Chapter 16 - True Diplomacy

The Riders Rode for 3 ta 4 hours sparing no heed to anything but getting to there intended target they arrived Tho Ryjins rider arrived a good 40 minuets faster The battle Had been Barely avoided once Ryjins Rider arrived Glen and Eva Knew something was up Wallace gathered them up to hear the riders new they had just finished Building the makeshift ladders Battering ram and Towers.

:Rider: I bring word from Lord Ryjin you are to cease all action at once he is heading here alongside the lord of this land and another Lord who wish to talk about terms and make a possible accord a rider has also been sent to there side He is yet to arrive lord Ryjins orders are to set up a makeshift War camp East of here closer to the First intended town of attack 3 lords are still there with roughly 30k soldiers he says the camp Mush have walls and Towers make it secure.

Wallace Glen and Eva are Surprised yet also Happy cause they don't have to wipe raze this town but they know them 3 lords who are still at that town They know Ryjin will hold his word on there lands Immediately the 3 issue orders to the whole army to relocate and make camp east of here closer to the other town.

The Defenders Commander is compleatly astounded the enemy army with Superior numbers has seemingly abandoned the siege and has left eastwards towards where there lord went to with the bulk of there army the commander was still cautious and ordered all defending soldiers to remain vigilant that was until a rider came bearing there lords message with seal and all.

:messenger: Message I bring Message from are lord Thomas All fighting is to cease and Stand down the lord and there lord are on the way here for talks and to come to terms all defenders are to stand down the other army should already of gotten there messenger Inform the Lady and his lords family that a diplomatic talk will be Undertaken here between are lord Thomas and Lord grey and also the new Lord Ryjin this is Our Lords order.

The Three lords that remained at the Targeted town where now in discussion the lord of this town Is Lord Roa the other 2 lords are Lords Bren and Krel they where now discussing what actions to take after lords thomas and grey left they saw how the enemy reacted and was hopeing both armies would fight to weaken all sides.

However it seems Lord thomas decided to try talking to this enemy army and they left together towards Lord thomas's land they each sent riders to watch and track them Lord roa talked to the other 2 1 of you should head to Lord Grey's lands now his lands are west of here he is away from his land so 1 should take it while me and the other stay here and keep the defence and also keep them from coming behind Witch ever goes to greys land.

Lord Krel was the Warmonger out of the 3 he said he would go and claim grey's lands and be back in 7 days the other 2 agreed and only asked for wealth and some food as spoils Krel agreed Krel left once talks where over.

a few hours after he left riders came back stating that an army numbering 8k witch includes that cav is heading here they have stopped a few miles west and have started building a camp the enemy lord has reached Lord Thomas's Town that's all we got my lord.

Bren and roa where not worried they believed there 26k army could easily deal with that Pissing rabble so they just ignored.

how they where so going to regret that Decision later on that was no rabble that was veteran Legions of different human armies some of the best in there era and field.

(Diplomatic talks)

So Ryjin was sat in a hall with 4 Heavy armour dismounted soldiers behind him as guards across from him was a very interesting Group of people 1 was lord Thomas the other Lord grey and here is the Kicker then there is lord Thomas's wife his farther and mother and his Daughter who is my age and Very beautiful.

:Ryjin: so lords Thomas and Grey we have come together to talk for terms and to hopefully make an accord I only have a few things if agreed then we have are accord.

:Ryjin: First I understand you only went there to help that other lord and this in turn resulted in us being enemy's (His family Focused when being enemy's was mentioned) so between us there is no bad blood so peace is most acceptable between us 3 Present.

Second If peace is agreed i request full access to your lands with my army to pass threw yours anytime this will also be extended to the both of u too so i am not asking for just myself and also a Ironclad Alliance Between the 3 of us.

Third i would also like to have Open trade between the 3 of us and also work on are lands infrastructure for roads and such.

I hope we can at least make 1 of the aforementioned can be a reality
