King Salier, Kaiser,

My Lords,

I understand your points entirely but please note Lord Zirn is my vassal therefore he is under my command. I'm not sure how that works in Outremer but no Duke in the Reich believes he has lost a noble due to them simply being located in the East.

Likewise Wolfgang Hummel is certainly not Austrian, however he is unknighted and therefore can not lead an units into battle. The comment was simply to ensure there is some understanding.

Duke Arnold

Conrad Salier:

I have no doubt that Lord Zirn is your vassal and still under your command. However, as a Crusader Count, your command over him is somewhat limited. You can call him back, certainly, but you do not control his movements. Currently Lord Zirn is leading an Imperial force, and is thus subject to the Kaiser and the Kaiser alone's command.

Remember, the only armies that Dukes (and Kings of Outremer, for that matter) control are the House Armies.

I also question why Iconium is to be taken. I do not recall any Edict calling for its capture. I also know that it will not become part of Outremer, because the Kingdom is complete.

There is an Edict calling for Iconium's capture and to have it granted to the Byzantine Empire, King Salier.

Arnold:

Considering he was not being utilised until I made comment, this whole thing has had the desired effect. At least he is now involved in Outremer which was certainly debateable up until this point.

I certainly also am concerned that Iconium is being targeted for attack. There is no edict authorising this as far as I know. Péter von Kastilien, can you name the edict for clarification?

**gibsonsg91921** · 07-03-2007, 23:59

Verily, Duke Arnold, 'tis Edict 10.5.

**Warluster** · 07-03-2007, 23:59

Question Duke Arnold? What question?

I believe Count Peter is right, was that your question. If not, I must've missed it I'm afraid.

Matthias belatedly responds to the Emperor:

Mein Kaiser, a sea passage may be risky, but I will take any route that gets me to Outremer as soon as possible. If it is overland so be it, but if there is a fleet available, I will take it.

Either way I wish to set out as soon as possible, as a Crusader Count, I should be in the Holy Land.

I have, somewhat, bad news about the Invasion of Sardina.

Recently I discovered, there is in fact already a fellow catholic nation siegeing the Settlement on Sardina.

A large Spanish army, with a large Sicillian Army nearby, is already siegeing Caglari. Unless the Spanish retreat, the invasion of Sardina is going to be either postboned or cancelled. Unless we want war with the Spanish.

Matthias speaks again.

If the Spaniards want Sardinia so badly, let them take it. We can't give away what we don't have. We should move on Corsica now, with enough men to sorround and eliminate that witch! Then, and only then, can we put paid to the Milanese.

I wish a great wave would consume both Islands, like Atlantis of old, but we must finish the job ourselves. Sorrounding the witch will be difficult (OOC: Moving men while having to deal with the Castle's zone of control) but it is doable. I doubt any of our priests can succesfully denounce the witch Danae.
