[Ramses II CP]

Good to have you back in the saddle Chancellor Arnold! One small matter, there are a few rebels blocking the trade lanes north of Frankfurt. I could ride south from Arhus and be in position to deal with them in the next campaigning season. I don't believe I could reach them this year.

God has granted you succor from your hideous illness. I pray he does the same for all of us.

It good to be back Fritz!!

We do seem a little disjointed at the moment. The Kaiser is within striking distance of that rebel force and I was thinking of asking him to take care of it. However I assume he is going to want to mak all haste towards his Army commanded by Hugo de Cervole. BUT, it would be far better if Hugo de Cervole headed back down and across the face of the Alps through Milan towards Swabia. This way he would block an approaching French force, destroy it and then continue on.

If they chose to do this Fritz then I would then ask you to do as you have suggest. I will wait for word from Hugo de Cervole and the Kaiser before taking any action though.

Exactly what I had in mind if you will allow it, Chancellor,

I intended to go west from Innsbruck and then south of Bern in the Alpine valley there. this would allow me to go north towards Bern and Dijon or South towards Genoa and Milan depending on where that French army is heading...

Furthermore, once I have cleared Innsbruck, I require authorization to recruit the merc ribault asked for by Count Ruppel and send it towards Bern on the most direct route.

OOC: I am still unable to fight battles until the evening of Jan 5th. If Warmaster Horus is also unavailable, our army should be relocated to a nearby city for safety. Being besieged is not a problem, as I will be able to fight battles soon enough to break the siege. If Warmaster Horus is available to fight battles before me, follow his orders.

Welf von Luxemburg:

Chancellor,

I humbly request permission to take some elements from the force travelling with the Kaiser and together with local militia, confront the Poles marching on Nuremburg.

The Kaiser has privately communicated his assent:

Congratulations! Good luck on continuing the line of Kaiser Heinrich.

You have my blessing. Take as many of my army as you need as I pass by.

Your servant

Welf von Luxemburg


OOC: I will abide by the rule governing non-knightly characters fighting battles, using the tried and tested Lothar work around.

The Chancellor:

Hugo de Cervole and Welf von Luxemburg please go ahead and make your moves as you have explained.

von Luxemburg, exactly which house do you belong to?

Lothar, if I haven't heard from Karolinger by the time the orders are due I will move you to Bolongna. That should make things interesting.

OOC: Welf von Luxemburg as his name suggests is part of Swabia
