Standing on the mountain littered with corpses Jesus watched the 18 hippogriffs flying northwards. Then he turned to look down towards the corpses, there he could see lots of that green foul, puke-inducing green liquid flowing down the mountain slope.
Seeing the green liquid caused his danger senses to start to go off. Clearly, those rats had ingested something foul into their bodies in order to become stronger. Not wanting to be anywhere near it Jesus stood up and prepared to leave, as he did so he turned to look west. With a quiet prayer in his heart, he prayed that Marino was safe.
***
At sea, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean 6 boats moved with great speed, pushed forward by strange dolphins.
Just moments ago the sun had risen and Marino had fallen from his bed, onto the floor and started to do pushups. His right eye was a bit swollen and his body was bruised from last night's ship brawl.
After doing a hundred Push-ups he started to do finger pushups. After every 10 reps, he took one finger away, until he was only doing pushups with one finger. After that, he rested for 30 seconds and changed to doing 50 reps of handstand push-ups. Then 30 seconds of rest and after that, 2 minutes of plank hold. Then after that, he turned to doing sit-ups 100 reps. And another 30 seconds of rest, after which he moved to do the planche hold for 30 seconds and planche Push-ups for 20 reps. Then 30 seconds of rest and 100 pistol squats, for each leg. This he did for a few hours until he heard it. " Land! Land! We actually found land! "
Jumping up from a push-up position Marino ran outside with only a loincloth covering his private parts. Running to the front of the ship he could finally see it land.
In front of him, he saw an island with a rocky shore and behind it lots of arid grassland, with only a few palm trees and bushes covering it. Looking further away with his yellow eyes he could see a jungle further away.
Seeing this he waved to the other ship's and yelled. " Turn west! We will circle around the island and see if we can spot any intelligent life! "
Hearing this a chosen cultist turned to him and asked. " But my lord, why not just land here and go on foot? The men could use a little rest on solid ground. "
Shaking his head Marino answered him saying. " No my chosen one. We cannot do that. The shore is too shallow. We would just hit the underwater rock's. Just trust me I know what I'm doing. " Then he walked to the ships helm, where the wheel was located and started to steer the ship.
Coming so close to the ground the dolphins waved goodbye and left the humans, happily jumping into the sunrise.
Looking over the ships railing the chosen warrior was surprised. In the water, he could see the outlines of the underwater rock formations. Turning to look over at his Lord he yelled excitedly. " My Lord! There truly are rocks right here, just like you said! How did you know that the would be rock's here? "
Standing at the wheel Marino smiled as he said. " Do not doubt me, for I am the chosen of God. I know many things that no average man could possibly know. Hahahaa! "
The men around him were surprised, thinking. Did he already know of this Island, to begin with? He truly must have been chosen by God. For how else could he know anything about this place?
Indeed Marino knew this Island. In his time it was called the Barbados island. A great place for growing sugar cane and starting a rum-making business. Sure it wasn't a big island but it would be more than enough for his small crew to begin with. There should only be a few hundred natives living on the island like in his past life and the best place to land would be the big beaches of the island, on the western side of the island. Also, there would be many tasty coconut's here since the weather was nice all year round.
Coming around to the west side of the island Marino's heart started to beat and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. In anger, he gritted his teeth and yelled. " Fuck! Who the Fuck dares claim my prize? "
Some distance away from them he could see a small ship with a single mast and white sail's. On the sails, he could see some kind of a star and a bird symbol. The ship looked smooth, with no ragged edges to be seen. Most likely it was a medium-sized fishing boat of some kind. This area of the sea was rich with those flying fishes that liked to hop out of the water occasionally, most likely that was their prey.
The ship had clearly spotted them but kept going north. This worried Marino, if there was an advanced civilization living on this island then his plans were over. Most likely there would then be more cities and towns on other islands as well. He could not face an entire nation alone, at most he could raid them for valuables.
The men watched the ship In front curiously wondering who they were, as they followed their ship to it's destination. Coming behind a small island extension they finally saw it. A white small town. All the buildings were made of white stone and the pointi roofs were painted blue. There were maybe Two-handed buildings of different sizes, at a hilltop he could see something like a mansion and what he assumed to be a temple. The Temple was built in a triangle shape with a tall tower in the middle, maybe the bell tower. With 3 sections with steep blue roofs attached to it. The town had stone streets around the small houses filling the city and around the town were small wooden palisades. At the docks, there were two small pier's made of the same white stone.
Attached to the docks were 2 larger ships which looked like trade vessels of some kind. Next to the pier's were 6 small and 2 medium-sized fishing boats left on the sandy beach. They watched as the one at sea drove straight to the beach, and the crew of 12 just hopped off and tied their boat to some coconut trees.
Looking at this scene, Marino could tell that these people put a lot of work into their architecture and not so much into defenses. They seemed to be a peaceful people. Even after spotting their 6 ship's the town didn't sound any alarm and only a small group of white blonde people dressed in silver armor with a white color scheme appeared at the docks ready to greet them.
Seeing as both pier's were only big enough to accommodate one more ship, Marino decided that Marino's Wrath and Bloody Envy would dock first. The others would have to come by rowboats to shore or just stay back and offer cannon support if needed.
As the ship pulled to the side of the pier. Marino could see the blonde white men more clearly. There were about 30 of them doing normal hard labor on the pier. They were carrying basket's or rolling barrel's towards the small wooden palisade gates just a bit behind the pier's, while some cleaned the pier and the ship's decks.
There was also a group of 3 men dressed in scale armor that had its top covered by a silver plate chest piece, they also wore pointy silver shoulder armor and pointy silver helmet's. Everybody had long straight blonde hair that covered their ears.
When the ship had stopped Marino and his two followers Gluttony and Sloth followed him onto the pier. While Marino uncaring of his appearance, only wearing a small loincloth that only covered his big bulging dick gently jumped from their tall ship onto the pier. Gluttony and Sloth wore their full set of black armor and massive weapons, so once they landed on the pier it caused a loud metallic boom sound as the white stone cracked a little, under their weight.
Shocked by the sound, all the cleanly dressed long-haired men stopped what they were doing and started to stare at the strange men. They whispered something in a strange language to each other, but just from the way they talked and looked at them Marino knew that they were dissing them.
As they walked towards the trio in armour Marino started to talk extremely arrogantly to nobody in particular. " Hahahaa! They are gossiping about me. They must feel inferior compared to me. "
Marino stopped In front of the armored men and started to flex as he yelled. " Yes! Look upon my godly body and treble in Envy! For only a chosen of God can be this perfect. Look at my 8 pack abs, only a select few can have such greatness. Look at these biceps, they are bigger than your thigh muscles. Look at my fingers that have the power to crush bones. Yes! Yes yes! Look at my legs, they are like a Greek gods sculpted legs. My power is 6 times that of a normal man such as your selves and my height surpasses 190 Centimeters! "
There were now white blonde people gathered at the battlements looking curiously at the strange rambling man. They whispered and laughed quietly to each other as they pointed at the man. There were even women who blushed and giggled as they gossipped amongst each other.
Then as more cosen got off the ships, everyone went completely quiet and only a few gaps of shock could be heard. As Marino yelled. " Look at my godly dick! "
Then he pulled out a 26 cm long thick dick with balls to match its size. With arrogance, he shook it while yelling. " Look at it! Isn't it godly! Hahahahaaa! "
Seeing the crazy man's actions, some started to back away slowly towards the gate in uncertainty about the man's intentions. While some women blushed as others pointed and laughed at the strange man.
Then Sloth spoke. " Oo, boss. I think they are mocking you. "
What? Marino said confused as he came back to reality, just now he felt like something sinister had taken hold of his mind. Causing him to act rashly without thinking. Shaking his head he put his dick back into the loincloth and realised that the blonde men were not admiring him and this made him mad. But after years of business experience, he shook it off and approached the 3 armored men, who had smug Faces. Are they looking down on me, how dare they? Marino thought as he walked In front of them.
Standing in front of them he heard one of them say something with a smug tone of voice. " Are you mocking me? " Marino raged to them, only earning a laugh from the men.
In anger he clenched his fists, wanting to punch the man In front of him. Then he could see more armored men appear at the gate and the wall. At the gate, they stood with spears and large shields, that covered their slim bodies.
At the wall stood a few men with bow's and they were wearing white cloth clothing, covered by some light leather armor. They had no helmets, just a silver or gold headband and just let their silky smooth hair flow down. He could even see some women wielding bow's, although it was hard to say as they all had extremely slim bodies.
Looking at the men In front of him, he couldn't understand a word they were saying. But he sensed arrogance and pride in them. He could see that the men were all tall, as tall as he and had slim somewhat toned bodies. From this, he could summarise that they preferred speed over strength and most likely relied on their bow's to do the killing.
Walking face to face with the man in the middle, he watched him intensely. He could see the man's pretty face turn from smug to concerned and then fearful. Their non warrior-like culture pissed Marino off and the fact that they were all so feminine and pretty made him feel somewhat inferior. His men and he were like filthy Barbarians In front of these natives beauty. Where was his easy-to-conquer native population? How dare these men settle on this island, it should belong to him. Clearly, they had not settled here that long ago, looking at how advanced but small the town was. Most likely they had other settlements elsewhere. But these nonwar-loving people could always be subjugated and made to work for him, he thought. His sugar and rum-making business was still possible.
With an arrogant smile and tone of voice Marino backed away a few steps and gestured to all the onlookers and spoke. " People! People people, hear me! My name is Marino Colombo and I have come here for conquest and profit! I don't know what language you speak! But I in my infinite wisdom have decided to give you a choice! Either bow down to me or die! And I will make it quite clear to you! "
With that said he turned to look at the 3 men with uncertainty and fear in their faces. With his finger he pointed to the man in the middle, making him flinch, and then pointed to the ground. Gesturing for him to kneel In front of him.
Realizing what Marino was trying to say the men's expression's tensed, as the 3 men yelled something and pointed their spears toward the Intruders. Quickly the unarmed people on the pier and wals ran away towards the town, as more men with Shields and spears appeared on the piers and at the gates. Now there were maybe 20 archers and 30 spears. Then the bell was rang in warning at the temple and the middle man spoke with hostility in his voice. " Wi nɔ go nil dɔŋ to sɔm fɔrina dɛn. Giv op yu arms en wi ol mait stil waka away from dis pisifully! "
Seeing the defiance in the man's face Marni spoke. " Muhahaha! So you have chosen death! No matter! You can serve as an example to others then! "
With that said Marino extended his arm towards the man, making him really confused. And then like some invisible man had grabbed him, he was lifted into the air. Dropping his spear and shield in panic, he struggled hitting and kicking the air as he screamed in the air. " Ɛp mi! Fukin ɛp mi dammit! "
The other men grabbed onto the man's legs trying to pull him down, but the force was too strong and he would not come down, no matter how hard they pulled. The spearmen who were coming to reinforce them stood there in shock, looking at the scene. All the beautiful natives were looking at this scene in shock. On the other hand, the chosen looked at this scene from the ship's and pier's in amusement, as the other hands urgent the rowboats onwards. " Hurry hurry! Row quickly or we are gonna miss all the fun! " Came the voice of the man codenamed Greed, from one of the rowboats.
With an evil grin on his face, Marino moved his hand closer to his body and simply pulled the man towards him with the raw power of the force. With his powerful left hand, he grabbed the incoming screaming man's throat, making him choke under his grip. Now he held the man up in the air by his pure raw muscular strength, he looked with pleasure as the man struggled. Tier's rolled down his face and his face turned red from the lack of oxygen. As the man struggled Marino laughed and spoke with a deep demonic voice. " Muhahaha! Now pay for your defiance in the face of my overwhelming, unlimited power! "
The Natives looked in horror as the foreign barbarians looked in wonder. With unnaturally fast speed he pulled the man's head against his chest, facing the other natives. The man clawed at Marino's hand in desperation and kicked the ground trying to get away from him. Then Marino's veins bulged and arm muscles flexed as he brought both his hands onto the man's neck. He roared like a demon and like a pro diver piercing through the waters surface with his fingers together and extended. He dug his fingers into the man's soft neck all the way to the spine. Blood spurted out of the man's mouth as life started to fade from his eyes. Then like pulling a wine cork from a fine wine bottle he placed the man's head sideways against his chest and pulled with all his power. The Natives were horrified but before they could do anything a sickening sound came from the man's body as his head came off with the spine bone still attached to the head.
Marino let go of the now limp body, letting it drop to the ground with blood spraying out the neck, painting the white stone red. He lifted the head with the spine bone still attached into the air in victory and yelled like a beast! " Yeeeeeeeee! Fear me! Respect meeeee! "
The chosen cheered and then Marino opened his mouth letting the blood drop from the severed head into his mouth.
The Natives screamed in horror seeing this act of barbarism, some brave men yelled something in anger and pointed their weapons towards Marino. In a crazed fury the two other spearmen who accompanied the now dead man Yelled in anger and charged towards Marino. Looking at this filthy barbarian one of the Natives yelled. " day dat pig tu! "
And then his body lost all feeling and vision split in two. In his blind charge, he failed to notice the massive Two-handed sword coming down to cut him in half. With pure power, Sloth brought his massive sword down onto the native cutting him in half. The force was so strong that the armor was rendered useless In front of such force. The other native was swiftly smashed into meat paste by gluttony and his massive hammer. " You no hurt master, no no! Master is Important, master give me food! " Gluttony spoke.
Having had his fill of the Natives blood he tossed the head aside and turned to the defiant natives. Apparently, the natives were not gonna give up without a fight. Seeing them load their bows, Marino Commanded. " Shield wall! Gluttony and Sloth get behind the shields and attack on my command! "
With that a shield wall formed In front of Marino. Then came the small rain of arrows onto the shields. With great force, they hit the shields denting the shield. " Tuck tuck, tuck! " Came the sound of the arrows hitting Shields. Marino was surprised, these archers were indeed strong.
But the Natives were even more surprised. They had never faced such strong shields before. Their shields were mostly made of hardwood, mixed with some metal as a full metallic shield was just too heavy for them.
Then from behind the shield wall came many loud boom's, as cannon balls flew over them into the walls and town. From the 4 ship's at sea came 16 cannonballs. Native men and women were torn to shreds, some more nimble natives managed to dodge them. While the gatehouse shattered into pieces and wooden splinters flew. A few cannonballs flew into town, creating holes in the streets and house's causing the natives to start screaming in terror.
Marino laughed and said, dissingly. " Hahahaa! Those savages must not even know what gunpowder is! They are probably shaking in fear right now! Hahahaaa! Men push forward and kill all who resist! Let's take some slave's and make some gains! "
