Ruins of the battle of freedom (present day)
The arrow impaled itself in stone wall next to me I flinched and fell onto the ground and I thought again "how did I get roped into this?" just then two soldiers wearing the insignia of the Barbarian alliance rounded the corner and I dove behind a bush. Then, I got a good look at the barbarians. They were heavily armored, each had a mace strapped to their backs, but one carried a short sword and a shield. The other carried a long bow and looked infuriated. The archer walked over to the wall and plucked his arrow out of the wall. Ten he saw it was broke and threw it into my bush. It cut me as it went by my cheek. "we need to search these woods" commanded the archer. Then the warrior looked strait at my bush and saw me through the leaves and said "no need "
Capital castle of the order of the kings ( three years before the battle of freedom)
(My name is king John king of the order of the kings) "lets go" my co-king said, "what" I asked "nothing" he said. "lets get to the meeting" he said. We walked into the war council room only to find all twelve of our advisers arguing. I shushed them all then told them "the day we always feared has arrived. The northern, southern, eastern, and western barbarians have formed an alliance. They sent us a warning that if we didn't surrender they would declare war on our great nation. And I told them bring it on so how many warriors and and other war forces do we have. My spies report 50,000 barbarian swordsmen, 10,000 archers, and 500 spear-wielding horsemen". then my head adviser stood and said," we appear vastly outnumbered then. We do have a advantage though here is my report we have 30,000 swordsmen, 5,000 archers, 100 catapults, 50 siege towers with mounted crossbows and heavy armor,and and of course your enchanted swords and shields. This is my report". "Jeremy are our swords and shields still in the hidden armory?" I asked my co-king. "Yes" he replied. "Good they might prove useful in the coming war". " Now what were you all arguing about before we came in?" "Well" my head adviser began."There have been reports of a fairly large force of people who did not want to be recruited. They have formed an anti-democracy group. They want to destroy our fair rule and reign with an iron fist. Here are their current numbers 10,000 swordsmen untrained by the the way." " Do many people support them?" I asked," well about half the population do" he said. I turned to Jeremy and said,"Can you take 15,000 troops and 1,000 archers and take out this foolish up rise?" "Yes but I need to do it right now while it is still small"He replied."they are called the Wattahoochie that info will be all you need to find them" said my head adviser. Then Jeremy turned and walked toward the barracks."Anything else going on?" I asked the council. When they told me no I excused myself to leave. I knew that with this new alliance of barbarians we needed better trained troops. So I went to the barracks and I noticed the troops I told Jeremy to take were gone. Then I gathered my generals and had them run all the troops with some new formations and give them some practice for the next few weeks. I figured that if we were better trained to fight we would easily win this war.
The Barbarian Camp ( three years before the battle of freedom)
"Ha ha ha ha yes good one Jacob" Robert said as he none to softly slapped Jacob on the back. (the four commanders of the alliance were sitting at a table in the main barbarian camp in the north the four leaders are Robert,of the north barbarian empire; Jacob, king of the southern barbarians; Kojo,commander of the west barbarians; and finally Jeremia, champion of the eastern barbarians). "please no more jokes!" begged Jeremia. "Yes we must focus on war planning" agreed Kojo "well we have agreed that we must strike before the kings have time to break us apart"said Kojo. They all mumbled their agreements.
"So come with me and let me show you my plan" Kojo said. The three barbarian leaders followed him outside the command hut they were in. He walked strait over to the mini command map that was set up. " we will begin with attacking the outer villages here,here, and there" he said pointing to several villages. "that should work to at least distract the kings from attacking us" Kojo thought out loud.
Then a messenger came up to the group of leaders, saying " Generals our spies tell us that there is a movement against the kings in their own territory. Should we try to open an alliance with them?" The scout asked. "Yes" they all said at once because they all thought they could easily sneak into the kings territory with this group's help. "What is the name of this group?" Jeremia asked. "The Wattahoochie"
The Ruins of the Battle for Freedom (present day)
(okay John here let me give you a run down about the three years after these events. The Wattahoochie retreated and did not join the barbarians. The barbarian army and our army clashed and we were beat back to our castle. Then they destroyed our castle which is now called the ruins of the battle of freedom. now the reason I left my forces was to get my sword and shield which brings me back to my story)
As soon as the warrior finished talking I pulled out my sword and shield and and I advanced on the two barbarians. I used my enchanted sword to set fire to every material on their bodies. When they saw the fire they ran and didn't stop running until the fire had burned their legs off.
A few minutes after they were gone 20 of my commandos came around the corner (commandos are heavily armored and well armed best trained soldiers). Then, we heard the screams...
