Isekai

Alarums & Excursions

Armed with nothing but a sword, the girl points her weapon at the soldiers before her who wielded weapons of varying sizes ranging from daggers to pole arms.

"Where are they? Who are you? What did you do to them?"

The girl frantically asked as she tightly gripped the sword's handle.

"Surround her!" Their commander ordered. "Don't let her escape!"

Afraid of being captured, the distraught damsel violently swung her sword willy-nilly hoping that it might give her an opening to run away. She managed to hit one of them and knocked him back, but was disarmed by the others and was easily taken down.

"Tie her up," said the commander; "let's wait for Lord Amalilio to give further orders."

"The lord is taking his time thought," said one of the soldiers; "this might take awhile."

"Ugh, this'll take forever." Another soldier whined.

"Alright then, why don't you go inform Lord Amalilio of this to hasten the affair."

"Just because the lord assigned you as temporary commander doesn't mean you can boss us around a lot."

"Your complaining is an ear sore. If you have nothing better to do then go inform Lord Amalilio of this, understood?."

"Understood... you stick in the mud." The soldier muttered as he went to the front gates.

"In the meantime," said another one of the soldiers; "I'm gonna take a quick nap."

"Yeah, me too."

"Me three, we barely got enough sleep last night."

"Same here."

"Alright then," the commander caved-in; "for those who are tired go get some sleep, the rest will stay on guard."

"Finally, I can get some sleep."

"It might be hard if the girl keeps on talking like that."

Now only a few soldiers remain awake with, one of them was the one who got knocked down by the girl's sword.

"Hey!" The girl, despite being all tied up, continued to pester them. "I'm not done asking questions! Who are you people?! Why are you doing this?! Let me go!"

"She's a rowdy one." Said the soldier that got hit by the sword. "Maybe she'll pipe down if we'll have a little fun with her."

"Oy," the commander interjected; "are you suggesting that we-"

"We're just soldiers not knights, we didn't take a vow of chivalry nor were we trained to act like one. Besides, there's only us here, nobody will know, it'll be our little secret as comrades."

"But even so... there'll be-"

"It'll be fine," he said as he ogled at the girl; "now then everyone let's have some fun."

When their eyes met, the girl quieted down, seeing the soldier's libido in his gaze. His intentions were written all over his face.

Slowly, the soldier approached the girl, locking in his eyes with hers. He crouched down while maintaining eye contact, continuing his advancement.

"What's wrong lil missy? He asked portentously. "You look a little pale? Don't worry, we're not gonna hurt you, we're just gonna have a little fun."

Thinking that the girl was helpless, he leaned closer to her face as he was about to reach for her chest, but she retaliated. The girl leaned back and head butted the soldier, knocking him back and alarming the others. He felt something dripping from his nostrils, he wiped it off with his hand and checked to see what it was... it was blood.

"Why you little-" the bloody nosed soldier growled. He furiously pulled her green hair and drew a dagger from his holster, placing its sharp blade on the young maiden's peppered cheeks.

"That's the second time you've hit me now, someone needs to teach you some manners."

The young girl closed her eyes, not wanting to see what he'll do to her. Across her left cheek she felt a jolt of pain as the dagger left a small cut. The soldier let go of her hair which resulted in her falling to the ground. Wanting to know what happened, she opened her eyes to see the bloodied soldier out cold on the ground.
