You sit on your horse, tired but steady. It had been a long journey first through Magyaria and then by Byzantion and through disputed territories but you and your army of soldiers 1,000 strong mounted knights, 300 archers, 150 dismounted knights and 1000 infantry had made it to the holy lands. As your party approaches one of the cities on the outskirts of the far flung Holy Land, the City of Kerak stood before you. A small city complete with a citadel, walls and one of the few natural springs that occurred in the hot and arid land.

As you approaches the city you could see banners and gleams of armor not familiar to you approaching. As they draw closer your men began to form up near you before you could say anything you realize they were Saracens, the very enemy known to despise Raymond’s Kingdom. While knowing the little you did about Raymond’s Kingdom, you do know that these Saracens are pagans who laid claim to the same lands and cities King Raymond ruled over.

Judging by the speed of the saracens it appeared they aree charging you with a small **** of maybe 500 if you have to guess. Raising your sword, you decide to lead a counter charge lest your more **** dismounted men be trampled by the enemy’s horses. Nodding to Captain Willard, he gives the signal and your mounted knights quickly formed a line as you make the sign of the cross. Lord only knows if you would survive this first battle.
