Joint attack on the Netherlands

[jakev2]

For too long, the Dutch have been a thorn in the side of Köln and Valois. Constantly, they have harrassed our trade routes in their quest for trade dominance in North Europe, and they have resisted any and all attempts at diplomacy. Too long. Now, they shall feel the might of our new alliance.



Taking advantage of the troubles inside their borders, König Johannes and King Philip will strike against the Dutch from the East and the South, respectively. Any who surrender will be treated well, but any resistance shall be crushed.

Army Movement/Plan

The Valois Royal Army under the command of King Phillip VI will march north, instating Valois rule unto regions which show little resistance and keep doing so until they either come up to some considerable resistance ahead or get to the half-way point as indicated by the map.

[jakev2]

Köln's army, under the command of Großmeister Wilhelm Becker of the Order of St. Boniface, will march West into Friesland, then sweep South and West from town to town, with the ultimate goal being the city of Utrecht. Should the Dutch army decide to attack the forces of Valois instead, then our army will attack them from behind.

Prince Baldwin orders Koln and Valois to stand down. You are attacking an ally of yours, Konig.

[jakev2]

Johannes sends a reply.

You have your own nation, Baldwin. I suggest you tend to it's defense, for the good of Christendom, rather than meddling in my affairs. Stay out of this, and I will aid you in the next crusade. This I swear.

[c00ki3]

Johannes sends a reply.

You have your own nation, Baldwin. I suggest you tend to it's defense, for the good of Christendom, rather than meddling in my affairs. Stay out of this, and I will aid you in the next crusade. This I swear.

Baldwin punches a hole in the wall..His homeland is falling.

Be careful of your decisions, friend. I doubt there will be a second crusade with the help we are receiving, to be honest..

[kingsid]

OOC: Seems like Baldwin is lossing the power they made out to have.

[jakev2]

König Johannes II is determined to lead the campaign himself.

[c00ki3]

Prince Baldwin the 2nd will remain in the Netherlands with his knights. He sends one more letter telling the Konig to stop; he doesn't say anything about force, yet.

[jakev2]

Arhtur claims the Dutch have abandoned the Netherlands, so there is no need to fight. 1,000,000 extra population each then?

[Roxas]

Well we've taken over everything anyway, just update the map and we can rp anything if Cookie wanted to rp something later. 1 Million each sounds fair also.

[kingsid]

Wtf? Are you telling me any state in there right mind would abandoned there home and aid Brittnia earning them a whole 2 new enemies and forcing them to join a much larger war possibly bring French and Koln over into the war? Impossible. Men wouldn't abanoned there homes and Children to aid Brittnia, thats really unrealistic, not to mention Brittnia earning a new enemy by sheltering Valois and Kolns enemy.

Another stunt to get more back up for Brittnia -.-' FFS!

[jakev2]

Regardless, we just conquered 1 million people each without a drop of blood being spilled.

[kingsid]

I just think its stupid but oh well, Lucky guys

[Pinkie Pie]

I say that the Serbian AI has decided to run off to the Crusaders. I get all of Serbia and Illyria for free and the Crusaders get a new army

Arthur if you get a free army then you have to pay they upkeep. After all they can not feed themselves.

True point.
