BluelightMaster3yrCommentedPitched their tent?
Upon their return, the sun has sunk half of its mass into the horizon with some twinkling stars slowly showing up in the dusk sky. Antonius' men have already peached their tents just beside the Sultan's camp as instructed by their admiral, getting some rest on their feet trying to regain their balance of directions with the help of land. No matter how these sailors loved the seas, they still long for a stable piece of land to step on after a long voyage.- BluelightMaster3yrCommented
Waging war
"It is not wise to make hostile with other states before getting our foot hold in these region, it is best to keep a friendly tie with them and considering that we are now on the same line wedging war against the Ottomans, it should be much easier to establish diplomatic ties with the local governors by giving them a small tip." - BluelightMaster3yrReplied to Levianeus
There are no royalty except the emperor left in the city. I think...
The situation slowly turned into a stalemate with the Romans trying their best to fill the gaps of the increasing and collapsing line of defence, while the Ottomans now are able to hold on to their captured area and still master another force led by Kudret Suvari himself pushing towards Blachnarea, where there lays his objective, the gate of Kaligaria and Regia, after that, he can pound onto the Royal Palace of Blachernae where the emperor and the kins from the house of Palaiologos lives, capturing this place is a political goal which can instantly announce that Mehmed has achieved victory in this siege. - BluelightMaster3yrCommented
Assault can also be used instead of siege. I misunderstood it for a second. The whole encircling is a siege...
While the three men move Antonius onto the bed, a series of horns began blowing outside the city. "It is the Sultan." Said Abdullah. "The siege has ended, their Sultan called out for a retreat." - BluelightMaster3yrCommented
Christopher Columbus is only 2 years old at this time...
"There is one thing that bothers me by the way…" The old mercenary continued as he pulled a smoking pipe from his pocket, filled it with smoke powder, ignited it with the help of a candle and started smoking. "You want smoke?" - BluelightMaster3yrReplied to RoanTale
It's only 50km from the city...
There are no fancy twisting novel-like plots and miracles such as spies within Constantinople reporting the news of incoming fleet to the Ottomans before Antonius arrives, or the Ottoman admiral Kapudan Pasha predicting that the Romans are coming and put up defence ahead of them. The fleet led by Antonius flied across the sea surface with full sails and speed catching the waves non-stop, and they managed to reach the outskirts of Kocaeli within twelve hours after they leave the city.
