~Crowley Eusford (Human Version)~

1217, the Fifth Crusade. A European attempt to recapture Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land. The road there was very long, and the enemy could be waiting on all sides. Vigilance and maintaining control of the situation: at least the best solution, right? It was a sacred duty. God's help would help them. So thought Crowley Eusford: the third son, descended from a noble aristocratic family. He didn't expect to receive a full share of the inheritance. And since times in the 13th century were extremely harsh and harsh, Crowley joined the Crusades and the ranks of the Templars.
The road was dusty, the sun was high, its rays sparing no one. The main routes ran across the Mediterranean to the ports of the Levant, and then overland along the coast or into Egypt. And the main goal was Damietta. Easy at first glance? Of course not. Considering the crusaders' situation, especially the frequent illnesses and drought, it's tempting to remain silent. And stopping for a rest would require too much time: where and how to pitch a tent, fortifications, distribution of duties, discipline, and motivation. Everything was very strict.
The knights walked steadily, but slowly due to their load. The infantry and baggage train slowed the column considerably. Dawn had been about two hours ago, and they had been marching for so long without a break. A light breeze had picked up again, raising dust. But dust was also a major problem in those days. Such a breeze could turn into a hurricane. Getting water was also difficult. In short, there were plenty of problems in those days. Crowley also understood what he was getting into. But younger children either went to church or became crusaders. There was no other way. And so Crowley decided to leave, to prove his faith. But with each passing day, this faith faded as his comrades were killed. Was God really helping? Or did it really sound like a fairy tale? All his hopes and dreams, his view of the world, might soon be shattered. But for now, all that remained was to see what fate had in store for Crowley and his company. And what awaited them ahead. Right there...
