Part 2: Civil War in ByzantineFAMILY! I HATE FAMILY! Damn , those ingrateful Bastards! First the Carpathian Emperor tries to assassinate me, then Erdvilas the Pommeranian King declares his independence the moment my troops crossed the Border to Byzantine!
But not with me, nooo....you want to betray Kunos the First? You want to awaken the Dragon? HAVE IT YOUR WAY!
March, 1136
RATS! RATS EVERYWHERE! First my own Family Members and now this! The Germans and even our ancient Homelands are in Rebellion for independence! Lead by the Pope (this is just getting ridiculous) they have risen against me. But i will show them too, they will bleed and they will bleed bad.
And now this:
the following pages are filled with RATS! EVERYWHERE!
August, 1139
HA! I got your wife Edvilas, oh how she screamed and screamed, for days on end, flayed in front of your own Capital. I will have you too, sooner or later.
September, 1139
Damnit, the Germans suprised us at Krosno.
December, 1139
We nearly had Bzersko when the German Devils where upon us again!
After the Defeat at Krosno, my Vassal managed to gather a new host, now we will see how the German Rebels deal with somebody of equal stre-
Note to myself, replace this bumbling fool when i have the time and make somebody more useful High Priest...
January, 1140
NO! YOU USELESS SPINELESS BASTARD! I should have you flayed for your incompetence...
March, 1140
Templin. A name which will be beaten into the head of every single on of my vassals. I found the army of Eadvilas. THey almsot immediately surrendered upon facing my twenty thousand men with their eight...
Eight Thousand Flayed People nailed to crosses and several miles of road later, everyone would know that rebelling against me is not a good idea.
August, 1140
No....NO! This mongrel son of a street harlot dares to declare war on ME? THE EMPEROR OF WENDLAND?
I will have his head too in time...
November, 1140
Lost, all is lost. Treachery in my own ranks, a peace negotiated against my will, WE COULD HAVE WON GODDAMNIT.
I-i just needed more time....time.
December, 1140
Because Invading Babarians, Rebelling Lords and Christians aren't enough:
June, 1141
Limanova. A name symbolizing shame and defeat for the Eastern Hordes. And a symbol of how you win wars with coin. Eleven Thousand hastily hired Mercenaries send them running HAH.
It was a clsoe thing though, until their marshal died after a heroic charge directly into a line of pikes. Tosser.
October, 1141
Hah, finally some good news. While my cough has worsened, i finally managed to bring down Eadvilas.
His public flaying and that of his treacherous allies was balsam for my soul.
November, 1141
I am a Kinslayer. Well if half of Europes Nobility belongs to your family you inadvertely kill some of them. Like my Dear Kinsman the German King who had rebelled together with the pope. Well today he learned a valuable lesson: if you rebel always,always, always check your food for poison. HAH.
Three Days Later
Rats! Rats everywhere!
December 1141
I am considering suicide...
