Chapter 3
New chapter! Can anyone say it's about time lol. I am so happy so many people so far like my story. Over 400 follows so far. I have to say thank you all. So moving on lets answer some reviews.
ChunkyFunkyMunky its good to see you again and happy your back. Let me tell you now that there is no harem for CC or Lelouch in this story. Not saying they won't take some ransom person to bed every now and again for the fun of it but really can't see how or why a +500 or +1000 year old would fall in love with someone who will in their eyes die in a blink of a eye. On a sad note we will see a lot of OC characters do to the fact that we have 300 years to work with and I don't plan to do major time skips.
RoyalTwinFangs good eye the kingdom as it is now is a lot like Ba Sing Se right now. Because of my of lack of imagination I am borrowing from every moive, tvshow and anime I have ever watch lol.
Reichenfaust I am keeping it very biointensive for now and will move up slowly to a very limited industrialization. I don't what a set the river on fire becomes of pollution kingdom. If you can give me ideas on how to do that please PM me or leave more reviews. As for you other question I think we both know the answer to that.
Helkil there will be no Kightmares in this story but I do hope to add something special like armor for his royal guard or something. Have to give it more thought.
The Fallen Fox its going to be more of a mix and match type army for the most part. A lot of things will be inspired mostly by the Japanese cultural but I will mix in others as well.
Graymar1 kind of.
CrowKrowCrow ya I kind of fuck up there and went back and fixed it. Let me know when I do that again becomes let's face it I well.
OBSERVER01 I like the character drogos (wink wink). I have no idea what to do with Melisandre.
OverlordMetatron I completely forgot the Romanian Kilij. I well most like add that for like cavalry commandos down the line. Maybe don't really know.
InfinityMask narbo fire can go up that high but like any geass he had limits. Same with tycho, he can do that but there are limits.
Now on with the story.

-75BC CC and Lelouch home-
Law and justice, two things' people love to think went hand in hand but when you're a 1000-year-old immortal you know better than that. If anything, they were contradictions, illusions, a made-up fantasy to keep the masses in line. Depending on who you were the law didn't always apply to you and if you enforced it too much people would call you a tyrant. And let's not forget that everyone had their own ideal of what justice was. The truth was that the world would be a better place without those words but that would require man to actually get along with each other. Something that was as deluded a fantasy as the equal distribution of wealth or worse a world without lies.
They were nice ideas, but man was far too greedy and selfish to go along with any of them and CC should know for it was her own greed and selfishness that had brought them to this world. Yet for all their faults man could sometimes be a wonderful thing to watch. They could come together and put their differences aside to strive for a common goal every now and again. And when they did, they could build wonders never thought possible. Just like the ex-people of the Kingdom of Sarnor were doing now with the Dothraki that were added into her and Lelouch's kingdom. Oh, sure tensions were high between the two peoples and sooner or later it would all explode but for now both sides knew they had to work with each other if they wanted to survive the onslaught that was to come.
To help keep them in line Lelouch and CC had come up with a set of laws for the town that now number some 17,000 people if you counted the 5000 ex Dothraki warriors who were out with Lelouch right now. To keep things simple, they had only passed a handful of laws that were blunt and easy to follow. The first law was of course the most obvious one and that was that the Tennō and Kōgō were the highest authority in the land. Even though it was the most obvious law to pass it was also a very revolutionary one as well seeing as the law was worded in such a way that it made it clear that the Kogo was equal in authority to the Tenno. In a world were women more often than not took a backseat to men, coming out and saying CC had just as much power as her husband was a statement of how the women of their kingdom were not going to be subservient to men.
To help prove that Lelouch and CC had also passed laws that said that not only did women have equal protection under the law but that they also had the right to inherit, could own land, couldn't be made to marry, and had the right to hold political and military positions with in the kingdom. There were several other laws as well, but they were the main ones that would help to protect women's rights. It really set the stage for equality in their kingdom and though many men didn't like it they were not going to question them on the laws that they were making. After all the majority of the people of the town thought Lelouch and her were gods which there forward made them above questioning.
Sadly, not everything could be as they wanted it to be. Because of the fact that nearly half of their population was Dothraki now, there had to be some compromises in order to keep them in line. There was only so much Haggo and his bloodriders could do to keep them from openly rebelling against Lelouch and her for all the changes they were making to their way of life. They already didn't like the fact that CC could order them around and it took her killing several of them in combat to get them over it. So, to help the transition from moving from their culture to the one they wanted to put in place, they had reluctantly allowed slavery to continue.
It sickened CC to the extreme that they had to allow it to go on but there was little they could do about it. For now, they would just make it as hard as they could to own a slave. They had passed several laws to make sure that owning a slave was as unappealing as it could be. To start off they made it illegal to own a slave under the age of 16 years of age. On top of that a slave owner could not have more than ten slaves work on his or her behalf. A person could also not be born into slavery even if their parents were both slaves themselves. Any free man or woman that had a child with a slave must in turn raise said child as their own. Slave owners must provide food and clothing for any and all slaves they own.
Those were just some of the laws they had passed to start off with to. In a few decades Lelouch and CC plan to add a large tax on slave owning as well. When you looked closely their plan was simple to understand. The harder and more expensive they made it for a person to own another person the more slavery lost its appeal. It would take time, but CC had guessed that within a couple of generations slavery in their land would be gone for good and without the need for a civil war to end it. If that was not the case, then CC was sure that in that same amount of time she and Lelouch would have more than enough support and power to cleanse their kingdom of those who held on to the idea of slavery.
An evil smile makes its way to her face as she thinks about all the painful ways she would use to deal with those people. It is a smile that scares the shit out of Narbo the King of Flames who is sitting right across from her.
"Something got you in a good mood Kōgō-sama?" He asks in hopes of getting her to stop smiling like that.
Looking over at the young man before her CC smiles somewhat kindly at him. She often felt bad for poor Narbo. The young man of 31 name days was a true case of someone who had gotten in over his head and now held a position of power that he was terribly unsuited for. He was a good man and a wonderful follower but he was no leader and yet that is what Lelouch, and CC made him when they had him placed as their second-in-command. Because they had decided to make their kingdom based largely off of medieval Japan, they had made up their mind to give him the title of Shōgun. Of course, there version of the Shogun was far different from the one of their old world. Japan's Shogun was a military dictator who had absolute power over the country, their Shogun however was more are less their Prime Minister and had a number of powers that went with that title, but at the end of the day answered to them. These powers included the right to open up discussions with other countries, appoint people to positions in the different offices their empire would one day have, and of course the power to enforce the law by any means necessary including the use of the military to do so. In short it was Narbo's job to make sure that the people obeyed their Tennō and Kōgō. The only thing he couldn't do was declare war or make laws on his own.
Poor boy nearly had a heart attack when they told him what his permanent position was in their soon to be empire. He had thought that as the village grew to become a kingdom, he would be replaced with someone better suited to be second-in-command. Sadly, for him he was perfect for the position as far as she and Lelouch were concerned. He was an honorable young man with a good head on his shoulders. He could come up with ideas, follow them through and didn't have to wait around for people to tell him what to do, but most of all he was loyal. Like many others of the village, he hated the Dothraki and the deal Lelouch and her made with them but unlike the rest he wouldn't question or disobey their decisions regardless of how he felt about them.
"I was just thinking about how wonderful it will be when Lelouch and those barbarians bring the rest of their kind to heel." CC says with a scary smile on her lips.
"Indeed Kogo-sama that is a wonderful thought. I truly wish I could be there to see it happen for myself." Narbo says with a look that shows he has some doubts that would happen.
CC sees this look and smiles. "You still have doubts that my husband will accomplish that don't you Narbo-chan."
Narbo's back goes straight when she calls him chan. Like many others in the village Narbo had started to learn the language of their rulers which many called the language of the gods. So, he knew that chan was a word meant to show affection towards babies, young children, close friends and so on. His Kogo-sama however used it as a way to show her displeasure with someone and in this case to show her displeasure towards him.
"I apologize Kogo-sama but yes I still have my doubts about this. I just fail to see the reason why we need to use these barbarians at all. May I ask why you and Tennō-sama feel like we need them?" Narbo asks in a far more calm and polite way then he was really feeling right now. As far as he was concerned calling the Dothraki barbarians was to kind of a word, but then if he were to call them what he truly thought of them in front of his Kogo-sama then he knew he would get in trouble for being what she called uncouth.
CC was well aware of the fact that whenever she was upset with someone, she called them chan. It was her way of getting straight to the point unlike Lelouch who always like the little word games people like to play when they were trying to hide something. She had no patience for that anymore, and preferred people spoke their mind in her presence. So, she was not upset with Narbo questioning her and Lelouch's decisions so much as she was that the boy couldn't speak his doubts even though they had both repeatedly told him to do so. If he couldn't speak his mind what use was, he then. "I would be happy to explain it to you Narbo. You see despite what you or I think of them these Dothraki are useful. When my husband and I gave you and the original 300 your powers we had expected you all to slaughter the Dothraki that were chasing you all with ease. Instead of that however they reduced your numbers from 300 to 187 by use of their superb horsemanship and bow skills. Those are skills we are going to need if we wish to conquer the planes around our home."
By the looks on his face CC can tell Narbo is not fully convinced by what she is saying. "If that is the case Kogo-sama why don't you and Tenno-sama give out more powers or just wait till we have enough people to build up a strong enough military to take action with."
CC laughs a bit at his question. "Oh, and how long do you think that would take. It took over 10 years for our population to reach 8000 people of which we can only spare 2000 for the military. This small number would in turn suggest that we would need a population of over 16,000 to just field a measly 4000 plus troops. Now if my husband is right, it would take over 50,000 troops to conquer a sizable portion of the grasslands around us and holding it with such a small number would be impossible. No, we would need at least 100,000 troops to hold the land we conquer from the other Dothraki and to get to that number we would have to wait 50 years if not longer."
"Then why not just wait the 50 years Kogo-sama? Surely to you and Tenno-sama 50 years would be little more then a blink of the eye." Narbo says back to CC knowing both she and Lelouch are immortal.
Looking at him CC says "True 50 years is nothing but a blink of an eye to us but then who is to say the people won't just become complacent by then. After all, when you pass away it will be your children and your children's children who will take your place as leaders of what will be by then a city. Why would they care to leave the safety of the wall and river that protects them from the barbarians?"
Narbo had nothing to say to that. His Kogo-sama was right, in just ten short years his children who were 7 and 8 namedays old would be fully grown and be on their way to having children of their own. Why would they risk their lives going beyond the safety of their own homes when they were protected by a wall and the men who guarded it. Even now with hate and revenge still burning hot in the hearts of the people for what the Dothraki had done to them, there was talk about why they should go to war with them at all seeing as they were now safe behind the river and wall. Those voices would only grow as time passed by and as they did, they would be ill prepared for the day the Dothraki or some other enemy finds a way pass both of them.
"That still leaves giving more of the people powers Kogo-sama. With you and Tenno-sama around we will never have a need for other people's help." Narbo says confidently.
"And what if me and my husband were to disappear? What would you do then Narbo-chan?" CC asks to him in a condescending voice.
Narbo's face takes on a look of shock for he had never thought about his Kogo-sama or Tenno-sama leaving one day. "You would leave us Kogo-sama?" Narbo asks with some fear in his voice.
"No, most likely we wouldn't little boy, but you seem to think my husband and I will be around forever. Let me assure you boy when you are immortal you learn there is no such thing as forever. Even if we live till the end of time itself, we will still someday fade away and there is always that chance that it will happen tomorrow or the day after. So, it would be best that you and the others learn how to get along without having to rely on the powers we can give you."
Though he feels uncomfortable with what his Kogo-sama is saying Narbo none the less finds no fault with what she is saying. Indeed, like many he thought his rulers would be around well after he had passed away but then he thought the same of his old home as well.
"I understand Kogo-sama. I apologize for questioning your wisdom." Narbo says before he bows his head deeply.
-Two months later-
Sitting in a tent with the ex-kaul and now Great General Haggo and his bloodriders Lelouch thought over what had happened in the past year. After gaining the loyalty of Haggo and his bloodriders Lelouch had immediately set out to reform Haggo's khalasar into a proper fighting force. This was of course met with some resistance as many in the khalasar didn't understand why they needed to change in the first place. It also didn't help that Lelouch who was to them a shorter and overall weaker looking man then Haggo was the one saying it. With Haggo still being alive many didn't obey Lelouch at first and some had even called Haggo and his bloodriders weak for swearing their loyalty to him. There were really only two ways Lelouch could have dealt with that. One was killing Haggo and taking over as kaul which, was something Lelouch didn't what to do, or prove how powerful he really was by killing all those who question him. Needless to say, Lelouch took the second option seeing as Haggo would be needed in the years to come.
Lelouch's decision to kill those who question him had worked out wonderfully, in fact it went better then he could have hoped if he was being honest. He only had to kill about 10 men with his katana and after he let the last man stab him in the heart to show off that he was immortal, well it was safe to say the mindset of the khalasar had changed quickly. The Dothraki followed strength above all other things and a show of great swordsmanship along with showing that he couldn't be killed had more than proven why Haggo swore his loyalty to him. To them just the fact that he couldn't be killed had meant that he was so strong that he transcended life itself and of course he didn't correct them in their line of thinking.
Later that same day CC had to show the same type of strength seeing as he had told them she was his equal in every way. His loving wife didn't really mind most days in putting on a show for the lesser beings as she called the people of this world, but that day she was not in what one would call a good mood. So, in order to move things along quickly the first fool who tried to oppose her got his neck snapped for his troubles by way of her telekinesis. After that she just walked away like nothing had happened at all. Lelouch had worried that this would have a negative impact for her, but it was quite the opposite. Most of the Dothraki now saw her as even more powerful than him and thought that while he had to lower himself down to their level to deal with them, she didn't. It was actually pretty annoying at how simple it really was to deal with them and had made him wish he had done what CC had done.
Well, he guessed it really didn't matter how it happen seeing as now they had the Dothraki's respect and loyalty. After the matter was settled Lelouch got himself ready for what he thought would be the long process of turning them into a real army. Surprisingly it didn't take that long at all, it only took about 6 months in total. When it came to anything that had to do with warfare or fighting in general, they took to it like a fish took to water. To make it even easier Lelouch had used Mongol military tactics as a bases for their new training. They already had many similarities to the Mongols anyways, so it was an easy transition.
To start off with Lelouch would have them keep their bows as their main weapon and of course he didn't replace their composite bow for the far inferior Yumi bow. Lelouch may be basing a lot of the new kingdom off of the Japanese culture, but he was no fool. If he were to take their composite bow away not only, would they not be as good as they already were, but it would take far longer than he wished to retrain the Dothraki on how to use a Yumi bow in combat. No, all he would do was teach them better tactics such as the feigned retreat. The tactic itself would not be hard to teach but to get the Dothraki to use it would be. For them any retreat was a cowardly thing to do, even if said retreat was being used to lure an enemy in for attack. Once Lelouch however explained to them that the feigned retreat could only be pulled off by the most skilled and bravest of warriors their tone changed. If done wrong the feigned retreat could easily turn in to a rout and if not timed right, then the ones doing the fake retreat could be overtaken and killed down to the last man. To them this was like walking up to a sleeping dragon and slapping, then running away just so they could show off how brave they were. In other words, they loved it.
Lelouch knew they wouldn't use this tactic for some time seeing as he had not planned to take on any of the bigger khalasar for the time being, but it was still good news to find that they like the tactic none the less. For now, Lelouch would go after the smaller khalasars that were lucky enough or small enough to go overlook by the bigger ones. They would add these smaller ones in to their own forces as they found them till, they were a big enough size to take on the bigger ones in the west.
That was the plan anyways, but like most plans they get tossed out the window as soon as you make them. That was why he was currently in a tent with Haggo and his top lieutenants. The plan may have been to take out the smaller khalasars but an opportunity had presented itself that was hard to pass up. Before Lelouch had set out with his small army he had taken along two of his kings of power. They were not there for his protection however seeing as he had already made it clear that going against him was unwise. The reason he brought them along was because of their unique geass, which were perfectly suited for an army.
First there was Tosen the King of Sound. He was an old blind man well past his 60's who had the unique geass of seeing things through the use of sound waves. To most people would be a rather useless power but only to those who didn't understand the full scope of his power. With his power Tosen could hear a pin drop in a noisy room and could also hear everything around him for miles. If he so wished Tosen could even pinpoint his power so, he would only hear the things he wanted to hear as well. To put it simply he was for all intents and purposes a human radar who if he wanted could sense anything up to 50 miles away in any direction. This in turn made it so that any army he was with was all but impossible to sneak up on or hide from.
The other king Lelouch had brought with him had a geass that was just as unique as Tosen's. Ithoke the King of the Far Sight had like his name suggested the geass to see farther and better than the average man. His eyesight was so good in fact that he could see with perfect clarity up to 1 or 3 miles away depending on conditions. This made him the perfect long-range scout for any army. This also made him perfect for covering Tosen's one weakness and that being that the farther he stretched his geass the less detail he could give you on what it was that he was hearing. At short distances he could tell you how many people were in a room, their shape and size but the farther away something was from him the harder it became to tell what it was. Ithoke had no such weakness when it came to his eye site. Not only could he see clearly at over a mile, but he could most likely count how many hairs were on a person's head if he so wished.
They were the ones who informed him that just a day's ride from where they were was a khalasar that numbered around 10,000 strong. Lelouch had of course informed Haggo and told him to bring all his bloodriders and kos to a war meeting to discuss what was to be done with this information. Of course, most of the men in the tent wanted to fight the larger khalasar but didn't give any plans on how to go about doing so.
"We have the better weapons and armor. I say we fight the cunts and kill them all." Says one of the kos, a man Lelouch hadn't even bothered to remember his name.
The men around the tent make their agreement clean with a roar of approval that hardly impressed Lelouch. The same could be said about Haggo as well. He had not survived this long with his khalasar intact by simply attacking without thinking things through.
"And how do you plan we should go about this attack?" Haggo asks in such a way that it lets his kos know he expects a good answer.
The man just sits there and looks down in shame at Haggo's question. Haggo may not be his Kaul anymore, but he is still above him and knows Haggo will not hesitate to kill him if he does not give a good answer. His Tenno-sama on the other hand would not be so kind if he didn't like the answer as well.
Seeing that the man was not going to answer him Haggo says "We may indeed have better weapons and armor then those you all wish to attack but 10,000 men with bows is enough to make up for that difference. So, unless one of you has a real plan, I suggest you all shut the fuck up."
Watching as Haggo deals with his men in such away brings a smile to Lelouch's face. His wife had indeed pick out the right man to lead their army, but Lelouch still wanted to see if he could come up with a plan himself to deal with these 10,000 men or if he will suggest letting them be.
Looking over at Lelouch who is sitting at the head of all the men in the tent Haggo says, "Tennō-sama I to would suggest we attack, but that we also make use of this feigned retreat of yours. I will take 500 men and go attack the enemy. When they turn to attack me and my men in return, we will retreat to a place where you can attack them from behind with the rest of our army."
Lelouch looks at Haggo but says nothing for a bit, then says, "You do realize that if you fail you will die at our enemy's hands or mine. I will not except failure."
Looking his Tenno in the eyes Haggo says, "I would expect nothing less Tenno-sama."
Nodding his head Lelouch then says. "Ithoke when you were scouting did you see any hills or trees that we could use to hide the main bulk of my army?"
Ithoke who had been standing behind his Tenno-sama along with Tosen says "Yes Tenno-sama there was a set of hills just 10 leagues away from the enemy.
"Which is only 5 leagues from where we are right now." Lelouch thinks about it for a bit longer then stands up and says. "Prepare the men, we set out as soon as we are ready." Lelouch commands.
Each and every man in the tent bows their heads then stands up to go get ready for the battle that was to come.
About an hour later Lelouch walks out of his tent to the site of 5,000 men dressed in an improved version of the Samurai armor that he had the blacksmiths of his village make. Made from lighter steel plating the armor his men where wearing was leagues ahead of what the rest of the world was using at this time. With the strength of a medium set of armor but with the weight of light armor it was a game changer in this era of warfare. Lelouch had also done away with most of the under clothing that was traditionally used by the Samurai and replaced it with boiled leather and chainmail armor. He had also replaced the traditional kegutsu footwear with boots of leather with steel toes. The rest he kept the same.
The armor itself was colored black with a symbol in the middle of the dou that would become well known with his army in the coming years. Lelouch had to smile at the symbol for it was one that pissed off his wife quite a bit for she never did like Lord of the Rings. The Eye of Sauron or as Lelouch told his men the Eye of Shadow was clearly mark for all to see and surrounding it in Japanese script were the words that would become synonymous with the army of their kingdom. "We are death, the destroyer of worlds."
They were dark and frightening words but that was exactly what he was going for with this army and kingdom. Lelouch wanted his kingdom to be feared by all who were not a part of it, so as to keep any would be enemy at bay. One day he would make a peacekeeping force to safeguard the kingdom from the inside but for now he would carve a path of destruction throughout the land. After all, before creation there had to be destruction. At least that was the case when it came to building a new kingdom.
"Mount up, we ride to battle now!" Lelouch yells out.
A loud war cry follows Lelouch's words, then each man goes to mount their horse. Going over to his own horse which was a beautiful black war horse given to him by Haggo, Lelouch mounts it and takes the lead in front of his army as they ride of to their first battle.
-Horus later-
Riding slowly in front of a unit of 500 mounted riders Haggo took several deep breaths as he readied himself for what he was about to do. He was not afraid as some would no doubt think, but worried about failure. The feigned retreat required both perfect timing and speed. If he fucked up on even one of these things he would be over ran and remembered as a loser but if he succeeded, he would be remembered in stories as the man who help start a great empire. The timing of the retreat he was sure he and his men could pull off, but the speed needed to stay ahead of the enemy was the problem. The armor their Tenno-sama gave them may have indeed been light, but it still made them slower than their enemy on horseback. To fix this Haggo had ordered his men to drop all their armor except for the Dou. This would allow them to hopefully keep out of reach of the enemy and allow them at least some form of protection.
Seeing dust kicked up from a distance Haggo knew it was time to attack. Gripping the reins tightly he gives the signal for his men to charge forward. They have already killed the enemy scouts so the enemy should have no idea they were coming.
It takes but moments to reach the front of the enemy line and like he had thought they had no idea who they were. Drawing their bows, the men of Lelouch's army get ready to attack. Once in range they loosen their arrows at the enemy who were not ready for the attack, killing a good number of men in the process. What followed was a loud cry of pain and anger that was quickly followed by a great war cry of 10,000 angry Dothraki who quickly gave chase to their now retreating foe.
Knowing exactly what they would do to being one of them himself as Haggo and his men had loosened their arrows they had broken left and rode hard. When he looked back, he saw that his plan had work. Right behind him was a clearly angry enemy moving as fast as they could to catch him and his. He can hear their war cries as he rides as fast as he can away from the enemy and can even make out the word coward being yelled at him along with a handful of others. He and his men however paid no heed to the enemy and just kept riding on with them right on their heels.
An arrow flies through the air and strikes the man who was riding to his left right in the head killing him instantly. Haggo takes but a moment to look behind him and sees the enemy just moments away from catching up to them, firing arrows as fast as they can in hopes of slowing them down. Like he had thought even with them leaving most of their armor behind they were still slower than the enemy. Looking back in front of him he just kicks his horse harder trying to get as much speed out of the animal as he can.
More of his men are hit with arrows as they keep riding like hell is right behind them. Then they see the high hill there Tenno-sama was hidden behind. A small smile makes its way to Haggo's face as he rides passed the high hill. Knowing they have made it and the hunters had now become the prey.
A loud war cry is heard from over the hill before the site of men in black armor ride over it and then down towards the enemy. The enemy didn't know what to make of these men only that their black and red face masks with fangs of blood and the great eye in the middle of their armor made them look like demons straight out of hell. They show no fear however and a detachment of some 3000 men brake off to engage them. They fire their arrows at these men in black and to their shock their arrows seem to do little more than bounce off them. They quickly try to draw back their bows again to fire more arrows only for the enemy to beat them to it firing arrows of their own killing many. This does not however stop the Dothraki from firing again but just like before the arrows do little damage to the men in black, only killing a handful. Not paying any heed to this however the 3000 Dothraki continued to charge on to meet their foe in close quarter combat and with a mighty crash they run right into Lelouch and his men.
What followed was in short a slaughter, as the black demons cut a path of carnage straight through them with their long spears and curved swords. The Dothraki with their arakh and whips tried to stop the one-sided slaughter but were unable to put up more than a token resistance. When their blades met those of the demon's they are cut straight through in most cases and in others are damaged heavy. The whips have an even lesser effect due to the momentum of their enemy's charge they are unable to grip on to anything. They were just moving too fast for them to stop and from there point of view these demons were unstoppable.
From Lelouch's point of view things were much more different. As he rode in front of his army cutting down one enemy after the other with the same ease that a farmer would reap his crop, he couldn't help but think this was just plain sad. At first Lelouch had thought these Dothraki were a lot like the Huns or the Mongols but that was clearly an insult to the two races. From the very moment that the trap was sprung they should have realized that retreat was their only option. With the momentum Lelouch and his men had built up from coming down the hill they stood no chance at stopping them in a heads-up engagement. But if they had pulled back and used their bows, they could have put up a better fight. They still would have lost but with their speed they could have kept the distance and made Lelouch's men bleed. They didn't do that whoever and tried to go toe to toe with an enemy clad in steel. In other words, they were foolish to the extreme. With them only wearing leather armor at best and no armor at worst they stood no chance against them.
As Lelouch and his men continued to move forward cutting down their enemies like they were nothing, Haggo looked back at the enemy with calculating eyes. The whole point of this battle was to increase the number of men they had in their fighting force. Not kill everyone down to the last man like what was currently going on. His Tenno had ordered that they were to take as many of the enemy alive as possible and in order to do that they had to kill the enemy Khal and his bloodriders as soon as possible. If they didn't this all would have been little more than a waste of time. Something that was sure to piss off Tenno-sama.
So, looking around Haggo quickly spots who he was sure was the enemy Kaul. He is a good amount away from his Tenno but close enough to him seeing as just moments before he was at the lead chasing him and his men. Looking over his men Haggo quickly sees he has already lost somewhere between 100 to 200 men out of the 500 given to him. Making a up his mind the take the chance he gives out a mighty war cry of his own charges with his men into the fray. It took but moments for him to reach the enemy and they had been foolish enough again to take their eyes off of him and his men. Allowing them to attack from the back. No doubt they thought him a coward, so they had nothing to fear from him. Idiots the lot of them.
Once they crashed into the enemy the charge quickly turns into an all-out melee do to Haggo's men not having on all of their equipment. Without it they could not keep up the full charge, but it mattered little for they were already in the midst of the Kaul and his bloodriders. During the start of the melee the bloodriders lived up to the tradition of being the best of a Kaul's khalasar by killing more than a few of his men but the superior weapons they had quickly proved the difference. As they fell one enemy after the other in quick secession till Haggo meets the enemy Kaul in a heads-up battle that doesn't last long. With enemy's inferior arakh made of a crude iron Haggo's katana cuts straight through it. Then severs enemy Kaul's head from his shoulders in a spray of blood.
As he watched the man fall Haggo felt a sense of remorse for the man and the Dothraki in general. For with his death starts the death of the Dothraki way of life. From his place on the battlefield Lelouch heard a great cheer rise up which was in turn quickly followed by an even greater cry of despair. A dark smile appeared on Lelouch's face for he already knew what had happened. The enemy Kaul was dead and Haggo was most likely the one to have killed him. Taking but a moment Lelouch sends a thought to CC letting her know what has happen.
-Lelouch and CC's home-
Sitting down at a table in the home of his rulers Zeki the historian for the yet unnamed kingdom that he was a part of was taking notes for the first history book about the kingdom on what his rulers called paper. A truly amazing thing this paper was. It was so much cheaper and easier to make then parchment. Say what you want but when something was cheaper to make then another similar item, but which kept the same results you tended to go with the cheaper item. It was also one of the things he was making a note of in his book.
His Tennō-sama and Kogo-sama had tasked him personally with the writing down of their kingdom's history and it was to be in their own words completely unbiased. He was shocked that his rulers would tell him to do such a thing for in the words of his Kogo-sama "History was written by the victor." It had been that way sense time had started so to be told to tell the full truth was unusual to say the least. When he asked his rulers if they were really ok with that, they had simply answered that how was one to learn from past mistakes if they were not written down as they happened. So that is what he was going to do. He would write it all down, each triumph, each mistake and leave nothing out. He would of course start with the founding of the village and what many people now called the year of the Mandate of Heaven. When it was learned by the people of the village that the word Tenno meant heavenly sovereign or king of heaven then they naturally thought that their rulers were gods or at the least sent to them by the gods. So, in accordance with that thought Zeki had mark down the first year of the Kingdom as 1AMH or After the Mandate of Heaven.
For some reason when he told his rulers this, they had laughed at him. For what reason he was not sure, but they had many odd quirks. And it was not his place to question them anyways.
Putting his arms over his head Zeki starts to stretch his back and hears it crack.
"Feeling your age-old man?" CC says with a light giggle.
"Hardly Kogo-sama. I am still as spry as a man half my age." Zeki says to her.
"Well for a man in his 60's I would have to agree. Your young proteges have already gone home for the night. Makes me wonder who the old one really is between them and you?" CC says with a kind smile towards the old man. Of all the people in the village she could honestly say she only liked a few of them and out of those few he was her favorite. An immigrant from Yi Ti he was one of the few learned men that was with the original refugees that she and Lelouch had ran into. He was also one of the few that she allowed to talk plainly with her.
"You flatter me my lady." The old man gives a mock bow and hears his back give an even louder crack, followed by a painful groan.
Another giggle leaves CC's lips but then her head snaps and a ghost of a smile comes to her lips.
Zeki sees this smile and asks, "Good news from Tenno-sama?"
Yes, Zeki knew about his ruler's ability to communicate with each other over long distances and though it scared him to know that, he also found it just as fascinating as their ability to grant god like powers to their followers.
"Indeed, write this down. On the 3rd day, of the 6 month, of the 13th year of the Mandate of Heaven the Tenno of the kingdom (and she hated this name) of Numenor and his Great General Haggo defeated a force of some 10,000 Dothraki with a force of only some 5000 men. Then begins his conquest of the surrounding lands." CC says with a satisfied smile.

Chapter end and thank god. That took longer than I thought.
Ok so I want to answer some questions that I know people with ask before they ask them. So, the deal with slavery in Lelouch and CC kingdom was only allowed so they could pacify the Dothraki, it will not be around long and I have plans to get rid of it. Now before some one points out why didn't Lelouch just geass them to obey the answer is simple. He does not have geass anymore. Like CC once Lelouch became immortal do to the code he lost his geass.
On other note I did not see Lyanne living winning the poll but you guys have spoken so she lives.
I have added two more OC to the story but they will not be around long but I well still give details on their powers just to clear things up.
Tosen the king of Sound (yes, he looks like an older Tosen from bleach). Has Enhanced Hearing and can hear a pin drop up to 50 miles away. Depending on distance he can use his hearing to make out the shape of an object or person in great detail.
Ithoke the King of the Far Sight. Has telescope sight, can see up to 1 or 3 miles away with great detail. This makes him the perfect scout.
Once more make sure to leave a review of the story if you can. Good or bad it helps me fix and make the story better and as gets more people to read it.
new poll will be up shortly. question is should Lelouch and CC have dragons. if the answer is yes the dragons will not be the same as what the dragons
