Chapter 28 Conquest of paradise 1.

On a sunny warm day, Marino stood on a pier of a small town. He watched happily as the small town and it's walls were bombarded into small broken piles of wood. Most joyfully he watched the hysterical natives getting shredded to bloody bits and pieces by the bouncing cannonballs.

Through the gate, he could see a cannonball bouncing on the stone street. It ripped through men and women with ease. Two small innocent children in their early years were holding hands as they ran away in fear, behind them came the bouncing cannonball. The boy was instantly ripped in half, leaving his friend shocked and confused not knowing what had just happened. The little girl stood alone still holding onto his friends torn hand as realization seemed to kick in and she then started to cry.

Seeing this destruction Marino frowned, at this rate he and his men would have nothing left to do and nobody to kill. Thinking of this he waved his hands to the ships making them stop the bombardment. Then he ordered his shield wall forward.

As they moved the remaining native soldiers composed themselves and formed a shield wall at the gates, as archers kept shooting down from the now-broken wooden palisade.

Then Marino saw Envy and her men running from the other pier towards them. When close to the palisade Envy nimbly jumped high up, using all the power that her small body could muster and grabbed a hold of the top part of the palisade wall. Marino looked in shock as she just jumped over one and a half meters high. Then with her slender arms, she pulled herself up onto the wall. From her front and back leather sheaths, she pulled out two sharp black knives. Before the archers on the small wall could realize it she sliced one of their throats. Hearing their friend die the native archers turned to engage the small dark-clothed assassin.

Seeing this Marino yelled. " Come on men! Let's kill these pretty natives! We can't let Envy have all the fun, now charge! "

Then the shield wall broke and the men charged forward. From all sides, the chosen attacked the natives holding the gate. Gluttony and Sloth easily smashed through the native men. Using their raw physical power they smashed and cut natives to bits and bloody pieces. Sloths massive sword cut through the natives shields and armor, causing them to instantly start to panic and run. Gluttony sent men flying and crushed all who stood in his way into meat paste as the chosen slaughtered the rest.

Walking past the dead and wounded natives Marino smiled and crouched down to look at them. He could see 6 natives groaning in pain as they bled to death from sword wounds. With a smile on his face, he wrapped his hands around one of their necks and pressed hard. But instead of choking the man to death Marino used his unnatural strength to dig his fingers into the native mans soft neck flesh. The pretty native man screamed in pain as blood started to spurt out of his mouth. Marino smiled even more seeing this and then he ripped his throat out with force. Marino watched as the man struggled for a while before he went completely limp and died. Not satisfied he decided to end two more natives before ordering his men to do the rest. Marino watched his men with pride as they slaughtered the natives.

Up on the small wall, Envy slaughtered the archers mercilessly. While the archers had their own blades and daggers and were nimble themselves they stood no chance against the unnaturally fast Envy.

The Archer's only had silver headbands around their heads and wore almost no armor just some fine white and blue cloth clothing. The Natives clearly preferred mobility over protection. But their mobility could not match Envys inhumane speed.

So one after another their pretty heads were cut off and sent tumbling to the ground. Until Envy saw one with a golden headband, she wore a pretty white dress with a skirt and a blue belt, with arrows attached to it. She was a beautiful blonde tall and curvy woman.

Seeing this Envy got jealous and charged past two archers straight towards her. Dodging a dagger and a sword strike, she leaped straight towards her. Quickly the curvy woman jumped backwards as she released an arrow in mid-air.

The arrow pierced Envys unarmoured shoulder, causing her to drop one knife. Then with a painful sideways roll, she landed on her stomach in front of the curvy woman.

The curvy woman tossed her bow aside, took out a short sword from her hip and without hesitation stabbed Envy in the back, just as she was about to get up. With ease, the sword pierced her small body and she went limp. Putting her hand on the small barbarian she could not feel any heartbeat.

Seeing no movement from the black barbarian, she pulled her sword out of her as the other archers turned back to shoot at the other invaders. One by one they sniped the attacking barbarians as they slaughtered the natives down below the walls. Then the curvy woman turned around to pick up her bow from the ground. Suddenly she froze and felt a sharp pain, " KyyyyaaAhhhhhh!!! " She yelled. She felt something pierce her lower private parts, causing extreme pain that made her shriek in agony. " KyyyyaaAhhhhhh!!! " She yelled.

She dropped her sword and her legs went numb. Looking down she saw the barbarian slide between her legs and turn around with a bloody knife in hand.

Quickly before she could react, Envy stabbed her knife into the screaming woman's left breast and pulled it down to the heart, cutting her breasts in two. The woman's body went limp as life faded from her beautiful blue eyes, and she fell limply to the ground. With arrogance, Envy looked at the corpse and huffed saying. " Whos the prettiest girl now you whore. "

Then she turned to see the other two archers on her right pointing their bows at her and one on the left.

With great speed she dived to the corpse and pulled it close to her, using it as a shield she blocked the arrows. Two arrows struck the corpse in the chest and one hit Envy in the right rib.

In pain, envy turned to see the one lone archer that hit her. The Archer was a young-looking man with a fearful expression, just like she liked her men. Quickly she poured some kind of black energy from her hands into the corpse and with the help of the force sent it flying, towards the two Archer's. As She got up she yelled. " Corpse explosion! "

As the body hit the first archer it exploded, like a grenade and sent hundreds of bone shards flying, killing both the pretty natives instantly. Turning around she saw the other archer trying to load another arrow with shaky hands. His terror made Envy happy, the more adrenaline there was in the body the sweeter it would taste. With a smile on her face, she tackled the man to the ground.

Quickly she cut his wrists open and with force dragged him off the small wall into the shade below. There the man screamed in terror and pain, as Envy took off her helmet and sucked the man bone dry with her fangs. As blood was sucked into her, the wounds on her body started to disappear and her eyes shined brighter than ever before.

***

Meanwhile more and more rowboats landed and the Chosen stormed the town. They slaughtered everybody who resisted and tied up those who didn't. They went from house to house grabbing people and looting anything of worth. Some tried to resist but were quickly ganged on and taken down.

Marino just walked down the main street in his underwear watching all this unfold happily. Sloth and Gluttony walked beside him looking out for any threats. He watched as his men dragged women by the hair, kicking and screaming out there homes. The children cried for their dead parents and were also dragged out with force, towards the ship's.

Walking down the street towards the Temple. Marino admiringly watched the smooth white stone buildings and the smooth white stone street, he had to admit that he liked the white and blue color scheme. It brought great memories to him from his past. He could still remember the game he played in the past. There he liked to play on the blue factions side and yell the words, for the alliance, as they were called. Maybe he could form his own faction in this world also, an alliance of many races.

As he admired the scene he saw a group of dead natives that looked like a family of three. Laying there on the ground, their hair no longer covered their faces and he finally saw it. Just like their houses and helmets, their ears were also pointy. Then he gasped in shock and said to nobody in particular. " They are all Elves? Of my god. Did I just kill people that are thousands of years old? Did I just erase thousands of years of history? All that history lost. "

Thinking of this Marino felt a pain in his heart. To him history was important. He didn't want to do what the Spanish had done in the past and erase everything. Only a little.

Then Gluttony spoke. " Boss. What is an Elf? Is it tasty? "

Looking at Gluttony Marino spoke as he gestured for him to look at the dead family. " Look at their Ears. They are Elves. They are a race that can live for thousands of years or more, and these people are probably thousands of years old and that makes them extremely valuable. So they should not be eaten. "

" But boss, they don't look that old. My mother was 30 when she died and had many wrinkles and scars. These people look fresh, they have no wrinkles or scars. " Gluttony said while scratching his armored belly.

Crouching down next to them, he could see that they indeed looked extremely young. There were hardly any calluses on their hands and no scars. The man and woman looked like a couple in their early twenties and their son looked to be 12 years old. Thinking on this matter he could remember that in his past life, some Fantasy elves were not tall and didn't live for long. Though some were said to be extremely tall and able to live for an eternity, which one was it here, he wondered.

Well by the look of things, it looks like they weren't all that skilled and they dont look that old, so maybe they were just a bunch of pointy-eared people. Thinking of this Marino didn't anymore feel so bad, but he definitely would need to keep a few of them and learn all they knew, just in case.

Now with his thoughts cleared he stood up and said. " You know Gluttony, I think you are right. So if you want to eat a few, then you can. But only after the battle and if they are dead or useless to us. You understand? "

From under Gluttonys helmet came a simple deep-toned answer. " Yes, Boss. "

Sloth just lazily followed Marino as they continued onwards. As they turned a corner they could finally see it. There was a small straight road that went for a little bit until it branched out. Straight ahead was the Temple and on the right was the small mansion.

On the street leading to the crossroad, a fierce battle was being fought. What looked like a group of 5 adventurers and 4 guards were fighting a group of 10 Chosen cultists.

Seeing the fight Marino was intrigued. There were 2 young-looking swordsmen with Shields and swords, fighting alongside the guards. And one that stood behind the shields wielding a two-handed sword, when given an opening he would lunge forward and strike at the Chosen. Behind them were 2 women, an archer and what looked like a mage, from the looks of her staff. The archer shot Marino's men between the armor gaps with great accuracy, she wounded men and she even got one headshot. The arrow went straight through the small T-shaped visor gap. " Ooooo! Daiam that Sting's. " Marino said as he watched his follower fall dead onto the ground.

Enraged by the death of their friend the cultists fought back with great fury. They managed to slide their swords past the shields and into the El's flesh. In pain, the wounded elves grunted, but quickly their expression turned back to normal as if nothing had happened. Seeing this Marino turned to look at the elf mage. He saw the elf mage chant something with closed eyes while holding her staff. From her hands a faint glow of light flew towards the men, closing their wounds.

Seeing magic being cast by the elf he was a bit surprised. This was not the first time that he had seen magic, for he had seen Envy and Pride using their dark magic before. But this was the first time he had seen light healing magic and it intrigued him a lot. " Wow, they actually got Elf healers here. That feels like cheating but it is extremely interesting. Could be useful. " Marino thought to himself.

To him this was a great opportunity, if he could get her on his side then his forces would grow stronger. Maybe through her, he could even make more powerful healers or powerful mages. Then he could see a few more of his men fall to blades and arrows. Not liking this unfair fight Marino commanded Sloth and Gluttony to help as he sneaked around. From all his MMO gaming experience, he knew that you needed to take out the healer first.

***

Fighting on the front line the elven shieldman bashed a barbarian with his shield, staggering him and with a quick stab he ended his life. As he pulled his sword out of the barbarian body letting him fall on the hard ground. Then he could see a giant barbarian wielding a hammer coming straight for him.

Seeing this he raised his kite shield and yelled something. " Aija shot dat jayant barbarian! " 

As the hammer came down towards him he sidestepped dodging the powerful strike. With a boom the stone street was cracked and stone debris flew, causing a, " Clank clank. " sound as it hit his metallic shield. 

Then with wide eyes and sweat running down his face, he watched the giant barbarian, as it was hit by an arrow. With a cling, the arrow bounced off the barbarians helmet. Quickly recovering from the shock he stabbed at the barbarians arm. His sword nimbly moved between the man's elbow armor and hand armor, digging into the chainmail below. The blade only managed to slightly grace the skin under, surprising the elf.

Seeing his attack fail and feeling the blade cut his arm Gluttony was enraged. With his stabbed arm he sent a powerful backhand strike towards the pretty man.

But the nimble man dodged this, which enraged him even more. With his right foot, he kicked his hammer that was stuck on the ground and sent it's hard end flying towards the pretty man.

Seeing the hammer coming too late the elven tank was unable to dodge. So he raised his shield and took the heavy flying hammer straight on.

With a loud bang it hit, causing the shield to cave in a little and send the pretty man tumbling to the ground. With his sword arm, he quickly pushed himself up. Seeing the Barbarian lift his hammer and start to come at him again, he tried to raise his shield but realized that his arm was completely numb and unresponsive.

Looking for somebody to help him. He saw 2 guards being sliced in half by another giant man, as his 2 friends fought off the smaller barbarians. Then he felt his shield hand start to heal once again. Luckily he still had healing and ranged support. Then with his hand partially healed he engaged the big barbarian once again.

Sloth watched as the two pretty men killed his allies, and then they faced him. The small pretty man with his shield faced him in the front as the other held a big sword in the back. Not wanting to waste his time too much he decided to cleave them both in half with one strike.

Pulling his arms back into a baseball swing stance, he watched as the pretty men got in range. Then he leaped forward and sent a powerful sideways swing towards the men. Foolishly the shield man tried to block the attack and was sent flying, somewhere to the left, as the other man jumped backward dodging the attack.

Looking to his left Sloth was annoyed to see that the man was not cut in half. His arm was crushed and bent at an unnatural angle and his shield was bent, but he was still alive. Then he could see the pretty woman send some kind of light towards the man which slowly healed him. Annoyed to see his progress in killing these men being undone, Sloth started to walk toward the pretty woman. But then he felt a hard strike against his armor, causing him to feel pain as the armor failed to protect him from the impact force. He could see the pretty man with the big sword hitting his armor like a crazy man. Annoyed he swung his sword but the man just dodged.

Enraged by this he kept swinging but the man kept dodging and sending his own blows against his armor. Then the shield man joined in again, with his bent shield. Now facing the two dodging pretty men, he was pissed.

In anger, he roared and unleashed his master's technique, that he had taught him. The ground shook and everything in a 3-meter area was frozen in place, as if time had stopped. The elves tried to move but their bodies could barely move an inch, it was as if they were surrounded by some thick substance that pressed against their bodies hard.

Seeing this Sloth said lazyli. " Now you die! " He brought his sword up, intending to slice the big sword elf in half. Then all of a sudden a net made of white light engulfed him, pinning him in place. Sloth was surprised not understanding what was happening. With his inhumane strength, he pushed against the net, but it didn't budge.

Standing on a roof behind the elves Marnino watched this scene impressed. The Elf mage had her eyes closed as she gritted her teeth and sweat poured down her face. Clearly, she was struggling to hold her netting spell on Sloth. Gluttony on the other hand had a few arrows sticking from his armor gaps as he tried to hit the nimble elf. And the 2 guards were surrounded by 3 chosen warriors the others had died.

After having seen everything he wanted to see Marnino jumped off the roof like a nimble cat and with a roll landed quietly behind the elves. Not wanting to repeat what he had done as a child on the Lopes farm, he had trained intensely in the art of stealth. He had self-taught himself some basic parkour skills and trained his stealth skills with the angry ram. He would often see the ram eating grass or mating with his sheep girls and then he would use that opportunity to sneak behind him and choke him out. 

With swift movements, he moved behind the elven mage, without her noticing him. Standing behind the head shorter woman, he looked down on her with a grin taking a peak at her modest cleavage from his higher angle.

Then he wrapped his right arm around her delicate neck and squeezed it between his bicep and forearm. Then simultaneously he pressed her body against his chest and lifted her up into the air so that her feet left the ground. Then he slipped his left hand inside her cleavage and cupped her right breast, massaging it and getting a good feel of its softness. As she gagged and choked Marino started to compare the breasts in his mind to Lara's breasts. He had to admit that they were even larger and softer than Lara's, even after she got pregnant.

With an evil smile, he held the now choking woman in the air as he fondled her breasts. Noticing this the Archer turned her bow at Marino and yelled something threatening at him, with her squeaky voice. " Mek i go yu vile beast ɔ a go put aro na yu ed! " To Marino, it sounded more like she was pleading than threatening thou.

Then at the same time, the magical net vanished, and Sloth brought his sword down on the now-moving two-handed sword man.

Surprised by the sudden movement the swordsman moved his weapon to block the overhead strike. With a hard, " Ping. " sound the swords struck each other. Sloths sword cracked the smaller sword and sent both swords crashing down on the elf. Sloths sword cut into his right shoulder almost severing it in half, while the man's sword cut into his lower neck. Blood sprayed out the massive wound as the sword stopped and embedded itself in the man's silver breastplate.

Pulling out his sword Sloth saw the man trying to scream but only blood flew out of his mouth. From the left came an angry and despair scream of the other elf. " Brɔda nɔ! A go mek yu pe! "

Seeing this the Elven mage's eyes formed tiers as she tried to struggle against Marino's strong arm. Then Marino heard a choked pleading voice come from her. " Wi kin giv-ɔp. duya. mek a sev am. A go du ɛnitin. "

Hearing this Marino looked at the panicked Elf archer and then, all of a sudden she bit her lip and tossed her bow aside. Seeing this Marino Commanded. " Stand down! This fight is over! "

Instantly Sloth and Envy disengaged from the elf warrior as did the chosen. Seeing this the Elves turned to look at Marino in suprise. The one who was fighting Sloth yelled something in desperation. " Nɔ, wi nɔ go ebul fɔ giv ɔp naw! "

Throwing his weapon to the ground the one that had fought Gluttony spoke with his head down. " I dɔn dɔn. wi bin lɔs. Wi nɔ go ebul fɔ lɔs Duria ɛn wi nɔ go ebul fɔ win if i nɔ de bak. "

Then with gritted teeth, the Elves dropped their weapons. Seeing this Marino grinned as he fondled the elf mage and spoke to the 3 chosen warriors. " Tie all of these Elves up and take them to my ship. Sloth help them and Gluttony you are coming with me. " Then he gave the ekf mage a slap on her butt and let her go.

Marino watched curiously as she immediately grabbed her staff from the ground and started to chant a spell. Then the golden healing light flew into the almost dead two-handed sword user. Even being as damaged as he was, the light slowly started to heal him. Quickly the other elf went to pull out the sword stuck in his friend. As he pulled the sword out the elf's blood sprayed out and the wounded man's body spasmed and life faded from her eyes. Then with a thud, he dropped lifeless to the ground as blood flowed from his mouth.

Not giving up the elf mage used more of her magic. Sweat ran down her face as she looked like she was about to faint. The wounds had closed but the man had already lost too much blood and died there on the spot. Most likely his body was filled with blood causing lots of blood clots to form and causing his death in the end. Looking at this Marino figured that most likely the magic was unable to restore blood cells and simply just closed wounds. Then he spoke once again. " ohh and take her staff to my quarters. "

With that done Gluttony and Marino continued forward towards the Temple, leaving the defeated crying Elves behind. The sacking of the mansion would have to be left for a later date.
