Nova Roma

Miyuki was crossing the line of Defense in sector A because in recent days the soldiers have faced sporadic attacks by the Estabellis and some chupacabras.

Due to the use of traps and that it is a 24/7 monitored area the attacks could be stopped, the chupacabra bodies were immediately burned to avoid possible births of their bodies.

For the Estabellis the soldiers found in their skins away to win some denars, the merchants began to buy them to make boots, belts, and various leather goods because there is no regulation regarding the beast skins the soldiers could sell them.

Miyuki looked at this situation and decided to create laws for the handling of the skins, it is fair that the soldiers can keep the skins because, in the end, they killed them, but they can only do so if they are species that do not generate problems such as chupacabras.

If it is not regulated perhaps in some future when they kill some beast that may have a bacterium or virus that kills people, one of the things that Miyuki liked was that on the way in the line of defense she could see that the trenches were clean.

She had to admit that the care they did to avoid disease was surprising, the only thing that worried her was that the weather was getting colder but the defenders did not have adequate equipment to withstand that climate.

I speak with Commander Leonel who was in charge of sector A "Commander I will send winter supplies with that his troops do not go cold this winter, there is some other need that requires their sector."

Leonel looked at Empress Miyuki and showed the defense line map in her sector "The Estabellis are quite annoying but they are starting to detonate the economy of the defense line, I would like to ask permission to build markets for the soldiers They can buy and sell.

Also, many of our single soldiers have begun to get impatient at not being able to marry and expect some opportunity to unite their lives in marriage with a woman. "

Miyuki smiled "For singles prepare marriage dates, bring refugee or native women of marriage age, the empire needs more population so it can give soldiers incentives to have children.

Where he plans to create markets make small houses for soldiers and their families when the northern crisis ends they can keep that house or sell it to the empire in any way for the services they will receive hectares of land so they can grow their crops. "

Leonel looked at the Empress and with some sorrow said: "Empress the idea is good but the money ..."

Miyuki took out an imperial edict and handed it to Commander Leonel "You have unlimited resources for the works for the benefit of the defenders, as you, General Amancio and General Aurelia, have a free path for development.

I don’t want to get ahead but maybe sooner than what the defense line can believe is going to be replaced by a gigantic channel that crosses between the two seas and the number of soldiers will be less and they will be in a safer place. "

Commander Leonel was surprised by what the Empress said: "Excuse me for asking but perhaps we have conquered a town with enough population or we will use ordinary people for construction."

Miyuki shook his head and said with great pride "Flavio will be in charge of building it with the help of Tlaloc and his wife, so it may be normal to see priests and priestesses I hope you maintain order while they build the first part in their area.

Before I forget you will receive in the following day’s praetorian warriors who will recruit some troops, in future days you will know why commander, I say goodbye I have to visit the commanders in sections B and C.

Have a great day commander. "

Miyuki left the headquarters and went to his next destination, in the carriage she began to caress his stomach "My baby I hope you learn from mom, maybe in some future you will have to help your brothers or you will be the one who takes care of the Empire.

You will always have control of your destiny. "

While she was spending time talking to his baby in his belly she could see through the carriage window a small town that gave him some chills, she quickly informed the Praetorian to stop the carriage.

The Praetorian stopped and Miyuki got out of the carriage where she used his divine energy to change his clothes to his priestess costume to fight with what was in that town.

The caravan behind the goddess’s carriage also stopped and the Praetorians and some inquisitors noticed that the Empress Goddess had gotten out of the carriage and was preparing to fight so they also left the carriage ready to fight.

Miyuki approached the caravan leader who was following the goddess and asked him what he had felt, Miyuki informed him that there was a danger in the small town that was about two hundred meters away from what he was about to investigate.

"Empress let us take care of investigating if something happens to you the emperor could burst into anger."

Miyuki shook his head "I want you to surround the town and get ready to fight, what is in that place is not something you can face.

If I send us only you would die in a way that you can’t fight, you don’t have to worry about me, I’ve fought with more dangerous things and I know that what I’m facing is not something I can’t overcome.

I hope I can count on you and respect my orders, I can’t save you if you attack your own. "

The Praetorian leader nodded and gave the orders to the soldiers and inquisitors who ran to surround the town from a distance.

Miyuki got ready and walked towards the town, where the closer she got, she realized horrible things, the walls had blood on the floor were the aftermath of a battle.

A katana of divine energy appeared in Miyuki’s hands as she entered the town which she had had only noise of something being chewed.

Moving a little further, she could hear the closest sound which came from an adobe house that had the door destroyed, Miyuki sighed and walked towards the house avoiding making the greatest possible noise.

When she entered he could see thrown utensils and some remains of clay pots, she walked to the room where the noise came from and could see a monster with rodent ears that on his back had a woman’s breasts devouring small bones of what appeared to be a girl.

Miyuki knew that the monster was an Ixpuxtequi, a beast whose only function is to kill, so she prepared his katana and released his divine energy at once to have an advantage.

The beast felt danger and could move very slowly even with time stopped by Miyuki, unfortunately, he did not move with the speed he expected so one of his eagle-like hands was cut.

The Ixpuxtequi with his mandrill face gave a heartbreaking scream and threw himself at Miyuki very slowly, so Miyuki had time to cut the monster’s other hand.

Because of this he lost his balance and crashed into the adobe wall of the house making a hole in it, Miyuki wasted no time and buried his sword in the back of the Ixpuxtequi destroying the spine of the beast.

When she thought he had finished one of the wooden windows, another of those monsters entered and threw himself on Miyuki, Miyuki managed to avoid the claws of the Ixpuxtequi by suffering a small wound on his face.

Miyuki took advantage of the fact that the monster had not settled after attacking her and threw herself against the Ixpuxtequi and managed to cut half of the monster’s skull, exposing half of the beast’s brain.

It is that moment she could hear more noises coming from other houses and she realized that the town was full of them, what most surprised Miyuki was that they could move even with the divine nerve field that is supposed to stop time.

She did not want to risk his life and that of his baby in his womb so she appeared talismans and used them to create paper warriors who launched themselves against the Ixpuxtequi ...
