"This Crusade will not fail, and if we are lucky, from the foothold in the Holy Land, we can either make peace agreements, or continue pushing against our Islamic enemy, I also hear the English plan on invading Iberia to push back the Almohades"

"Yes I heard these rumours too, but actually I would prefer to see them In the holy Land instead of In Iberia."

"Well, you can discuss that with this Prince of theirs when he arrives" Tyrol said chuckling "He better not be incompetent, the last thing we need is a fat Prince who demands to eat all your food"

"Valentin Olegovich!" General Zaharchuk cried, walking into the barracks. "Georgiy Georgiyevich!" General Kovalenko responded. The two men embraced. "What is our new mission?" Kovalenko asked. "The Kipchuks. The Russians have declared war, but Pavel has already planned for an invasion. We leave in three days." Zaharchuk said. "That is amazing. What is our doctrine for this invasion?" Kovalenko asked. "Shadow invasion. We will slowly cut off contact to different towns. They'll just seem to... disappear. Eventually, if we get caught, we truly begin an invasion." Zaharchuk said. "It is good that we are destroying the Kipchuks. In the stories of old, we heard about the Khans of the East who invaded the Rus, and enslaved our people. I am glad to take revenge." Kovalenko's eyes shone with fire. "Imagine if we find the Horde. Most of it is unaccounted for." Zaharchuk said. During the days of the Khans of old, the Horde was a collection of fine weapons, used to defeat the Eastern menace. Only a few pieces were left. "Another piece broke a few days ago." Kovalenko said. "Really? How?" Zaharchuk asked. "One of my soldiers, Tupolev. His ax was of the Horde. It broke in combat. Rest assured, our forges have repaired it." Kovalenko calmed his friend down. "Good. I've heard tell of one of your soldiers, Kolinski. Apparently, he slew the enemy commander at Pilinsk." Zaharchuk commented. "Ah yes, Kolinski. He almost died fighting Lord Zharkov. I promoted him for that. If we find the Horde, he gets an early pick." Kovalenko said. "Rumors are spreading that he and your Tupolev are undefeatable." Zaharchuk said. The two friends laughed.

"Didnt you know that the Serrenissima is a bunch of Islands?"

"I did, its just I didnt take it into account Duke, besides he may make the island sink"

"Yes, I suppose I could do the same, then sail back to Rome"

"Yes, Rome is nice, the eternal city, of course, I dont mean to offend you, now the Serrenissima has taken its place, but yes, Rome is very beautiful.
Also, why should you sail back to rome?Even if the city sinks we either should go watch the crusade, or continue talks with all crusaders in Treviso or Istria."

"Me too"*A Courtier enters the hall*
"Your Majesty, a letter was sent from the Kievans."*Hands the letter*
"Excuse me for a moment your holyness"*nods to the pope and opens the letter*

To Venice
From Kiev

---

Per Royal Decree 146, all Venetian Assets in Kiev have been seized. All Venetians have been arrested and tried.
Per Royal Decree 147, All Venetian Vessels are now barred from Kievan Ports. All Venetian Vessels in the Black Sea will be interdicted and seized.
You have been notified. Have a jolly good day.

"Curse these heretics.They declare the black sea for a Venetian-free zone?They are lucky that their greek friends stay in their castles and that we now have a real Crusade going on."*looks to the courtier*"Send word to Capitano Rossi of the fleet of Istria that I want him to stay around the uninhabited greek Islands and search for possible Kievan fleets in the Medditeranean.But tell him to not get spotted by the greeks.Also tell him that he and his crews may take half of all the loot they get.
Also send the Kievans..."*takes a piece of paper and starts writing*"...This letter."

May God have mercy on you,
we wont.You may block the black sea, but so doe we in the medditeranean.Consider all ships behind the Sea of Marmara as endangered.
Also we will fund Privateers from Cilicia to move north and westwards with their fleets to attack any Kievan Ship in sight.
May you have a fine time in the hell you will soon enter.

*looks back to the pope*
"Im sorry but that was an issue which needed immideate commands."
