Here lie the remnants of a great town. Famous of its walls, noted because of its military reputation. Travellers tell you of a war in past. Namely the 13 Years' War which left Uxkhal in ruins. In 1276 the Kingdom of Rhodoks invaded Swadian lands until they reached the very walls of Uxkhal. King Harlaus II the Bold was fighting rebels on the banks of the Suerder river nearby Haringoth castle. When he got notified of this great invasion, it was too late. Uxkhal had fallen. The King immediately recruited troops and went to Vyincourd castle to prepare for a siege.
^^The siege of Uxkhal lasted for 2 years. The Rhodoks didn't give up. This left Uxkhal very depopulated and devastated. A traitor opened the gates for the Swadians and they entered the town. Within some hours the town was back in Swadian hands after 2 years of siege. The Rhodoks sent reinforcements, but they were too late. And again the town of Uxkhal was under siege. Technological advancements brought new and enormous trebuchet. These could break down the great walls, but also destroyed many buildings in the town. King Harlaus II the Bold ordered to open the gates and send out his best troops with him first. In this Battle of the Red Fields he would find his end, leaving the Kingdom in chaos. A monument marks the place of his death. His sword allegedly is still lost. Many people started a search, but without luck. Perhaps you can try it? Or it has gone for ever.
^^The Rhodoks won the battle, but at high cost. Many Rhodok noble knights died in this bitter fight. Blood coloured the battlefield red, that's why it's called the Red Fields. The town of Uxkhal would pay the price for this bitter, hard fight. Rhodok soldiers entered, plundered and razed the town. After this the remaining people left their homes and moved to the countryside or other towns. Uxkhal was no more.{***}
这里有一座伟大城镇的遗迹。他的城墙因军事上的成就而著名。旅行者们告诉了你过去的战争。也就是长达13年的战争让乌克斯豪尔成为废墟。1276年罗多克王国入侵斯瓦迪亚人的土地,直至他们到达乌克斯豪尔的城墙。英勇的哈劳斯国王二世在临近哈伦哥斯堡的Suerder河岸与叛军作战。当他得知罗多克人已大举入侵时,已经太晚了。乌克斯豪尔沦陷了。国王立即雇佣了军队,并且赶去温科德堡为围城做准备。
^^围攻乌克斯豪尔持续了两年时间。但罗多克人没有放弃。这让乌克斯豪尔人口大量减少并且满目疮痍。一个叛徒为斯瓦迪亚人打开了大门,然后他们进入了城镇。在长达两年的围攻后,城镇在两小时内又回到了斯瓦迪亚人的手中。罗多克人派出了增援部队,但他们太迟了。乌克斯豪尔再一次被包围了。技术进步带来了新的、庞大的投石机。这些投石机可以摧毁巨大的城墙。但同时也会摧毁城里的许多建筑。英勇的哈劳斯国王二世命令打开城门,并且首先派出了他最好的军队和他一起,在这场战役中,在这片洒满鲜血的土地上,他将看到他的结局,在混乱中舍弃了这个王国。一座纪念碑记录了他死去的地方。据说他的剑遗失了。许多人动身寻找,但是没有那个运气。也许你可以试一试?或者它会永远遗失。
^^罗多克人赢得了这场战争,但付出了很大的代价。许多罗多克贵族骑士在这场苦战中丧生。鲜血将战场染成了红色,这就是为什么它被称为“红色的土地”。乌克斯豪尔城为这场艰苦、困难的战斗付出了代价。罗多克士兵进入城镇,掠夺并且将城市夷为了平地。在这之后,剩下的人们离开了他们的家园,迁移到了乡村或者另外的城镇。乌克斯豪尔已不复存在。
