Prologue: Chapter 1
Muslim World
The year is 732. A huge moorish army attacks Tours, the battle is bloody, but its commander, Algafeque, is cunning, a cavalry force composed of 3,000 brave knights who had placed Charles Martel in a trap and hiding how many the franks arrived, attack the franks behind their backs, desperate and with their soldiers disbanded, Charles Martel is forced to retreat to Paris.
Meanwhile, the great moorish army advances to Orléans and put siege to the city, but they are forced to give it up because of the exhaustion of the brave and fearless arab warriors. So they organize a treaty with the franks, the tyrannical Treaty of Blois, that brought the recognition of annexation by the arabs of Aquitaine and Occitania, significant losses for Christendom, bringing the christian europe on the nerves. At this moment of crisis, what will Europe be made of?
6 years later the franks call for help from the Pope to regain their lands. Seeing that the arab victory in Tours opened the doors to the muslim expansion in europe he declares that, in a vision, God told him that the Europe must be rid of the muslim plague, he waits the response from the pope.
Will the last fight, the last effort against the Islamic threat, happen?
