Casse aar: Legend of Arthus

[Mr.Man]

The Midland Demons:


It has been 3 winters since we attacked the dumnones ever since we have improved their farms and gave them dirt paths, many of them wanted to help us, to join Arthus on is campaign to unite Britain. When the army was able to regain its losses more chariots were taken with us this time, the farther we went the more tribes we subdued and when we asked them about the midland champions they looked at us with fear. They told Arthus that he was not up against men, but demons with strength equal to none and that they were the cause of death for many great warriors.

I and 3 other high ranked warriors tried to convince Arthus he turned around to us and said. Out of all my brothers there are only warriors if you do not have the courage of a warrior then you do not deserve to be called a warrior and should not be among my brothers. When he looked at me I swear to the gods he did not have the eyes of a man, but the eyes of a wolf it was at this moment I remembered what the druid said to me so many years ago. So I agreed with Arthus and convinced the others to follow him but it was unsettling that when ever we mentioned the midland champions that they all coward in fear just from there name. Surely there was no way the rumours could be true about them being demons in the shape of man? I talked to Arthus to try and put myself at ease about the matter. When I spoke to him I asked him surely these are just rumours to scare us that these men are demons Arthus turned and looked at me for a moment, that’s when I noticed his grin.

Dear friend there is nothing we cannot overcome, even the rough seas of the south could not stop our ancestors to reach this land. If these beings are demons then we shall overcome them and prove that the steal is far mightier than a few demons so put your heart at ease.

The next morning we came across the home of the Coritanes who were the so called demons, we quickly laid siege strangely it seemed like we were back at Ictis the home of the Dumnones, but we were up against a far greater opponent. When winter came around we prepared for battle as we were about to witness the full wrath of the midland demons brought down upon us.

I do know how to take screenshots and post them on the internet i just didnt have any decent pictures as i won my battles to easly becuase the AI is so bloody stupid lol.

[Vasiliyi]

Consider using a harder battle difficulty? Or try some mini-mods in the sub-forum. They do make the AI less "stupid".

The Midland Demons (part 2)
As our men lined up ready for battle in the freezing cold, the gates swung open and spewed forth the midland demons, I swear when those gates opened the air itself froze, the men were faltering at the sight of these monsters. Arthus rode to the front once again and I expected nothing less from such a man but he did not come forth to give a speech, he charged the enemy lines alone!! Arthus through a javelin at one of the champions and struck him in the chest he lay their bleeding, Arthus came back to the troops and his words destroyed all fear of the champions. Men there is no need to be afraid, these are not demons they are humans there blood is as red as any of yours If they are demons then they die as easily as any man. As if by some kind of sorcerer the whole army was in a frenzy once again but the thing that made me uneasy was these foes didn’t even flinch they just marched at us as if they knew no fear.

They charged our lines in a frenzy but we held our ground, many brave warriors were cut down in almost an instant, their armour was tougher than any of ours. One swung for my head I barely blocked it has his sword scratched my helmet and made a terrible screeching noise, as he drew his sword back for another strike I quickly lunged my sword into his chest only to find it had been deflected by his armour. The next strike from the champion had sent me flying backwards knocking a few brothers down with me I scrambled back to my feet only to be knocked down again by the champion. I was starting to see why they were called demons this strength is inhuman, our line was starting to falter, I scrambled back on my feet once again and struck the champion as hard as I could and hit his sword out of his hand. The champion weapon less used his shield to smash me round the face and once again I was on the floor, the champion dived on my beating round my head with his shield I thought it was over until a brother came behind him and severed his head. I held the line with my brothers we refused to be pushed back anymore this was when I noticed a battle that stood out in the battle field, Arthus charged the chariots at the enemy chieftain and his champion guards. The chariots smashed into the chieftain’s retinue crushing many champions, Arthus threw his javelin at the chieftains chest, amazingly a champion dived in the way to save the chieftain. Many warriors leaped off the chariots and slaughtered some of the champions with ease, it almost seemed as if the warriors made a hole where none of them would go as Arthus and there chieftain stepped into it.

Arthus threw his axe at the chieftain taking a chunk out of his shield, Arthus quickly picked up another axe from a dead brother and swung for the chieftain. His axe bounced off the chieftains large shield knocking both back before they both charged each other again, the chieftain swung for Arthus’s head taking one of the horns on his helmet clean off as he ducked. Arthus quickly arose and cut the chieftains shield in half. Arthus took his chance and lunged his sword into the chieftain’s leg and then struck him in the chest with his axe but the chieftain charged Arthus fatally wounded. It was amazing both warriors refused to die Arthus unarmed broke the last horn off his helmet and used it as a weapon charging the chieftain once again dodging the axe blow and ramming the horn into his throat. When the body of the chieftain fell, it seemed as if the battle almost stopped as everyone knew who had won between the two warriors. There whole army had dropped their weapons and bowed down to Arthus declaring him there new king, with this battle Arthus had on his side the most deadly fighting force in Britain. We had won at a high cost, many brothers had fallen to these champions the rumours were true they were unmatched in strength, with an army of these warriors one could be unstoppable.

It had been a long and tiring day from fighting the champions so we celebrated with food, women and drink it was a fun night the men were all having a wonderful time as we knew it would not be long until we set off once again. A few days later the chieftain turned up at the town we had conquered and offered Arthus his daughters hand in marriage with this Arthus would be next in line to rule the Casse and with this he would have all the power he needs to unite Britain.

Yeah, you do need to work on your sentence structure, but other than that and a few gramatical errors, good job This is Arthus

[Mr.Man]

The wolf king:

A few days later news had reached us that our chieftain was killed on the way back home by those still loyal to the chieftain Arthus had killed; well that was the excuse. Arthus didn’t seem surprised by this almost as if he knew it would happen, some suspected him but many didn’t voice their opinions as it could possibly lead to be exiled from the tribe or worse!

Arthus returned to our homelands to be crowned the high king of the Casse and all those he conquered, many rejoiced as he was crowned as they believe he would untie the Britons. Arthus’s first act as high king was to redesign the armour and weapons for his troops, he told the armourers to carve the head of a wolf onto the helmets and shield. He soon redesigned the banner that represented the Casse, it was a wolf sitting on a hill looking up, none of us knew why he chose to redesign the banner in such a way but we didn’t question him. Soon after he demanded specially made armour for him, it was of the highest quality it was similar to chainmail but it was lighter, the scales were much smaller and there were many layers which made it tougher than normal chainmail. His gauntlets were thick around the top of the wrist, hand and a small part of the arm not even reaching the elbow, he had fangs graved into the gauntlets almost as if to represent the fangs of a wolf and that these were his fangs. His helmet was a bronze gold similar to what the champions of the Casse wore, it had a wolf head carved into the sides of it and at the very front it had Champion of Andastre carved into the helmet.

3 winters later Arthus was marching us for war once again, we were to bring all of the midland champions under our control, to do that we would have to go farther than any of us had been before and march to the end of the our known world or meet our gods trying.

enjoy
