Evylia 03 Readers may refer to Evylia01 & Evylia02 for the earlier part and Evylia for the introduction. The flow has been modifed to make the story more interesting. Part V The Vaginas' territory was bounded by sea on three sides and most of the interior land was under the newly-renamed Clit River valley. This expanse of land was very fertile and was irrigated by a large network of rivers connected to the Clit. Their land was bounded by the Vetar kingdom along the northern coastal area and along the southern coast the Vaginas shared a direct border with their arch-rivals, the Testes. Between the Vetar and Testes, was a vast expanse of dense forests and hilly terrain, Greenia, which was mostly occupied by small villages some which owed allegiance to different groups and the Ambian Plains. The Plains, where the Clit originated, were towards the south of Greenia and were bounded by Vaginas on one side and Testes on the other two sides. This region had witnessed many pitched battles between the two groups and had emerged as the de-facto battleground over the years. It was occupied by some scattered agricultural settlements and their allegiance was split across the more powerful female and male groups. The period from the year 700 (i.e. 150 years back) onwards witnessed many conflicts involving the Vaginas. Most of the tribes refused to come to terms with the growing might of the Vaginas. The Vaginas had by now grown into a 25,000 strong group and included over fourteen thousand women. They had established a grand hill-top fortress-palace near the mouth of the Clit, overlooking the Central Sea which served as their headquarters. In the midst of this, 20-year old Sheila assumed charge of the Vaginas in the year 730, from her mother Queen Ria. The 5'10" blonde was already a veteran of many conflicts and was well known for her physique and fighting prowess. She had humbled many rival tribesmen in ‘Honor fights'. These immensely popular fights were essentially one-on-one in nature and pitted fighters of warring tribes against each other. Huge crowds always adorned these fights and as Sheila's success grew, she soon emerged as the most popular and successful ‘Honor fighter' of her times. Sheila's best known battle had pitted her, in just her tenth match, against an undefeated veteran of thirty four matches and an expert wrestler, Mik. The 6'2" 190 pound wrestler towered over his 140 pound female adversary. The only thing common to both was they were undefeated as yet, in ‘Honor fights'. So, in fact, they both had a reputation to live up to. The forty-long battle resulted in a stunning yet comprehensive victory for Sheila, which she proclaimed in her own characteristic way – by planting one foot on Mik's chest and the other on his now-flaccid penis! Following this defining battle, she acquired a demigod figure even across male-dominated neighboring villages and her battles soon became folklore. Sheila also assumed the role of the commander-in-chief of the Vagina army which had evolved into a potent and well-structured force of over 12,000 personnel, including around 3,000 males. Sheila, the commander-in-chief, was assisted by the War Council constituted by her, and consisting of six of her strongest warrior women. Each of them was accorded the rank of Captain. Each Captain headed a two thousand-strong force and was assigned a specific geographic area to defend. Sheila also established the War Center, which was tasked with the mechanization of the military. This was the first such initiative in the world and the Vaginas continue to reap dividends of their early start in what was to become the most essential contributor to a group's military might. The War Center was run by over a hundred women who, over the years developed the first automated weapons in Evylia. Apart from the battlefield gains, the Vaginas also progressed rapidly in the areas of trade and general administration. And, although the women took up the lead roles, the participation of men was encouraged in these areas so as to make up for the shortage of people as the women were mostly in the military. The Vaginas had a well-structured administrative wing and it pioneered the concept of community-based governance. With the establishment of trade relations among the nations, commerce and trade took off like never before. Initially, the Vaginas were at a disadvantage though as they often had to trade with men. However, by virtue of their military might and their influential business houses, the Vaginas soon emerged as a strong economic force. These enterprises, headed by Vagina's very first businesswomen soon grew in size and joined the ranks of the largest commercial entities of the world and laid the foundation for the Vagina economy. Among their largest trade partners was their friendly neighbor, Vetar. Vetar was a large nation-state and was ruled by a young king, Mark. They were a peace-loving nation with vast boundaries and resources. The skilful Vaginas and the peaceful Vetars forged a long-standing economic alliance. This was mostly due to the fact that the Vetar society, though patriarchal, accorded equal status to women. They were thus well represented across all segments. In population terms, the Vetars had 27,000 men and over 23,000 women. Militarily, the Vetar army was 15,000-strong and was the largest army on Evylia. It also included close to three thousand female soldiers. The Vetar industry though was quite similar to the Vaginas' as here too, women took the lead and headed most of the larger trade and industrial houses and dominated the scene with men largely working under them. The Vaginas and the Vetar kingdom formally firmed their alliance with a still-standing friendship treaty signed in the year 740. As part of the pact and as a symbol of the Vaginas' trust in the Vetars, 25-year old Aria, Sheila's sister was married off to the 28-year old Mark. This was doubly significant as it was the first time that a Vagina woman had actually married (and not just raped!) another tribesman and also left her tribe to join that of her mate's. Part VI Aria's prowess and fighting capabilities were second only to her sister's among the Vaginas. She was a fierce warrior and was well respected as a military commander. She had led the Vaginas in many victorious campaigns, the most significant of which was the third Inter-gender war with the Testes' in 736. Testes were a very old state and had a population of 45,000 people. The Testes army was a formidable one and had over 14,000 men in its ranks. The Vagina-Testes rivalry was historic in nature as the latter were among the first to oppose the very formation of the Vaginas. The issue was further compounded by the fact that the two factions had grown to develop diverse and often conflicting belief systems. The Testes believed in male supremacy and discounted the Vaginas as a small and insignificant group. Also, the Vaginas' forays into newer areas and their subjugation of other villages rubbed the men the wrong way. And as the Vaginas gained in prominence, the rivalry became bitterer, as the Testes continued to refuse to acknowledge the rising might and the right to exist of their female neighbors. The 12,000-strong Testes army, supplemented by a 6,000-strong force constituted by men drawn from various allied tribes, met the 10,000-strong Vagina force, led by Aria, in the Ambian Plains. The Vagina force included a contingent of 2,000 Vetar soldiers dispatched by King Mark in their aid due to the heavy imbalance in the numbers. The 12,000-strong contingent had 3,000 males, including 1,000 lent by Vetar. This was the largest-ever showdown between the historic rivals. Sheila had deputed Aria to the task despite the fact that the latter had never led an army this big. However, she had immense belief in Aria's abilities and trusted her sister to live up to the task. She had been impressed by Aria's warrior instinct and prowess and had also insisted that she train at the War Center for 2 years to understand war and master war strategies. The earlier two battles, fought in the years 699 and 720 had ended with neither side being able to dominate. This could be partly attributed to the sheer numerical strength of the males. Aria knew this well and was determined to set the record straight once and forever! Aria instructed her deputies to scout the entire terrain so she could update her battle plan accordingly. Aria didn't believe an outright victory was possible going by the numbers and past history. She decided to play strategically; initially dealing small yet significant blows and thus paving the way for a certain and decisive victory. Decisive, it had to be! The males were led by the mighty Prince Val. A veteran of many Testes campaigns, the male commander was confident of teaching the uppity females a lesson on male superiority. He had rightly gauged that the females would play a steady drawing game and thus decided to set the pace of the battle and deal some deadly blows at the start itself. This he decided would catch the women by surprise and they would falter irrecoverably. On the day of the battle, both commanders were happy as they had gauged the others moves correctly. They were looking forward to see if their own plans materialize. The battle commenced with a blistering male cavalry attack on the forward positions of the Vaginas. The warrior women, prepared for such an attack, bravely held on to their positions all through the first day and by evening, managed to force the men back. The second day saw the men employing the same strategy to pummel the forward divisions of the women. However, Aria had bolstered her positions by placing large squads of archers to cover her women. Thus, the men had no option but to beat another, albeit hasty, retreat at the end of the second day. The women had held ground for two full days against a raging male army. The successive setbacks forced Prince Val, the leader of the Testes army to re-think his strategy. He had lost well over two hundred men in just the two days and had gained nothing to show for it. He decided to employ his archers and rest the cavalry for the third day. The women decided to stick to their strategy of drawing out the men. Aria fortified her positions and pulled back the fifty injured women. She had lost over fifty women and was expecting the eventual all-out male attack to happen soon. The third day saw a more equal confrontation between the two sides as the male and female archers engaged in a pitched battle. The male soldiers also engaged their female opponents on other fronts and the battle raged on. The better skilled and weathered female warriors, over the first three days of the battle proved to be more than a match to their male challengers. From the fourth day onwards, the tide of the battle significantly turned in favor of the Vaginas. Val realized that the women, despite the numerical disadvantage had not only held their own, but were, in fact, gaining the upper hand. His archers were no match for the better trained and skilled women soldiers of the Vaginas. Val, disappointed by the lack of success of his fierce cavalrymen, decided to lead the day's fifth and final assault himself. He charged up the hundred-odd men and led them across the field to the Vagina forward lines. Aria too had had a busy day as she had decided to target specific male forward units. Soon after noon, she cut down six Testes men and ran straight at one of the male deputy commanders. While still on the chase, she caught sight of Val leading his men at the Vagina forward lines and decided to let the panicked deputy escape. With a slight smile on her lips, she decided to confront Val himself. As the two leaders neared each other, they knew they had a fight on their hands. The soldiers gave way to their commanders in quiet anticipation. Val unsheathed his sword and alighted from his horse to take on Aria, who had already drawn hers and was sizing up her opponent. The 6" 2' blonde was dressed in a short military skirt and wore a tight halter top to cover her glorious breasts. She was determined to show the 6" well-built Val, his place in the sexual pecking order. Both had a reputation for strength, force and skill and were determined to outdo the other in this all-out battle. "Cunt... finally we meet", Val hissed with a smirk, as he circled Aria, studying the beautiful female warrior. "It will be my pleasure to slash your balls off and show you your place, you worthless male", Aria countered, as she launched her assault on the prince. Val responded by blocking her attack and trying to punch her face with his left fist. Aria shoved him back and gracefully leaned backwards to avoid the punch. She regained her balance, turned, and launched a scathing kick at Val, who was trying to move forward to get her. The kick caught the male on his chin and he fell sideways. This infuriated the male and he quickly got up to face his female adversary again. Aria was ready and attacked him with her sword. The dazed male managed to fend off her lusty blows with some effort. The swordfight went on for over twenty minutes with neither gaining an upper hand. Aria was confident of her skills with the sword and was content with her soft attempts at getting through his defenses. She had met with measured success as some of her blows penetrated his defense and injured the male. Aria's blows on his chest and arms were frustrating Val as they began to hurt. Meanwhile, his attempts at getting at her torso had been a failure. He had managed to slash at her right arm on one occasion though and this had remained his first and only success. The increasing pain, accentuated by the noon Sun, began to wear out the male warrior. His attempts at attacking Aria became weaker and rarer as he was having a tough time fending her advances. The two armies watched their respective warriors involved in an intense battle. Aria was a sight to behold as her well-toned body shone under the bright sun and her breasts seemed to defy gravity as they poked at her armor. Forty minutes into the battle, Aria realized that she now clearly had the upper hand in the battle of the sexes and swung her sword with all her might and lashed out to Val's left. The male took some time in blocking the blow and paid for it by getting his sword knocked out of his hand. He grimaced as he felt the sword leave his hand and fly a good distance before he heard the sound of it hitting the ground. It was all over. Aria had won. And she had won so comfortably that Val was first amazed at her skill and prowess and then ashamed at the fact that he was no match for the tigress. Tears of frustration and shame began to form in his eyes as he realized that he lad lost both his battle and the males' war! The soldiers in the vicinity had watched with bated breath as the battle had raged on and the women let out a fierce cry as Aria shook the sword out of Val's hands. Aria had a smile on her face as Val dejectedly looked first into her confident eyes and then, ashamed of the outcome of the fight, at her lovely feet. Aria was thrilled at the easy and seemingly effortless victory. She knew that he had lost the fight in him as she noticed the tears rolling down his cheek. So much for male pride, she mused. She placed her sword under Val's chin and forced his face up. But the male warrior's once proud gaze continued to remain riveted at the victorious female's feet. A wave of humiliation surged through the beaten male, as he felt Aria's steady gaze all over him. "Is this all the male prince has to offer? It was hardly a fight, your highness! Don't you know how to please a woman, you prick?" Aria mocked. She let out a chuckle as she forced Val's face up with her and slapped him and as he fell to the ground, proceeded to kick him the stomach. "Get up you prick!" she commanded. Val got up, sobbing, and stood on front of Aria, continuing to gaze downwards. As soon as Aria overpowered Val, the fifty-odd male soldiers who had gathered around, scrambled to their camp. Other male soldiers soon heard of their leader's defeat and silently retreated to their camp. The Vagina soldiers were proud of their tigress princess and the men in the camp acknowledged the superb fighter and they together bowed to the warrior woman. Aria led a naked Val to her camp. She had won him and he now belonged to her. She would put the well-hung male to good use she mused and smiled to herself. She stripped down to her bra and panties and overcome with desire, tore off Val's clothing. The beaten male meekly surrendered to the stronger female as she proceeded to ravage her prize in the privacy of her tent. The hapless male cried out in agony as Aria refused to be denied her right and easily put down any resistance the male offered. Her pussy devoured Val's penis and her breasts smothered his face. The male prince Val was beaten and conquered on a day which proved momentous for the rival armies. Having lost their commander-in-chief, the males had lost all will to engage their female counterparts and had confined themselves to their campsites. Ark, the second in command and Val's cousin was terrified of facing Aria and her army. He also gave up any hope of rescuing Val after he got to know the details of the sexual encounter that had occurred last night. He chose to withdraw from the battle unconditionally and the males were seen walking away from a battle they had themselves initiated. Aria led her glorious army back to her queen, Sheila. She had lost a hundred fighters in all, including 50 men while the Testes' casualties numbered well over 500, many of whom had been massacred in the aftermath of the Aria-Val face-off! The victory had been a stunningly convincing one for the women! Despite the fact that the men had been humiliated in a direct battle, the Testes continued to rant against the female nation. But they confined their attacks to distant outposts of the female empire, afraid to take on the mighty females head-on! To be continued...
