The Aestwäld Saga (9)

[TitusV]

Nur Amon is a small village at the Drond's border with the Trifork. The few villagers who live there are defended against raiders by a strong tower, part of the "defensive wall" around Drondil's Kaliphlin border.

Not that there are many of them, The only possible loot would be the livestock of Nur Amon's farmers.

Suddenly the air darkens. A seamingly endless stream of black-clad warriors start to pear into the village. Seeing this, the guardsmen gives a cry and asks who they are and if Alric knows they are in his territory. The warriors just ignore his question, and while the rest start raiding the village, one of them stabs a spear through the guard's guts.

One by one, his collegues end up with the same fate, while other soldiers purue the remaining farmers.

On top of the tower, the last guard puts up a desperate fight, but his effort can't win the skirmish.

A black soldiers takes down the flag of our proud county, green of Avalonia and blue of Drondil, and after putting up their own fight, starts relieving himself on our colours!!!

Then he throws it down and leaves the roof.

--------------------------------

Quint was afraid. No he wasn't afraid: he was scared to death! Never ever happened in Nur Amon, and now they were the subject of an invasion, with him being the only one left alive!

He was laying on the ground with at least three spears pointing at his head. Suddenly, a shadow appeared.

A raw voice sounded:

You're probably thinking why you're still breathing. Well, you're going to do something to me. Run to your daddy -but, your soldiers just killed my da- the other side of a spear made him be silent. You're going to run to that count of you and tell him right this:

(sarcastic) Lord Alric. Wanna switch your wife for your county? Cheers.

Understood?Quint nodded, and while the soldiers pillaged his home, he ran as he never had before.

------------------------

I'm quite proud of this, and it will be seeable at BMA. I used another camera for these pictures, is it better? Thanks to Beorthan for collab-ing with me, to Maxim, and to you for reading!

Untill the next chapter,

Titus

Good build, nice work on the angled buildings!

[Maxim I]

Very nice Titus!! Looking forward to see it Friday!!

[Puvel]

Nice one!

Tower is well build, the tiles as protection for the archers is a nice touch

[soccerkid6]

Another cool addition to your saga. I like the wooden shutters, and barrels of oil on the tower top, and how you set the whole tower at an angle The fenced area for the horse is a nice touch too

[Lord Vladivus]

I like the tower!

[LittleJohn]

Very nice build, I like that you angled the tower Cool watering trough too

[TitusV]

Thank you for the nice comments!

[Adair]

Very nice work here! I love the foliage and that roof! Adding some tiles to the roof (if you have any black or dark brown ones, especially) would add something, methinks, but other then that this looks great! Love the angles!

[Spader]

Nice little guardhouse. I like the way you did the layout. Keep it up!

[Bregir]

And the story becomes more and more dramatic! :O

I really hope Beorthan will arrive in time and be able to tip the tide in this conflict!!

Both buildings are looking great, and the story is well-written and well dramatized by the pictures. My only criticism would be to work a little more with the transition from cliffs to tower. On the front it looks great with the path leading up to the entrance, but on the back the shift from cliffs to angled tower is a bit rough.

However, I think this is your best build yet, and that is saying a lot!
