Baston calls for aid against the Greenskins.
All the heralds within the lands of both Aquitaine and Bordeleaux announced such events to the citizens. Whispers quickly came into the air of the details of the engagement. How it was the Bad Axes tribe from the north coming down from the Grey Mountains and how Baston had already lost two Knights of the Realm when such warriors protected three villages in a valiant defence.
For those like Lucian who were the Men-At-Arms, the declaration was a call to war. From all across the hills and plains that housed the greatest grapes in the world men of all sizes and shapes came marching towards the fortresses of Castle Bordeleaux and Castle Aquitaine.
They were but Peasants gathering slowly, building up to a sufficient mass for the Barons and Dukes to place between their enemy and the Horses.
As he was a resident of Bordeleaux there was no need to head out and join the Peasants in their fields upon fields of tents. Even as war began to gather around him Lucian felt the sweat coming down from his brow as he sliced through the grasses that kept attempting to overrun the Garden of Morr and threaten to take over the land of the dead.
Every day he would go out for hours to meet with the his fellow Men-At-Arms and learn the tactics that will be instilled upon them by the leading Knight of the Realm. Such training was done outside of the city as the nobleman took over the entirety of Castle Bordeleaux for both prayer and penance.
“Your hands with a scythe are praiseworthy, Lucian.” Father Alister of Morr said as he walked into the gardens to look upon them, “I do not regret for a moment listening to my fellows in Aquitaine. We will miss you when you make your first trip upon the battlefield.”
Lucian placed his hand upon his face in the gesture of mourning as the Priest came to him, “I look forward to serving the Lord Duke of Bordeleaux in this. We will see what my efforts bring.”
“If there is anything you require of us from the Temple we will give it. I have heard that the march will start tomorrow.” He answered.
Lucian felt a tinge of surprise at the announcement but it made sense to him. They did not need to prepare the peasants that were ready to move within a moment's notice. The Priests of Morr, however, needed such information.
