They did what was expected of them. The Nation of Beta used the tips of their border with us to take a decent chunk. They do have 80 people they can mobilize. While we only have 55 people to mobilize. They have mainly spears as their weapon. We have some sword users. Mainly bowmen. That being said we do have some spear users as well.

We also have a few snipers. Bow snipers are good at hiding and shooting an arrow effectively at long distances. Which is good in the woods but we are fighting on open land. Farmland that was being used to grow crops. What pains me so much is that only two farmers could escape.

A few of them died because the Nation of Beta has an ethnic cleansing National Ideal. This means that as long as you are not aligned with the Nation of Beta. You will be snuffed out. Baby, old, or an essential worker. We are fighting Exiono and his son. His name is the same so he is a Junior.

If we kill them their forces may give up. I am hoping they do. I am preparing for a fight with fire using fire. If they refuse to give up, well they will have to die. While I was riding a horse to the frontline. An elf scout went on the wagon my soldiers were riding on. When he landed the wagon shook for a second which startled the people on board. He delivered a message behind my back so I could focus on driving.

“The elf snipers did the hit-and-run tactic you suggested. Five of our snipers were able to kill one low-rank soldier. Enna missed snuffing out Junior's life. Thankfully he was hit on his right hand. Making him unable to wield his spear effectively. Enna is safe. I must leave now thank you.” One of Enna’s bridesmaids who is an effective scout left after delivering a message.

Out of potentially 80 people we only killed 5. My wife Enna also technically killed one person. She injured what I assume is the Vice Commander. Exiono Jr has to be a leader in a high position. With Exiono having to lead all his troops without help. He will have trouble with fighting.

I hate that my wife has to fight, but I am glad she is alright. Ugh, We aren’t more than 2 minutes from the farm field. I have something trusty with me. Knowledge of a previous world. With the fields being harvested. Alcohol from my homemade Molotov will not burn crops.

This is something that was supposed to be used later in hour history but I have to kill a potential armored unit. I just hope I can hit that bastard Exiono. We arrived at the field and I could see at least fifty people. I stopped the horses and the soldiers came out. Our forces are not more than 70 feet from each other. The enemy decided to charge at me.

Idiots all of them. 20 out of the 45 soldiers with me are bow elves. So they started to fire at will and I saw them dropping like flies. I saw at least 10 people drop. They kept on charging but my spear men 10 of them stood in front of me. I took this time to grab the two flints in my bag. While putting the Molotov from my hand onto the ground.

I banged the flints together and the oiled rag caught on fire. I then grabbed it and threw it underhanded in front of me. It passed by a spearman because he dodged the bottle. What I heard and saw was the bottle breaking on a slightly armored person and the fire spread.

I could hear the blood-curdling screams from the man being burned. This stopped the charge because they got scared. Magic is something that is in this world. A nation having one is a good thing. They are useful for exterminating monsters. They are rarely used for slaying humans. For all they know I just cast a spell on someone.

Sadly someone tried to help him take his clothes off. Good man, but he started to burn as well. We had a few soldiers who threw down their arms asking to be spared. I will of course since I am worried about future generations. However, did they think I would let them run?

The snipers arrived and did their best to kill as many runners. They could only get 8 fleeing soldiers. With the amount of prisoners we took and the amount killed. It totaled about 43 soldiers. 35 killed and 8 prisoners. Including the 5 we previously killed and the 1 injury. Their new fighting force is around 40 if they use everyone they have as a soldier.

I had 0 deaths but one injury. It was a minor injury but he was told to rest. I am blessed to have zero deaths. Sadly we need to wait before we can go to the Beta capital. Our horses are dying because we ran them all the way here. I will set off in an hour.

Nearing the end of the time before we left. Enna appeared from the enemy side to deliver news. The soldiers that ran shook in their boots. They are going to be too scared to fight. Their border is also not guarded.

Enna came over with a smile. She was smiling so brightly that I almost had to cover my face in embarrassment. I just stuck to my guns and smiled back. I was the first to speak.

“I am glad to see that you are a working girl. You did a good job so far.” I said trying to match her smile. She started to giggle a little bit and put her hand over her mouth. “Sorry for laughing. You are so silly today. I am the one who should say a good job.” Enna said.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

I told Enna some information that was found out by one of the prisoners. After our love talk ended we stopped being awkward. I told her that there were 75 soldiers including the commander and vice commander.

They really wanted to make sure we were gone. The only population that wasn’t forced to serve were the women. I also said that even if we did capitulate Beta. We would have to deal with a goblin infestation. So even when we win. We still have work to do. She giggled again after I was finished talking. Was it something I said?

“There is no rest for the wicked. So of course we will have more work to do. Did you think getting more land would be an easy thing to deal with?” She said looking at me in the eyes.

“Ugh, whatever I thought I just need to focus on the present. Let’s kill that family already” I said blushing.

Enna made a noise I could never replicate. As there was a monster in her eyes even when she spoke. “How hot! I like a man that can get things done.” She said while a cold shiver down my spine. My wife is scaring me a bit.

When we were ready. The whole group ran to the border of Beta. We crossed a path and headed straight for the capital of Beta. We can see it now, a lot of soldiers walking around with weapons. Their security is tight at least. They have prepared defenses, but that won’t matter much. Enna who was behind me riding the carriage got on my horse.

The horse was unphased and kept on running. I was phased a little bit since some skin squished on my back. I just kept on focusing on not crashing. Enna grabbed her bow and used it to snipe some people who held their spears out in front of the gate.

1 down, 2 down, 3 down, and a 4th one. My wife did not miss one shot at all. With 4 gone the new total of soldiers to defeat was 23. Well, that is really good now. I stopped the horse-drawn carriage and the soldiers got out. The snipers tried their best to get the ones holding the spears.

Those brutal bastards are using their dead friends as shields. I guess it is time to get physical. I grabbed my sword and me and the knights ran forward. The spear men ran and pointed the spear at us. Running behind us was the spearmen on our side. Before we got too close to the pointy spears we split into 2 groups of five.

This surprised the spear men but they kept on going. While both spearmen soldiers clashed, I and the knights hacked away at their backs. It took 10 minutes of combat but we were able to kill all the men. There were only 16 soldiers here including the ones my wife snipped.

Six soldiers must be protecting the commander. Speaking of him. After a five-minute break, it is time to meet him. The man named Exiono. A man who dared to wage war on me. All because I married a damned elf. Some people really are crazy when it comes to their lines of reasoning,

Enna gave me a quick pep talk. “We are almost done Yama! With one more push, the racist will be eliminated.”

I wish he just gave up. I wish he would tell me why he hates elves so much. He could be used for a case study. Why did they become what they are? Or is that a pitiful response? They did plan on whipping out the innocent. They even killed a couple of my farmers.

I am not like him though. I need the people that didn’t fight in this war to live. Breed with my nation's people and make a better genetic pool for the future. I need to avoid inbreeding as much as possible.

I looked at Enna and she shook her head. It is time to storm the mansion. Before that I was given a head count real quickly. 2 deaths and 3 injuries. 1 spearman and 1 elf bow user died. I am not sure how a bow user died since they were far away from the front lines. Must have been a stroke of fate or something. The injuries were the spearmen that were helping me fight those enemy spearmen.

As I looked at the note we moved forward into the guy's mansion. He sat there in a chair waiting to hear any news. When he saw me I could see him relaxing his shoulders. Not in arrogance, but in acceptance of his defeat.

“Those men guarding the women on the second floor will fight to the death. Unless you show my head. So take it. I know I am your enemy, but don’t kill the women and children.” Exiono said while prostating his head so it could be cut more easily.

“Unlike you, I don’t kill the innocent or essential workers. You killed my farmers. You are lucky I will allow your lineage to live on. I will spare one son. I was told by a Prisoner of mine. That you have a lot of children.” I said with an angry look.

“My Jr of mine fled the country. One should be on his way with a note. Mundane will surrender himself. Don’t be too hard on him, he is weak and frail.” Exiono said coldly.

“You are making a lot of demands for an old man. I pity you though. You could have lived if you weren’t a dumbass. Your death will be swift. You will die instantly.” I told him with my angry expression worsening. That man makes me sick. I would rather him die instantly than allow him to have another breath of life.

“Enna, shoot his brain. Make sure you use your full force. Kill this man instantly. I will cut his head once he is dead.” I asked rudely trying to change my tone of voice. I couldn’t help but sound demanding since I was angry.

“Ok, Yama. I would rather him suffer but this will be more fitting for the history books.” Enna said drawing her bow back far. She let go of the drawn arrow and the arrow flew straight into his head. Passing through his skull. Is death was immediate.

“Now then, sorry sword, but you have to cut a dead body,” I said looking at my sword's handle.

“I think the sword might be more mad if it had to cut a man that was defenseless,” Enna said trying to cheer me up in a way. I grabbed his head and took it with me. It was bleeding profusely so I held the head in front of me.

Just as he said the soldiers committed suicide and that horrified the women balled up in blankets. I was going to let them know I meant no harm. Enna got in front of me and talked to the scared girls. I did carry the head of the ruler in front of them. Enna is also a girl, well woman so she has a better ability to be passionate.

It is getting late. I am going to hate the ride home. Actually, we need to stay here. I will manifest a person who can run this area. I will also have to leave some soldiers here to maintain the border. I bet Enna wants to relax too. I hope they spent good money on their bed. Let’s hope it is big as well.

Or it could be small. I found out that not only do kinks crossover. Some of my favorite hobbies crossed over. I like to cuddle in a bed with a girl.
