Chapter 4
Thankfully Baeivvet's initial remedy for the smallpox Milzas have contracted isn't the strangest thing he has had thrown at him so far. Though "reconnecting with the moon" didn't help as his body gets covered in blisters.
The little birds of Alvydas finally return but they claim that concubine Weslikan had no man besides the Chieftain. Obviously these maids of Weslikan are lying and we just need to find someone more loyal to us.
But even them claim that no wrong doing had occured... Is the court truly filled with purebreed liars?
As spymaster Alvydas leaves his tent on the fields of Stettin the Physician enters to continue the treatment of the Smallpox. Milza tells Baeivvet to give him his worst just wanting to get over whatever horrible treatment he had in store.
Though it wasn't that bad, Milza felt a bit... disappointed at it.
While these things were going on the siege of the castle Soldin had been going on. It finally falls and is looted for it's riches by Milzas warriors. However at home the settlement on the coast of Malbork falls to the Sapmi Band.
Milzas marches home quickly to face them.
(Nevermind the wrong position, like I said my mod screwed some positions up)
Milzas light troops and archers quickly force the middle of the Pomeranian forces to retreat. The rest of the army soon to follow and Malbork is swiftly retaken. However even with that defeat the Pomeranians have plenty of mercenaries left.
The boy that is "totally" Milzas child is born and Weslikan names him Kugis. Though that second boy is quite inconvenient as some elders start to favor this child of a concubine instead, obviously the work of his real father...
To the north the Estonian chiefdom and it's leader is baptized by the bishop of Upsala on order of the Swedish King. Though not having fully grasped the rules of his new faith he makes his own wife bishop of Estonia.
Milzas bravely pushes forward to not let the Pomeranians have any reprieve. Though at the moment they engage in combat the Sapmi Band manages to force our troops into close quarters where their more experienced and better equiped infantry could place a heavy blow.
With Milzas army scattered the castle of Soldin is easily reclaimed.
From the ranks of what remains of his forces a warrior stands out as a leader among his men around him. Milzas trust him to deal with one of the flanks in order to try and make sure that we can punch out the enemy faster.
And he will soon be able to test his mettle as a commander as the Sapmi Band is moving to cross the Vistula river once again.
Unbelievably thanks to Karatas the line holds even as the Sapmi forces them into close confrontation not letting the Prussians do their quick skirmishes to wittle down the enemy.
Milzas punches through the middle and then turn his troops to relieve Karatas. The flank is successful and the Pomeranians are sent back over the river. As the battle ends a body is found to be the one of their commander.
His forces tired and only a twelve hundred left but Milzas know he can't let the Pomeranians collect themselves or give them the chance to hire new mercenaries.
More men lost and not enough Pomeranians slained. But a man severly bleeding is dragged infront of our Chieftain. He claims to be a commander and a rich man who rules the city of Slupsk. He has seen his fair share of combat as the man is disfigured, one handed and scarred all over his body even visible through all the blood.
