This round I should be getting in two battles. The one that counts will be against the same demon opponent from Rd 3. My second will be against Warriors of Chaos. The first write up will be for the Warriors since it is against the same banner that I used in Rd 3 so I wrapped up post battle and scout report into one.
"Hold children of Bretonnia. Have faith that the Lady watches over
you!" Lady Rouquin shouted above the clash of battle. Around her the men
at arms were dying by the droves to the demons of chaos and their
courage was starting to waiver. Most were cut down by the gruesome
hellforged blades of khornes foot soldiers while the lord of change
thrashed about as best it could. Each clumsy strike of the demon lord sending men
flying in every direction. The Ladys Blessing deflected many of the
blows but there is only so much that can be done. The men were dying,
all Lady Rouquin needed was them to hold for a precious few more
seconds.
So immersed in the thrill of slaughter the demon spawn did not notice Lord
Aldred and escort had moved into position and had already begun their
charge. The swiftness of the Bretonnian steeds was such that by the
time the bloodletters were aware of their plight the lances were already striking home. Such was the force of the knights impart that
not even demonic resistance could protect them from righteous
fury. With his support gone the Lord of Change looked to flee to the
skies. "Don't let the demon flee!" Lady Rouquin pointed towards the
demon as he unfurled his wings. Seeing the closest thing to fear in a
demons eyes and emboldened by the support of their betters the men at
arms surged at the demon lord in an unstoppable wave. More men died as
the demon lashed out in its dark tongue engulfing men in iridescent fire
but it was already too late. Large ropes were brought up and blessed
by the prophetess before binding the demon to the ground.
The temporary bindings in place large chains were then brought forth to
further secure the cargo. Thrice blessed by both damsels ensured that
the great magics of the Tzeentch demon could not be used to free itself.
The battle was won. All the demons were banished backed to their realm
and they now had the demon hosts leader in chains. His fate yet to be
decided by the capricious Lady Rouquin as none dared to argue with a
Prophetess for the Lady of the Lake.

Lord Allard looked around the battlefield calculating the Butchers Bill
for the day. The capture of the land and mine was a great success and
he looked forward to hearing of the riches they will pull from the
earth.
"My lord, I wish not to damper your victory but our scouts report a
Norsca force moving south" Sir Grotte reported as he eyed the remains of
the battle. "South? I Norse were supposed to be good with directions.
Did they ask for passage?" Lord Allard already was running why the Norse
would be as so bold to enter the kingdom. "No my lord, it looks to be a
war host."
"Then lets not be rude and keep them waiting shall we. Call up the
reserves, we march at dawn" Lord Allard started the ride back to camp.
Allard hoped that this was simply a misunderstanding, but one can not
be certain with the Norse.
The brave forces of Bretonnia prepare for battle versus the Warriors of Chaos.
