3 weeks had gone by since the sacking of Cordoba and its surrounding lands. Scouting parties had been sent from the city of Cordoba to the surrounding lands to assess the situation. All they had found were abandoned villages and towns. All of them were swept clean of any bodies and foodstuffs. Some scouting parties managed to kill a few rat groups as they were transporting prisoners and looting villages. From the prisoners they had learned of the swarm's merciless actions when they attacked. Thanks to the ratmen's hearing, sense of smell and ability to see in the dark they could easily hunt down all their victims, leaving no survivors. The swarm had mercilessly attacked small villages and towns, and an estimated 3 hundred thousand people were either dead, missing or captured nobody could say. Cordoba was a fertile farming region, creating great profits for the crown of Aragon. With it's loss and the great loss of life, Aragon faced the possibility of a future famine. Thankfully the rats had done a great job clearing the land of the dead and rotting bodies, preventing the spread of any plague or disease. The land could be settled once again as long as the rat threat was taken care of.
During this time news had reached the reinforcing western Iberian army of the fall of Mercia. An even larger swarm had attacked Mercia than had attacked Cordoba and the eastern Iberian army had arrived too late to stop it. With this, an additional 4 hundred thousand people had died or gone missing. Now an estimated 7 hundred thousand people were lost. This news had shocked all of Iberia. All over the two countries, calls for the eradication of all Ratmen were heard. No more did people chant the names of their homes or regions that they resided in. Instead, they chanted for a higher cause, a unified Iberia or for humanity. In their minds, this was no longer some minor war of land and power. No, this was a war for their existence and for their survival.
And so hundreds of thousands of peasants of all ages and both sexes started to gather into massive armies and march south to fight for their existence. They Chanted For Iberia and for Humanity!
Aragon only had an estimated 6 million people at the beginning of the war. With the additional loss of Granada an estimated 1 million people had been lost. So now with one-sixth of the population dying or missing the kingdom of Aragon faced total destruction.
Now the western Iberia army marched west with haste, to meet up with the eastern army. The Western army was mostly made of men from the kingdom of Andalusia. While the Eastern army consisted of only Aragonians.
As they marched they passed countless ghost towns and villages. There was a looming feeling of dread in the army, no song or laughter was heard as they marched. Only whispers could be heard, men talked of this being a sign of a new age of darkness. Other more radical soldiers talked of the end times, they talked of this being god's punishment. Too long had the Western world lived in peace. They had grown fat, lazy and ignorant of the growing dark forces of the world beyond. And now they were being punished for their ignorance. The warning signs were there, but they were ignored. They had known of the Ratmen and even fought them a few times. But they were deemed too insignificant, for they only came in small numbers stealing some food and livestock, creating a minor inconvenience. So they were left alone and now they would have to pay for their ignorance.
Now at the small crossroad town of Bailen, the Iberian army gathered and prepared to move south towards the city of Granada. From there they could assault the suspected locations of the mountain entrances and destroy the nest of rats.
With the death of the Duke of Faro and the Duke of Cordoba and most of their vassals dead also. Jesus had been given command. Lord Bispo had decided to return home as his forces only consisted of 2 fighting men. So now Jesus commanded the last surviving and willing to fight men, a force of 1 thousand also including the Jesuits.
Jesus was a part of the western army, now consisting of 19 thousand men. It was led by King Uther the first of Andalusia, a wise and just king. While the Eastern army consisted of 53 thousand men, was led by Prince Antonio the bold. Combined they had a good 72 thousand men.
Now standing In front of his thousand men on an open field were Jesus and his Jesuits, with a loud yell he commanded. 'Boar head formation! Move! Now!'
Quickly the men moved with great precision into many tight squares, forming a triangle shape formation with the range fighters in the middle. This was the tactic that the two leaders had come up with. While it was a risky plan it could work well against the swarm if the men held.
Walking In front of the formation Jesus Inspected the men. In the front were conquistadors with Shields and swords, supported by spears from the back. This was the men's 100th time doing this and exhaustion had started to set in. Testing out their resolve, Jesus commanded his Jesuits to start kicking and pushing the line. With gritted teeth and shaking legs, they still held bravely, for they all knew what was at stake.
One by one they tested out the Infantry blocks. Seeing the men hold Jesus nodded in satisfaction and then he yelled. ' Square formation! Move!' quickly the men formed 6 massive squares of Shields. In the middle were the ranged fighters and protecting them were the Spears and Halberdiers. And once again the Jesuits harassed the formations, kicking and pulling at their shields.
Seeing the men faltering and exhausted Jesus commanded them to stop and go rest for the night.
Watching his new fighting force Jesus was satisfied. All these men were the former Duke's men and we're well equipped. They had also been able to see Jesus fight during the siege and were willing to fight with him and follow him into battle.
Late in the evening as the sun had started to set, Jesus sat a top of a small house, a Colombo bread in hand watching the ghost town, now occupied by soldiers. He watched his men feasting, singing and enjoying the calm before the storm. Bragi, Karl and Ledo sat there with him talking and wondering about the battle to come.
Thinking of what the once lively town and how it probably looked like, with people smiling and children playing on the streets. Bragi squeezed his Colombo bread in anger and through gritted teeth said. 'I will make them pay. I swear. on my life. I will make them pay.'
Sitting next to him Karl put a hand on his shoulder and said. 'Hey. Don't forget us. We are all in this together. I know you've had it rough. Growing up in slavery and all that. But now you have us. we are a team and will kick those rat asses together. Ok?'
With a grumble Bragi said. 'Yeah, sure. But don't remind me of those Araby slaving fucks.'
Hearing this Jesus scolded Bragi saying. 'Don't let your anger guide your judgment. Learn to forgive and find peace and solace in the force. Remember we are all human in the end.'
Bragi frowned and said mockingly. ' Ha. Yeah, tell that to the people who have lost their families to those animals. Tell that to the enslaved girls, women and little boys who are treated as playthings and forced to satisfy those animals' needs.'
Hearing this they all fell into silence. Thinking of these words Jesus frowned, indeed he spoke the truth. For as long as history can remember there has allways been conflict between these two people's. In Araby, the rich and powerful see the white skin of the Caucasian's as something exotic. Only the most rich and powerful can obtain them as raiding the north and capturing the people isn't allowed in the Sultanate of Araby. But thanks to the vastness of the sultanate it has not been centralised and the Sultan's grasp on his subjects is weak. Many act Independently ruling their lands as they deem to be best, uncaring of the common laws. Really it is but a union of Tribes, instead of a unified Caliphate under one Sultan.
Looking over the town and his men in silence Jesus heard Ledo ask in concern. 'Do you think we are ready? Can we win?'
Hearing this Jesus looked over to the other parts of the town where the other forces rested and frowned. Indeed his men were well equipped but most of the overall army consisted of peasant Levy's. They were a ragtag group of people, some had decent armor, some had some and some had none. Their weapons consisted of farming tools, and hunting equipment and some had wooden shields with swords or spears. Some wore two-handed axe's, bill's or other heavy long-reaching weapons. In the battle, the peasants would hold the rear, while the well-trained and equipped men held the front. If the front line collapsed the battle would turn into a mess. For the Levy's could not be trusted to hold a formation. But there was hope, for they had 8 thousand 800 light horsemen and 2 thousand mounted knights. Supported by 7 thousand musketeers and 10 thousand peasant levy Archer's and 2 thousand well trained crossbowmen. As long as the Infantry held the swarm back the ranged fighters could do the rest.
Thinking of this Jesus looked up to the stars, smiling and said. 'Yes there is hope. So long as even one of us remains, there is always hope and so long as there is hope, there can also be victory.'
Hearing this hopeful but serious answer, they all smiled bitterly and ate their Colombo's in silence.
***
At the center of camp, there was a Commotion going on as men crowded around something. Seeing this, Prince Antonio yelled while walking through the gathered crowd. ' Move it! Move it! What's going on here?'
Coming to the center of the Commotion he saw King Uther pointing his hammer at a small ratwoman while the other men pointed swords and spear's.
The German looking blonde haired and blue eyed king turned to Prince Antonio and said distain fully. 'This ratwoman claim's to have important news. That she claims is vital to over success.'
Hearing this a Knight yelled angrily. 'I say we kill it! And avenge over people!' With this, the surrounding men cheered. 'Yeeeeeee! Yeeee! Kill it! Kill it!'
Looking at the kneeling skimpily dressed ratwoman and her big perky breasts Antonio smiled, and lifted his hand silencing the men. Then he walked In front of her with his blonde shoulder-length hair waving in the wind and stared down at her with his blue eyes and spoke loudly. 'I say we give her a chance!'
The men gasped in shock and Uther grabbed his shoulder and spoke. 'This is madness Antonio's. We cannot trust her word.'
Antonio just smiled smugly and said. 'Her word? Think about what you just said. When have you ever heard of or seen a ratwoman? She is clearly special.'
Taking his hand off Antonio's shoulder, Uther went into thought. Indeed he had never in his 42 years of life seen a ratman and definitely never heard of a ratwoman. He was indeed also intrigued by this ratwoman, but wasn't willing to take the risk of thrusting her.
Without waiting for a response Antonio offered her his hand and said. 'Come with me. Let's go have a chat in my tent.'
Hearing these words Xixi blushed, thinking about what was to come but she had already prepared for this scenario in her mind and accepted it. Without complaint, she grabbed his big strong hand with her delicate dainty hand and they started to walk away. Uther and the other men just watched in shock and made their way as the duo walked away.
***
Inside a sizable tent located at the center of town, Antonio poured wine into two cups as he spoke, with his back towards the ratwoman. 'So tell me who are you and what is your aim in coming here? Surely you didn't come here to help us out of the kindness in your heart?'
Behind him, he could hear her disturbingly human-like soft feminine voice speak. 'I am Xixi an outcast. I was considered unworthy of being a part of the nest, because of my appearance. I am small, weak and unable to give birth to as many children as my mother. So I am considered deformed, useless and a failure to my kind. So here I am in search of a new home where I can make my nest.'
He was a bit shocked to hear such words and information about the ratmen. But why is she describing herself so disparagingly and submissively? Then as Antonio was done filling the glasses he heard her continue, as she spoke with a shy silent voice. 'As for what my aim here is. It is simply to find a strong mate, who can provide for me and protect me. And our future children.'
Then as he turned to speak with her and hand her the cup, he was shocked. In front of him, he saw her bent over his wooden desk, completely naked. Seeing this Antonio didn't know what to think. All he wanted was to talk in private. This was not what he had in mind. But he was not complaining, maybe this was how her kind negotiated. He licked his lips and scanned her body with his eyes.
She stood on her tiptoes, as she was so short that her toes were barely able to touch the floor, while laying on the desk. His eyes slowly went up admiring her slim and toned legs. Moving up he saw her tail was moved to the side exposing her wet pussy and tight round butt to him. She had also moved her long waist-length hair to the side, exposing her small, tight, slim waist to him. As she turned to look at him, he could see her massive breasts protruding from the sides. Finally, his eyes drifted to her face and red gem-like eyes.
Seeing a massive bulge on Antonio's pants her juices started to leak out, creating an enticing smell and then she shook her big butt out of instinct, hypnotizing the Prince. Antonio was completely in a trance, it had been too long since he had had a woman. She might have been a ratwoman, but she looked and smelled so good, much like a human woman.
Out of instinct, he moved close to her without a word. Then he bent down and pushed his hard shaft against her butt, making her twitch and let out a small moan. Still holding the two cups in hand he drank the other one down with one gulp and threw it away onto the tents carpet. Now with one hand freed he grabbed her by the pussy, sticking 3 fingers in and lifting her up.
She spasmed and moaned as he lifted her ass by her pussy roughly. With her pussy in view he poured the wine on her pussy and threw the cup away, as she moaned. Now with his other hand free he pulled his hand out of her pussy and lifted her under her tights, by wrapping his hands around them. With his fingers, he spread her pussy and bent down to lick the wine and her juices.
With loud slurps he licks her pussy clean. Her bare breasts were squished against the desk, causing her hard, small, pink nipple's to get rubbed against the hardwood. She let out loud moans as Antonio enjoyed the delicious wine and love juices on her pussy. Then with a loud yelp she felt a tingle up her spine, causing her to spasm uncontrollably and then she orgasmed hard, all over the prince's face.
The prince just continued to suck uncaring of her orgasm. When it ended he pulled his mouth away and dropped her ass down, unceremoniously. With an evil grin, he spanked her both ass cheeks hard and said proudly. ' Now tell me rat slut, everything you know.'
Through panted breath, she turned her head and looked into his eyes and said. 'N-not until, I-I have some, insurance.'
With a mocking smile he looked at Xixi, while pulling out his massive dick and putting it between her ass cheeks, he asked. ' Are you sure about that? I don't think a small thing like you can even take this.'
Xixi was stunned, her eyes widened and she felt it. It felt as hot as a freshly baked sausage and hard as metal. And most impressive was the size, it was a few inches longer than Tao's and as thick as a man's wrist. It was lined with pulsating veins that thrummed with a vague, internal red light, an indication of his raw power and sheer virility. Large, swollen balls adorned the base, each one almost as wide as her balled fist. It was a cock meant to tame, used to fuck women into submission and to ensure the heritage of the Andalusian Royal line. The size and scope of it visually ensured that it was a bitch-breaking cock meant for true Royalty, designed to subdue and breed, and that wasn't lost on Xixi.
Seeing this her juices flowed hard and her ass shook out of instinct, eagerly waiting for him to claim her. She blushed and with shame, she looked away as she thought to herself. ' Sorry Tao, but this must be done. Through him, I can ensure our future here.' Feeling him starting to pump his throbbing cock back and forth, between her ass cheeks.
Antonio grinned with delight and stared down at her with victorious intent. And used his hand to swing his big cock down against her lower lips.
She moaned softly and said in heat. ' Do your worst. I can..... Kiiiiiiii!' she screamed as he slid his massive dick inside her wet pussy, creating a wet fleshy clap sound. Her nails scratched at the wooden desk, and Xixi let out something like a squeal of discomfort, perhaps, or maybe simple trepidations at his size, but the Prince didn't care.
Her stomach bulged, her back arched and her head threw back, as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her tongue lolled out. Just with the first thrust, Antonio groaned as he felt her hole tighten and she started to orgasm.
'You fuking horny bitch. Did you just come from the first thrust?' Antonio asked as he gave her cheeks a few hard slap's.
'I-I C-Cant H-Help it. I'm not M-made f-for something s-so bi-gg.' Xixi said through panted breath.
'Hahaha. Yeah, I guess your species must be pretty horny fuckers. Seeing as how few females you have compared your vast overall numbers. You must be really hungry for cocks.' Said Antonio as he started to fuck her against the hard desk.
He leaned over her, his massive back completely covering her small frame. With his hands he grabbed a hold of her two doughy mounds of tit-flesh, roughly squeezing and pulling them. While he sent small fast thrusts with his cock, hammering away at her fleshly walls. Feeling himself coming close to a release, he released one hand from her breasts and wrapped it around her delicate throat, squeezing it lightly so as not to damage the weak female under him.
Feeling the strong arm squeeze her neck, she just let out muffled incoherent sounds, as her tight hole tightened around his cock even harder.
' Fuck, you're tight! ' Yelled Antonio and then with a hard thrust he sent his leght of cockmeat as far as it could go and together they both groaned in pleasure, releasing their orgasms at the same time. With his dick spewing cum inside her she twitched as her belly bulged, being filled up with his royal seed.
He just laid there on top of her huffing and puffing, as he massaged those soft mounds of titflesh as he said. ' Now you can consider yourself ensured.'
Through panted breath, she turned to look at him and said unsure. ' Are you sure? Maybe we should get a second copy or more.' Then she twitched feeling his softening saft harden once more.
Antonio grinned as he straightened himself and removed his upper clothing, and then scooped her up by her soft shapely legs, creating an M shape. With his deep confident tone of voice, he said. ' Oh, I assure you, by my royal lineage that. You are insured, but taking a few extra copies is not a problem. ' With that said he started to move her up and down his cock. She moaned loudly and grabbed a hold of his thick forearms.
Antonio was surprised at how light she was. She was light as a feather, lighter than his massive Two-handed sword. Not satisfied with their position he slid his hands past her legs and around the back of her neck, locking them in place.
Now she was in a full nelson position with her legs pointed to the sky, locked in by his massive arm's and her back against his well-toned abs. Then he started to pump her hard. Massive tits flapped in the air and flesh clapped together.
Loud moans and grunts could be heard outside the tent as the guard's outside stood stiffly, pretending to not hear anything.
After a while of fuking like animals, they were ready to ensure their deal once again. With her tongue hanging out Xixi yelled with a cock drunk expression. ' I'm cumming!' As Antonio replied with a deep grunt and pushed deep inside her.
Just then the tent flaps flew open and came the shocked voice of King Uther. ' What is the meaning of this!'
Cum spilled out Xixi as Antonio held her in a full nelson position uncaring of the intruder. With his cock twitching inside her Antonio grinned and answered cheekily. ' I'm doing aggressive negotiations.'
Uther's eyes widened as he took in the sinful sight. Though he wasn't attracted to her, even he had to admit that he found some parts of her enticing. Quickly clearing his head of all sinful thoughts he pointed at Antonio and said stammering. ' Y-you, lustful, arrogant, little shit. What about your wife? You you..'
Dropping Xixi on the soft tent mat unceremoniously. He quickly pulled up his pants and stuffed his cock inside and interrupted Uther by saying. ' Calm down, calm down. This was nothing but a business arrangement. She has something I want and I have something she wants. Just trust me. Oh, and don't tell my wife. He he.' He smiled awkwardly.
Uther didn't look pleased as he said with his arms crossed. ' Don't tell your wife, you say. Well, that depends. Is her Information really that valuable or are you just a lustful, and an sinful man? Now tell me all she knows.'
Antonio just smiled awkwardly and answered. ' Well I can't really say.' Uther raised his eyebrows and looked at him with disgust. Raising his hands he said. ' Wow wow, wow. Calm down. Let's just calm down and let her speak first. Before you start telling on me.
With that said Antonio grabbed a blanket from his bed and wrapped it around the passed-out ratwoman, and sat down in his chair with her in his arms. Then Uther grabbed a wooden chair and sat across from them, waiting patiently.
Sneakily without Uther's notice he slipped his hand under the blanket and started to finger her, until. With a slutty yelp, she woke up in his arm and looked at him shyly.
Seeing her awake jet again, Antonio asked slyly. ' Are you ready to speak now?' Looking around the tent she saw Uther looking at her with a frown, giving the you are in trouble look. Not daring to keep these powerful men waiting, She quickly answered. ' Yes.'
***
From Xixi they learned about many of the small rat holes located around Iberia. But most importantly they learned of the biggest underground entrance of them all. Located southeast of Granada City was the mountain named Mulhacen. There she told them that they would find the main entrance to the Underhive. It was a key point of interest, because it was one of the only exits big enough for the Rat-ogres and other big things to exit. According to her, inside it were giant stone pillars, that if destroyed, would collapse a massive portion of the tunnels. This would diminish the rats threat in the south and possibly make them back down, from further attacks.
This was not what the 2 leaders wanted, for they sought the total annihilation of the rats. But according to Xixi that was impossible. At best, they could only hope for a truce. So with this information in hand, Uther left the tent to go prepare for the coming battle, at the great mountain entrance. Where according to Xixi the rats would be waiting for them.
With Uther gone Antonio collapsed into the chair and said with a sigh. 'My wife's so gonna kill me.' Xixi looked at him with concern while running her dainty little hand over his massive pectoral muscles. And said. ' But I thought you agreed to keep this a secret, from her?'
He just replied lazily. ' He never promised or agreed to anything.'
In concern, she asked. ' Well, what about me and our deal?'
Turning his head to look at her, he said. ' Don't worry I will find a home for you. But in the meantime, you should worry more about satisfying this Prince's needs.'
Stammering she said shyly.' Yes, my Prince.'
Hearing this he grabbed her by her throat and said. 'No, don't call me Prince. Call me master. You are my rat whore now.'
Squeezing her lightly. He said. ' Who am I? Say it.'
With her throat being squeezed she grabbed at his hands and pleadingly said. ' You are my master.'
Grinning he continued. ' And who are you?'
Only two words were heard. ' Your whore.'
Satisfied Antonio picked her up and placed her on his bed. Looking down at her curvy, petite and naked figure on his bed, he's dick throbbed. Quickly taking off all his clothes, he pounced on her and continued to dominate her, for the rest of the night. Until they both lost consciousness and fell asleep with his big dick still inside her.
And so an alliance between the kingdom of Andalusia and Xixi was made.
