[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Write a war speech for the scenario above you and then write a scenario for the next user. Example:

 

[previous post]

You are a general and king, you are leading an army of 1000 soldiers, men and women, against an army of 2000. Your soldiers are all militia and your enemy's army is a professional army. You're armies are separated by a frozen lake. You must defend the retreat of your allies, for if they die, your kingdom will be destroyed.

 

[my post: Speech]

"Ladies and gentlemen... Today I do not stand here as your king, nor your general, but as your brother in arms. Our enemy out numbers us 2 to 1. You may be scared, and I do not blame you for it, for I am scared also. But we must be brave, for being brave is not being without fear but going even though you are scared. I can promise you that our enemies are scared too, for they are humans just like you and me. I can not promise you victory, but because of our efforts today, we will all be remembered in song and stories because of our valor! With blade and bow in hand, we shall march forward to our enemy, so they can hear our battle cry and fear us. Let the screams of their dying drown out the clashing of steel! So onward to battle and to glory!!!!"

 

[my post: Scenario]

You are a British general from Virginia during the French and Indian war. You and your army are on a hill over looking a french fort. You are outnumbered but your Native American allies are approaching from the East. The french have not noticed you and you are under the cover of night. Your soldiers are all colonist militia that are not well trained and their moral is low.
