“Okay, here’s the assignments you ten. Ten shall guard the Overlord himself. One and Two, you shall oversee the retrieval of materials for building the new castle at the ruins. Three and Four, you shall head west in search of villages or nations that will serve as resources for the Great One. Five and Six, you shall go east and do the same. Seven and Eight, you shall go south of here and follow the other two groups. Each of you will take a thousand soldiers each, giving each group a total of two thousand soldiers. Be careful, be swift, and be ruthless. We must establish a proper sense of order here, you know.”
Some time ago, Gnarl had given all of the Minions specific tasks to be done. One and Two were to help with the construction of the castle. As for Three through Eight, they had been instructed with the exploration of the surrounding land, the raiding of villages, and the forming of alliances in their respective directions. So far, nothing has been heard of from them. One can only wonder if they have been successful in their orders.
“So we’re in agreement, then?”
“Yes, yes! As long as we get the gems and the white pony, we will serve your master.” A Diamond Dog answered.
“Do you think they’d be useful, Four?”
“Maybe. They have weapons and armor, Three, so they might be good for raids. Tell them to have their forces meet the Big Guy back at base.” Four commanded.
“You there,” Three pointed to one of the three Diamond Dog leaders at their underground outpost. “Make sure you have enough. Once we start the attack, we need to have full strength. Don’t betray us.”
“Like we said, we want jewels and the pony. That’s it.”
“Fine then. Start to get to the Boss quick. We’re heading west.” Three concluded.
The entire vanguard of Diamond Dogs there whimpered at the sound of their intended direction.
“Did you say west?” A Diamond Dog asked.
“What of it?” Four asked.
“Hehe, be careful there. That’s Griffin territory.” The dog warned.
“Thanks for the tip, mutt. But I doubt some birds can stop us.” Four replied. The experienced Brown turned to his invasion force. “Minions, we head west towards Griffin Kingdom!”
All of the Minions there shouted, kicked, and screamed. There were some hostilities between the Diamond Dogs and the Minions when they first met. After a few dozen dogs and Minions were killed, they came to realize that the onslaught would continue. So they decided to see if they could have a mutual alliance. And so, the Diamond Dogs were now a part of the Overlord’s expeditionary force as long as they had their precious gems and Rarity. A good amount of Minions had been lost prior to the encounter with the canines.
At first heading due west, the forces of Three and Four ran into Dragonridge Mountains, a place where many dragons would stay and rest. One of the most flourishing times for the range was when it was the Great Dragon Migration. Thankfully, there were but a few dragons, but they were still very formidable. They’re scorching fire blasts had incinerated many of the imps who were not Reds. In all, at least a good five hundred were lost killing the dragons.
Somehow, more dragons started to arrive, thus proving the Minions’ attempts at emerging victorious futile. The two leaders retreated, following the opposite mountain range which led them to the Diamond Dog encampment. Four swore that the next time that the Overlord was with them, the dragons would be made slaves.
Three and Four could see a large city in the distance. Most likely Canterlot from what the Diamond Dog scouts had told them. Since the place was the largest city of the ponies, the imps decided that postponing an attack was the best plan. So the army stuck to the shadows, traveling passed the castle and trekking through the forest. Eventually, the forest started to thin out as the temperature began to drop. Snow was starting to become the common sight instead of grass.
Not long after arriving into the wintery kingdom, the Minions spotted large groups of griffins. They had arrived in Griffin territory. Four turned to his co-leader Three.
“Attack or talk?” Four questioned.
“......I don’t know...we always attack..we should try talking for once.” Three thought.
“Well, it’s settled then.” Four turned to his remaining force of just a few more than a thousand.
“Brothers, ATTACK!”
Five began to sweat as skulked along the half-desert half-savanna floor. He shook his head in an attempt to fling it all off.
“When do you think we’ll find any of them?” Five inquired.
“Be patient. We only got off the boat from Hoofington a short time ago.” Six reminded.
“We still could’ve stayed for an extra brew. Or at least we could have taken some of that delicious sweet cold milk. What was it called again? Ice cream?”
“Stop whining. I think all of it was gone after the REDS,” Six turned his attention to a large group of Reds behind him. He gave them all a chastising glare. “Burned the whole place to the ground before we could even tell them anything.”
A Red gave Six the middle finger.
“Can’t blame ‘em. One of those horses looked at me funny.” Five defended.
“Whatever. At least we were able to take their boats. And I can’t believe it was that easy. Almost no one tried to stop us. Oh, and the little piece of information that one griffin gave us was good. Now that we know these ‘zebras’ are good fighters, we have more things for use in an army.” Six explained.
The place that they had arrived in was heavily contradictory to the cool air of Equestria. In Equestria, it was mild to temperate climates. The weather wasn’t too one-sided and the travel was fairly quick. For such a large land, travel was fairly easy. In fact, one could travel from one part of the Pony land to the other in a fair amount of time.
Five and Six had experienced little to no resistance in their travel east. They only kinds of species that they had encountered in abundance were small little orbs with wings called Parasprites, to which many Greens ate, and as usual, ponies. Five and Six had hoped for a fight. They hoped that the others had better luck in terms of finding mighty foes.
The sun at this new land was beaming down on the Minions as they hastily moved. Half of the force was left with the task of guarding the ships while the others went in search of allies. Six had managed to keep his cool while Five was whining like a whelp.
“Would you shut up already?” Six remarked.
“But it’s really hot! Really really hot! I bet those damn Reds are enjoying this.”
The two veterans stopped when they heard commotion ahead of them. Instinctively, they prepared themselves for a fight. A large group of tribal beings stood a good distance away. Further back, the imps saw huts, campfires, and giant voodoo masks. One of the forms in the middle moved forward to greet Five and Six.
“Stop! Who are you creatures of metal, grey? What brings you to our fair lands of Zebrican, today?” A zebra with a staff gave them a questioning look.
Six and Five turned to each other, giving the other an evil grin.
Five turned to the zebra. “Submit or Die.”
Seven and Eight had been through a lot in their lives. They had been with the Overlord since the very start, before he even met Rose. They had helped him conquer many of his enemies, Goldo, Oberon, Sir William, and even their Old Master. But never, had they feasted quite like this.
After Gnarl had given them their orders, and after they had traveled south for a good while, they stumbled into a giant desert inhabited by ponies and bulls. As for the ponies, they put up some fight with futile physical confrontation and some meager ranged weapons that had always corresponded with apple pie. This proved futile as their beloved town of Appaloosa was taken by the Minions. After leaving a detachment force to watch the town as they went to deal with the other natives.
The bison were extremely strong. They were almost on par with Rollie, Melvin Underbelly the giant fat blimp hobbit king, and unicorns.These brown furred creatures had managed to trample hundreds of Minions to their deaths. After some wise assessment and thinking, Seven and Eight developed a new method of fighting these creatures. The fast and agile Greens would distract them as the accurate archer Reds fired from a safe distance.
It wasn’t long before most of the bison were burned and singed alive. After flaying their fur, the Minions ate for what seemed like an eternity. The only thing missing was a good brew. They had managed to keep a small group of bison alive though. These remaining survivors were made prisoners. Only two had revealed their names; Chief Thunderhoof and Little Strongheart.
After stationing more soldiers at Appaloosa, Seven and Eight decided to continue on south. There were more species to be dealt with. It was a long journey, in fact, it was the most grueling out of all of the other exploring groups. They had managed to reach their final destinations rather quickly while Seven and Eight had yet to finally meet an ally. The climates changed so quickly it was hard for the imps to comprehend.
They had traveled from a hot desert to an arid mountain range. Beyond the mountains were giant chasms that seemed to reach the planet’s core itself. It took them days to finally navigate through the black holes. Again, more desert followed and Minions started to fall from the heat. Luckily, many of them were brought back by the reviving Blues but there were still some who were lost completely.
The group managed to stumble into a city and ransack it for supplies. This city seemed to be inhabited by dogs that could speak and ponies alike. The city itself was called Quebark City. It was troublesome to take the metropolitan city over, as the dogs of the place were not willing to give up their homes. But eventually, good leadership caused the Minions to gain a foothold in the place.
From here, Eight decided that he would head a medium force to take the city while Seven would press onward. That way, when Seven came back there would be supplies waiting for him. The two leaders parted ways temporarily was Seven continued south. It was then that the Minions faced their hardest challenge. They had travelled into the Boarean Tundra. There was little to no food and warmth was almost nonexistent.
Many of the occupants there also didn’t take a liking to an invasion force on their territory. Polar bears and seals fought the Minions day and night, which was hard to distinguish from the lack of a sun. After managing to slip passed the persecution, Seven and a force of six hundred imps crossed the ice bridge that connected it to a dreary and dark place. They knew that if there was an ally to be found anywhere, this was the place.
The place was littered with fiery volcanoes, ash, and darkness. The sun was nowhere to be seen and the place itself was just evil. Finally, the Minions had found somewhere that they would be able to call sanctuary. There were hundreds of large towering hives that surrounded the land. Deciding to find some type of leadership, Seven led the others to the largest and centermost hive. They could hear buzzing and the flapping of wings enclosing on their position.
They hesitantly entered a large chamber that was dimly lit, albeit it was decorated in things fit for a queen. Seven didn’t feel safe exactly, as he felt hundreds or even thousands of eyes boring into the back of his head.
“Who dares enter my domain?” A female voice called.
“Seven, wench. I come bearing tidings from the Master.” He replied.
“Wench?! You dare call me a petty name?! Who is this master of yours?”
“Why, the Overlord, of course. Seeing as how you live in a place unlike my Leader’s, might you be interested in joining him?”
“Join him in what exactly?” The female asked.
Seven grinned in a mischievous manner. “We’re taking over the ponies. We’re taking Equestria.”
“Really? I’ve tried with my people once but we were....defeated by their magic. What makes you so sure that you’ll succeed?”
Seven laughed maniacally at the thought of those peace-loving workhorses beating the Dark One. “The Overlord is the most powerful being there is. He is Evil.”
The shadowed figure that sat atop the throne high up was silent. “Hmm...and what stops me from just trying to fight your ‘Overlord’, huh? If I was able to best their Princess by using their love, how will taking your leader’s love and using it against him be any different?”
All of the other Minions followed Seven as he led a chorus of laughter and mockery.
“Love?! The Master has no love! He has no soul. Now answer, will you help or die, and what is your name?” Seven ordered, now fed up with the tedious questions.
“If it means causing the fall of Equestria, I’ll help.” The shadow flew forward, revealing a crooked horn, black skin, and two menacing green eyes. She smiled at Seven who returned the gesture.
“Consider Queen Chrysalis your ally.”
IDEEEAAAAA!!!
What if you have like two different endings? You know, in the Overlord game you can either choose to enslave the land and its inhabitants or live with them together in harmony while still being a ruler. Eh? EH?
I'm sorry if that is what you had planned and I just spoiled everything...
LONG LIVE THE OVERLORD!!!!!!!!
P.S. things are getting very interesting
Chrysalis the new Rose. I can see it happening already, and it's not pretty.
Anyways i love the story, now, will the Griffins help The Overlord, or will they become another weak enemy to crush ?
Thats for next time i guess.

Yeah, just wait. This was just a chapter to let people know how the other races are involved and where the Minion leaders were.

*Unrelated to my previous comment* I actually imagined the idea of Queen Chrysalis becoming the Overlord's mistress. For some reason I really like that idea...

869104

nonononono im so sorry Mr. Norrisi wont do it again 870007
I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I'm personally hoping the Overlord ends up loosing... or at least somehow decides to switch sides and forge an alliance with the intention of stopping Discord. Regardless, it's still a good story mate.
This guy actually seems less like the Overlord (Well, the canon one, but honestly who am I to judge?) and more like the Overlad, evil just for the sake of being a dick. Could easily be wrong, but that's just how I see it.
Absolutely love this story. Can't wait for more. Pretty risky of the Overlord to send out his minions in different directions over so much distance. I would have been scared of spreading my forces too thin, but I guess more minions can always be spawned...
870034 Why do I see you wherever I go?

...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Am I the only one here that still hopes the Overlord get's his ass whooped ?
You know. We know what the male Diamond Dog looks like but not the female (In several stories and not just fanfics the 2 sexes can look majorly different [Even kids can look different till they reach a puberty/adult growth stage]). By saying that the Overlord could also gain a Diamond Dog Mistres (Chrysalis benefits the Greens and the Diamond Dog benefits the Brown). Who to say how pent up the Overlord is since being in the Abyss (After it closing up the time in the abyss could have picked up or slowed down so the months or so in the main world could have been years in the Abyss). I see the Diamond Dog Mistress playing off of Xena Warrior Princess (Without the redeeming part) and the Female Gang concept (After the first encounter with the Overlord the gang falls over itself like a fan-base). Though what kind of Mistresses benefits the Blues and Reds is anyone's idea.
871114 Now mister Darksoul I would like to give you a lesson. IN Overlord 1 you could have 1 of 2 mistresses, either Rose who makes your Browns and Blues better or Velvet who gmakes your Greens and Reds better. A Dimond dog mistress would not realy be that good, they are stupid ect. ect. Have you thought of Zebras and Griffins too? And who says he is getting a mistress anyway? In the story the narrator says that he is still loyal to his wife Rose who he loves dearly. The Ideas my be good but who knows whats going to happen. I can give you this though, PonyManne HATEs Clops after having a discussion with him so there will probably not be any Overlord X Chrysalis or any other.
870118 the Overlord being more like his son Overlad? Just being evil for being a dick? Have you met The Second Overlord? Let me give you a history lesson on Overlord.
The Overlord in this one (the 3:rd one) was actauly a HERO, the 8t:th Hero who whent to kill the second Overlord with the other 7 Heros. After a brutal battle the Overlord and the 8:th plummeted to the ground and what thought to be dead. Before the second Overlord died however he took control over the Mage who was one of the 7:th heros (the 8:th Hero joined in their journey to vanquish evil, he was not planed to join but did anyway) and used his body to corrupted the other 7 Heros. The 8:th Hero survived after his fall and got who was caved in under the rubble and debris and got Amnesia. He was used by the Second Overlord to spread Evil over the land and Kill his fellow 7 Heros who was is friends. The Second Overlord just used the 3:rd Overlord and was going to kill him but failed by the hand of the 3:rd Overlord. in some parts he is like his son but Evil is always like that. Every Overlord has done it, take over the world or at least some places. In the Overlord game you can become Corrupted. You have to play the game to understand it, so go now to your nearest game store and by it,
THE OVERLORD COMMANDS YOU
images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110720174242/overlord/images/f/f0/Third_Overlord_Corruption_Changes.jpg
871443 I know, I played and beat both. I wouldn't say they were his "Friends" considering they looted the tower, left him for dead and became the embodiments of sin, apparently knowing full well who the third actually was and trying to kill him anyway. Actually, this is his first time actually fighting against a force that can be considered "good". And sure as hell the first time allying himself with anyone, Lust doesn't count. Thanks for that pic, I've never gone remotely evil so had no idea the armour's different, but the gold would've been more satisfying than saving a species I hate. Speaking of which, I actively searched and couldn't find any mention of his decision regarding that.
Everything from here on is directed at PonyManne.
Sorry if I come off as a dick with that last post, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of the overlord actually being legitimately evil, especially after the part where he saved the peasants' food. Anything after that was just interpreted as idiot minions warped views of their master. Completely missed a few parts, sorry.
871504 Well if he didn't save the women elfs then they wouldn't be in overlord 2, but seing this isn't about the Overlad then any of the decisions he makes goes well in this story. Oh and a long time ago I talked with PonyManne and he sayed The Overlord in this story is about 47% Evil. He ins't considerd a "Hero" (anymore) or even "True Evil" but as he IS the EVILEST Being in this and his own World he got the name of being THE TRUE EVIL ONE.
There is nothing as evil like the Overlord because he has either Killed it or they are to afraid to stand up. I mean, The Overlord went To HELL (the abyss) and killed the forgotten god, A GOD!!! OF PURE EVIL!!! and the Overlord killed him. If you come back after killing something like that then you truly are the evilest being in the world.
images.wikia.com/overlord/images/b/b8/The_Forgotten_God.png
871443 Who said anything about clops. The Overlord game didn't have any sexual activity except one bit which was considered more of a joke (The player watching from the outside which can be reused in a sense). Diamond Dog Females can be alot smarter then the males but are looked down at (Which goes with the reference to the character following an Amazon concept then what the rest normally follow).
871634 Then may I ask, WHY you want the Overlord to have a Dimond Dog Mistress?
Do you have a fetish with them?
Oh and the clop part is just a shout out to people who are sick enough to want to see it.
FOR THE OVERLORD!!!
Q: what about the minotaurs? since The Overlord is the biggest badass around would the minotaurs follow him? or would he have to break a few heads?
i'm looking forward to seeing the dragons trying (and failing) to fight The Overlord thats goona be awesome!
