"I'm here to kill a bitch named Alexia. I believe that you might be her but I doubt she is so powerful as to kill all of my guards in less than ten seconds." Mr. Spear Guy smiled an eerie smile and made a step closer. "Little girly, I think that it might be best that you tell me the location of Alexia and leave. I wouldn't want such a talented human to die early. I'd really like to fight you when you get stronger."
This guy is emanating pressure like no other. I doubt that even my elite squad could kill him without casualties. "You filthy whore! Who do you think you are talking to! I'm Alexia and I can guarantee that you are below in power!"
"Ha? YOU DARE BELITTLE ME? I AM A GOD COMPARED TO YOU! I AM INVINCIBLE!" Oh, it appears that he a bit of a temper. Maybe I can make him too headstrong and get an easy sneak attack in. I'd rather avoid fighting face to face due to all of my hidden cards being my biggest secrets. Letting them out now would be cancer.
"Fuck yeah! Your mom was a slut who slept with beggars and slaves! You are a bastard child of a slave and a whore!" As soon as my words left my mouth he had already lunged ferociously at me. His spear was going much faster than anticipated and I was only able to prepare my attack to kill him and dodge the fatal jab from the sharp point.
My psionics blasted out and grabbed four daggers from each of the dead or dying assassins and forced them at Spear guy. At the same time, my body was defying many biological boundaries and was twisting my body and lowering my torso, barely escaping from the fatal blow.
At the same exact time as the four blades sunk into this mans stomach and upper torso was his spear making a drastic turn downwards and slicing open my left midriff.
My attack was fatal while his thrust wasn't quite life ending. That is why you never bring out the invincibility card. It simply ensures your death if you talk about how impossible it is to kill you.
*Ugghh* I grab his limp corpse to stop it from landing on top of me and toss it backward landing on Dead Guy #4 and reach my hand down to assess the damage.
I feel a squishy tub hanging out and I start feeling around it for any cuts of if any is severed. After all, if it leaks acid into my body I doubt that my body could survive that. After finding to cuts I limp over to my mother's room and enter to find it clean and orderly with my mother's designated guard standing in the middle blocking any window and door from direct access to my mother.
I made a 'Come here' gesture and whispered for her to get a sewing kit from my room with the utmost haste. I then tried to stem the flow of blood with a spare blanket while invigorating my cells with Qi. I could instantly feel my blood loss slowing.
I glanced over to my mother's window and saw a massive smokestack rising over the top of the city. Taking a second look at my clothes I noticed a distinct color that should not be there, a sort of golden ichor. The Golden Horde!

PoV: Melody
I felt the Aura of distress coming from our Queen and instantly shot up knocking over the person next to me.
Guang then said, "What's the matter? If you're up why don't we have more fun." After making that comment she grabbed my hand and tried to pull me back flashing me a seductive look.
"The Capital is under attack. Unless you want my master to end up lying under smoking ashes and die. I'd suggest we NOT have any more touchy-feely moments as of now."
"The Capital is under attack?" With the sudden info dumped of her unprepared Guang gasped.
"We are going to be sending a thousand troops there. You can join us should you wish." The words of Melody quickly changed the mood from a depressing helpless one to an angry and hopeful aura.
"Let's go!"
"We have 200 boats but we are only sending out a thousand so we'll only need 167. You go prepare your weapons. We leave in five minutes."
In five short minutes, the small army was on their way speeding across the water towards their queen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Capital, the seven most prominent branch families were in a state of panic due to an unforeseen consequence of letting in a small hit squad of the Golden Horde. This unforeseen action was the fact that they had an armada in wait for the go ahead. This army was enough to conquer any fort without many defenders but to send this number to attack the capital was suicide. With the panic in the seven branch clans, they hadn't even had been able to make a stable line of defense and they almost completely let themselves get rolled over. With the defending armies in a constant state of retreat, the civilian population was nearly undefended and was getting purged at a tremendous rate. Within an hour of the invasion half of the population was either killed or captured by the blundering armada.
The Branch families had actually fled the Capital leaving with their armies and attempting to escape the battle. Without any soldiers, the battle became a massacre and any bastion of hope was quickly rolled over. Even the old veterans had come out to assist in the evacuation and battle the attackers. However, as the final line was in the midst of falling a flaming horizon appeared over the Armada.
There was a large flame rising from the flagship of the fleet and there were smaller flames spouting up along the rest of the ships as well. With the sight being visible from around the city the defenders suddenly had a burst of moral and charged the currently panicking horde.
The horde quickly killed any of these suicidal soldiers and started a run back towards their ships.
The fires were started by the many hundreds of soldiers Alexia had raised who's ages ranged in large variety as well as their prowess. There was only one way to describe their coordination though, perfection. With the psionic waves from Alexia taking their toll they had an unconscious connection to each other and could help each other out when they were in trouble.
The flames, however, were simply fake. A tactic to have the attacking armies retreat towards them to kill them easier.
The attacking army was around 250,000 strong when they arrived and had around 210,000 as they were retreating meaning their numbers were 210 to 1. The odds were not in the attacker's favor. The Female corps had already cleared out any member of the Golden Horde within a half a mile and had freed any enslaved people they came across leading them to the ships hiding them aboard, which made the survivors slightly uncomfortable considering that they were sitting inside of a ship to take them back to another country and enslave them.
The Female corps was separated into multiple groups of fifty and split up to attack the invaders coming back. Melody and Guang chose to head straight in the direction of the largest group of attackers and set up an ambush for them in a marketplace. As the soldiers jogged through multiple wagons blocked their route which stopped the march. Soon the marketplace had 12,500 people in it waiting on the people in front to start going. Then out of nowhere a sudden flame burst from the ground igniting the dozens of gallons of oil on the ground causing panic to insue and many deaths from trampling and burning alive. While the fire was still raging the girls released their arrows into the densely packed crowds inflicting heavy casualties and chaos to break out of the scared group. As the people still waiting on the roads couldn't tell what was happening they were completely helpless as three cultivating monsters appeared behind them and started tearing the army to pieces.
Melody, a secret guard, and Guang Kaiyo started tearing into the back of the waiting group killing a dozen each second, going swiftly enough that people were getting killed before they could warn the people in front of them and the wounds were always related to the head and throat.
As they tore into the rear the archers ran out of ammo in the front inflicting casualties in the extreme amounts considering the fact that the bows could pierce through an uncultivated body nearly unhindered and only those who had entered the Gem stages would stop the arrow from heading into the men behind. The group was quickly losing numbers and as the Female Corps began capturing slaves they began the extermination of all Horde members unwilling to submit.
Once again not very large (Not considering the ero bits) but as long as I can make a habit of posting/writing I can get better at it and move into more frequent releases.
