Dear friend,
I haven't wrote to you since I came back from the Boderlands. I was invited to join the archaeological team to Crusade Relic located in southern Boderlands. Hundreds of years ago, searing fires and mountains of dead bodies covered this mysterious land. However it has already became a land of nowhere.
1.Demesne Spearmen/ Spear Sergeants
Compared with eastern spearmen, Demesne Spearmen and Spear Sergeants has a shield with poor block capability however a longer spear that sometimes could even interrupted cavalry charge when units forming up to brace.
2.Squires
I tried so hard to excavate something useful however only found countless bones. Compared with eastern shortsword & shield units, Squires could attack while blocking enemies at the same time, which means they’re good at both attacking and defending. Someone told me that Squires suffered huge losses during the Crusade since this unit was once considered as the main force of Chivalric Units.
3.Men-at-Arms
One scholar in the archaeological team knew about all the background history and secrets of the Crusade. He told us that the main leader of the Crusade were royal knights from different western countries. The Men-at-Arms unit has well-made armour, tight formation and superior capability of melee fights. Besides that, they also could be trained to recover unit health, more powerful to survive in continuous fights.
4.Monastic Knights
According to old legends, Monastic Knights was known as a unit with dozens of horrible killers and undefeated warriors. What surprised us most was those battle records that Monastic Knights charged into enemies with their shining silver heavy armour, holding polished weapons or waving crusade flags. Hundreds of years ago, Monastic Knights have defended their homeland and conquered countless cities across the open world.
Story of Maltese Cross
When the Archaeological team was about to leave, one local resident shared this story with us.
There once was a plain called Cross Insignia in the west of Ungverija, a secret location where the Crusades gathering and lining up their units. There were hundreds of thousands of wooden stakes in the middle of plain, hanging cross insignia with different names engraved on it. It is said that once a young man from western europe took part in the Crusades, he set a wooden stake here to make sure other fellows could bring back his cross insignia and hang in the stake to remind his family that he already dead on the battlefield as a brave warrior.
As time goes by, more and more crusaders set their wooden stakes in Cross Insignia plain and most of them never came back.
Sometimes I would image that sorrowful moment when few old women went through bunches of wooden stakes, praying for their husband or son. After years of chaos, only two thing left for them, a cross insignia and a lonely homeland.
Now historians from different regions still have heated discussions about the Crusades. However I’ll be more willing to write down some stories of these brave crusaders. After receiving plenary indulgences from the church and taking a public vow, they just step into the chaos with their loyalty and faith.
Warlords, please rally your Chivalric Units to create more legends as a new generation of Crusaders.
