dragging men, women out of their house against their own will. I order my knights to take. 

prisoners have family not be separated as they load them up on wagon chains attach to them. I 

look around ground find blood everywhere as well...things happen. Some of the villages try.

crumble to ashes. I turnover to right side to see graveyards and wooden crosses sticking to 

grounds and knowing that this will be the only thing that remains of the village. I walked the  

villages grounds. As the last villagers are loaded up on the wagon on dirt roads and knights walk
