The Quaili War

I

"It is really a stupendous, irritating thing isn't it, Barley?"

"I agree my highness. It is rather stupendous."

"But! Must I say, I never would have had expected that the Rumir Kingdom, the kingdom known for peace, straight advocating for it, would kill a Quail! Or, in this fact, many Quails! Oh please, Barley! These Rumir are but a sham underneath their imaginary 'peace' goal! Barley! Whatever shall we do!" Stated the highness.

"I am but a servant my highness. I serve and will serve for the betterment of my highness. But clearly you are distressed my highness. And must I say, that it is something I can relate to. For as I too am distressed by the Rumir Kingdom's recent actions betwixt us, our kingdom, and our animals! One mustn't not know that the birds, the Quail are one species that are important to our kingdom! And too are the Quail one species that is quickly diminishing, and that fact is supported, if not made worse by the fact that the Rumir Kingdom have been killing them!" –

"I say we declare war with the Rumir Kingdom!" Said he abruptly.

"My highness! Are you sure of what you are saying? War is a selfish thing! Our people might not like the idea of a war, especially with a kingdom as vile and as bird-killing as the Rumir!"

"I am sure of what I say Barley. These Rumir are but a travesty! We must declare this war. I am sure that our people will accept this. Call the Generals and let them plan! Call the soldiers and let them train, I shall prepare a magnanimous speech! For the betterment of the war!"

"Anything you say, I will follow my highness. King. Wilven II." Said he as he bowed.

Several days later, in the Rumir Kingdom's palace. A messenger knocks on the door of the King's bedroom, rudely, in the morning.

"My majesty! You must see this! You must hear what I must say, this is a matter of upmost urgency! A matter of urgency that I can say would be as worse as our wine stock empty!"

"What! What is this urgency that you must say? What is this urgency that requires you to knock on my door as early as the chickens have yet to crow! What is this urgency that is as worse as my wine stock being empty? Tell me now!" Exclaimed the King.

"My majesty, the King of the Quaili Kingdom has declared war! They're troops are already rallying up on move to our kingdom's walls, I heard!"

"What! You are ridiculous to say that this 'urgency' is as urgent as my wine stock being empty! Just ready up our Generals and our troops. It shouldn't be too hard, especially from a kingdom that likes stupid and endangered birds that much I'd rather call 'rare chicken meal' than Quail!"

"Anything you say, I will follow, my majesty. King Aunders IV." Said the servant whilst he bowed, in a way nervously.

From the Quaili Kingdom to the Rumir Kingdom's kingdom walls, did the soldiers, the knights in shining yet glittering iron armor, ride on their horses, walk with their feet, or sit on their carriages, bearing weapons like the spear, the iron blade as sharp as the tip of a needle, and bows, ranging from the crossbow to the war bow. And too did they bear armor and equipment like the shield and the cannon.

The Quaili soldier's morale were high and too were they determined. But the Quaili knights and the Rumir soldiers were in complete opposite poles. Whilst the Quaili bore iron weaponry and armor, the Rumir bore leather armor with all bearing copper or wooden swords, with many if not all of them being blunt, and only sometimes were they sharp enough to cut paper. The palace's knights however wore armor that faired up to the Quaili's standard army, but they were too few in number. And neither did the Rumir have many shields and many cannons unlike the Quaili's staggering amounts of it. And that Rumir's soldiers' morale were low and not as determined.
