“Women and children to be sent east out of town, and you and your friends will be spared.”, the leader of the infantry said whilst removing his chainmail coif. The infantry stopped, they totalled about 100 in number….their leader marched up towards Gili and his aides. The horsemen were nowhere near the village as the infantry entered the green, that was one thing to be thankful for. The village hall was boarded up, muffled sobbing could be heard from within. The enemy forces were entering the village, Gili had one last glance around. Gili’s aides stood by him, totally 9 in total. Moments later Gili marched out of his home, and stood in the centre of the green. Inside could be seen his furs, his cutlasses and his gauntlets. Gili entered his home, marched straight down into the basement and crow barred open a crate. The horsemen rode down the valley side screaming obscenities at the top of their voices whilst waving their weapons in their hands. “Morice, send a messenger pigeon to our neighbours.
“All children to go to the village hall, with as much food as they can carry.” Gili paused, whilst heading toward his home, “Jherek, go with the children and board up the doors to the hall.” Then wait for my signal”, Gili said whilst examining the surrounding terrain and buildings for tactical advantages. “Quick, we’ve got about 30 minutes until they reach us I want all to set up in the houses surrounding the village green…armed yourselves with any weapon, or makeshift weapon you can muster. This could be heard from their battle cries as they advanced toward the village. “But…they appear to be very badly equipped.”įrom the base of the valley a horn can be heard, the ever-increasing crowd turned to see an unmounted army marching toward the village, this army could be here for one “I can’t make out any banners or flags”, Gili pulls the spyglass from his eye.
Moments later Gili was handed a spyglass. “Spyglass…please?”, Gili said whilst squinting in the sun to make out the heraldry of the horsemen. Gili rose from his comfort, on the grass. The laughter had stopped, people had gathered around their leader Gili. The village was enjoying the SpringFest merry laughter filled the air.Ĭresting the valley side a large number of horsemen arrived.
Their men had all put down their weapons and now worked the land, only on occasion taking up arms to battle heathens unfortunate enough to stumble into their hideouts.įor several years the Bandit Lords had pursued their own agendas, until now…Īt the base of the Valley, Gili was sitting at the green of the village square, children frolicked amongst the grass and the nearby brook. The bandit lords had withdrawn from the holy war, returning to their lands of origin, the seemingly never ending battles against the forces of Barnabas had proved nothing.
