A Baltic Empire
Liudas is perhaps too self-confident and proud, however, he has reasons for that.
Damn heretics. They won't interrupt the great plans of Lithuania
Yet, more Lithuanian Hitmen may be required to truly secede Hungary from Poland for once and all. Time will tell.
While Poland was not yet broken apart by all the recent silent assassinations...
IT IS FAT SHAMING TIME!
A good man who died because of the HERESY! he tried to defeat. While some unfinished businesses in Russia were going, there were dark tidings from the east.
A new, perhaps even more fearsome Horde than the Mongol Empire, after having conquered much of India, and led by Tamerlane, advanced against the Tengri "infidels" of the Mongol Empire and Persia with the blessings of the Prophet(PBUH), almost like a Djinn out of the bottle to show that Islam was far from dead. Islam has divided the Yurt Dwellers, and now they fought each other for dominance. Hopefully this would not spell yet another future enemy for Lithuania.
Liudas had his first son.
Novgorod gained new lands, while the Timurid hordes wiped the small Shahdom of Khiva, forcing them to seek refuge in their other Shahdom, Ruthenia. Kiev already became a Persian City, and sooner or later the original lands of the Rus would become something else. The Russians were fated to oblivion.
The past deeds of Lithuanian hitmen against Poland were not enough, but now there was a too good opportunity right ahead: the heir of the Queen is in a dungeon, while the Hungarians are growing restless. It is time to finish the job, and finish it well.
It is time for the finest of Giltine to show their talent again, for Lithuania is one short step from becoming formally an Empire, and once again, the Lithuanian Hitmen will play a decisive role in such conquest.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Now that Hungary became independent and ruled by the Arpad dynasty again, it is time to go in for the final blow to seal the fate of the apostates of the true potato gods.
The strength of the Romuva true faith grows. From an isolated, dying religion, it has become something as great as Lithuania.
Meanwhile, in the land of the kebab.
Treacherous relatives. The King of Lithuania always has to pressure them into giving up such constant plotting after uncovering it.
And now, everything is ready for the closing act that will shape many things to come. Poland may be weakened, but all Catholic countries may support them as Lithuania's next step of westward expansion is about to be taken. It won't be an easy war.
The Timurids gaze upon Persia, against which a Jihad is declared. Now there is little hope for the Persians, who have previously freed themselves from the Mongol Empire only to end in this situation all over again, as the Timurids, from the Steppes of Andhairastan to the Caspian Sea, ride forward with the message of the Prophet(PBUH).
Poland still had massive armies, and the battles that were waged for Silesia were deadly. Liudas was wounded in the fight, and could even die, for in this age, any cut could be deadly.
More good news for the true faith.
The Kingdom of Poland was determined to fight to the end, misguided in their ways of the false god. All battles were hardly fought, and many thousands of brave Lithuanians would die for the rising empire.
Fortunately, Liudas made through the wounds he suffered in battle.
Then, when the Polish Army was but crushed, they came in support.
Damn Frogs...
Fortunately reinforcements were readily shipped to handle the massive French army.
An asshole Duke demanded part of the rightful core territory of the Duchy of Lithuania, which is logically a belonging of the Kingdom, for himself. He was given the answer he deserved.
The Frenchies were sent running away with white flags.
How many defenders of the Western Xian Civilization will have to be crushed before Poland realizes they are fighting for the lost cause of a dead god?
Liudas have found his courage in the battles for Silesia.
Eventually there was nothing left to do but to continue with the sieges.
Silesia is too large to be directly ruled by the Kingdom, and thus, because there is no competent adult member of the Gediminaitis without a title to be handled with Silesia, instead, the King has chosen to award it to someone purely by merit of being the best, most capable to rule over the newly conquered lands. The humble mayor of a town is thus raised to the status of the Duke of Silesia.
There were other formalities to be concluded before wearing the crown of the first Pagan Emperor in Europe since the times of Julian the "Apostate", while the true faith likewise expanded.
First, another elected heir died, and a new one had to be picked.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Finland has chosen to abandon the old gods. PERKELE PERKELE PERKELE!
And more traitors... for a change.
After internal stability was achieved, now it was finally the time. But first, it would be necessary to create Pommerania formally as a separate Kingdom.
Done... and now, a moment that would be forever remembered in History...
For over a thousand years, no pagan across Europe has ever been recognized as worthy of being called an Emperor. Now, this will change.
LONG LIVE THE WENDISH EMPIRE AND THE TRUE POTATO GODS!!! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR OF POTATO!!!
