Henry and his second wave of forces stood upon a hill, watching a small band of troops emerge from over the horizon toward the battlefield. Knowing that his neutral neighbour, DaBomb, always blew a horn before an attack, Henry assumed the party was hostile, and marched toward the mine, leaving several archers upon the hill. Fortunately for DB, the mine was hidden by a thick forest, and the entrance sealed up by several boulders. Henry marched past, with no idea of the riches he literally stood on, and made his way toward the enemy.
His army consisted of 110 longbow archers, and a massive cavalry of 200. Troops with dual daggers stood in behind, waiting for the attack. When the enemy forces came into range, his archers fired.

Well my Main base is in Great Britain but I have several other bases in key points throughout the world. I don't know if it was stated earlier but if I may ask, where is the current battle taking place? Just asking out of curiosity. But anyways I have a nearby base near the mine. That gold will be mine. -------------------------------------------------
Kid's small military arrived near the mine and saw a horrible sight. It was hidden in a deep forest and was sealed with a boulder. Worse, DaBomb's troops (or perhaps one of his allies?) were already there trying to mine the gold. They spotted the small kidgame attack force marching in the direction of the mine. Knowing that the gold could only belong to one army DB's troops got into an attack position. Kid saw this and stayed in the rear out of everyones attack range. He gave the order for the archers and crossbow men to open fire and a volley of arrows and crossbows were sent towards DB's men. Most of the arrows hit and impaled the troops which fell over instantly. Some of the horses nearby were also hit with arrows which sent the horses into a rage as they kicked their riders off and ran into the other horses and knocked over several of DBs militia and other troops. Kid saw the opportunity and told his militia men, the swordsmen, and the knights to charge forwards and attack which they did. Seconds later the battle began and kid's troops were fighting DaBombs troops or whoever it was. Unfortunatly both sides were taking great casualties. Never the less both sides continued fighting.

I own about half of Northern France and a portion of the West coast (where Nantes, my main base is near to). Charlot has territory bordering mine, as does Antoine and Henry II. Henry has the largest force, followed by myself, then Charlot, and finally by Antoine. Together we own about 30% of France, and the rest is owned by a fuedal lord or by the crown. ---
Kid's forces were fierce and well trained, but with only 25 archers and 125 footmen, they were a breeze against Henry's much larger attacking force. It was fortunate that Henry had planned to attack Charlot at this time, because attacking the Duke would require huge forces; those huge forces were now attacking kid.
Henry charged at an axeman, deflected a hit, and slashed him across the belly. He pulled a small dagger from his boot and hurled it at another axeman. The latter collapsed to the floor with the blade in his forehead.
"Archers, fire!" Henry yelled, and immediately longbows began to fire arrow after arrow. "Prepare a volley!" Henry cried, moving his forces back to the hill, and leaving his cavalry to finish off the few remaining forces.

The sword wielding crossbowmen made little difference, and were in fact torn up by Francos infantry, taking few with them. However, this gave Commandos troops time to strike. With new moral, they stabbed, hacked, and slashed at their enemies, spewing blood onto the already red grass. A few of Francos weary troops began fleeing the scene, and Commando ordered the knights with him to pursue them.
The fleeing troops were not fast enough to outrun mounted knights. The armoured warriors on horseback slashed at the cowardly opponents with blades and stabbed with lances, dropping the retreating foes like blades of grass. Commando watched with glee, until he realized that the main battle was heading in his diection. He stood up with his sword withdrawn and ran into the fray shouting.
Jumping in, he hit an enemy footknight with his sword. The blade hit the mans armour, and broke in two. The angry footknight raised his two-handed sword above his head, about to kill Commando, whena wounded crossbowman on the ground, in a last breath of life, pulled the trigger on his weapon. The bolt pierced the footknight, and the opponent collased backwards. Commando took the sword from him and went after the other footknights, who were the biggest problem to his spearmen.

DB walked up to the mine entrance, after several peasants had pulled away the stones acting as a barrier. Henry's forces had dirven Kid's attack away, allowing DB to saftely move in. His workers were already mining with much zeal, while his troops were setting up a camp and perimeter. Hopefully Henry would unknowingly protect them from any threats.

Kid muttered upon having had most of his force killed. Kid had to retreat as did the remaining soldiers of his which were 11 militia men, 5 archers, 4 men on horseback, and 4 knights. They arrived back at the base shamelessly. The short mission was a failure. DaBomb had killed most of kid's small army and worse the mine was under DB's control and DB was collecting the ore.
Suddenly one of kid's advisors ran up to him with good news.
Advisor Jones- Kidgame! Good to see you back. So sorry to hear about your loss but I do have good news I'm sure it will cheer you up Lord Kid Game.
Kid- What is it? I just lost. Nothing ticks me off more then losing my elite royal and loyal soldiers. It had better be important jones.
Jones- It is. We have just found out some good news about that mine that DaBomb took over. Believe it or not you don't want that mine.
Kid- So I don't want the mine because DaBomb took it over? That makes no sense. I will fight back until I have control of it. That ore is a valuable resource. I could be making lots of gold now but I'm not.
Jones- Well it appears that the mine is loaded with several kinds of natural deadly poisonous ultra toxic gasses. Duke Charlot the previous owner has spent lots of gold and soldiers trying to remove the gas but to no avail. The whole mine is full of gas. So DaBombs men are walking into their deaths. Within a minute of being in their the gas will kill anyone. So basically DaBomb is sending his own army to it's doom.
Kid- Hmmm that is good news. I have lots of gold and peasants. I may be able to rid the mine of gas but first I need to remove those filthy soldiers of DaBomb. Although it should be easy. If that mine really is full of poisonous, toxic gas, DaBombs men should all be dead by the time we get there. I'll just need to have those dead bodies disposed of. Perhaps we can use them as a substitute for fire wood. They should burn nicely. And then we can mine the ore and make lots of money and gold and some weapons and armour for the troops. I'm a bit tired and hungry after that fight. I'm heading to the messhall for a quick meal then I'm going to take a quick nap. Wake me up if you get any more news. And keep the military on full alert in case DaBomb followed me back here foolishly.

The miners suddenly ran out of the mine, screaming, coughing and spluttering. DB charged up to one such miner, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose hands were already getting a rash.
"What happened?" DB asked with urgency.
The miner coughed some more, while others emerged from the mine. "I...couldn't stop coughing! It smelled terrible!" He began to cough up blood.
"What..." DB trailed off. "Fine. I want everyone away from the mine immediately, and I want any gold to be recovered as quickly as possible."
Godl carts were quickly being trundled out of the mine, while other miners were being carried out limply. Marcel looked up to his lord with grey eyes. "We've lost 8 miners...2 are dying..." he mumbled, "We managed to get 4 mine carts out. That's only a tenth of the full gold in this mine."
DB gritted his teeth. "We'll sell it to Antoine anyway. But keep some spare, I need to hire someone..."
"Hire?" Marcel repeated.
"I'm going to find an assassin and kill off that leader who attacked Henry."

Commando brought his sword down on another footknight, breaking the mans heavy armour and sending blood everywhere. All around him his men and Francos troops fought. However, it was clear Commando was winning. By sending his forces outside the town, they were defeated. As Francos men slowly laid down their weapons, Commando yelled out for his men to spare them. They were rounded up, and brought to the woods. However, their commanding officer, a knight in light armour who had been waving a green banner, was brought to Commando.
Commando- Well Sir Jose, we meet again.
Jose- Go die.
Commando nodded, and Jose was bound, and put in a trebuchet's launch area. As the trebuchet went off, Jose was flung throughout the air, and over the fields and villages, until he slammed into Francos keep. Franco appeared in the window, and looked in horror at his seconds mutilated corpse at the foot of the keep. He yelled something at Commando, and then slammed the keep window shut. Commando smiled, and turned to the prisoners.
Commando- You will be spared, as long as you vow to become ciizens in my kingdom and fight for me if I call. Jose was an old enemy, who once tried to kill me. That was an eye for an eye. I do not intend to do the smae for you. Now, my troops have fought enough for one day. We will rest tonight, and tommorow storm the keep. And if any of you try and escape, you will suffer the same fate as Jose. Now good night.

Antonie sold the 4 mine carts of gold to Charlot for several puonds of salted meat, cloth, armour, seeds and weapons. DB knew that his enemy, Charlot, had had a good deal out of the transaction, but the gold mattered much less than what it had been traded for. When Charlot pulled his carts back to his fort, DB and his cavalry awaited.
The carts rolled over a gentle hill, revealing simple workers and a few guards. "Tell my cavalry to charge!" DB ordered.
"Attack!" Marcel shouted, and almost instantaneously the horseriders rumbled toward the carts. Suddenly, they began to topple over, many each second.
"Sir! Charlot tricked us! He has archers!" Marcel gasped.
"****!" he said, dumbfounded, "Tell all my forces to move in. And tell each archer I have to begin firing!"
"Are you sure?"
"Completely."
His cavalry charged at the archers guarding the carts, but many were taken down by the spray of arrows. DB few archers also began to fire, but their effectiveness was low. Even ground warriors began charging toward Charlot's forces, though they were being killed off with each passing moment.

Meanwhile at kid's main base over in Great Britain, kid was having his soldiers train and was giving them drills to complete. Of course most passed with flying colors and of those that failed they were told what they did wrong and were simply allowed to try again. He had also gained some more reinforcements of around another 100 footsmen, and about 25 people skilled in the art of archery since they had completed the Elite class at the archery school. There were also 30 more knights which trained both on foot and while mounted on horses. They were skilled with whatever weapons they had. Several more base defenses had been build up including 10 more catapults scattered around the base, and 3 small bunkers where several people would be in and try to surprise any incoming enemy troops.
Meanwhile over in France where DaBomb was located, the Feudal lords and the kings in the area were getting angry at DaBomb. He was doing much better then they anticipated and each day DB was gaining more territory while the feudal lords and the kings lost territory. It really ticked off the kings and lords who began making a plan to take out DaBomb and wipe him off the map. Worse, they found out about DaBombs little trip at the gold mine and were angered to have found out that he took some of the gold that actually belonged to King Richard the third. There were some other gold mines near the one DaBomb had but they were hidden. It would be disastrous if DB had found the other mines.
King Richard III, told several of his military advisors to gather up his best generals. It was time for Richard to have a meeting with his generals about ridding France of the wretched DaBomb. Richard wanted his gold mines back and he was intent on taking them back from that scoundrel DaBomb. Within an hour Richard, 5 military advisors, and 25 of the best top ranked generals were in the war room. They began talking and planning possible strategies for defeating DaBomb.

DB's men had not even reached the mine carts before 1/3 of their forces had been killed by arrows. It took another 60 lives to get into sword-swinging range of the enemy archers, but at that point the batlte had already been lost. DB was up onto his horse, and was slicing of heads, but the majority of his knights were not as successful. One was hit 3 times in the knee, the calf and the stomach before he collapsed over and began to bleed to death. Another was taken apart by more arrows, and fell dead to the ground with 4 arrows in his torso.
DB cut down another foe, leaped from his horse and found the bow of his victim. He drew back the thin string, his muscles straining, and finally fired an arrows directly into an archer, killing him instantly.
His men began to ransack the cart for gold, but many were killed before they could escape. DB finally called for a retreat, after losing 70% of his men compared to killing 30%. His men dashed back over the hill, toward their Nantes base. Only 8 pounds of gold had been reclaimed.
***
Normandy had never been completely DB's, but he owned a massive chunk of the most rich and fertile land, plus 2 gold mines on the Western coast. Unfortunately, his enemies were becoming much more aggressive, and his own borders were not holding with much strength. He ordered that any man over 20 should be trained as an archer, and asked for all schools to begin teaching swordplay to 17 years-olds.

(Yeah my base is in the country of great britain. Now as to what city it is in, I cant tell you cause I dont want my precious base getting destroyed.)
Meanwhile kid's base in great britain was getting even stronger. He had received more reinforcements, not that he needed them. He had received a group of archers, some knights and more militia men. He had his engineers working full time at building capapults for attacking enemies with rocks, and walls for more defense. Kid's base was nearly impossible to get into.

Kid had also been busy claiming more territory. Slowly and steadily he was getting more land and territory and expanding his base. He now possessed around 75% of Britain and it was only a matter of time before all of it was his. Along the way he encountered some nameless enemy units but once they saw the size of kids army they gave up and joined kid's massive ever growing army. He was getting more and more reinforcements of rogues and rebel soldiers. They had tried to revolt against the king of britain (which was nearly dead after kid attacked the castle but failed due to some errors), but they joined up with kid.
Of the rebels joining his team kid had acquired several thousand more militia and around 500 rebels. He also got around 300 archers, 100 pikemen, 150 longbowmen, and around 300 shield bearers to help defend everyone else. He also got several more engineers in his army which were happy to build war machines in the form of catapults (to attack enemy troops with fire boulders), ballistae (a sort of arrow shooting weapon to shoot at enemy troops from a long distance), and some odd thing kid didnt know the name of, it was some kind of pole vault or something it looked like. An engineer told him it was good for clamping onto enemy walls so the soldiers could bypass the walls by climbing over them and that there was a small chance of knocking down the wall section.
Kid even managed to find a group of scientists and engineers which worked together to give kid some new technology, the cannon. It was a long range weapon that fired black powder cannon balls. Thanks to the scholars at several of kids university and the scientists at several laboratorys, it was possible to build the cannon. A few scientists and engineers gave the blueprints to the weapon smiths and armorers on how tol make cannonballs. Since they were still experimental however, kid had 15 cannons made which were strategically set around his bases. He had 150 of the cannonballs made and had 10 cannonballs delivered to each cannon.
He had the new technology, but the question was, "Would it work"? He had to use caution as he didnt know if the machines would backfire, nor did he know the range on these new weapons. Would they manage to destroy countless amounts of enemy troops, or would they be duds and an item that didn't work? There was only one way to find out and that was by testing them. Of course everyone was eager to see what the cannon was capable of. So the engineers, scientists, armorers, weaponsmiths and others were out to see the test firing. The engineers told some of kid's soldiers how to work the cannon, how to load it, fire it and other important info.
The soldier loaded the cannon with a cannonball and was told to aim at a small abandoned building around 300 feet away. He adjusted the aim, compensated for the slight wind gusts, and fired. The cannon let out a loud "BOOOOOOM!" as it fired the cannonball. The cannonball flew threw the air and smashed into the building, letting out a brilliant explosion.
It was final. The cannons worked great and would be used to shoot at any incoming troops. Kid immediately ordered the cannons and cannonballs to be mass produced. He had a new weapon and he intended to use it as much as possible. Of course kid was informed that the cannons took needed to be cleaned often, reloading took several minutes, and that sometimes the cannons would backfire or might not work at all but that was a small chance. His word was final and thousands of cannons were in production.
