Episode 165 – Barbarians Need a Bride ♥

The next morning, I and Sui solved Amania’s massively erect morning wood and went outside together for breakfast.

It seemed like it had only been sealed off for a day, so the breakfast was plentiful.

Tok tok tok

“Are you inside?”

After we finished our delicious breakfast and returned to our room, we heard a knock on the door and Claudia’s voice.

“Yes~ Come on in~”

I had enjoyed the previous night so much that the moon disappeared, so I spoke to Claudia in a gentle voice.

Then, the door opened and Claudia and Cecil entered. Claudia saw the radiant smile on my face and grinned slyly.

“Oh my♥ Oh my♥ Look at Grace-ssi and Sui-ssi’s glowing faces. Did you enjoy yourselves thoroughly last night?”

“Ahem, ahem, yes, a little…”

I, with a slight blush on my face, offered Claudia, who was grinning, a seat.

As soon as Claudia and Cecil sat in our empty seats, they got straight to the point.

“I’m glad you rested enough last night. Actually, an envoy from the barbarians came early this morning. They said they wouldn’t negotiate without Grace-ssi…”

“….. Huh? Shouldn’t you have come sooner if that’s the case?”

“Ah, don’t worry. They’re being entertained by our nuns and relaxing leisurely.”

“Ah…”

“Anyway, you can prepare slowly. We’ve sent the nuns to find out what those people’s purpose is.”

“Why on earth did those barbarians come all the way here?”

When I asked with a puzzled look, Claudia smiled awkwardly and said.

“Well… it’s a bit of an absurd reason…”

* * *

In the reception room deep within the cathedral, the barbarian representative and the High Priest sat facing each other across a long table.

Behind the High Priest were us, and behind the barbarian representative were barbarians with their dicks erect, grinning lewdly at me, Sui, Claudia, and Cecil, grabbing and shaking their dicks.

Claudia maintained her smile as if nothing was wrong, and Sui blushed deeply at their large dicks, feeling embarrassed.

Cecil, having worked for the Order for a long time, didn’t let their dicks distract her.

Me? I… the stench of unwashed barbarians filled the room, making my pussy throb from the start.

I didn’t know there were people who didn’t even bathe properly in an era with magic.

With red cheeks, I just glared at their dicks demurely.

They seemed amused by my and Sui’s reactions, grinning and jerking off blatantly.

Honestly, seeing men’s blatant desires like that didn’t make me feel unpleasant, but rather good.

Is it because I realize I’m a more valuable female as men get horny?

I like having sex, and now I even like the smell of men, so whatever…

While I was lost in these thoughts, their conversation had been going on for a while.

No, it was more of a one-sided demand than a conversation.

“If you don’t accept our conditions, we won’t leave! Don’t say the same thing! Over and over!”

“…. Haa… You know we can’t accept your demands. What are we supposed to do if you just keep insisting?”

“No, you can accept it! If you don’t accept it, your city will burn. And we’ll kill all the men and rape all the women.”

“……”

The High Priest, seeing the barbarian representative cross his arms and speak arrogantly, even erased the smile from his lips and glared at him coldly.

Instantly, a coldness filled the reception room, and a chilling aura made the hairs on my skin stand on end.

The representative also felt the High Priest’s murderous intent, looking at him with serious eyes and uncrossing his arms.

In this tense situation, the barbarians who had been playfully jerking off stopped and tensed their arms.

We were no different. Those without combat abilities stepped back slightly, while Ian, I, and Amania stepped forward slightly.

The tension between them was so tight it felt like it could break at any moment.

At that moment…

“Puhahahahaha!”

The representative, who had been glaring at the High Priest with fierce eyes, relaxed his expression and burst into hearty laughter.

“Good! I like your eyes. Hehehe… I received full authority from the Great Chieftain. Let’s start the discussion.”

“Hmm… Very well.”

Only then did the High Priest relax his expression, nodding with his usual gentle smile.

“However, there is one thing we absolutely cannot concede.”

“Please, speak.”

“The child must be given to us.”

“…. Haa, unfortunately, that’s not something we can decide. Why should we send our hero to the Great Chieftain in the first place?”

“This is not a negotiation. This is the final line. That woman must impregnate the Great Chieftain.”

His finger pointed at me.

When I frowned slightly at his gesture, the representative grinned and continued.

“This is something we absolutely cannot concede. Even if you pile up gold like a mountain, we won’t leave.”

“…. Then, there’s no choice. The negotiation is over….”

“Are you serious?”

“Would you like to confirm?”

“Hehehe… Alright, then the negotiation is over. I wonder how long you can hold out.”

The representative stood up as if he hadn’t expected anything in the first place, leading the barbarians out of the reception room.

The High Priest, slightly frowning at their unconcerned behavior as if he had a headache, soon relaxed his expression and stood up.

“Are you really going to be alright?”

When I looked at the High Priest and asked quietly, the High Priest smiled gently and replied to my question.

“Don’t worry, it’s not even an option to sell out someone who works hard for our city. Besides, our city is one of the holy sites, and even the Empire can’t neglect it. They must have heard the news from the frontier, so reinforcements will be coming soon.”

“…. Well, that’s a relief then.”

But why do I have a feeling that it won’t end so easily?

* * *

Immediately after the negotiation broke down, the barbarians’ attacks became more intense day by day.

It seemed that the one who attacked only one side on the first day was more of a scout, as barbarians with stronger bodies began to pour in.

I could easily wipe out the barbarians who seemed no problem even alone, but one hand couldn’t block multiple hands.

Dozens or hundreds of barbarians who quickly climbed onto the walls immediately slaughtered the soldiers, and it was impossible for me and my party to eliminate all the barbarians who came up.

Fortunately, the city’s soldiers managed to hold off the barbarians, though there were sacrifices, and the barbarians retreated without a word as soon as they heard the horn sounding across the fields.

“Heok.. Heok… Heok… Uweeaeaeek!!”

“Kkyaaaaaak!!! My arm!!! My arm is gone!!!”

“Priest! Priest! Here! Here, my friend isn’t moving!!”

Behind the barbarians who left leisurely, the screams of heavily injured soldiers, people vomiting, and people looking for priests filled the area.

The commander put his half-broken sword back into its scabbard, ordered the adjutant to clean up, and looked at the retreating barbarians with exhausted eyes.

“This is… going to be tough…”

I nonchalantly asked, wiping the sticky blood from my greatsword with a cloth, at the commander’s utterly despondent voice.

“From someone who served in the East, what level are these barbarians?”

“…. At first… I didn’t want to believe it. No matter how strong the barbarians are, it’s hard to get past the Empire’s fortress. I thought it was just a gathering of the barbarians who came up on the first day, but…! After seeing the guys who came up today, I realized for sure. This barbarian army is different.”

I, looking at the commander with calm eyes as he trembled and had fear-filled eyes, couldn’t understand.

From my point of view, there was no difference between the guys who came up last night and the guys who came up today.

They barely dodge and fall in two moves, or usually in one move…

“Are the guys who came up this time that great? They didn’t seem that different to me… Ah, they definitely have bigger dicks than yesterday’s guys.”

When I made a joke at the commander’s overly serious expression, the commander looked at me with a stiff face.

Oh, did I say something wrong again?

“It’s different. Of course, they might not be strong to Grace-nim, but… to deploy Great Warrior-class warriors as if they were waiting for it… is definitely not a normal situation.”

“Great Warrior?”

“Yes, when I served in the East… those Great Warriors led the warriors who attacked yesterday. But… seeing them consume Great Warriors like that now means there are already too many Great Warriors. Those bastards cherish the precious ones.”

“Heeeuuum… So, their scale and quality are different from before?”

“….. Yes… It’s hard to believe, but maybe the barbarians beyond the East have united….”

“They unified?”

“…… Great Chieftain… Why even here… Damn… I came here because I was sick of barbarians… Why… Why…!”

‘Ah, he’s having a mental breakdown.’

I watched the commander, who was muttering and tearing at his hair, for a moment before turning my head to look at the barbarians’ gathering place.

‘This… isn’t this a little dangerous?’

Should I run away?

Can I leave with Ian, Sui, Amania, Cecil, and Claudia right now?

‘Heeuuueeeuum…. Would it be difficult…?’

Leaving Claudia and Cecil aside, would those guys just let their target escape the city?

Judging by the running speed of the guys called Great Warriors just now, it seems difficult.

They were faster than an average horse running.

Even if I somehow run away, the others have to ride horses…

It’s not realistic.

The only result is that I can’t shake off the barbarians who seem to number in the tens of thousands, run at the same speed as horses, and have more stamina than average people.

‘Then… should I assassinate the Great Chieftain?’

Assassinating the Great Chieftain, who might be anywhere, through tens of thousands of barbarians with senses like wild animals… seems difficult.

First of all, even if I break through their defenses and go inside, I don’t know what the Great Chieftain looks like.

Secondly, I don’t know how skilled that Great Chieftain is.

Above all, it’s a problem even if I succeed.

How would the barbarians, who were controlled by the Great Chieftain as a focal point, change if the leader who suppressed them disappeared?

Even ordinary people scatter and become bandits when they lose their commander.

What if they’re people with wild instincts? An unimaginably terrible time might begin.

First of all, the wave of barbarians would pour into this city as it is.

It’s impossible to protect others and escape from a place full of chaos.

As my head becomes more complicated the more I think about it, I soon realized that there was one last option left.

‘Or… should I assume they’ll keep their promise and have the Great Chieftain’s child…’

The reason they invaded was a very absurd and simple reason.

They decided on this great invasion to welcome a strong mother who could accept the Great Chieftain as his wife.

Barbarians moving for the Great Chieftain’s marriage… It’s ridiculous.

It seems to me that it’s to safely eliminate me, who has been quite active…

At the same time, when I think from the barbarians’ perspective, I wonder if there’s a need to do that.

If they just push that army against the walls as it is, the city would be captured in an instant… Why would they do such a thing?

The conclusion is always the same.

The Great Chieftain is sincerely looking for his wife.

That’s clear just from the fact that they’re not continuing with a high-intensity offensive.

“Damn…”

I muttered, disliking the current situation where I had to entrust my life entirely, and eventually had no choice but to decide.

I really… really don’t like it, but I have no choice but to accept what those guys are offering.

Still, it’s a relief that those guys don’t seem to want to take me away by force?

A cool night air blew from across the plains, causing my hair to flutter.

My silver hair sparkled in the moonlight that had risen before I knew it.
