I try all night to master my armor to no avail. When I finally wake up, I look out the window and see a mysterious character Sitting in the window dressed entirely in black. a black hood covers their face. I ask "who are you?" The mysterious character replies "I'm a mercenary that has been very interested in you. and your "unique attributes." We will meet again someday when the time is right." The mysterious character then stands up and falls back out the window. I jump out of bed and look out the window to see if I can see where they went but the mysterious person Vanished without a trace. I look to the sky almost past midday . without thinking, I rush and put on my armor and grab my gear and run to the tavern. where I see a piss off duke's daughter she sounds off "I've been here waiting for half an hour and you show up just as I'm about to leave how shameful" I say "sorry I overslept because I was trying to master some armor that has a powerful enchantment and then I wake to a person entirely in Black sitting in my window so yeah I have had a rough morning so far and the last thing I need is someone yelling at me." I pause and look at my armor. The aura starts glowing red, the room starts becoming hazy, people's faces start becoming black in faceless until all I can see is the shadows. I run out of the Tavern at superhuman speeds and try to get as far out of the town as I can. When I reach the woods at the edge of the town there are weird creatures that I see through my vision. They start coming toward me one try to strike me i doge I pull out mustang and sally without thinking and start shooting. fire erupts from the barrels of the two 1911s the creature explode from the bullet's impact. more creatures start attacking me I continue to fire until both mags of the 1911's are empty The creatures keep coming more and more of them my hatred for these dominations grows deeper and my anger and frustration grow as well. I flick the magazines out of the two 1911s out and jam two more in and re-rack both. more abominations approach and there's no words to describe what these creatures look like but abominations to mankind. I shoot and continue to shoot but it's like there's no end. A creature strikes me and pierces a hole through my arm. I don't care. I do not feel pain. And nor do I care about pain. I'm barely conscious at this point. I can barely tell what I'm doing. it's like my body is acting on its own I swing my MG 42 for my back and holster my two 1911s the belt dangles to the ground more abominations come from the forest like cockroaches crawling out from the woodwork my body pulls the trigger my mind unknowing of what they truly are I have no idea what I'm shooting at but nor do I care. blue flames erupt from the barrel of the MG 42 bullet casings fall to the ground. I unconsciously blow through over 2000 rounds and continue firing. unaware what I'm even shooting at anymore. And then everything around me starts to fade to black. when I wake up. I wake up on a mound of corpses. I can't even tell if they're humans or monsters anymore because the bodies are so mutilated. and I look to the right of me to see my MG 42 smoke coming from the barrel. and the barrel glows red. I look to my arm a hole the size of my fist has been punch through my arm. The only thing keeping my arm attached to my body is the armor that I wear. I look into the hole in my arm. metal has been woven and dug into the wound to where it will not come off. The armor is slowly repairing itself. and I assume it will do the same to my arm. I look to the tree furthest from me I see a woman in all Plate armor drenched in blood cowering behind a tree. I slowly walk over to her. She screams in fear and runs away. I look to myself to see that the white cloak that I wore is now even more tattered and stained in a deeper Crimson. And my black armor that was once black is now red with blood and can no longer go invisible. I pick up my MG 42 and slip it into my bag. I limp my way back to town. My body feels sore like I've used muscles I've never used before. when I reach the gate to the town. the guards look at me as if they saw some unworldly being. I stare at the ground, blood drips from the armor that I wear. the guards are too scared to move or answer you may pass. shivering in their boots. I limp through town as bloody footprints are all I leave in my path. I eventually reach the tavern and. open the salon shutters. Everybody stares, nobody says a word. as blood runs from my armor and drips to the wooden floor. I limp my way to the back of the tavern and sit down. All I hear is just whispers in the wind. The bartender finally mustered up the courage to come over to me. He says "what do you want to drink?" I reply "water." he says nothing. and walks away a moment later he brings back a glass of water. He sets it on the table and asks "Will that be all for you." I reply "no I need a whiskey on the rocks." he comes back a little later and sets the glass down and walks away back to the bar. I sit at the table drinking my water. and trying to remember what happened eventually. Sophia walks in and looks to the back of the tavern to see me drenched in blood. She runs over to me. and asks "where the hell have you been." and I reply "I have no idea I just woke up on a pile of corpses and walked back to town." She sits there silent, her face blank like she's staring into the void. she finally snaps out of it she swiftly replies "a pile of corpses. Did you know there have been reports of a diplomatic mission that was supposed to come here to solve some important issues from the neighboring kingdom. if word gets out that you live here. and you killed an entire army there's gonna be some big shit heading our way. Were there any survivors?"
I reply "if you count a woman wearing full plate armor then yes. but I doubt anybody will believe her that a single man killed an entire army by himself. how strong was this army." Sophie replies "around 10,000 strong" I say "no way in hell somebody's going to believe a single man killed 10,000 men single-handedly."
Sofa replies "you'll be shocked and white people believe nowadays." Sophia says "do you know if they were soldiers or were they monsters?" I reply "I have no idea the bodies were so mutilated. but I did see metal mixed in there so it could've been." She said's "holy cow you make it sound like it was a slaughter." I reply and grin "it pretty much was.
if it was soldiers one of them got me pretty good." I wonder who it was and if they're still alive. I show her my arm and how the armor has dug into my bones and has woven my tissue together so that it can heal. she "responds you really have earned your nickname." A few weeks later the king announces that we're going to war. I ask "Sophia you're a noble what's the king fired up about." she replies "the King has learned that the man who killed 20,000 soldiers is in his mercenary guild." I say "but even if it was soldiers it was only 10,000 right." She shakes her head and says "apparently new information has come out the estimate was off it would've been 20,000 not 10." I say "so you're saying that I killed 20,000 soldiers like it was nothing." she replies "yes indeed." I look at my hands and picture them entirely in Crimson stained in blood. She starts "now the other Kingdom is sending 100,000 troops to make us pay for the 20,000 that you slaughtered. and word around the kingdom is that if we even defeat that hundred thousand. there will be an additional 500,000 behind in reserve." I asked "where are they getting all these people. This kingdom only has around 100,000 people, including women and children." She replies "when the enemy kingdom takes over another Kingdom all the people of that kingdom become members of the military and are forced to fight. a few people around the Tavern say the king is not assembling our military; he's just gonna hire a few mercenaries and you." I say "how much is he paying per mercenary. and how much is he willing to pay me"she responds "if you beat the enemy kingdom you will be ruler of said kingdom. You will have to beat the entire enemy force. including laying siege to the castle but you will live in the Palace. and you'll have maids and butlers of your own you will live a life of luxury. That is your award. And as for the mercenary's 1,000 platinum coins." I say "I want some platinum coins too."
I make my way to the Castle. The guards of the castle let me in immediately. as the king and queen sit upon their throne. as I enter the throne room. I stand before the king and queen and arrange a deal . To kill 600,000 soldiers I get rewarded 2,000 platinum coins. I get the kingdom that I conquer along with its people and all of its resources. That is the deal that I made with the king and queen. It is up to them to decide whether they fulfill it.
Two weeks go by the enemy army draws near, worry fills the air, people speak in whispers. the town that was once flourishing is now dead. The streets are empty. Me and Sophia and the other mercenary's head out to meet the enemy. We do a few scouting missions. We can estimate that there are roughly 700,000 troops of the enemy. The kingdom's numbers were off again like they always are it seems.
they will send 70,000 For the first attack that isn't bad. And roughly 200 miles from town we get ready for battle the mercenary prep their gear and armor. I do the same and so does Sophia. I try to summon a few tanks to help us out. I think of how many tanks I will need and how many soldiers that i need to man them. I think of all the positions in the tank and how each tank is laid out. I picture the men that will be in my army of despair. the men will wear German helmets and there gas mask with the glowing red lenses and a hos of the mask there will whare as their second skin and their long black trench coats and there Black pants and they're tall black officer boots suddenly thousands of circles appear on the ground with the strange symbols and writing and to my dismay they slowly appear the tanks entirely made of steel with their thick tracks and sprockets and wheels the tanks that I summoned are panzer 4's and the soldiers are some I just came up with in my head just random soldiers that When think of I think of soldiers that are willing to die for any calls I called them the death brigade 140,000 Mobile infantry my beautiful deathcore march in sync I order my men. to man the tanks and equipment. A few other items I summon are 20 380mm artillery pieces which I like to call Hellfire cannons. And 10 20mm autocannons my army's makeup is 500 paz 4's 100 m-3 half tracks 140,000 deathcore soldiers.
I tell my soldiers and all of my tanks and artillery pieces to make a line going across the meadow I told him that I want to wall of death awaiting the enemy I looked the mercenary's their eyes wide their mouths open by now I am used to the fact that people are awestruck at the power that I wield out of all the mercenary is there's one who's not surprised in the least Sophia.
