The Story of Hero Among Heroes ~The Founding Chronicles of Arestia - Chapter 163 – Pig King and Usurper King

Horus Kingdom

A country situated at the north of Istrea Kingdom, known as one of the many emerging Kingdoms in the east. It was established by King Maximillian Horus about three generations ago when he gathered migrants together and declared independence.

It’s said that the countries situated in the western part of the continent’s eastern region saw much less conflict than the eastern part. Therefore, not many of them put so much effort into their military power. But Horus kingdom was an exception. Probably due to the fact that the country was originally built by migrants, there’s a strong awareness to “protect the people”. The kingdom had been systematically arming itself since its founding.

The current King, Maximillian II, forged an alliance with the Istrea Kingdom. From a regular person’s perspective, the country had lowered itself to become Istrea Kingdom’s subordinate. But the King managed to gain a huge『profit』out of this agreement, bringing great progress to his country.

However, even that Horus kingdom… its fate is now uncertain.

The Horus Kingdom’s Royal Capital [Srahn]

The city that was known as the second richest city in the western part of the eastern region, only losing to Istrea’s capital, is now surrounded by innumerable magic beasts. It’s only a matter of time until it was overwhelmed.

It was only about a year ago since the magic beast army of Dormadia started invading the neighbouring countries. A year hadn’t fully passed when Dormadia managed to overrun Horus, leaving only the Royal Capital to occupy.

Initially, Horus kingdom’s army put up a fight. But they lost so much during the course of the war, that what’s left was only those stationed to defend the capital.

And the defending force was about to reach their limits sooner or later against the constant attacks from the magic beasts.

Humanoid monsters such as goblins and orcs made up the bulk of Dormadia’s main forces.

The superior subspecies would act as the commanders, with the demonkin ruling above them, and demon lords taking key positions.

And now, Dormadia generals were gathering to meet their sole ruler.

The king of Dormadia, whom they all recognize as their master… Dormaghest.

In front of the gathering the demonkin and the demon lords, an individual stood out at the back of the high level magic beasts.

His face was ugly, dark skinned and pig-like. His upper body was swelling with abnormally developed muscles.

Right, the pig-like countenance gave out the fact that this individual was a humanoid magic beast better known as orcs. However, unlike orcs in general, he has outstanding abilities.

He’s smart and capable of controlling an army. Not to mention that his personal valor and magic power could probably surpass that of a demonkin, no, perhaps even a demon lord.

Indeed, Dormaghest was an『Orc King』that had surpassed its own limitation, evolving into the so called『Orc Kaiser』that only appear once in several hundred years.

Dormaghest took advantage of his capabilities, taking control of a huge amount of magic beasts. Thus Dormadia’s main army was formed practically overnight.

Dormaghest himself was a rarity among his kind… he could understand the notion of creating a『country』, something that regular demonkins aren’t capable of.

By creating a country and becoming the king, he’ll be able to do as he wishes… Anything to satisfy his excessive gluttony, ambition and lust.

His abnormal desire was well documented from how he presented himself now. He had several naked women around his exposed crotch, urging one woman at a time to service his engorged member.

Each of these women were the Princesses or Aristocrats’ daughters of the country Dormadia had conquered.

None of the women had focused eyes; all of them serviced him with lewd smiles on their faces.

Any woman touched by his semen would go crazy, becoming a thirsty nymphomaniac.

Yes, this man named Dormaghest was pretty much the embodiment of『lust』.

[Let’s hear the report.]

Dormaghest said in a low growling voice.

The demonkin kneeled upon hearing his voice.

[Yes, Your Majesty! The wall of Horus Kingdom hadn’t been breached yet. But the eastern gate is already cracked. It’s only a matter of time until the palace is taken.]

Hearing that, Dormaghest went silent as if deep in thought. Then, at that moment:

guchuri

He ejaculated. The woman sprayed by his semen moaned loudly while showing an ecstatic expression. On the other hand, the retainers stayed silent.

This was already a mundane sight for them after all.

After a short pause, the woman started to bury their faces in Dormaghest’s crotch, resuming the service. At the same time, Dormaghest opened his mouth.

[Continue to siege Srahn. Gilbarus, I leave this matter to you.]

[Yes! Leave it to me!]

A man with a tiger head, Gilbarus, bowed.

[I myself will proceed to invade Istrea. As of now, the Horus army is just a nuisance. We need to return to our original goal: sacking Istrea.]

Dormaghest let out an ugly smile.

[Istrea doesn’t have a big army to defend themselves. But on the contrary, they are very rich. And also…]

Dormaghest took out the magic tool called『Phantom Mirror』and started thinking about the queen of Istrea.

An image of a beautiful woman known as the White Flower of the East was reflected on the mirror. She’s somewhat old, but that doesn’t reduce her sex appeal one bit.

I want to thoroughly fuck this clean and neat woman. He already had this thought from the moment he first saw her.

Dormaghest’s mind is occupied by this very thought since then.

The inexhaustible mass of libido that is Dormaghest.

[Prepare the magic beast army immediately. Soon, I’ll finally get the『toy』I’ve been wanting.]

Having said that, Dormaghest laughed in a low voice.

Toronto Principality, east of Istrea.

This country was said to be established about 70 years ago. It was believed that the one who declared independence for Toronto was the younger brother of Istrea’s King then.

Unlike Istrea, the land Toronto is in had no river and was not fertile or rich in resources.

Therefore, from when it was established, Toronto had made use of its link with Istrea to maintain its status as a country while heavily relying on vassal states for resources.

Toronto Principality’s real strength… lies in its military power.

In return for Istrea’s support, Toronto chose to become a dam that will protect Istrea should another country attack from the east.

It’s for that reason that the successive Kings focused on military reform the most.

Incorporating mercenaries into its army, focusing on new military technology and incorporating it into their armies over the years, Toronto had become a country with one of the most advanced military powers in the east.

However, even Toronto’s fate was unpredictable now.

The soldiers of Toronto Principality had repelled many invaders before. However, the crazed army of Byzerd was truly something else.

Especially… with the Usurper King Zackard leading the army personally.

All of Toronto’s renowned warlords were slaughtered like bugs by Zackard himself.

And the soldiers were trampled easily by the might of the Byzerdian berserkers.

The once mighty principality was razed to the ground. Corpses littered the ground everywhere. What’s left was only the westmost town… Shaw, which served as the border area between Istrea and Toronto…

=====

◆

The center of the Byzerd army. They were in the middle of discussing their next steps. King Zackard of Byzerd was staring at the map solemnly.

[….are you saying that the Dormadia fools are already on their way to attack Istrea?]

[Yes… apparently they split their forces in two, with one heading directly for Istrea…]

Upon hearing the report, Zackard instantly threw a nearby cup at the reporting soldier.

The cup hit the said soldier right in the forehead, which bleed profusely. But the man didn’t even flinch…

He knew for a fact. That if the king wished for it, he would’ve lost his life right there.

[…so, do you have any plans at all?]

Hearing that question, all the blue-uniformed officers’ faces turned blue.

How many times has it been already?

There is no use to answer this question. Zackard’s reaction always depended on his mood.

If he’s in a bad mood… heads would easily fly off.

And even if the plan went well, he might still punish his subordinates. So all in all, everything depended on his mood.

[Fuhn, useless pieces of shit…]

After spitting curses, he turned to the man standing behind him.

[What about you lot? Have any ideas?]

Seeing that Zackard had turned his attention to someone else, the officers sighed in relief. They then also turned their gaze to the man behind Zackard.

There stood a masked man in a black robe. The lad had been with Zackard from when he seized the throne.

Everyone present understood that this man was the brain behind all of Zackard’s actions, which means that he controls the kingdom from behind the scenes.

[Say something, Abdollah.]

[…let me ask Your Majesty… Which one is more prosperous, Istrea or Toronto?]

Zackard looked like he had eaten something gross after hearing that.

[Of course, that would be Istrea. Nothing of note here in Toronto.]

[Indeed. The land was infertile, and there’s nothing much to plunder… on the other hand, Istrea has fertile land and abundant amounts of food and other goods …Also… lots of beautiful women. Wasn’t Your Majesty also obsessed by the beauty of Istrea’s Queen?]

[………….]

Zackard didn’t say anything back, merely moving his chin slightly. A sign to continue talking.

[If Dormadia attacks as is, Istrea will fall into their hands in no time. The Queen will also fall into the hand of that pig… After all, that pig is known for its lustfulness…]

[Then… what should I do?]

Zackard asked frustratedly. Yes, like a child who lost their toy.

[Let’s attack Istrea too.]

The masked man paused to take a breath.

[I said this before… The first one to take over Istrea will win the entire eastern region. I have to remind Your Majesty that conquering the east is just the first step to your dream… that is to conquer the entire Arcadia continent, is it not?]

Zackard perked up to that last word. His eyes shining with madness.

[I’ll take two thirds of our army and attack Istrea immediately. Get ready!]

[P-please wait a minute!! What about Shaw…guhaaa!]

Zackard drew his sword and swung it at the general who stepped forth to stop him. The other generals chose to stay quiet after seeing that scene.

Zackard said to the beheaded corpse.

[Serves you right. You should’ve thought more carefully. I want Istrea now.]

The generals could only keep their complaints to themselves.

Their King was like a child. When he wants something, he can’t think about anything else.

Neither how to get it nor about the aftermath.

He moved only for solely following his desires, destroying everything on his path with overwhelming violence.

Isn’t he no different than the Tyrants and Demon Kings mentioned in legends of old?

The generals could only stand there, pale faced. Meanwhile Zackard had already marched out of the camp to prepare for his departure.

[I’ll take Istrea before Dormadia does. And then…]

Take the renowned White Flower of the East, Queen Irene and bed her; raping her to his heart’s content.

Zackard licked his lips at that thought, increasing the speed of his pace.
