Battling brutal Burgundians and brave British bastards in Burgundy, and Denmark
So the last time we heard from our Vikingly friends, they were embroiled in a fierce to-the-death total war vs. Burgundy. Well, they still are. So let us see what has happened so far during this war.
After Yohan modded himself and his Swedish Midgets into the game, he kicked the crap out of the Burgundians… for a short time. After that short time, the Burgundians started to come back. As was said before there are a fringing load of Burgundians. This wouldn’t be much of a problem, but there were very few Vikings (after 5 years of war, all those lazy bums were just dead or they had moved to Switzerland).
It was at this point that Harold started to consider something weird. Something very weird. Something very very very very very very very very very very very very weird. Yea, it was really weird.
Captain Piet (which is a remarkably Dutch name for a Viking, yet this is probably explained because the Burgundians were oppressing those silly Dutchies. So a few idealistic Dutch suckers thought that the Vikings could liberate them from their oppressors. Which is ofcourse silly, considering the fact that Vikings don’t liberate anyone, they just conquer, oppress and have fun. But there were a few who Dutchmen who were too stupid to realise that and aided the Vikings, Piet was one of them) and his two lieutenants watching a group of the biggest scummy scum of all scum in the world: … mercenaries. (dum dum dum dum)
Piet: Mercenaries, we don’t need that scum.
Idealistic Dutch moron #1: Yes sir!
Piet: The Burgundians won’t escape.
Harold (talking to the mercenaries, totally ignoring Piet and his lieutenants, who btw won’t play any part whatsoever anymore in the AAR): ... there will be a substantial reward for the one who kills all the Burgundians. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them dead. No survivors.
Big Fred (who is a mercenary): As you wish.
Piet: Lord Harold, my Lord! We have won a battle! Our largest army just managed to molest a half manned regiment in Oldenburg!
Harold: About bloody time. Big Fred, take your smelly men out there and kill some Burgundian bastards.
Big Fred: As you wish, herr Harold.
Harold: …
So, Harold had hired some 100k mercenaries to kick some Burgundian @$$.
Voice over: One by one the little, cosy Viking provinces felt to the power of the Burgundians.
But there were some who resist! A large army of Vikings and mercenaries marched against the armies of Burgundy.
And near the walls of Oldenburg they fought for their Vikingdom (the Vikings that is, not the mercenaries, who after all, are just smelly, greedy bastards who fought for the Maya gold).
With the help of the mercenaries under the leadership of Big Fred the Vikings manage to beat most of the Burgundian armies.
Victory was near! But the power of the Burgundians could not be undone…
We see the giant silhouette of Charles IV (who was a kickass general btw, 6 shock and 4 fire… which is completely unfair as Norwegian monarch always suck) who molests the ranks of mercenaries, Vikings and Swedish midgets, while he is blindfolded and only armed with a potato peeler. We see bullets, swords, arrows, maces, axes and cannonballs just bounce off Charles which produces a very silly yet somehow very funny sound as he marched deeper and deeper in our funny friends’ lines.
Note by the author: Later historians would debate whenever Charles’ armour produced the very silly yet somehow very funny sound or that Charles was just giggling. In fact, the “Second hysteric Historians war” started over this at the bloodbath of the 1984 historians-on-the-death-of-Charles-IV-of-Burgundy congress. Esteemed 10.000.000.000.042 and a half historian died that night a gruesome death by statistics, boredom, chalk fights and other tasteless ways to deprive other human beings of their lives. It would take over a decade before the first universities were prepared again to teach history.
Narrator: Anyway, it was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Yohan Andersson, lead designer of Europa Universalis 3, decided this had took long enough as he wanted to be home for te… erhm vodka time. So he stepped forward and smashed his knee in Charles IV’s naughty parts with a crushing blow.
Charles IV, the enemy of the Free, Vikingly Vikings of Norway and their not so free and not so Vikingly subjects was defeated.
Cinematic director: We see the parts of Charles’ armour fall on the ground, his body vaporises with some really smashing light effects and he exploded with a might BANG, blowing all pussies (mercenaries) of their feet. Thor said that Vkings are to macho to be blown of their feet, so they just stand there, watching the show.
A British ambassador runs in, completely out of breath.
British ambassador (while gasping for breath): Hey wait! We Bri…
