"My men, I have asked so much from you, and you have given me even more. Never could my own glory surpass what all of you combined have created. Each and every one of you, a hero. Many of you have not served longer than a month, and yet, in your glory, you are already equal to the celestial elites.
Today, I salute you. And eventhough the siege has deprived us of much, I shall open my personal wine cellar, because heroes like you deserve a festival to their honor!"
*loud cheering*
"The enemy is fleeing from our enormous might. And we are given the order to pursue. But not tonight. Tonight we shall party and tomorrow we shall rest. Let the enemy *attempt* to flee for all that he is worth. Even with a night of festivals and a day of rest, we can still catch up to them. So I ask you, once we are done destroying what little wine I have left in my cellars, who of you is up to slaughter some barbarians, capture their city, and restock on wine from those fools who dare to attack the glorious people of Mardukane?!"
*more loud cheering*
"Then let the festival begin!"
-----------------------
To reward the men for the hardship they have endured and for their heroic victory, a festival is held.
Saddling his new destrier, the noble horse Lightning Sand, Munisai takes with him the veteran units of cavalry and Infantry, and moves to pursue the enemy. Kestrel will come with them, leading a freshly trained unit of cavalry. Because he is wounded, he is advised not to duel with any leaders. Not an order, just advise.
On a horse as fast as this, catching up to them should be no problem at all. It's time to slaughter these fools, before they can attempt to stop the revolting that is currently beginning in their city. If he manages to defeat the barbarian army before they reach the city, the city itself should offer no resistance to him at all.
also, simply to show off, here are my current stats, including all the rewards I have got:
Tactics:4
Combat:1
Leadership:2
Speed:4
Nobility:5
ohhh yeah
also, I have been appointed governor of Mardukane, but I don't know wether this would count as some sort of special trait
