15th March, 1203 AD:

"MARCH!" the army of young general Marcus followed him as he marched through the plains of English outskirts. all of the men covered their noses. "General, it smells like death..." one of the men spoke up

"excellent! Means we are close to the source of this smell" Marcus replied. He sounded satisfied with how this mission was going.

"so...what is the purpose of this? Are we supposed to see if someone is alive after those damn Kurks wrecked this part of the kingdom?!" the soldier exclaimed

Marcus remained calm and patiently answered, "king Swanson's orders it is,Luke. We are not supposed to question his judgement."

"Whatever you say...I just want to get my hands on those Kurks! I'll rip them apart!" the soldier(Luke) said.

"ENOUGH! MARCH!" Marcus shouted, the men, sensing the urgency started following him.

After marching for a few minutes the soldiers finally stumbled upon a shallow pond...a pond of blood with corpses of local villagers in if.

"Kurks..." Luke says through gritted teeth.

Marcus didn't reply. He looked around a bit and turned around,facing his soldiers...

"I don't see anyone, we have to return-.." Marcus instantly gets interrupted by Luke, "So you're saying that those Kurks can sail over here, kill our people and we should run away like cowards?!" the soldiers erupted and started yelling at Marcus

Marcus keeps his calm and says, "there is no one here, calm down. I wouldn't stand still if I saw even one kurk here but for now as you can see, there are only corpses lying here. We need to go back."

the soldiers all went quiet but still whispered among themselves. "TURN BACK! MARCH!"

Marcus commanded and his soldiers started retreating from the grotesque landscape.

After a week(23rd March) the Marcus and his 120 men finally reach the capital, Lambon. Marcus left the army after making Luke the temporary captain. Luke marched the army through the capital to reach the king's palace.

Marcus gets a bit surprised to see them at his house. He approaches them and says, "Ladan? Ovince? What an unexpected meeting!" but before he could say anything else Ovince says, "there is no time, come with us to the palace, Now!"

Marcus gets a bit confused but still asks, "I apologise but I want to see Helga-..."

"The King's men took Helga with them, Marcus!!! He wants to speak to you!!!" says Ovince, his voice is desperate than ever.

Marcus is left speechless but after standing still for a few moments he finally says something...

"WHAT?!!!"
