《Restarting life as a peasant》Chapter 26
Advertisement
I bought all the emerald color fabric in the Baldenburg, which was not much. That fabric was expensive, which served my purposes better. I didn’t want my band's name hijacked by some bandits. Then I left Baldenburg. I loaded my fabric to my horse, and mounted it.
I was rather happy. Normally under defensive war conditions he could have over 2000 armed peasantry in the population pool of 22.000 but Alfred ruined his chances with his mismanagement of people, no starving villager would fight for him even he pushed them on the battlefield. I didn’t think his soldiers would be good ones either, he didn’t look like someone who cared about merit, he only cared about superficial things like bloodlines and nobility . If his territory would have been neighboring to any foregin kingdom he would have lost his land quickly. But his territory was internal and other lords couldn't invade it directly, due to the law.
While I ride my horse back, I get in a village. There wasn’t any inn. I just walk around the village. I saw the malnourished people in the fields. But they had very few guards in the village. I decided that is because of people being emotionally broken. Normally when you are suppressed by this little of a force you rise up. I would bet when I start to beat soldiers serfs are going to rise up quickly. But I knew my lessons from my previous life. I never underestimated my enemies. In war you make your plans and see them going out to the trash in a few days. My motto was in war your forces must always be overkill. So I was going to found and train a good militia force. A force well armed, relatively well trained and not going to make any move before the 3 month time limit.

I ride my horse to the Baron Stone’s lands. In the villages there, lumberjacks, timber production, hunting and tanneries were very common.
I go to a pub in a big village. After a hard day's work there were many lumberjacks, hunters and farmers drinking and relaxing there.
I got inside. I got near the fireplace and started talking in a loud voice "I am here to tell you about an opportunity. Opportunity of adventure but more importantly earning gold." Few of the young men looked interested in the adventure part but money got more interest from the majority of the crowd.” I cleared my throat and started speaking “ As you know in winter months you can’t earn money, you already sold your wood, your farm does not need tending. But what would I tell you instead of suffering bickering women for three months I said to you you can earn 5 gold each, just in 3 months?” This was an appealing proposal because I was offering them 6 months of hard working worth of money on the time period they can earn nothing. A guy, a lumberjack in his early forties spoke. “Look young man, if something is too good to be true it usually is. So speak carefully, we don’t like swindlers around these parts.” I thought about what I am going to say next for a minute, then broke the silence “I am here because of my god, Altus, he is god of hunt, wild and revenge.” Hunters among the crowd seem uncomfortable. I should have thought that most hunters nowadays worshiped Caris, goddess of the hunt, wild and celibacy. So with talking about the old god of hunt I made them uncomfortable.
I started to speak again “Altus showed himself to my father in his dreams” I seriously hope my father would be daring enough to lie about prophecies and risk angering a god. But as far as I understand, gods didn’t care what people say about them in places people didn't believe in them. And I continued, “There are many injustices done, which angered Altus. A kid's mother violated in front of him, his father killed when he tried to prevent this. His siblings were killed just because of cruelty. Altus heard his cries and ordered my father to punish the offenders with vengeance. I don’t expect you to risk your lives for our cause no. We are just going to train you in the art of combat, the lessons which you will make use of your entire life. After the training you are free to join us for more money and secure justice or you can return to your homes richer and new skills which protect you and your family from bandits for the rest of your life.” I wasn’t expecting this. I had around ten volunteers rise up to join me from my fist village. I didn’t know it was because my oration was too good or just the promise of money. Or maybe being a peasant was too boring, whatever it is I had many volunteers from my first village.

Dark Street
Life comes at you fast, and Julian Marco’s life is one flat tire away from being the worst kind of country song. But the blues may soon feel like an afterthought, once Julian wakes up in a hellish shadow dimension, with no idea how he got there or why. Forced to fight for his very survival may cost him his remaining sanity. Well, that or the fresh pair of fangs and burning lust for blood. Little does Julian realize what happens in the darkness could have drastic consequences for the rest of earth. And discoveries await that may just contain some dark secret from humanity’s ancient past. Note: This is a story I wrote years ago. It isn't complete, but I had a lot of fun with it. Since my primary focus is on Evil Eye: Hexcaller, chapters will be slow to update. I'm going to shoot for once a week, but we shall see! I hope you enjoy it!
8 135Blood Ties: Lastborn of Akatosh (Elder Scrolls/ Skyrim / Naruto)
(Fan-made Readaptation of a Fanfiction)"Two men, twins separated as infants. Divided by an ocean, they grew up in very different worlds, but both became warriors of incredible skill and power. Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. And Conrad Harissen, the Last Dragonborn. A close brush with death finds Conrad finally meeting his brother in the last place he would ever expect: the belly of the Shinigami, known to him as the Soul Cairn.

And Minato never said anything about a nephew..." =========================== I neither own the Naruto Series nor The Elder Scrolls series nor the Original Fanfiction, Blood Ties I also dont own the cover picture. I just found this on my old gallery about Dragonborns and I forgot where I got it. Credits to its Creative Owner. This is just a Fan-made Readaptation of Igornerd's Fanfiction titled: Blood Ties, a Naruto + Elder Scrolls Crossover. The story takes place during the very start of the Naruto Series and years after the Civil War in Skyrim.This is NOT a Self Insert fanfiction. This is NOT isekai also. There are NO "Stats System" BS here. This is purely written for fun and a wish fulfillment fanfiction to see or read a "WHAT IF" scenario where "Elder Scrolls meets Naruto" with a Powerful Dragonborn. Anyway, please dont hesitate to give me better recommendations on what to add to this series. This is a Fanfiction and I am more of a Reader than a Writer, so any suggestions that you wanted to add or fix on this series is highly welcomed. I apologize in advance if you see some mistakes in my grammar because I am not that fluent in English.

8 158[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
