C. IF we get a good result we can utterly smash the Lametanian forces, sending them to the underworld where they belong!

C. GLORY TO HELGHAN LUATHBAS

[Haspen]

You order your horsemen to go one way to strike the advancing army's rear, and then you take your men the other way to attack the camps.

6, 4

Your men fall upon one of the northernmost camps around Felonsein fortress; the battle cries rouse the relaxing men, without their weapons and armors ready. By a stroke of luck, your men stumbled upon the camp belonging to the heavily armored infantrymen! Their tought armors and sharp blades are no match to axes and spears of your soldiers if they're not worn!

A big melee ensues once nearby camps are alerted to your presence.

Not long after you clear this camp, a wounded horseman rides to you and reports that the cavalry found and struck against the flank of the marching formation, but suffered many casualties and retreated north-eastwards. They will try to drag the army away but won't be able to contribute much to your efforts at Felonsein.

Then you decide to...

!
A) Carve a path to Felonsein gates in hopes of joining the garrison.
B) Attempt a retreat to strike against the marching unit, hopefully appearing at its flank or rear.
C) Quickly move your men towards another camp and try clearing it out too.

[Tiruin]

We've done a direct attack--and I'm quoting Sun Tzu's Art of War. Now we've to plan out indirect attacks. \o/
C, pursue the assault!
With all the noise going on, our fortress garrison would also notice what's happening. Hopefully we can start a fire or two among the enemy encampments.
But on the plus side, we can also do A, but that may be in preparation for a siege--although I do believe we've defeated the reinforcements the Doe has, but not their heavy equipment. It is night, and B brings us against archers so that's ALSO viable, but we're in a pretty tense situation here.

Seems like we've lost our cavalry support though? But we've eliminated their fanatic Heavy infantry. Now it goes to who has the bigger army.

You lead your men against another camp! Archers and some spearmen are there, and your men engage them in melee.

After a while, its obvious that you're, unfortunately, losing. As it stands-

*swish-THOK*

*THUD!*

Your men, seeing you on the ground with an arrow protruding from your left eye socket, quickly panic; some retreat, most surrender. Their King is dead - what else could they do?

831 AD, Late Summer

You are Lech, son of Houlandin, and, by the decision of the court and Queen Mother Ciri, the new King of Luathbas! There was of course some protest from Queen Aolineniya, but her child is too young to rule a nation that is in such deep trouble. To further cement your rule, you abandon the Houlandin name and use yours as the new naming convention.

Much like your father, wisdom is your strongest point, and you always excelled in fields of history and traditions.

831 AD, Autumn

Fortunately, Queen Alexandra, after the bloody siege of Felonsein that thinned her numbers, and perhaps due to your elder brother's reckless attack, decided to ask for peace.

You are now at House of Lech, with her emissary, Count Dakpaklaktak, who offers you the same terms that were presented to your older brother. Unfortunately, with the fall of Felonsein, and the current state of Luathbas's forces, you have to agree on ceding Southern Territories to Lametania by default.

There remain however the two other conditions. The more you agree to, the easier it will be to maintain the peace in the future...

A) Agree to marry a female member of Queen Alexandra's family, and allow followers of Damed freedom of worship and equal religious laws.
B) Agree to marry a female member of Queen Alexandra's family, but foreign cults shall have no place in Luathbas!
C) Reject the marriage proposal, but allow the Cult of Damed its rights and freedom on par with Luathbas' current pantheon.
D) Reject both, and persuade the Duke to back your stance after his return to Queen Alexandra.

[Tiruin]

The cult of Damed is racist and will hate me.
...Worded as a thought in the new King's mind.

But AUGH we lost EVERYTHING. Formorians. Hurthlings (the soldiers at least).
And our 7 army value.

D. Our nobility likes us, right? B sounds like a good next option, but we've to play to our strength of Wisdom and History.

[Taricus]

D, They want our land? They can take it from our cold, dead hands!

[Ghazkull]

Aye D!

In other news we should rebuild our strength and prosecute a brutal offensive war against lametania. Let them see how THEY like it.

[NRDL]

D for da win

We ain't negotiating with brotherslayers.
