I have embarked on a journey and found myself among the knights on Rhodes a small Island not far away from the Ottoman Empire....
I sat down and started to write down the history of the Knights that fought the Ottoman troops on water and land.
Goals:
Make the Knight a power to count with
Let the Ottoman Empire know that they don't have monopoly on the provinces in the Knights area. (I have)
My first report.
Year 1419 allied with Cyprus and the army contains of 9000 infantry and 1000 cavalry.
In the harbour is 14 ships waiting to go out and roam the ocean.
In the year of 1420 could our people celebrate the royal marriage between the Knights nobels and Byzantium and Bosnia.
Our traders bring us goods and gold from the far away countrys but there is dark clouds on the horizon.
The Ottoman empire starts to expand and might soon threaten the Knights intrest in the area.
In the year 1422 did our leader bless us with a royal marriage with Helvetia. A country still unknown to the bulk of our people but again we perhaps found an allied in the future.
In the year 1425 did 10 000 men invade Smyrna an Ottoman held province and captured the province with ease after fighting of 3 counter attacks easily.
Reinforced by 4000 mercenaries did they mount an attack towards Macedonia held by the The Ottoman empire. the sieg did now last long and soon was Macedonia also in the hands of the Knight but the Ottomans did not want to surrender any provinces so after 3 years did the leader if the Knight settle with 250 gc and 5000 men returned to the Island of Rhodes.
This war was over but more will come when the army has been refitted and more ships has been built.
