As he walked up the stairs he got ti the kingdom keep. The keep his private chamber of protection on top of the castle.In the top of teh castle David stared out in the abyss of the morning sun. He stared as the sun rose and awoke the spirits of the fields. Cows and goats grazing on the land. He saw a young peasent boy was already working on the fields that early in the morning, plowing the firleds with a oxen. As young as the boy was David knew that his people needed the crops.

Back in the castle Sir EdwingSton reportedto the king that the chinese Invaders were approching the castle perimiter. He warned the king that he should go to the keep.

Sir EdwingSton was starting to get worried he did not want anyone to get killed.

in the back of the castle in the window there were two pairs of hands. Sir EdwingSton helped him up and it was the assasin. As they walked pass the soildiers on the castle walls Edwing said that it was ok he was a friend. As they walked pass all the wounded soildiers on the castle wall hey all looked out into the field, Not a poor soul in sight. Just a gew cows and goats grazing on the fields as if nothing is happening.As EdwingSton approcahed the king he made him turn around and face the window, They noticed the ram pounding on the castle wall. "Smart" said the king conserving there energy from when they break the wall". " That it is " said Edwingsont. " What i don't understand is why the chinese would trabel all this way to take over my castle. " I have to tell you" said david " I never really loved claudisi.." There the assasin appreared. He had quickly grabbed the Kings left had pull it back and with his other hand slice his throat. "No" thought EdwinSton, He did no love her after all.

As planned Edwingston opened the castle bridge, And door. General Cho ordered his men to surround the english sodiers. Now taken over the castle the siege is over. Atop the castle walls Cho went he stared at his new found land. He had more than just the castle in mind. He ordered all the Croatian soldiers killed. Sir EdwingSton could not belive his ears, he spoke up and said " You mus'nt. General Cho did not take kindly to people who disobeyed his orders. With a Thrust of his feet he had kicked EdwinSton of the castle wall. The hundred feet fall EdwingSton thought to the past. He thought of when he and King David were good friends. They went to school , and college together. EdwinSton always being the top in his Knight training he had let David win a few battles.He knew he had messed up. As Claudisia refused to follow Cho's orders she too had to taste Cho's cold hard feet.

At last this castle belonged to the chinese. None the less Cho will go down in history as the man who took over a castle. Now becoming linked to China the fortress was now a part of the Silk road.
