My heart surged with fear as my cavalry reached the towering walls of our neighbouring village. This was my last chance of redemption, to prove to my parents that I am not 'useless' or 'pathetic' and to show them that my life is better now that I am alone.

Our mission today was to conquer and to destroy, and then, to dominate the county to prove our strength to the world, I suddenly started to tremble with nervousness as piercing shrieks came from the inside of the village "oh no" I thought "sirens, they know we're here' but my army seemed unruffled by it, so we tentatively trekked on.

Suddenly, we spotted a row of men wielding crossbows. Without worry, I immediately bellowed at my cavalry to raise their shields whilst our other troops caught up to attack, a few moments later, I spot my longbowmen sprinting towards the action, their arrows seemed to be tipped with flames, glorious, burning flames. The cavalry retreated to regroup with the archers for optimal attacking results and we started to wield our swords, the fight was already ours.

************************************

After a while, our opponents were defenceless, we stormed the village plundering every shilling we could find and recruiting every blacksmith and soldier to join our army to start domination on the rest of the county. A few of our archers decided to settle down there to recruit more members for our army and to train others to use axes, longbows and maces. The rest of the army triumphantly traveled home to rest for more great battles soon to come as we begin our journey to become the greatest army of all.
