Doldrey Castle, captured by Chuda's armies.
Doldrey, considered to be unbreakable, is one of the main border Castles of Midland. It is surrounded by mountains, and a vast open wasteland sits between the Castle and a river. The large, open land makes a perfect battlefield for open wars.
History
Doldrey once belonged to Midland until the armies of Chuda invaded and took complete control. Later during the Hundred Years War, it has become a staging point for invading Midland's empire and is also a military base for Chuda's most strongest army, the Purple Rhino Knights. The Castle's governor, Lord Gennon, is also the Commander of Doldrey's armies.
The Hundred Years War
Midland is on the verge to end the Hundred Years War, and the last obstacle is Doldrey. One of the two main armies of Midland, The White Tiger Knights, have failed miserably in an attempt to capture it. After their return, a meeting with the King of Midland and his Generals was appointed as a determination in a second attempt to capture the Castle. Much discussion and arguments occurred within the meeting, and Griffith spoke up to use his Band of the Hawk at the King's disposal, containing a mere 5,000 men, against Chuda's 30,000. The King agreed as he believes in Griffith, and a mere loss would not damage Midland's army.
The Band of The Hawk was split into two, one half fighting the army head on, the other awaiting by the river, and Caska's party awaiting to capture Doldrey from the back. As Griffith and his 2,000 men attack the Purple Rhino Knight's seemingly overwhelming army, Commander Guts and his raiding party break the main offense and soon retreat to the river side, waiting for Doldrey's armies to follow. Lord Boscone of the Purple Rhino Knights was aware of Griffith's plan, but was soon ordered by Gennon to send all of his armies out of the Castle to attack the remaining forces. This allowed Caska's party the perfect opportunity to Capture Doldrey unnoticed, but upon entering the Castle they were ambushed by Adon Bocovich and his men. The final battle against the Purple Rhino Knight's had occurred, with Guts in a duel with the General himself, and Caska against Adon Bocovich.
The Band of the Hawk became victorious when Guts has defeated General Boscone and Caska's successful capture of the Castle, leaving the enemy with a loss of moral and no choice but to surrender.
