Fair enough.

Also, stats should be updated.
(I think the problem was that the front page stats were still from update 3. that's been corrected.)
 
My stats aren't fixed
 
It is hard to trust Pirates, is what I meant. Are you claiming the Armenians are liars who are attempting to cause war?

I am claiming that you are a liar, attempting to divert our attentions or make us out to be heinous threats to the world, and stir up wars in far away lands for your own perverse intentions. Desist this slander immediately.

You are fools. And you deserve the destruction that will come upon you one day for being such fools. :nono: a man of god, a true man of god, does not lie. Perhaps your negativity is proof they are the ones telling the truth. Your attacks will all be slaughtered.


The pope doesn't go around bashing others. His care is for the people, and their faith, as well as his own survival and the survival of his flock. The only reason for the crusades back was the fact that thousands of Christians were being slaughtered and no one seemed to give a care. For the pope that is a most scary thought, care will be forced if not given freely. I still see you as a heathen/heretic deserving hell, but I don't on normal occasions go around saying that.

By My Decree, of His Imperial Majesty Clovis the First, Emperor of Rome, King of France, Protector of Savoy, Genoa, Tuscany, Naples, Aquitaine, and Venice, an attack on the City of Rome will be met with the might of God, the Empire, and all the souls of Christendom. God has spoken to me and if the Vandals were to land in Italy, then my armies would sweep over them and our arrows will blot out the sun. If the Vandals have no ill intentions to the Holy Father and the Empire he protects, then let him say now he has no intentions on the Eternal City. Furthermore, if any of the Moslim or Pagan nations deign to help the Vandals, then we will assure you that you will experience the wrath of the armies of Christendom.

Barbarian Pirate! Issue your apology to Myself and my vassals for your raids and cease them at once, or I will end them myself



 
It was dark when Peridor gave the signal. Quickly, and with well practiced steps, the armored men made their way out of the Barracks onto the streets of Bearn. On their maps were noted every single home, every single business, every single estate or property owned by the most radical of the Forn Sidr at Bearn, those who threatened to call Thor or Odin upon them ever other night.

Their armor silenced by rags, a pair of men readied themselves outside of each Forn Sidr doorway, whether they be radical or not. More men clustered next to the chosen victims; a ram, a pair of towershields, and several axes large and small, for hewing and throwing. Archers gathered on the streets, and buckets of hot sand were placed.

When the bells tolled for midnight, in time with its holy sounding of the twelveth hour, the rams begun. Within two or three hits each of the chosen doorways were shattered, and the towershields rushed in. Windows of shocked Forn Sidr opened to be met by a flurry of arrows. Back doors or Cellars, escape routes for the normal household, prove to be death traps as running Forn Sidr were cut down by the prepared axemen.

There were some resistance, but the towershield held the punishment while the axemen rushed inside, their blades cleaving through flesh and bone alike. Several of the moderate Forn Sidr opened doors or windows to try to understand the commotion, to recieve a faceful of burning sand, a kick indoors, and a slam of the door or window in question. No Catholic risked opening their door, for they have all heard the message at Mass, that of the Lord's Passover, and of Lot's Wife's doom upon looking at Sodom, and of the Faithful's victory over the heathen.

As the last of the chosen households fell, dead, all things of value in them are quickly gathered away- chests, ancestrial weapons, baskets and barrels of goods. The axemen chopped the designated timbers, causing the structures to collapse onto itself. As the hour passes to the second, reports returned to Peridor. With a nod, the hour, and the changing of the curfew, was sounded.

At that moment, buckets of pitch were tossed over each and every pile of rubble, and the bodies placed upon them. No burial for the heathens. A torch later, and the pile, a gristly sacraficial pyre to any Forn Sidr who somehow saw the scene, bursts into flames.

By dawn, all the structures owned by the most outspoken Forn Sidr simply disappeared into layers of dust, smoke marks covering neighboring buildings without burning them.

Peridor smiled. Men from the entire Barony were called, only the most faithful and trustworthy, trained for periods which turned from weeks into months, and who practiced their craft upon small villages. They were well trained, and it showed, for tonight, it went without a hitch.

As the shops opened and the Catholic population ignored the devastated lots, several curious Forn Sidr with burned eyes questioned their fellows about last night. All gave the same answer: The One True God smites those too wicked to be saved, those who are willing to do Satan's will on earth, to save the salvageable. These words are followed with sad looks as the Catholic neighbors slipped from their limp grasps and returned to buisiness.

By noon, there were over eighty converts to Catholicism at the local church: Success.

Peridor gathered his men and led them onward. To the next town, to cleanse the next region, and in his hands are two books.

One, the Holy Bible, which gave him the will and faith to move onward.

The other, the Librus Domini, which gave him all the details of his chosen victims; be they at home or traveling, be they peasants or merchants.

Be they targeted for extermination, or saved for later.
 
The soldier laid in the damp grass, waiting for the signal. The stories of the gods were lit up brightly in the sky as the signal was passed down the line. Suddenly, in the dark of the night, yells could be heard ringing throughout the dark field as the attack began.
-----
The man woke up to yelling and screaming and grabbed for his spear. He ordered his wife and son into the damp, muddy cellar underground as he went out to see what was going on. He left his home to see pure chaos and was knocked to the ground.
-----
The soldier ran into the man and they tumbled into the dirt. Traditionalist versus follower of Forn Sidr. They grappled in the dirt as the man broke his knuckles on the soldier's helmet.
-----
The soldier fell back as all he could hear was bells. All was a blur as he slowly recovered from the ringing. He had never fought a battle in his life, yet here he was, trying to kill another man who was trying to kill him.
-----
The man ran to get his spear and grabbed it with his good hand. The man went to stab the soldier who had recovered from his ringing head and had gotten up again. Suddenly, the man felt a jarring pain as his spear fell to the ground. He looked at the arm that had his good hand in dismay to see a fist mark where the mailed glove had struck him. Blood was seeping from the wound. In pain, he rushed at the soldier who sidestepped and knocked him down. The man saw the soldier's lips move but attacked again never the less with his shattered body. The last thing he ever saw was the soldier's mailed glove smacking him on the head.
-----
The soldier let the man pick up his weapon, sidestepped, and punched the man's arm so hard that the man lost his entire grip in his arm. He noticed the man gawk at the wound and get back up. He stated to the man, "If you want to live, take your family away from this village if you can." and the man attacked. The soldier hit the man as hard as he could on the forehead and the limp body hit the dirt path. He was in shock that he had actually killed someone and they found him sitting on the ground staring in fear at the dead man beside the man's own house. Little did they know that he was afraid of himself.
-----
Uchel Brenin Arnallt strode into the village and joined the slaughter. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the battle was over and the looting had begun. Screams could be heard throughout the black night. He looked up at the sky and took in it's beauty compared to the necessary chaos. "What shall we do with the village sir?" he heard Captain Clywig ask him. "Burn it to the ground. This 15th village should get them to come. If it does not, we will continue our work."


((Is this what you guys want for stories in this NES?))
 
The Duchy of Aquitaine proves itself no better than the Byzantines in the killing of those they do not understand.
 
The Duchy of Aquitaine proves itself no better than the Byzantines in the killing of those they do not understand.

The "Empire" of Armenia proves it self unable to understand the difference between outspoken "Rebels" who use religion as an excuse and "Religious Minoraties".

We have seen rebels be killed who used religion as an excuse, while HE has respected our true minoraties, our true tradition, and our true faith for they shall be converted by the word instead of the sword. Do not compare ourselves with the Byzantines, the Mad Emperor understood perfectly well the Orthodox faith, for he was raised from birth under that faith, and he decided to exterminate it. We have not changed our faith and killed those who didn't understand US; Byzantine did that. Bythonia did that. In those lands, Man thought themselves gods, but in truth God thought himself a man to save us all, and to smite has he has always the truly damned among us.

Besides, God Smited them. There are no evidence on the other way. No witnesses, only piles of rubble and ash from his almighty power. Ask any of my soldiers; ask all of them. They do not lie, and they will say that it was God's Might which destroyed our greatest foes for us.

SMITE EVIL, SMMMIIIITTTTTTTE EVVVVIIIILLLL!!!

"BRING OUT YOUR GRAIN, MILL UP YOUR GRAIN, IT IS MILLING SEASON" called out the miller's son, brining out the horse and wagon to the farmers, further away from Bearn, but not too far the enterprising Miller family. In his laps are two pieces of paper.

One was a tally mark where he can draw the symbol of the farms and tally the bags of grain from each farm.

The other is a list of symbols marked with red dye, those are the houses of the Forn Sidr. Just looking at it gave him shivers, but business is business.

The first family, the Foresters, were nice and catholic. Three bags of grain, three silver coins for taxes.

The next family was Forn Sidr. They gave one bag of grain but six silver coins for taxes. Mr. Gardener grumbled but didn't complain.

Miller was happy, the next three families were the Greens, the Underhills, and the Welldiggers, all respectable Catholics.

However, at the house of the Smiths, Mr. Smith cursed him after hearing he has to pay 16 coins in taxes for his four bags of grain. Miller felt sick and scared, but he held out his cross as a protection against the gigantic man. Then, he remembered what his father told him.

"Pay tax, or convert, for you complain, for you threaten the holy, God's Wrath shall meet you!" he cried.

Mr. Smith shouted two more times, then he looked back at what used to be Mr. Usher's house and field. There was nothing left of the house but a layer of ash: the field was plowed and trampled.

"Gods' Wrath" explained the little boy to the big man.

Mr. Smith sighed, "Stupid taxes, not worth it. Those gods are far away, while your God has done his miracles. I shall convert"

"Yay!" said the boy, marking a blue circle around the Smithy's mark, "Be at the mass tomarrow, lying is sinful."

The man grumbled, but cheered when he only had to pay four coins.

Miller continued on, feeling happy that he did his duty.

We never did anything of the sorts. We did precisely what you are doing except far more publicly and we only killed those who raised arms against us.
 
If Armenia believes that men, who wield weapons and wish to over turn a state should not be acted against just because they claim a religious pretense, then Armenia is not worth to maintain diplomatic relationships with. Despite many common goals and hopes, Aquitaine shall sever all diplomatic contact with Armenia until they make an apology concerning the Forn Sidr revolt in our nation.
