Homians 5 Lida defeats the male champion and the Amazon girls massacre the Midian army. By Hardie. hardiewh@aol.com This story contains explicit sexual material and should be read by adults only. ...................... After slaughtering the powerful Homian army, the Amazon girls were in the process of returning home. Their naked male captives were formed up in order of march, and the column was about to leave the canyon when an Amazon messenger, exhausted after a punishing journey to find the female army, delivered bad news to her Queen. The Midians, seizing their opportunity while the main Amazon army was dealing with the Homians, were marching on Amazonia from the south. Quickly, the Queen made up her mind. "Lida," she ordered, "take the bulk of our warriors and head for home as fast as you can. Join forces with our Home Guard units and defend our lands. Show no mercy. Kill these men who attack us and seek to enslave my women. Teach all men that it is unwise to invade the lands of the girl warriors." Leaving her mother with a small body of Amazons to bring in the prisoners, Princess Lida and her young, women soldiers headed for Amazonia and a meeting with the might of the Midians. ............................. Princess Lida and her council considered the offer. It was true what the King of the Midians said. The Amazon army occupied the high ground overlooking the narrow pass into their mountain kingdom, but the Midians outnumbered the girl warriors by almost three to one. It was highly likely that the male army would force the pass eventually, but their losses would be considerable. It was to avoid this slaughter that King Urbis offered a single combat solution. Each side would choose a champion who would fight to the death. If the Amazon won, then the Midians would surrender to the women, who would do with them as they pleased. If the Midian won, the Amazon lands would be forfeit, and the people become subjects of King Urbis. Neither King Urbis, nor Princess Lida even considered that the terms of the deal would not be honoured, such was the strength of the Code of Warriors at the time. "Is it agreed that we accept the challenge?" asked Lida. The others nodded their agreement. She turned to her aide. "Ride to Urbis and inform him of our decision. Tell him our conditions. These are:- The match shall be unarmed combat. Both armies will maintain their present positions until the outcome is decided. The contestants will commence battle at noon. I will be fighting for the Amazon nation!" She waved aside the protests of the council members. "We will meet on the small plain by the pillar of rock at the entrance to the pass. We will fight naked! That way," she explained to her council, "everyone can see that it is male against female, man against woman. And besides," she smiled, "I can grab his balls more easily if he's naked!" The girls laughed. "Now go!" she instructed her aide, "and let Urbis choose his champion, and my victim." ........... Lida waited calmly in the midday sun. From the ranks of the Midian army a figure appeared and began to advance towards her. The man was naked, as was Lida. Even though he was still about fifty metres away she could see he was massive. He stopped halfway across the plain, and pulled himself up to his full height of two metres. Planting his feet apart, he raised his arms to shoulder height then bent them at the elbow, slowly moving his clenched fists in towards his head. Lida heard the muffled gasps from her female warriors who were perched on the rocks above the pass. The man was formidable! His pose showed corded muscles flowing from his neck to shoulders the width of half a spear. His biceps stood up like the humps on the backs of the desert people's beasts. His drum-like chest tapered into a narrow waist, his stomach defined by pads of muscle. Thighs with the girth of a small tree were supported by bulging calves, and his cock hung down between his legs like a miniature trunk. "What slip of a girl dares to challenge Eras, champion of Midia, champion of all Greece?" he bellowed. "Come and fight me, girl, and I will kill you quickly to show I am a merciful man!" Lida appraised the massive male who posed before her, calmly assessing the situation. When fighting male armies, the Amazon girls always used the fact that they had much more stamina than men, especially as the men seemed to wear lots of protective clothing, whereas the girls always fought as lightly clad as possible, some of them wearing only the belts which held their weapons. The Amazon tactics were to retreat quickly, lulling the male warriors into thinking they were winning and draining their stamina at the same time. Then, once they'd sucked the unsuspecting males into their killing ground, the disciplined women turned and fought their wilting opponents until they were totally defeated. And the girls knew that, in a test of stamina it was always the most muscular of the men who were the first to tire. They could generally run much faster than their more slender brothers, but totally lacked the stamina to keep up the pace for any length of time. The slim, wiry males always lasted much longer than their well- built comrades. The only reason the army of Urbis was in such a strong position at the moment was because the Amazons had had to deal with another male army to the north, the Homians, allowing Urbis to march unhindered to the very borders of the Amazon lands. `Well,' thought Lida, `I'm small and slender, Mr. Champion. Let's see who has the most stamina.' "I'll fight you, Eras," she yelled back. "Come and get me if you can. You look more like a big, fat, slug than a champion!" "Slug! SLUG!" roared the offended man. "Now you've made me angry!" He yelled the Midian battle cry and charged across the plain. Lida darted towards the pillar of rock which marked the entrance to the pass. The rock was eighty metres, or so, high, and 400m wide, and the paths which wound their way up to the lookout post on the top were quite steep. The male army cheered derisively as they watched Eras chase the slender princess across the plain. He was only a few yards behind when Lida began to scamper up one of the paths, her hair flowing as she hardly slackened pace. Eras followed, his mighty legs covering ground in great bites of movement, so that it looked to the watching armies that he must soon overtake the fleeing princess. Then, as the path got steeper, Eras began to slow. Lida could hear him panting behind her and knew he was beginning to show some distress. She slowed down to allow him to maintain the distance between them, making herself the carrot in front of the male donkey. Soon they reached the top, and Lida flew down the other side. Eras charged after her, getting some second wind now that the climbing was over. Then, just as he was within a couple of metres of catching her, the girl turned uphill again. For fifteen minutes, Lida led her opponent round the paths of the lookout rock, then, judging that the time was ripe, she ran twenty metres out onto the plain, and stopped. Eras stumbled after her on shaking legs, his massive chest heaving as he tried to gulp air into his bellows-like lungs. But his huge muscles soaked up the oxygen as soon as it entered his body, forcing him to gasp for more and more air. Thankfully, he realised that the girl had stopped and turned to face him, legs astride, hands on hips, firm breasts thrusting proudly upwards from her sun tanned body. Now Lida was going to fight the male champion. She had succeeded in leading him towards a state of exhaustion. Now she had to keep him moving, drawing his strength from his mighty body, avoiding punishment herself while inflicting as much damage as she could on the massive male she had to defeat. "Now, I've got you!" Eras gasped triumphantly, reaching for the slim figure of the girl. "No!" said Lida calmly, as she easily evaded his ponderous attack. "I've got YOU!" Her foot lashed into the giant's kidney as he lurched past her weaving body, causing him to grunt with pain. She drove her heel into his shinbone as he turned towards her, and swung a knuckled fist into his face as he automatically reached towards the injured leg. Eras, enraged by the audacity of the fragile female who was attacking him, ignored the pain and swung at her with a wild round arm blow which, if it had landed, would have finished the girl immediately. Lida ducked under his clubbed fist and flung herself forward and upward, driving her extended fingers into her huge opponent's throat. Eras gagged, as his adam's apple was driven against his windpipe, cutting off his air supply even more. He clutched his injured neck, and, for one moment was standing still, legs apart, hands high, in the most vulnerable position a man can be. Lida seized her opportunity, calmly measured the distance, then smashed her foot into the male champion's dangling balls. To screams and cheers from the girl army, and dead silence from the men, Eras let out a strangled gasp of agony, clutched his blazing balls, doubled over and sank to his knees. The gigantic male warrior was down. The slender young girl had dropped him with the most effective blow at her disposal, a kick to his balls. The noise from the Amazons rose to a crescendo of frenzied screams of excitement as Lida leapt high in the air and drove both feet into the side of the man's head, sending his mighty body toppling to the ground where he lay face down. The Amazon girl threw herself of top of her prostrate victim, slid one arm under his bull like neck and locked her other arm across the back of it in a classic strangle hold. But she'd gone in for the kill too soon, totally underestimating the enormous power in her male opponent's huge, muscular body. Eras was hurt, he was panting for breath but he still had enough brute strength to deal with the threat of the girl on his broad back. Summoning all his power, the man corded his neck muscles to counter the pressure from the girl's forearms, then, using his own mighty arms and bulging thighs, pushed himself erect. Lida took several seconds to realise what was happening, and hung on too long. With a bellow of rage, Eras pulled her arms from around his neck, spun round and threw the girl from him. As the male warriors roared their approval, and the Amazon girls shrieked in alarm, the princess flew through the air and crashed to the ground in a tangle of arms and legs. Somehow Lida managed to keep her brain working, and took most of the fall on her right shoulder, rolling with the momentum, minimising the force of the landing and looking to get on her feet as quickly as possible, despite being momentarily winded when part of her back hit the ground. Fortunately for her, Eras was in no position to follow up his attack with any degree of speed. He was gasping for breath, clutching his balls to ease the agony, dismayed at the damage the slip of a girl had inflicted on his almost impregnable male body. Now he lumbered towards her, determined to end this battle against a tiny, slender, young girl with the only outcome which was logically possible - victory for the mighty male. Lida made it to her feet and retreated, using every second of respite to regain her composure and recharge her lungs. She had to accept that Eras was recovering his strength as well, but the man had a lot more leeway to make up. She attacked, and took the massive male completely by surprise. One minute she was backing away from him, showing every sign of fear, as a girl should when confronted by a gigantic male warrior, the next she danced forward and drove her fist into his mouth. She hit him again as he shook his head in bewilderment. Gracefully avoiding the ponderous swings from the man's muscle laden arms, Lida waded into her huge opponent. Her small fists struck with the speed of a striking cobra, battering his corded stomach or flicking spitefully into his reddening face. "Come on, slug," she taunted. "Feel the kiss of a girl's fist!" She hit him again, and again, as his attempts to ward off her flashing punches were far too slow. The girl's blows were beginning to hurt, and the man couldn't stand up to the furious onslaught of the female fighter. To the dismay of the Midians and the delight of the cheering women the huge, muscular male retreated from the lithe young Amazon. The chit of a girl was driving the mighty champion of men backwards. Lida stalked him with the ruthless grace of a cat after her prey. She feinted a fist at his face, then drove her foot into the man's unprotected gut with sickening force. She feinted again, then caught him once more with a devastating kick. Now Lida used her fists to smash punches into Urbis's stomach until she doubled him over. Then she smashed the side of her hand into the man's exposed neck, sending him stumbling sideways. The girl straightened him up with a kick which exploded under the faltering male's jaw, then danced nimbly inside his leaden arms and once more sank her fist into his once impregnable stomach. Muscles which, at the start of the fight, had jutted proudly from the man's mighty body, now caved in like soft putty as the girl's fists smashed them to a pulp. "This is too easy," taunted Lida as she once more bored a fist through the desperate male's almost non- existent defence. "I should have sent my twelve year-old sister to fight you. You're too useless to fight a girl warrior." Furiously Eras swung his huge fist at the taunting girl. Lida, however, was far too agile to be caught. With the grace of a trained dancer, she swayed inside the blow, and, with one fluid movement, caught the man's wrist in both hands, swivelled her body under her male opponent's barrel chest, pivoted her shapely buttocks into his groin and pulled downwards. Eras's huge frame flew over the girl's back, propelled by its own momentum, and crashed into the ground with a force which could be heard by both armies. To the excited screams of the Amazons, the agile girl leapt into the air, hair flying, arms aloft, and drove down with both heels into the giant male's once powerful stomach. Air swooshed from the man's battered body as the full weight of the girl, concentrated into the tiny area of her heels, blasted through his mangled muscles and pumped his lungs like a blow from a bellows. As the mighty male champion lay gasping for air, bewildered and disorientated, the savage young girl set about his disablement and total destruction. Firstly, quick as a cat, she stooped and drove her fingers into her opponents eyes, causing him to bellow with rage and pain. Then, as his hands went to the defence of his streaming eyes, the girl stomped with all her might into his unprotected groin. Eras rolled onto his side, clutching his groin, half blind, curling into a ball. Lida was a bit nonplussed. She stomped her victim's back a couple of times, but realised she wasn't causing much damage. And, more importantly, unless she got him moving again, the man was being given time to recover both his stamina and his composure. She had to make him fight, to use up his energy. The girl grabbed his foot and twisted. Eram kicked out to try to shake her off as the Amazon held his ankle with one hand and twisted his foot with the other, but his effort was quite feeble. "I'm going to break your leg, slug," she taunted, as he once more tried to kick free from her grasp. By this time Eras was spread-eagled on his back, his thigh muscles bulging with effort as he tried to pull his tormentress towards him so that he could get some purchase into his kicks. Lida, knowing she couldn't hold on for too long, rode another desperate kick, then simply heaved upwards as he kicked out once more, stepped inside his extended leg and kicked out at his exposed balls. More by luck than judgement, Eras's other leg jerked across just as the girl was balanced on one shapely limb to deliver her kick, and the force was enough to send her staggering off balance. One more kick jerked the man's leg from the girl's grasp and sent her sprawling on the ground. Eras clambered slowly to his feet, and the young Amazon girl let him do it as she also stood up. She wanted to finish him, and she wanted an upright target to carry on the process of his destruction. Both armies watched breathlessly as the contestants face each other again. Each was the perfect representative of their respective gender. Eras, the mighty, muscular male warrior, strong, powerful, aggressive, still expecting to win, despite his injuries. And Lida, the svelte, nubile girl, her curvaceous body full of grace and deceptive speed and possessed of a cool, fighting mind. It was male power and strength against female speed and grace, and it was the female who struck first. Blinking through the sea of tears in his injured eyes, Eras faced the blurred figure of the girl who was hurting him so much. His massive fists were clenched and ready in a classic boxer's stance as his body tried to take in as much oxygen as possible to fuel his powerful frame. His trunk-like legs felt weak from his exertions and he felt pockets of pain in his leg, stomach and groin where the girl had hurt him. His arms felt like lead weights and he was close to despair. Yet he clung to the notion that if he could land one mighty blow he could still win. If only he could get his wind and sight back. He was given no respite. Lida darted into the attack, the muscles lying concealed beneath her smooth, tanned body, rippling into action as she began to smash her male opponent to ignominious defeat. Eras never saw the punches that flew through his guard and smacked into his damaged eyes. He swung valiantly at the ducking, weaving shape in front of him, but he could not connect with the girl's lithe, elusive body. And each missed blow sucked more endurance from the man's mighty frame. As the girl's coolly delivered attack closed Eras's eyes even more, the man became desperate. Abandoning any attempt at defence, the male champion charged the frail shape of the girl who was causing his distress. It was unthinkable that he could lose to her. She had to be destroyed by the male, the superior warrior. Lida had no time to think. The hours she had spent practising unarmed combat as she grew up in the Amazon warrior school paid off. With lightning speed, the girl grabbed the man's wrists as she rolled backwards under his attack, shot her feet into his stomach as she pulled him downwards, then kicked both legs with all her might. Eras's huge frame flew over the girl's supine body, limbs flying, to crash to the ground with an almighty thud. With one fluid, feline movement, Lida was on her feet. She stomped her foot into the man's nose as he lay winded and bewildered, feeling the cartilage smash under her heel as blood spurted from the smashed organ. She kicked the side of his head as he rolled away from her, following him as he scrabbled at the ground, driving her foot into any part of his body which he exposed to her attack, until he lay on his side, winded from the pounding the girl had inflicted on him. Lida was elated. She wanted to disable his massive arms and hoped to be able to twist one of them up behind his back until something dislocated. She knelt by his heaving body, reached for the hands that were covering his face and seizing one finger, prised it upwards and began to bend it back. Eras was forced to release his arm to the girl's attack or have his finger broken, but, instead of doing so reluctantly, as Lida expected, he threw his arm towards her. Like a massive oar, the man's powerful arm swept the surprised girl aside, sending her tumbling away from his injured frame. Lida was dazed by the male champion's blow and took a moment to clear her head. She could hear the roars of encouragement coming from the male army and could see Eras staggering to his feet. She rested a moment longer, making sure of her recovery, then rolled backwards into a standing position. Eras lumbered forwards once more, trying to brush the tears from his injured eyes, trying to focus through the swellings induced by the girl's fists. All he wanted to do was to get hold of her lithe young body and tear it apart. Then she was on him! Tiny female fists spat into the champion's face as he tried to close the girl down. "You're too slow, slug," mocked the girl. "These great balls of yours are slowing you down." Cheekily she reached between the man's muscular thighs and squeezed his dangling testicles, dancing away before he could respond. "First, I'm going to finish off your eyes," the girl continued, smashing a punch into her target. "Then I'm going to tease your cock." She clipped him in the groin with effortless ease. "Then I'm going to smash your arms, like this." She speared her fists into the man's bulging biceps. "Then I'm going to finish you off. Eras, the champion of all Greece. You're going to be beaten to a pulp by a little girl!" She tore into him. And there was nothing the massive male fighter could do to stop the girl from destroying him. Whenever Eras tried to protect his eyes from the girl's attack, she punched him in the balls, switching her attack to his eyes again as his guard came down. Then she attacked his biceps. Punch after punch poured into the man's powerfully muscled upper arms, the tiny fists of the persistent young girl boring into the flesh, gradually killing the nerves, until the huge man's arms dangled uselessly by his side. The Amazons were beside themselves, hugging each other with delight as they witnessed the mightiest of men reduced to a hopeless hulk by the svelte young girl who was their princess. The man stood there helplessly, head hanging, swaying with fatigue, sobbing with pain and despair as Lida strutted around him, arms raised in victory as the Amazons screamed their rapture and cheered their champion. >>From somewhere deep down Eras summoned his last vestige of strength and made one final effort. He could not believe that the beautiful young girl who had faced him at the start of the fight had so convincingly smashed him to defeat. He was a champion. He'd defeated every male challenger in single combat. How could he be so comprehensively overwhelmed by a naked little girl. It should be her shapely body that was battered into helpless submission by the magnificent male warrior, not the other way round. He lashed out at her with his foot as she strutted in front of him. Almost disdainfully, the girl swayed her curvaceous body aside, seized his ankle and lifted and twisted, turning her male victim's huge frame and sending him sprawling face down in the dust. Then she leapt into the air and drove downwards into the man's flat, vulnerable back. Even Eras's powerful muscles couldn't protect him as the vicious young girl concentrated all of her weight into her rock hard heels. Two of his ribs cracked like twigs as she bounced from his spread-eagled body. He roared in agony as he tried to get to his feet to kill this pest of a girl. But the girl was waiting, kicking him in the side and the head as he tried to rise, raining in blows on the male warrior's massive body, driving him to the ground again and again, kicking him in the stomach and the groin as he tried to roll away from her. Eras showed tremendous courage as he did his best to get to his feet and fight the ferocious female who was relentlessly pounding him into submission. But he was simply no match for the Amazon princess who was hell bent on his destruction. Cruelly, the girl drove the will to fight from the floundering male until he lay spread-eagled at her feet, mighty chest heaving, tears running down his cheeks as he sobbed, exhausted, humiliated in defeat, destroyed by a slip of a girl. Lida stood over her vanquished male opponent, legs apart, hands on hips, head cocked as she revelled in the cheers of the women's army. The she slowly lowered herself onto the man's barrel chest. There was an expectant hush as both armies watched the girl complete her conquest. "Poor baby," she crooned, smoothing her victim's hair with one hand while she reached back to grasp his flaccid cock with the other. "Did the little girl hurt you, then?" she teased. "Fancy a big, strong man like you being beaten by a girl. Tut, tut." She tweaked his shattered nose as he lay there, helpless, totally under her control, subjugated by the female who sat astride his supine body, as though riding a broken horse.. "Oh, you like that." She felt his cock grow under her hand. "What a lovely big cock. Now we're going to stand up and show all my girls what a big erection you've got. Come on, I'll help you up That's it. Good BOY!" Utterly exhausted, Eras could barely support himself as the girl moved behind him. She held both his biceps and placed her knee into the small of his back. "Lift your head," she instructed, "and lean back like a good boy. Don't worry, I've got you. I just want you to show everyone your lovely hard-on. That's fantastic," she enthused as the stricken male warrior obeyed her every command. "Well done. Now I'll give you your reward." The Amazon girls shrieked with delight as they saw the man's massive erection jutting out from his taut, stretched body. They shrieked even more as their champion slid her hand round the man's magnificent torso and gently cupped his balls, then went demented as her other hand closed over his shaft and she milked her vanquished male victim completely dry. The male army watched in fascinated silence. They'd seen their huge, Herculean champion utterly destroyed in combat by a slender young girl half his size. Then they watched her totally humiliate the male warrior in front of the women's army. Now they had to witness the climax. Lida moved in front of the man's trembling body. Like a cat, she'd stalked him and struck him down. Now, like a cat, she liked to play with her victims. She reached up and held him by the thick, wiry hair which covered his barrel like chest. Then, cruelly, she used her other hand to slap his face, back and forward. "That's for being a naughty boy," she teased, as she smacked his head from side to side, her voice carrying to both armies. "That's for daring to challenge a girl to a fight." Smack! "That's for being the toughest, strongest man in Greece!" Smack! "And that's to show that girls can beat up the toughest, strongest men in Greece!" Smack! "Now I'm going to give you one last chance." Smack! "Here," she stepped back and put her hands on her shapely hips. "Hit me!" Both armies gasped as they realised what the girl was doing. Everyone held their breath as the slender young girl stood in front of the gigantic male and dared him to attack her. Like a stoat mesmerising a rabbit, the girl focused her will on her massive opponent. For one fleeting moment, the man tried to summon up a last vestige of male pride. His body started to tense as he tried to respond to the challenge of the beautiful young tormentress who was destroying him, then his body sagged. His head drooped, as he sobbed his despair, succumbing to the girl's will as all the aggression drained from his enormous frame. Lida grasped him by his chest hair once more. "I have totally beaten you, haven't I?" Smack! "Now you're too scared of me to fight," she teased, smack! "You've been beaten by a girl, hero!" smack! "and now you must pay the price!" Smack! Disdainfully, the girl let him go, then reached down and took hold of the hapless male's dangling balls. "Come on, man child," she murmured seductively. "Let's go where everyone can see." Slowly, the victorious young girl led her mighty male adversary to a point mid way between the two armies. She led him by his balls as he painfully followed, barely able to put one foot in front of the other. Female had conquered male. The female had the male's organs of masculinity in her hand, under her control, the final symbol of the man's subjugation by a woman "Hit her you fool!" screamed King Urbis from his position in front of the male army. Lida tightened her grip on the giant's balls and pulled down so that he doubled over. "You're not going to hit me, are you sonny?" she crooned. He shook his head as the girl's hand tightened once more on his aching testicles. "No," she patted his head. "You're finished. Poor man, I can do what I like with you now I've got your balls in my hand." His chest heaved as he sobbed his shame. "Kneel," ordered Lida, holding the man by his thick, black hair as he sank on trembling legs into the required position. "Now crawl!" She led her humiliated male victim to within a few metres of the Midian King. "Stop!" she ordered. The girl moved behind the subjugated champion. This time, when the girl positioned her arm across the front of the male's thick neck and locked it into place with her other arm passing behind, there was no resistance. No corded muscles swelled to oppose the crushing pressure the sadistic young girl applied to the man's throat. No powerful hands were raised to pry her slender arms apart as the girl strangled the life from the man's magnificent body. His will to fight had been destroyed by the female fury who had conquered him and so had his will to live. Lida held him there for a moment, then let go and stepped back. The mighty male body slowly crumpled to the ground, rolled over and lay still. The elated young girl placed her foot on the stricken man's throat and raised her arms aloft in victory. ........................ Lida gave a pre-arranged signal to her chief of staff who was watching intently from a ridge on the right, then walked regally to the Midian King, who stood in front of his army, unable to fully comprehend the defeat of his champion. The naked girl, totally unmarked from the battle, and seemingly hardly out of breath, drew herself up to her full stature, thighs taut, breasts thrusting proudly as she squared her shoulders and addressed the monarch. "I have defeated your champion and claim total victory over you and your men. We Amazons, however, cannot handle so many captives. We already have many slaves, and only need one out of every three of your men to serve us. ALL of your men will strip naked and leave their weapons on the ground. Those you select to send into captivity will then march in single file into the pass to our domain. You, and the others you select to go will march off the way you came. Now kneel before me in subjugation and give me your sword in surrender." Once more the Amazons cheered as they saw their young champion make the King of the Midians do her homage. Then they watched as a line of hundreds of selected, naked men, shamed and humiliated by the conditions forced on them by the girl warrior, made their way towards the jeering women, into captivity and a life of subjugation. Lida still maintained her stance on the plain, seemingly impervious to the melee of naked men around her. Soon she was left alone as the columns of defeated male soldiers left to their respective fates. She watched impassively as the King and his selected warriors, including most of his officer corps, wound their way homewards. She still showed no emotion when three hundred Amazon archers, commanded by her Chief of Staff in obedience to their pre-arranged signal, rose from behind a small ridge, drew their bows and fired. The naked men went down in droves as the girls poured volley after volley of deadly fire into their unprotected bodies. Then, at the blast of a horn, the girls dropped their bows and drew their short swords. Those men who survived and tried to run to safety were pursued by the fleetest maidens, caught and cut down. Those who tried to stand and fight were no match for the armed girls and were cruelly massacred. Soon two thousand naked male bodies littered the plain. "Leave them to the carrion birds," ordered the Chief of Staff. Their skeletons will serve as a warning of what happens when a male army tries to overcome the Amazon women." Lida smiled with satisfaction. She would make sure the story was spread that the Midian army of three thousand men had been slaughtered in battle by a force of only one thousand Amazon girls. The bones on the plain would support her claim, and the only male survivors were now slaves of the Amazons and in no position to contradict her. The security of the Amazon kingdom was guaranteed for many years to come. Now she could go and have some sport with her prisoners! End
