You order the army to march out and go for Felonsein to break the siege.


In less than a week, you, and your forces, arrive at Felonsein plain. Scouts report that the castle is surrounded by camps of the Lametanian forces. There is little evidence of siege engines being constructed or already assembled, albeit the fortress itself has badly damaged towers and holes in topmost crenellations.

At least the Luathbas banner is still fluttering from the top of the keep.

A) "This is our moment! All forces are to spread out and raid the shit outta the Lametanian scum!"
B) "March forward and prepare for battle!"
C) Wait while scouts and horsemen get information and/or harass some supply wagons or other easy targets.

7 for A, 8 for B

Hmmmm :vc

For a brief moment, Shaelynn and Jann could hear a quiet rumble, as if two heavy stones were slowly moved against each other.

~~Allies Turn!~~

The good Captain moved forward.

You put on your helmet, lift up your mace, and CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGEEE!!!

7!*

You smash against the enemy horsemen with your own cavalry guard, and then wreck the Lametanian faces! Your momentum carries you and your troop through the dispersed enemy horsemen and against the flank of the heavy infantry!

Your mace brushes against their collarbones and heads and necks, and you can see heads flying off at the mere scratches inflicted. This caused the disciplined, but already tired, foreign infantry to panic and rout as well!

Bards would later sing 'a new God of War was born on that battlefield'.

The stubborness of your troops as well as your valiant charge have convinced Queen Alexandra's commanders; Lametanian retreat horns were heard soon afterwards!

Your army received heavy casaulties, however, and there is no way they can pursue to cut down the fleeing enemies. Your Fomorian Guard in particular was destroyed, with the few surviving giants all wounded and crippled. The Hurthlings, being ranged troop and all, got off easy this time.

The commanders hail their victorious King and ask you to decide something; return to House of Lech to recuperate and reinforce, or rest here and tomorrow march after the enemy to the southern border?

A) Retreat to House of Lech; we need to be in best shape if we are to fight against hordes of Queen Alexandra on equal footing.
B) Rest here, and by tomorrow we will go on the offensive; we have to make this victory truly count!

You send in the cavalry!

The crossbowmen turn back and abscond while a small unit of spearmen moves forward to protect them!

4*

This doesn't stop your cavalry from smashing into the spearmen and crossbowmen alike! They suffer some casaulties.

The battle progresses with the melee, with the frontlines and Hurthlings doing their best to keep the armored infantry at bay, as your cavalry managed to succeed in its task, then retreat and regroup.

Currently, this battle is leaning towards your victory.

Unfortunately, not that much later, another unit of heavy infantry, with some cavalry mixed in, is spotted advancing from the rear of Queen's formations to attack your right flank!

A) Time to move our Hurthling slingers there!
B) Let them meet the formidable Fomorians!
C) Just thicken the flank with our reserves.
