I sat in the throne room of Brusch, the light shining from the stained glass behind me. In this room stood those who I learned to trust.

The Baron, the man who is more or less running my nation. He is my trusted advisor, and probably needs a new title here soon. Meh, hes Baron to me an’ always will be.

The one next to him was Mrt the Skeleton. Powerful fellow, caused a good part of the nation to die when he decided to take things into his own hands. Now though he works with me as an ally, believing that we can save da world.

There were two gals standing next to me. Exe, the girl who is more or less my girlfriend if you say assassination attempts count as successful dates. On the other side was Dolly, a Coon Girl who’s basically a pretty powerful assassin. Hell, she was apparently fighting off three more assassins before I made it back to the capital.

The last fellow in the room was a messenger who seemed pretty out of breath. He took a momen’ before staightenin’ himself, “My Lord,” He kept on breathin’ heavily, “I don’t know how to say this but Melromarc has gone into chaos! They have mobilized their elite forces to capture the Shield, who stands accused of kidnapping Princess Malty!”

The Baron spoke, “I have heard rumors that there was a broadcast throughout the event through Melromarc, do you have it?”

“Y-yes! Yes I do!” He fished out somethin that looked like a crystalball. Next instant it made a TV screen in the air showing the Shield grabbing onto a girl with a sadistic grin, blood coming from the girl. The next momen’ a bunch of spells smashed into his shield and the video went on repeat.

“I don’ believe it for one second.” It was the first thing that came out of my mouth, “the Boi’s not the kind of person to just kidnap little girls.”

“I agree.” Was what Mrt said, “The image has obviously been tampered with. Crystal Recorders are quite notorious for being easy to tamper, since they are the same thing used in cinemas.”

I laid back into my chair, “Are we ready to welcome him? He might be coming in a little hot.”

The Baron shook his head, “I’m afraid our border has been blockaded by the Melromarcians. They have even gone as far as activating the Wall of Morain on Siltvelt.”

>Well then, what should we do?

>>3753307
Prepare the army! I shall be preparing some plant monsters to use en mass. Messenger. I charge you with delivering a demand to the kingdom of Melromarc. They are to remove their invasion force from out border or else.

I'd like to know what the ability giantification does.

I stood from my chair, hell I didn’ like it much anyways. “Can ya send me a message to Melromarc?”

“Y-yes I can King Borris.”

“Then I wish for you to give these demands to dat King, Holy King Borris demands you remove the invasion force from da border, or else.”

“I understand! Is there anythings you need of me!”

I shook my head, the kid running at blazing speeds out the door. I mean hell, he might make it to Melromarc within a day.

I settled back into the chair, “Well Baron, seems we need to raise an army eh?”

“Yes, I will prepare to organize the Adventurers Corps and malitia. Hell I bet you the Barons will be coming through to give their support.” He grew a small smile, “You are getting fit in your role?”

“I’m tryin friend.” I turned to Exe an’ Dolly, “I need to stick around, so can I trust da two of ya to go get Shield Boi?”

“You can~” Exe said with a coy smile, “We just need to find him, then Mrt can extract us.” Dolly gave a nod to all that.

Well with that I got back up from my seat, “Well take some extra fellows just in case. I gotta head out an’ make a millitary out of plants.”

>Well, how you guys wanna build these plant monsters? I assume loyalty is automatic but otherwise you have free reign and a lot of levels.

Shield Bio Seed

>>3755505
Save some to make another monster set out of.
Don't worry about fertility growth rate 15. Int 6, adaptation 20. Should cost us 29. Put the rest of the points into armor, attack, and speed. Lean towards armor and speed. I want to use these as a group of light tank divisions to punch through the enemy defensive line and disorganize Melromarc forces.

Those extra we saved. dump the points in a similar manner but make attack and range the highest stat. I want something that can fuck up a castle wall or border fort.

>>3755640
Might as well.

After a good bit of work I created somethin’ nice to fight with. Here was da results:

Bio-Fighter

Growth Rate: 15 / 50
Fertility: 3 / 50

Special Effects:
Edible Fruit, Loyal, Natural Weapons Low, Speed Medium, Armor Medium

Available Mod Points: 0

With that I made my way into da fields, throwing one of the seeds onto the ground. Suddenly out came a tree like fucker sporting four legs. It kind of looked like a cross between one of my wolf’s an’ an armadillo.

After a little more tinkering I made another:

Bio-Artillery

Growth Range: 3 / 50
Growth Rate: 15 / 50
Fertility: 3 / 50

Throwing one of them into the ground out came a catapult looking things sporting a giant ass berry. I decided to yell, “Fire!” An’ watched as a few bushes of Shieldberry were destroyed. Gotta say I wanna watch this fucker goin’ at somethin’ much bigger.

>About to have a time skip unless you guys wanna do somethin’ proactive.

>>3755859
Start having these plants March to Melromarc's border. We'll inform Barron we're going to be heading that way, but ask him to compose a letter to Silvet. Start by offering them some shield Berry seeds in exchange for a meeting with their king/queen in the very near future.
Them we move ahead of our army of plant monsters towards the border.

To our left a range of mountains that seemed to stretch as far as my eye can see. To my right was the seas, somethin’ I never really gave much care about. Infront of me however was Melromarc, and a hell of a lot of soldiers. Been a couple of days and none of them have budged an inch.

“It seems they have not heeded our warning.” Said da Baron in his war gear, “I wonder what will happen once the Shield gets here.”

“Dunno, was my message sent to Siltvelt atleast?”

“Aye, they said they would welcome a meeting in their country,” The man looked at me with a questioning eye, “Though may I ask why give their council so much?”

“Well we are both about to go into war, ya?” I looked towards the bright lights dat were coverin their border, “Faubleys been bullyin them too? Why don’t we teach both dem nations with our combinded powers?”

“You say that but…” Da Baron’s looked towards what were fields of monsters I planted, “Your newest creations could tear anyone a new one.”

“Thats what I’m hoppin’.”

As we finished a connection snapped into my mind, [The Shield Hero has been retrieved from Melromarc, Borris, and he did indeed bring the Princess.]

Trooper count
5,000 adventurers
15,000 skilled militia
15,000 Bio Soldiers
500 Bio-Artillery

>What to do?

>>3756891
[Return connection.] "Good work, attempt to get in contact with the Queen of Melromarc to inform her that her daughter is safe and she can come and pick her up any time.]

Alright. Spread out our forces almost evenly along the boarder but stay back a fair distance from the actual border. Bio artillery should be treated as a support company and spread between groups of soldiers. Concentrate 5,000 of our biosoldiers which should count as tank units and have considerable movement speed at two points at even spaces on the Melromarc border. We should stay back a short distance from said border, when the enemy sends their spearhead the bio-tanks will engage and begin an envelopment maneuver while infantry moves to meet and secure the encirclement, which should if not make the enemy surrender, make them easier to defeat.

[Aye, can ya get one of dem speedsters to send a message? I wanna tell dat Queen she can come get her fuckin’ daughter while we defend our nation.]

[That can be arranged. Enjoy your war.]

An’ with that the connection snapped. I sighed an’ turned towards da Baron, “Well, we got dem. Lets get some of our men into position, I have a feelin’ we are gonna have a war.”

We waited there for what I guess was a few hours, the men arrangin’ themselves into a more combat ready formation. Luckily the plants didn’ really tire, standing tall through out the long afternoon. We looked over the open plain that was the border, seeing who would move first.

As we watched over the enemy lines I noticed ‘em parting in the middle. A sharp eye could easily tell it was da Spear Stud. At his side was da Bitch, who was clamerin on his side. He stared down the soldiers, who didn’ let him through.

He seemed to notice I was watchin’ everything from a hill, and I could somehow hear him yellin, “We have come here to save Melty’s sister, Jim! The Shield has a mind control ability and has brainwashed her! Hell, he probably got your party!”

>He brandished his spear, “You are either going to let me through to rescue her, or I will fight my way in! Your choice!”

>>3758387
You should know the bow hero fell as well, unable to see reality. The 3 heroes church has turn its back on me and shield, war is approaching for everyone between nations. And you are another puppet being used against what is left of the heroes trying to fight the waves.
Another puppet, another pawn, it does not matter. If you fight me I will treat you as an enemy.
Pull out our flaming sword and point at him. Stand aside or else.

>>3758387
The princess is awaiting the arrival of her mother in the safety of my lands. I recovered my citizen after my observers recovered a modified recording Gem. You will take this army back to Melromarc or there shall be consequences for taking part in King Altcray's aggression.

Support. Also have a bump OP.

I stood at the edge of my little hill looking over the valley, "Ya know the Bows gone to Faubley and is insane Spear Stud? How the fuckin Three Heroes church has turned against me an da Shield? They are the fuckers causing this mess and are using ya! Hell, I'm going to have day Queen come to pick up her daughter."

He didn' seem to answer for a momen' thinking bout that I said, but the momen' he turned to see the Bitch makin' puppy dog eyes at him he steeled up, "I'm not being used, I'm following my heart! If the Queen gets close to the Shield he will just brainwash her as he's done everyone else!"

I sighed and pointed my Rightous Saint Sword printed at him with the holy flames coming off of it, "If you come over, you will be my enemy wether you are being used or not Kid. As of now, any enemy who faced me has died."

"Then I'll just have to save everyone." And he crossed the border, bashing away the troops who got in his way.

From what I can see there are two forces, a main body equaling about as many as I brought, and what looks to be cavalry.

>Well, how am I gonna punish this kid?

>>3759473
*Our army should be fighting Defensively, so we'll have the advantage thanks to artillery, but the cavalry and the infantry supporting it will be the objective of the two groups of 5,000 biosoldier's for encirclement.

We will fight the spear and his harram/bitch by doing spam attacks with [ripple strike] and the soul eater sword. This should force him on the defensive or to approach us and ,[fortress] or ]ability boost] should be used to block or avoid attacks whichever is more viable against Spear. Getting into Melee and past his spears reach is our objective thought, as he along with the bow and Ten if we weren't in his place never bothered to learn how actually fight with their weapons. We do have to watch out for his mage pussy pose though, so we may need support if we aren't fast enough with the soul eater sword and it's Mana drain.*

Ah.
Then why not get some really good smiths + ourselves to craft some top tier guns then give those guns to some Lvl 1 guys and train them up so they can get lot's of high % bonuses? essentially make a handful of top tier snipers instead of lot's of infantry?

>>3760046
At low levels the guns are quite literally pea shooters. The bullets go through the air like it's in slow motion.

Lastly, you need to keep in mind Shields can withstand guns because of this. That means a phalanx could cross a deadman's land.

>Lastly, you need to keep in mind Shields can withstand guns because of this. That means a phalanx could cross a deadman's land.
Well damn.

Without a second thought I charged at his position, my men readying their weapons to take on the incoming force.

The first to receive was the infantry as they were soon peppered by our artillery. The men would raise their shields to take the fruit, but soon they were covered in the acid. It was pretty nasty watching all those men cry about their burns.

As that happened I was already upon the idiot. He else his spear and yelled, "[Meteor Spear]!"

A spear of white light came sailing at me, and I swiftly dodged it. Now without his skills I yelled, "[Ability Boost], [Fortress], [Ripple Strike]!" My skin tightening I made several strikes at him

He tried to dodge, but all the attacks smacked right into the fellow. With a quick strike I slammed my bumble I to his gut, getting a wiff of Mana from the Soul Eater Sword. He looked like shit with just those hits.

"Faust Healing, Faust Speed!" I looked over to see a group of three girls chanting spells. He seemed reinvigorated as all those effects hit him. Though as I looked I one of the gals looked like she was panicin'.

>Next step?

Looks like Jimmy is still pissed at his failure of catching Bow.

The Cavalry made their charge, of course they would pierce the frontliners no matter how skilled they were. The fighters made their push towards the artillery that were baggering their front liners.

Den the fuckin plants got in their way.

From da corner of my eye I watched as they collided with da plant like tanks. At first it looked like they were gonna have a chance, then the plants went on the offensice. With strong claws came forth an’ tore right into the monsters they were riding.

I watched almost stunned as the plants used their claws to rend man after man. Then men came at them with fire from behind, mages helping them. It would have been a slaughter, but suddenly the plants went weird.

They struck themselves into the ground, drawing up dirt that covered their hides. Soon the fire did nothin’ to them, and I knew it was gonna be a slaughter.

Reason I could watch that was because the fuckin’ spear was weak. He charged at me, and I bashed him off to the side with ease. He collapsed on his feet but soon got up as the chorus of his girls sang magic.

“Damn you! How are you so strong!?” Yelled the kid as he started getting up again.

I didn’ even pay him much attention, as ofcourse we were gonna do this song an’ dance again, “[Big Stick Policy]!” And with that I sent him flying. Next momen’ I charged at the girls, and they tried to run away.

I bashed my sword into the guts of the two nameless gals, sending them far away. They weren’t gonna die from that, but I sure as hell knocked them out.

“Y-you can’t do this! What about my-” An with another murder stroke I bashed her stomach in.

“You bastard! [Meteor Spear]!” I side stepped another of his attacks, and stuck my foot out. THe fucker tripped on it, and I smacked him in the stomach mid air. After a nice sound he fell over knocked out like the others.

Looking over at the armies now, the Melromacians were routing without a Cavalry. The Bio-Soldiers along with any other man was gonna clean them up.

>Well, what are we gonna do with this fucker?

>>3761212
Offer mercy to the soldiers who surrender, but they must stay as prisoners. Don't wanna have them rat out info back to the church.
For now let's just detain them for a bit, plenty of cells at our place. And keep extra eyes on you-know-who all the time.
Once Shield boi arrives we'll discuss what to do with him. I'm in favor of showing Spear the whole truth.

>>3761378
gather up spear boy and his party. Especially bitch. I knew adaptable and intellegence was a good investment on the tanks.

Have mrt come up with a special cell for spear if possible.

I walked my way through a portal with my prinsoners in tow. Da Baron was given orders to hold the border, who gave me a laugh sayin, “Of course hes going to attack again, we’ve got both of his kids. Hell, might get the lazy ass off his chair.”

Which lead me to comin here, seeing Exe an’ Dolly along with Shield, his animals, Mrt, and a purple haired little girl. The first one to say anythin’ was Exe, “Ara ara, you have quite the hull.”

“Aye but I gotta say it was too fuckin easy. Hey Mrt can ya make a good cage for these fellows?”

“I can I think.” The skeleton said while rubbin his chin, “I will need some time to design it.”

“Thanks Skele. So Shield hows your week been?”

“Fucked up.” He looked like a dead man walkin, “Thank fucking God someone believes I’m innocent.”

“Ha! Pray to him more then, I knows hes listening.” I went over an’ patted his back, “So this little one the Princess?”

Before the Shield could answer the girl stepped forward, “Yes, I am Princess Melty of Melromarc. I thank you for rescuing the shield and myself.”

“Aye, just be thankful I knew Shield Boi so well.”

“Yes, though may I ask, am I to be your prisoner?”

I looked her up an’ down, “Whatcha sayin’? Your mother should be on her way I think.”

Her eyes lit, “Really!? Do you know when she will make it here!?”

“Not really, sent the message earlier this mornin’.”

>“So,” My attention was brought to good ol’ Shield Boi, “I’m going to go get some fuckin sleep, you got an idea on what we’re gonna do next? I don’t think Trash is going to stay back.”

>>3761792

Both of these

“I have left troops guardin da border. If he comes he will be facin’ my new creations.” I turned towards the Princess, “Whats your mother thinkin’ ‘bout all this?”

“I do not really know much about her thoughts,” Said da girl, “She wanted me to try and repair our relationships with the Shield and Father.”

“Is that so? Well whats your guess?”

She seemed to still be a good bit timid but was obviously thinkin, “She is probably furious with father. With the Three Heroes Church taking control of all military functions, it would be dangerous even for her to return home.”

She looked up to me, “And for Brusch, your nation, she wants to be your ally. I don’t know what she wants to do to make that happen, but she does.”

“Thank you Princess.” I turned to everyone, “well you all probably need some sleep, go get some. Naofumi, your gonna be comin’ with me to Siltvelt.”

“Siltvelt, why?”

“You are gonna help me make some friends up there, if ya don’t mind.”

He gave a shurg, “Fine by me, though I want to ask something. Do you guys by chance have an hourglass?”

“If you are wantin’ to class up your companions, go on ahead. Just be sure to rest.”

With that they all went out, Exe and Dolly takin rests as well.

>Anything you all wanna do before headin to Siltvelt?

>>3762779
Assign some engineers to build fortifications along the Brusch-Melromarc border, that fucking king or church will throw everything to breach our lines. Take away the spear from the boy and carry it with us in a bag. I do not want another bow hero to occur.

>>3762789
We can't. That spers attached to him he literally can't leave contact with it. Like Shield usually keeps it to really small shield.

>Go down to prison to talk with spear if he's up or visit bows girl if not she must still be depressed or something after bow did his get away.

I made my way down into the dungeons, the sounds of men mumblin’ to themselves becomin’ more prominent. Instead of takin’ a direct rout to the dungeons at the left, I took a right into the warden’s quarters.

I openned the door to a small room that didn’ have a warden, but instead a small little girl. She had her head restin’ on a table while not doin’ much of anythin’.

“Oi, Risha, ya doin’ okay.”

She twitched a litte before turnin her head, “No.”

I gave a sigh, “Ya know it wasn’ you fault he got out right?”

“fueee...” She started deflating, “Its not that Itsuki got away. Itsuki changed, and its worrying.”

I went ahead an’ grabbed onto her colar, “Come on, I need ya to help me talk to someone.”

“W-wait what!?” But she wasn’ really able to fight back, and so I dragged her to Mrt’s quarters.

We arrived to Mrt’s quarters to see da Spear bound in chains. It kind of looked like a torcher device, but I soon realised what it was for. The Kid couldn’ really get his spear ready when hes like that can he?

“Ah, Borris what brings you to my courters?” Risha gave a yelp as she saw Mrt.

“Well we need to speak to the dumbass, can ya wake him?”

“I should be able,” He picked up a bucket of water and dumped it ontop of the kids head. Next moment he was up, lookin hella confused.

“W-what the hell!? W-where am I!?”

>Well what you wantin to tell him?

>>3763889

“Welcome to da dungeons, you are currently my prisoner.”

He tried to strain the chains, but he can’t even do that. I swear I could see that skeleton smilin’ as he watched over this, “You bastard!”

I gave a sigh, “An’ your an idiot. May I ask you who was the person who told you about this, ‘brainwashin’?”

“Malty did! Now where is she!” He strained against the chains again.

“It seems he is surely under the thumb of the champion.” Mrt said steppin forward, “Hero of the Spear, do you understand who that girl is?”

“Champion, what are you talking about you skeleton!”

The Skeleton gave a hearty laugh, “Why she is not really just the person known as Malty, but the soul of a person from who knows how long ago being continually reincarnated by a God of Calamity.” HIs eyes grew a nasty red, “She is to say, our enemy.”

“Im-impossible!” His face went crazy, “Your lying to me!”

“Oh, but theres more” I said without missin a beat, “We other heroes were attacked. Risha, could you tell him about what happened to da bow?”

“Y-yes…” She walked forward, “Itsuki was awaiting his punishment when they attacked. He was… distant before they came, barely eating his food. When they attacked though, he… snapped.”

“And now hes gone to Faubley with the real ability to control minds.” I turned to him with a stare, “Have I done anything against Melromarc or the Three Heroes Church!? NO!”

I went over and grabbed onto his collar, “So do you realise you are in the wrong and were used?”

He silent as I held onto him, lookin at me like his whole world was shattered. I went ahead and left the room, hopping that hes gonna make the right choise.

>As I went through the door, I wasn’t alone. Next to me was Mrt, “We have captured a Champion of the Calamity. As per our agreement I wish to start my research if you don’t mind.”

She has info lots of it. She's the little bitch that is trying to break the world plus she might know thing or 2 about Whip.

Guys, seriously. Don't let Mrt do his experiments until AFTER the queen learns she's calamity's champion.

And so we made our way into the dungeons, mainly to the cell holding the first princess of Melromarc. She looked up defiantly at us as we stood there, “What do you want.”

“Information.” I reached into my pocket and brought out a small vile, “Now your gonna need to stand still.”

Her eyes widened, but before she could do anything Mrt pointed at her, “[Hold Person]” and then she stopped moving.

“Y-you bastard!”

“Nah, your just a Bitch.” An’ I placed a droplet of blood into the vial. With a little work I drew the seal, and she gave a scream as the seal did its magic.

“I cannot,” Is what he said while bringin out a small orb lookin’ things, “I can however record the event.”

“Eh, good enough.” I turned to the gal who soon dropped from da paralyzing stuff, “You are goin’ to tell me nothin’ but da truth, ya hear.”

“Y-you bastard! I won’t tell you anything!” She was crawling into the back of the room in what I could call complete fear.

“First on my list,” I made a show of my hands, “Did you frame Naofumi?”

“I did n-” Before she could finish saying anything my, frankly shitty, slave crest glowed real angry. Soon she was curled up like a fetus.

“Ya know da pain will only stop if ya answer truely.”

“Fine! I did! I FUCKING FRAMED THE BASTARD!”

Soon the seal stop glowin, leavin’ me to smile, “Next on da list would be, ‘What have you done to sabotage or missguide the heroes?’”

Da thing glowed for a momen’ before she started spillin da beans, “I fucked over the Shield, as you just heard me. I snuck out, stole all his money, and left him to the guards.” Her face started turning from pained child to a deviant, “The only other was the Spear, as I guess sifting away half his party counts as sabotage.”

“Okay, what are your opinions of the Spear anyways.”

She grew a smirk, “Easy to control. Ha, he doesn’t even know where half of his party disappeared off to. Once he gives me a fucking child and marries me I would be set for life.”

“And where did they end up?”

“Most were kiled by the shadows.” She said off-handedly, “Though one I just loafed, so shes currently in a brothel being some guy’s fuck girl.”

“Hot damn girl!” I said while turnin to a smiling Skeleton, “I mean damn.”

I received a shrug, “She was nurtured by a calamity, you should expect worse.”

“So whats next.” I turned my head to her, “Come on, ask away. Even if I tell you everything father will just say you faked it.”

“Just like the Shield. Well then whats your plans for Melromarc anyways? You got somethin’ steaming don’t ya?”

Her smirk grew wider, “Why I’m gonna take the place over. Once Meltys dead by the Three Heroes Church and I have the Spear’s child, I will be Queen by default.”

“And for the international stage?”

“Killing you.”

“Well your shit at it.” I said with one more thing in mind, “You know anything about a goddess?”

She soon lost her frown, “I do not. What are you talking about.”

“And the Whip?”

Her eyes grew wide, “He’s my emergency plan if Melromarc goes under. I’ve taken his virginity, so it should be easy to get him back under my thumb.”

“And cut.” I turned to Mrt, “Well what do you think of dis all?”

>“Plenty.” He said while spinning the ball, “Do you want me to have these distributed to all corner of your influence or something else?”

>>3765878
Distrabute them people need to know plus spies and gossips will lap this up like the finest cream so everyone who gives a fluf will know soon after. I guess let's give a copy to spear tomorrow I probably should be with him (Naos presence optional) then... For all the trouble I like him we had fun in the bar. Not his fault being manipulated and I don't want him to sink in sin like the kid did.

>>3765878
spread it across the land let all know of Malty's crimes but especially show the Spear, Shield, Melty, the Queen and King of Melromarc

The next mornin’ since da release of da recordin’ I came into da dinnin’ room ‘long with Dolly. Sitting there was a depress lookin’ Princess, da angel lookin’ girl patting her back, Nao’s Coon and the man himself lookin at da tapes like some detective, “So what ya think of da tapes?”

“Worrisome.” Said Nao as he leaned back into his chair, “She got what she deserved. She causes so much trouble for something she probably would have gotten by default.” He grew a small smirk, “Shes just a bitch.”

“Sis has always been like that…” Said da Princess as she stretched onto the table, “Mama was thinking of cutting her from the throne. Now though, shes done enough to recieve execution.”

“Well in any case its time for some-” Just as I was about to sit down Dolly put her hand infront of me.

“Shadows. Atleast ten.”

The Princess’s eyes widened, “That must be-” Before the little girl could finish da door to our room slammed open revealing a purple hair beauty. While she was wearing nice clothin’, she looked like she just threw down with a boar.

She approached me with a fury in her eyes, which caused both Exe an’ Dolly to draw their weapons. The glass of the windows shattered to welcome a bunch of those Ninja fuckers. Already Naofumi was protecting da Princess as if on instinct, his fellows movin’ in sync.

>”Release my Daughters, King of Brusch!”

>>3766760
kukuku.

>>3766760
"Melty is under the protection of the shield hero so she isn't a captive and Malty is a criminal and a bitch."

>>3766760
"Hey Nao, show 'er Melty."
After they're reunion, we sit her down to talk.
"I gotta say, your older daughter is a piece of work. But also a piece of shit."
Tell the guards to bring her up in shackles.

>>3766760
"They're yours to take m'lady. Melty is merely a guest. Malty is free to be introduced to your custody as you see convenient. Your soldiers who surrendered yesterday as well."

I should ask, are you guys gonna give her Malty or not? You still have the agreement with Mrtyr to let him have her as a test subject.

>>3766887
He only wants her soul. If she wants to execute her. We can request. . Arrangements.

>>3766760
"Took ye long enough. We could have had a BQ for the family reunion." Bring up the chained bitch and give her the recordings.

>>3766887
malty sucks and so she will stay plus we cant show weakness nor that were unreasonable so giving melty but not malty does that

>>3766791
Support.
>I really can't let her go show her the crystal. For what's it's worth I'm sorry that she dug her own grave.

I looked over towards Naofumi and the Princess, who was lookin towards her mother in fuckin horror. After a momen’ I sighed, “Guards, go get da Princess from da dungeon.”

I waited a momen’, but dere was no response. The gal just kept on starin’ daggers at me but the Shadows seemed to shift for a momen. I kneeled to Dolly, “Go get her, I can see ‘em all.”

As Dolly disappeared I took a step forward, “Took ya long enough, we could’ve had a good ol’ BBQ for da reunion.”

Her eyes narrowed, “You should have prepared for it, since you knowingly embarrassed me and my entire nation.”

I shrugged, “You should have kept a good ol’ eye on da Missis. Now about your daughters” I pointed towards Melty, “Shes under da protection of Naofumi, whos a citizen of my country. Ask him if you want her back.”

The Queen looked learingly towards the girl, who while shakin’ a little gave her a nod, “Very well. But where is my first daughter.”

The middle of the room lit with a black portal, the sounds of chains clanging as out came Dolly and the Princess, followed by Mrt. The Skeleton held onto the chain dat bound the princess.

“Mom! Help me! They are going to kill me!” yelled the girl towards a worried looking Queen.

"I gotta say, your older daughter is a piece of work. But also a piece of shit."

The Queen bit on her bottom lip as she looked toward us. I swear it seeemed like she was tryin’ to think really fuckin fast, “Malty, you idiot.”

“Your not going to give her up are you?” da Shadows seemed to start drawing their weapons.

“Nah, shes a criminal who lead an army to my lands and a bitch. Of course if you wanna execute her for treason I’d be more den happy to let dat happen.”

“...” She looked upon her daughter with a blazing anger before raising her hand,

>”Rescue my daughters!” and she brought it down.

Honestly it was gonna go fifty fifty. She said it in the novel she would let Naofumi kill her instead to save Malty. She is however a manipulator whos entire plan has gone haywire, so shes not thinking.

>>3767106
>Nao a hand pleases! Just fight to incapacitate and not kill the shadows. Use infect sword how I love that skill. [Fortres] [Big Stick] to keep the prisoner.

>>3767118
support. Its moonshine time

>>3767106
"Won't make it easy then. And here I was ready to offer a white peace."

Focus on speed over power. Our damage and truesight should be enough to overpower the shadows numbers. What we need to do is ensure she can't brute Force her way out. The queen must accept the lower hand.

And here I thought my 76 was pretty good.

>>3767106
>>3767763
>>3767663
Can these be added together to a crit? I mean its rare to get high DOUBLES! But either way the queen got screw when she went against the servant of God.

“And here it was I was gonna give ya an easy peace.” I drew da sword, “Okay, I don’ wan’ any of ‘em dead. Otherwise, do what ya wan’.”

With my dat said, everyone from my side went into action.

First was Dolly, who rushed between a pair of da shadows who tried to cut her head off. She ducked under ‘em, rollin’ to their behinds an’ givin’ them a nice few scratches in the arms an’ legs. They fell like flies.

Exe just took a few steps forward and put away her sword. Another pair came after her to try an’ stab her only to recieve a nice punch in da gut.

Most of ‘em however came towards Mrt, about four in all. Dey were comin’ at him fast, but den they just stopped. Da next momen’, they all fell onto the ground. A couple even started snorin’.

The remainder stood at her side as I stepped forward. They threw some daggers dat didn’ even peirce my blessed armor.

“[Big Stick Policy], [Infect Blade].” An’ with two slashes I sent them to opposite sides of the room, knockin’ em out cold.

>And with her shadows out for da count, da queen just stared at me in horror.

you have two options
1. stay here as a prisoner of war and give tell us all you know of the church, other countries and other valuable info or
2. be let go but killed if/when there is future conflict between out nations

>>3768132
For forcing me to raise my hand, I must rescend the intended offer of status quo ante bellum. I now must require you to surrender. Knight Exe, please restrain the shadows. Mrt. I would you to prepare the slave salv so Melromarc queen can question her own daughter rather than rely on recordings for judgement. And as for you Queen of Melromarc. You may have a guest chamber or a cell, either way I will have you get a grip before we continue, as I have great need of diplomacy than a captive.

>>3768177
She isn't thinking right now bud. Giving her options is a bad idea.

>>3768182
sure lets go for it

>>3768182
Let's do this then, all of them sounds decent enough.

>>3768182
Alright, but it better have an accent we all love about Jim.

>>3768132
>Why are ye lookin at me like dat? You drew first. I ain't possum. I am a fighter for the good lord's work.

>>3768182
Support.

I placed my sword toward her, “You been forcin my hand now, so I must take away dat offer of kindness I had. Will ya be takin the cell or da guest rooms.”

She looked toward me eyes with fear. Soon enough dough she nodded, “... the guest rooms.”

With dat I placed my sword away, “Okay everyone gather up da shadows. Mrt, can ya see about stretching dat slave slav to dis queen so shes sure I’m tellin’ her da truth.”

“Don’t waste it King Borris.” She said as she looked to me, “What she said was the full truth, and I knew it all. You however released it all to the public.”

“Hmm, so whats dat mean?”

She lowered her head, “Melromarc will be shunned, and there might even be a civil war.” She gave a small chuckle, “At least the Three Heroes Church will be killed. Your little broadcast has buried them along with my family.”

With her moppin’ I looked up at Dolly, “Take ‘er to da Guest Rooms.”

With a nod the Coon grabbed onto the Queens clothin’, the gal not resistin.

I looked over to see da Princess cowerin’ in complete fear. She didn’ try to run when she saw my stare, but she hide behind da Shield. Said guy just gave a sigh, “Well, its obvious where Bitch gets her Bitchiness from.”

“Aye.”

>What you guys wanting to do next? I think an execution are in order?

>>3769455
>Execution.

>There's a way to up the queen's public image tho she needs to denounce the bitch publicly and retake the power as all went to shit with King on the trone if she acts quick she can regain some respect by distancing herself from this mess. Not all respect will be regained but some will be and her future will be full of hard work to fix the mess...
>Might introduce her to spear with context you were used and I will not pretend I won't use you but let's work together to fix this mess along with deal to find him info where the sold party member is located.

>>3769455
Oops. Better check in on the queen after getting briefed on the front line. Maybe she can save her husbando's ass if she can successfully pull an Italy.

>>3769455
say sorry to melty and walk away, also try and make a plant that can act like the shadows but if we can't then try and train some people since the queen's will probably not want to cooperate even with the slave crest. and do what>>3769480 said.

>>3769455
First, apologize to Melty for how bad this peace talk went. Then take a page from canon I think we should begin preparing an execution but as the one most harmed by Bitch and the King that Naofumi and possibly Spear should have say over their punishment. Also for the civil war backing Melty and the Queen as not involved with what happened and the rightful rulers would be the best move to avoid this spiraling

>>3769482
We already have a shadow that had their slave crest undone. Let's have That one train others to operate for us without the slave crest. After all. The crest is reserved for our criminals, and we won't be ordering them to do anything underhanded.

As for executing Malty we should expect that this will cause the spear to go all cursed series lust and (sloth/envy?) on us so we should ask Mrt if there's a way to make her prove to him that she IS in fact a servent of the goddess sending the waves. If you recall the novels and manga, he basically says he never stops believing her until she betrays him.

>>3769787
>>3769473
>>3769787
I see supporting the Victor Emanuel 3 option has become rather popular. Only question is if the queen thinks it will work and is willing to strip her husband of any and all political authority.

Also, since she is basically an ousted ruler who needs to save face, i propose we recommend federalizing. Find a suitable king for Brusch, and become emperor.

Last thing. We need to have the queen and Naofumi sit down with us and hash out the do's and don'ts of diplomacy with Silvet. We need them to agree to an Austria-Hungary arrangement BEFORE we topple Altcray's ass from power.

>>3769794
While killing the bitch will put a bad taste in her mouth... She is the lady that enslaved her and the king to save their lives in canon so just striping king of political power is frankly merciful. That ass is not really politician either he's a fuck good general give him army he does miracles given nothing unexpected like our plants happen. Give him political power he does worse give the bitch wispering in his ear and old hatred about his sister this shit happens.

I went over an’ sat into my chair, da thing really calmin’ since my breakfast got ruined. Since it was about lunch time, I decided to instead each a Shieldberry Burrito on da throne. Those around were of course Exe an’ Dolly, but there was also the Shield, his followered, da Princess, and a new buff lookin’ fellow.

“I am Lt. Cenek of the forward legion,” He said with a belowin’ voice, “I’m her on the Baron’s behalf to tell you the state of the forward lines.”

“So, how are dey?”

He brought out a piece of paper, “The enemy army has dissolved from our borders. The Baron recommends that now is the time to wage a war of conquest if you desire so.”

Lookin’ towards da Princess, she was not lookin’ so well, “Princess, I am truely sorry ‘bout all dis.If it helps, I plan to place ya on da throne to keep things from going to shit.”

“Th-thank you.”

With dat done I hopped off my seat, “Doly, take me to where ya stuffed da Queen.”

We went down some hallways an’ up a few staircases. Soon we were infront of a door, an’ Dolly didn’ even bother to knock. Inside was da Queen starin’ out da window thinkin’, “You wish to know something, King Borris. I wanted to marry one of my daughters to the Shield, make it so Demi-humans are seen as equals. I… made some wrong decisions.”

I gave a shrug, “You trustin’ dat daughter of your not to do anythin’ was one of ‘em.”

“Yes.” She turned to me, “So, what is your plan for my nation?”

I shrugged, “I don’ really know yet. I’m surely gonna keep your daughter in power, but I’m still decidin’ on weather or not to make an’ empire.”

I heard a sigh come from the Queen, “At this point it will be hard to keep people’s faith in check. We need to do something they will love.”

>”Marry my daughter Melty. With the Sword as her husband, the people will see her as a saint and war will not happen.”

>>3769829
Denied. We both know that a simple marriage will not stop whatever string-pullings are happening in the background.
For now, let's focus on the Church. After they dealt with we can sit down and talk politics.

>>3769829
Denied. What if we take Melromarc as a vassal or protectorate? Being under the shield hero may give some assurance to the public that corruption will be stomped down.

>>3769876
>Support. Frankly as it stands we need to frame your return like a victory to the country. The rightful ruler returning and not liking the incompetents ruling now. (wouldn't even be false) Plus a written deal of peace and aliance with us that should be enough to prove a bit of competence to the masses. Granted there's a mess to clean for long time to come either way.
>Thinking you might convince spear to help out in cleaning this mess find his sold party member and be honest with him he might have bit of trust ishues after your daughter. (Need to inform him of goddess and give training tips too stud was weak.)

>>3769896
support
>>3769895
making them a vassal will make the queen seem weak though a prtectorate seems okay. using the shield may not be a good idea since the populace still scorn him so waiting a while will be the better bet

>>3769829
Denied, marriage for politics isn't Christian.
"Let me tell you a story about a country named Italy during the second world war."
Propose she lead her own forces back to Melromarc. If she can get there fast enough/get enough people to see her she can probably catch her own husband offguard and restore order. After all, she never put her husband in charge for 1. For two she wasn't even in the country when her husband decided "I'm gonna summon all four heros" and started this mess. If she treats it like a coup de taut she's undoing she can easily fix this.
