Casse aar: Legend of Arthus

[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.

Next Chapter: The Land of the Dragon

[Mr.Man]

The Land of the Dragon:

On our journey to the top of the world we heard of a land west of us, Rumours say that it is ruled over by a serpent of such a size that it could shake the very earth itself and that its wings were the size of mountains! Arthus was intrigued by this and decided that he would slay this so called serpent god, we marched for many nights until we finally arrived in the serpent gods land. We set up camp for the night by an entrance to a valley, as the sun started to set I noticed Arthus on a nearby hill overlooking the valley, he seemed to be almost scanning the valley for any sign for the dragon or its followers.

At sun rise we set off through the valley it took us a long time to get through it, when we reached the other side we came across a farm Arthus, me and 10 others of Arthus’s retinue rode to the farm. When we arrived the residents attacked us after seeing our banner, they must have known we were here to conquer them Arthus ordered us to bury them nearby. As we looted the farm for supplies a small boy ran at Arthus with a knife, my brothers simply laughed as the child ran past them at Arthus. Arthus quickly grabbed the boy by the arm and pinned him to the floor, Arthus suddenly picked up the boy at threw him to me he said take care of the boy and find out about the dragon.

Later that night we set up camp near a mountain side over looking flat plains that went on for as far as the eye could see, all of the chieftains were gathered in Arthus’s tent. We brought the boy in and questioned him about the called serpent god, the boy told us it was countless winters ago long before any of us were born that a serpent ruled this land. The god fell in love with a mortal woman and not long after a child was born, he looked human apart from his inhuman strength and cunning. Eventually the son wanted more power, so he fought his father so he could take his power and become even stronger.
The two thought for many nights until the serpent was slain. With his dying breath the serpent cursed his son so that with every generation his family they would loose more and more power and that they would for ever have a short life. Arthus let the boy go and gave him a message to deliver to his king, only one may rule who, will it be, the serpent or the wolf.

Many days later we arrived at the Serpents home where their so called god king resided, Arthus had us siege the city on the second day hoping that the king would ride out and meet him. One winter had passed, it was coming up to the second winter as the leaves started to fall, there seemed to be a lot of noise coming from behind the city walls, Arthus had us ready to meet the enemy on the battlefield.

Next Chapter: Wrath of the Serpent

[the man with no name]

Good job. I have a recomendation, which is that you make your updates longer.

[Mr.Man]

Wrath of the Serpent:

Our army was positioned in the open waiting for the bloodshed, the enemy army was marching at us but their king wasn’t in sight! The enemy charged our lines hoping to break our brothers but we were veterans of many battles and we would not be pushed back by such a flimsy charge. The battle was fierce, no one was giving ground I cannot remember how long that lasted it seemed like days, When ever we killed one of the enemy there was always another to take his place. I charged forward and severed a man’s head; almost instantly another man took his place I could tell this wasn’t going to be an easy fight. Two enemy champions charged me, both swung their swords at me franticly trying to slice through my limbs; I deflected one and avoided the other I lunged at once cutting his through his shield and slicing him across his chest his guts spewed out all other the floor, the battle cry’s drowned out his screams of agony. As I looked up I realised why there were so many there whole army was focusing on breaking through the middle, it was possible the most stupidest thing any warrior could do, we could easily surround his army and cut them to pieces, yet why did he choose such a stupid tactic?


Arthus took this chance and charged the army around their sides, this would not be a battle it would be a massacre unlike any other. As the left flank of the army come around to attack suddenly some troops split off from the main battle and charged the left flank in an attempt to delay them. Our line began to falter under the sheer number of the enemy warriors there was just no end, one warrior charged me, he threw his axe at me which I blocked with my shield and then quickly brought my sword straight down on his head. Another man took his place and came straight at me, I stabbed him in the gut but he just walked through the sword as it came out the other side of him he fell on me. The man was no longer breathing so I shoved him out of the way, I shoved the next man back into his brothers knocking many down, and my brothers picked them off easily.

The men they had sent to try and stop most of our army was smashed to pieces as the chariots rode through, our brothers slammed into the side of their army with veracious strength smashing many to the floor from the charge.


Arthus commanded me to pull the brothers back around me as our line was shattered, as I turned to get away from the fight I felt a soaring pain across my back and fell to the ground, as I turned to look up I seen a man about to bring his axe upon my face when suddenly a javelin smashed him in the face and blood went everywhere. As I looked behind me my brothers came to get me back on my feet, me and my brothers waited momentarily so we could catch our breath back and cover our wounds.

The enemy general came to the aid of his men in his chariots; Arthus noticed this and had sent his chariots and the slingers at them to eliminate the biggest threat to his men on the battlefield, the so called serpent demi-god. It was an amazing sight to behold the chariots smashing into each other, the skirmishers dragging the charioteers off if they slowed down and hacking them to pieces. Arthus’s chariot smashed the wheel of the enemy king’s chariot; the enemy king flew from his chariot crashing into the ground, Arthus leaped from his chariot and drew his sword awaiting the enemy king to do the same, I was about to witness the clash of two great warrior kings.
