers
missing or killed in action and with Felix having adjusted so well to
commanding a much larger force than just his Squadron, Killer had no
hesitations in adding: “Russel is promoted to Colonel. Please let him know, on
my behalf. You will coordinate with him to continue mopping up the RA troops
left in town."
“Sir, yes
Sir! He will be delighted, Sir." The CO sharply replied, saluting, and then he
leaned forwards on the edge of his hatch, trying to take a look at the step the
tank would have to clear to climb up onto the bridge. The driver also poked his
head out of his own hatch as he carefully maneuvered the tank forwards in baby
steps, crawling slowly forth until the tracks began to touch the lip of the
bridge. The concern on their face showed clearly, how they feared that the
bridge would drop and crush Killer's hands as soon as the enormous vehicle
climbed up, but Killer only snorted in entertainment and urged: “Get a move on,
Colonel. Drive right up. Not to sound arrogant, but I could bench press your
entire regiment without breaking a sweat."
Despite
Killer's best intentions, it did sound arrogant as fuck. But when the tank
lurched forwards and began to climb up the vertical step, pointing skywards for
a moment, Killer smirked and effortlessly held the bridge as steady as a rock.
Literally steadier than it had ever been when fully functional and undamaged.
Colonel and
driver both looked at him with shocked gapes, as the front of the tank heavily
dropped once the vehicle was done climbing up, and Killer winked and pulled one
hand off the bridge to playfully wave at them.
The tank
roared as it speeded away, and it looked almost like the colonel and his crew
were trying to run away from that haunting demonstration of superior,
supernatural strength, from Killer remarking how easy it was. The second tank to come up slowed down and stopped in
front of the bridge, waiting for the first MBT to reach the ravelin and roll
off the ramp, but Killer insistently beckoned for them to go, holding up the
bridge single-handedly. Shocked and emasculated by that display of power, the
crew pressed on, and Killer urged the other tanks to follow without hesitation.
They rolled up onto the bridge at speed, one after the other, and even when
five tanks were rolling onto the bridge at once, Killer's huge arm didn't even
twitch, that enormous bicep barely flexed, mocking them with its omnipotence.
Thankfully,
the second drawbridge, the one going from the ravelin to the tip of the
peninsula, deployed without issues, and the Guards pushed right through,
driving into town and towards the areas where the battle still raged on.
The crews
poked their heads out of their hatches to sneak shocked gazes in Killer's
direction and the soldiers on the IFVs leaned out of their ports to stare at
him in awe as the long convoy rolled past him, and they all ran shocked
calculations in their minds. A thousand tons between the bridge and the
vehicles simultaneously rolling down its length. Dozens of soldiers inside the
tanks and IFVs. Hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Thousands upon thousands of
liters of fuel. And on the other side, a God
who laughed of it all, effortlessly holding the bridge up and steady with just
one hand. One hand! One finger, probably,
if balance wasn't an issue. It looked so easy for that colossus. So laughable.
It was a
soul-crushing power to witness, especially for proud warriors that considered
themselves elite fighters and now discovered that their training, their skills
and even their vehicles and weapons were thoroughly overmatched by the crushing
physical supremacy of that living god. Every tale they had heard suddenly made
sense; everything they had dismissed as exaggeration and myth became very real
and undeniable.
It was very
much a mixed bag of sensations: on one side, it made them feel like bugs, like their
convoy of well over a hundred between tanks and IFVs was nothing more than a
procession of ants crawling before a hulking goliath who could, in any moment,
crush it out of existence. On the other hand, it cancelled out their fear of
the RA and their superior firepower and advanced machinery: Killer was on their
side, so what could possibly scare them? Whatever the RA fielded could not
possibly stand up to that god of war.
Killer, on
his part, was confident that the little demonstration of his strength would
dissolve any doubt that might still exist among the troops about the
opportunity of following him. If anyone had had any doubts about the
opportunity of addressing him as King even while Griagas still lived and
formally occupied the throne, now those doubts were well and truly shattered.
Killer was confident that his new troops would show themselves very, very loyal
to him after getting that hint of his power.
It took
several long minutes for the convoy to roll past, and several more for the
engineers to secure the bridge into position, welding provisional but sturdy
hinges and supporting frames that would allow follow-on movements without
Killer having to stay there all night. Yet, the hulking male's bulging muscles
didn't strain one bit. Not a drop of sweat rolled down his massive frame, and
the engineers were stunned to see the huge male yawn in boredom; apparently the
only downside of having to hold up that monstrous amount of weight for that
long.
When the
bridge was finally declared safe, and a first group of fuel tankers and trucks
carrying ammunitions began to cross, Killer left, thanked profusely by the
engineers. He climbed once more on his motorbike, and made his way deeper into
the island-fortress. Many things had changed from the last time he had been
there, and many more fortified buildings and bunkerized depots and garages had
been built on either side of the main road, but finding his way wasn't
difficult. The road curved to the north-west and proceeded all the way across
the island, up to the northern gate and ravelin at the other end of the
fortress. It was like driving in a canyon, because the road snaked its way
between the outer walls and bastions to one side, and the second, inner curtain
of walls and towers which surrounded the entire royal park. Fortified barracks,
depots and garages for the tanks of the Guard Cavalry regiments had been built
or expanded at the base of the walls, on either side of the street, to house
what was clearly a greatly enlarged Division.
Killer
drove through multiple intermediate checkpoints and gatehouses without
encountering any trouble: with no RA presence in the area, there was no one who
had any desire to keep him from digging Griagas out of his hiding hole. Within
moments he was curving to the right to pass through the monumental gates
leading into the royal park, and as he launched the motorbike at max speed up
the long driveway leading to the castle, he saw the artillery batteries of the
Guard blasting off barrage after barrage. Towed howitzers had been dragged out
of the garages and scattered throughout the park, seeking cover between the
ancient, immense trees, and soldiers labored around each piece, the loaders
running back and forth from tactical trucks loaded with ammunition, coming
straight from the underground depots.
The spent
shells were already forming hills of smoldering brass as the gunners hammered
the RA troops, and empty crates and pallets were unceremoniously thrown out of
the way to make room for new ammunition, which several soldiers were busy
fuzing for use.
Even more
impressive were the massive self-propelled howitzers, with their tank hulls and
their larger, blocky towers ending in those long barrels pointing skywards.
Clouds of dust were shaken loose from the huge vehicles whenever the recoil
made them bounce visibly on their suspensions, and the huge barrels of the
howitzers changed their inclination after each shot as the guns blasted out
6-rounds “Multiple Rounds, Simultaneous Impact" salvos. By adjusting the
trajectory, up to six shells fired in succession could crash down on the target
almost exactly in the same moment, ensuring maximum damage was inflicted before
the enemy could even begin to scatter and seek cover.
The gunners
cheered as he roared past their positions, and Killer rose a huge arm to salute
them all as aimed straight for the castle. He kind of regretted not asking the
commander of the Guards for better instructions about the internal layout of
the fortress and indications about the extensive labyrinth of underground
chambers, depots and bunkers where Griagas had sought refuge, but he told
himself he would figure something out once he was inside.
He was
pleased to see that Griagas had funded a great expansion project, probably
using the gold the RA had covered him with. There was a whole new residential
wing facing east, that had not been there in the days of the war against Dark.
In fact, the castle had been a lot more Spartan in those times, because it had
not been intended as a royal palace but purely as a formidable fortress.
Griagas had radically changed that, and the great arched windows, terraces,
statues and decorations now symbolized all of his ambitions and his very high
opinion of himself.
There was a
great deal of gigantism in the project, with the great arches pushing skywards,
ceilings heightened, windows enlarged to gain a great visual over the park, and
Killer couldn't help but smirk: it was very nice of his predecessor to have
enlarged the rooms to properly fit his godlike frame.
The two
Guards flanking the main entrance threw the monumental door wide open for him and
bowed deeply as he dismounted from his motorbike and easily climbed the marble
staircase, but they could not provide him with any precise information about
Griagas's whereabouts. The king had grabbed his queen and had descended into
the safe rooms deep beneath the castle without informing anyone of which bunker
he would seek refuge into, and there was quite an extensive network of tunnels
and chambers down there. Killer was not looking ahead to a night of playing
hide and seek with a coward, so he decided to “visit" the new eastern wing of
the palace instead, since the Guards confirmed his suspicion: the new
apartments were an expansion of the royal harem. On one thing at least, Killer
found common ground with his enemy.
After
leaving the Guards behind, Killer walked along a corridor decorated by statues
and frescos on the walls, which all had common themes: sensuality, sexuality,
and fertility. He reached a golden, elaborated gate that was the true entrance
to the harem wing of the royal residence, but the two bulky, muscular guardians
made no attempt to deny him access. They opened the gate for him and quickly
scampered out of the way when Killer walked up to them, bowing deeply as he
went right past. The huge male finally emerged in a beautiful cloister surrounding
a long, secluded rectangular garden with an artificial lake in the middle and
great weeping willows and small forests of luscious flowers and plants.
Every
apartment facing out over that serene, private garden was full of concubines
and wives of the king, the “Forbidden Ones", females selected for their beauty
and fertility and talents and reserved for the king's pleasures and for his
superior genetics.
The lights
were still all turned off, and none of the girls were out in the garden or even
enjoying the night breeze out along the cloister, despite it being relatively
warm and fully enjoyable still. It was more than understandable, with fighter
bombers roaring in the sky and dropping bombs on the bastions, and with the
ceaseless thundering of artillery and the distant crackling of firefights all
over town.
Had Griagas
not been a patented, selfish asshole, the girls should all have been gone into
the safe underground shelters beneath the palace, instead they all appeared to
be in their rooms, all of them awake. Killer could hear their chatting and
whispering from several open windows and doors shielded only by tents that
fluttered gently in the breeze.
He turned
the corner and approached the first of those doors, walking right past the open
window and making no attempt to conceal himself. The chatting inside
immediately ceased, but thankfully there was no screaming, no panic, and no
appeal for help from the Harem guards. He stopped briefly at the light,
semi-transparent tent at the door, and heard little gasps inside as the girls
saw his enormous frame through the silk, his hulking body standing out in all
its grandiosity. He lightly knocked on the jamb with the back of a finger, and
asked in a playful, gentle tone: “May I, miladies…?"
Excited,
amused voices from the other side of the tent invited him right in, and he
could hear, and guess, movement in the nearby rooms as other concubines quickly
sneaked to their windows and doors to gaze at the huge male who they could
already clearly feel in the air, in the ground, in their very ribcages. His
steps were silent, yet sent vibrations through the ground as if the earth
itself was both excited and afraid. His sweaty scent was rich, powerful,
virile: it spoke of power, masculinity, dominance and triumph. His deep voice
meant that even his gentle whisper rattled them all deep in their ribcages.
Killer
ducked slightly to fit the arched door frame, and he smirked as he emerged into
a great, comfortable bedroom-apartment with four beds. As many beautiful
tigresses, wearing only skimpy bikinis and jewels, looked up at him with eyes
blazing with curiosity, excitement and awe, their gazes traveling up and down
his hulking, immense form. One of them was sitting in front of a mirror, a
brush in one hand, her long crimson hair going down past her shoulders, almost
to the middle of her toned, faintly muscular back. She had stunning emerald
eyes and two of the largest breasts Killer had seen, those glorious, firm
swells bulging out of the black bikini top that struggled to contain them. They
were currently extra-swollen, admittedly, because she was clearly lactating,
and her belly was bulging outwards with a pregnancy that was visibly close to
delivery. Apart from thick golden bracelets and multiple necklaces and chains
of gold that fell down over her usually toned abdomen, the tigress was also
wearing a few punk accessories, including thick laces of black leather studded
with steel spikes. Her long, strong legs were clad in stockings riddled with
holes and tears, but connected by garters to straps of dark leather tightly
clamped around her thighs.
Another
tigress, almost flat-chested yet incredibly attractive all the same due to how
her slender, beautifully shaped body had been sculpted and trained into firm
perfection in the gym, looked up from where she was sitting on her bed, idly
curling a large dumbbell. Her hair were a beautiful auburn shade that well
complemented her orange and black striped hide. A third concubine had been
laying down in her bed, reading a book, and as she looked up at him she now
shamelessly licked her lips, even as her cheeks took on a shade of crimson. The
last tigress had been crouching between the beds of the other two, chatting,
and now she stared at Killer with wide-open eyes, mouthing silent words of
shock at his sheer magnificence.
The redhead
punk tigress proved she was the boldest of the group as she turned around and sensually crossed her
legs, leaning back in her seat and rubbing a hand down her pregnant, bulging
belly with a lurid intent that her eyes didn't even try to conceal. She licked
her lips shamelessly as she studied the hulking mass of muscles and virile
power that composed Killer, and finally exclaimed: “Holy fuck, stud…! I thought
those idiots were making things up and exaggerating to make their defeat look
less humiliating… but fucking hell!
When they said a God was coming, they
meant it!"
She was
clearly talking about the messengers that Killer had sent out from Freedall to
warn the capital of his coming, and let king Griagas know that he had been
challenged. Unfortunately, Griagas's reaction had gone very much against the
Code and against Tradition, but it sounded like the news had spread like
wildfire all the same, and his arrival was very much expected.
“Welcome to
Kendrew, Lord Killer Huxley! Our new king!" The “sport" beauty cheerfully said,
and the other concubines joined in with their own cheers, while many of the
other girls silently sneaked out of their rooms and began to crowd both levels
of the cloister, trying to get into a position from where they would get a good
look at least at his broad backside.
“The whole
castle is talking about you. We've been hearing the most amazing tales since
yesterday, and you became stronger and bigger with each version of the story."
The redhead explained, teasingly smiling up at him while running the brush
through the last few rebellious bangs of her long red mane.
“I hope you
are not disappointed." Killer playfully replied, spreading his arms slightly to
let them have a good look at how his powerful muscles flexed and bulged with
power, and the redhead licked her lips again, eyes flashing as she purred out:
“Not at all…! I could feast my eyes on you for days."
“Now I know
why those dumbasses are trembling like leaves and crying non-stop. If I was a
boy and I saw you, I'd be crying too! And asking myself what the fuck I'm
supposed to do when you walking on the same planet." The concubine with the
book said, giving him an eloquent look, and “sport" pulled up her huge
dumbbell, bicep flexing and bulging into a rock-hard hill of strength as she
almost drooled at the sight of him, staring at his arms with what could only be
described as pure wonder. “Most males have trouble lifting my weights, but I
bet this dumbbell is less than a feather to you, isn't it…"
“Look, I
don't want to offend you, but…" Killer began, smirking and shrugging a bit, but
the muscular female only smiled wider, tossing the huge lump of steel his way
and grinning as he caught it like he was crushing a gnat between index and
thumb. “No offence taken. I find it _hot
as fuck_." The young concubine easily and shamelessly replied, giving him a
wink, and the huge male couldn't help but let out a playful rumble of approval.
“So, you
all know me, but I don't know your names yet." Killer noted, and the redhead
beauty was the first to reply, idly rubbing at her pregnant belly while looking
up at him with expectant, lustful eyes. “My name is Electra, your Highness."
“Jen, for
Jennifer, my king." Sports added, standing up from her bed. He could easily
tell that she was the taller of the four, and despite the small size of her
breasts she had a shape that was just fire. Her superbly trained legs looked
endless, and her ass made up for what she missed at the front. She clearly knew
she struck a formidable figure, and her little smirk signaled how much she
liked seeing him interested and… bothered.
The other
two tigresses, Veronica and Vivian, hurriedly head for the table and cleaned it
of everything they had left there from the dinner of the evening before, which
had been interrupted by the alarm sirens and by the sudden thundering of
explosions and firefights in town, and they invited Killer to join them for a
drink.
Electra,
however, couldn't help but tease the hulking male as he walked past her, eyes
blazing with lust as she teasingly asked: “Is that body really… real… ? All of
it?"
“Why don't you
find out…?" Killer easily replied, giving her a smirk, and the tigress actually
grinned in delight at that and eagerly pushed up to her feet, even though her
heavy belly made her movements a bit unsteady. She reached into a nice cabinet
of stained glass and hardwood and dug out a large bottle of liquor and the
small glasses for its consume… before thinking about it for a moment and
picking a large beer glass for the enormous male. “Come right in, stud. Be
wary: I only believe to what I can touch."
“That's
wise." Killer agreed, with an exaggerated nod of approval. “I'll let you touch
to your heart's desire."
Jen gently
wrapped her hands around his wrist and guided him towards her bed, realizing
that chairs wouldn't really fit him that well. Vivian and Veronica easily moved
the table closer to the bed, while shooting a bit of a glare at their muscular
friend as her hands impatiently wandered upwards along the goliath's almighty
arm, not waiting for them to work up enough courage to touch that living god.
He was
covered in blood and battle filth from head to toe, his mane thick and sticky
and falling in bloodied bangs, his white and black-striped hide almost entirely
dyed red, but without any hesitation Jen had him sitting down on her sheets as
she sits at his side, leaning into him, fingers dreamily tracing the thick
veins visible in his muscular, powerful arm. “How is the battle going…? We
heard rumors about the RA being on the run, and as soon as mobile phones began
to work again, we got messages saying the Guards were finally driving out of
the island because you held up the bridge for them. Single-handedly." Jen
curiously said, looking up at him expectantly and almost hugging his enormous
arm against her chest, and Killer flexed slightly, letting her feel the huge
muscles bulging and shifting beneath her eager fingers. “The RA is not yet
quite as on the run as I'd like them to be, but they are pulling out of town.
As for the bridge, that part is true."
“Holy
shit…" Jen breathed out, nuzzling his enormous bicep and taking a tiny,
reverent lick at the battle sweat visible over the enormous muscle, shuddering
in delight at his masculine taste. “You are so strong… so truly, fuckin'
strong…"
“I think
it's the first time ever that I can't blame our “king" Griagas for something."
Electra reinforced, putting the glasses down on the table and filling Killer's
one first. “I can't blame him for hiding in a deep hole rather than fighting
you. Fuck, I'd want to hide too."
“Do you
know where he might be? I remember that the network of underground refuges and
depots and tunnels here is a labyrinth, and I don't want to spend hours hunting
him down, following the stench of fear to get to him." The huge male quietly
asked, but the concubines could only shrug and shaked their heads with
apologetic expressions.
“We have no
idea. He left no instructions and certainly didn't want to be found easily. He
just… ran." Jen said, curling against his side, clutching his enormous arm
dreamily as her hands massaged over steel-hard, bulging muscle. Killer made a
bit of a grimace at that, but he couldn't say he was surprised. He picked up
the large beer glass filled with liquor, and Electra immediately clicked her
far smaller glass against it, launching a toast: “To our new king! A glorious
king!"
“Long live
the king!" Jen and the others cheerfully said, joining in the toast, and many
more voices added themselves in as other concubines entered the room or poked
their heads in from the window and door. Jen pouted a bit and pushed even closer
to Killer, clearly unwilling to share him with the rest of the audience, and
Electra also looked flatly at the girls walking in uninvited, but they knew
they couldn't really shut the rest of the harem out.
“I'm so
terribly envious of Athena and Joy. Not only they managed to sneak out of the
castle, but they found you right away… and had the chance to get fucked into
coma by you without having to share." Electra remarked, and Killer couldn't
help but smirk in entertainment, half-turning around from his position at the
end of the bed so he could watch as the room became crowded with smiling,
excited tigresses. Their bodies were almost naked, toned and well cared,
covered in light sheens of oils and balsams that mixed the perfume of a
thousand different flowers to their natural scent and to the fragrance of their
excitement and desire. There were athletes like Jen and Electra and tigresses
with another, softer kind of thickness about their forms, there were small and
huge breasts, pregnant bellies and chiseled abdomens, and every kind of beauty
and allure in between, and Killer's eyes glowed with interest as they all
walked up to him: anxious, curious,
eager.
“Athena and
Joy always knew their stuff… but I see that luck has been very generous to
them, leading them right on your path." Another of the beautiful females
commented, and Killer smiled softly, thinking about it for a brief moment and
then admitting, to himself more than to them: “I think luck was generous to me,
as well, leading me to them. It was… the nudge I needed to finally take the
right direction."
He was
starting to really believe he had taken the right path, finally, after years of
hedonistic, selfish and monstrous excess, and he thought it wasn't just because
of all the loving, reverent hands that reached out to touch his broad back, his
shoulders, his arms. It wasn't because of the beautiful females that kept
squeezing into the room, surrounding the table, climbing up on the beds,
squeezing into every corner. It was because of the bitter struggle in the
factory and along the town's streets: for the first time in years he felt he
had a worthy purpose, a mission to complete, people who needed his help and not
just a moment of his attention and a chance to worship his body and strength. This
kingdom needed to be freed from a vicious invader force with no humanity, and
its people craved for a leader who could protect them and guide them to
greatness.
And in
securing Kendrew, he knew he was making his father's kingdom secure as well, at
least on the southern flank. In beating the RA back, he felt he was securing
the future of all of the Northlands. The task ahead of him was daunting, but
having a purpose was making him feel a lot better about himself.
Electra
grumbled a bit under her breath, and gulped down another shot of liquor while
glaring a bit at the veritable crowd of concubines who had completely fitted up
the room, and then she slammed the empty glass on the table and stood up,
saying briskly: “Ok bitches, now get your hormones under control for a moment
and move back. We can't all fit in
here!" She paused, then looked at Killer with a smirk, eyebrows moving
suggestively as she dragged the tip of her index down the hulking male's thick
chest, picking up battle filth and blood. “With your permission, my king, I
would like to show you the room of games and the baths. There's enough space in
there so everyone can admire you and worship you like you deserve. Everyone in
here would kill for the chance to touch such a god of power and fertility…."
Killer let
out a little rumble of amusement and approval at her proposal, and Jen leaned
forwards to kiss his enormous bicep, slowly dragging her tongue upwards along
the massive muscle, tracing the length of the tube-like vein that pulsed as it
pumped seemingly pure power into his arm. The muscular female purred and looked
up at him with blazing, suggestive eyes, one hand shamelessly stroking over his
powerful chest as she breathed out: “Since Griagas is cowering away in some
hole or another while you've had to smash your way through an army to get here,
we can at least clean you up and prepare you for your triumph."
“That
sounds like you are just rouging up a request to see me naked…" Killer
teasingly replied, spreading his legs a bit wider as Jen, Electra and several
other daring females hissed in bliss and let their hands slid down his mighty
abs all the way to the enormous, barely contained bulge in his pants, their
fingers gripping into that firm, unyielding girth as their mouths gaped in awe,
cheeks reddening in shock, fear and complete delight as they explored that
endless member across the stretched, worn-out fabric of his black pants. “You
don't need any elaborate excuse: I'm all too glad to let you see… and touch…
and measure."
“I bet you
do!" Jen breathed out, both hands gripping into that phenomenal bulge and
moving down, handspan by handspan, searching down his leg to find the head of
the gargantuan member. “Holy shit, you make the gods cry….!"
“And I used
to think the Icons of Fertility in the temple had big dicks…!" Electra
commented, hands stroking up and down that lurid bulge as her eyes almost
glowed in the dark with her lust, as she naughtily referenced the idealized
statues and drawings of the embodiments of Fertility in their religion: males
with huge, oversized cocks and heavy, low-hanging balls and females swollen
with enormous pregnancies. Killer smirked at that, and nodded as he reached
down to undo his belt and the fly of his pants, helped by dozens of hands that
reached around his thick waist to tug down his clothes, to brush over his own
hands, to scratch into his thick, curly pubes, to reverently touch that monstrous
black member, or even just to feel the incredible heat coming from his
hypervirility. He stood up from the bed and smirked, letting them complete the
job for him as he lazily hefted his arms up, behind his head, looking
indulgently down at them as they gasped in shock and awe at the endless
unveiling of more and more godcock.
“I was 7
when I entered the temple of Alcana the first time…" Killer recalled, grinning
down at the shocked, adoring faces that looked up at him, awestruck and
disbelieving. “And I recall how laughable the Icon of Fertility looked. Such
small dick, such tiny balls..." He continued, stepping out of his pants and
underwear and spreading his powerful legs to let his hypervirility breathe, an
almost visible fog of sweaty, hypermasculine musk rolling over the drooling
concubines as his clothes were removed. He lazily gripped the skulls of two of
the many females kneeling before him, fingers playing idly with their hair, and
he smirked as the already monstrous length of godcock visibly swelled and
dropped even further, that brutal length seeming to unfurl as if out of a
pocket dimension, his already impossible member growing longer and fatter
without the constant compression of the clothes. In a moment, his glorious,
still entirely flaccid godcock was almost plowing the ground, the brutal flare
just inches off the floor, while his colossal testicles visibly engorged even
further and audibly dropped lower
down between his legs, hanging at the end of a sack of flesh which, alone,
seemed to have the thickness and weight of a million males summed together. “I
remember pulling out my cock and slamming it down on the altar, so the
priestesses had something more worthy of worship." Killer recalled, and his
unrivalled godcock flexed, jumping up in a display of pure, excessive vigor,
veins pulsing and incredible girth moving with the ponderous majesty of a draft
horse rearing up. Except his flaccid cock weighted even more.
“Lucky
bitches…!" Electra commented, snorting in amusement and delight, hands
squeezing on her pregnant belly with expectation and with a hint of cruelty as
she let her eyes travel down that monstrous member, which was deliciously
sweaty and filthy with dark, dense cockssludge, the excessive produce of his
restless hypervirility. “I'm sorry for all the sweat and grime… Athena and Joy
had done a lovely job cleaning me up, but between the battle and my productivity…" Killer teasingly
apologized, his eyes half-lidded, relaxed under all the attention from the concubines,
slaves and wives clustered around him. He rested his hands carelessly,
immodestly over their heads as they fought for the chance to get closer to that
glorious thing, to loudly sniff up his hypermasculine reek as that monstrous member
hung literally to the floor, thick and veiny, resting over a pair of testicles
like boulders that were so immense they also nearly touched the ground.
“We will
happily clean you up as many times you need and desire…" Eager, dreamy voices
promised, while hands and breasts and tongues reached for the hulking girth,
several concubines dropping to their knees and then flattening themselves on
the floor to admire the huge, fat, brutal flare and the thickly-foreskinned
cockhead, gaping in ecstatic awe at the sight of the vast, yawning cockmaw and
the way the cold marble floor fogged up with the sheer heat radiating from the
twitching member. Hands tremblingly, reverently gripped his astounding girth,
stroking dreamily up and down small fractions of that overwhelming length as
the concubines watched on in delight at the plentiful masculine lube-essence
that stained the mighty shaft and that stank of testosterone and male
supremacy. No matter their experience, the Forbidden Ones ended up shaking in
front of that unprecedented virility, their nostrils flaring as they greedily
drank of his musk. Even the toughest females, such as muscular Jen and daring
Electra were left giggling and sweating, drooling from both mouths as they
fought for the chance to get closer to him and touch his superior body.
“Lead me to the baths, then." Killer had to playfully remark, waking the
concubines from the ecstatic stupor caused by his scent and his glorious
presence. They blushed in shock, realizing that they had completely forgotten
about all that, but Electra and Jen were swift to get up, all the same, and
pushed their comrade concubines out of the way, even though the giggling
tigresses were reluctant to move more than a few steps away from that living,
walking god. Killer had to be careful in stepping forwards because as soon as
he pulled up one foot, a trio of concubines greedily curled up on the floor
beneath him, licking at his dirty boot, tasting the blood and the ruin of the
enemies he had stomped out of existence.
He rumbled
in entertainment at that, each step welcomed by mouths kissing and licking and
polishing his heavy boots while his monstrous godcock smacked into bodies and
hands and faces, bowling tigresses over like toys. Killer had to leisurely slid
a hand beneath his enormous cock and heft that flaccid monstrosity so that it
didn't squish the overeager females like grapes under its calamitous weight,
and it didn't rip a trench in the marble floor. Countless hands touched,
stroked, brushed, gripped, tugged at his immense leviathan of meat, which only
flexed slightly, lazily acknowledging that worship as if it was mundane, due
and expected… and gods, for Killer, it really was all of those things.
The harem
followed in his wake, the tigresses seemingly shuddering in time with the
thunderous clapping of meat versus meat as his monumental black shaft dangled
heavily between his muscular legs and slapped heavily into his muscular thighs
with every step he moved.
Adoring
concubines attempted to heft up his mammoth testicles as if to make it easier
for him to haul around that prodigious masculinity. His mega-balls hung low and
ponderous, throbbing with power as their masculine reek made the air
incandescent and as thick as steak, overpowering enough to command the complete
submission of men and women alike.
As Electra
led him down the length of the cloister, towards a great porch that led
directly into the luxurious steam baths, Killer spotted a multitude of security
cameras with blinking red dots, and saw how they obsessively followed him. He
idly gave them the finger, smirking at the thought that Griagas himself was
probably staring at him through a screen in his hiding hole.
The liger's
monstrous black member pulsed powerfully, flaunting its unrivalled superiority,
basking in the powerless attention of whoever was controlling the cameras.
Electra noticed it, and purred in delight as she reached over to grip his
brutal girth in both hands, rubbing them up and down the flanks of the
impossibly powerful member and hissing in bliss at how her singers became
saturated and glued together by the thick, rich mixture of his hypervirile
sweat and precum. “You like making puny boys cry, don't you…?" The tigress
sensually teased, grinning up at him and licking her lips as she pulled one
hand back only to lean forwards and catch with her mouth the long, thick
strings and ropes of black cocksludge that kept her digits tied to his glorious
member. “Yes, I can imagine how many poor boys have turned into sissies and
faggots after taking a look at this monster of a cock…" The tigress insisted,
purring as she pushed her heavily pregnant belly against the gargantuan godcock
and slowly ground against it, up and down, then side to side, half-stepping
forwards so the unforgiving, brutal weight of the black member caused her
swollen belly to cave inwards… and Killer could clearly feel the panicked
movements of the life growing within her, as those little unborn sons and
daughters of Griagas vainly tried to escape from the weight, the brutal mass
and the terrible heat of that colossal cock. “Our coward-in-chief is looking.
He is always looking with his goddamned cameras everywhere. He looks more than
he acts… so he might even like watching you fuck this trash out of me."
Killer
rumbled in dark pleasure at that, idly reaching down to scratch and stroke
through his thick pubes, pressing down on the top of that massive, fat cock as
it twitched and swelled, growing even more terrifyingly massive. The tigresses
around him shuddered and sighed out, clustering all around him and deliberately
brushing into his legs, reaching out to touch his enormous member, the back of
his balls, to kiss his quads, to lick beneath his heavy tail, nuzzling towards
his asshole. They shivered in bliss at the way he so leisurely dominated them
all, in full control of both himself and them. Unlike Griagas, who had wanted
to expand his harem for reasons of prestige but couldn't keep up with it at
all, so that many of the girls felt… shamelessly neglected… Killer was
supremely confident and clearly able, willing and eager to make use of everyone
of them… and then some. The weight and heat of his mere presence, the sheer
power his voice and attitude exuded, made being close to him a thrilling,
memorable experience, even disregarding how he towered, massive and utterly
overpowered.
The steam
baths were right at the far end of the cloister, where another deep pool fed
into another, smaller one, containing hot water. A wonderful steam room was
located further beyond: it was a forest of thin red marble columns and statues
of bodies tangled in intense scenes of combat or sex, and there were rows of
large wooden beds where to enjoy a slow, steamy bath and the attention of
concubines specifically trained in providing the best possible massages and
care.
Even in
that moment of the night, the fires were burning and the room full of hot,
perfumed fog as green branches were fed over the bracers. Wonderful, sweaty
tigresses wearing only tunics wrapped loosely around their chests and waists
stepped forth to meet Killer, ready to massage his sore muscles and work the stress
of battle right out of him, and they welcomed him like they had never had
another king before him. They led him to the largest of the wooden beds,
apologizing for how it still was pretty ridiculously small for his titanic
sizes. He was a bit worried it would collapse under his weight, but he didn't
want to disappoint the eager concubines and, admittedly, he greatly looked
forwards to the pleasures of steam, loving tongues and expert hands.
He
carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, and allowed the concubines to undo
the straps of his heavy, armoured boots and help him out of them. He discarded
what little remained of his tattered, devastated clothes torn apart by
shrapnel, bullets and explosive shockwaves that had shredded everything, and he
closed his eyes for a moment, rolling his enormous, powerful shoulders and
flexing his almighty musculature. Pieces of metal clanged on the floor at that,
as the last bits of shrapnel that had managed to tear into him were pushed out
by his bulging muscles, spat away almost with contempt as all of his wounds
visibly sealed up and healed at an incredible rate. Within moments, the efforts
of the RA's army and the long bombardment of their artillery, which had cost
them hundreds upon hundreds of shells, would have been entirely undone, leaving
behind almost no sign at all.
That idle
demonstration of power elicited a shiver from the assembled harem, but the
light sheen of sweat developing over his glorious, bulging musculature was what
kept everyone staring at him, as well as his utterly colossal black cock, that
tremendous, hanging leviathan of male-meat, and Killer clearly enjoyed the
attention, including that of the cameras in the corner of the room. He smiled
indulgently at the helpless, almost-drooling concubines who clustered around
him, unable to stop themselves from reaching in to touch his prodigious member,
to stroke it, to look over it with awe and wonder, all of them able to get at least a hand on
that monster, if not an arm, or a chance to grind their entire bodies against
it with how much cock the giant male hauled around.
The sturdy
wooden bed wobbled visibly under the colossus, and Killer smirked in
entertainment at the open space roughly at waist level. Jen caught his
amusement and grinned, flexing her muscular arms as she commented: “You are
going to need a larger hole, my king…" The muscular female smirked as she
gripped into the thick wood staves and easily snapped them apart, yanking
several of them out of the way, enlarging the hole in the middle of the bed.
Killer watched her work, licking his lips slowly at the sight of her sizeable
biceps bulging, at the muscles in her arms and shoulders flexing so deliciously
under a developing sheen of sweat, and he leisurely stroked his immensity at
the same time, oblivious to the stunning glut of dark, hyperpotent precum that
was already leaking out of his member and puddling on the floor.
He noticed
the shock and the awe in the eyes of Electra, however, and he grinned as he
seized his hulking apocalypse of a cock in his hands and hefted that
monstrosity up, pumping it slowly, careful not to slap some of the nearest
concubines out of existence with it. He allowed them to grind their hot, eager,
sweaty bodies into his immense, sweaty, musky balls, letting them sneak beneath
his hulking cock. It utterly dwarfed them as he spread his muscular legs and
seized his titanic shaft in both hands, laughing as he stroked his member with
lazy intent, letting those drooling sluts cower under a growing, swelling,
endless rope of black essence that swarmed with utterly monstrous waste-sperms,
their muscular tails tangled tightly together as they wrestled their way out,
racing for first place as the hulking titan scooped huge handfuls of that
impossibly thick and omnipotent sweat and cocksludge, deliberately showering
his concubines in his hypervirile filth. He smirked as he rubbed his hand,
saturated in his dark, powerful essence down backs that arched and trembled for
him, over faces that flushed with need and desire, over hair that became sticky
with potent precum and cockslime, and he smiled indulgently as the concubines
moaned and breathed out hard, opening their mouths, stretching out their
tongues, shoving at each other for a chance to lick between his thick fingers,
or to polish his claws.
Gentle
hands cupped his heels and wrapped around his thick ankles, and he sat back
with a low sigh of pleasure as he pulled up his feet, eyes slipping closed as
warm, loving tongues moved over his thick toes, lapped between them, as mouths
carefully wrapped around his deadly talons, suckling them clean and polished,
while gentle lips planted kisses on the thick, rough black pads of his feet.
Bodies
shifted and ground sensually together and against his legs, features grinding
against his calves and his bulging leg muscles as the tigresses took turns
licking dust, battle grime and blood off his hide, carefully kissing along
every inch of wounds that were already sealing back and almost vanishing from
sight.
“We are
glad to see how little of this blood is actually yours…" Electra playfully
whispered as she climbed up on the wooden bed, taking position behind him and
allowing him to lean back comfortably, his head resting between her great
breasts, his powerful back pushing down on her huge pregnant belly, causing the
doomed life inside her to twitch and kick and trash in a panic that only had
the tigress smirking in cruel amusement.
“How many
puny RA fuckers did you stomp into
the ground like bugs…?" Jen excitedly
wondered, not really expecting anyone to be able to provide a number, instead
smiling as the huge male let out a soft breath of pleasure and appreciation as
she quietly kissed down his chiseled abs, tongue licking up sweat and blood and
dirt from the deep valleys of power between his bulging muscles, as her fingers
scratched into the thick forest of steel-like pubes on his crotch and up to his
navel, playfully yanking and tugging as she almost tried to comb the rebellious
hair. Veronica nuzzled his neck tenderly, and then kissed her way down his
enormous shoulder, wondering in front of those colossal cords of powerful
muscle before she half-sneaked, half-pushed her way under his enormous arm,
greedily, loudly drinking of his hypermasculine reek as she kissed her way up
his almighty obliques until she could bury her muzzle directly into the thick
hair in his armpit.
“We are
thankful for your arrival, my glorious king." Electra gently said, very
seriously, even as she breathed her words out in a pause between long, eager
licks up his thick, muscular neck. She pulled back a little and her hands slid
up to dig into his mane, beginning to scrape gently against his scalp, working
through bangs of thick hair made sticky by blood and sweat, and the huge male
let out a soft, content breath of his own, relaxing under the ministrations of
the concubines, in the middle of the moaning and breathing and moving of dozens
of eager, hot female bodies wet with sweat and with desire that he could
clearly smell like a perfume in the air, a fragrance more intense and more
delightful than the scents of wood and flowers coming from the bracers.
“Nobody
else had the strength to put a stop to the RA's arrogance. Their infernal
machinery scared away all other contenders." Electra said, and some of the
concubines half-glared at her, as if to silence her, as if fearing that Killer
might still reconsider and leave. The huge male caught those looks with a eye
lazily half-open, and smirked in entertainment, reaching up to squeeze the
breasts of the closest of those tigresses, saying calmly: “Don't fret, girls.
Tell me the truth as it is. I'm not walking away from a challenge I've issued.
Whatever the RA might throw at me, I'll just crush it and move on."
Electra
smiled widely at that, tossing a triumphant look at the other concubines,
feeling fully vindicated, and she quietly added: “There's not much else we can
add. RA soldiers only rape on command, to punish. None of them seems to have
any emotion otherwise. No desires, no needs, no weakness we could exploit. They
never gave us any hint about who they are, or where they come from."
“Normally
it would be easy to seduce one soldier or another, and learn all kinds of
useful information simply by having them talk of home, perhaps of their
families… but the RA brutes? They have the same physical drives of a teaspoon."
Jen distastefully added, before flushing a bit as she realized that what she
had just said sounded, in some ways, like a jab aimed at Killer himself, who
hadn't exactly put up a fight against their seduction.
“No offence
taken. I know the rules of the game, and I've been playing it for long enough."
Killer reassured, smiling softly and winking at her, before playfully
concluding: “Besides… you haven't asked
me much of anything." Obviously, they didn't need to. There wasn't a single
soul in the Northlands who didn't know the Huxley bloodline and hadn't heard
tales about prince Killer. Whether people had seen with their own eyes and
believed the tales or chose to think that some of the feats of strength in them
were fantasies and wild exaggerations was another matter, but his name was
universally synonymous with prodigious strength and virility.
There was
much he could have said about the RA brutes, or even the guys he had found
permanently hooked into the computers on board the mobile jamming station. Had
they ever been “true" persons, or had they always been mindless ghouls, used as
particularly advanced sentient chips inside a machine…? There were horrible
implications either way: if they had been beings with thoughts and sentiments,
the RA had somehow brainwashed them completely. If they had never been their
own persons, how had they even come to light…? Was the RA able to serially
produce and grow unthinking cannon-fodder…?
There were
a million comments to be made, many of which would add very little. He decided
to stay silent instead, and listen, in the hope that, somehow, someone might
have any helpful hint of information to relay. Consciously or not, perhaps some
of the RA “zombies" had given away some kind of information. Something.
Anything…
“There was
only a relatively small contingent at first. Extremely well armed, but it was
like a reinforced personal Guard for Griagas. I guess we all underestimated the
danger, beginning with Griagas himself." Electra continued, clearly feeling the
need to justify herself and her country for what had happened, for how they had
ended up pretty much enslaved.
“Nobody was
happy with the way Griagas used the backing of that “Guard" to make himself
king of this region, but, at the same time, it didn't feel like such an
existential threat at first. Griagas made a lot of nice promises, and was able
to keep many of them, throwing gold at every problem that could be solved with
coin. It felt like a bargain, and I guess we all shrugged and decided it wasn't
too bad."
“Depending
on someone else's power and money always comes with a hefty price attached."
Killer admonished, and Electra nodded quietly, making a grimace as she replied:
“That's right. And the RA is an impatient creditor: it soon began to build the
factories, and then the condos. It brought in a lot of southerners and other
foreigners to beef up the manpower needed to keep the production going, day and
night… and within the first year, this entire kingdom had already turned into
the cesspit you have seen."
“The
initial small contingent of RA troops quickly grew, and Griagas discovered that
there were fewer and fewer places he could keep his ally out of." Jen added,
taking a break from suckling his hoarse pubes clean. “And the stronger the RA
got, and the more our kinglet sulked and attempted to throw his diminishing
weight around. Our frustrated kinglet has become more and more of a petty
tyrant in step with the RA taking true power away from him… as he couldn't
order the RA around, he redoubled his efforts to control everyone else, and to
try and keep control of the troops, he handed more and more privileges to the
warrior caste as well. Unfortunately, it worked: the soldiers we used to know,
the soldiers that are our fathers, brothers, sometime sons, gradually turned
into entitled assholes."
“That's
what happens when corruption erodes principles and discipline. Power is
corruptive… especially for those who don't have it. That's why our Tradition is
built around the need to prove your strength before you can lead: weaklings who
get a taste of undeserved power tend to abuse of it and go to any lengths to
gain more." Killer calmly sentenced, and the concubines shuddered at the
indomitable dominance in his deep voice and in his matter-of-fact tone. His
word was Law. His use of the term “weakling", definitive: who, after all, was
not a weakling in comparison to him…?
There could
be no doubts on the fact that Killer would restore discipline and that nobody
would dare contest his authority. Whether he would abuse of his overwhelming
power or not, they couldn't know. The fact that his voice alone commanded such
submission; the fact that his strength was so prodigious to make him a God
walking the world of mortals meant that there was going to be no salvation from
his rule. If he decided to be a tyrant, nobody could stop him. He was going to
be more than just a king: he was going to be the ultimate Owner of their lives.
It was
dangerous: the one that came as savior, to free them from the combined tyranny
of Griagas and the RA, could potentially become an even worse problem. His past
record was mixed: as a leader in the war of Dark he had been greatly
appreciated. In the last 7 years, in the South, he had taken any and everything
he wanted, with no respect or regard for anything and anyone. There was no way
for them to know for sure which version of Killer they were going to get.
Yet, even
so, his presence and strength were so stunning and addictive, that they were
eager to see him sit in the throne. Having him as king was an intensely
exciting prospect, filling them with emotion that went beyond the relief of
imagining the RA gone from their lives.
He just was
something else. Something superior to anything else any of them had
experienced. A predator so majestic as
to induce preys like them to willingly accept their destiny and offer
themselves to him, rather than seek escape or shelter which both appeared
implausible before his power.
They would
have been reassured to know that, behind his apparent coldness, the complete
confidence and the natural dominance, he was the very first one who wondered
what the future was going to be like. He was tormented by the awareness of his
past failures and of the weakness of his self-control. He wanted to be a good
king, a leader that Athena, Joy and the others could trust and cherish, but he
was worried by his dubious ability to stay focused when things became “boring".
Now that he had a war to win, an enemy to crush, he knew he was the right man
in the right place. But the peacetime that would hopefully follow had him
worried. It would require him to be patient, and considerate, and gentle. He
was going to have to learn to sacrifice himself for others in new ways, ways
that were far more daunting, at least for him, than putting his very body,
sweat and blood on the line to win a battle and protect his soldiers.
He was
going to have to put his pleasure off, and of course limit his darkest desires.
Could he do that…? For how long…?
He kept his
worries well hidden, even though he often wished for nothing more than someone
who he could be entirely open and sincere with. Someone who would understand,
and help him carry that burden. And yet, as he saw Electra and the others
welcoming him so enthusiastically, without any reserve or hesitation, he was
left idly wondering if somehow they could see through his cold exterior.
Perhaps they guesses, or saw in his eyes, the turmoil of his thoughts…?
What
Electra and the others saw was a divinity, a titan who deserved worship and who
was so used to getting it that he was hardly bothered by the dozens of
splendid, eager, bare or mostly bare female bodies clustering around him,
revering him, serving him, massaging, kissing, licking him.
Even as
dozens of tongues dragged up his feet, his legs, his abs; even as loving
muzzles pushed into his armpits in turn, mouths suckling every last bang of
curly, thick hair clean by drinking his sweat away like ambrosia; even as
dozens of breasts ground lovingly against his twitching godcock and as many
hands and tongues labored to clean the almighty shaft and leave it shiny with a
gleam of warm drool, his mind remained calm and lucid.
His supreme
confidence, which sometimes bordered into arrogance, was on full display as he
relaxed through the slow pleasure, completely unconcerned by the uncountable
sweaty bodies clustered around him, moving in the steamy fog, working over his
body, in a foreign castle, before the rival king was even properly struck down.
He was unconcerned by the cameras, and the fact that his enemy was watching. If
anything, that made the moment sweeter. Not for a moment he was concerned about
someone stabbing him, or sneaking up on him for an assassination. He had no
fear, no hesitation, no worries at all about what his enemies might attempt…
and it made Electra and the other concubines feel like small, puny bugs
crawling all over the body of a colossus. Like mortals blessed with the chance
to worship a true divinity, invincible and unconcerned by anything the puny
mortals might try.
Anyone else
would have been wary, suspicious, nervous… and hard as a rock, putty in the
hands of those expert, ravenous females who had pleasure as their purpose and
job. The comparison with Griagas was stark: the king had long ceased to expose
himself. He hadn't visited the steam baths in more than a year, for example,
because he was growing more and more paranoid about assassination attempts. It
wasn't clear who he feared the most at that point: the RA, his people, or
specifically his Forbidden Ones, his concubines and wives. Electra and a few
others were pregnant with Griagas's children, but they were the exceptions, not
the rule: Griagas saw his concubines one by one, or at most in pairs, and did
so more and more rarely.
And here
Killer was, fearless and triumphant, naked and with his eyes closed as they all
ground into him in a cloud of steam. While his rival was hidden, still
technically king, still dangerous.
He knew no fear.
He was all but inviting his enemies to step forth and annoy him, just so he
could stretch his powerful arm and crush them out of existence. Jen tugged
gently at his wrist until he leisurely opened one eye, and as she pointed at
the masseuses as they reached for gold and silver strigils, curved, dull blades
used to scrap off dirt, oils and perspiration from the body.
The huge
male only gave the concubines a slight smile and a nod in return, allowing them
to come forth. He watched them combine the work of their hands and tongues with
the gentle scratching of the metallic tools, and then his eyes slid closed
again with a content sigh and a twitch of its glorious godcock which, alone,
commanded their obedience with its lurid omnipotence. If any of the concubines
had had hidden feelings of loyalty towards Griagas, they were dissolved by the
undeniable supremacy in this true Alpha's masculine scent, in his confidence,
in his overwhelming, excessive power and virility.
In other
times, a king with more honor and less fear than Griagas would have welcomed
his challenged and would have shared a steam bath with him. Both males would
have been scraped with strigils, their muscles washed and massaged and oiled.
They would have donned nothing more than loincloths and would have stepped into
the arena with nothing but their bare hands, or at most with their hand to hand
weapon of choice. They would have behaved almost like friends, right up to the
moment in which their fight started. According to Tradition, after all, the
role of the king was sacred, and its legitimacy rested upon the male's ability
to ensure growth, strength and improvement for its whole bloodline. There was
no hate between the contenders: there ideally was respect and the acceptance
that the one who could prove to be the strongest deserved to lead. Clearly,
Griagas had no intention to comply with Tradition, but his concubines
admittedly didn't mind: they were all too eager to give all of their attention
and worship to the challenger. They were serving him in ways that obviously
went far above and beyond the norm… and all Griagas was doing was watch on
through the security cameras.
He felt a
bit guilty, enjoying such worshipful tongue bath while outside the battle raged
on, but the less merciful part of him told him that Kendrew needed to shed its
part of blood and sweat to redeem itself. They had allowed Griagas and the RA
to walk in unopposed, and now they were paying the price of that stupidity. He
had single-handedly broken the RA's front and put them on the backfoot, turning
the tide of battle, but now he expected his army to complete the job without
his help. He would be back in the very vanguard as soon as they were ready to
pursue the RA through the rest of the kingdom.
Killer let
out a low rumble of pleasure as tongues dragged over the thick slabs of muscle
of his pecs, mouths taking turns in lovingly licking and suckling and teasing
his black nipples, warm drool replacing the blood of his enemies, his sweat and
the grime and dust of battle as their hands massaged and stroked over his
powerful, bulging muscles. He let his head tilt back further when another
concubine began grooming his mane, delicately working out the knots and taking
care of every thick bang, hands massaging gently over his scalp. Pleasantly hot
water was sprayed on his hair, and sponges were reverently rubbed over his
stupendous form, complementing the hard work done by all those eager tongues
that lapped up every inch of his glorious form, beginning with the sole of his
feet, the arch, the heel, the thick toes.
Strigils
scraped over his herculean figure, pleasantly grinding into his hard muscles,
moving slowly and reverently, and a multitude of hands labored over the great,
massive anaconda of his malehood, peeling back the thick blanket of his
foreskin and beginning to scoop off forming cockslime that was sheer,
overwhelming, wasted virility beginning to harden up in the dark, hot inferno
beneath the thick hood of flesh. Hands slid upwards and beneath the thick
foreskin with audible squelches, and fingers ventured in the spaces between his
thick, mighty barbs, and then wandered along the underside of his brutal flare.
The concubines gasped not in revulsion but in delight and lust as they began to
slowly scoop out thick cocksludge, compacted gunk that was a concentrate of
pure hypervirility, a mass of hardening precum that they reverently tasted like
it was thick, black jam, smearing the dense filth over their breasts and
sometimes finding enough heart to share with other impatient concubines that
moaned and tugged at them, demanding their taste. Thick splatters of that
masculine essence fell down into expectant mouths and over eager faces with
sick sounds like a handful of mud smacking down on flesh. It was so
stupendously thick that they had to chew the mighty essence before gulping it
down, and with abundant helping of their drool it stretched into thick strings
and ropes hanging from fingers and breasts and connecting hungry, moaning
mouths as the concubines kissed and shared that unmatched, intoxicating gift of
hypermasculinity.
Killer
grunted lightly and smirked as dozens of eager tigresses spat and drooled over
his colossal cockhead, feeling the warm fluids roll down his sensitive flare
before he hissed and gave a slight buck as no less than six hands gripped
firmly, greedily into the sides of his cockhead and began to stroke up and
down, wrapping tightly over the fat helmet of meat, squeezing, kneading,
spreading warm drool all over the humongous flare.
The huge
male licked his lips with a rumble as four, six, ten fingers greedily pushed at
once into the yawning, massive cockmaw, running along its vast circumference,
thrusting in and out, pushing down to the knuckle and teasing the inside of his
enormous cum channel and vainly attempting to clean it by scooping out great
amounts of his inexhaustible supply of dark, slick, omnipotent precum. Eager,
intoxicated concubines pushed their muzzles forwards and greedily licked over
those frantically working fingers and dived between them, trying to get a taste
of the huge male's glorious cock, and other moaning slaves almost fought their
way in to get their chance, while others grabbed the wrists of the lucky ones
in front and yanked their hands away from his cock just to get a chance to
suckle his taste off their fingers.
As if to
reward all that hard work, the monstrous godcock flexed and jumped up, swelling
arrogantly in their grips, growing in the trembling hold of a dozen concubines,
forcing their hands even further apart, spreading out their fingers even more as the already gargantuan member
engorged itself, pulsing with power and blasting out a cannonade of black
precum which smacked into the floor hard enough they thought it would shot
right through the marble. The great rope of hypermasculine gunk bounced,
instead, and fired across the entire, vast room: a meteor of virility powerful
enough the change the destinies of any planet it struck. The concubines watched
it with greedy, shocked eyes, mouths agape, breath getting heavy, nostrils
flaring to suck in the rich, powerful musk of the male's essence, shivers
running down their spines as their loins burned, feeling like that hypervirile
reek alone would make them all pregnant.
Killer
smirked as his heavy, dense precum audibly smacked down on the floor and
against a distant wall, painting a dark river of masculine essence across the
room, but when he opened his mouth to comment, Electra eagerly silenced him by
stealing a light kiss. Her tongue gently but insistently demanded access, and
he let her enter with a rumble of entertainment, surprised by the expertness
and greedy ferocity with which her tongue moved against his own much larger one.
The light kiss became passionate, greedy, endless as she leaned down against
his broad back, grinding her breasts into him while mouthing his lips and
rolling her tongue around his mouth, finally all but licking over his deadly
fangs.
Jen
exploited the moment to push between his legs and haul herself up to sit gently
down in his, on one of his massive thighs. She leaned against his massive
chest, breathing in his masculine scent, and her bare feet pushed against his
monstrous black shaft, rubbing teasingly into it, grinding slowly up and down
along that endless anaconda of black meat.
The force
in his body was mind-boggling, the power pulsing in his veins terrifying and
intoxicating. Jen's eyes bulged, fixated on the massive slabs of muscle of his
chest, hypnotized by their flexing and bulging as they heaved slowly with his
breath. Her hands tremblingly massaged his masculine pecs, and her feet slowly
ground down against protruding, thick veins that felt as solid as iron pipes as
blood and seemingly pure power fed into his hulking cock as twenty different
tongues labored to coat his dark meat in warm drool, hands stroking and kneading
and massaging the incredible member as it lazily continued to grow longer and
fatter and heavier, even more incredible, a monstrous leviathan which now
dragged on the floor.
His thick,
potent precum was like a slick, dense glue that audibly sucked her feet in,
kept them glued to his powerful male-meat as he gently half-wrapped one huge
arm around her waist, lightly gripping into her groin, fingers shamelessly
grinding over her tight slit and teasing her needy sex, her breath becoming
quick and rough as her loins burned and her cheeks flushed. His body was
enormous, solid beyond description, hot and full of vigor, and even as he
lazily rested back and let his eyes slip closed, his entire body felt like it
was full of an explosive, barely restrained, cataclysmic force.
The bicep
pushing into her back felt like it could rip her in half if it just flexed and
bulged; his arm wrapped around her felt like it could squish her into liquid,
the hand gripping into her groin felt like it could make confetti out of her and
the two fingers that suddenly hooked inside her pussy literally hefted her up
off his leg like she was a sock-puppet. Jen gasped and hugged herself in
disbelieving ecstasy as the huge male lifted her body up into the air with his
fingers alone, not even noticing he was doing it, as he just twisted and thrust
and flicked them inside her sloppy sex, thumb pressing down over her clit as
she moaned loudly and burst forth like a broken pipe, squirting warm juice all
over his abs and the base of his godcock.
Greedy,
eager hands immediately pushed up into the flow of nectar, fingers soaking in
the pearly juice and then smearing and massaging it into the black shaft, as
other concubines leaned in to add their tribute of drool, or even to add their
own nectar to that rain of juices. Awed, delirious tigresses stepped up to him
and spread her legs wide, bodies shamelessly put on display and offered to him
as they fingered and played with their eager vaginas until they sent their own
orgasm raining and dripping down all over that immense shaft, washing it down
in their nectars.
The hulking
male effortlessly dominated them all, his other hand reaching up to grip
Electra's head, fingers twisting into her red mane and jerking her forwards as
she whimpered dreamily and worked her tongue hard inside his mouth, trying her
hardest to impress.
Electra's
eyes fluttered, then closed with a groan as he kissed her hungrily back, his
far larger tongue twisting and tugging hers into his maws, encouraging it to
dare deeper, harder back into him. Playfully, he responded to her “aggression"
now, and as their muzzles locked, he teasingly nipping over her lips, almost
delving over her face, his much larger muzzle “eating" hers as his deadly fangs
left distinct marks and drew thin streaks of blood. Electra barely twitched,
breathing out in pleasure more than pain even as a shudder ran down her spine…
and then, when she was breathless, she pulled back, mouth agape, head swimming,
eyes burning with desire that was almost intoxication and addiction.
“That was
pretty savage, girl…" Killer teasingly praised, before grinning as he added in
a low rumble: “You know what they say about redheads down south…?"
“No…" The
tigress replied, nuzzling into his powerful shoulder and drooling over his bulging
muscle while she caught her breath. The huge male smiled a bit, looking
entertained, and then he said: “They say that the kindest redhead threw her
mother into a well… rather than share a cock."
“You are
making that up." Electra amusedly countered, but Killer shook his head
slightly, chuckling as he clarified: “Only the second part. Are you a bad girl, Electra…?"
“I will be
as bad as you want me to be." The tigress eagerly replied, smirking at the
hulking male as she teasingly shoved her pregnant belly against his back, and
then against his hand when he brought it down from her skull. He rumbled in
entertainment as she ground her bulging belly against his unmoving palm hard
enough to hurt herself and the unborn princes within her, and he felt those
poor, frail lives quiver and trash as his strong fingers squeezed in. “They
know what's coming… they know their mommy is bad, don't they…?"
“It's their
father that is trash..." Electra breathed out, tremblingly caressing his huge
hand and adding her own nasty pressure over those terrified creatures as they
cruelly played with them. It hurt her, and it made her
gasp a bit. And she felt the sting of guilt too, but it was weak, remote,
unimportant. There was a cruel, righteous pleasure in thinking that Killer was
going to cleanse her of the tyrant's spawn, of Griagas's sons and daughters.
There was a merciless, intense excitement and feeling the tykes inside her
squirming in fear as she and Killer jointly squeezed on her gravid belly; and
there was a vicious ecstasy in knowing that Killer was going to give her more
and better children. As big and strong as Griagas's offspring might all have
grown up to be, she knew they could only ever be nothing, nothing, compared to
just how impressive the spawn of this living, breathing god would be. “I'm
doing everybody a favour by letting you destroy his garbage bloodline... and
replace his spawn with your endlessly superior one."
“That's right. But first, you all have a
job to complete..." Killer agreeably rumbled, before he seized the base of his
immense godcock and hefted the prodigious shaft, guiding it to the purposefully
enlarged hole in the bed. He slowly moved forwards, carefully beginning to lie
down on the wobbly bed and making sure to feed his endless black shaft and his
heavy, colossal balls down through the hole, letting both hang in their
stupendous weight and immensity, the giant shaft easily reaching all the way
down to the floor and dragging on it like a python.
The concubines watched on in delight as he
relaxed in the bed, crossing his powerful arms and resting his chin over them,
his broad, massive, powerful backside exposed, his legs slightly spread, his
thick tail raised to give them access to his muscular ass. It was a wondrous
display of masculinity and strength, especially as the huge male's body was
covered by a light sheen of sweat that further underlined the perfectly
chiselled glory of his musculature, and the concubines stared for several long
moments before, as if guided by a hive mind, rushing forth to resume their
service right from where it had been interrupted. Tongues dragged over the
bulging muscles of his backside, licking up sweat and dust and dirt and blood
and gore, cleaning him. Hands massaged his glorious build, relaxing the great
cords of power. Breasts pushed into him as other concubines reverently dragged
sponges and strigils over his body, washing and scraping away the drool and the
cleaning oils.
The huge male didn't need to order them or
ask anything: the eager tigresses fought for a spot around his bed, for a
chance to half-crawl up between his legs to tend to his perfect, heavy ass.
Muzzle after muzzle lovingly ventured under his heavy tail and up his musky
crack, tongues dragging over coarse hair and finally over his black tailhole,
muscular and thick, lapping it clean, leaving it shiny with their mixed drool.
Concubines tongue-washed his firm asscheeks and polished them with oils,
massaging the solid muscle while others went down to their knees and crawled
beneath the bed to nuzzle his massive balls and tend to his exposed, hanging
leviathan of a cock as it dangled heavily and pulsed with godless might,
leaving them speechless and struggling for breath.
And at the same time, Killer smirked as he
lazily opened one eye to look at Electra, teasing: “You kissed me with such
enthusiasm that i thought you wanted to clean my teeth..."
“I will clean every part of your body that
you allow me to worship." The pregnant redhead easily replied, looking at him
with eyes that burned with lust. The hulking male grinned in entertainment,
then opened his mouth and allowed the redhead to grip his shoulders as she took
position in front of him and began to kiss his muzzle and face, her hot breath
rolling over his features as she reverently licked sweat and dirt and blood off
his forehead, and worked her way down to his lips.
He lazily met her mouth in a brief kiss
just so he could taste the droplets of blood leaking out of the fang marks he
had left in her swollen lips, then he rested, eyes glinting with interest and
amusement as she pushed her muzzle between his open jaws and began to lick and
suckle at his perfect, deadly fangs. Her cheeks burned not with shame but lust
and gratitude for that special, curious honor as her tongue explored across his
teeth, as her tongue licked down towards his gums, into his cheeks, against his
own thick, much larger black tongue.
Her eyes stared into his, trembling with
bliss, with lust, as her hands massaged, squeezed, kneaded, explored those
immense shoulders and prodigious biceps, running down his arms, obsessively
travelling over that pinnacle of hypermasculinity as if to make sure he was
real and not just a dream. Her nostrils flared as she greedily, loudly breathed
in that wonderful, rich, potent scent of supreme maleness, and she could only
whimper, gasping with painful need as her whole body shuddered, her hips bucked
and her nectar suddenly sprayed out of her, raining down all over her trembling
thighs as her legs nearly gave out under her.
How blessed
she felt, to be witnessing him up close, to be frying her brain and burning her
lungs with that unrivalled musk of pure, hypervirile maleness, that ambrosia of
shameless power and supremacy. His sweaty, triumphant scent was life-changing:
those who managed to savor it in deep breaths became addicted for life. Those
who only caught hints of it became tormented by the need to witness the whole
thing, eternally depressed and heartbroken by what they had missed.
Electra
almost foamed at the mouth, whimpering and moaning as she ground her thighs
together, drool dripping from her mouth, hanging in thick strings and ropes
between their jaws as she worked hard and he merely tilted his head idly this
way and that, giving her access to all his teeth, to differ parts of his mouth,
letting her clean them with her tongue.
Jen panted
quietly and stared at that strange display of dedication and worship, her
breath coming out in small clouds as she carefully climbed up onto the bed and
attempted to straddle Killer's massive form as best she could to massage his
back… and grind her dripping, needy sex down against his hot, powerful form. She
wasn't sure what she thought about Electra's work… part of her was reluctant,
part of her envious, and she stared with fascination, along with many other
concubines, as the redhead tigress shuddered visibly, hot juices running down
her legs in glinting streaks. When the hulking male was satisfied and closed
his mouth, smirking at her, Electra breathed out as if she had awakened to the
world for the very first time, her tongue lolling out as she clutched at his
omnipotent arms for support as her hips buckled and she helplessly squirted her
pleasure out, her blossomed, swollen sex quivering and her pregnant belly
twitching visibly. It looked like she was about to orgasm her children out of
her, right there before him… but he only needed to smirk and poke a huge,
strong finger against her bulging stomach to almost freeze her, make her a
puppet to his dark desires.
He didn't
need to say a word. Electra eagerly nuzzled him, even as her body shuddered
visibly, and she slowly kissed her way to his nose, finally sliding her tongue
into his nostrils, whimpering quietly as she licked them clean, as she lovingly
wrapped her lips over first one, then the other, suckling them and swirling her
tongue inside. The fellow concubines watched on in a mix of envy and hesitation,
awe and doubt. None of them experienced revulsion, even though they probably
should have… none of them would have refused the chance to take her place, even
as Killer grinned at her and tilted his head lazily to one side, allowing her
to move up to his ear, tongue sliding inside, pushing deep, twisting slowly
around, making him laugh softly at the way it tickled. Electra worked slowly
and reverently, swallowing visibly, never hesitating, never gagging, her hips
bucking quietly as she played with herself with one hand, rubbing and fingering
and groping, even as she pulled back from his ear and moved to the other,
suckling gently on it as she licked inside it.
Behind him,
Jen crawled backwards to plant loving kisses down his immense backside,
massaging muscles godlike for size and definition and lapping at them in love,
letting her drool leak out over those mountains of raw, brutal strength. She
moved all the way down to his tail, guided by an undeniable force, by a need to
worship and please, and with a growl she muscled her way between other
worshipful concubines to nuzzle into the coarse, thick hair of the underside of
his tail, before grabbing the skull of another tigress just as she pulled back
from his asshole to take a breath. Jen dug her strong fingers into her skull
and guided her face up against hers, kissing her hungrily, licking at her lips
to taste his sweat, his masculine superiority, his asshole, nipping at her face
and shoving her tongue inside her jaws, digging deep for more of that bitter, powerful
taste of male… And finally she tossed her fellow concubine away and shoved the
others out of the way to push her muzzle deep into his musky crack. Killer
rumbled in entertainment and let his head roll back, eyes closing as he let out
a hot breath of content pleasure as she greedily kissed his thick-rimmed
asshole, mouthing the black ring of muscle, licking every millimeter of it and
greedily, loudly snorting in his potent, hypermasculine stench.
Trembling,
worshipful hands continued to dig under his heavy foreskin, sliding teasingly
beneath his terrifying flare and digging into the thick cocksludge that his
heavy member constantly produced and that endlessly accumulated there, becoming
dark smegma, a slime so overloaded with hypervirile power that it made every
other male in the world a pathetic, laughable, redundant parody of masculinity.
Hands and tongues worked greedily in that hot inferno reeking of male supremacy
and dug out shocking handfuls of fuckwax that would impregnate the whole planet
countless times over. Trembling hands slathered that thick sludge across
breasts, bellies, up necks and backs, up to hungry mouths or down to quivering,
crying cunts that begged for a smidge of that omnipotent Alpha waste. Grateful
faces ground into hands saturated with the thick stuff, greedy tongues licked
across palms caked with the hyperpotent gunk as concubines whimpered and moaned
hungrily, needfully.
Killer let
them explore and play, enjoying the feel of fingers and of whole hands digging
greedily beneath his flare and between its great, curbed barbs. He rumbled in
pleasure as eager faces and warm breasts and needy hands pushed against his
colossal, heavy balls, smirking as countless tongues sloppily licked along
those humongous testicles and myriads of hands tried to encircle his thick,
sturdy sack, stroking and kneading and pulling on the thick, wrinkly flesh,
almost milking him as the concubines giggled and admired how low those
monstrous factories of life hung.
Countless sweaty,
hot, shuddering bodies ground into him from all sides, mouths licking his
muscles clean, mouths whispering words of awe and worship, hands massaging his
omnipotent, hulling form. Young, beautiful, firm breasts dragged across his
enormous gigacock as it hung, glorious and unrivalled, all the way to the
floor. Hands tugged, stroked, jerked; arms hugged his terrifying girth as the
young tigresses used their whole body weight to jerk him off, to get that
titanic member to budge. Choking, gagging, swallowing, slobbering jaws worked
against his black meat, muzzles, faces, entire bodies grinding against his
shaft, against his cockhead, against the yawning maw of his cock, as greedy
females twisted their hands and tongues inside that dark abyss, as they buried
their muzzles inside, as they dug out handfuls of thick cocksludge festering
with Life. Loving tongues sought out his abs and chest through the wooden
staves of the bed, and mouths suckled his fingers one by one, polishing his claws.
Loving concubines fed tender, tasty morsels into his jaws if he so much as
opened his mouth, without him needing to ask, and then the same slaves eagerly
licked any crumble and leftover off his teeth and fangs, because nothing could
be allowed to diminish the perfection of his hypermasculine divinity.
Mouths
kissed his asshole and polished it with drool, hands and tongues dug behind the
frightening flare of his beastly cockhead, dived beneath the heavy flesh of his
foreskin. Killer rumbled in pleasure as those sweaty, needy bodies arched and
huddled beneath his balls, struggling to heft those colossal boulders.
Concubines writhed under him, moaning and licking sweat and musk like ambrosia
from his omnivirile orbs and from the gargantuan shaft as they hugged it and
stroked and pumped and teased it, trembling and bucking as they felt the power
pulsing through the immense member as it stirred and grew.
He was a God
among mortals. Absolute and supreme, he made the concubines feel lucky to be
able to serve him. They felt like they had found the purpose of their very
existences: to worship him, to taste his cock, to be ruined and gaped out wide
by him, to be ground into lube beneath that prodigious godcock.
Killer
almost forgot about his hidden rival, relaxing and letting his eyes close as he
enjoyed the ministrations of the eager harem, but then something loudly buzzed,
and the huge male leisurely opened one eye, looking up as one of the concubines
finally walked through the fog of steam and returned with a large laptop in her
hands.
“Must have
grown too much for the loser to bear." The tigress teasingly commented, and
Killer smirked and gave her a slight nod of thanks as he reached up to take the
laptop out of her fingers.
The screen
showed a the inside of a rather anonymous office inside a deep bunker. The
walls were covered by a very evident layer of Kevlar that was there to prevent
spalling of the walls and keep potentially deadly slivers of concrete from
bursting across the room if the outside of the bunker was hit by heavy weapons.
A bulky,
scarred tiger was standing in front of the camera, half-hunched over keyboards
and control panels, and Killer's eyes were curiously attracted not so much by
the angry glare of his rival, but rather by a large golden bullet that hang at
the end of a golden chain around the king's neck.
Griagas was
a bulky, large warrior with a thick musculature and with a large number of
scars across his thick hide. Killer could well understand why such a beast
would think himself worthy of being a king rather than just an officer in
someone else's army and he could tell why other soldiers hadn't been eager to
stand in his way, even disregarding the RA troops he had been supported with.
Griagas was
clearly a battle hardened veteran with an uncommon strength and a savagery
about him that showed clearly in his emerald eyes. He struck an intimidating
figure that would have most people cowed, but that was unfortunately just not
enough to impress a colossus like Killer. Griagas was well above average, but
the liger was a titan, a divinity walking among mortals, so the self-proclaimed
king of Kendrew hardly warranted more than a cursory look. No matter what he
did, he could not impress Killer… and the fact he was hiding in a bunker deep
underground made it clear that he was painfully aware of it.
“Lord
Griagas, I suppose." Killer ironically said, smirking slightly. “I trust you
have enjoyed the show so far. Why don't you come up and join us…? I'm always
happy to have a public. I'll let you take a real
close look as I take care of these welcoming girls."
The king of
Kendrew visibly shivered in fear and revulsion at the thought. Griagas's hands
clutched helplessly at the metallic table in front of him, muscles flexing and
bulging with power which would have normally been impressive, but which looked
like a sad joke in front of the sheer mass of Killer's arms. The scarred
warrior, who was visibly older than Killer by at least a couple of decades, did
his best to repress his shudder and forced himself to say: “Lord Killer Huxley,
the mighty Wyvern. I… I want to… to discuss the terms of my surrender."
Killer
closed his eyes for a brief moment, and tilted his head to the side with a
little snort of contempt, coldly remarking: “Convenient. First you hide away,
hoping that your Army and the RA's troops would be able to stop me from getting
to you, and now you try to bargain your way out."
Griagas's
face twitched visibly, the older warrior trembling with helpless outrage, but
he gritted his teeth together and said nothing. His cheeks contracted visibly
as he clenched his jaws shut hard enough that it had to be painful. He had to
swallow back down his weak, useless protests and meekly bow his head before the
hulking colossus filling the screens before him, and he swallowed thickly
before weakly objecting: “It… Lord Huxley, my Army has not… my troops have not
fought against you."
“Some
idiots kind of did." Killer easily replied, shrugging his enormous shoulders
with a little smirk of amusement. “Young, arrogant brats who have been allowed
to throw their weight around and treat civilians like slaves for long enough
that they started to believe they were really powerful. Didn't take long to get
them to see the error of their ways."
“I… I
n-never ordered them to interfere, Lord Huxley. I w-would never…!" Griagas
insisted, but several of the concubines clicked their lips in distaste and
grumbled that he was a liar, until Electra fearlessly countered: “You are
lying. You ordered the troops on high alert. Sent out tanks on patrol. Closed
down all the checkpoints. As soon as the messenger from Freedall arrived, you
tried to have all troops mobilized!"
Killer
arched one eyebrow and smirked indulgently, pointing a hand to the redhead and
calmly saying: “All evidence is against you, Griagas. You definitely wanted the
troops to stop me from getting here. The fact that the troops refused and that
they already hail me as their King is purely down to their common sense."
Griagas
grumbled something under his breath, glaring at Electra and the other
concubines with a mix of hate and disbelief, as if he was genuinely surprised
by their “betrayal". He mouthed silent, useless words for a moment, shifting
nervously on the spot, then insisted in an unsteady voice: “The RA, Lord
Huxley! You saw their numbers and their strength! I could do nothing: I could
not let you pass and surrender. They were never going to let go of their
factories, of their positions, of their investment into Kendrew without
fighting…! Please, you… you have to understand…! Mine was an impossible
position!"
“A position that you cornered yourself into! Of course the RA isn't just going to let
go of Kendrew without fighting for every meter. Didn't you know when you first
let them in? Were you really so stupid and blind not to realize that you'd
never be able to control them…?" Killer coldly countered, muscles bulging with
destructive, terrifying power as his body tensed with rage, his eyes burning with
fury for a moment, before he closed them and snorted in contempt. “I don't
think I can show mercy to someone who behaves as cowardly as you. Outside,
soldiers are fighting and dying and suffering. A lot of people will die
tonight, and in the coming days, or weeks. And it is because of you. And still,
instead of meeting me like a King and a Man would, you spy on me with your little
cameras while hiding in a hole like a rat."
“It is
n-not cowardice to a-avoid a l-l-lost battle." Griagas mumbled, still trying to
rationalize its actions. “The Art of War itself teaches that avoiding an enemy
that can't be beaten is the only wise course of action."
“Trying to
flatter me, now…?" Killer mercilessly taunted, before he slowly, majestically
straightened and began to sit up. As Killer's immense, towering, hulking figure
rose off the bed, Griagas seemed to shrink smaller, his head sinking between
his shoulders as he trembled and stared at the images on the screens, stunned
by the sheer omnipotence of the colossus. Killer sat with his legs spread wide,
straddling the wobbly, groaning wooden bed as he reached down and grabbed the
base of his monstrous godcock, grinning as he hefted it up through the hole in
the bed. Griagas could only stare, his eyes twitching, his back hunched as if
the cataclysmic weight of that incomparable black cock was being piled up
directly on his shoulders. He visibly trembled and almost gasped when that
impossible monument of hypervirility was finally allowed to flop down on the
bed, bending and cracking the wooden staves under its brutal weight.
Griagas
felt like that supreme godcock had been dropped down across his chest. His
heart nearly stopped, his breath gurgled out of his mouth with a cry of shock,
envy and disbelief that left him breathless and his legs trembling and weak.
Somehow, it was a mortification even greater, even more crushing than realizing
that Killer was more than twice his height and his immense musculature made him
look like a scrawny, helpless child. He stared in horror at the sight of his
wives and concubines worshipping that endless shaft, and his mind protested
that it was impossible, that no such power could exist. But there was no chance
it was a trick, no possibility of the multiple cameras telling lies, no way his
eyes were playing tricks on him: every foot of tyrannical superpotency was real
and full of vigor, and he could only tremble and whimper as he stared in a mix of awe and terror at the... the sheer masculinity of
the alpha, the living god, seated at one end of the bed.
The liger leaned back with a rumble of entertainment, naked, his glorious body
entirely tongue-washed and his glory honoured by sacred oil that dozens of
eager hands began to massage over his stupendous build. And that cock was
arrogantly sprawled from one end of the bed to the other, hanging past the edge
and dragging over breasts and faces of worshipful concubines that pushed
shoulder to shoulder to support that all-dominating sceptre. Heavy and
monstrous, supreme and triumphant, it was larger and more omnipotent than
Griagas could have ever imagined. Still mostly flaccid, it made a mockery of
the idea that there had ever been another Male in existence. Nothing compared,
nothing came close, no other being could pretend to be a male when that
pinnacle of masculine perfection existed. The thick blanket of foreskin had
barely slurped back from the tip of the fat, monstrous head, and the flare
wasn't yet fully engorged but already made Griagas's eyes fill up with tears of
fear, panic, horror, envy.
Thick, tar-like cocksludge and steaming
precum leaked out of that godcock in ropes thicker that ship lines, and those
dense strings of maleness draped around eager, sweaty bodies as the concubines
dig their fingers in, mouthed them, suckled, licked, shared the powerful
essence in long, sloppy kisses, smeared the end of those thick ropes over their
bodies, amazed that they swelled even larger and longer without breaking. Griagas
trembled visibly, fingers clutching weakly at the table as he stared with teary
eyes at the way his wives smeared the liger's thick precum all over their
bodies and features, their faces turning into black masks of thick precum,
tears and ruined makeup, while their bodies were slathered in cockslime that
visibly pulsed and festered with hordes of enormous, terrifying hypersperms.
“Am I bit
too much for you…?" The huge liger taunted, smirking down at the screen as he
saw the tears in the king's shocked, bulging eyes. His enormous muscles bulged
with barely contained power with every little movement, and his hulking chest
swelled and jumped a bit as he leisurely reached down with one huge hand to
seize his member just behind its tremendous, divine cockhead, hefting it up and
peeling the thick blanket of foreskin back with an audible slurp, revealing
thick chunks of dark, hypervirile smegma that the concubines still hadn't been
able to dig up. With how much potent male essence he pumped out, even just as
precum, he needed to have his monstrous godcock sucked clean very often or
those accumulations of sheer, filthy, brutal maleness were unavoidable.
Thankfully, he didn't even need to say a word to have a group of concubines
nuzzling under the swelling, growing, engorging flare to lick up those dense
chunks of hypermasculine slime. “I'll admit it must be pretty shocking to
witness something this big…" Killer added, guiding his cockhead down against Electra's
features, eclipsing her whole face and then hissing in pleasure as he pushed
that thick foreskin back forwards, literally catching much of her muzzle inside
it, wrapping her features into it as if it was the easiest and most natural of
things. “But it will get much bigger in a moment, so you better prepare."
“Of course
it's too fuckin' much…!" Griagas spat, trembling in helpless fear and fury and
throwing his head backwards with a sniff that he vainly tried to hide. His
chest heaved with the roughness of his broken breathing, but he attempted to
calm down as he dejectedly said: “Do you want me to say it out loud…? Do you
want to humiliate me…? Do you want me to beg…?"
Griagas
closed his eyes and gulped thickly, trying to control his emotions as he
trembled visibly and finally admitted in a queasy, trembling voice: “You are
invincible. You are like a god, and I can nothing against your strength. I am
but a… but a… bug." The older tiger trembled, closing his eyes with a dejected
whimper, and then added in a whisper that sounded, in some sick way, almost
eager: “I'm a gnat for your boot to obliterate…"
“At least
you are not delusional anymore about your place in the world." Killer
tauntingly remarked, the hulking beast of a liger rumbling in cruel amusement as
he seized Electra by the long red hair, yanking her face up into his enormous
cockhead and smearing his Alpha filth over her bloodied, eager lips, then over
her eyes, glueing them shut with a generous load of his thick, potent precum. His
other huge, strong hand squeezed on the monstrous obelisk of powerful black
meat jutting from his groin and slowly stroked it as it loomed over Electra's
pregnant belly, murderously massive, apocalyptically heavy, so terrible to make
the tiger on the other side of the screen breath out a little lament of fear
and shock. Killer let his head tilt to the side with a little hiss of pleasure,
his body flexing and muscles bulging with godlike, apocalyptic power as he
lazily squeezed into Electra's skull to guide her head's movements, to grind
her features against his gigantic cockhead as he added in a hiss: “You are an
annoying little fly that I could cock-slap into a stain… and the fact you are
hiding behind an army to try and escape reality is only making me angrier."
Killer grinned mockingly, his body thrumming with power as he lazily rolled his
enormous shoulders and cracked his neck, flexing hulking, omnipotent muscles
that filled the screen and made the older tiger shrink visibly, feeling dwarfed
and ridiculed by that towering Alpha, even through the screen. “Do you really
think there is a wall I can't punch through…? A door I can't rip apart…? You
might as well hide behind a biscuit, for all the good your bunker is going to do
to you." Killer mocked, and Griagas was horribly, painfully aware of the truth
of those words: it was no empty boast, no misplaced arrogance. Griagas had
fought in the wars of Dark and had seen young Prince Killer, barely 20 years
old at the time, rip battle tanks to shreds like they were nothing but
children' drawings on a piece of paper. Now his strength appeared to have
grown… tenfold…? Exponentially. There was no refuge that such strength would
not crush. No roof that the hulking Alpha couldn't tear right off like the lid
of a toy box.
“N-no, your
majesty. B-but the underground of Kendrew is a labyrinth of tunnels and depots
and safe rooms. Y-you will have to find me first." Griagas babbled, forcing a
queasy little smile on his lips, which was supposed to be a challenge but came
across as the apologetic, fearful expression of a scaredy kid. “And if you don't
find me quickly enough… RA troops are going to arrive, and they will be too
much for even you to stop."
“Tonight's score doesn't bode well for them: I
scored a thousand points to nill against their troops." Killer fearlessly
remarked, grinning in dark entertainment as he added: “The RA has clearly been
working hard to build a whole lot of weapons and toys… but for all their
effort, they are still frail shit. Let them come to me… saves me the time it
would take if I had to hunt them down."
Griagas swallowed
thickly at that, shaking his head in weak denial, his mouth opening and closing
but failing to produce anything better than weak little whimpers. He
desperately tried to think of a way to buy his life, to buy himself time and a
chance of survival, but in front of Killer's power, all options appeared like
pathetic, empty illusions. And his mind revolted and trembled and cried in envy
as his eyes continued to stare at the screen, at the glorious images of that
hypermasculine god being worshipped and served by those who, in theory, were
his Forbidden Ones, his wives and concubines, his most precious and most
faithful females.
Griagas
brokenly breathed out, trembling as he looked in shock and terror at the way Electra
pushed her face against that hulking, behemoth cockhead, the vast member
eclipsing her features from view in a way that made him shiver in a mix of
disbelief, horror and guilty, disgusting arousal. The redhead was mere days,
maybe mere hours away from giving birth to his children, and yet she was
slurping obscenely all over that brutal, colossal godcock which visibly caved
her bulging belly inwards with its cataclysmic weight. The lives of his
children were on the line, frail and vulnerable as that utterly colossal,
monstrous black shaft threatened to crush them all out of existence.
“S-stop it,
Electra…! G-get away from him! A-all of you, I… I am your king still…!" Griagas
pathetically protested, but he immediately regretted it as Killer threw his
head back with a booming, deep laugh. Electra didn't even tear her mouth back
from where she was scandalously kissing and making out with the hulking male's
vast cockmaw, blowing a raspberry into the thick mixture of precum and drool
and blowing bubbles in it as she pointedly pulled up one hand to give the
finger to the spying cameras. The other concubines cruelly, mercilessly laughed
as well, and those who could eagerly ground into Killer's sides, giggling in
delight as the hulking Alpha caught several of them in either arm, cradling
them in the crook of each strong limb as they cheerfully curled against him.
“You are
nothing." Jen viciously sentenced, emerging from under the bed where she had
still been slurping up the sweat from the liger's colossal testicles. “You can
never compare to this God. You only
exist so we can see just how inferior the average male is compared to this
walking God."
Electra
arched her back with a moan of delight and approval at that, shoving her belly
harder against the murderous, immense cock as her cheeks burned red as if she
was drunk. Drunk on that thick, rich stench of hypervirile power. She slowly
smacked her lips as she pulled back from the maw of Killer's cock to take a
deep lungful of fresh air, marveling at how that thick, hot, hyperpotent precum
nearly glued her jaws together, making it hard for her to open her mouth as
great, thick strands and ropes clung to her chin, her teeth, her lips as she
breathed out in fearful, helpless bliss. Griagas could see her neck bulge and flex as she
struggled to gulp down thick, massive mouthfuls of that constant, sloppy deluge
of Alpha essence, and he saw her shiver at the delicious, masculine, powerful
taste of the ligerbeast's might.
“It's so
much … and so good… so… fucking… powerful…!"
Electra almost growled the last word, half-hugging and half-pushing the
monstrous black shaft that dwarfed her and pinned her down, and her eyes
glinted with a malicious, almost cruel light as she added: “Look how fucking
huge he is… how strong… how superior! He is so much bigger than you … so much
stronger… so much more than all you weak, pathetic little sissies. It's like…
like he is a God…!" Electra breathed, helplessly staring up into Killer's eyes,
barely able to look past the monstrous cockhead looming in front of her face.
She extended her hand next to the bulging, hulking cockhead, putting her span
in comparison with that monstrous masculine opulence, and she breathed: “Fuckin'
look at this…! Look at this! Why should I let your trash come out of me, and
pollute the world with more weakness…? I want this garbage gone!"
“I'll
replace the trash with a big load of studs that will grow into great warriors…
and girls who will love their daddy, just like mommy." Killer teasingly
remarked, stroking his leviathan godcock as it hung downwards, dragged down by
its own terrifying weight, and Griagas trembled in a mix of horror, awe and
rapture, sweat rolling down his flushed face as he found himself hypnotized by
that monstrous monument of hypervirility, that commanding scepter of superior
power that loomed over his concubines and made them look even more like little
baby girls… or fragile porcelain dolls.
Electra visibly shivered in awe and bliss beneath that ungodly obelisk of
masculinity, a great godcock hanging heavily from his groin, monstrous and
bloodied and brutal, a ruinous mass of potent flesh which throbbed with power
as he stroked himself slowly, admiring his own prodigious power. He let the
monstrous, shaft smack into her belly, producing a sickening crack that told
them all that something inside of her had already broken. It nearly knocked her
over, but Jen was quick to leap in with a grin and steady her, other concubines
smirking with savage delight as they grabbed Electra by the arms and legs.
“No! N-no,
please…! Please, no! I'll pay you! I'll… I'll give you anything you ask!" Griagas
desperately screamed, begging, but Killer only growled in cruel amusement as
Electra almost drunkenly pushed her face against his immense cockhead, kissing,
mouthing, slurping, sucking, choking and spluttering, before her head was
punched backwards as an opulent blast of thick black precum and Alpha filth
shotgunned right into her open mouth, hard enough to knock her backwards like a
to, nearly bowling over Jen and the other concubines half-hugging,
half-restraining her.
“There is
nothing you can give me that I can't just take away from you." The hulking male
easily replied, matter-of-factly, rolling his shoulders slowly, causing his
great muscles to bulge and flex and shift, reveling in his own phenomenal power
as he rumbled: “Your wife? Mine. Your daughters? My next cockrags. Your estate?
Your money? It's all mine already. Your Army already calls me king. Your
concubines already kiss my ass. I'm going to fuck your unborn children into
pulp, and lube my cock with it before i ram it up your ass until you vomit your
pulped insides." The ligerbeast rumbled in his chest, flexing his huge
musculature before adding: “At this point, you are just a toy I feel like
playing with."
“S-stop,
p-please… don't…" Griagas pathetically begged, shaking his head in powerless
denial as he stared at the bruised, wrecked face of Electra, at her swollen,
almost closed eyes shot with blood and filled with tears and thick, bitter
precum and yet full of lust, desire and savage, triumphant ferocity as she
gazed up at the cameras as if to look defiantly right into the fallen king's
eyes. “Y-you have been… blessed by the Gods. Your power is out of this world.
You… you are master and owner of all you survey. You… you don't know what it is
like, to be a… a… an average mortal, only ever living at the edge of life, far
away from its pleasures. Please, you have to understand… the temptation…! A
long life spent dreaming to have… to have a fraction of what you have…!"
Griagas cried out, half-begging and half-cursing the sky for the unfairness of
that impossible comparison. “I couldn't say no… I couldn't resist… I couldn't
spit on such a chance…! You have to show me mercy! Give me a way out of… out of
this…"
Killer
looked down at the broken king with an indulgent little smile, and for the
first time there was some mild sympathy in his voice as he calmly retorted: “I
have plenty of sympathy for people who dream to be stronger, and greater. And I
have no greater admiration than that for those who manage to better themselves.
I would have no problem at all in according the most generous terms of
surrender to honorable kings. After all, being weaker than me cannot be a crime
in itself…" Killer paused, and couldn't help but grin as he slowly cracked his
neck, just to feel the power pulsing inside his entire body as his muscles
tensed and flexed and bulged, ever so slightly and lazily, and yet with such
terrifying strength. “… if I thought that being weaker than me was a crime, the
entire world would be fair game for me to ruin." Killer added that
consideration more to admonish himself than for Griagas. After all, for the
last several years he had behaved like the weakness of other beings was enough
of a justification to walk all over their lives and do what he pleased with
them, their riches, their religions, countries, dreams. He had spent seven
years pissing on everyone else's rights and bullying the world, if he was
honest about it. There was no excuse, no alternative explanation.
There was
no one in the world who could hope of restraining him, so it was easy to
believe to all the awed compliments he received, and to his own fantasies. It
was easy to think he was a God among mortals. His supremacy was clear and
unquestionable, after all. The whores and filth he put to use were lucky to be
able to serve him; to taste his cock, to be ruined and torn wide by him, to be
ground into lube beneath his might. They were honors they didn't even deserve.
Surely the only life worth living for
these insignificant masses was a life dedicated to his potency, his power, his
pleasure.
They were nothing beneath him. Dirt under his boots. The South always pretended
to be modern, civilized, democratic and superior, yet it had crumbled before
his awesome power, and had bent over backwards to serve and worship him. Their
laws had shattered, their religions had been turned upside down, their self
esteem had been obliterated, their demographics fucked out of shape, their
countries brutalized like gutter trash whores. They had fallen to their knees
at the sight of him, turned into primal, moaning, whimpering prey when his musk
had fried their brains. They had begged to taste his cock, to touch him, to
lick the dirt he walked on. They had showered him in gold and gifts, covered themselves
in tattoos and hyper-expensive merchandise, offered their wives and sisters and
daughters. Even their males, even their “leaders", even their sport idols and
their mighty “jocks" and the very strongest males their weak, pathetic races
had been able to generate had ended up turning into eager faggots; sissies that
offered up their asses and their mouths, fought with the whores and sluts and
fucktoys over the privilege of licking even his ass, of getting to experience a
true alpha, a true God's power.
But even
the North couldn't resist. Didn't want to. He embodied everything that his
culture adored and glorified. He was power, courage, virility. He won battles
with a flick of his finger, he impregnated nations of sows with a drop of
precum. He could become their God just by telling them to kneel and worship.
Here he was, surrounded by females pregnant on his potent musk alone, with
orgasm juices streaking down their legs, hips bucking, wombs churning. He was
hard as a rock, towering, monumental; and all the concubines trembled before
him, looked at him with awe, begged to kiss his ass some more…
It was his
call if he wanted to play nice and follow the rules, or not. He could rewrite
the rules, if he pleased.
But he
could not make his conscience shut up. Much as he enjoyed his hedonistic
excess, he knew he had to put hard limits in front of himself. The North was
his home. He had to protect at least that part of the world. Keep some order,
some balance, after causing so much destruction down south.
“Pretty
much any other king, I'd have sympathy for. But you…? You have sated your petty
little hungers by inviting a foreign army into Kendrew, with no regard for the
consequences. You have not just betrayed your country, your people, and my
father, by proclaiming yourself a new king in this region. That part I might
perhaps be able to forgive.
You've
given up this key defensive position, the door to the whole North, to a foreign
army that you couldn't possibly control. An organization you probably know next
to nothing about!" Killer glared through the screen into his enemy's fearful
eyes, and he venomously asked: “Do you know what the RA's ultimate aims are? Do
you know where it even comes from…? Don't even try to lie. You are too broken
for your lies not to show clearly for what they are."
Griagas
trembled in helpless fury and humiliation at being address as a broken, doomed
little toy… but in truth, he was painfully aware that he was exactly that: a
frail puppet who no longer had any real control over his fate.
He did his
best to steady his trembling limbs, and to steady his cracked voice, and
finally admitted: “I never met any of the RA's leaders in person. I… I've only
ever talked to them through a satellite link. The rare voice calls use
distortion to make the voices unrecognizable. Their forces came from the East,
but… by now, they have set up their factories in every kingdom from here to the
ocean's coast. Nobody knows where it all started."
“See…? I
can't forgive someone who stupidly opens the door of the North to a secret
organization that is clearly massing together an armada that puts Dark's old
armies to shame. You could have doomed the Northlands whole." Killer coldly
countered, making a grimace of distaste. He could only bitterly wonder about
how many other kingdoms had already been “infected".
Griagas
sniffed, humiliated and furious at the same time, and he clenched his hands
into fists, trying to focus on the rage, trying to find some relief in it and
the thought that, even if Killer won the night, the RA would pounce on him soon
enough, with all of its might. The older tiger attempted to force what was
supposed to be a cruel grin on his face and tried to look up into Killer's eyes
as he venomously muttered: “At this point, I don't care. You leave me no hope
anyway. I wish the RA well: I hope their rising tide will drown you and snuff
out your arrogance."
“They can
try." Killer disdainfully snorted, before adding with a cruel smirk: “In any
case, you won't be there to see me crush the RA into dust."
Just like
that, whatever little relief Griagas had hoped to experience was ground out of
existence as if a giant meteor had crashed down atop him. As if the liger's
gargantuan cock had slapped him down with its terrifying mass.
Killer rumbled in callous delight as he slowly dragged his hulking cock
upwards, grinning as other concubines did their best to hug the slimy shaft and
help him heft it, squeezing into the behemoth cock and helping him guide it up
to Electra's jaws, which were pretty much glued, cemented into a wide opening
by all the gunk that was solidifying on them, making her look braindead and
lost as her tongue lolled out and she drooled messily on herself, rasping for
weak, erratic but terribly eager breaths. He pulled back with a growl, just enough to be
able to slap the immense head of his cock against her face, and then he
brutally forced the tremendous girth into her jaws before unleashing a thick dark
precum as his member flexed and began to truly harden now, to truly,
majestically grow towards its full glory, at the same time flooding her mouth.
Killer threw his head back with a grin as she choked and moaned, writhing in a
mix of delight and agony as the precum filled her up, bloated her stomach,
punched down her guts all the way to her ass, squirting out of her other end in
a great geyser even as so much of the potent stuff spurted and exploded out of
her nostrils and mouth, splattering over her features and breasts and over Jen
and the other concubines, so hot and strong that it felt like it would burn the
meat off their bones as it cascaded out
in thick streams and clogged up even over her eyes as the whole world seemingly
became soaked forever in his incredible stench of pure, unmatched masculine
power.
Killer
grinned as he idly ground his immense cock upon Electra's face, enjoying the
way she meekly arched her back to grind herself up against it like a kitten
eager for pets. She slurped audibly, slobbering scandalously over the thick black
meat as she messily attempted to eat up his thick, virile sweat and cockslime
and replace it with her hot drool while the tremendous girth completely smothered
her features and the long, infinite shaft pushed over her head, past it and
drooped down her back, as he moved his hips ever so slightly to drag his heavy
shaft back and forth, smearing musky, almighty cock-slime all over her
features, his musk making the air as thick as steak, his virile scent strong
enough to cause tears to come up to her eyes as she struggled to breathe, choking
on sheer, brutal masculinity.
And still,
that colossus grew, throbbing with obscene, unfair, excessive, unbelievable
power that made all the concubines shudder, their legs trembling as their
hearts seemed to burst in time with every majestic throb of the gargantuan
cock. That godcock seemed to mock everything holy as easily two or even four
feet of stunning length spilled forth with each majestic flex, the incredible
monument of hypermasculinity so terribly strong that it somehow ponderously
hefted up its apocalyptic weight, even as the brutal flare swelled larger,
larger, larger, and larger still. Griagas could only whimper in shock and awe,
almost recoiling away from the screen as a cannonade of dark precum blasted out
of that member and fired across the steam baths, past the long pool and across
the harem's garden as Killer rumbled in entertainment.
The
monstrous godcock, harder than steel, was so powerful that it managed to
accomplish the impossible and curve slightly skywards despite its utterly
terrifying mass and weight, and Killer hissed in a mix of pleasure and cruel
amusement, leisurely stroking his immensity and basking in his own supremacy,
in the awareness that his hypervirility set standards that no one else could
ever possibly even dream to match.
Griagas's
eyes closed and he half-choked, half-sobbed, crushed by the awareness of his
insignificance before that utter monster of breeding
absoluteness. The veteran warrior felt like less than a petulant child as he
stared at that absolute power. He trembled at the sight of the liger, stared at
muscles that made his own look puny, cords of veins bulging through a hide that
was unperturbed by the RA's attempts to stop him. Griagas was painfully aware
that Killer had smashed his way through a literal army to get into the castle.
He knew artillery had desperately showered him in shrapnel to try and stop him.
All they had accomplished was dirtying his
hide up. Now that he was freshly tongue-washed, he didn't have a scratch on
those muscles that defined the very concept of godlike. Everything about him
was power and masculinity, and the older tiger gaped in despair in front of
that cock, of those impossible balls that were swelling even larger, hanging
even further down with their obscene weight as they visibly made the air ripple
and steam up with their heat, as they made the concubines around him sweat and
leak. He felt like less than a baby, less than a joke of nature as he enviously
looked at the forests of thick, rough hair rustling across the liger's chest
and from his pits, and he could swear he could literally smell the almost toxic
reek of masculine musk even through the cameras and screens.
His knees knocked together as fear-piss
flooded his pants, and his tail tucked away like it had never done before, his
eyes wide and ears flat as he shook violently, feeling his penis at once almost
painfully hard and aroused and at the same time spent, weak, useless. He was
hard, but at the same time he was the smallest he had ever been in his life,
and his balls felt as small as tiny raisins and as light as thin air as his
very body surrendered to that incomparable masculinity and attempted to change
into female to please the titan.
Griagas instinctively almost ducked, trying
to make sure his waist was well beneath the edge of the table, so the camera
wouldn't reveal his shame, but he was starting to think that the liger was a
literal God and could see everything and even read the despairing thoughts in
his mind, because Killer grinned knowingly, looking down at him with
patronizing indulgence.
And then he heard the muffled pants and
groans behind him, and he half-turned around with a grimace of horror even
before spotting his wife, his queen, leaning her back against the armoured
door, her cheeks flushed crimson, her hips bucking, her eyes bulging, her hands
vainly trying to satisfy the burning, suicidal desire that was making her loins
burn. She was staring at the screens, drunk on the hypermasculine omnipotence
that filled all of them, gaping and drooling at the sight of the hulking liger
and his impossible godcock. She was drooling like a feral animal, strings of
saliva going down to her large breasts as she almost viciously rammed her
fingers deep inside her crying hole, vainly attempting to sate a need that
called for something far bigger and far stronger... and Griagas trembled, once
again emptied of all spirit, robbed of what little hope and fight had sparkled
like a last courageous ember deep within. It was like that little ember had
just been washed away by the colossal all-male god's piss. A huge, acrid,
incandescent jet of golden piss that dissolved everything Griagas was and owned
and everything he had thought he could build.
Oh, fuck... such power in just a piss. Who
knew what that glorious hypermasculine beat looked and smelled like when he took a piss...
Griagas whimpered, repressing a shiver.
Why, oh why, was his mind filling with such thoughts and images...?
Killer's deep, big-balled voice rumbled out
in a thunderous laugh, and Griagas shuddered, wondering once again if that
colossal Alpha could somehow even read into minds, before his eyes bulged as
his queen let out a long, panting, broken moan and her knees almost knocked
together, her chest vibrating with the liger's laugh and her hips bucking hard.
It was like Griagas was seeing her for the first time ever, and he found
himself thinking stupidly that she was pregnant too, that her belly was huge,
that her swollen abdomen was so heavy she struggled to stay upright... that his
heirs were there, inside of her, and Killer's monstrous flare was going to ram
into them like a battering ram, a bulldozer, like a freight train. Killer's
laughter seemed to resound even louder in his ears, making his ribcage vibrate
almost painfully as he imagined his poor unborn princes and princesses crushed
in a sick, wet crunch, compressed together, flattened, ground into pulp, into
liquid, into chunky lube by the liger's immense cock.
And, horribly, he knew for sure that the
queen's mind was filled with the same visions, with the same noises, with the
same destruction, but apparently with none of the horror he felt. Queen Nike
let out an even louder moan, eyes slipping closed as she trembled hard and let
her head fall backwards, tears rolling down her cheeks as her body tensed up and her hips
bucked wildly as she pissed herself in a mix of panic and arousal, trashing
violently and flushing at the warm feel of the urine running down her thighs
and raining messily down on her feet and on the floor. Her belly visibly
clenched, contracted, twitched as the life inside squirmed in panic, as if
aware of her thoughts, aware of the brutal, hypermasculine tyrant power that
had invaded and conquered the castle and the fate of everyone living within its
walls. It looked like the unborn children were trying to escape, to find away
out of a body that was suddenly hostile to them, a mind drunk on images of
their annihilation, and Griagas let out a weak little lament before mewling out
a puny protest: “I… I told you not to come in…!"
“Fuck
you…!" The queen drunkenly growled, eyes opening wide as she hissed and wobbled
forwards, trying to get closer to the screens from which Killer's grin at once
mocked and lured her forwards, called her forth for service to his unrivalled
Alpha supremacy.
“Tell me
where you are hiding." Killer easily, idly commanded, not even bothering to
lift his gaze off Electra's head as he easily held the tigress's fragile
skull in his huge, powerful hands and thrust lazily forwards with his muscular
hips, ramming that monstrous godcock into a muzzle that threatened to burst
apart, crammed as it was with his dark all-male meat. Electra's jaws were
jammed in an absurd, painfully wide gape, her teeth grinding powerlessly into
the almighty godcock that stretched her maws so much that she could never,
never possibly bite him.
“Bunker 23A1, Master." The queen replied in a breath, without any
hesitation, and Griagas's eyes bulged with shock and horror, which only grew
more debilitating as Nike shamelessly flicked her clit and the soaked, swollen
labia of her sex, spraying juice over the table and the screens as she moaned
through her teeth, biting her lower lip and watching hungrily to the various
screens showing Killer's glory from different angles, unable to pick only one.
“Thanks, Nike." Killer easily said, even though his attention was fixed on
Electra as he flexed and used brutal, overwhelming force to overcome the
hopeless resistance of the tigress's
body, causing her neck to bulge obscenely out of shape as he angled his cock
downwards and pile-drove it into her throat, causing her eyes to bulge
absurdly, swollen with tears of pain and ecstasy combined. Her cheeks bulged
outwards grotesquely, her jaws creaked ominously, her breath whistled weakly
out of her flaring nostrils, and her gaze was eternally locked onto the
monstrous tower of black meat looming tremendously over her, endless and
prodigious, impossible to ever fit, to ever worship as it truly deserved.
Killer didn't need to do anything more than absently say her name to have
Nike shudder as if she had just had a seizure. She gasped and went stiff, legs
trembling, chest heaving, and then a loud, long, drawn-out, breathless cry
surged out of her throat as piss rushed out of her again, washing down onto the
floor with her fear… but fading into something else at the same time as her
loins bucked harder, faster, differently. Clearer, pearly, hot nectar now
rushed out of her in great, uncontrollable squirts as she cried out loudly and
frantically played with herself, making the hulking beast laugh as he heard her
cries through the laptop and watched with a smirk as the screen was covered in
large splatters and droplets from her sick, suicidal orgasm. “Squirt your
brains out, whore!"
“Yes! Yes! For you! Only for you!" Nike loudly cried out, hooking her
fingers into her quivering sex and pulling her labia open wide to show the flexing hole as it spurted out large fountains of her
desire, while her other hand ground crudely, almost ferociously down over her
bulging, pregnant belly.
“Again!" Killer commanded, and Nike howled out in blissful, terrified,
disbelieving ecstasy as her body responded to his command, even though he
wasn't even in the same room. Her legs nearly gave out from under her, and she
had to grab the table to tremblingly steady herself, mouth gaping, drool
leaking out in ropes as her sex clenched so hard it felt like at any moment it
would push the unborn children out of her, rejecting them with scorn.
Griagas stared at the scene in horrified confusion, painfully aware that he
could do nothing, short of murdering his own wife right there and then… and
while part of him callously demanded it, another, prevalent part of him was now
morbidly curious to watch on in awe as more of Killer's tremendous power was
revealed.
“You are so done, Griagas…" Killer taunted, grinning viciously and gazing
at his helpless “rival" with mocking entertainment. “I only need to ask your
wife… my lurid whore… to know where to come “knocking". What are you going to
do now…?"
The older tiger didn't reply, only whimpering weakly, shrinking on himself
and vainly trying to think, to find a way out of that nightmare. But his mind
was so shocked by the power of that beast that it almost turned against him, barking
that there was no hope, that there could be no salvation, that the only option
in life was to do what the Alpha commanded. His own mind screamed at him to
submit, to grovel before that invincible force, as if part of him was already
drunk on the thrill of humiliation and defeat. Intoxicated by the awareness
that he was of no compare to that hulking hypermasculine tyrant.
Killer smirked indulgently down at him, steam blasting out of his nostrils as his
muscles bulged with barely contained destructive power as he petted the heads
of two of the many concubines that grabbed at his monstrous godcock, stroking
his tremendous length, kneading the thick beast for him, kissing and slobbering
and licking and worshipping the impossible length of obsidian shaft that
couldn't ram inside Electra without punching out of her ass, skewering her like
a morsel of tender meat.
“Your
little cuckold mind is already wondering what it would be like if you were in
Electra's place, isn't it…?" Killer mockingly snorted, grinning as his colossal
balls smacked thunderously in the worshipful faces of the concubines beneath
him at the end of each powerful thrust.
King and queen both stared in awe at the way Electra's eyes rolled up in
her skull, how drool and ichors bubbled out of her mouth and leaked
scandalously out around his brutal girth, struggling to gush out of jaws that
couldn't possibly open a millimeter more without exploding into fragments. Her
face was ludicrously deformed, her skull threatening to crack open to make room
for his godless, brutal flare, and her jaws were blown open in a way that was
disgusting and grotesque to look at and yet still so laughably, ludicrously
small compared to the godlike monument of hypervirility that bulldozed its way
forwards as the behemoth's muscles flexed with murderous power. Jen and the
other concubines ground against the immense black shaft like delirious, crazed
demons, drooling and slobbering and licking all along that monument, that
embodiment of power and smearing saliva and the mixed nectars of their orgasms
into the solid, steel-hard meat, dozens of hands working frantically,
ceaselessly, dozens of mouths and tongues and muzzled leaning in, nuzzling,
kissing, licking, lapping, as Jen and several other of the strongest concubines
grabbed Electra by the arms, shoulders and long hair to held her in place as
the male's lazy but incredibly powerful thrusts threatened to heft her whole
body around.
Griagas wanted to deny, wanted to growl that he was a powerful alpha
himself, that he was a king, a breeder, a proud male… but he couldn't. His very
mind revolted at the blasphemy of pretending he was a male still. If Killer was
Male, then he couldn't possibly be. He could only ever be a pathetic parody of
maleness.
The older tiger flushed in humiliation and murmured senseless laments under
his breath at the terrible awareness that the visible wet stain in his pants
was not just because of fear-piss. He couldn't believe the tremendous, sick
arousal that made his heart race and pound in his chest, and he almost squatted
under the edge of the table, with just enough self-awareness left to try and hide
that new defeat from the monster… but the hulking colossus smirked at him with
a cruelty and a visible amusement that told him he knew. He knew he had won. He
always won, didn't he…?
“Don't worry, little faggot. It's normal for puny cucks to cream their
pants in front of me." Killer mockingly remarked, and Griagas begged the
heavens for a way out of that nightmare. He wanted to disappear, to be
swallowed by the ground and consigned to oblivion.
But he couldn't even tear his eyes away from the screen. He couldn't even
pretend he had the residual dignity not to watch and gawk in awe.
Electra's face was a grotesque mask of slobber, drool, thick black precum,
Alpha male sweat, cocksludge, ichors, vomit and blood as that immense godcock
sawed in and out of her throat, dragging out explosions of mixed juices and
fluids on every backstroke. Thick, shocking ropes of mixed gunk connected her
deformed, bloated face and the almighty shaft, even as hungry mouths and
tongues slurped them up whenever the huge male yanked his immensity backwards.
Somehow, Electra loudly, scandalously slurped and sucked against that monstrous
cock, choking, gagging, barely managing to suckle in a tiny bit of air that was
thick and rich with the huge male's mighty musk. Her hair were plastered flat
on her skull, soaked in the mixed fluids that streaked down her unrecognizable
features as she hurked and helplessly vomited as the gargantuan flare visibly
punched into her stomach, bulging her chest horrendously out of shape, making
her ribs creak audibly and ramming into her pregnant belly from above, looking
like he would fuck the unborn lives out of her from fucking her face.
The herculean Alpha male growled with a snarling grin, muscles bulging with
impossible potency as he effortlessly dragged Electra's whole body around,
masturbating with her face and grinning in savage pleasure as his dark precum
exploded in a geyser out of her asshole as cannonades of the almighty gunk
fired through her whole body, filling her up far more than her pregnancy ever
had, bloating her body out of proportions, destroying not just her beauty but
her very humanity as he pistoned his immense cock in and out of her
stretched-out, creaking jaws. The veiny, colossal shaft unforgivingly rammed
its way in, dwarfing her battered form and deforming her body, her eyes nearly
bursting out of their sockets as they bulged in shock, her neck bulging
painfully as the massive cock tore down through her throat and punched her
stomach out of shape, the tremendous spiked flare visibly hammering down into
her guts, punching into the helpless little lives within her. They could see
the destruction, the annihilation of those lives with painful, shocking
clarity, almost as if Electra's stretched-out flesh wasn't in the way at all.
The crunching and squishing sounds coming from within her, and the way his
enormous flare stood out in clear, terrifying definition through her bulging,
deformed body made it all too obvious, all too undeniable. Griagas's shocked
mind filled in the gaps as he stared with bulging eyes at the way Electra's
belly twitched and shuddered and moved with the massacre going on inside her.
The little creatures inside her kicked, trashed, quivered, and then simply
trembled and twitched as the monstrous flare of the godcock rammed down into
them, like an oversized, overpowered, brutal pestle. Their frail lives were
destroyed with the first thrust, their residual movements nothing but the
twitching of brutally broken bodies, their little forms crushed down against
the bottom of her womb, their bones crumbling into dust with a ominous series
of wet, sick crunches they all heard very clearly.
Killer threw his head back with a rumble of dark pleasure, gyrating his
hips to grind his monstrous flare downwards, like he was truly grinding some
ingredients into a kitchen mortar. A grotesque, sick squelch filled the air,
and chunky, ugly, dark blood spurted out of Electra's clenching, flexing sex as
her hips bucked wildly, legs kicking out at the air even as Jen and a few
others held her by the thighs, supporting her for Killer's convenience. The
hulking male squeezed into the redhead's skull with one huge hand and reached
down to grab the base of her tail, effortlessly lifting her up and out of the
other concubines' grip as he let out a low rumble of delight and angled her
bulging, deformed body for maximum comfort, using her like a literal toy, like
a onahole to ram his immensity into. Electra's orgasm nectar mixed with blood
and ichors and pulped gore and piss and sick gunk as he rammed himself down her
throat again and again, forcing himself so deep into her sore, abused form to
crush her unborn cubs into nothing but a disgusting crimson gunk that spurted
messily out of her quivering sex and splattered onto the floor and onto the
other concubines like liquid mud.
And throughout it all, amazingly, Griagas could see Electra still
attempting to suck, still working her tongue against the unholy girth that
threatened to split her skull, her very body in two.
“I'll tell you what your options are, since your mind is too busy thinking
about sucking my cock and licking it clean from what's left of your heirs." Killer
tauntingly said, while leisurely thrusting with his hips and dragging Electra's
whole body up and down his immense shaft at the same time. “I'm going to
destroy you, no matter what you do. Your only choice left to be made is whether
you want to wait for me to come and drag you out of your rat hole; or go with some
dignity. You can come out of your bunker and walk into the arena on your own
feet, instead of being dragged into it. In either case, I'm going to beat you
to a pulp, lay your queen down on your back and fuck your trash out of her
belly, and then fuck your guts out of your mouth. You deserve to die like the
cheap whore you are, with how you sold yourself to the RA."
Griagas let out a pathetic little mewl-lament, trembling helplessly on the
spot and unable to truly focus on anything other than the shocking, brutal
fucking on the screens. His mind struggled to process the “options" he had been
given. Somewhere, deep inside him, something burned almost with gratitude at
the mention that Killer was going to fuck him to death. To destruction. He was
utterly defeated, mind broken by the musk, by the
power, by the omnipotence of the god-beast liger.
The part of him that screamed in anguish at
that thought, at that complete surrender, was almost inaudible.
Inconsequential. Gone with his pride and his ridiculed maleness.
“I will... come to you." Griagas brokenly
whispered, bowing his head, and it wasn't even to save whatever hint of dignity
he might still pretend to have, but pretty literally to make the hunlking Alpha
happy. To make things easier for him. Because he understood now: all things
existed to serve the Alpha.
But he didn't move, frozen in place in
front of the hulking liger facefucking Electra into a ruined mess, and
oblivious to the smell and the heat of Nike's own torturous, sick desire as his
pregnant queen fingered herself almost viciously, vainly trying to imagine what
Killer's huge cock could do to her body, already enslaved by the liger's power.
The grotesque, sickening cacophony of choking, squelching, gargling,
slobbering sounds coming from Electra's abused body were impossible to describe
as Killer rumbled in pleasure and rammed deeper forwards into her, yanking her forwards
by the back of the skull and her tail, her little feet uselessly kicking at the
air as she foamed at the mouth and nostrils, blowing bubbles in vomit and
slobber and precum as her whole body rocked helplessly with the liger's
thrusts, her whole form pulsing in time with the colossal black cock flexing in
her jaws. She vomited helplessly around that hulking girth, trashing as puke,
precum, blood, drool and chunky filth forcefully surged up around his murderous
cock and burst out of her face, squirting violently out due to the pressure
caused by that great tower of meat clogging every last millimeter of space in
her, sending the same vile mixture exploding out of her nostrils as well.
The titan let
his head fall backwards with a growl of pleasure, grinning predatorily, eyes
half-lidding as he savoured the shocking, mind-destroying noises coming from
the barely-alive fleshlight stretched taunt around his brutal girth, her
tormented gurgling music to his ears as he effortlessly yanked her whole body
around, dragging it along a fraction of his utterly gargantuan godcock ,
smearing the black meat with Electra's blood as his thrusts reshaped her
insides and brutally crushed her organs out of the way. Her legs lolled
uselessly in the air, weak and lifeless, hanging loosely beneath her
stretched-out, unrecognizable body, but he let out a deep rumble of
appreciation as her trembling arms still attempted to hug the vast tower of
black cock that couldn't possibly fit within her. Her hands shuddered and
twitched wildly but still stroked and kneaded and reached out hungrily for him even
as he squeezed into her skull and rammed himself into her mouth, picking up
speed, grunting as he forced himself even deeper inside her, gyrating his hips
and savouring the incredible feelings of grinding the unborn lives within her
out of existence by fucking her throat.
The pulped,
ugly remains of the sons and daughters of Griagas squelched out of her
convulsing, clenching sex, spurting out in squirts of crimson and black,
sending pieces of unrecognizable gunk splattering loudly onto the floor, washed
down in piss and orgasm juices. Blood and mixed juices ran down her legs in
streaks and torrents, dripping from toes that curled and twitched
uncontrollably, as her poor vagina nearly ripped itself apart with the force it
clenched with, as orgasm after orgasm tore through her form. Killer grinned and
snorted steam out of his nostrils as he began to piston faster and harder and
deeper, the monstrous member flexing in her throat as he began to smash home rapid,
cruel, short thrusts that bounced her limp body like a toy, even as Jen and the
others attempted to hold her in place for him to fuck. Her eyes rolled up into
her skull, leaving behind only white sclera as tears vainly attempted to push
out, unable to roll down tears saturated with sticky slobber, vomit and, above
all else, a thick mask of black, omnipotent precum. Electra helplessly
shuddered beneath each devastating ram of his monstrous cock, and yet her hands
reached forth, gripped into him, squeezing into the mighty expanse of black
shaft that was still outside of her, that could never fit inside her… unless he
killed her, of course, impaling her. He could easily do that, the decision was
his and only his, and it only added to her tormented, insane delight. She
couldn't control it, she couldn't deny it, and she craved more of his abuse,
more of his power to be unleashed on her. Electra's tears were not because of the
horrifying abuse, not because of the life within her belly being crushed into
liquid that leaked in a thin cascade from her crying sex, but rather because she feared that it would
all soon be over. Her lungs burned, full of omnipotent precum rather than air.
Her mind reeled. Her senses were fading away. His cock was crushing her very
heart against her ribs, and its beats were faint and weak and puny compared to
the powerful pulsing of his immense shaft. She could feel his monstrous flare
punching down against her pelvis, having smashed its way through her entire
form, and she could swear she could feel her guts wrapped messily around his
girth, caught by his barbs, dragged around by his flare. She wasn't even sure
how she hadn't burst apart like a balloon yet, but it was clear her body
wouldn't resist much longer. She wondered weakly if she was going to drown in
his precum first, or if he was going to lose his patience, ram forwards a real
thrust and impale her, with his flare ripping its way out of her ass.
Electra let out a moan-gurgle at the thought, easily able to imagine the
scene in her mind, and her poor, swollen vagina flexed and clenched almost
painfully, spraying out hot juice that mixed with the last streak of
blackish-red gore pattering out of her as Killer rumbled and ground his
omnipotent flare into her insides, crushing what was left of Griagas's spawn
like they were grapes, making blood-wine out of them. She cried because she
knew she couldn't keep up with this God, she couldn't serve his cock properly,
she was fragile and helpless. She feared that he was going to break her and
move on to fresher meat… she was not going to experience his glory again. She
was not even good enough to get him to ram inside her gushing cunt… She was
just another piece of meat, no different from so many others he had destroyed.
It filled her with anguish, but at the same time it made his power even more
alluring. He could take and destroy everyone he wanted, do what he pleased with
them all. That was the power of a God. It was intoxicating.
Griagas was frozen in place, eyes bulging as he stared at the brutality of
that face-rape, shocked by the sight of Killer's gigantic flare bulging in full
definition at the height of her groin as it literally crunched, squished,
ground, aborted the last spurt of shapeless, pathetic gore-mush out of
Electra's cunt, which erupted with great squirts of orgasm nectar with every
savage piston of that immense godcock.
Killer rumbled and hissed in delight, his muscles bulging with devastating,
incomparable power, and the older tiger whimpered, feeling like the 34-and-more
feet tall Alpha was somehow growing even bigger, his enormous frame so
overloaded with power that it was like he was ten thousand feet tall. That hulking colossus of oppressive
muscle and violence let go of Electra's skull and grabbed her perfect asscheeks
instead, bruising her butt, leaving handprints that would linger for weeks as
he rammed terrifying thrusts in and out of her bulging, bloated body, and
Griagas could only tremble in front of the godless, unholy eruptions of black
precum that exploded out of the tigress's flexing asshole, which seemed to yawn
mockingly in the direction of the camera. That poor little hole yawned open,
gaping obscenely even before it was touched, just because of how Killer's
overpowered girth was stretching Electra's whole body out of shape.
Griagas held
his breath, trembling in terror, horror, awe and sick, morbid arousal as Killer
purposefully squeezed into her ass and spread it out, yanking on her asscheeks
to show off how terribly wide her tailhole already gaped, already turned into a
ruined crater... and his humongous cockhead was right there, a mere thrust away
from ripping completely through her, from destroying her entirely, from
bulldozing her insides out of her ass. Blood leaked out of her yawning, winking
asshole, and her body bulged grotesquely out of shape, stretched out like a
condom over his brutal girth, her flesh pulled so taunt that the blackness of
his flesh and precum were starting to show through her hide. Electra's
abused body twitched and trashed violently with one last choking rasp and then went
limp, eyes rolled up in her skull, little bubbles blown into drool and precum
and filth at the corners of her ludicrously stretched-out mouth as she passed
out, her bladder helplessly releasing what little urine it hadn't already let
out earlier, and Killer let out a rumble that was a mix of amusement and
frustration at having to stop just while it was starting to get truly entertaining.
He didn't want to kill Electra, and he had already pushed her limits far beyond
what was in any way safe and sane, so he slowed down to a stop, snorting
contemptuously, and then began to drag his immensity out of her body, which
clung to him like a ruined, broken condom stretched taunt over his hard flesh.
Jen and other concubines worked hard to help him, yanking on Electra's
weakly twitching form. Jen's large muscles flexed and bulged as she wrestled
her friend down along the monstrous shaft, until the terrifying flare, engorged
and brutal, ripped out of the tigress's muzzle with a loud, indescribable
“pop", followed immediately by an unholy, immense gush of mixed precum and
fluids that flooded out of her stretched-out jaws as she convulsed and trashed,
vomiting some of that immense load of omnivirility.
Killer's gigantic shaft swung upwards, nearly slapping up into his chest for
a moment and sending thick splatters of precum smacking loudly into the
ceiling, before the catastrophic weight of the monstrous cock angled it
downwards again. Electra's unconscious, broken form, unsupported by his
steel-hard shaft, suddenly almost crashed down to the floor, dragging down Jen
and the others who were shocked at the discovery of the full, true weight of
that bulging, sloshing, precum-filled belly. Jen helped her friend lay down
onto the wet floor, over the great lakes of precum and vomit and filth and blood
that had spread all over it, and then she, and all other concubines, watched on
in awe as the hulking titan stood up from the small wooden bed, grinning and
leisurely stroking his immense member as it throbbed powerfully above them all,
above their vulnerable forms, a horrific, massive, monstrous monument of
hypervirility and utter superiority.
The concubines huddled before him, trying to entice him with their gazes as
well as their movements, putting their splendid bodies on display to be picked
as his next plaything… but Killer had no doubts at all and easily seized Jen,
who blushed happily and let out a little cry of surprise and bliss as the
hulking male effortlessly hefted her up into the air to hungrily delve between
her muscular thighs, kissing her swollen, soaked, greedy sex. The hulking male
greedily slurped up her nectar, suckling on her vagina and mouthing teasingly
at her labia, teeth flicking her clit as she hugged herself with a moan of
ecstasy. He held her aloft like a ragdoll, one huge hand almost wrapping around
her slender but strong waist, and she tremblingly, hesitatingly reached down to
play with his mane, pulling teasingly on the thick bangs and resting her knees
on his shoulders for a moment, straddling his thick muzzle and bucking her hips
hungrily to meet his tongue.
The other girls watched on hungrily, enviously, wishing they were her, and
they continued to greedily circle the huge male that loomed above them, licking
and kissing his asshole, polishing his immense all-male balls with their drool
as he easily put Jen down on the wooden bed.
Jen looked up at her Master with adoration and gratitude, adorably flushing
in front of him while she moaned out a succession of “T-thank you, M-master…" between breaths that
were already turning into soft pants of mixed ecstasy and fear. Griagas stared
at the scene in confusion, some part of him still trying to resist, still
telling him that she should have been horrified and disgusted, not eager to serve
and moaning in gratitude and awe… and Killer, having heard the puny male's
pathetic lament coming from the laptop, turned his head slowly around to look
down at the tiger, smirking mockingly and flexing hulking, omnipotent muscles
that filled the screen and made the buck shrink visibly, feeling dwarfed and
ridiculed by that towering Alpha, even through the screen.
“What's
that…? You don't think she should be eager to serve…?" The huge male taunted,
smirking cruelly. “Hypocrite. You are still staring at the screen. You keep
crying like a baby, but keep gawking on. You keep drooling over my power, over
my muscles, over my cock… you could have just turned the cameras off. But you
can't, you sick little faggot. You need to see this… you need to see me fucking
this whole harem into coma, you pathetic runt."
Griagas let
out a ridiculous little sound, half-denial and half-lament, but even as he
twitched he still didn't manage to turn away from the screen, or even better to
reach for the commands to shut down the cameras, even as his wife moaned and
whimpered, playing with her greedy sex right next to him, eyes fixed on the
same accursed screen. The hulking liger laughed, stroking his prodigious tower
of hypervirile godmeat, flexing hulking muscles that bulged so indomitably to
cause his own hide to almost rip apart here and there as his mighty chords of
muscle nearly burst through his own skin. He saw the way Griagas blushed and
gaped, trembling in awe and rapture and horror as he stared at him, at his
bloodied monster of a cock, and grinned mockingly, rumbling: “Yeah, you faggot,
fill your eyes with this view and jerk your puny dicklet off at the thought of
your own body getting fucked into pieces… your precious wife impaled upon my cock
while you drool like the filthy faggot loser you are."
Griagas
helplessly nodded, instinctively responding to the Alpha before his mind had
even time to offer a weak, puny protest. He trembled when the hulking
ligerbeast chuckled and knowingly grinned down at him through the screen, as if
able to read into his mind and soul, and the tiger closed his eyes in
humiliation as he felt hot piss run down the leg of his pants once again at the
sheer power of that gaze, at the cruel superiority in that look that told him
that he was just a toy, a piece of meat. They all were.
Jen's legs opened for Killer even before he gently seized her by the ankles
and unceremoniously dragged her down the bed, towards the bloodied, brutal,
throbbing, titanic flare of his cock, spreading her muscular thighs and running
his hands teasingly up her bulging quads as he revealed her glistening,
drenched vagina, which winked eagerly at him. It cried out its need, already
soaking the wooden stave beneath with pearly desire, and it was further
polished with his saliva. It looked beautiful, young and fresh and juicy, ripe
for the taking, blossomed and tight. Her labia was spread out welcomingly, her
clit hard and eager, her slit visibly clenching in anticipation, her groin
freshly shaved. It looked so beautiful that Killer again delved down to quickly
drag his tongue over it, savoring her nectar and hungrily licking his lips as
he straightened, looming over her like a mountain. He carefully moved forwards,
grinning at the way Jen panted and whimpered as his monstrous battering ram of
a cock hovered above her, eclipsing the sky, covering her form completely as
her eyes bulged in awe and she stared at the golden rings wrapped tightly over
the huge, curved barbs at the edge of his unrivalled, unholy flare. “Perfect.
Divine. Invincible. Supreme. Alpha. God. Master. Breeder. Destroyer…" She read
out some of the adjectives chiseled in those heavy bands of gold, each made out of who-knew-how-many wedding rings,
melted and forged together into those tributes to his hypervirile supremacy.
She hurriedly ran her hands down those great barbs, along the edge of that
brutal flare, smearing it with oils and balsams that would act as lube, but her
chest heaved in fearful anticipation, knowing that nothing could possibly
lessen the shock of that tyrant godcock conquering her body and ruining,
reshaping her forever. Killer idly reached down with a huge hand, pushing that
arrogant pillar of godcock downwards to teasingly slap it down over her, making
muscular, strong Jen moan as she felt like a helpless fly, crushed under tons
of hypermasculine, pure, violent, hot, throbbing power.
She flushed as each playful slap brought forth a helpless squirt of nectar
from her burning loins, sending it spraying up against his shaft, where eager,
helping hands quickly smeared it across as many feet of godlike member as they
could, attempting to lube it up further while Jen shivered with a weak moan as the girth of the
huge member rivaled with her waist, the veiny meat pressing into her thighs and
forcing them even further apart while he slowly, teasingly ground his shaft
down over her, the enormous flare sitting arrogantly down on her head and yet
his colossal testicles smacking like wrecking balls not into her groin, but
into the worshipful faces of other concubines that had plenty of room to sit
between the bed and his legs, beneath that colossal monument to hypervirility
that was literally longer than she was tall.
That cock
was a tower, a monument, a womb-shattering leviathan that seemed to never end as
he slowly dragged it backwards, letting her stare at the great flare as it
rolled heavily down her perky small tits, down her abs, and finally down her
groin, until the enormous cockhead loomed right in front of her tiny, soft
gate, ludicrously dwarfing it, his cockmaw alone matching the size of her
helpless slit.
“Oh my
gods, oh my gods, oh MY GODS…!" Jen squeaked, shivering as a sudden cannonade
of black precum exploded from Killer's member, smacking directly into her eager
sex and firing across her entire body and far beyond her head, out of her field
of view, that meteor of virility streaking through the steam baths and smacking
down somewhere far away in the garden. It was so thick and dense with life and
power that it rammed through her winking sex like someone was raping her with a
baseball bat. She felt a cannonball of precum stretch her out like never
before, her eyes bulging as she felt it smack into her womb and fill it up, her
hands blindly reaching for her belly and feeling it expand and bloat already.
Enormous, unrivalled, tyrant hypersperms gang-raped her little slit, making her
foam at the mouth, back arching, muscles tensing and bulging as she clawed into
the bed and let out a loud lament of ecstasy, awe and pain as she felt like a
million males were raping her hole at the same time, their oversized, mighty
cocks grinding together as they tried to invade her all at the same time. Only
they weren't males and they weren't oversized cocks. They were sperms. His runt sperms. The ones his body dumped
and used as lube!
They could
only ever be runts in comparison to the gods of fertility that grew inside his
titanic balls, but they were hulking monsters, titans of omnivirility to anyone
else. They were ravenous, immense beasts, thick with “muscular" forms, armed
with spikes, and they each had the power to rewrite the genetics of an entire
world. Jen's body trashed on the wooden bed, twitching and pulsing and
shuddering as if she was possessed, her eyes rolling up in her skull, drool
leaking out of her mouth as her legs spasmed and kicked at the air while her
belly visibly shifted and bulged and quivered with the savage movements of
those god-beasts as they fought for dominance inside her, as an unholy number
of them forced through her tight slit, bulldozing it open as their solid,
spiked tails literally whipped her inner thighs, leaving behind visible crimson
marks.
Her
helpless body bounced on the bed with the force of her spasms as her passage
clenched around that writhing, twisting mass of brutal masculinity, both
welcoming it and vainly attempting to resist, to push back against that ardour,
and somewhere in the middle of that dark cocksludge, her pearly nectar sprayed
out in great squirts, invisible only because they were lost in the dense,
plentiful precum.
Everyone
gasped in a mix of awe and terror as the hulking male leaned forwards and
grabbed the edges of the wooden bed, one tree-trunk-like arm on either side of Jen's
head as her solid, muscular body suddenly resembled a small, frail porcelain
doll, utterly dwarfed by the bulging majesty of his musculature. Killer grinned
as even Griagas held his breath, the crowd of concubines tensing as if he was
about to penetrate every one of them at once, and he moved his hands to grab
Jen by the hair, twisting her mane in one huge hand while the other seized her
by the throat, steadying her before he thrust forwards with a rumble.
Jen choked
loudly as all air was punched out of her lungs, eyes bulging in shock as his
giant flare bulldozed its way forwards into what was an already gaping,
stretched-out hole, feeling like a freight train trying to tear its way inside
an olive. Her teeth clattered together, her eyes bulged as tears rolled down
her cheeks, and Killer smirked and immediately leaned down to lick them up,
teasingly rumbling: “Scream all you want. I like it."
Jen
breathlessly, hurriedly nodded, messily sucking in some air as her chest heaved
out of control, and then she howled out in a mix of triumph and anguish,
ecstasy and pain as he rammed forwards with his powerful hips.
It was an
impossible fit, and her hips were pushed up off the bed, her spine bending, her
whole body bending as she huddled up beneath his overpowering frame, but his
hands kept her pinned in position and his cock was harder than steel. Nothing
was impossible for his strength, and her body had no other choice than
surrender: blood sprayed out of her hole as her tender lips stretched, stretched,
stretched in the vain attempt to welcome that monstrous flare that seemed to
never end. Her voice shattered into a breathless, silent gasp as her poor
vagina finally tore around that unspeakable girth of steel, sending another
spray of blood arching up as the monstrous cockhead bulldozed its way inside,
rending her body almost in two while he flexed and leaned down with a rumble of
delight.
“You will keep watching, won't you…?" You'll keep watching like a good cuck
until I'm done filling up all of these beauties. Only then you will come out of
your hole to be destroyed…" Killer taunted, knowing that Griagas was still
watching, shocked and helpless and broken. Yes… not only was Griagas going to
obediently, meekly walk into the arena where he knew he would be not just
killed but literally destroyed, but he was going to wait for Killer to be done
fucking the whole harem.
And the liger didn't even need to order it. It was a given, at that point.
It was in the natural order of things: do what pleases the Alpha. “Poor little
bitch-boy… I'm almost sorry for you. Almost."
The brutal
flare of the immense cock finally smashed its way in, lubricated by Jen's blood
as well as her juices, and Killer licked his lips at the feeling of the warm
life fluids leaking out around his behemoth member, as her poor, quivering
passage squeezed like a too-tight glove around his tremendous girth, twitching
weakly, crying out nectar in orgasms that came in a hot, endless sequence of
delirious bliss, sending an unending cascade of warm juices down that
terrifying shaft, vainly trying to lube its movements.
Even as the
hulking male waited, motionless, for her body to adjust as it could, Jen
writhed and whimpered in tormented ecstasy as his restless, enormous
hypersperms continued to rampage deep inside her, her mouth opening and closing
as she threw her head back and screamed silently, breathlessly. She could also
feel every throb, every pulse of the almighty cock that already seemed to be
everywhere inside her body, as if he had literally penetrated her all the way
into the brain. She felt the heat and the mass of a phenomenal surge of even
more precum travel up his member until it exploded into her, blasting a huge
geyser of black precum up inside her, flooding her womb with an amount of
virile gunk that a million males together wouldn't even begin to replicate. And
before she could even begin to recover from that shocking sensation, Killer
moved forwards with a slow but powerful thrust, and his monstrous member
punched its way deeper into her body.
Her back arched violently as she let out another breathless scream, feet
kicking uselessly at the air on either side of his thick waist as she
desperately clawed into the wooden staves, then weakly, instinctively brought
her feet up and attempted to push back against his muscular, broad, colossal
frame… but it was like she was trying to slow down a train with her bare hands.
Her eye bulged, foam bubbling out of her gaping jaws before all air left her
aching lungs in a shrill, loud shriek as the hulking Alpha slammed forwards again,
burying even more of that endless, immense destroyer up her tiny form, even as
her pelvis creaked, unable to accommodate the enormous girth of the
invader. The resistance of her bone all
but made him snort in contemptuous amusement before his glorious member tore
even deeper inside her, and everyone saw the electric shudder that rattled her
entire body, more violent than if she had been electrocuted. Her legs went limp
and crashed uselessly onto the bed as he growled and seized her by the
shoulders, yanking her hard downwards and ramming forth at the same time,
bulging her body horrendously out of shape as his monstrous godcock ripped
through her womb and rammed into the coils f her guts, her whole form trashing
and flexing desperately as blood spurted out of her devastated, obliterated
groin, before she gasped and shook her head from side to side as he dragged his
gigantic shaft backwards, sending out a scandalous gush of thick precum and hot
nectar mixed with her blood.
Her
devastated sex twisted inside out, her pink inner walls stretching, prolapsing
out of her as they helplessly clung to the monstrous girth that had so brutally punched
it out of shape, unable to let go, and Jen trashed on the bed, letting out a
cry that turned into a scream as her eyes bulged and her entire form burned
with the intensity of an orgasm that almost shattered her mind. “I need to see…
I need to… to see…!" Jen deliriously moaned, biting her lips to contain the
moans that escaped her wildly spasming form as she vainly attempted to prop
herself up so she could get a better view of the shocking invasion, of the
brutal violation of his immense cock reshaping her poor body. Killer smiled and
easily seized the back of her head in a huge hand, effortlessly pushing herself
up and rumbling in amusement at the way her eyes bulged, at how she foamed at
the mouth and shivered at the indescribable, unholy majesty of the sight of
that colossal tower of hypervirility sawing in and out of her.
She gasped and whimpered at the sight of her destroyed womb clinging to his
girth like the scraps of a broken condom, staring in disbelief at how far her
pink insides stretched out of her on his slow, powerful backstroke, until she
shuddered with a gurgle, eyes rolling up in her skull as she nearly lost
consciousness when it was all rammed back inside her as he pistoned forwards,
bulldozing her prolapsed folds all the way back inside of her as his glorious
shaft hefted her clear off the bed, like the toy she was, like she weighted
nothing at all.
Jen screamed her ecstasy and shock out, head rocking senselessly from side
to side, body spasming as if she was being electrocuted, vagina clenching
endlessly, helplessly, weakly and yet with such force and intensity it hurt, as
her body attempted to please that titanic personification of power, and his
hypervirility, so prodigious, so excessive, something that was Not Supposed to
Be, and yet Was.
Her screams died down into a choking lament, and then breathless,
struggling silence as the immense godcock buried even deeper inside her,
crushing all air out of her lungs as it crushed and pulped and rearranged her insides, forcing her beautiful,
muscular body to bulge horribly out of
shape. Her eyes looked up into Killer's with an apology, since she couldn't
obey his command to scream anymore, but the hulking Alpha gave a reassuring
rumble, a sound of pleasure and indulgence as his hands squeezed into her bloated,
deformed body, squeezing and kneading his immense cock through a thin layer of
her flesh and hide which threatened to burst apart, to rip into shreds as his
girth turned her into nothing but an already broken cocksleeve.
Killer spread
his legs a bit wider, throwing his head back with a growl of pleasure as his
heavy feet settled upon breasts, bodies, faces, mouths eager to please him.
Hands stroked and massaged his muscles, tongues licked up his calves and quads,
an endless succession of sloppy kisses polishing his thick asshole while he
thrust leisurely with his mighty hips, pounding Jen's deliciously tight body,
bouncing it up and down his shaft at a savage, brutal rhythm. His impossibly
massive balls swung heavily between his legs with each hard piston, smacking
into heads and chests, hands and faces that caved under their ponderous,
titanic mass, and his immense testicles dripped with the drool and juices of a
thousands concubines while he pretty much jerked off with the poor, overwhelmed,
bulging body of Jen, towering over her, grinning and delighting in the
way her once beautiful body was blown and torn and bulged out of proportion,
how his tremendous cock was ruining her forever for any male that wasn't him.
Griagas wanted to look away, wanted to turn the cameras off, wanted to
escape that scabrous display of power and omnivirility, but the sight was just too much. Too
much to look at, and yet also too much to turn away from. There was no escaping
from that power, from that supremacy.
The tiger could
only stare helplessly through a stinging mask of tears and sweat, trembling
and broken as he listened to the noises of the massacre and to the weak little
cries coming from what was left of Jen. No one was forcing him to watch, yet he
just couldn't tear his eyes away from the way the young, muscular concubine was
being utterly obliterated, her stomach bulging grotesquely, impossibly, while
her bones creaked audibly, her ribs visibly pushing outwards as the immense
girth of Killer's cock bloated her from inside, punching her form into that of
a stretched, ripped condom of flesh… and Griagas sobbed brokenly with the
awareness that Killer was merely getting started, that he was thrusting with
almost mockingly restrained force up into her, using a fraction of his power
and less than half of his monstrous black shaft. The hulking Alpha male was
going to fuck every last concubine into ruin. Then he was going to destroy his
queen, Nike, who panted eagerly at his side, toying with dripping, clenching
sex, impatient to be used and abused like a cheap fucktoy. And then Killer was
going to fuck even him. He was going to tear him apart like the worthless,
too-tight condom he was…
Killer picked up speed, and he pounded Jen's body, fucked her with savage
force, sawing his immensity in and out of her at a shocking rhythm, scarring
Griagas's mind with the wet squelching, the sick tattoo of those mighty
pistons, accompanied by the blissful, insane, broken, exhausted gurgling of Jen
as his monstrous cock battered upwards through her hollowed form. He watched
and listened, his mind tormented by horror and excitement at the thought of
Killer's cock so easily crushing and fucking the life out of a body as her
insides were undoubtedly crushed into pulp…
And what his eyes couldn't see, his mind could. A thousand visions of
glorious power and fiendish violence assaulted his brain. Visions of Nike's
body bulging with the shape of Killer's cock as the Godbeast buried his
immensity inside her, crushing the babies inside into liquid to replace it with his own superior
spawn. Visions of his own death, of his own body bursting apart in a splatter
of gore as he was skewered upon Killer's cock like a piece of meat. Visions of
the whole world cowering in submission and terror as that godbeast claimed whatever he
desired, wherever he desired, defiling even the temples of the gods,
challenging the old divinities to stop him and hunting them down to crush them
like bugs. Visions of defiled priestesses and goddesses turned into
broodmothers, cumdumps, urinals and fucktoys. Visions of Killer using and
abusing whoever or whatever caught his attention as his almighty
hypermasculinity crushed and made a mockery of even the notion that other males
had ever existed. He was the One. The Only.
Fantasy?
Insanity? No, a vision of the only possible future, because what could ever
hope to compete with that beast...?
Jen was nowhere near enough to sate him, obviously. He fucked her to within
an inch of her life, then let go of her to move on to other toys. And it was a
very literal matter, because as soon as he let go of her bloated, ruined body
and rested his hands confidently on his hips, an enormous blast of his precum
forced her poor body upwards along his cock and finally fired her off like a
cork, sending her crashing into a group of other concubines that did their best
to catch her even as his musky, hyperpotent essence bowled them all over like
toys.
Jen's body twitched as she vomited thick load all over herself, even more
of the musky cocksludge gushing out of her gaping, prolapsed, ruined sex as the
thick black essence glued her and the other concubines together, thick ropes of
the dark gunk tying them to the floor like they were flies caught on adhesive
paper.
The hulking titan idly pumped a last heavy rope of his pre all over their
bodies, covering their features in enough hypervirile produce to impregnate a
dozen worlds, and then he idly, mockingly stretched, his godlike musculature
glistening with a light sheen of sweat as he surveyed the sea of eager bodies
ahead of him to pick his next toy. Killer grinned as he idly flexed his all-powerful body, stroking his
titanic black shaft and ridiculing his enemiy as Griagas watched on in
terrified awe, almost openly cheering the colossus on, almost vocally urging
him to show more of his superiority and omnipotence.
Again, and
again, and again, it went on and on for hours, and it only “ended" when even
the last concubine collapsed helplessly on the floor. All of the Forbidden Ones
were cast aside, comatose and broken, to rest upon obscenely
bloated bellies, with untold gallons of Killer's hateful and inexhaustible
hypersemen overflowing from their savagely ravished wombs.
Griagas, at
least as broken as those well used, hyperpregnant females, walked out of the
bunker without further protest, knowing that his time was up. He slowly made
his way to the arena, a literal coliseum that was part of the ancient core of
the fortress: a testimony of the strength of the Tradition that he had tried to
escape from.
Nike
followed him, naked and soaked in her own need, in her nectar. The musk of her
desire was with him at every step, as was the awareness of the happy bounce in
her movements, of the anticipation in what had already long ceased to be his
queen. She had no word of comfort to him, and certainly didn't wish him good
luck when they reached the steam bath area and she left to reach the arena
further beyond, impatient to admire Killer in person. There was no one left to
serve him, to wash his body, to oil his muscles. The women and girls he passed littered the corridors and the baths were more dead than alive: broken
sex-toys cast aside in various states of sexual-devastation, all of them
crippled by monumental, oppressive hyperpregnancies, all of them fighting for
breath, unconscious, or worse… each completely, grotesquely drenched in black
cum and overflowing with even more of that potent, superior essence which was flooding
the entire baths area. They were like milestones marking the unstoppable march
of Killer, the passing of his endless black lust.
There was no one to ran strigils down his
musculature and none willing or able to help him wear the traditional loincloth.
The only comfort was that almost none of the girls had any strength left to
laugh of him as he stripped and revealed the sad little stump of his dick,
caked in his weak, useless, watery semen and painfully hard while, at the same
time, shrunken down to a pathetic nub. He was completely emasculated, in body
and spirit, but as he prepared for his slaughter he found some sort of strange
peace.
Maybe it was resignation to his fate.
Acceptance. Maybe it was something else. His breath calmed, his mind cleared
somewhat. He was going to put up the best fight he could. It was still going to
result in him being squished like a bug, but he could at least grant himself
that last... bit of dignity.
Probably his traitorous mind only wanted to
fight to amuse the Alpha for a little longer. But he accepted even that. This
was his last hour on the planet. His last few moments, rather... and he was
finding a strange serenity in the thought.
The tyrannical, overpowering force of the
hypervirile musk in the air, after all, made it plenty clear that the world had
no need of his parody of masculinity. He was useless, redundant, a waste of
oxygen. A speck of dirt, unworthy of soiling the same earth that trembled
beneath the Alpha's step.
He made no attempt to fetch his armour. The
thought that it would offer him any kind of protection at all from the liger's
otherworldly, unholy strength was ludicrous. The possibility of hiding the
shame of his emasculation from the world was preposterous: he had no right to
conceal his weakness.
He picked up his sword, however. What was
he even supposed to do with his bare hands...? Even with the heavy blade in his
hands, he was powerless. The great broadsword could, at best, scratch Killer's
hide, but it had absolutely no hope of ever cutting through the invulnerable
mass of muscle that made the hulking liger almost invulnerable. For a moment he
thought he was some kind of poor assistant to a magician, a clown meant to be
laughed at. He was going to walk in, swing the sword against Killer's abs, and
make the world laugh as the blade snapped in half like a stick of bread.
It would be an insult to the Alpha to walk
in unarmed. Griagas took a moment to gaze at the sharp blade, studying his
reflection in the polished steel. Gods, he was physically, not just metaphorically, emasculated. He could swear
some of his musculature had deflated like he was a balloon full of nothing but
air.
He caressed the flat of the blade,
repressing a shiver of fear. He didn't feel ready to walk up to that walking god
in person. He feared he might break beneath just the patronizing smirk of the
titan. He thought, long and hard, about stabbing himself with his own sword,
and cutting open his stomach.
Or, well. He could fetch a gun. One bullet
to the head, quick and painless... it would have saved him so much pain and
humiliation! But he couldn't bring himself to doing it. No, he couldn't take
his life. It didn't belong to him anymore. Killer owned him and would dispose
of him as he saw fit. The decision was the Alpha's privilege.
And so he finally walked past the baths and
into the tunnel leading directly to the sands of the arena, oblivious to the
screaming of the assembled public: concubines spent and with little voice for
jeers, but with a great hunger to look at that memorable display. Servants. Low
caste civilians. The soldiers were out fighting, at least.
Not that he got any real relief from that
awareness.
But there was that weird, serene
resignation, again. Maybe Killer would truly fuck him to pieces. Maybe he would
get to kiss the Alpha's ass and taste his unmatched, superior hypervirility
before being crushed out of existence. His mind couldn't think of any greater
honor than that.
And no part of him protested anymore.
The crowd on the terraces roared with
laughter as Griagas stepped into view, holding a sword that looked almost like
a toothpick in front of the hulking colossus that waited patiently in the
middle of the coliseum. The ligerbeast smirked in entertainment, looking down
at the king almost with indulgence, and gave him the slightest of nods, as if
to praise him for not attempting to take his own life.
Why did that little nod fill him with
warmth, almost happiness, rather than piss him off...? Griagas's broken mind
didn't even try to answer that question. The answer was plenty clear by that
point.
Griagas swallowed thickly, his lower jaw
almost dropping as he savoured the majesty of that hulking Alpha, towering like
a mountain in the middle of the arena, making the coliseum feel small and
cramped as the sheer width of his shoulders and the girth of his arms made the
columns look like noodles. That hulking chest bulged outwards gloriously, slabs
of muscle so thick that they could stop cannonades. He was hypnothized by the
sight of them heaving with the liger's breath, which seemed like it would suck
away the sand off the arena's floor if the giant wanted. He stared at those
spectacular biceps, that made him whimper in awe. His enormous shoulders were
power given form. His abs, invincibility given shape.
Killer was naked and glorious, unashamed,
unafraid. His heavy, bare feet seemed to bend the world out of shape with their
mass, and Griagas found that there was nothing weird in Nike being there, on
all fours like a little pet, busy licking the sand off from between the titan's
toes.
The colossus had his hands resting idly on
his hips, and barely seemed aware of the gurgling, bloated, ludicrously
overfilled Electra, who was foaming at the mouth, drooling and groaning
helplessly as she remained impaled on his gigantic shaft, grotesquely
overstretched and deformed.
Of course, Griagas weakly thought. He had
only fucked her face earlier; obviously he wouldn't be sated with just that.
Not even after fucking... what? Close to two hundred...? Maybe even more. A lot of concubines he had fucked into
hyper-pregnant, utterly-ruined, brain-dead wrecks. After all of that, and with
Nike still fresh and unspoiled, eager to have her babies replaced, Killer had
fetched Electra and worn her on his cock like a sock. And not just as a
decoration, obviously. No, he had fucked her until she was grotesquely
hyperpregnant, her limbs hanging limply, her head rolling back and forth and
from side to side senselessly as she gurgled sweet nonsense and praises while
his thick black cum bubbled out of even her nostrils. And on the terraces of
the coliseum there were more needy sluts who knew they only had to wait for
their turn, and awed, terrified cuckolds who knew their wives and girlfriends
were gone forever, and staring, amazed fanboys and addicted faggots and people
of every shape who cheered on that walking god and would follow him all the way
to Hell just to see him conquering it too.
“You're finally here." Killer leisurely
said, shaking Griagas out of his awed, shocked stasis, right before plunging
him into another gaping freeze as he idly reached down and seized Electra,
squeezing on her devastated, bloated, deformed body, stretched like a condom
over his cock... or better, over the monstrous flare of his cock, bulking her with
his cockhead alone. One, two, three idle, slow thrusts into that hot mess, and
an unholy, fearsome amount of black hyper-semen spurted and squelched out of
that grotesquely bulging figure, flooding out of both ends. Then Killer
effortlessly hefted Electra and slid her up along his shaft, unsheathing it
from her poor body and finally tossing the groaning, shuddering female aside
like she was just a plastic-and-rubber onahole.
Nike shuddered as Electra landed heavily on
the soft sand, but she was so eagerly intent on licking and kissing the huge
male's foot that Killer nearly had to boot her to get her to scamper out of the
way. Griagas stared stupidly at the absurd majesty of that godcock throbbing
above him and leaking thick ropes of hypervirile gunk, speechless and frozen on
the spot, and the liger smirked before taunting: “Show me what you can do. End
your days with some dignity, if you can."
Griagas didn't snarl and didn't protest,
only bowing his head politely and then taking a step backwards to get into a
ready position. It all looked pathetic, as he didn't even get out of the shadow
cast by Killer's monstrous godcock, but for the first time in several years the
older warrior felt... weirdly at home.
He was thankful for the chance to leave
this life with a sword in his hand. Becoming king with the decisive “help" of
the RA had had a grievous cost in terms of dignity, morale, reputation, but
Griagas had never been a coward. He had been a strong, capable warrior for all
his life, and that, even in his current, impossible situation, was what he
wanted to bow out as.
The quality of the warrior he had been was
evident in the fluidity of his movement as he moved forwards to try and use
Killer's massive sizes against him, ducking between his legs and slashing his
sword out to cut the Alpha's scins. Unfortunately for Griagas, Killer was not
just a colossus, but an accomplished veteran warrior as well, and so the liger
easily swung out of the way, stunning the audience with his agility and speed
as well as raw power, before half-spinning around to tauntingly boot Griagas in
the back. The older tiger hurriedly drew out of the way, crouching to make
himself a smaller target and biting his lower lip as he realized just how much
he had to move around just to get out of the liger's massive reach: those huge
legs and arms could sweep an amazingly large part of the arena's area with the
laziest of swings.
Griagas spun on the spot, legs flexing and
launching him forwards in a hard lunge, his sword aiming for the liger's
exposed leg, but then Killer's other huge foot kicked him almost playfully and
sent his arms painfully snapping skywards, the sword almost flying out of his
grip, before the same foot punted him backwards with mocking gentleness, the
liger snorting as he deliberately toyed with the far smaller warrior.
Griagas grunted as he shielded himself from
that massive foot as best he could, staggering backwards and gritting his teeth
as every bone in his body creaked and threatened to break down into dust, even
though the colossus was being as gentle as a lamb to him.
He collapsed down on one knee, but then
threw himself back with a handspring and landed out of range just in time to
avoid being stepped upon and crushed like a bug. As soon as his feet touched
the ground he propelled himself into the air with a grunt, focused on nothing
more than proving his worth, on demonstrating that, had he not been fighting
such a walking god, he could have won any fight. He slashed the sword out in a
wide cut aimed at the liger's knee, and when Killer all too easily stepped
backwards, easily getting out of reach with one of his huge strides, Griagas
landed in the sand and ran forwards with surprising speed, swinging his blade
up towards the liger's mastodon balls.
Killer snorted in entertainment at that and
simply dropped heavily down on his knees, letting his gigantic, monstrous
testicles smash down on top of Griagas like meteors, like entire Moons falling
from the sky, and the older warrior ended up crushed into the soft sand, buried
into the dusty floor of the arena, pinned and helpless as his chest caved in
and all breath was crushed out of his lungs, his sword crushed flat down
against his body as a bone inside his arm cracked loudly and even his spine
threatened to snap like a twig.
“Careful with that pointy thing..." Killer
mocked, grinning as he ground his gigantic balls slowly over the ground,
steamrolling the whimpering king and crushing him deeper down into the
mercifully soft sand, smearing him in absurdly musky, potent, superior
hypermasculine sweat. “Or i'll crush you right under my balls and cut this
short."
Griagas whimpered pathetically, pushing
uselessly against those impossible, omnivirile orbs that barely seemed to
notice his tiny efforts, his puny form hopelessly poking into them for a moment
before it was crushed flat into the sand, trapped beneath their tremendous,
impossible weight.
Killer grinned down at him from his squat:
a towering, herculean incarnation of power, destruction and masculinity who had
to angle his hulking godcock to one side to see the helpless bug beneath, and
that unholy, unfair omnipotence added even greater importance to the liger's
words as the hulk spoke with true indulgence, for the first time. “You are no
coward, Griagas. And you are a good fighter, i can tell. I'm sorry that it came
to this, you know...? Without the RA making this whole mess so serious, and
without you hiding behind your army... i would have gladly spared your life."
“T-thanks." Griagas breathlessly replied, experiencing
genuine relief and gratitude. He didn't protest as Killer concluded: “But i
can't grant you mercy, with what you have done."
“I understand." Griagas sadly mumbled. Oh,
what a pity it was, that his time in the presence of this glorious Alpha was
almost over...! This colossal god among mortals was going to accomplish great
wonders, and he would not be there to cheer him on and drool at the sight of
his triumphs...
Killer squatted a little lower, and those
almighty god-balls crushed deep into the earth of the arena, burying Griagas
alive under the sand as the immense sperm factories rolled mockingly forwards,
ensuring they ground every last inch of him down underground, out of sight.
Then the goliath slowly straightened, standing up and idly stroking his immense
godcock with one huge hand as the crowd cheered and roared and made fun of
Griagas, entombed alive by the weight of Killer's balls alone.
The king dug his way back up out of the
sand, spluttering and coughing and trembling as his nostrils and mind were
filled with nothing but the hypermasculine musk of the beast, which marked his
bare body permanently, indelibly. Such undeserved honor, such blessing bestowed
upon him...!
“Show me some more of what you can
do." Killer teased, leisurely stroking
his goliath cock with one hand while the other rested confidently on his hip.
Griagas hurriedly nodded, shifting back into a ready position even though his
broken arm throbbed painfully and his entire skeleton seemed to beg for mercy,
his bones creaky and damaged from being crushed under the colossus's balls.
Still, he circled the giant, looking for an
opening... and even though Killer wasn't even in a ready position, he knew
there was none. He suddenly charged forwards, cocking his sword back for a vicious
swing, feinting an assault on the giant's left ankle before leaping up high
instead as Killer idly backstepped. Griagas swung his blade out, aiming for the
giant's prodigious abs, but Killer only smirked, and a moment later the older
warrior grunted breathlessly as something heavy, massive, solid and yet liquid
smacked into him like a truck, knocking him back through the air.
He did his best to land on his feet, to
catch himself in a crouch, but the heavy flood of that geyser crushed him down
into the sand and made him skid backwards through it even as he felt his body
glued, stuck to the ground, tied down by heavy, thick, elastic ropes of gunk...
of black, almighty precum, as the crowd roared and cheered while Killer smirked
and idly pumped that enormous cannonade of precum out of his gigantic member.
Griagas was crushed under the flow, heavier
and more powerful than a massive firehose aimed straight at him, and all his
struggling to try and crawl out of the way was useless. Only when the last of
that heavy, unending rope of superior masculinity finally splattered loudly
onto the ground, over him and far past him, he managed to laboriously push up,
glued to the ground by enormous rope of that slick, dense gunk.
Griagas trembled as he saw and felt the
hulking, enormous hypersperms moving all over his body, and he vainly attempted
to scrub the sludgy, potent essence off his body, feeling those arrogant,
aggressive sperm-beasts already pushing against his tailhole, ramming forwards
with merciless force, unconcerned about the drenched fabric of his poor
loincloth being in the way.
Griagas whimpered, standing bow-legged and
trembling as those hulking tyrants of hypermasculinity rammed their way into
his ass, bulging his belly outwards as his poor, pathetic rag of a loincloth
ripped loudly while it was carelessly shoved up inside his ass. Blood leaked
from his poor hole as it was blown open into a crater, obliterated by the
swarming beast-sperms, and he found himself crying tears of awe and despair as
he vainly grabbed handfuls of thick, powerful, spiked sperm-tails, attempting
to yank those hulking runt sperms away from his rear.
The power in those muscular tails! They
whip-lashed into his legs hard enough to leave bruises, to draw blood even as
they trashed angrily in his hands, and he cried out in humiliation and
disbelief as he found himself swinging his sword almost into his own legs as he
cut those tails off. But there were too many, and the beasts were too strong,
and more and more and more and even more kept coming from the river of black
omniviriliy that had blackened an hellish streak through the arena, almost from
end to end.
Griagas whimpered weakly as several of
those mighty sperm-tails began to viciously slash into his shrunken, shrivelled
up raisins of testicles, tormenting him with indescribable agony, and his eyes
bulged with the shocking awareness that those hulking hypersperms were
sentient. Vicious tyrants the lot of them! They very deliberately struck him
where it hurt the most, and they even coiled their tails around his little sack
and his shrivelled, useless dick, choking it, ripping it apart, putting him
through indescribable agony.
He stumbled a couple of steps forwards,
trying to put some distance between himself and the huge rope of black precum
on the ground, but he was drenched in the stuff and his feet were covered in
sludgy essence that glued him to the ground and quickly turned his feet into
thick blocks of dark mud that felt horribly heavy and impossible to walk upon.
The crowd laughed and jeered loudly as he
stumbled miserably around, spasming in agony, back arched and stiff as his
asshole was violated by a twisting horde of hypersperms each two to four times
larger than what would have easily ranked as a porn star big cock. Being
gangraped by his army would have been a less stressing experience.
His eyes
rolled up into his skull, making it hard to even see his adversary, and he
could only stare as Killer waited patiently, smirking indulgently while his hand
stroked, casually, carelessly over his omnipotent member, drawing a concert of whimpers and moans from
the sluts on the terraces as they all stared in awe and desire at that massive,
burgeoning godcock, drooling and begging to touch that supreme monument to
masculinity.
It was an intoxicating sight. It was terrifying and overwhelming, and Griagas
felt his strength further sapped and dissolved away by the thick ,rich musk in
the air as Killer carelessly sent great ropes of dark precum crashing down onto
the ground, immediately replaced by even larger gluts of his essence that
leaked sloppily from his terrible flare and swelled larger and larger, dangling
tantalizingly as he idly jerked off. The sound of that powerful hand moving up
and down the absurd, thick length of god-meat was shocking. It scarred the
mind. it was repulsive, and yet it was also awe-inspiring, incredible, and
Griagas felt longing at the thought of seeing that hulking god conquer the
whole world.
He didn't
want to keep Killer waiting, so he ignored the laughter and catcalls and
stomped his way forwards to attack again, his muscles bulging and straining
just to keep him upright, just to overcome the sticky pull of the beast's
precum. He slashed his sword hard towards Killer's leg, but his movements were
so slowed down that the goliath contemptibly shifted out of the way and then
booted him over like a plastic soldier, sending Griagas crashing onto his back,
coughing blood.
Still, the
warrior turned his fall into a backwards roll and landed in a crouch, taking a
deep breath before bringing his blade down against Killer's outstretched foot,
trying to chop the toes right off, just for the liger to angle his gargantuan
godcock downwards with a snort, swinging that monstrous shaft to the side and
smacking Griagas flying across the arena until he crashed ruinously into the
wall at the far end.
He didn't
hear Killer's mocking comment because his head was full of a deafening, painful
whistle as his skull threatened to implode, his chest filled with burning pain
as several of his ribs were now stabbing inwards, broken like twigs, and his
back screamed in agony from the impact into the wall.
For a long
few moments, he remained stuck to the wall in a broken, awkward sprawl, held up
by the sticky, dense precum that glued him to the stone like he was a fly, and
some of the public on the terrace right ahead leaned over the parapet to look
down at him and throw remains of food against him, jeering.
It seemed
to take ages to his broken bodies to squelch down the wall and crash into the
ground, but when he finally did, Killer had walked up to him, towering and
herculean and glorious, and he smirked indulgently down at him, patronizingly
offering: “I'll grant you a free swing, otherwise you are never going to hit
me…"
The titan
rolled his shoulders and flexed, and his muscles bulged with such power and
sheer mass that Griagas half expected something to rip to shreds. Reality
itself, probably, since the liger was naked and there were no clothes to burst
out of. Griagas stared at the thick white hair on those massive, broad slabs of
pectorals as the ligerbeast arrogantly tilted his head back, grinning teasingly
as he rose his enormous arms and rested his hands behind his head, making his
chiseled abs bulge and flex, while the heavy bushes of hair in his armpits
filled the air with his manly musk., even though he was freshly washed and he
hadn't worked up a single drop of sweat in that “fight".
Griagas
could only tremble in the shadow of the colossus, staring at muscles that made
his own look puny, eyeing cords of veins bulging over mountains of brutal power
that could reshape the world. He struggled up to his feet once more, and cocked
his sword back before accomplishing the mission he always knew he had:
demonstrating Killer's utter superiority. He leapt up and swung his sword hard
into the liger's abs, and as expected the large blade shattered like it was
made of brittle glass, leaving Griagas armed with a laughable stump of blunt
steel while Killer rumbled in entertainment, and then laughed loudly, making
the smaller male whimper and tremble as he clearly felt the vibrations coming
from those enormous pectorals.
He clutched
his pathetic, childish-looking stump of sword close to his emasculated, by now
scrawny chest, and guided by some sort of weird, serene and determined
instinct, he attacked again. Killer backstepped and easily avoided him, but he
kept pursuing the goliath, stabbing uselessly towards his legs and missing as
Killer snickered and easily moved out of the way, before Griagas somehow
managed to find enough force left in his broken body to leap skywards, high
enough to stab his broken sword against the liger's face.
Killer
tilted his head back, arching his back slightly to get out of range, and his
eyes instinctively closed for an instant… and, to the amazement of everyone in
the arena, which suddenly fell silent, the broken blade actually managed to
touch his cheek and nipped upwards through the colossus's eyebrow.
Killer
hissed in irritation and surprise, his left vision turning red as his eye
snapped open and blood from the cut leaked into it… and he cursed under his
breath, wiping his eye clean with the back of one fist while at the same time
almost absently slapping Griagas out of the air with the other hand, sending
him crashing like a meteor into the ground, hard enough that he bounced thrice,
bones loudly shattering with each ruinous impact.
The hulking
titan idly rubbed blood off the tip of his fingers, then snorted in amusement
that had a slightly bitter taste to it. The bleeding immediately stopped as his
usual regeneration healed the insignificant scratch almost in less time than it
had taken to cut it open, yet he immediately, instinctively knew that this puny
wound, of all things, was going to leave a mark. Killer had been wounded,
literally a few hours earlier, by a vicious heavy artillery bombardment and his
body had healed perfectly, without any hint left behind of the damage
sustained. Even more grievous past wounds had healed up leaving behind only
rare scars, most of which weren't immediately apparent on his hide. That puny
scratch was a joke in comparison to any of those past wounds, and yet it was
the one that was going to leave a scar.
Killer
wasn't sure how he knew. Maybe he felt it in the way the wound healed, without
fully closing. Maybe it was his mind telling him, maybe even his body telling
him, deciding it almost consciously, to leave behind a scar that would admonish
him forever not to be such a cocky asshole.
For sure
his warrior upbringing, instinct and past experiences all pointed out to him
that he deserved to get that scar, because he had allowed his arrogance to run
too far. And Killer snorted, shaking his head slowly… before laughing, of and
with himself, his booming, deep laugh rattling the walls as he slowly walked
towards the crater in which Griagas's sore, broken body was sprawled.
“I've
fought in every corner of this world. I've been hit by cannonades, bombarded by
jets, shelled by artillery and it all has barely left a mark on me… and I end
up getting a scar from this joke of a fight, against a bug I could have
squished under my balls." Killer said, and the whole arena was silent,
breathless as the crowd listened and waited to see the colossus's reaction.
Griagas, on his part, only let out a pathetic lament of agony as every little
movement caused his damaged bones to crack audibly, as blood leaked out of his
mouth and nostrils and every inch of his form burned with indescribable pain.
“It serves
me right." Killer serenely sentenced, smirking a bit. “Serves me right for
playing around too much. The old sayings cautions against it, do they not…? The
lion uses all its strength even to kill a rabbit, they say… Now, using all of
my strength on you would clearly be a war crime, but I should have used at
least a little bit."
Griagas
trembled at the bottom of the bloodied crater, thinking that the colossus had
used more than enough strength as it was… and he looked up, up, up to see the
fresh scar over Killer's left eye. If anything, it added to his handsomeness,
he found, and made him even more terrifying.
Of-fucking-course.
That walking god was only ever going to grow stronger and better and more
superior, was he not…? Griagas forced a trembling little smile on his face,
spluttering out: “It looks great on you."
It was
clearly a sincere statement, not a taunt. It sounded adoring, almost loving. And
it made Killer snort in genuine entertainment. “Thank you. In some ways, I owe
you. This will remind me that bugs can sting, and sometimes it really hurts."
The hulking titan paused, then kicked some dust over the broken king, idly
urging: “Get up and try again, if you have it in you. Or I'll crush you like
the gnat you are."
Griagas was
broken in ways he couldn't even understand, but he couldn't ignore an order of
the Alpha, so he laboriously forced himself up once again, biting into his
lower lip hard enough to draw blood as the bones in his legs cracked audibly.
He wobbled weakly forwards, proving once more the courage and strength that he
possessed in the deep, and he held up his childish stump of sword, sluggishly
attempting to stab into the colossus's shin.
Killer
reached down with a huge hand and grabbed him, hefting him into the air like an
helpless, blind puppy, the liger's huge hand clamping over his whole head and
much of his chest, making him gargle as blood spurted out of even his ears, his
whole torso feeling like it would burst apart in the goliath's grip.
The hulking
god rumbled in his chest, flexed his huge musculature and pulled back one
massive fist… but then he slowly moved it forwards again, all but leaning his
massive knuckles against Griagas's caved-in abs as he growled: “Fuckin'
pathetic…"
Killer
barely even moved, his immense muscles barely even tensed at all, but to
Griagas it was like an entire planet had fallen down from the sky and smacked
into his belly. He was smashed flying bonelessly through the arena until he
crashed into the perimeter wall, hard enough to dislodge the huge blocks of
stone even as his entire skeleton seemed to audibly crumble away to powder, as
a fountain of blood and bile burst out of his mouth, eyes bulging open and feet
kicked uselessly at the air while he literally sunk into the granite, the liger's tremendous strength cracking the
wall and rattling seemingly the whole island.
Griagas
collapsed with a breathless wheeze into the crater his back had created in the
wall, his muscular limbs twitching helplessly and looking like thin twigs next
to the huge, herculean arms of the behemoth male, who growled in a mix of delight
and frustration at the same time as he walked leisurely up to him, slowly
balling one huge hand into a fist.
Griagas's
bloodshot eyes stared at the immense knuckles with something like gratitude,
knowing they were the End, an inevitable conclusion not just to his life but to
his existence, because that fist would surely cancel even the atoms of his
being…
But then
fear took over and he instinctively closed his eyes as the immense fist moved
forwards… and slammed into the stone wall right next to his head, smashing
through granite and concrete like it was sand and rattling the entire arena as
Killer rumbled: “This is the problem with meatbags like you… you are too weak.
Too frail. I can't even hit you properly without the game coming to an end…"
The hulking male let out a growl, steam blasting out of his nostrils as he
crushed a large fragment of stone into powder before grabbing his monstrous
godcock, stroking his tremendous length, kneading the thick beast as he added:
“It's hard to control myself… hard to keep something so fragile in one piece…
hard to remember myself that just because I can crush you like ants, it doesn't
mean it is right to do so…"
The hulking
colossus flexed, and his muscles bulged with… gods, so much power. Griagas
couldn't imagine anything that could possibly resist to the strength that
filled those swelling mountains of male, and that the liger was trying hard to contain, to restrain within less
destructive limits.
That
glorious sight dragged him down to the ground harder than gravity itself ever
could, and he flopped bonelessly in front of the giant, watching with sick
anticipation as Killer beckoned to his wife with a finger, and the queen almost
ran forwards, hurrying to him.
Nike
collapsed to her knees before the Alpha, turning her back to her defeated
husband and almost sitting down on his bloodied, ruined face, sticking her ass
out in a cruel tease and giving Griagas a glimpse of her glistening sex, of her
dripping, blossomed labia that she had been toying hard with. She smelled of
desire, of need, and Griagas felt tears running down his cheeks but, at the
same time, felt almost happy for it: a happy fucktoy for that walking god.
Could she even aspire to a greater blessing…?
The queen
eagerly dived towards the hulking male's toes, but Killer's huge hand seized
her by the head before she could get down there, and she whimpered happily as
the giant effortlessly hefted her high up into the air until they were eye to
eye. Killer smirked and leaned forwards slightly, and Nike eagerly opened her mouth
to receive his greedy kiss, happy to choke on his thick tongue as it invaded
her jaws and teasingly pushed towards her throat. Killer's other hand grabbed
her burning loins, fingers teasingly feeling the wetness and eagerness of her
passage, and that little touch was enough to make her shudder as an orgasm
squirted out of her, raining hot nectar all over her broken husband.
Killer
rumbled in entertainment into the greedy kiss, looking down into her eyes as
they bulged with amazement, ecstasy and anticipation, and he mockingly settled
one huge foot upon Griagas, compressing his broken form into the sand and
making him cry weakly out while desperately trying to peek through Killer's
thick toes to look up at the scene.
Killer
finally pulled back from the sloppy kiss, licking his lips with a tongue that
was almost devilish for dexterity and size, and Nike let out a little whimper
of regret, almost chasing after that thick muscle, wanting more attention and
abuse from it. “We will have time to know each other better, Nike…" Killer
reassured, and gods, his deep voice was so handsome and seductive when he put
just that little note of tease into it. “You will be my new alarm clock. Every
morning you will crawl to me and suck my cock to wake me up." He added, and the
note of playful command in his tone was enough to make Nike's hips buck hard,
toes curling as she orgasmed again, nodding as best she could while his thick
fingers held her aloft by the skull, like he was holding an orange.
“Y-yes,
Master. Everything you desire is Law." The queen assured, and Killer grinned
and gave a slight nod of exaggerated agreement, before he grinned as he almost
callously buried a thick finger inside her sopping sex, beginning to twist and
twirl and thrust it inside of her, making her pant-scream as her legs spasmed,
thighs grinding together and hips bucking wildly as he idly drilled orgasm
after orgasm out of her cunt.
Griagas
shivered beneath the warm rain of her lust, staring with wide open eyes as
Killer's finger expertly played inside her clenching passage, making it explode
nectar out in great bursts as the tigress's eyes rolled up and her toes curled
almost comically, her hips bucking hard. One, two, four, eight, she was wrecked
by a succession of squirting orgasms that made it look like her water had
broken as she helplessly hugged her big pregnant belly, and the broken king
could only stare as Killer effortlessly hefted Nike higher up, tilting his head
back and opening his jaws wide to drink down some of that deluge of lust,
droplets of pearly nectar rolling down his masculine pecs as he rumbled in
pleasure.
Nike moaned
in helpless, stunned gratitude, writhing, shuddering, half-curling up in midair
as her hands slid down her belly and weakly pushed against his huge hand,
begging respite from that succession of wrecking climaxes… and Killer grinned
and finally dropped her down on top of her broken husband, who let out a cry of
agony as her weight settled upon his shattered form. Killer slowly squatted
down over them, casting darkness over their huddled bodies, his hulking mass
making it look like the sky was falling, his terrifying godcock a monument, an
obelisk, a tower, a skyscraper of hypervirility that dwarfed both of their
bodies, leaning slightly, mocking over them and letting them feel a fraction of
its calamitous weight. It could have crushed them both out of existence with
its hulking mass, and Griagas would have been helpless to prevent it. He wrestled
his way out from beneath Nike and grabbed into the barbed flare, struggled to
push it off them, his muscles spasming with the effort, his bones crying, and
all his strength was barely enough to budge that monstrous cockhead… assuming
it was him at all: the monstrous member bulged and flexed, bouncing with
supreme vigor as the huge veins pumped omnipotent power through that godly
virility.
“I see that
asking you to help guide my cock to your wife's cunt would be a waste of time."
Killer mocked, as Griagas vainly struggled beneath the apocalyptic weight of
that unrivalled cock. Terrified by the thought that the god-king was going to
squish them both like gnats under his cock alone, Griagas was struggling to get
on all fours, shielding Nike's bulging, twitching belly with his body, sobbing
in panic and grunting as he arched his back and attempted to push up with all
four of his limbs to forcibly heft those literal tons of black, sweaty
male-meat as it rested mockingly across his back. “Come on, push, faggot!"
Killer mocked, lowering himself a bit further, balls already dragging heavily
on the ground as the throbbing godcock settled some more of its brutal weight
upon the two bodies, and Griagas let out a whimpering cry, flushing in
humiliation and gasping as his limbs spasmed and gave and he collapsed atop
Nike, over her belly, feeling the vulnerable lives moving in terror inside it,
before his eyes bulged as one of Killer's huge hands reached down and teasingly
squeezed upon that pregnant bulge, his deep voice rumbling: “They know their
time is up."
Griagas's
eyes filled with tears as he gasped breathlessly as the immense godcock
suddenly leaned down harder, making his spine creak ominously… but then Killer
shifted onto his knees, legs spread out in a v, huge godcock rising off them as
the hulking male leisurely stroked his immensity, blasting out a cannonade of
precum that arched high over the terraces of the arena.
Griagas
sobbed brokenly under that beast of a cock, trembling as Killer effortlessly
shoved him down and then hefted Nike on top of him again, keeping his earlier
promise: he would fuck her right on top of him.
Nike panted
in anticipation and need, spreading her legs wide as she rested atop her broken
husband, her ass on his chest, her blossomed sex right above his face,
radiating incredible heat, pulsing visibly, soaked labia bulging out in welcome
as juices sprayed out of her in a fountain, washing down Griagas's bloodied,
smashed face. He drank of the scent of her lust, shivering at the intensity of
that perfume and daring to lick up a couple drops of her nectar, bitterly
thinking that she had never gifted him such ambrosia in their years together…
and then he nearly choked as everything became darkness and potent masculinity
as the liger's sweaty monster of a cock pushed in, blotting out the sky,
filling all of Griagas's vision, all of his senses.
“Spread
that shit wide!" Killer mockingly commanded, and Griagas nodded, even though
the hulking male could not see it as he was completely eclipsed beneath the
mass of that tower of cock, so wide and broad that it looked like a freight
train positioned in front of an olive. Griagas whimpered pathetically but
blindly reached up to push his hands against Nike's inner thighs, spreading her
legs wider, his thumbs hooking rudely into her soaked passage and spreading it
open, yanking on the walls of her cunt almost viciously.
What a
ludicrous effort! In comparison to that brutal battering ram of cunt-destroying
sizes, to that glorious flare, that poor mousehole, however stretched,
continued to look like a tiny fissure.
Killer
leaned forwards, mounting both of their bodies, dwarfing them as he grabbed her
ankles and forced her legs back, splaying her like a toy, and the whole arena
fell silent as he thrust powerfully forwards, snorting steam from his nostrils
as his monstrous cockhead rammed into her gates. Her poor vagina helplessly
flexed, gaping wide open thanks to her husband's effort and clenching with
desire, wanting him, but at the same time it flinched in terror as that
monstrous flare dwarfed her opening and punched into her whole groin. Nike
screamed for Killer, eyes bulging as she felt her cunt stretching even wider,
forced to open up to unholy, unnatural, unhealthy proportions as her whole body
was shoved backwards like a toy.
“Hold her
still, you faggot!" Killer rumbled, before a monstrous cannonade of black
precum erupted up her stretched-out cunt, cruelly stretching its way into the
slut and smacking into her cervix with brutal force, knocking the breath out of
her lungs and making her eyes bulge as that unending deluge of hypermasculinity
flooded her womb, filling it with monstrous gigasperms that dwarfed the
helpless pups inside her.
Griagas
whimpered at the shocking sight and at the terrible feeling of trashing,
writhing, wrestling inside her rapidly bloating belly as the gargantuan sperms
brutalized his unborn heirs. Black, omnipotent cocksludge flooded out of her
bloating body, washing back out of her flexing cunt even as it was corked by
the monstrous flare of the liger, who only snarled in dark delight and thrust
again. That monumental cock was so hard, so firm, and the flex of his member so
powerful, that it ripped inside of her, ruthlessly bulldozing its way forwards,
cruelly stretching the slut into a cocksleeve.
Blood
spurted out into Griagas's gaping mouth and over his face as Nike threw her
head back with a breathless scream as she was stretched; and that was just the
tip of his colossal cockhead. Killer was merciless and unstoppable and drove
forwards with another mighty thrust, and Griagas sobbed while vainly attempting
to keep Nike steady, his fingers clawing into her thighs as he yanked her
towards him, trying to balance the overwhelming force of the godcock shoving
her in the opposite direction. Griagas struggled like he was wrestling a bear,
arching his back and gritting his teeth, his eyes shocked by the sight of that
huge black obelisk forcing its way into that tiny, bloodied, obliterated hole,
vainly trying to keep his wife in place, preventing her slipping away from the
monstrous invader godcock.
And in all
of that, he knew that Killer was just playing with them both.
“Useless
faggot…" Killer mocked, snorting steam from his nostrils, and he reached down
with a huge, powerful hand that easily clamped down not only on Nike's neck,
but on her ankles at the same time, her feet locked down past her head as she
shrieked in a mix of disbelieving ecstasy and agony, her cunt spraying hot
nectar mixed with blood high up into the air while she was pinned in place, the
colossus's grip more unmovable than a mountain. Killer rammed forwards another
thrust, grinning and licking his lips as he drove that steel tower down into
Nike, rumbling as he felt her body, now pinned in place, surrendering to his
overwhelming power, giving, stretching. He felt her vagina tearing, spreading,
stretching horrifically open, blood lubing his girth as he pile drove his
immensity inside her deforming body, and finally the hulking flare squelched
its way inside, her obliterated hole helplessly closing up around the neck of
his immense shaft.
Killer
rumbled in delight as he pulled his hips easily backwards, rising a bit higher,
and Nike screamed as she literally hung upside down from his godcock, stuck
upon the immense flare that sustained her entire body weight like she was just
a plastic toy.
“Fuck
yeah…" Killer hissed, eyes sliding closed as he savored the spectacular mix of
feelings, especially as the head of his cock was teased and massaged and
stimulated by a thousand different movements as his own colossal hypersperms
whipped and twisted and twirled inside her overfilled womb and what was left of
her unborn children trashed in panic and bumped into his cockhead, vainly
struggling towards a safety that did not exist. Killer rolled his shoulders in
delight, muscles flexing as he reveled in the sensations and basked in his own
absurd strength, before he grabbed Nike by the face and smacked her head down
into the sand, pinning her down with a growl and yanking his godcock out with a
lurid, shocking, terrifying wet pop.
Griagas's
mind revolted as blood and precum and ichors and fluids flooded down over his
face, his eyes bulging at the shocking sight of Nike's vagina prolapsing out in
a broken mess, gaping wide, smashed into a crater that gaped so wide that the
broodspawn inside her immediately started to slip out, grotesque, bloodied,
broken little dolls strangled and massacred by the muscular tails of sperms
much stronger and larger than them. One little arm flopped out, limp and
useless, the young bones inside crushed to dust, and Griagas saw an head
crumpled like an overripe tomato, and another little body literally crushed
into halves by the savagery of long sperm tails that clamped down on it… That
grotesque mess was about to tumble out of the gaping crated, but Killer laughed
darkly and plunged his cock down, the bloodstained flare crushing that
monstrous mess back inside her and corking her stretched-out hole tightly as
the liger rammed back inside her, rumbling in delight in time with an horrific
cacophony of squelching and crunching as he ground those unborn lives completely
out of existence.
A disgusting rain of black and crimson ruin
leaked down over Griagas's shocked face as the monster of a liger bulldozed its
way in: that godcock smashed its way through her depths and crunched into what
little remained of the life that had been growing within her. Killer tilted his
head back, baring his fangs in a cruel grin as her body bulged and bloated with
the visible shape of his monstrous cock, his flare swelling her womb far larger
than her pregnancy ever had, making the queen howl out, delirious and spasming.
Griagas trembled beneath her, crushed,
sunken into the sand, broken and staring up at that savage violation, watching
with empty eyes as the giant, the god, the monster leaned forwards, growling as
he forced more of his cock into his wife, having used just a fraction of his
terrifying sizes. Her belly bulged grotesquely, filled not only with his cock
but with a sloshing mass of dark precum, blood, ichors and pulped ruins of the
destroyed lives, with all that gunk trapped inside her by the liger's brutal
girth leaving not even a millimetre for the fluids to streak out... at least
until he growled and yanked violently backwards as he began to piston himself
in and out, as he started to fuck her, sending out lurid spurts of not only
nectar, but blood and ruin out of that obliterated, overstretched, broken cunt,
who screamed again and again, howling her broken breath out as she foamed at
the mouth and spasmed violently.
Killer flexed and thrust again, beginning
to build up his pace as he pistoned his massive member into her, cruelly
grinding those frail lives into mush, his hands shifting down to her belly,
squeezing into it to feel the spasms and twitches that wrecked her bloated,
deformed body, grinning as he felt the crunching and the weak flailing within
as what was left of those unborn still vainly struggled, as if trying to hide,
as if trying to push back against that gigantic flare. There was no shelter, no
salvation, no hope for them as his cock bulged inside her clenching passage,
growing even fatter, harder, massive and brutal as it ground those tiny bodies
into pulp, ruthlessly scraping and tearing and squishing and mulching them
against her inner walls.
The public on the terraces moaned and
gasped and occasionally screamed, but the main emotions were shock and awe as
concubines and cucks alike stared at the massive, powerful body of the hulking
alpha, at his eyes burning with power and dominance and pleasure as he rammed
down into her again and again and again. He wasn't even halfway into her, but
his monstrous godcock was already bulging her entire body out of shape, his
colossal cockhead bulging out in cruel definition through even her bulging
belly, ramming up into her chest, into the underside of her large, lactating
breasts, bouncing her tits from within as her ribs creaked and were pushed
visibly outwards.
Blood and dark ichors and ruin spurted out of Nike's clenching, devastated sex
as loud crunches muffled and squelched their way out of the blown-apart womb of
the queen as Nike rocked her head helplessly from side to side, jaws gaping as
she gasped out shrieks that came out as whispers as his cock crushed the air
out of her very lungs.
Griagas cried weakly, trembling and doing his best to suffocate laments of
agony as the colossus's mighty thrusts pounded through his wife and into him,
crushing him into the ground, punishing his already broken body and threatening
to shatter him like a porcelain doll, his whole body spasming and burning with
agony. And yet his tiny, emasculated cock throbbed, ached, burned with sick
arousal in front of that stunning display, and every few moments Griagas
writhed helplessly as his now useless member shamefully sprayed out tiny
streaks of watery, impotent cum that were nothing more than a tribute to the
hulking Alpha's utter superiority. Thankfully, such pitiful offerings went
unnoticed as they vanished into the boiling, steaming, churning bog of thick
black precum flooding sloppily out of Nike's destroyed sex. That dense black
Alpha gunk glued Griagas and Nike together and stuck them to the ground like
flies while it visibly, ominously throbbed with the size and vigor of the
liger's huge, mutant spermbeasts.
Griagas could feel those colossal sperms moving inside his bulging belly, sore
hands tremblingly touching over a stomach that bulged as those tyrant invaders
pushed up from his bleeding, gaping ass, as more and more of those hulking
mutant beasts cruelly bulldozed their way inside him, wrestling and wrangling
with their siblings.
“Having fun, faggot...?" Killer mockingly
asked, and the older tiger mewled pitifully, looking up with reverent, meek
eyes as if a leash of invisible but immense force had just squeezed around his
neck. “Watch how it's done." Killer teased, and Griagas hurriedly nodded,
obedient and submissive, shivering beneath a rain of blood and nectar and
precum as the mighty liger continued to jackhammer short but powerful, brutal
thrusts in and out of the bulging, gurgling, deformed body of the queen.
Griagas could only stare upwards, wincing and crying as blood and chunky ruin
splattered down over his face, frantically scooping handfuls of thick black
Alpha precum out of his bloodshot eyes, doing his best to keep them open, to
prevent his eyelids from being glued closed by that sticky, mighty sludge.
Killer seized Nike by the hips as he slammed himself into her over and over
again, relentless, unstoppable, powerful, fucking her hard and fast, stretching
her whole body out of shape with that massive member as her pregnant belly
clenched and twitched visibly, horrifically, as its content was destroyed,
obliterated, maimed, ground into liquid waste as the godcock-head of the
liger's shaft pushed its way out in cruel definition from her chest, forcing
her breasts unnaturally far apart as her rips threatened to rip through her own
skin, stretched and forced outwards by his monstrous girth.
Nike's head swung back and forth, bonelessly, bouncing in time with his
thrusts as her jaws gaped, her tongue lolled stupidly out, her eyes rolled up
in her skull, drool flew in strings and ropes from her maw as she gurgled and
spluttered breathless words of awe and praise, and Killer grinned and flexed,
leaning forwards as he mercilessly buried his cock a bit deeper inside her,
hands greedily squeezing into the sides of his immense member through a thin
layer of her stretched-out body, the hulking male using her like a onahole, a
toy. Blood spurted thickly out of her clenching, madly-orgasming sex and
reached far enough to splatter across Killer's crotch, staining his forest of
thick pubes as the last desecrated vestiges of the life that had been inside
her pregnant belly were obliterated, ground into chunky lube, into slushy jelly.
Splatters of crimson mixed with her lust and amniotic fluids squelched loudly
out around his prodigious girth, squeezing laboriously out whenever his
gargantuan cock ripped itself backwards out of her as the gigantic alpha-god
ravaged the frail life that had been so close to coming into the world.
Life that was weak and puny in comparison
to the brutal vigor of his endless horde of god-generating hypersperms, which
already swelled her belly larger than it had ever been before, as Killer's mere
precum festered with such shocking amounts of vigorous, superior Life.
Griagas's erased sons wouldn't have been able to hold a candle to the
Alpha-studs that were going to be born now. A superior brood of hulking ligers.
“Say it, bitch!" Killer rumbled, seizing Nike by the neck and steadying her for
a moment just so she could watch him in the eyes and immediately gasp out:
“Destroy t-them! S-scrape that s-shit out! G-give me your superior, invincible
brood"
“That's right!" Killer callously approved, rumbling in delight as he gyrated
his hips, grinding his cock inside her, slowly, deliberately ensuring there
wasn't a single haven for any of Griagas's ruined lineage to continue soiling
her wrecked womb. That huge tower of godcock crushed and crunched and squished
the soft helpless meat, and the giant of a ligerbeast let his head fall
forwards with a grin as his hands crushed down on her belly and squeezed into
his behemoth member, working her poor body like he was squeezing the last bit
of toothpaste out of an empty tube.
Killer jerked Nike up and down his giant
shaft like she was just a stretched condom his cock had shredded and blown into
a new, broken shape, and a rivuled of revolting ruin leaked out of her
quivering cunt, washing down over Griagas's shocking face and chest... before
Nike gurgled loudly and suddenly vomited a thick gush of the same vile mixture
of fluids and pulped gore, before Killer threw his head back with a savage grin
and clamped one hand around her stretched-out body, holding her tightly wrapped
around his girth as a great load of his precum surged up along his monstrous
shaft... and finally erupted inside her, visibly bulging her body, filling it
up, and then choking her loudly until thick black gunk exploded out of her
nostrils and fired out of her jaws in a glorious geyser, a cannonade, a solid,
thick rope of precum that tore through her from end to end and flew across the
arena.
Killer stood up now, unfazed by the
insignificant weight of the tigress worn like a ripped condom over his shaft,
and he snorted and growled like a beast as he began to grind forwards, slamming
forth harder, rougher, faster thrusts, pistoning himself mercilessly in and out
of that toy of a body as his mastodon member throbbed, flexed within her body,
threatening to shred her apart. Her breasts bounced wildly upon her bulging,
deformed chest, his huge cock ramming savagely up all the way into her chest,
displacing her organs, reshaping her insides, bulldozing its way inside her
helpless body as she hung from his cock, limbs dangling limply, jaws wide open
as thick precum blasted out of her mouth, forcing her to vomit pulped gore of
her unborn litter literally out of her jaws.
The ligerbeast spread his legs wider and
snorted steam from his nostrils as he pistoned himself into her harder and
faster, eyes glowing with hungeras his cock bulged and thrummed with power,
with lust, with savagery as he recklessly pounded her body, jerking her whole
form up and down his brutal shaft.
His shocking girth ripped through her,
punching her body out of shape, bloating her grotesquely as he thrust furiously
up inside her, throwing his head back with a rumble of pleasure and ignoring
both her helpless, constant orgasms and her vain, gurgling, choking attempts to
scream, as much as he ignored the stunned, terrified awe of the cuck watching
up from the ground in which he had been crushed almost to a pulp.
Faster, harder, faster, harder, his rhythm
building up in a relentless display of power and savage hunger as he rammed
deep into her, hands roughly crushing her bulging, precum-overfilled body down
aroung his girth, roaring in furious pleasure as he gritted his fangs and
clenched his eyes shut while his pistoning became a vicious jackhammer. It
looked like Nike would burst apart like a balloon at any moment as his
impossible, prodigious godshaft bulged her from clenching, ruined sex all the
way up between her breasts, fucking her boobs from within as his brutal flare
visibly rammed up pretty much to her throat, sending precum exploding out of
her jaws in glorious, unholy cannonades of black gunk.
And then the Alpha roared, triumphantly,
claiming them all as his property, as his toys as the first cataclysmic
eruption of his semen blasted inside her, immediately ballooning her body even
further as her whole form shock with the force of it, even as unholy, fearsome
amounts of thick Alpha gunk burst out of her obliterated cunt, out of her
mouth, her nostrils, even her flexing ass.
His hands clamped hard upon her hips,
holding her in place, nailing him to his cock as that first, impossible blast
of hypermasculine supremacy lasted for an uninterrupted eternity, literally
tens of seconds before giving way to a second great cannonade of seed that made
Griagas whimper, his eyes bulging at the way Killer's humongous balls visibly
churned and swelled and recoiled with each of those luridly excessive, overkill
demonstrations of supremacy.
The huge Alpha finally let go of Nike, not
a moment too soon, and she was fired away by the next giant blast of cum, sent
crashing down to the ground as blast after immense blast followed, as Killer
arched his back and leisurely aimed those meteors of hypersperm up across the terraces,
washing down his people in his omnipotence, in the opulence of his superior
masculinity. Black streaks of omnipotent cum draped themselves across the
arena, drenching countless bodies, baptizing his new people in the cult of
their new god, and Griagas stared in bashful awe, thinking that there could not
be a more glorious and powerful blessing over the future of the kingdom.
That lurid demonstration of power lasted
for such an eternity that Griagas was able to brokenly crawl through the
sticky, cum-covered sand to where Nike had crashed, and was now resting,
coughing and spluttering, vomiting thick, omnipotent load while pinned down
under the monstrous weight of a belly that bulged with an unholy fill of
superior sperm.
Thick, sticky dark gunk splashed out of her
overfilled body, flooding out of her cunt as she trembled, her body spasming
out of control, limbs twitching, chest shaking violently. He was shocked by the
cascades of dense cum rushing out of her, thick rushes of black, gluey gunk that
spread out in bog, a lake, a sea around her broken body. It took a while for
that blackness to become mixed with splatters of ugly colors: crimson, and
pinkish chunks, and visceral colors that stained that steaming masculinity as
her body flexed, her back arching, her sex weakly yet callously pushing out
what little remained of the aborted, obliterated life she had carried. A stew
of unrecognizable wreckage spilled out of her, finally including some chunky,
ugly ruin visible in the great, endless flow of dark, sticky cum.
That was all that remained of his
lineage... and as more black cum kept rushing out of the twitching slut, even
that little was lost, cancelled forever, buried under thick layers of superior
maleness. He felt Killer walking up to them. Felt him in the way the ground
trembled and seemed to cower in fear of the giant. Felt it in the way Nike
whimpered in time with the god's steps, greeting each one with a little squirt
of nectar from her cunt, rejoicing at the coming of her master and divinity...
and he shivered violently, then turned to stare weakly up at the liger,
shrinking on himself to avoid a massive, dangling rope of black precum and
great splotches that pattered heavily to the ground as Killer leisurely stroked
his immense member.
That glorious cock, undiminished and
unrivaklled, beautifully sweaty, horribly stained with blood and ruin,
gloriously drenched in his own potent semen...
God, it was so massive. So immense, so
divine. So much larger than should have been possible. A scptre meant to rule
and ruin every womb on the planet. Griagas stared, trembling, mouth working
helplessly, drool dangling in strings from his mouth as he shivered in the
shadow of the colossus. His diminished, sore dick once more betrayed him,
throbbing weakly and cumming, spitting out a pitiful splatter of nothing that
seemed to literally vaporize before even touching the ground. Ground that had
turned black with the omnivirility of the ligerbeast, which continued to wash
out of the destroyed, gaping crater of Nike's sex.
“That was refreshing." Killer commented,
smirking as he looked down at the helpless “king" with a snort. Griagas didn't
even know what to stare at anymore, and kept turning from the masculine glory
looming above to the grotesque destruction of his wife's obliterated sex. He
drooled in helpless fear and awe at the godly cock, at that titanic,
bloodstained tower that was taller than him and that throbbed with savage
hunger still, and undiminished power.
And then he stared at the tremendous devastation,
the wreckage that the black fleshed goliath, or better, less than half of it!
Had left behind: Nike's once beautiful sex now was a grotesque crater, a dam
that had been smashed to bits, the entrance to an infernal absyss populated by
monsters. Hellish beasts that were Killer's huge hypersperms, twisting and
whip-lashing into the dark, gluey, dense cum that continued to pour out of her
bloated, overfilled body, streaking down her ass, coating her thighs, streaming
out to join the steadily-spreading bog of masculinity that was flooding the
arena.
“Ops! I might
have impregnated your wife...! Quick, cuck, suck that cum out!" Killer
mockingly urged, and Griagas stupidly nodded and scurried over to her
obliterated cunt, embarking in that ridiculously hopeless enterprise while the
public on the terraces of the arena burst into laughter.
He didn't care about Nike anymore. She was
just a slut.
No. No, that was not true. She was much
better than just “a slut". She was just _another
one of Killer's sluts_. And that made her important. That made her hot. She
was just a fucktoy the Alpha might in any moment decide to impale on his cock
and completely rip to shreds, and that made her more glorious than she had ever
been as queen.
And he was no king, Griagas thought. He was
just a faggot, mind-broken by the musk, by the power, by the omnipotence of the
hulking liger. He was a cuck who had already been stripped of everything
valuable, who had nothing else to gift to his Master. That made him the lowest
of vermin. The least valuable form of life on earth.
He whimpered sincere thanks to the titan
for still blessing him with some undeserved attention, and then buried his face
forwards into that bubbling, throbbing cauldron of thick black cum, kissing the
thrumming surface of the bog and crying out his gratitude to his glorious god
before plunging his face inside that gaping cunt, into that thick load that was
so dense he struggled to push his features in. Thick black floods, gluey and
dense, baptized him and streaked down his broken body as he ground eagerly
forwards and pushed his head into her prolapsed, obliterated cunt. It fit with
ease. Her ravaged walls were nowhere to be felt.
He didn't do it for Nike, but for Killer,
and for the pleasure of feeling that unmatched essence of masculinity washing
down across his body, even as huge, powerful sperms reacted to his presence
with annoyance, slapping at his face with thick, powerful tails that bruised
him like whips, as he felt those monsters wriggle against him. What a privilege
it was, to feast on that potent gunk, and upon the ruin of the life that Killer
had crushed out of existence with his cock alone...!
Killer grinned, leisurely stroking his
immense member while the cuckold drank greedily, sucked and licked and slurped,
diving his face into the thick, wet mess in the gaping sex of the broken
tigress, who lay sprawled in a barely-conscious haze, drooling helplessly, body
broken by the liger's powerful thrusts.
Griagas's puny dick throbbed and
uncontrollably released its submissive, meek excitement, spraying little,
pathetic strings of white that became more and more watery with every go. They
failed to even stain the impenetrable blackness of the bog of Killer's black
semen, which boiled and throbbed with the hordes of giant sperms inside.
Killer put his hands behind his head and
grinned, sweaty muscles gleaming gloriously, as if polished and oiled, and he
idly settled one heavy foot on Griagas, crushing his head a bit deeper into the
destroyed womb of the queen, ruined and savaged beyond repair, but nonetheless
filled with shocking amounts of life by his omnivirile hypersperms. She was
ruined for everyone but him: her womb destroyed, her sex ruined and gaping
horribly loose... no other man would ever be able to even fuck that broken and
gaping crater. To him? She was always going to feel tight and warm. And he
would never have any problem filling her with his spawn.
Finally, Killer moved back his foot,
allowing Griagas to resurface with a breathless gasp, frantically trying to
scoop thick cum out of his mouth and nostrils to take in some desperately
needed air... before Killer idly punted him with his foot to make him turn
around.
“Lick me clean, faggot." The giant easily
commanded, angling his titanic, blood-and-black stained godcock downwards, and
the broken king got to work with a happy little cry of gratitude, even as he
licked up the ruin of his lineage, the blood of his ruined wife, the bitter,
potent masculinity of his conqueror.
Killer looked down at the older tiger with a snort, tilting his head to the
side with an amused smirk as, without any need for encouragement, Griagas began
to lick up chunky ruin from between the cruel barbs of the liger's mastodon
flare, polishing the golden rings with his tongue, and mockingly commented:
“Aren't you an eager little cocksucker...?"
Killer seized Griagas by the short hair and
roughly guided his worshipful movements, dragging him around the shocking girth
of his flare and grinding his features into the bloodied, steel-hard cock...
but he quickly tired of wasting time with the faggot, and so let go of his
colossal shaft, allowing it to ponderously swing upwards, hard and eager for
more. Griagas let out a little whimper, knowing that his time had come, and he
went limp as the beast effortlessly hefted him up into the air, turning him
around and smacking him face-first into the stone wall.
“Too bad i'm not interested in training
another faggot cocksucker. You had potential." Killer taunted, crushing the far
smaller male into the wall as he snorted steam, grinding his massive, muscular
form against his back, flexing powerfully and making Griagas cry out in agony
as his frail, broken body was squished against the cold stone... which felt
softer somehow than the godlike muscles bulging like tires behind and all
around him.
Killer's monstrous cock pulsated with
godlike power as it ground slowly up along Griagas's back, leaving a trail of
precum, blood and disgusting ruin across the king's form.
Griagas spasmed helplessly, eyes bulging in horror as his hands vainly
clawed at the wall as that huge, monster godcock ground its way down his spine,
feeling like it would crush him flat as a pancake with its mass alone. Tears
rolled down his cheeks as he mouthed silent little words of... praise. Almost
of gratitude, despite the fear swelling in his chest.
Killer hauled him higher by the scalp, grinding him against the rough
stone as he hefted him up until Griagas found himself literally sitting upon
the monstrous, unforgiving flare of the liger's hulking cock, which sustained
his entire body weight like it was nothing. Griagas gaped with a soundless cry,
eyes bulging in shock as he realized just how truly monstrously massive that
flare truly was, and Killer wrapped huge hands around his thighs, making his
legs look like thin twigs as the beast growled and yanked him down while
ramming upwards mercilessly with his powerful hips.
Griagas shrieked in agony as that immense
cock ripped up against his asshole. No matter how much it gaped, how much it
had been ripped and stretched open by the hypersperms raping him en masse, it
was still just a tiny mousehole while that freight train of a cock bulldozed
its way forwards, smashing ruthlessly into his tailhole, savaging his anus,
tearing it wide open, obliterating his very groin as it crumpled his buttocks
into a caved-in crater. A nightmarish, bloody destruction.
He threw his head back with a shriek of
agony that came out as more of a gurgle, his whole body already bulging with
the size of his godcock as it purched up inside his body, making him bulge like
the helpless cocksleeve he was around that enormity.
Griagas spasmed and cried, drooling
helplessly from jaws that gaped in shock, his face and body smacking painfully
into the wall as the hulking alpha savagely rammed his tower of cock inside his
depths. He attempted to crawl away, claws tearing uselessly at the stone in
front of him as he felt himself being fucked into the solid wall like a nail
being pounded through soft wood.
Blood, ichor and pulped filth spurted and
spewed out around that brutal girth, staining that obelisk of hypervirility as
it smashed deeper inside him, and Killer snarled like a beast, grinning in
ferocious delight as his hands gripped that frail, bulging, helpless body and
grinding it into the wall as his cock pounded upwards inside him with such
savage force that that bulge in his belly slammed against the stone wall hard
enough to crack it.
Griagas spluttered and coughed in helpless
agony, blood spilling out of his mouth as his insides were reshaped, destroyed,
rearranged. Killer grabbed the back of his skull in one huge hand and slammed
his face hard into the wall, rumbling in entertainment as that beast of a cock
pulsed with power, bulging inside that too small, too frail body, tearing
through Griagas's organs like they were made of paper, grinding his insides
into nothing but hot, ugly jelly that squelched out of his obliterated,
overstretched asshole with every savage piston of the monstrous member.
Griagas gasped in awe as Killer's huge
hands gripped into the wall like it was made of sand, crumbling granite into
powder as the hulking titan flexed, muscles bulging as his towering, endless
cock buried some more of its overwhelming immensity into the puny, broken male
toy. The king felt more of the liger's thick, slick precum blast violently
inside him, feeling as hot as lava and festering with forceful life as that
black gunk added to the wamn lube of blood and pulp that helped Killer thrust
his wrecking ram of a cock through the tiger's body.
Griagas whimpered pathetically as that
obscene girth pulverized his pelvis, leaving his legs lolling uselessly beneath
him, his spine creaking and shattering like dry spaghetti as that monstrous godcock
ripped up deeper into him, and the tiger panicked at the sight and feel of his
stomach and chest bulging further and further outwards, blown out in the shape
of the liger's immense flare.
Killer easily reached around him and seized
that monstrous bulge, one huge hand squeezing into it, gripping behind the
gigantic flare, stroking the neck of that godcock through the ripping,
agonizingly shredding hide and flesh of the helpless tiger, as Griagas gasped
breathlessly with the agony that came from his ribs as they snapped like twigs
and poked through his flesh, sticking out of his body with great spurts of
blood.
It was a freight
train, a tower, an endless world-crushing leviathan of a cock that was cramming
itself into him, leaving him unable to even scream as hisorgans were crushed
and pulped, his skin stretched so taunt that the thick, pulsing veins of the
liger's godcock were showing clearly through.
The liger
towered over him, grinning, immense and unstoppable, delighting in the way his
body bulged and tore out of proportion, how he could feel his ribs snapping,
crumbling, all his bones grinding to dust as his cock relentlessly pushed
forwards with each short, mocking thrust he made.
Griagas's vision became an haze as the
pulsing of the immense godcock dwarfed the weak beating of his heart, which was
crushed viciously against a crumbled rib... but even through the agony, Griagas
felt it with horrible clarity as Killer shifted his grip on him. Huge, hulking
arms laced around him, trapping his own scrawny, useless, spasming little
limbs, and massive, all-powerful fingers clamped onto his scalp in a full
nelson.
The helpless king choked on dark, thick
precum that blasted out of his jaws and smacked into the wall, his whole body
shaking with every thrust of the goliath, his very life trembling like a candle
in the wind, his eyes rolling back in his head... and he helplessly stared as
Killer leaned his own head down over his shoulder, just so he could see the
cruel grin of pleasure and dominance on the Alpha's face.
Killer effortlessly forced Griagas's head
down, folding his body without effort, the king's spine by now little more than
powder, and the behemoth began to thrust upwards with even greater force,
until, with a monstrous, sickening squelch and a great splatter of blood and
precum and gore, his godlike cock shredded the tiger's stomach and ripped right
through, tearing through him like he was truly just an overstretched condom. There was a horrific rending of
flesh as that hulking cock tore out of the remains of the fallen king, chunks
of viscera hailing in all directions as that great, mammoth godshaft emerged
like a demon out of hell, as Killer hissed in savage delight and pushed the
folded-up, shapeless body further down along his shaft, more of his immensity
ripping right through that bloodied wreckage.
The gigantic, bloodstained flared cockhead
smacked up into Griagas's face with enough force to crunch his muzzle in,
shattering his jaws, sending teeth falling to the ground as one eye sickeningly
burst apart, and Killer hooked a thick finger into what little remained of his
lower jaw and effortlessly ripped it off, the hulking colossus snarling: “Suck
it, bitch!"
The giant, bloodied shaft rammed through
his stretched, broken body and up into the back of his throat, enormous flare
nearly crunching his skull completely to pieces, and Griagas died tasting
nothing but Killer's virile black precum, blood, gore and ruin, while feeling
the liger's massive, muscular form thrumming with absolute power behind him.
Killer snorted in contempt as the fallen
king almost disintegrated in his grip, and he mockingly hissed: “Worthless
failure, even as a fucktoy."
The hulking colossus pounded his massive
cock through what was left of him, until the broken, pulped corpse was bisected
with a sickening rendition of flesh. He held on to the floppy, boneless chunks
of meat as they slid down his black shaft and he thrust his hard cock against
the wall, unfazed by the hard, rough stone, cracking it, grinding it down to
sand as he mockingly ground those remains out of existence, crushing, crunching
the corpse under his cock until there was nothing but bloody putty and chunky
lube smeared down the length of his enormous shaft. Miserable, ugly chunks fell
down to the ground with wet splats, broken tatters hung from around his pillar
of cock, shredded to pieces by his absolute, unquestionable power as a single
lazy pump of his sludgy precum smeared the wall black with gallons of dark,
omnipotent masculinity... and the liger laughed darkly as the thick, steaming
cocksludge completely covered the blood, the gore, the ruin of his victim,
erasing its pulped remains from sight, almost like he had never even existed.
Killer finally slowed his movements,
relenting, and watching almost with interest at the broken, shapeless remains
of Griagas's head, crunched inwards horribly, still in his hand. He was
surprised to see the bullet necklace was still there, dripping blood and gore,
hanging from the shreds of flesh and broken bone that were all what was left of
the king's neck.
He seized the bullet and yanked the
necklace free, then flung the remains of Griagas's skull onto the ground, where
they landed with a sickening sound of mud striking a wall. He looked down at
the mess with a snort of contempt that hid some emerging shame for his own
excess.
He had done it again. He had exaggerated.
He had allowed his dark lusts to run rampant. He could have ended the traitor
in a less brutal way, couldn't he...?
He stepped on that crumpled head with
almost as much contempt for himself as for the traitor he had just destroyed,
and he made a grimace as he slowly twisted his heel, crushing that ugly wreck
out like a cigarette, before dragging his foot backwards, wiping it clean in
the sand, to dry away the blood and pulp.
He walked back towards Nike, who stared
weakly up at him, with a little, fearful smile. She had seen what he had just
done to what had been her husband, but apart from the hint of tears lost into
the thick black cum drenching her face and her whole body, she seemed not to
case.
Then again, he had fucked her into such a
haze that he wondered if she was even truly aware of her surroundings. He
looked down at the bloodied bullet pendant, and squatted near her broken form,
dangling the necklace above her face.
Like an obedient little slave should, she
opened her mouth and allowed him to lower her husband's pendant into her maws,
immediately beginning to lick it clean of her king's ruin, her eyes filled with
nothing but fearful, reverent worship for her new Master and God. He let her
work, idly reaching down with his other hand to stroke her grotesquely huge
belly and to seize a large breast, idly playing with her nipple, pinching it
lightly between his strong fingers... and when the pendant was finally clean
and polished with her drool, he calmly asked: “Do you hate me for what I
did...?"
“I
could never hate my king and master and god." Nike whispered, and her eyes made
it clear she was sincere. “He had it coming."
“Did he, now...?" Killer quietly asked,
tilting his head slightly to the side. The hulking colossus didn't insist, and
instead snapped his fingers, calling help forwards. She needed it, he had been
rough to her.
“Don't worry, Nike. I'll take good care of
you... I'll take good care of everyone." Killer quietly promised, almost more
to himself than to her.
He was going to keep the bullet pendant. And
not just because he liked it, no. Because hopefully it would remind him to be a
bit more merciful and controlled.
Just like his new scar would hopefully
remind him to be a little less arrogant.
