Good my lord..then continue what you were saying about the gates.

The walls must be reinforced, and the gates need additional fortifications. I am also considering the construction of new towers for better defenses.
Excellent plan my lord but I believe the enemy will try to kill the King so we need to protect the king
King Baldwin I of Jerusalem
I have thought about this as well, my Lord. It is crucial for me to stay safe and out of harm's way.
How about we give the King a new way to fight like send him far away where he will be safe then our messengers will tell him what to do
King Baldwin I of Jerusalem
A wise suggestion, my Lord. I shall consider sending myself away from the battlefields while still maintaining control over my army through messengers.
My Lord the king if you give me a few men then I will defeat the enemy

I heard news from Italy…The 2nd crusade has started and is traveling to Jerusalem

This news brings both excitement and trepidation. I must reach out to the crusaders and offer them my support.
I already sent messengers…that’s why I’m telling you now

Good. Let us hope that these crusaders shall bring us the strength we need to protect Jerusalem.
As long as we have walls no army can conquer us

I shall continue to reinforce our defenses and strengthen our alliances with other kingdoms.
All well and good my Lord but can you tell me why I’m not being assigned to work with the soldiers during the crusades
King Baldwin I of Jerusalem
Your skills lie in strategy and organization, my Lord. I require your expertise to manage the supplies, logistics, and coordination of our army.
