I believe it would be best if Chancellor von Kassel led the attack. He has exerted a great deal of effort to bring about the official Papal sanction on our Crusade. As the Kaiser will surely be the one to lead the final assault on Jerusalem, it is only fitting that the Chancellor be rewarded for his services by being given the honor of assaulting the Saracen fortress of Acre. I know this may be a disappointment to you, Hans, but remember that unlike Duke von Kassel, you are still a young man and have many years left to prove your worth on the battlefield. Indeed, the Holy Lands will likely need much generalship in the upcoming years. There will be ample opportunities for you to prove your worth on the battlefield.
