Novgorodian Diaries #9
"We decleared a war. War, that will change everything in our simple, yet, colorfull lifes. Lithuania was an obstacle for us from the very beggining of our golden era of grow. From the time of our glorious conquest of Moscov, we, people of the Novgorode, were looking behind, to spot the silent watcher, that was Grand Duchy. While we waited, to not be spotted as aggresor, and we plesed to be on the tearms of friendlyness with them, they refused to aknowleage it. They betrayed us, they laughted at our straugle. They watched, as our lands burned. Now, we wait no longer. With the declaration of this act, we will meet on the battlefield. We will claim our justice, our pain will be bringing death to the now our enemies. We, people of the Novgorodian Republic, are going to fight."
"The war started with our forces, united under our Knyaz, layed sige to the ally of the enemy, Tver. Our way was decided, that we, soldiers, will burn the place to the ground.
It took us 55 days to lay claim to their castle, but, in the end, the given way to loot with free, was satisfying to give us idea for fighting this war. We wanted blood of our enemies, for that will give us open way to their goods." - War Scribe Ilarion Petrovich.
"Battle of Vielikiye Luki was a prove, that our forces are highly capable of fighting in a modern, eastern style of combat. I talked with a good sir from Swedish Kingdom, Joen Marklund, my personal enemy and a gentelman for discussion, and he argue, that even with the modern weapons and tactics, we will be unable to withstand the way of Lithuania. The first battle prove him wrong. I will wait for him of course, he must offer a drink as a defete. Oh, the russian way of thinking. Always good to get you drukn." - Military advisor from the Kingdom of England, Gabriel Alard, observering first battle.
(Damn, i wish i had a x3 speed in video)
"Sebezh, Polock, Viciebsk. Nothing will stand on our way. If only our general ordered, we would march on the capital of our enemy. Let our victory continue!" - Unknow Soldier's note.
"What do you expect when planning the sige? … plan the easies and most efficient way to enter the city, raise the fort to the ground, or at least, make your enemy surrender fast. Well, get all of this, and throw it away. That was Smolensk. Those bastards lied to me, when thay said, we will deal with it fast. I have to get myself drunk, or i will slash this bastard with the first thing i will find" - Sige Commander, Lubomir Stalin Tarasovich.
Notable quote was also found while on the march after forces from moscov. It was, for some reason, very funny to say repetivly by our troops. The quote was found to be
"Why are you running?! Why are you running?!".
There was no notable words found about the battle of Vyazma. Every one was so happy, that they forgot to write the report on this. It took me much time to get to know, what happend there.
31 of March, 1482 was day that the peace deal was sight. Our realm spread, by the new lands, and we demanded an amnesty on the land we claimed once or was claimed by the enemy administration. Of course, the day land was added to our realm, our administration already read a reports on it and decided to start a procces of placing our administration there.
There was also a small document, that was an offer from a local lord from a land of lithuania, that open our eyes to new posibility. As our administacy improved, he asked if we will be able, in the future, help him in creation of his independent kingdom. He offered to be a vassal under us, as long as he is autonomus in his way. Knyaz did not responded there, but talked with him for some time. He claim, that Lithuania might have a new problem in a future.
Well, that's all for this. I also offer, if you wanna sugest a name, for me or use in this chapters, comment down below.
