"Tell me the information you have gathered on the enemy," I said, looking at the General whose name was Quin. "Emperor, from the drone and personnel reconnaissance Units, it looks to be about 5,000 cavalry with about 25,000 regular trained soldiers, the rest was made up of villagers. It looks like it was a rushed job to put together, but it is understandable as they needed to put a force together to try and stop us from advancing anymore." He said, showing a picture of the enemy units.
Most of the men looked like they could barely afford clothing. Only a little more than a quarter of them had any kind of armor and weapons to fight in a war. Most of them had spears, which makes sense as spears are easily made compared to swords or other weapons. "What is your plan for the battle, General?" I asked, making him smile as he laid out the map. "I put the M777s further away from the city as their range is best used away from the city. As the enemy makes camp tomorrow and waits for the next day as marching them tomorrow and then attack would be a stupid idea unless we have a fool leading the army, I will open fire on the camp from the wall with Heavy mechian gun fire as they will most likely camp 800 meters away from the city just out of reach of arrows." He said, making me nod.
"Then in the confusion, I will open up with the M777s, making them break ranks and retreat towards the way they came. I have four battalions of Mechanized Infantry waiting for the retreating army to inflict the most damage on them as they flee back to their city further south. That way, by the time we push forward this direction, the people will lose their will to fight or flee altogether, taking the cities further south without much of a fight." He said, It sounded like a good plan. Most people aren't religious fanatics and aren't willing to die for their beliefs or country. I nodded in agreement with his thinking, sow as much fear of us as possible before letting it spread throughout the land.
"Very well, I will authorize you to use the Air Force if needed. But you probably won't need it as they don't even look trained by the Bronze Age of our world and look more like the people that brute force things, so be ready to fire the M777s before they camp just in chase. It appears that the army's General is pushing the people too hard. He seems to be the kind of guy who thinks that just because he follows a god, it will bless him in battle. God's doing makes the outcome of a war or battle, the side that does violence better does." I said, making him nod. "Emperor, I had kept the Imam's family members alive for you." He said, making me grin ear to ear. "General Quin, I am honored with this gift you have given me," I said, sending a chill down the Generals' backs as he laid eyes on his Emperor, as fear and respect coursed through his veins.
"I shall lead you to their home. They had been under house arrest the whole time." He said, standing up as we started to walk, the sound of my heart beating in my ears as the flashback of the terrorist attack that put me in bed for 15 years played out inside my head. When I was in the game, I made sure to kill every Imam and their family in person, but that never scratched the itch I had in my soul, as it didn't feel real. Now, in this world where the people are living beings, I can finally have a taste of what I truly desired, Justice.
As we stepped through the archway, I noticed a group of women and men, and the women still had their hijabs on as I spoke. "Did you tell them those were outlawed?" I said, making the General nod and speak. "I did Emperor, but they refused to listen even after we had hung several women who had dared to put them back on. The rest of the women in the city stopped wearing them, and I wanted to punish these women, but I decided it was more fitting for you to do it." He said, bowing, making me smile. "I am liking you more and more, General Quin. You may go now. I will punish these women and men myself." I said, making him bow and walk away, not wanting to witness the horrors about to befall these men and women.
"Soldiers, please cuff the men, and strip one of them for me. After you do that, strip the women and cuff them." I said as Ai walked over with a special bag of mine, as they ten or so males trying to fight, only to be knocked out and stripped before being cuffed. The women screamed out as the soldiers started to pull off their hijabs and cuff their hands behind their backs, as I pulled a table over and pulled out restraints from the bag and started to nail them into the table. After finishing, I spoke. "Drag one of the sons from the Imam over and put him on the table and strap him in," I said as they pulled the youngest son over, who was still knocked out.
He was in his late teens as he started to wake up, trying to move before opening his eyes. I moved a smaller table over the table that he was on, which was a short table, so I could stand on it as he looked up at me with hatred in his eyes, making me chuckle. "The Divine One and his prophet will damn you to hell, you infidel!" He screamed out, making me laugh out. "I have already had a taste of hell. Let me ask you something: can you even begin to understand what it's like to be trapped in your own body, as if it were a prison? Not being able to interact with the outside world, never being able to feel anything or say anything. It's madness in the trust form." I said, stepping off the table and kneeling next to it as I began to pull out tools from the bag.
I picked up a tool to break fingers, which made me smile as I placed his thumb into it and spoke. "Your Prophet isn't stopping me from doing this," I said, breaking his thumb, making him scream out in pain as I undid the tool and moved onto the index finger as I spoke again. "Your believe system is what brought me here in the first place, if yall didn't believe in a retarded religion that made y'all believe you can do wicked and evil things to the non-belivers and act like you are doing something righteous and Holy I wouldn't even be here right now," I said breaking his index finger as he screamed out. I moved onto the next middle finger.
"Who are you to judge us?! You aren't the Holy One, you have no righ-" He was about to finish as I broke his middle finger. "I can do anything I want, if you all believe you can do anything you want to infidels, you so dehumanize. You can't be upset with me if I am doing the same cruel and wicked acts as you. I am just playing by your rules." I said moving onto the ring finger as he glared at me, not being able to talk back, as he knows I don't give a fuck about what he thinks and am just toying with him as I punish him. After a few minutes, both of his hands had been broken along with his fingers, tears caked his face, and a feeling of finally having that itch scratched somewhat took place.
I pulled out a rolled-up cloth and tied the string around it before rolling it onto the floor, showing different-sized knives. "Did you know skinning a human isn't that much different from skinning an animal? Both follow the same path in the same way with minor changes, but that is understandable as humans do have different bodies." Said, making fear lace his face as he began to plead and even swore never to practice his religion ever again. He even started to insult his Prophet and Divine One, just to save himself from the fate that was about to befall him.
"Normally, you would bleed, the animal, and gut them. But I kind of like doing it while they are alive." I said, grinning from ear to ear. The man started to piss himself as I brought the knife to his chest on the sternum and cut it.
