"Damm this weather" I shouted out loud so that everyone can hear how frustrated I am because of the situation as the rain pelted us while we march to gather more troops.
I and Max agreed that we both gather troops from different half's of Quenelles with Max going west to raise an army there while I go east to raise an army there.
It has been a week since I depart from the capital city of Quenelles to rally an army to defend our dukedom of Quenelles and already it's going downhill.
First, I started with all the castles next the capital city who for the most part were minor lords and a few semi-powerful lords joining our ranks. After gathering their levies and knights into our ranks our army was not about 5,000.
We then started to go north and gather troops along the way there. After 4 days of going up north, we gathered another 5,000 men into our ranks making our army into 10,000 men strong.
The weather while we march was quite pleasant for the start with the sun our back and a slight breeze to cool ourselves. The heat was mild keeping us warm but not too warm so we made a lot of ground in them first few days.
Then It went all to hell when it the first droplets came crashing down on us. At first, it was light shower where it didn't really hinder us at all while we march up north. j
But the rain just continued on and got more powerful day after day. The rain destroyed the dirt road that we were travelling on and just turned int massive lane of wet mud.
Because of this, our march dragged down to a snail pace with us barely making any progress at all. waggons and horses begin to get stuck in the mud and some of the horses even began to sink into the ground because of how wet it was. groups of men had to pull these horse or else the horse will drown.
This happens countless time while we travelled up north and it sapped the men strength and morale. After a week of this weather, our morale began to drop because of this damn weather.
Even worse though is that since everyone was wet all of the time because of the rain all of our clothes were wet all the time. This then causes a few of the men-at-arms to get colds because they didn't have dry clothes and there weren't enough tents for everyone so that had to sleep in the rain.
Then illness became a problem inside the camp with countless men getting sick from the cold or the weather which slowed us down even more. Morale in the army was now just gone because the weather and illness happening in the army.
After a week of travelling, we only gained about another 2,000 men from the castle's that we manage to reach. Our army number was now 12,000 after a week of travel in this rain.
And now I look across the camp we made to settle for the night.

I walk out of my tent to the place we step up for today.
The field we step up for the night wouldn't be my first place to set up but we had no choice because of the amount of men in the army. There hundreds of tents across the field and small fires that stayed alight.
Getting anywhere though was the problem because of the rain the field just turned into wet mud so it was quite hard to get anywhere. We had to chop down trees and make wooden planks just to get around.
Hopefully, the next day will be better as go back into my tent and try to sleep from the noise of the rain .
The next day
As I woke up I began to hear the rain hit my tent again like all them other days mother nature is being my enemy.
After half and hour of quick wash and gearing my armour and weapons I march the army off to the next castle to pick up more men.
after another few days of travelling in this godforsaken weather. The rain finally calmed down to allow us to travel in peace without worrying about this terrain bogging us down.
We kept marching north to the city of Chambonny to gather more troops and hire the dogs of war there to help bulk our numbers up.
After another week of travelling up north to Chambonny, we gathered another 8,000 men into our army making our army into 20,000 strong.
After this painstaking march, we finally got to the city of Chambonny to hire the dogs of war to bulk our army up.
Chambonny itself is a small city near the edge of quenelles and is a trade hub for the dukedom of Quenelles. Because of the location of the city many traders , peasants , knights and more come to earn their luck from the city.
The city is near the dukedoms of Parravon , Bastonne and Montfort so lots of people come to the city. People from the empire even come to Chambonny to trade their wares and services but even stranger some dwarfs have made small district for themselves.
With all these people in the city trading and selling their wares brings in a lot of wealth for the city but that then brings in the evil of the world.
Bandits attack caravans coming to trade with the city , Orks raid the outskirts of the city , Skaven attacking by the underground sewers and whole types of horrors plaguing the city.
To combat this threat the lord of the city Philippe Clair has a massive host of men to protect the city and he has about 10,000 men strong. But even that cannot keep the city safe most of the time so he decided to hire dogs of war to help the city.
He paid a new district of the city to house many dogs of war he hired to protect the city and now there are whole groups of mercenaries that live in the city now working for the lord or working for the other lords in the local area.
as my horse marched forward at the front of the army I see the lights of Chambonny in the distance.
I shouted at my men "Thank the lady of the lake were finally here" there were cheers from the men since they finally reach their destination after gruelling travelling conditions.
Let's just hope the mercenaries we hire don't stab us in the back
