Duchy of Bretagne

Alain looks a little more serious and discerning for once.

"A question my lords. If I was to say, not lead the assault, would eizer of you be prepared to attack wiz just your two retainers and two ozer regiments of your choosing, zis season?"

[Andres]

Depends on the opposition, mon Duc.

Also, being the realist I am, I would also like to know if the ships would remain close by, so that, in a worst case scenario, I could retreat with the remainder of my troops.

I'm not in a hurry to meet God.

[AussieGiant]

"Zat is certainly part of ze reason I ask Thierry.

No risk no reward.

I can confirm zat I would leave ze ships zere for you to use if zings went badly, but ze opposition is as 'known' is it will ever be. Ze Scottish will begin zere siege next season.

We move now or wait."

[AussieGiant]

"I 'ave received important information which means we will attack zis season.

I will lead, Alexandre will join me. Thierry you will stay 'ere and defend Caernarvon.

Good luck and god speed to you all."

[Marcus Agrippa]

You lead I follow my lord. I shall see command in the future no doubt when you feel I'm ready.

[AussieGiant]

We shall be returning to Wales Alexandre. Ze English 'ave completely surrounded Dublin by sea and land. We 'ave no choice.

Given ze most recent comments in ze council I would recommend at least one of you petitions ze King for Caernarvon. It would seem only fair given ze blood we 'ave shed.

I will zen 'ead back to Rennes. Who ever is given Caernarvon should obviously stay zere.

I will speak privately wiz you all about ze coming council session soon.

God speed.

[Andres]

Thierry looks coldly at Alain.

It seems to me that I should have stayed with the King's army as I intended, but then I would have disobeyed a direct order from my Duc. Maybe I could have proved myself to his Majesty in battle and maybe then, he would have been a bit more favourable towards the Duchy of Bretagne, mon Duc.

Thierry shrugs.
