Mission 9:
__________

"Nagging barons"


	We made it! All Machines were destroyed  and the enemy withdrawned  the troops to  their castles. Instead of attacking, they are awaiting our arrival.
Harsh winter and snow  make the ground hard to crop. There are not many resources available neither. The enemy is secured from hunger as castle's warehouses were totally supplied. At first sight we're in trouble, even with allies' support.

However a great carpenter joined us! He can construct siege weapons and offered his help provided he doesn't have to share his methods. Of course, I agreed! The enemy not only has machines, but  they are placed in strategical points too! We need to extend the encampment quickly. We have ran out of gold. Otherwise, we have to start bringing out gold ore as well as iron ore, because iron is needed to construct machines.

I was informed that a division of cavalry had been sent from capitol to raze rabel to the ground. I'm sure they will attack soon.
