I walked into the TOC before they could speak. "Carry on. General has the info from the night recon from the little birds coming in yet." I said as he pulled out a map and placed it on the table. "Emperor, we have found ten villages, eight about the size you attacked already. But these two are about ten times the size of 10,000 Orcs each." He said, pointing to the furthest points away from us.
So those two are Lower Tribe villages. It would make sense that smaller tribes are closer, as this place is closer to the barren plains. I count four within 25km; those will be my next target. Once I destroy those, I can upgrade at least two or three COPs to FOBs if the experience level takes more for each level. The Lower Tribes are about 75km, which is about a two-day walk if pushing it in this terrain, but four would be the most likely pace at which one would want to walk in this forest without being too tired to fight once they got here.
I will start clearing the new COP area for the FOB, and tomorrow night, I will send in four Ranger companies by Chinooks to take these two first. With little birds pulling air support, depending on how many women are there, I will need to play for that. It shouldn't be much more than the women I had brought back from this village.
"Show me the areas near these two villages that you would drop two companies in each for them and to keep Chinooks," I said as he pulled up a more detailed map and placed it on the desk.
"About 10km out from this village is a clearing that can land four Chinooks, and about 15km from this one, you can land two without a problem. I would advise sending the one that will take longer to unload and walk attack earlier; that way, they can attack and leave at about the same time the second one is attacked. Make uploading simpler, as you can only land two in this landing zone. If hostels are being called for reinforcements, it's not as open, so it's best to clear the civilians out faster." That is a sound point, very well.
"Okay, we will attack this one tomorrow at 3 pm I want the second group on standby and ready to move out when the first one attacks. If the first one wipes out all Orcs, you can land closer to the village, but in the worst case, they have to do a fighting retreat to the landing zone. We will keep two little birds on standby in the air if needed. I don't want to give away that there is a new player in the forest until we attack those two Lower tribes, but if shit hits the fan those Rangers lives are important let the little birds eat. Once the first attack happens, the other group should be landing by the time it's done. That way, the Chinooks can pick up the civilians first, and the Rangers can fall back to the landing zone and pick up a defensive posture there. They can fight, but the civilians must be pulled out first, do you understand?" Saving the civilians plays into diplomacy, as when I start to trade, I will let those women speak of my greatness and courage to save the helpless and forgotten.
Public opinion does matter, not as much as military might, but when it comes to people willing to make deals on a governmental level. It does help, as it shows a connection with humans. Granted, I will be abusing that idea for my gain, but that is also how it's used often. No one does anything selflessly. "The Great Emperor Quinn, a golden-haired protector of the human race. Smiting the orcs and saving the women they stole while giving them a place to live out their lives, what common human wouldn't be swayed by that as I bet a lot of them have lost people in their families to the Orcs and are sad that they can't live with them in the same village and who knows maybe they will come to live in my Empire once they find out I don't follow that rule." I thought this to myself.
"Pick the battalion to handle the attack, I will be going to the COP that will be built in the morning, along with B company and my two platoons of guards. If anything happens tonight, send a runner to wake me. The attack plans and what you want to use will be up to you; I am retiring for the night." I finished giving him my orders, and he saluted as I returned them and left the TOC, making my way to my chambers.
I walked into my tent and took off my plate carrier, putting it on a post along with my XM7. As I sighed, I felt a pair of hands place on my shoulder as they began to massage them. "My Emperor, let this one help you relax," Noralf whispered into my ear. Well, she is really a go-getter if I do say so myself. "Very well," I said walking to my bed and sat on it their were two smaller beds and one had a woman already asleep making me chuckle as she didn't seem like the girl to be out going in this type of thing but an elven woman who has lived longer wouldn't be so reserved about this kind of thing.
Noralf started to rub my shoulders harder and moved to my arms until pulling me onto the bed and mounting my waist, leaning down and kissing me. Her tongue sought out mine and they started to dance with one another as I moved my hands up her thighs slowly before placing them and her ass making her breath faster as we kissed consuming each others saliva like it was the greats drink in the world. I rolled Noralf over, laying her on her back as I kissed her, moving a hand into her gown. Her body started to heat up as my hand got closer to her womanhood until it reached what it sought out.
Sliding my fingers inside her made her moan under our kissing I didn't withdraw my mouth while I played with her pussy. Slowly rubbing her clit and pinching it from time to time, driving her mad with pleasure until her hips started to raise slowly and after five more minutes she placed her hands on my forearms as we kissed and lifted her hips the highest she could squirting out her love nectar covering my hand with it as I withdrew my hand then my mouth and licked it off. Her liquids taste like honey. She watched me clean my hands off before speaking in a low, shy voice.
"Please, take me." She said, making me smile.
