My soldiers, my brother, you know why you are here today ! You left your family and your village to serve your noble country : Wales ! The red welsh dragon is against the english lion, who will win ? I know you are scared, but me I'm sure we will win if you, you are with me ! Our courage will enter in the history and the world will remember of the take of the Conwy castle ! After the winning of this battle, the english will give us all their wealth, the nobility will reward us with gold and food in abundance ! He that outlive this day and come safe home will be proud and strong when this day is named, your children and little children will be in admiration when you will tell our battle ! The bards will sing epic songs and tails to all the peoples about this battle !
But now, we will talk about our strategy. The castle seems to rise out of the hills and it has a great view all around him. From the top of any of the towers there is always soldiers who watch around the castle. They have views of the sea and the countryside. That's why in 3 days we will attack because the king will organise a ceremony to celebrate his victory of the battle of Dolbadarn Castle and everybody will be invited, so they will not have anybody on the towers.
We can't besiege the castle, it is just next to the river so they have water in abundance. I've been thinking a lot about it and I found another good strategy. It would be easier to attack them by moving soldiers along the road. They will be took by surprise and will have no defense. During the attack, me and a little group of elite soldiers will enter in the castel discretly by using ropes to block all entries. Don't kill children and woman, make them prisoners. That will be not easy, enemy's soldiers will defend themeself. No mercy for them, but I want the king alive to execute him in public, it will be our revenge !!!!! We must avenge our brothers who were killed by the english !!!!!
ARE YOU WITH ME ?

Today, a change begins. We have to rise up against our despot, Edouard the First. We will stop the power he has on us right now, he will not control us any longer, that time is over. To achieve it, we will attack the Conwy Castle and then destroy the iron ring. You all agree ?

First, we have to establish a plan attack. We will attack the workers, behead some of them and scarify their forehead with a threat written on it : « KING DEATH ». We will plant their head on a pole and put it in front of others workers' houses to warn them. After that, we will destroy the fondations, the four barbicans already built, then pull down the palisades and put the fire on the motte.

Come on my brothers, my comrades ! Are you ready to take the power ? Are you ready to put a end to our king's reign ? Are you ready to get our freedom back ? God will gives us the strenght to fight Edward the First, it's time.

Listen to me ! You are here by obligation and patriotism. You must serve your king, you have not got the choice. I, Chief of the Army, will motivate you to your end. Do not give anything. Our goal, our duty, is now the assault of Conwy castle. The castle of the King was built by a great architect called James of Saint George. He has made ​​sure that the king will able to see all of his realm. It is therefore difficult to approach the fortress very discreetly. That is why, day and night, for many months, I developed a great theory. Our army is very large, so we will divide into two parts. The part with the least soldier will surely approach the fortress by the sea. Then the king will prevent his troops an assault of boat is about to dock. Each will focus of this part of our army. However during the first approach of this part of our troops, the second group, many more, will be held to the rear of the castle, near the three towers, you will go there with catapults. By groups of three you will catapult the castle, destroying mainly the left part of the interior. Reach the court is of little use. Therefore there has an opening, the rest of the soldiers enter inside. Enemy's troops will be on the tip of land near the sea, they will expect the accostement of our ships. Our soldiers who seized inside, put themselves on the murderous. They will shoot the enemy who stay outdoors, taken by surprise.The army is surrounded and will be harmless. The assault of the castle is finally over, and we will be victorious ! GO.
