He was pleased to see that so many had defected. He was going to show them the benevolence that he'd promised. They'd remain alive so long as he did. He let them in, he had a few knights watch them just in case, but otherwise they were trusted not to betray his trust. His knights let them pass...

He'd just wait. Let the idiots come to them. Frankly the only smart thing they did was keep the Knights in reserve, that way his knights would, theoretically, be exhausted by the time they fought with the enemy's knights. But they had a few vampires among them. So they had the power of the...

The minute the catapult hit he looked around, and saw instantly where the wooden wall had been damaged. Wooden walls were thick, thicker than one might think. In fact, wooden walls were mostly dirt. So it was significantly harder to break through than one might think. So the wall was two...

He looked over at his wife and the look she was giving him. He smiled and with a head shake and a sigh he said, "okay." He called over one of the Knights they'd brought with them. "Go with the kid, make sure his lord doesn't decide to kill him. If it looks like he will, bring the kid back...

He invited the messenger inside while he read the declaration. He handed it to Syvis so she could look it over and gave the messenger two messages back, one for the lord, one for his men. "To your lord, thank him for observing the formalities, and to your army, and this applies to you too...

He grinned to himself, that's one way to put it for sure. Less unbearable, huh. She really hated that belt didn't she. The mounted knights on their horses and clad in their black armour of steel plates was indeed a sight that made one feel powerful, even the Knights themselves. There was a...

He Chuckled, his head concealed in his hood and steel mask to stave off the sun, "if you want to be on the road more, I'll take you with me on future trips." The five lines and ten columns of black-clad knights followed close behind, carrying their kite shields and lances. It was obvious what...

He nodded, then he helped her mount her horse, before getting atop his own. The two rode out, accompanied by a unit of fifty elite knights, the bulk of the army would come later, their first mission was to set up a fort as a foothold for the invasion. Then hold there for the main force.

Her words earned an amused laugh from him before he pulled her up to himself to give her a "real kiss". "I'm glad to hear that. You ready to move? Or do you still have something to do before we go?"

(Hey, Summer's gonna be busy for me, so please be patient with my slow replies.)

He chuckled, "Yes I know. I apologize, I've simply never seen you on a battlefield and I worry. Yes, I know you've beaten each of the guards in single or even double combat but fighting an army isn't the same. I'm just concerned is all." He gave her a quick kiss to the forehead, "At least tell...

He smiled at her, and gave her forehead a loving kiss. "We'll be off in fifteen minutes, the men still need to get to their mounts. Your horse is soon to be here, I sent a servant to get her saddled and ready." He handed her a light stabbing sword, a rapier by the looks of it, or maybe a...

Conrad had written a letter to his uncle explaining the situation and asking him to send a few soldiers to help keep the peace in his home city while he went off for his war. Then he'd called the captain of his guard and told him to start the mobilization. They had two hundred soldiers ready to...

"I don't know how you expect to ride a horse after what I just did to you." He said with a chuckle. "But so long as you hang back and only fight it's inevitable, then I'll be happy to have you along." He stood up and playfully smacked her rump before heading for the door. "Now go get some...
