>>5641775>>5641846>>5642072Of course, you are wise tacticians like Gaucher de Châtillon. And yes, having a Templar with us is a blessing.
===========
You struck a blow to the first enemy, he tried to protect himself with it's wooden arm. He then scratched you with his wooden claws but your chainmail protected you completely, they were powerless against you. You remembered then a battle that your father told you about, the accursed germans had the upper hand because of their better armor until one of the frenchmen told the men to hit them under the armpit where there was a gap, and it was a slaughter. Here you saw a weakness and screamed.
-Those without axes, hit the claws ! The claws ! They are easy to cut with swords.
And it was done, still screaming prayers and extracts from the holy scripture the templar Louis struck true, cutting the claws of his opponents that snapped before his sword. Godefroi dropped his mace and unsheathed his sword and did the same, the rest hit with axes, only Ancel fell back to the center of the formation. You pushed your ennemy with your shield and then got him between the eyes with your axe that became full of glowing green blood. You let loose a mighty battlecry.
-Montjoie ! Passavant li meillor !
It was the old "cri d'armes" of the bannermen of Champagne, they rallied to their counts under this cry, it meant "Let the best enemy come before me" it was a challenge, a challenge to the enemy leader, but she was a coward, what else to expect from a tree log who took the form of a woman ? No, druids and brigands had no honor, you will have to get her first. You struck at the neck of an ennemy, piercing her bark and covering your axe with more green blood and you finally saw the witch that talked to you before you. But before you could do anything a druit without claws tried to rush you and tackle you with his heavy weight. Fortunately a knight was always trained in wrestling and when he gripped you (and it was hard to do without his claws that served as fingers) you had no trouble redirecting his strength and making him fall, even if when you tried to trip him you probably got a bruise on your leg, tripping something half made of wood was harder than with men. The claws of the main druid hit you but your chainmail and gambeson protected you and she screamed.
-Barbarian, vermin, profanator ! All the forest will turn against you !
Your answer was radical.
-Forests do not think, they cannot turn against someone, and one day this place will be domesticated, changed into fields where baptized children will play and help their parents work for their feudal lord ! And at the place of your oak where you commit sacrifices we will build a church ! Hah !
