Chapter 36.

The next morning came way too soon for either Marion or Gabriel for a bugle call woke them up at sunrise and they both felt like they had drunk an entire bottle of strong wine. They had to take a few minutes just to untangle their bodies and unstick their skin for their juices had crusted overnight and they woke up stuck together. When they finally managed to get up, Marion skipped into the bathroom and brought back a wet towel. She kneeled in front of Gabriel and thoroughly cleaned her pussy. After Marion was done, she planted a kiss on Gabriel’s pussy and jumped back up to her feet. Gabriel then signaled Marion to spread her legs and she returned the favor.

After they were both squeaky clean; they both got dressed for the day. Marion of course carried her pair of short swords and Gabriel carried her pair of revolvers, a K-Bar knife, and two throwing knives that Luke had made her. She carried one pistol on each hip, and her overcoat hide them very well but left them easy for her to get to in a hurry.

Marion had a huge amount of business to take care of today, but her first stop was the hospital of course. She stopped in and saw Luke. He was still sleeping, but Marion could tell that he looked just a little better today than he had yesterday. Marion’s next stop was to see Cecilia. She was awake of course and as she always did, had a frown on.

“Well good morning dear sister.” Chirped Marion. She was really in a good mood.

“Aye fuck off bitch” was the response.

“Aww is that any way to greet your favorite sister?”

“Favorite sister is it? I would rather be Satan’s sister then yours’s. You usurper!”

“Well, if you were actually capable of being a proper ruler then the people wouldn’t have rebelled and threw your ass out. Now would they?”

“The people didn’t rebel bitch; you did!” snarled Cecilia. Marion gave her a warm smile that pissed Cecilia off even more.

“Well, I’m afraid that I must be off for I have a lot of land to administer. Oh, by the way, we seized all the money that you made by making others suffer and we’re using it to rebuild with so you are now broke but at least the people are getting paid for their labor now.”

“You Fucking Cunt! I Swear To God And Satan And Anyone Or Anything In Between; That I Will Kill You Before I Die!” Cecilia screamed at the top of her lungs. When she finished her face was blood red and she was breathing very hard.

“I love you too sis. I have to be off but I’ll try to stop back in before I turn in tonight.” With that she patted Cecilia on her shoulder, got up, and left.

Marion had a very hard and long day ahead of her. She had to basically rebuild the entire province for Cecilia had sucked almost all the wealth out of it. She spent almost the entire day at her desk reading reports and issuing orders. It seemed like everything needed tending to at this very moment. At least Gabriel had done a damn good job at running things until Marion recovered from her meltdown or she might have had another one. Gabriel went back to her familiar role of head guard and in a pinch, Marion’s enforcer.

In her first day on the job, Marion heard complaints from everyone it seemed;

from noblemen asking her for her hand in marriage while they were whining about all the things that Cecilia had stolen from them;

to clergymen complaining about church lands and money that Cecilia had seized;

to commoners begging for food and seed to plant. For Cecilia had taken everything in taxes from them.

It was these people who Marion helped first. She had one of her guards make a list of farmers and what they needed so they could plant their crops. A different guard took the complaints of the nobles and clergy. Marion would check to see if anything that Cecilia had illegally taken from them could be tracked down. Marion also made sure that the church would at the very least get back the land that their churches and cemeteries set on.

She doubted that the church would get back any of their commercial interest and in fact she would make sure that they didn’t. In between hearing complaints, Marion worked on laying the groundwork for setting up schools and improving the sanitation system. She would have to wait until Pollyanna got back to start serious work on the road network. Thinking about roads, she sent a message to Bard, asking him to come in for a meeting with Marion.

Bard had always been somewhat of the oddball of the group for he was a mediocre fighter at best. While he could fight, he would go out of his way to avoid it. When Luke put him in charge of the metal works however, Bard found his calling for he was a natural at business. While Luke built Marion’s army; Bard built the metal works up to the point that within three months of him being put in charge, York Metal works were the best known in the Isles. They were known for innovative farming equipment and really fancy swords mostly. On the armory side is where the real innovation was at; however Marion had banned from selling to anyone but her for the time being anyway. Marion’s army created enough demand anyway that the armory could barely keep up anyway.

Gabriel had made sure that Marion had half an hour to eat the lunch that she brought her. It was just a sandwich with some fruit and a pint but Marion was thankful none the less. After dealing the huge mess that Cecilia had left, Marion was famished. After lunch, Marion was back at it until after dinner. Finally, it was time to call it a night. Everyone that was still waiting were put on a list for the first thing in the morning and offered a room for the night. Everyone was taken back for this was unheard of. Marion told them to get used to it for this was how things would be from now on. Everyone would have to wait their turn and nobody would get special treatment because of who they were.

After Marion had ate, she went down to see Cecilia just like she had promised. Cecilia was still in a terrible mood and Marion’s cheerful but tired mood made it worse. She just couldn’t stand seeing Marion happy. It really pissed her to think that Marion was doing a better job than she did. When Marion went into Luke’s room, she got the surprise of a lifetime for Luke was awake and looked right at her with a smile when she walked in. She ran to his bedside and kissed his so fiercely that he thought that she might rip his lips off. Luke didn’t know how long his wife kissed him but he didn’t care for he was so glad just to be alive and with her again. When they broke their kiss, Marion had tears streaming down her face.

“Oh my god Marion! Did I hurt you? I’m so sor…” That was as far as he got before Marion put her finger over his lips.

“Luke as much as you’re different from any other man that I’ve ever met, in one regard you are like all the others for no man that I have ever met can properly read a woman. I’m crying because I’m beyond happy Luke. I thought that I had lost you forever and that thought was crushing me. I actually lost it for three days. The last thing I remember is lifting you out of the rubble of that house. The next thing I know, I’m back in my old chambers here in the castle; still wearing my old soaked uniform. I had accepted that you had died and went to heaven. That was the only thing that enabled me to climb out of bed and not jump from a window. Then I find out that you’re still alive, and now despite your wounds are awake. Seriously I think that I’m one of the luckiest women ever to live. I love you with all my heart; Luke and I always will. I am so sorry about what I said back…”

That was as far as she got before Luke pulled her down to him and started kissing her. They kept kissing until they heard someone clear their throat behind them. They found both Alice and Gabriel standing there wearing cat ate the bird smiles.

“Marion, seriously don’t kill my patient by putting too much strain on his heart.” Said Alice trying her best to be serious. Marion started to turn red, then Gabriel just had to pile on.

“I for one, thought that there was only one person in that bed until Marion turned around.”

Everyone in the room laughed and Marion’s face got redder. She swiped Luke’s pillow and threw it at Gabriel. It hit Gabriel, only because she was laughing so hard at Marion’s embarrassment that she couldn’t really move without risking peeing her pants. After a couple of minutes of laughing, Alice was able to get down to the business that had brought her in here in the first place. It was time for her to check Luke’s wounds and change his dressings. She allowed Marion to stay as long as she promised not to get sick. She quickly promised and watched with interest as Alice changed Luke’s bandages.

His wounds had started to heal but he still had a long way to go. Alice explained that the arrow that hit his abdomen hadn’t pierced any internal organs and that the dust and rubble from the house probably saved his life for the dust had partially sealed his wounds plus the rubble acted as a tourniquet, slowing down his bleeding. Alice didn’t see any infection and didn’t smell any either. By now she had developed quite a sense of smell when it came to infections. After putting on fresh dressings on Luke’s wounds, Alice left and had a nurse bring Luke some soup. Marion despite being tired refused to leave and in fact insisted on feeding Luke herself. It took him a while but he got the soup down.

Marion gave him another kiss and Luke was back to sleep before she was out the door. Just before she closed the door though she and Gabriel stopped and looked at him once more with warm smiles. After all it was Luke who had brought them together and it was Luke who had built the army from the ground up. When they got back to their rooms, Marion was too exhausted to do much other than to curl up in Gabriel’s arms. Within minutes Marion was passed out and snoring lightly.

Gabriel looked over slightly so that she could see Marion’s face. She looked much like an angel now then she usually did. Gabriel was moved to tears for she knew just how damn lucky she was. First Luke had kept her from being raped by Richard. Then Marion had taken her under her wing and both Marion and Luke had taught her how to fight. Luke not only taught her to shoot, but had made two handguns, a repeating rifle, and some knives for her. But most of all she had found someone with an open enough mind to accept her for her and not criticize her for loving another woman. Although truth be told, if Marion hadn’t been in the picture, Gabriel could have easily have fallen head over heels for Luke, and she suspected that she loved Luke almost as much as she loved Marion. She also knew that Marion’s first and greatest love was for Luke and she gladly accepted that fact. Eventually Gabriel pulled Marion a little tighter to her and fell asleep as well.

Chapter 37.

This had set the general pattern for Marion, for the next week. Wake up in Gabriel’s arms. Get dressed and grab some breakfast. Go see Luke and Cecilia in the hospital then spend the rest of the morning dealing with a multitude of problems. Gabriel would bring her some lunch and make sure that Marion ate. Sometimes, while Marion ate her lunch, Gabriel would eat her. This bit of naughty fun always made Marion cum quickly and helped relieve some of her stress. Then Marion would be back at problem solving until dinnertime. Anyone still there at dinner would have their names put on a list in the order that they arrived for the first thing next morning.

After dinner, Marion and Gabriel would go spend some time with Luke and talk about their day. Luke always asked about how Mackenzie was doing. Before the big battle Luke would always make sure to take the time to play with Kenzie as he was prone to calling her. As feared as Luke was by the adults he met, he was loved by the kids for Luke would always take time to play with them or answer any questions that they might have. All the kids knew about Luke’s big rule; anything they discussed with him would stop at him unless they told Luke it was okay for Luke to talk about what the children talked about.

It was now Friday and a week and a half after Marion took York. Her work load today was lighter than it had been and she had actually able to get some serious work done in regards to rebuilding York. Pollyanna had been sending back regular reports. Her escorts had eliminated the rest of Cecilia’s troops and they had released a large number of captives that Cecilia had working in the mines. She had included in the reports where all the captives had come from and had sent all of them back to York for medical treatment. Some of them were down to skin and bones.

Today at lunch Marion was feeling horny and decided to give Gabriel one hell of a surprise. When she walked in with Marion’s lunch; Marion was buck naked and spread eagle on her desk. Gabriel almost dropped everything that she was carrying; she was so surprised.

“See anything you like?” Marion asked in a sultry tone that almost made Gabriel cum from the sound of it.

“That depends, anything for sale and can I try before I buy?” Gabriel asked matching Marion’s sultry tone.

“As long as you don’t damage the merchandise. If you break it you buy it.”

Gabriel smiled as she locked the door and started unbuttoning her shirt. “Well in that case, I guess that I should be gentle.” Gabriel finished unbuttoning her shirt as she reached Marion. She started kissing Marion’s feet and worked her way up. Gabriel just loved Marion’s now baby smooth legs and so did Marion for that matter. Gabriel continued to work her way up Marion’s extremely toned legs. When she got to Marion’s honeypot, Gabriel went around it much to Marion’s aggravation. Gabriel made sure to speed time around Marion’s belly button, the only place that Marion was ticklish.

As Marion started laughing and rolling around Gabriel pinned her down by laying across her. Gabriel then continued to work her way up. Coming to Marion’s still perky tits, Gabriel made sure to spend extra time here. She knew that Marion could have orgasms from have her tits sucked and Gabriel was determined to give one or two to Marion before playing in Marion’s erotic zone. It took a few minutes of sucking, licking, flicking, and twisting but Marion had cum and she cum hard. It was a good thing that Marion had cleaned all the papers off the desk first because they would be ruined now. After Marion recovered slightly, Gabriel worked her way up until her and Marion’s tongues were wrestling for space and their lungs were fighting for air.

Without warning, Marion flipped Gabriel over and pinned her down to the desk. It was time to return the favor and tease Gabriel. While she had been working that morning, Marion had herself an idea and now was a good time to try it out. Marion started out with Gabriel’s neck. This was her ticklish spot and just like she had done to Marion, Gabriel was now pinned while Marion was nibbling. Gabriel was laughing and wiggling but Marion wouldn’t let up.

Eventually Gabriel was crying and only then did Marion let up on her neck for before Gabriel could even that a breath, Marion was working her tits. As soon as Marion touched her tits, Gabriel started cumming. This produced one hell of a wet spot in Gabriel’s pants for she hadn’t a chance yet to take them off. This was quickly followed by another one as Marion worked Gabriel’s tits like a fine violin. As Gabriel was busy cumming and trying to keep her voice down, Marion had unbuttoned her pants and slipped her hand down into Gabriel’s pants. When Marion’s fingers made contact with Gabriel’s clit, Gabriel sucked in her breath. Marion had caught her by surprise and just by touching her clit, Marion made Gabriel cum yet again.

As Marion continued to work her way down, she worked Gabriel’s pants off her hips and down her shapely legs. Marion kept her one hand in Gabriel’s cunt while she worked her way down with her other hand and mouth. Gabriel was now having almost non-stop mini orgasms as Marion continued to work her. As Marion neared Gabriel’s flower with her mouth, Gabriel stuck back by spinning around so that her mouth was buried in Marion’s cunt and Marion’s mouth in hers. They both began to tongue one another.

Higher and higher they climbed and then just as Gabriel was about to have the mother or orgasms, Marion stopped. At first Gabriel was confused and she whimpered when Marion got up and opened a desk drawer. When Marion stood back though Gabriel was stunned for Marion had a piece of wood shaped like a giant cock in her hand. The thing had some leather straps on it that confused Gabriel, but not for long as Marion used the straps to attach the cock to her.

Marion was climbing up between Gabriel’s legs when Gabriel opened her mouth to ask what the hell was that. Marion silenced her with a finger over Gabriel’s lips and using some of her saliva as lubricant slipped the wooden cock very slowly into Gabriel. The stars that were usually going off in Gabriel’s eyes when she and Marion were together had been replaced with supernovas. Gabriel felt this new tool stretch her out and she had never felt so full. Gabriel grunted as Marion finally bottomed out. Marion held still for about half a minute and during that time they stared into each other’s eyes. As Marion started to shift her hips, Gabriel did as well. This was simply too intense for Gabriel not to participate. She tried talking but all that came out of her mouth was oh and ah, and moans and groans. Gabriel’s hips sped up even as Marion didn’t and before long Gabriel was fucking herself on

Marion’s strap-on. Marion was prepared for this though and just before Gabriel was able to cum, Marion stopped and pulled out until Gabriel was able to calm down some. As Gabriel was calming down, Marion pulled her off the desk and spun her around. Marion then pushed Gabriel until she was bent over the edge of Marion’s desk. She didn’t even give Gabriel a chance to speak before she rammed her wooden cock back into Gabriel’s soaking cunt. Using her hands, Marion pinned Gabriel down to her desk as she sawed her cock in and out of Gabriel. Sometimes as Marion would thrust in, their clits would come into contact and sent electric shocks through both of them.

As they went, Marion made sure to move so their clits would continue kissing. This was driving both of them to the brink and Marion got there moments before Gabriel. It was now Marion’s turn for supernovas. Just as Gabriel started to cum, Marion pulled out too far and, in her haste, to get back in; accidentally drove her cock into Gabriel’s virgin ass. Thankfully Marion couldn’t thrust too far into Gabriel for that could have led to Gabriel getting seriously hurt.

As it was, Marion’s mistake was painful enough and Gabriel went from singing like an opera singer to crying like a baby. Marion had the strap-on off of her in a second and had Gabriel wrapped up in her arms. Marion stayed there and cradled Gabriel until she was cried out and then it was Marion’s turn to cry for, she could have hurt her lover and she couldn’t stand the thought of ever hurting her.

“You know Marion” started Gabriel “that thing is almost as amazing as the woman wheedling it.” This made Marion smile a little “Next time you want to plow that thing up my ass though we might want to look into using something like lard for lube. I think that once I get through the pain that might be really, really good.” Marion was now amazed for here was her lover talking about willingly taking it in the ass. “What, I think that it might be fun to experiment; after all, just think about what would have happened if we had been prudes like everyone else when Luke introduced us.”

“Aye you’re right sweetie.” Marion said after thinking for a second.

As the woman were getting ready to resume their gentle kissing, someone knocked on the door

“Yes, what is it?” asked Marion

“Message from Colonel Pollyanna marked urgent.” Said the voice

“Just a minute” Marion and Gabriel quickly put their clothes on, made sure that they were decent and definitely made sure that their new toy was put away.

“Enter” Marion said after quietly unlocking the door.

The messenger was obviously in a hurry and Marion recognized him as one of Pollyanna’s most trusted lieutenants. He handed the message to Marion who read it:

“Have spotted possible enemy troops entering from the northwest. Forces consist of approximately one thousand infantry and five hundred cavalrymen mostly man-at-arms but also fifty or so knights. Wearing colors consistent with the lake district. Keeping forces hid and unknowns under observation.

Colonel Pollyanna, Corp of Engineers”

Gabriel read the message over Marion’s shoulder.

“What do you think ma’am?” asked Gabriel. When it was business, Gabriel always called Marion ma’am

“What I think is irrelevant. Just having those troops so close is a serious threat.” Turning to the messenger:

“Take this order back to the Colonel. Keep under observation as long as you can do so without being spotted. Will need updates as you can give them. Under absolutely no circumstances are you to engage but do everything in your power to slow them down. Will need a day or two to mobilize the rest of the army.

Marion of York”

Marion gave the messenger the orders and told him to get a fresh horse and a quick bit to eat before leaving. The man left and Marion called her orderly.

“Gather the regimental commanders in the war room. I will be holding a briefing in thirty minutes.”

“Yes ma’am” and the orderly sped off like a gazelle.

“Sounds like you’re going to be earning your pay again sweetie. I want you at the briefing as well so you better get going. I’m going to see if Luke is well enough to join us.”

Gabriel snapped to attention and giving her salute, turned on her heel and shot out of the room. Marion left moments later, closing the door behind her. Moments later she was in Luke’s room. To her surprise, he was up and getting dressed. He hadn’t got his shirt on when Marion came in so she could easily see the arrow wound on his abdomen and his arm was in a sling. Before she could even speak Luke asked her:

“How bad?” Marion was surprised at first but with Luke she half expected that.

“About fifteen to eighteen hundred men headed this way. Possible they came from the lake district.”

“Probably heard about Cecilia being crushed.”

“Honey you keep forgetting that armies in this day and age can’t mobilize that fast. I bet they started mobilizing when they first heard that Richard had been killed and with winter thrown in there that would make perfect sense.”

“Ya, guess so. Also, I bet that they were waiting a bit for the grass to grow and to see what happened between you and Cecilia.” Marion nodded “When is the briefing? I’m assuming that’s why you’re here in the middle of the day.”

“In about twenty minutes.”

“Can you help me with my shirt then please. I’m still a little sore.” As Marion was helping with his shirt Luke said “You also might want to wash yourself up some, you smell of hot girl sex; and you might want to hurry and tell Gabriel as well.”

Now Marion blushed fiercely for she didn’t realize that she smelled of sex. Luke didn’t help her any either when he came in for a kiss. Marion thought that he was going for her lips, but at the last second, he swerved and got her neck. His whiskers tickled Marion to no end and she loved it. He then whispered in her ear:

“So how do I compare?”

“There’s no comparison between the two of you and you know it Luke. There’s no way that I’m getting rid of you, after all you are my world.”

Luke smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss. Come on we need to get to your meeting. At the door, Luke had to stop and tie a shoe. He was finding that he was still having problems doing most things for himself. He waved to Marion that she should go on and he would catch up so Marion walked through the door to her war room. Inside all her regimental commanders were already there.

“Why did you call this meeting?” asked one of them. It was obvious that he was annoyed. The door behind Marion opened and he sounded like he had swallowed a shoe sideways when he saw Luke enter in uniform. ‘Oh, fuck this is serious’ was the thought that was going through everyone’s minds.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t be keeping you long but we have been invaded. I got a message from Colonel Pollyanna about half an hour ago. She has sighted just short of two thousand troops entering our lands from the northwest. Current evidence suggest that they hail from the lake district.”

All the commanders swallowed for they knew what would happen should those fuckheads got into York. Marion then continued.

“So far we don’t have too much intel but I have already ordered Colonel Pollyanna to keep them under observation and to do everything she can do to slow them down without engaging. You all have until this time tomorrow to get your troop mobilized and ready to march. I want to be headed out of town before dawn Sunday morning. Now if there are no questions...” Marion looked around and nobody said anything. “Then dismissed.”

The amount of noise increased drastically as everyone got up and headed for the door. Soon Marion, Gabriel, and Luke were alone.

“Sounds like you’re going to be earning your pay again Gabriel.”

“You know your wife was just saying the same thing.”

“Well, you know they say evil minds like alike.”

“Hey, I’m not evil; I’m the good one. Don’t you see my halo?” protested Marion

“Aye being held up by horns.” Snickered Gabriel

“Gabriel!!!” shouted Marion as she punched Gabriel in the shoulder. Luke laughed then cleared his throat

“I should be getting going to so I can get the artillery ready.”

“You’re not going anywhere but back to bed mister.” Growled Marion. Normally with anyone else that would have been the end of the discussion, but Luke was the exception because he wasn’t afraid of Marion. Luke just gave her a look. “Gabriel, help your boss out will you please?”

“Nope. I might be brave and crazy but I’m not stupid. One; there is no way that I’m getting involved in anything between you and Luke. Two; I think that you’re going to be needing his help anyway and he does know the artillery better than anyone and we haven’t replenished all of the powder yet. Hopefully in a month or so we will be able to keep up.” Marion knew when she was beat.

“OK Luke. Get going. Just make sure to save some energy for me tonight.”

“Yes ma’am.” Luke snapped to attention every centimeter looking like the marine he was and saluted as best he could. Marion returned the salute and Luke was off. Marion actually shed a tear watching Luke turn and leave.

The rest of the day flew by for Marion. She had so much to do and not much time to do it in. She did make time to go and try to talk to Cecilia to see what she might know.

“It’s God’s will. They have the best army in the north and they will crush you like the bug you fucking are” snapped Cecilia.

“Somehow I doubt that.” Knowing that anymore was a waste of time, Marion went to find Alice to give the news.

“Fuck!” was Alice’s response and she started mobilizing all of her resources so that they could deal with more casualties.

By the time that Marion had got back to her rooms for the night, she was exhausted. Gabriel was already there and lightly snoring. Marion smiled to herself as she undressed and climbed in behind Gabriel. They snuggled against each other and Marion passed out.

Chapter 38.

The next morning, Luke still hadn’t come to bed and Marion was a little concerned so she got out of bed before Gabriel and while she was getting dressed, Gabriel woke up.

“What’s up?” asked Gabriel still trying to get the sleep out of her eyes.

“Luke didn’t find his way up here last night and I’m curious as to why.”

“Okay well give me a couple of minutes and I’ll come with you.” True to her word, Gabriel was dressed a couple of minutes later and they were off to find out what happened to Luke. Their first stop was the artillery barracks and they found them a beehive of activity. Every soldier was already up, dressed, and preparing for action even through the sun wasn’t even up yet. When asked they said that Luke had woke everyone up almost an hour ago and gave everyone a list of things that he wanted them to get done before lunch. Marion looked at one of his lists and was amazed at how long it was and how many of the things on that list that she would have never thought of.

The next place they checked was the armory and that too was a beehive of activity. Luke had been there too and left them with list. Only theirs was even longer than the artillery list. The third place on the ladies list was suggested by one of the guys in the armory. He told them that they should check out the powder mill for Luke seemed to be pissed with both the quantity and quality of the new powder. When they were still almost a half a block from the brand-new powder mill, they could hear Luke bellowing and he was beyond pissed. They quickened their steps so they could get there and hopefully defuse Luke’s temper before the whole mill blew up.

When Marion came through the door, she stopped so suddenly that Gabriel ran right into the back of her and fell on her ass. When Gabriel looked up, she could see why Marion had stopped. Luke was white as a sheet in his anger. They watched as his fist went right through a barrel of powder. Neither of them had ever seen Luke this mad, but as they listened, they began to understand why. This powder was almost useless for it had been mixed wrong and Luke had left very exacting instructions on how to make the powder.

Apparently, the guy that Marion had put in charge of the mill was some kind of alchemist and thought that he knew better then Luke. Luke was finally slowing down in proving to the idiot that he was indeed an idiot. The guy was trying his best to get away from Luke; and Marion actually wondered if the guy was going to catch on fire given Luke’s full command of several languages.

Eventually, Luke seemed to relax but nobody else in the building did. After all Luke had always seemed like such an easy-going person and now he had just gone thermonuclear on someone. Luke had barely calmed down when he told the idiot to get out of the building and never come back. As the guy was hurrying out of the building, Luke yelled at him once more:

“And don’t even think about taking this or Any other formula that you might have learned here to anyone else for if I find out you do; I will hunt you down and rip you to pieces with my bare hands.”

The poor man was now so scared that he pissed himself as he ran from the building. Marion was about to vomit for Luke had scared her shitless as well. Gabriel meanwhile was just standing there in absolute shock. Luke however wasn’t wasting any time. He sent a message to the artillery barracks saying that they were all to forget the rest of their list and report immediately to the powder mill. He then started reorganizing the remaining workers. To say that resistance was muted would be an understatement. Luke was so into his work that he didn’t even notice Marion and Gabriel turn and leave, hell he hadn’t even noticed that they were there in the first place.

After the artillery unit got to the mill and Luke had instructed them on what he wanted them to do, he had all the remaining powder gathered up so he could see if any of it could be saved. Thankfully most of it could be saved but it would take some time. Luke worked tirelessly the rest of the day and into the night. It was after midnight before Luke managed to find his way back to Marion’s rooms. There he stripped down and passed out in a comfortable chair. He didn’t want to lay down in bed because he was beyond dirty with gun powder. He had put in a long day but he thought that as long as they were careful, they should have enough powder to get by.

The rest of the day the girls were busy as well. Marion got several updates on the approaching army’s progress. The fact that they were hostile was no longer in doubt when they caught a village unprepared and slaughtered everyone in it except the young women. Pollyanna reported that she was destroying bridges in the army’s path and downing trees across the road to help slow them down but they were moving fast. Marion and Gabriel did make sure that they both took the time to make sure that their personal weapons were clean and ready. By this time, Luke had managed to also make a revolver for Marion and she was actually a somewhat decent shot.

All that day Alice had the doctors and nurses and anyone else she could round up making bandages and sulfa powder. She made sure that her alcohol supply was topped off and all the instruments were clean and sharp. That night when Marion and Gabriel were finally able to turn in, they found Luke snoring in a chair, half dressed. It seemed that he was so tired that he couldn’t get any further. Marion finished undressing Luke and covered him with an old blanket for he was filthy and he stunk. By this time, Gabriel had got them some warm water and they cleaned each other off with rags. After they were reasonably clean, they went to bed as well.

The next morning, an orderly woke the three of them up before dawn. It was time to finish marshalling the troops and head out. Marion made sure that she left enough troops in town to protect it and keep the prisoners from Cecilia’s army under control. The fact that Marion had them all moved to more secure areas of the castle helped. She also ordered all the wounded that could be safely moved out of the hospital be moved as soon as possible.

It was just after dawn had broken when the army marched out of town. Everyone that could had turned out to cheer on Marion’s army even through it was a Sunday. Even though she had only been in charge for two weeks, she was extremely popular with the entire population. Most of the people were even starting to slowly gain some weight again. The trip out was uneventful much to Marion’s relief. It seemed that Luke’s forethought was saving the army a great deal of time and many headaches. Luke still cautioned her:

“Remember the great saying my darling, “In war everything is simple, but the simplest thing it difficult”” Karl Von Clausewitz. Luke was full of sayings like that “Amateurs study tactics, Professionals study logistics.” “An Army marches on its stomach.” “War is hell.” And many others. Marion had heard them all before and she tried her best to take them to heart. After all Luke had been a professional soldier for years and he had experienced all of these things firsthand. Thankfully Luke had a couple of books that helped Marion become a general. One was The Art of War and the other was On War. Marion had read and reread both books to the point where she almost had the damn things memorized.

A few times when they were riding, Marion did have to admit to herself that she did led an impressive army. By now it was almost 2200 hundred men and women strong. It had highly advanced weapons All the infantry carried single shot bolt action rifles that shot a prepared cartridge and had an effective range of almost eight hundred meters. Every one of them were also equipped with a bayonet and a K-Bar combat knife.

All the cavalry carried two cap and ball six shot revolvers, a saber, and a carbine rifle. The artillery was the most impressive for they were armed with twelve pounder smoothbore cannons and 3-inch ordinance field guns. These guns were light and made of cast iron. The soldier’s training in many ways was even more impressive. Every man and woman had been drilled until they could do their jobs in their sleep. Then they were drilled some more. Luke had also saw to it that they were all cross trained, especially the cavalry. Luke had also seen to the creation of a highly effective supply line that could keep the army well supplied in the field without having to resort to foraging.

One of the first rules that Marion had put in place for her army was that civilians and prisoners were not to be mistreated without orders. Luke convinced her to put that last bit in for he knew what kind of weapon fear was. There would use it when a town wouldn’t surrender. The choice for the town was simple: surrender and allow the army to march in and the town would be protected or if they fought back, the town would be sacked.

Every village and town that Marion’s army came to surrendered without a thought of fighting. In fact, as the army marched through many of the civilians would come out to watch and some would cheer. In many of the larger settlements, Marion would leave a company of infantry and a cavalry squad with orders to keep the peace, ensure the supply line, and finally to start improving the local infrastructure.

After three days of marching, Marion’s army came into contact with the invaders. Marion had known where they were at all times, thanks to Pollyanna’s reports. When Pollyanna and Marion finally met back up, Marion immediately ordered Pollyanna’s engineers back to camp. They were to eat, sleep, and clean up for they had been living on cold food and sleeping on the bare ground for almost a week. Marion was going to give her tent and bed over to Pollyanna but she refused saying that she would stay with her unit. Marion did order that Pollyanna’s troops were to have first dibs on supplies and beds for they were all exhausted.

It was late afternoon when the armies had met sort of. Marion’s army could see the enemy but the enemy had no idea that Marion’s army was in the area for they were not maintaining adequate scouting. As far as Luke was concerned so much the better. Marion’s commanders spend the rest of the day finalizing their plans. The enemy had already bedded down for the evening. Apparently, they were in no hurry for they only moved maybe eight miles a day. Marion’s could move almost twenty miles a day when they wanted to. By dusk the plans had been finalized, the main attack would come from the East as the sun was rising. Before the attack, the cavalry would circle around to prevent anyone from escaping. Now the hard part began, the waiting for the attack.

Chapter 39.

Marion faces news challenges.

The night before had been hard on Marion for she was anxious to get the battle over with. They could hear the women’s cries coming from the enemy camp as they were being raped and it was everything that Luke could do to keep Marion and Gabriel under control. He did this by encouraging Marion to turn her anger and anxiety toward making sure the army was ready to go. The three of them went to every unit and visited with the troops for a little bit. Marion made sure that none of them had any questions of why they were there to fight. Of course, none of them did and if they had, the screams coming from the enemy camp answered them. She also made sure that nobody lacked for any gear.

After almost two hours of visiting the troops, it was time for Marion to try and get some sleep. When Marion returned to her tent, Luke stripped her down. The feeling of Luke’s powerful, rough, but gentle hands on her skin made Marion get so wet that she thought that she had peed herself although the smell coming from between her legs was telling a different story. As Luke gently rubbed her skin, Marion was getting goosebumps and her nipples were at full attention. Suddenly Marion wasn’t nearly as tired as she had been only minutes before and before she could stop them, her hands were tearing at Luke’s uniform trying to get it off. Finally, Marion was able to get her hands into Luke’s uniform where she went straight to his cock. Her actions had made it clear that her body wanted to be fucked hard and it was desperate.

Luke picked Marion up with his good arm causing her to squeal like a schoolgirl. It had been so long since they had done this. Luke laid Marion down on her cot while he shed his uniform and Marion was delighted to see that Luke’s cock was already fully at attention and rearing for action. Luke started off trying to be gentle with his wife but she had other ideas for she flipped Luke over and straddled him, impaling herself in the process. As soon as she was sure that she was indeed impaled, Marion started riding Luke for all she was worth.

The only sounds that escaped her mouth was oh and ah. As Luke caught up to her, she started making new sounds for she started yipping like a dog and howling like a wolf. The troops outside were grinning ear to ear while they listened to Marion and Luke. When Marion started howling, most of the troops were trying to hold back their riotous laughter as to not disturb Marion; but it was very difficult. Most of them had to get away from Marion’s tent so that they could break out in laughter.

On and on Marion rode Little Luke. Every time Luke leaned her back a bit, his cock would rub on her G-spot and she would cum hard. Marion would then fight to get back upright before Luke would lean her back again. This went on over and over again. Finally, Marion could feel Luke swelling up inside her.

“Oh honey, give it to me, Fill Me Up With Your Hot Cum!” Marion was yelling as Luke swelled even further. Then Luke exploded. Almost five months of cum and frustration came flooding out. Luke thought the he would never stop cumming and actually lost track of how many times his cock pushed more cum deep inside his wife. As Luke was cumming, Marion was overwhelmed by a massive orgasm of her own. The only thing that had kept her on Luke was his hand locked onto her hip. She was screaming at the tops of her lungs as she came and her body was shaking so hard that she thought that it might fly apart. As she was finishing, she passed out. Luke then gently moved her to lay next to him as he curled up with her.

As he was falling asleep, a thought crossed his mind and he turned his head so that he could see Gabriel. She was sitting in a chair, near the tent flap.

“You going to join us? You need your sleep too, you know.”

“With all due respect Luke, I’ll stay here tonight for we are in the field after all and the enemy is not too far away. I’ll sleep when I’m dead and since I’m not dead yet; I guard.” With that she looked away signaling that the conversation was over. Luke smiled warmly at Gabriel for he was very fond of her. He then snuggled up against Marion’s soft body and quickly fell asleep.

Gabriel woke Luke and Marion up two hours before sunrise. They didn’t need any encouragement to get up and they were dressed in under five minutes. They took a second to make sure that their uniforms were in order before setting out of their tent. Outside the guard at the tent flap came to attention and presented arms as Luke and Marion stepped out. Marion saluted and thanked the guard before she made her way around to wake the troops. Within half an hour the camp was a beehive. Marion had forbid all fires or other light sources that could give them away.

Breakfast would be eaten cold and mostly consisted of veggies and jerky. Luke had banned the consumption of alcohol until after the battle so everyone had milk or water with breakfast. No one was happy about this, but they followed the order to the letter for to disobey would be risking Luke’s wrath and after the incident at the powder mill, nobody, even suicidal maniacs, were willing to risk that. It took almost an hour and a half to get the army into formation and positioned. This time Marion knew that there was no reason for her to give any speeches at all. Just orders and those were nothing major for all the commanders knew the plans.

Slowly the sky started to lighten up. Marion was sitting on her horse where she could just barely see the enemy encampment but they couldn’t see her army for they were behind a small hill. This was going to be a good day for a battle. It was shaping up to be a clear day with a light wind out of the east. This would keep the smoke out of her troops faces and help blow any arrows back at their shooter. As she was watching, she saw the signal from her cavalry that they were in position and ready. She looked behind her and saw the sun was just starting to peak above the eastern horizon. It was now time to start.

Chapter 40.

In the Lakemen’s camp it was shaping up to be another good day. The sun was just coming out when the noble who was paying for this expedition stepped out of his tent were, he had just finished another enjoyable night with his harem. They were young women, girls really for he liked his bitches with little hair below and non-sagging tits, that had been taken from the villages that they had went through. He was looking forward to fucking Cecilia’s brains out for he had heard of her beauty and her wealth all the way in the lake district and the wealth he badly needed for he was in deep debt from his father’s bad spending habits. As the nobleman looked around, cooking fires were just being lit around the camp and some of the men were starting to move around. So far, they had seen no enemy forces during their march and none of them expected any either.

Just as the nobleman was ordering breakfast a single drummer and a fife player appeared, over the top of a nearby hill. They were playing some tune that the noble had never hear before but was kind of catchy. The tune was one that Marion had got from Luke called The British Grenadiers but almost nobody else knew that. Before he had time to wonder about it, a flagbearer also appeared. The flag was waving gently in the morning breeze but the noble could see the colors. It was a white flag with a bright red cross through the middle.

The noble had heard that this was the flag of Marion of York for he had heard fairy tales about her as well but he had discounted these as just that, fairy tales. Now the fairy tales were rapidly turning into a nightmare. She had caught them by complete surprise for the noble could hear the army moving up the backside of the hill with a rhythmic beet. He started shouting the alarm to his men, but many of them were very drowsy and most of them had hangovers. Slowly the enemy troops appeared over the top of the hill and although they were still away off; the noble couldn’t see any pikes or knights. ‘This is going to be easy’ he thought to himself. As he prepared his armor he watched as strange wagons appeared and the men in front of them moved to the side to let them through.

The wagons moved up to a position at which they could look down on the whole camp. As he wondered what the hell was going on, the wagons were unhitched from their horses and men started going something with their ends which were pointed right at the camp. The wagons only had two wheels that he could see and looked like they were hauling a tree trunk around.

By this time about half of the noble’s men had formed up and he ordered an immediate charge toward those wagons. As the noble’s men charged up the slight hill, the men near the wagons leaned to one side and covered their ears. What happened next would end the noble’s dreams of wealth and hot pussy.

Luke might have been the top army commander under Marion, but he was also the artillery commander, so this is where he was at. His troops had positioned their guns right where he had wanted them for, he had direct fire at the enemy camp. For this battle, he had placed his guns almost wheel to wheel and then he waited while the enemy closed the distance. For this battle, Luke had the guns loaded with canister shot in effect turning the cannons into giant shotguns. Each of the balls in the canister shot was about the size of a large marble. When the enemy front lines were three hundred meters away, the wait was over.

“Fire!” Yelled Luke in a voice that he knew would carry across the battlefield. Across his line, the guns fired in prefect unison and twelve loads of canister went hurling toward the enemy.

“Reload!” Luke yelled but this troops were already reloading, after all what else would they be doing on a battlefield; taking a nap? The carnage inflicted on the enemy troops was almost instant and horrendous. The noble watched as some of his men just disintegrated, while others had arms or legs or heads ripped off. This was something that the noble wasn’t used to seeing and he had been in plenty of battles. Still, they were so close, so he called for a full charge. Hopefully he could get under those things before they did that again and then it would be his turn to do the butchering.

When they were within only one hundred meters, the noble saw the men lean to the side again and more smoke appear. This time through he was ready and he dove into the dirt. Many of his men followed him and the ones who had been slow were ripped to sherds. As the noble got his feet again, he was disheartened to see the enemy infantry was now in front of those wagons. Then he heard the words of the enemy commander.

Luke had been able to fire two volleys from his cannons, before the enemy had gotten too close. After his second volley, he ordered the infantry, who had been right behind the artillery to the fore and the artillery was to be hooked back up and pulled out of the way. Luke could see that the enemy had been bled badly, but whoever the commander was over there was smart for he had drove into the dirt just before the artillery fired the second time but no worries. This infantry came up in two lines with bayonets already fixed. When they were in position Luke yelled:

“Front Rank, Kneel! Aim! Fire!” The front rank sent their lead downrange. “Reload!”

Next to him the top infantry commander yelled:

“Rear Rank! Aim! Fire!” The rear rank sent their volley downrange. “Reload!”

Again, they repeated this. By this time the enemy was starting to break. Luke then yelled:

“For Marion And York… Charge!” The infantry let out a war cry as they rapidly advanced. They hit the remaining enemy like a saw and went right through them like a red-hot knife through butter. Any of them who ran were either cut down or shot in the back. Any of them who tried to stand their ground were cut down or shot in the front. Within minutes, the infantry had reached the enemy camp. There they slaughtered any enemy they could find for they had no interest in taking prisoners. Some of the enemy routed and started running down the roads, just trying to get away. There they found cavalry waiting for them and they were cut to pieces.

The cavalry had no more interest in taking prisoners then the infantry did for they had heard the rapes that had gone on the night before. In fact, anyone that even tried to surrender was cut down anyway. Everyone figured that Luke didn’t care that much about the enemy troops and they were right; Luke didn’t and in fact some of the prisoner killing was done by him. His excuse was that he thought that they were reaching for hidden weapons.

They were stunned when they started looking through the enemy camp for, they had been extremely rough with the woman that they had taken. Luke ordered that all the camp women be taken immediately to Dr. Alice and they had priority over the enemy wounded. Luke then set up guards over the rest of the camp. Once all the captured gear was inventoried, everyone would get their share. Luke then ordered that the few prisoners that had actually been taken to start digging mass graves for the dead. This was one of the reasons that Luke was a popular commander. He tried to keep his soldier’s workloads to a minimum when it was possible.

The dead were to be stripped before they were dumping into the grave and all that gear was to be added to what was taken with the camp. He then sent out scouting parties to make sure that no other enemy troops were in the area. If they found any the orders were simple:

“Use your common sense.” Off rode the cavalry in different directions to search for more enemy troops. Watching all this was Marion and her body guard unit. Marion felt that someone had come up next to her and wasn’t surprised to see that it was Gabriel who had come up next to her.

“He really is one hell of a commander, isn’t he?” For some reason this simple question settled a matter for Marion that she had been pondering for months. She knew that she wasn’t a commander for the battlefield and she had always relied on Luke. Now it was time to act.

“Come on” Marion said cheerfully as she spurred her horse into motion. They rode out into the enemy camp where Luke was dealing with enemy prisoners and captured camp women. As Marion rode up, Luke called for attention and he saluted Marion.

“Well General MacDougall; how long do you need here? I want to get most of the army off and on their way to the lake district. This raid must be punished. Plus, I want the lake district for my own.”

She was secretly pleased to see the stunned look on Luke’s face for although he had never been officially in charge of the army; unofficially that was the way that it worked out. Luke was quick to recover.

“We should need the rest of the day to finish up here. Tomorrow morning, we should be able to get on our way.”

“Good. Carry on General.” Marion said as she turned her horse around for, she wanted to go check in with Alice on the condition of the captured camp women. As they rode off both Marion and Gabriel smiled widely.

“It’s nice to see that you still have some surprises left in you honey.” Teased Gabriel

“Yep, I found it highly enjoyable that I’m still able to surprise Luke as well.”

“So, you going to spend tonight with the general?”

“I sure as hell hope so.” Giggled Marion and Gabriel smiled.

“When the general leaves tomorrow for the lake district, we will take the rest of the men, with the exception of the men in the villages, back to York. We still have much work to do there.” Gabriel nodded her agreement.

The rest of the day was busy for everyone. The dead needed buried, the wounded needed brought to the hospital and Luke had to get his troops ready to march again. The loot had to be inventoried and divided. He had hoped to go be going back to York but he had to admit that Marion’s orders did make sense, but that didn’t mean that he had to like them. Although he didn’t like the orders, he would carry them out to the best of his ability because he firmly believed that the military had to obey their civilian commanders and Marion of York was his. It was this belief that he worked tirelessly to infuse into the new army. Along with disciple, duty, honor, courage.

As the day came to a close, Luke told his troops to turn in early. He was giving them a few hours to relax a bit before they would have to march on. Although his troops were resting, he wasn’t for he still had hours of work ahead of him. In fact, unless he got some help, he wouldn’t even be able to take care of his wife. Luke was working furiously for he desperately wanted to get back to his wife because he didn’t know just how long he was going to be gone for this mission. He first went through and inventoried all the army’s supplies. That took an hour or so. Then he had to make out requisitions so that he could either buy supplies locally or have them brought up from York. That done he went and checked on the soldier’s weapons to make sure that nobody needed repairs made.

There was always at least someone who broke something during combat. That done he made sure that everyone had a place to bed down for the evening and that sentries were posted for the night. Luke always using multiple rings of sentries that had overlapping fields of vision. Finally, Luke was able to relax a bit and truth be told, he was exhausted both mentally and physically. He finally was able to drag his sorry ass into Marion’s tent where he found that she had already fell asleep with Gabriel in her arms. Luke smiled at the women and stripped partially down and finding his favorite chair collapsed and fell into his on-guard sleep, meaning that he would wake up every fifteen minutes or so and check the surroundings before going back to sleep. This was a holdover from his days in the corps.
