Chapter 35

The sun starts to rise as it's morning again and I open my eyes and stretch out. I look down to see Sara is sleeping on top of me and I'm still inside of her. She slowly opens her eyes and notices that I'm not only awake but still inside of her too. I wonder if she's enjoying the feeling. I watch to see how her reaction is. She looks at me with a big smile.

"Want to go another round?' she asks.

"Sure, I'm in no rush." I replied.

So another hour of passion and sex passes by. We finish and get up to get dressed and pack up. Sara makes her 'Bomb ass' breakfast and eat before taking off towards the border again. It should take only half of today to get there. Sure enough I was right. I find a tall hill overlooking the spot that the border is at and there's a small camp near the border. The border itself is marked by a small, decrepit wall made of stone. I may need to go Donald Trump and build a better wall in the future.

"So this is the border?" Sara asked.

"It appears so. That wall has seen better days. At least there's someone watching the border. Let's go down to the encampment and warn the soldiers on what's coming." I said.

We head down to the camp and find mostly rookies there with some of the oldest soldiers in my army ever. Must be a training camp. I find the person in charge. A general that was ready to retire. He goes by the name and I kid you not. Wang.

"General Wang, I have some urgent news for you."

"Your Majesty, I never thought you would ever come here in person! What news do you have for me?" General Wang asked with a shocked look on his face. He was at my coronation so he knows what I look like but we never had a chance to speak to each other until now.

"The Iron Blood Imperial Army is heading this way. They will show up in a few days, give or take and Will most likely be in full force to cross this border."

"Damn it. I hoped that peace would reign for a while or at least until my replacement arrived so I can retire. I'm getting too old for this."

Shades of Danny Glover's character from the 'Lethal Weapon' movies pop into my head. Good movies but I loved 'The Expendables" movies better. Age is only a number as you can still be a hell of a soldier in your 40's. However, Wang looked like he was in his late 60's to early 70's. A relic from the past. I have read about some of Wang's earlier achievements as he was a smart soldier and strong too. He served Kagura's grandfather and father in 3 major campaigns, each time he defended his homeland successfully from the Iron Blood Imperial Army from invading the Jimmu Kingdom and he did it with a force of 2,000 troops against 6'000 enemy troops.

"General Wang, you don't need to worry, I'm here to help defend my kingdom too."

"Your Majesty is here to fight too? You shouldn't be here!"

"General, I chose to be here. Besides. I doubt the Iron Blood Imperial Army is going to be small and the Emperor and Empress could be with them as well. Also, please call me by my name, Michael. I don't want to soldiers here to be under too much pressure."

"Yes, Your Maje- I mean, Michael. I see why you came here."

"Call me a patriot."

I look at Sara and asked General Wang how many soldiers was here. He told me roughly around 400. I could use this force to go behind enemy lines and force a surrender from the Emperor. I then felt a familiar presence heading towards the camp. The battle maid that gave me the report came to the camp to report to me some additional intel.

"My lord. I have some important information."

"Ok, tell me the intel you got for me."

"The Emperor and the Empress is traveling with the Imperial Army and one of the battle maids over heard the Emperor saying that he plans on executing the Empress for not being able to produce an heir by throwing her into the battle that will happen here."

Seriously. this Emperor is a fucked up piece of shit if he does that.

"I have a question that you should be able to answer since I told you to check out the Emperor from his birth until now. How many wives has he had?"

"He has been married 5 times. The 4 previous wives were executed for being unable to produce an heir."

so he wants Kagura because he thinks she maybe the key to his 'problem'. It's not the wives fault since he's shooting blanks. And considering that he's in his late 50's to early 60's, he's getting desperate. Well, he fucked up because the kingdom he wants to invade is mine and the woman he wants is one of my wives. I won't let this go unpunished.

" Find the BAA. Tell them to double time it."

"Yes, my lord."

The battle maid leaves and I turn to Sara and General Wang.

"Tell the soldiers here to get into formation as I want to address them. Rookies or not, they're going to experience battle in a few days."

"General Wand gives his orders to the officers and in 5 minutes the 400 soldiers are in formation.

"Alright everyone. I have some important news for everyone. The Iron Blood Imperial Army is heading this way. I am here to stop them with your help. General Wang is a great general and a legendary warrior that has helped in your training so I hope you took your training seriously. We are at a state of war. You will see battle soon. There's no way to avoid it. For most of you, you're rookies, but to me, you're soldiers that's ready to defend this kingdom from anyone or anything that is a threat. I consider you all patriots. After the battle, you will become heroes of the Barnes Kingdom."

I see that my speech has lit a fire in each of these soldier's eyes and they look ready to fight.

"Now, are you ready to fight for your king? Are you ready to protect your queens? Are you ready to defend your homeland?"

"YES!" they shouted loudly.

After that, General Wang dismissed the soldiers. They look ready to fight now. The scared faces of young rookies was replaced with determination. I fired them up and moral is high despite being out numbered They don't know that I'm going to be the X-factor of the battle. To me, numbers mean shit if you have the weapons I have and they're only coming with swords, spears, and arrows. The shields can't stop the rounds that come from my minigun. It's going to be a massacre.

The rest of the day was spent with the soldiers, giving them tips and advice on anything from fighting techniques to maintaining their composure during battle. Night fell and we had dinner and I told stories about the cyclops king and the battle in the Marks Kingdom. Soon it was time to hit the sack. Sara and I set up the tent I have and went inside to have some fun and after an hour, we cuddled and fell asleep.
