7. Conquest
Today was an ordinary morning for Princess Be'Nki Lund. She woke up, with the rays of sun falling on her crimson face. After a leisurely stretch, she performed her morning rituals with finesse before summoning the servant to bring in her breakfast.
Her attendants presented apt sustenance - a bound and gagged man, orange-skinned, diminutive form, stripped bare, bearing the marks of restraint and beatings. This one had a rather small size down there. Well, she was dieting, after all.
With a sadistic twist in her lips, the Iechunian princess picked up her favorite knife and was just about to partake in her 'breakfast', the man's pitiful dick and balls, when an abrupt shift transpired. Sirens of dire urgency reverberated, a cacophony of turmoil, sundering the tranquility.
Explosions resounded, and soon after, the palace fell...
Fortunately, all the members of the royal family survived without much injuries. But they were enraged, who dares such insolence! Don't they know their feared moniker across the galaxy?
Someone was courting death!
However, they couldn't just underestimate the enemy who managed to demolish their palace in mere minutes.
Her father, King Ch'Ota Lund, immediately summoned all troops from across the continent, the security of the capital was of top priority. Their advanced ships reached the capital in no time to teach the ones courting their death why the Rak-Iechunians are called the Devils!
The soldiers were somewhat nervous but mostly determined, it was their first time getting invaded, instead of invading and ravaging other planets. But the enemy couldn't possibly win against their ships, right? There was no way they could be that strong, right?
In due course, envoys from a foreign cosmos descended upon their planet's soil. Among them, was a colossus wielding a formidable chain hammer, while the other was just a thin and wrinkled old fart.
King Ch'Ota Lund ordered Princess Be'Nki Lund to negotiate the terms with the enemy and offer them a chance to surrender before the war begins, their torture shall be reduced if they agreed without resistance.
And that's why she, along with the royal knights of the grand royal palace approached Jerry and Cull.
But just after opening her mouth, she offended Jerry.
Not taking kindly to the audacity of the bitch, who called him foul and ugly, despite being not much better than him, Jerry struggled to maintain his calm demeanor. However, releasing a sigh, he controlled his emotion and intertwined his fingers together.
The bald, red-skinned princess donned a disdainful expression and continued, "Your ugly face explains your cowardly act of destroying our beautiful palace without any warnings, you foul noseless creature. Surrender your forces and beg for forgiveness and the amount of--"
Okay, that does it. Jerry was no longer in the mood to listen to her blabberings anymore nor continue his leftover speech. He ordered Cull to kill the guards and drag her to his feet, alive.
"Grosshwa RRwwashk" Cull hit his hammer on the ground, he accepted Jerry's order and picked up his pace.
The princess' guards readied themselves for the attack and stood in front of her with their plasma guns in their hands. However, just a single sweep from Cull's hammer was all it took to separate their torso from their legs. Their blood and organs painted the muddy ground blue.
'The gore... Ugh, and here I thought that MCU wasn't R rated.'
Was this universe MCU though?
Jerry had a nauseating feeling seeing Gore in real, but he somehow managed to get it in control. He was even surprised how he didn't just throw up seeing all those organs spilled out on the ground. But he blamed seeing this already in Maw's memories for that, and all those years of gore movies too.
"WHa- HOw!!! No, way!" The princess cried, looking at her guards who got killed so easily. "They were all newly appointed, I hadn't even tasted one of them, YOU GIANT FREAK!!!!!!!!!!"
'Seriously? That's her concern?' Jerry snorted.
"Leave me! Get your filthy hands off me!!!" She kept yelling as Cull grabbed her neck from behind and dragged her towards Jerry.
Seeing their princess getting attacked, the armada of troops behind her couldn't stand still and they charged forward. A million ships and a billion Iechunian warriors marched forward with impressive speed.
It was now time to demolish their terra forces, Jerry thought.
"Send them," Jerry ordered through his earpiece.
At his command, the legion of Chitauris, on their chariots, left their motherships or along with the ginormous Leviathans. The agile Necro-Ships also left the ports of Sanctuary to lay waste to the capital.
The hundreds of Q-Ships, from the upper atmosphere, deployed the dropships and bunkers bearing the Outriders and Chitauri Gorillas respectively.
The dropships and bunkers were dropped directly above the charging Iechunian army. Causing calculated chaos. Each vessel struck the charging Iechunian army with explosive force, obliterating significant segments of their ranks upon impact.
And all this destruction was within mere minutes. However, most of the Iechunian ships didn't suffer any damage from that as they were quick to dodge.
Besides, those ships were built durable, it was thanks to a rare metal that was found on this planet. Iechunian ships' battle style was just tanking the onslaught and slamming their ships on the enemy ships, a type of physical wrestling style. Which was rare across the galaxy, and could offer up a good surprise to the unsuspecting.
They could put up a good fight, sure. But due to their lack of knowledge, there were several open weak points on the Iechunian ships. Clearly, only those who knew it perfectly could exploit those weaknesses.
"Huh?" Jerry tilted his head, "I don't see your haughtiness anymore."
The poor princess glared at him with teary eyes, she felt assaulted by just his gaze. At least the guy who was holding her neck was bearable, she would've enjoyed slicing up those big muscles and relished his agonized screams.
'Is she thinking something of degenerate? In this situation?' Jerry couldn't help her roll his eyes after looking at her face.
With a small telekinetic push, he made her pass out. She was going be a prisoner, for now, and would be executed later, publically.
"Let's bring this continent's Ruler to Sire's feet as well. We shouldn't waste any more of his precious time." Saying so, Jerry levitated above the ground.
A few dropships had landed behind Jerry and Cull a while ago. On Jerry's command millions of Outriders came rushing out of them.
With millions of Chitauri soldiers, millions of Outriders, and thousands of Leviathans floating behind him, Jerry along with Cull, moved toward the approaching Iechunian army.
Soon both armies collided with each other, deafening battle cries were heard and soon, the battle became chaotic. However, the Iechunian army was outnumbered and outclassed in all aspects.
The ferocious Outriders were mindless and unpredictable, their sharp claws and teeth would cleave and rip the Iechunians apart in a matter of seconds.
Aware of the Iechunian's ships' weaknesses, the Charioters were demolishing their air and land forces simultaneously.
The plasma guns by the ground troops, when aimed at fatal spots, would disintegrate Iechunian's flesh along with their feeble armor. The metal used in the ships was still rare after all.
Besides, the Iechunian terrestrial army, until yesterday, only had the purpose to abduct and torture the races of weaker civilizations, so, they didn't even have a use for tough armor. Against real a real army, they found themselves hopeless and helpless.
Jerry and Cull casually paved their path forward in the direction of the king, the furthest back of the army.
Cull would just swing his Hammer to kill the approaching troops and Jerry was using telekinesis to manipulate pointed rocks and pierce the heads and hearts of any soldiers that dared neared him.
The Morale of the Iechunian army was already down in the dumps, and when they witnessed their fellows falling so easily, they felt real dread and the fear of being invaded.
Only now they understood what it felt like on the receiving end of getting incinerated at the whims of the enemy. Only now, they realized that there was indeed a bigger fish.
And hence, they chose to save their own life and escape the losing battle. Though most of them were intercepted by the tanks, Chariots, and Necro-Ships.
The few that even managed to leave the atmosphere were met with thousands of Q ships, waiting for them.
"Impossible! How could they reach here so soon?" A commander of a brigade exclaimed, stunned by the duo's arrival.
However, he didn't falter, he hollered to his subordinate, "We need to hold them off till His Majesty escapes! Chaaaarge!!!!!!"
'Hold us off?' Jerry grinned, 'Give your worse.'
The whole concentrated brigade of troops charged at the duo.
'And I'll give you mine...'
Jerry levitated above the ground and toppled small patches of the ground under their feet. Groans and screams of soldiers were heard as they fell, losing their balance. The soldiers, however, didn't get the chance to recover as small pointed chunks of bricks and boulders pierced their foreheads.
But it appears that the soldiers at least succeeded in distracting them for a few seconds; a ship flew past them at break-neck speed. While several other ships rained fire upon them.
"Cull." Jerry left the job of stopping the first, escaping ship to him.
The Giant threw his chain hammer towards it, which destroyed its left wing and the ship crashed on the ground. Meanwhile, Jerry used the debris and dead soldiers' bodies as shields for him and Cull, while simultaneously lifting chunks of ground and demolishing ship after ship.
The first ship that crashed, had the King and his family inside it, and Jerry took them as prisoners.
It appears Thanos, didn't deem it necessary to join the battle. Though, he'd appear later to separate the king's head himself.
The campaign orchestrated under Jerry's command unfurled with remarkable seamlessness.
However, on the Gamora-Nebula duo's side, things went a bit downhill at the last moment. Due to a certain blue-skinned young master.
