A messenger arrives from the east with word from Thomas.

The enemy has been engaged and defeated before Magdeburg. Their troops, having been ransomed for over 1800 florins have fled into the city.

I wish it could be said that my own losses were minimal, but the truth is that they were not. Further, I had intended after the battle to send a spear company from my position to the honorable Prince Henri, but my forces are quite unable to move

(OOC, they can't move).


This was a miscalculation quite unintended. The garrison of Frankfurt consisting of a spear and archer company are some miles west from my position and I am sending word to the prince that both companies are at his disposal if he wishes. My own reduced army has besieged Magdeburg so that no additional troops can be raised against us from this castle. We shall maintain our grip on this place for as long as God allows.

Thomas
