Medieval Total War-esque RP

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

And allow us to conquer Spain?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Spoiler:

Eight hundred men is not going to be enough to hold the Iberian peninsula.

*Sigh* Very well. They moved into Spain.

[Masked Pillow]

''Do not worry, Leo. May I call you Leo? We are brothers in war, after all. I may not be Christian, my people may worship our Old Gods, and Christians may not have been kind to us in the past, but this is here and now. Christians are my allies, my friends, and I have no love for the Muslims. They would seek to destroy my land, and to slaughter my people. I have no wish to see the Christian Empire fall.
I, and my men, are with you.''

[The-Shadow-One]

The smiling rat grinned at the words "what is in it.. For us?" he asked simply ignoring the obvious threat "you know that I seek to expand my kingdom and my army right?" and with his he started to tap on a table which was a signal for his guard to send a message to the Muslim Azeem

[POMC S117]

"If we fall, then Europe falls. We hold this continent together. We protect it from invasion.... But why are some of us sending messages behind my back?" Asked Leo. "We have spies in your very courts."

[Masked Pillow]

''Of course, I wish to help in this cause, but, you being the most powerful Empire, can grant me a few... favours, in exchange for full use of my armies''

[POMC S117]

"How about I don't annex Chudes?"

[Masked Pillow]

Spoiler:

What does that mean?

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

He means how about he won't attack you.

[The-Shadow-One]

"spies upon spies, I seek only for the best for me." the smiling rat said glaring at Leo "you'll be good to be able to survive the voyage to my lands, sea and storms, even if you do manage... Well we are in our element. Now I ask you again what is in it for me other than peace?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Spoiler:

Shadow, what was the message you sent me?

[POMC S117]

"You get to live on. You have nothing to offer me other than troops that I can easily draft in from other countries." Shouted Leo. "King Aidan has already pledged 600 troops. The Pope has sent me 600 also and the Bulgarians have 400 troops. The Francians have split their forces with 400 helping us."

[Masked Pillow]

''Leo, I do not work with your enemies, and I am no enemy myself. What good would come from declaring war upon me? All you would gain is several lost armies, and wasted resources.
In this land of war and strife, nothing is free.
What can I receive for my soldiers?''

[POMC S117]

"Protection. A powerful ally."

[The-Shadow-One]

"I will only plegde.. Half of what I came here with." the smiling rat stated "you obviously don't need much help from me, but I wish for a small part of land, preferably by the coast."
The letter was an update of what Leo said, but signed "I hope that you remember this, your friend and spy, the sly viper."

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

Hmmm... Writing a letter inside the palace.

A squad of spearman smashed into the room, wearing mean faces. They took the Smiling Rat from his chair and dragged him to he dungeon. "It appears that he was sending letters to the enemy. He will be killed."

[Masked Pillow]

''As well as the benefits of mutual peace, I wish for land.
In exchange for my armies, I want as much of Gotaland that your vast armies can procure for me.''
Fjell sat, astonished, looking on as the Rat was dragged away. After a few moments, he regained his composure and looked back at Leo.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

Nopes having a messenger note down what happened at the meeting and sending it off afterwards. Silly.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

"The smiling rat has been discovered," murmured Azeem. "I must do what I can to rescue him..."

[POMC S117]

"It will be arranged." Leo clasped his hands together. "But you must pledge 400 soldiers."

---

Spoiler:

Spies everywhere. And they would see the messenger.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

Really? Because ... The place this is in, is very easy to get out of relatibly, and only one person would be trusted with the letter, two at most.

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

We were in a Council of War. Anyone going in and out would have been checked.

[Masked Pillow]

''That's half my army!'' Fjell jumped out of his chair, but slowly sat down, thinking. Gostaland would prove useful, but he needed his soldiers. On the other hand, he did not wish to upset Leo, not after what happened to the Rat.
''It shall be done, but you will only have my men when the you start marching on the Muslims, or visa versa, no sooner. Oh, and I would be much obliged if you could capture ALL of Gostaland for me. I'm sure it would be no challenge for you.''

[POMC S117]

"But it would be a strain on resources. It will be seen to after the war."

[Masked Pillow]

''You can get me all of Gostaland after the war, yes, but I still want a part of it now. Consider it a deposit.''
