How much alcohol you can drink is just a new interpretation of Darwin:
"Only the fittest survive (so much alcohol)" :biggrin:

Knight Richard's adventure
Chap. 28: After the battle...
July 4, 1005, Noon
The bysantines finally attacked at sundown. We had fortidfied as much as we could and Xuca ordered all of Cls men to be in the front line since they where the only heavy armorer men we had. Behine all of the light cavarly, much of which was dismounted and where too use slingers, axes, whatever they could find and throw to the enemy. The Battle ranged all night long, but things began to fall apart. No matter how many romans we killed more kept comming, and our ditches were full now. They splited us in half and began to surround us, it all seemed lost, when then first rays of the sun appeared onver the horizon, and like a miracle Hawk knight and all my men appeared by the forest charging fiercly. They quickly reached us, but the other men in the rear where cut off completly and we lost them, they where about 400 brave soldiers. As the Bysanthines began to retreat Xuca apparently was attack, he stoped the man, but his horse lost balance and fell, landing on his sword and cutting his tight. He is on his tent now resting. Now we are preparing to finally begin our march toward the main force and go to Andrinople. More bloodsheed lies there.

Navatar's Travel log

I took with me a dosen of my last elite guards and joined Edward and his army to march to Wales. We departed almost imediatley after the rest of Edwards army arrived.
After I promoted some of the brave and able men who fought in the siege, I gave my wife some instructions and then rode away to meet the my enemy.

Nightfall

We have come quite a bit and have now set up camp. It's surpises me that the Scottish troops can march so far in one day and build a camp so qiuckly and effective.
(I most talk to Edward on hiring some of his warriors when this war is over)
We're almost halfway to the welish castle. We encountered two mounted spies on the road and managed to kill one of them but the other one managed to ride away. We now know that we will probably be ambushed soon. I certaniely hope so, I don't know if I can handle another siege so s.....

Knight Richard's adventure
Chap. 29: Andrinople, The last stop
July 10, 1005

It is noon and the great allied army of 160,000 strong laids before the great city of Andrynople. The men watch as over 200,000 Romans/arabs attack the now under flames town. The other leaders are out giving orders to the men as they prepared to help the besieged men in adrinople, while Richard talks to his elite english infantry men.
"We have have sail acroos the Angry waters English channel, and throught the cold Baltic sea. We have marched over 10000 leagues across snow and desert, Mountains and plains. We have fought agaist overwellming odds,against 100 armys and all have fell before our might. Today we fight once more, this time together with our friends, The Serbians, Mercians,Bulgarians and the famous middrill men against a comvined army of arabs and Romans, with numbers far greater than our on. But don't fear, they will fall too!"
"Yeaah"The men shouted
"This words have been said many times through out history" Richard said," and today they shall be heard once more, Conquer your fear, and you shall conquer death!, Many of us might not be on this world by night fall, many of us might never return to our homeland, England, but this day will be remembered a 1000 years from now. The day when a band of brothers, all with different cultures and believes joined forces to stop a common foe, the day when good fought the evil tyrany and they won the day !"
The men shouted, showing their believe on their leaders.

And so the battle began, 1000's of Arab arrows painted the sky dark, killing many men. Hawk and his Horsemen charged at the enemy lines, fallowed by the others. The battle was beginign to be lost, many of them men were losign hope and were retreating. Richard seen this took the flag, which had been made to represent all of the allies, from the retreating man and charged with it toward the lines, shouting
"Stay in the lines, No retreat, Fight!!!"
The men began to return, But richard had lead himself to the open, leaving himself vunerable, seen this his remaining english infantry charged to his aid. Then an arrow out of no where pierce Richard's Armor, stunning him, then another two on his back, yet he didn't led go of the flag. He struggle a little, and raised him self fro the ground. Then a roman pierce his back with his sword and then destroyed the flag. Hawk seen this rushed to help and so did the other Commanders. The army fallowed leaving 1000's of Romans and arab bodies scatered about.The Romans begin to retreat. Hawk finally manage to get to Richard and kneels next to him. Richard says in his pain,
"I, I have finally found my purpose on this world "coughts" We have won, have we?"
"Yes my brother, thanks to your courage" Hawk Saids, " Rest now you will get better soon"
"Heh, I will finally meet with my old friend Roger", Richard saids with a smile, " Take this"
He gives a folde paper to Hawk, "Tell her I love her with all my heart"
" I will, I promise" Hawk said
"Goodbye,"Richards wispers
"Goodbye friend" Hawk said
"Tell her I love...." Richard wispers as his body loses all life left on it

Months later on poland, a massanger enters the capital on a rush. He gives the massage to the princess. She reads:
" He was a great man, fought like no other, his last wish was that I tell you how much he loved you. I'm sorry....."
From the her eyes drops of water begin to appear. Then she looks down and gently touches her now growing belly.......

Kunos log

"May god show mercy!" It was over, no chance to survive. The mercenearies started to attack. I and my 30 men were standing on the top of a little hill around the banner of Mercia. They started to encircle us, and we stood together back near back an were waiting for death.
Then they attacked, they started their battle cries and swang their axes. It was terrible, they hacked around like mad, several men got hurt. But we still stood, our armours were much better than the ones of the enemy. Once we started do use our swords we brought death to them.
Several of my men died, but much more of the enemies died with them. But they were much more than us at least 10 times more!

The battle continued, after half an hour half of my men and about 60 enemies had found their end....I started to get tired, I could see the enemy prepearing for the final attack...
They reformed their circle, then they shot arrows! One of them hit my left shoulder, I could feel how he passed throhg the armour, but I felt no pain...
Now they started again their terrible cries. "This will be the last sound I hear." I thought. Then they attacked!
"Farewell men, I was proud to fight side by side with you. We will soon meet each other at a better place!"

When the fight started again, suddelnlx the sound of horses appeared. And then, not far, riders came in sight, with the banner of Bulgaria in their middle!
They attacked our enemies, and chased them away! Many died under the swords of the Bulgarians and just a few could escape.
A wonder! Why did they come over here? The camp was miles away!
before I could think more a man came to us! it was Traveller!

"How?...more I couldn't say, I sank on my knees and was overhelmed by all!

I saw how traveller said someting and pointed at my shoulder, but I couldn't understand what he said. Then the world turned black...



*ok, that's it from me for a while, Sire kuno needs now some time to get better agian. :wink:

[Dobber]

[Kuno of Gersenau]
