Chapter 131: Rebellion Suppression

–Aegir POV–

「I won’t kill you if you drop your weapons and stop resisting.」

「Yo-you’re lying......There’s no way you would forgive a revolt!」

「I’m sure you’re going to kill all of us anyways!」

Is that so, too bad. With a large swing of my hand, arrows rain down from above on the rebel army, who are lined up to protect the village. Since they aren’t carrying shields, they fall over quite amusingly.

The outer circumference of the hill is already secured and the bow cavalry and archers have been deployed on top of the hill. There are no more defensive encampments and their village has always been in range of the archers, so it is easy to set the place ablaze with flaming arrows at any time. Even I can tell that they can no longer come up with any plans to stop us.

Two men come at me with desperate looks on their faces. I respond by bisecting the first man vertically from the top of his head down through his crotch, then kicking away the second man’s stomach, splitting his head once he has fallen. It’s fruitless to go around killing the citizens in a battle which has already been settled, but if they continue to resist, they’re not my citizens – they’re just rebels.

「Oraah!」「You-!」

I crouch to dodge the two spears coming at me from both sides and sweep them with my spear while remaining in my lowered position.

「Uwaaah!」「My legs are goneee!」

Having lost both legs, the two men writhe around on the ground in pain. My escort squad proceeds to finish them off with their swords, but that must have seemed like a great salvation to them.

「Hiih......」

Watching the four nearby men get massacred, the last remaining person seems to have lost the will to fight. Looking carefully, it’s actually a young woman. Don’t bring a woman to the battlefield, they’re such a hassle to deal with.

With a swift flick of my spear, I knock away the farming tool she’s holding in her hand and bring her close to me.

「I don’t want to die......help me......」

「Then, I’ll pardon you with this.」

I steal her lips, slip my tongue into her mouth and stick my finger under her clothes to push into her vagina. My finger faces some resistance and it felt like something rips as my digit invades her hole, causing the girl to shriek. Oh, so she was a virgin, what a waste. It would have been better if I waited and taken it with my cock.

「Ow......guh......」

After I separate from her lips, the girl presses against her crotch and collapses on the spot. She probably won’t resist any more. I signal with my eyes to the escort unit, telling them to take her away.

「Ow, ow, stop it!」

Celia, I know you aren’t pleased, but dragging her by the hair isn’t very nice.

「The battle is already settled, but they still aren’t surrendering.」

Myla comments before sighing. It’s true it will only become a massacre at this rate, but if they don’t surrender, we can’t stop either.

「It is a general rule to massacre everyone in a rebellion. But is it useless even if they surrender?」

After dumping the girl off somewhere, Celia returns to my side. She glares at me slightly after wiping the virgin’s blood off my finger.

「If we do so, there won’t be any future problems though.」

Leopolt has also judged the battle to be settled and came up to the front. By the way, Irijina is at the very front rampaging and has finished off about 10 people from what I can see. She isn’t the type of person to kill unnecessarily, but it’s natural to kill all those who resist.

「That’s also fine, but I want to see the person who led these peasants and made them able to resist this much. Aren’t you also curious?」

「It might be beneficial for future reference.」

Fumu, then shall we make them come out?

「Archer squad, nock your flaming arrows. Aim at the largest building over there, don’t burn anything else.」

There is a tall building in the middle of their village, probably the most important building. If it burns, their morale will drop and since it isn’t attached to any other building, the fire won’t spread to the entire village.

Almost at the same time the order was given, close to 100 flaming arrows accurately fly towards the building. I thought about trying to extinguish the fire, but since the building is made of wood, it quickly turns into a large tower of flames.

「Tell the rebel army: If they surrender now, I will spare everyone except the masterminds.If they resist, I’ll burn down the village and kill everyone.」

「T-that’s a lie.」「You’re probably trying to trick us......」

「At this rate, your families will definitely die. If you surrender, there is still a chance I might keep my promise.」

The rebel soldiers go silent, and the frightened families hug their children while the fire crackles behind them. Eventually the soldiers start dropping their weapons one by one, finally ending the battle. Well then, let’s take a look at what this person looks like. It would be the best if it was a nice lady.

「I guess it’s not that easy.」

「Huh?」

The rebel’s masterminds are lined up and made to kneel on the ground, while my escort squad secures the area. All of them are hanging their heads and doesn’t dare say a single word. I promised to spare the citizens but the lives of these guys aren’t guaranteed. These guys dragged the others into this mess.

The most important part is that they are all filthy men, covered in sweat and dirt, making it seem like they’re no different from bandits. There’s no meaning in talking with them.

「Hey, who is the one taking command of this battle?」

I point my spear at the brawny man at the very front.

「I-if you spare us as well, then gya-!」

Celia kicks the man.

「Don’t misunderstand! You guys are rebels. It’s because of Aegir-sama’s kindness that you are still living now and you aren’t in any position to negotiate at all! If you want, then I can kill you right- fuha......stop id pleash!」

I can’t talk to them if you kick them, so please calm down after I massage your cheeks.

「I intend to execute all of you, but if you answer truthfully, I might change my mind, you know?」

Everyone, including the man who was kicked, turn their eyes towards a man of small build sitting in the corner.

「Haah......good grief.」

I hear a large, tired sigh.

I’m not interested in the other masterminds, so I had them confined. I want to take my time and talk to the man who was in command, so I have him sit across the table from me. Myla and Leopolt sit beside me while Celia stands behind the man and remains alert. Irijina seems to have gone to interrogate the others, probably because she feels some sympathy for them.

「Well, what’s your name?」

「Count-sama, it’s Tristan. I don’t have a surname.」

Judging from his scrawny body, it doesn’t look like he has much experience serving in the army. But it doesn’t feel like he’s just an average peasant either. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

「Fumu, what superb command. I never would have thought a mish-mash gathering of peasants would give us so much trouble.」

「I’m honored. I as well, did not expect such absurd tactics. A great commander and savage valor – there was no other hand I could play when both of those traits were displayed.」

Tristan spreads both hands and sighs. He seems to be someone who does that a lot, and although I am one of those things he mentioned, the other one is Leopolt.

「Enough about that. But why would a clever individual such as yourself plan to rebel? Did you believe there was a chance at victory?」

There’s no way a noble would allow peasants to rebel or create a new system of order. Even if they can put up a good fight, it was quite obvious they would either get crushed by me or the kingdom’s army would ride out to suppress them if things got out of hand. Perhaps the governor took something besides the tax I imposed and caused their spontaneous outburst because they were unable to stomach it any further, but this guy doesn’t seem like someone who would choose such a foolish option. In fact, he doesn’t look like the type to initiate anything on his own.

「Aah......I was told the reason is because of things like tax and labor.」

「Told? Aren’t you the boss?」

Tristan sighs again and falls over flat on the table. Celia regards such an action as rude and moves in to try and pick him up, but I hold my hand up to stop her.

「I......I am the son of the previous mayor of a certain village, but my parents died from illness, and although I’ve been a farmer for a long time, the field attached to the house is quite wide, so I’ve been continuously living by lending that field to other people while reading books. I never really wanted to succeed the position of mayor.」

He seems to have a privileged position amongst the peasants.

「However, the villagers and tenant farmers hanged the village official before I knew it.」

He talks as if it’s someone else’s problem, how terrible.

「I was at home reading my books while thinking it was a big deal, and then the former feudal lord......the governor called his soldiers to come here, but I guess that’s natural.」

Of course it is. He wouldn’t just leave things alone when the official was killed.

「The tax imposed on us might have been heavy but the law is the law and I thought killing the official was deserving of punishment......however, the governor’s soldiers weren’t looking for the culprits, rather they were burning houses indiscriminately, killing and raping and doing as they pleased.」

That governor will be getting point deductions. I’ll have him enjoy being confined in a room until I return home.

「I thought this was becoming a disaster and my house and books would go up in flames if things continued, so I suggested for the villagers to start an uprising. That’s how I took command, repelled the governor’s soldiers, and managed to survive up to now without any problems.」

「Wait, you gathered the villagers and defeated the governor’s soldiers?」

And this isn’t by lying in wait, but heading out on the spur of the moment. He said it quite simply, but it’s not something that can be done so quickly.

「Haah, I’ve secluded myself in my house and read a plethora of books so I knew the basics of something like military tactics.」

This guy says ‘basics’ but now the future regarding my ambition to become King is looking a little bleak.

「However, the villagers got overly excited because of winning so handedly and even got the surrounding villages involved, creating their own little paradise......and even saying things like running off to Magrado.」

It appears Tristan never intended to create the rebel army.

「They suggested to run away many times, but never listened to me when I told them I wouldn’t go. They kept telling me how I was the boss and how I was invincible. Haah......as a result, I couldn’t stay behind at home, and came here while knowing how foolish it was. You know the rest, don’t you? We repeatedly drove away the governor’s soldiers and thought this time would be the end but-」

He heaves another large sigh, and awkwardly avoids eye contact when Celia and Myla glare at him.

「In the first place, I’m not the type of person who’s suited to telling people what to do. I knew that, so I wanted to read books on my own and enjoy my life, but things just turned out this way. The people who say ‘you are the one who chooses how to live’ are wrong; there’s nothing you can do with your strength alone. If I was born 10 years earlier, I would have opened a bookstore and would be living in some other city......」

He’s starting to mumble something to himself. He’s a completely different person compared to Leopolt, but is quite the interesting individual. Moreover, it is rare for anyone who has no experience in the army nor any formal education to be able to take command like he has.

「So, regarding how you will be dealt with.」

「Haah......the masterminds get executed, right? It’s not like I particularly hold a grudge against you, so if I could ask for it to be painless at the very least......no, that would be scary too, so perhaps do it while I’m sleeping.」

「Would you like to come with me?」

「Huh?」

He sounded in disbelief, almost as if he couldn’t understand what I was saying. Myla looks at me in surprise while Celia gets angry to the point her hair is standing on end.

「Are you insane? You want to appoint a position to a rebel?」

「To such a rude man?!!」

Celia, your voice is sounding more like Irijina’s nowadays. Is she gradually influencing you?

「It would be a waste to kill someone as talented in the military fields as you are. If you come with me, your crime of rebellion will be disregarded.」

This guy is definitely skilled, and my work in the army will definitely be reduced if he comes onboard, making it easier for me to swing my spear on the battlefield.

「I decline.」

The elbow I rested on the table slips unexpectedly. I didn’t think he would refuse in this situation.

「You bastard!」

My cute Celia, don’t draw your sword. Come sit on my lap.

「I never liked doing work in the first place, and being a soldier gets me dizzy. I don’t want to listen to or give out instructions either.」

His detachedness is somewhat similar to Adolph’s attitude but there is a distinctive difference between them.

「I would prefer dying than working like a horse for some savage army.」

He hates the idea of working at all. He doesn’t need status nor authority and has little thought towards working for the sake of the people. He just wants to live his life leisurely.

Then this will be quick. A slight grin appears on my face.

「Wh-what is it?」

Tristan seems to have noticed and is making a reluctant face.

「Then I’ll give up on appointing you to a job, but you might change your mind. Execution can’t be undone......so why don’t I make you work hard labor for about 10 years? You’ll be doing physical labor from morning to night everyday.」

Tristan’s face twitches.

「I’ll be waiting in anticipation for your commanding ability while you get put into a group of burly men. Of course, you’ll be sleeping in the same area with them as well.」

「Kuh......」

To him, 10 years of hard labor is worse than dying. But he doesn’t look like he has the guts to end his own life.

「If you become my subordinate, you will come to Rafen. There’s a bookstore there so I think you’ll be able to read plenty more books.」

「Grrr......」

Ooh, he’s wavering. If only I could give him one more push with something.

「......I want to calm down a little, so could I get some tea?」

Oh, he loves tea, how fortunate.

「There’s no comparing your ordinary peddlers with Rafen when it comes to tea. My wife is quite obsessed with it, you see.」

This is the truth. Because of Nonna, we don’t only have tea leaves from all over the Central plains, but also from various places in the Federation. The amount of varieties rivals even that of the capital’s, or this is what I heard her boasting about to Carla anyway.

「I understand......but please don’t expect too much of me. I have absolutely no interest of becoming a soldier. Because of this incident, I have come to hate people expecting something of me.」

「Alright, I’m expecting lots from you Tristan.」

「Haah......I feel like my future self of 10 years would have desperately tried to reject this proposal.」

Tristan never stopped sighing. It wouldn’t be a good idea to declare him as the commander in front of the soldiers he orchestrated to kill, so I made him my follower for now.

Thus, I obtained a man by offering him a bookstore and some tea. It goes without saying, I don’t plan to sleep with him.

「Leopolt, do you have any thoughts?」

After being defeated by him, he might have some complex feelings about all this.

「No, having another skilled individual is a good thing on our side.」

「You really think so?」

「Yes, I don’t have any trivial emotions.」

I pester him further and ask him again while taking a peek at his face, causing him to sigh. This guy’s sighs are many times more irritating than Tristan’s.

「Don’t you have other people who you should be cheering up instead?」

Leopolt gazes over at Celia, who is obviously agitated with her cheeks all puffed up, and Myla, who appears calm but is clearly sulking a little.

「Then I’ll be going. I’ll leave the rest to you.」

「I understand.」

Things have been settled anyways, so might as well tend to my women.

「Nnbh, nnh! Nnh! Nnh!」

「Chhyubh, nnh–......nnboh!」

I lie down on the bed with my penis standing at attention. Myla and Celia are licking the towering member from both sides, alternatingly stuffing it in their mouths.

「That’s great, it feels awesome. Do it faster.」

「Mmhkay.」「Yeshh.」

When they start moving more intensely, loud slurping sounds can be heard as I bring the ass in front of me closer to my face. Luna, who is sitting on top of my chest, brings her vagina and ass close to my mouth. Without hesitation, I lick and suck on her, making her squeal in pleasure.

At first, Luna insisted she wouldn’t let me lick her ass when she hasn’t taken a bath yet, but after telling her it would be my way of thanking her personally after fighting so bravely, she shyly got on top of me and lowered her ass to my face. She loves getting her pussy and ass licked, but believes it to be something quite rude to ask of me, so she never requests it. As proof of that, she grinds her ass against me when I slip my tongue inside her hole.

Irijina is letting me use her thighs as a pillow, while I fondle her breasts. Her thighs aren’t that soft, but it’s not all that bad. When I pinch her nipples, she starts breathing and panting heavily.

「Nnh, I’m about to cum again. Next is Myla.」

「Aah, alright.」

The four girls pause what they’re doing as I hold Myla and press down against her.

「Nnh.」

「Aaauaah!!」

Inserting myself in Myla’s already slippery vagina, I move my hips furiously from the start and ejaculate as the both of us entwine our fingers together. After kissing her neck and breasts and playfully biting occasionally, I once again lie on my back.

The girls switch their initial positions and begin caressing me again. With such devoted caressing, I am brought to climax soon and I choose one of them to make love with and finish off by ejaculating. The girls seem to love when I do this, so I repeat this for all of them. They prefer being 1-on-1 with me the most when they get close to orgasm. Myla is usually up in arms about how lewd we’re being, but is probably pent up after going through life-and-death battles, seeing as how proactive she is now.

Even so, a man loves enjoying everyone altogether, so I’ll enjoy myself with the last shot.

「Alright, this will be the last one!」

I lay the large Irijina on her back and have Myla and Luna suck on my dick. I thought Celia would want to kiss me, but she wants to heighten my arousal and licks my asshole instead.

「Uoooh!!」

I let a groan escape my lips as I pull my dick out from the girls’ mouths and point my meat rod at Irijina before releasing my load. In an instant, she is covered from head to toe with my seed.

「Alright, now lick it clean.」

「Right.」「Yes.」「Irijina-san......」

「Oooh!? Everyone’s going to do it!?」

The three girls begin to lick the seed I sprayed on Irijina’s body. Their tongues crawl all over, naturally running over her nipples and vagina as well, causing Irijina to writhe in pleasure.

「Don’t move.」

If she continues to struggle, she would swing Celia away, so I hold down both her hands.

「Aah! Their soft tongues are crawling all over my body!!」

Having the semen slurped off her body with the girls’ tongues cause her to feel strangely aroused. Myla and Luna run their tongue across Irijina’s stomach and meet each other’s, entangling their tongues while they were at it. Eventually, the two of them raised their faces up from Irijina’s stomach and kiss each other passionately.

Umu, how nice of these fellow female warriors to share the battlefield and get along in the bedroom. The two of them continue their messy kissing, making plenty of slurping noises and exchanging saliva as well as the seed they scooped up. This scene is quite unbearable, as I feel my dick getting hard again, even though I thought the previous shot was my last.

Celia saw this from the corner of her eye and turned her ass towards me, spreading her genitals open with her hands.

「Aegir-sama, here is a hole you can use to relieve yourself.」

The unyielding Myla and Luna turn their pussies towards me while continuing to entangle their tongues.

「There are holes here too. Two of them.」

Before I knew it, Irijina has started to lick my cock while she’s still laying on her back.

This night isn’t over yet.
