Summary
Dr. Vlad Dracula was one of the most feared men in history. He was a villain, a monster, a hero, a villain's villain, and a hero's villain. And yet, he was also a man of valor, a man who fought bravely and heroically against the might of the Ottomans.
Transcript
00:00:00.800
Greetings, Vladingtons. Welcome back to Wallachia.
1.00
00:00:06.140
We will head straight in to the fourth episode with The Moon Rises.
00:00:30.000
He brooded over his brother, Radu, who had treacherously pledged himself to the Turks.
00:00:37.800
Dracula also had his vows to the Order of the Dragon to consider.
00:00:42.940
The Pope and the Hungarian region both desired war with the Turks.
00:00:48.060
In the year 1462, Sultan Mehmed II renewed his efforts and sent a force of 18,000 into Wallachia.
00:01:01.040
Thinking that Dracula would be unable to mobilize his army quickly enough,
00:01:06.360
the Sultan sought to take Wallachia by storm with this small force.
00:01:16.200
I had heard whispers of the Tanyu butchering, but never a first-hand account.
00:01:23.820
Dracula's enduring ability to overcome the most fearsome force of his time mesmerized me.
00:01:32.280
Dracula had a thirst for blood unlike any other, but he was there.
00:01:39.320
His sense of justice brought a change in all of us.
00:01:43.140
Dracula taught us to use our strengths to our advantage.
00:01:49.200
Terror, speed, and surprise became weapons more potent than our blades.
00:02:06.140
Alright, we are in the game after yet another epic introduction.
00:02:11.820
Just a note, I do believe Dracula had a high testosterone level.
00:02:16.020
That's why he was both fair, but also had the capability of being brutal.
00:02:23.000
A sense of justice and fairness and a high level of testosterone, or a healthy, decent level of testosterone, are interlinked.
00:02:32.580
Now, that being said, we have the main objectives.
00:02:41.260
Then I'm just going to read through the hints really quickly.
00:02:49.160
We will impale them all back at Torgavista.
0.99
00:02:57.340
Ten times the number of men that you just faced advance as we speak.
00:03:08.000
We must defend them all from the Turkish onslaught.
1.00
00:03:10.740
Indeed, again, I don't know how I still can get surprised by the epic graphics.
00:03:18.860
But I suppose good things is, well, good to repeat.
00:03:25.440
I'm spreading some positive vibes when I talk about how beautiful it looks.
00:03:37.540
This might actually be the thumbnail of the video.
00:04:00.800
Because I do believe that, yes, the Slavic monks are a bit tougher than other monks are.
0.99
00:04:14.040
My lord, the boyards and the peasants in the countryside will provide us with resources to fill our arms.
00:04:25.820
Perhaps it would be wise to seize what they have before they turn it over to the dents.
1.00
00:04:30.800
Aha, so we can attack and convert the local villagers.
0.99
00:04:38.820
Aha, we're getting attacked now by the Turks.
1.00
00:04:46.480
So, I thought to tip my picklehubbe to a British man, a Polish man, and a Romanian man.
00:05:01.420
I'm talking about the terror attack in London the other day.
00:05:08.180
But, yeah, the terrorist managed to kill a young guy.
00:05:11.780
But was then attacked in turn by these three guys I just mentioned.
00:05:17.300
One of those guys, the Polish guy, I do believe, armed himself with a narwhal tusk and went on the offensive.
1.00
00:05:37.000
The arms of the sultan's vanguard shine like gold in the sun.
00:05:42.920
Soon, they will add your silver to our coffers.
00:05:46.880
Ottoman forces threaten your stronghold at Pujanari, my lord.
00:06:10.420
That sort of heroism and courage is something that you see every once in a while.
00:06:23.500
And, of course, in some other parts of the Western world where you have vilified masculinity for such a long time.
00:06:31.180
Whereas in Eastern Europe, Romania and Poland, for example, you haven't had the propaganda for as long.
00:06:41.780
So even though Romania and Poland were under communist rule, they weren't under liberalism, at least.
00:06:50.400
So that means they still haven't had the attack on soul, the attack on gender roles as much as you've had in the West.
00:07:00.760
So it's no surprise for me when it's usually Poles who commit heroic acts.
00:07:10.440
And my analysis is because they haven't vilified masculinity as much as we have in the West.
00:07:20.280
So that's probably why you see, and also, of course, in this case, Romania, suits well since we are in Romania now with good old Vlad.
00:07:33.060
If you want a society where you have heroes such as this, then you can't vilify masculinity.
00:07:41.760
So something to keep in mind for all new males and feminists, etc.
0.80
00:07:56.240
Yes, I will talk about my training session before I utilize and edit.
00:08:15.040
I couldn't manage another five with a good form.
00:08:18.800
So then it is better to simply not do the extra rep if you feel you can't maintain a good form.
00:08:28.860
So then I just did some barbell rows as well to get some more working.
00:08:39.200
I managed the progression anyway in the deadlift because the last session before that was only one set at five repetitions.
00:08:50.640
And yeah, the important part is that I managed the progression.
0.93
00:09:01.960
Now my monk here will be shot by these Ottomans.
0.99
00:09:11.460
These Janissaris will pay for their insolence.
1.00
00:09:16.520
We have been attacked here as well, but yeah, it's sorted itself out, I suppose.
00:09:26.700
And now I will get back to the monastery with this guy here as well.
00:09:39.860
So I was originally supposed to make this video yesterday.
00:09:42.860
But a certain princess of ultimate cuddles was very attention seeking.
1.00
00:10:03.980
Maybe we need to protect these farmers against the Ottoman expansion.
00:10:20.180
So anyway, if you follow me on Telegram or Instagram, you saw that I was on a two-year celebration.
00:10:30.920
The legions of Janissaris under his command alone outnumber the peasant rubble that you fall and up me.
0.99
00:10:40.260
Anyway, as I was going to say before he so rudely interrupted my line of thought.
00:10:48.960
I was at a two-year anniversary for the Free Sweden.
00:10:53.940
The Free Sweden project and Svensk Nasus, the house of Swedes.
00:10:59.080
And that's where I will have the gym when the time comes.
00:11:15.480
I will hold training seminars, etc. there next year.
00:11:33.360
So if you wanted an update on the movement, I suppose.
00:12:18.300
I will train some more monks so we can convert the Ottoman forces.
0.91
00:12:26.000
Okay, so it said in the hints to not attack this castle directly.
00:12:36.580
Since it's Monday, it means Bronze Age Pervert posts his podcast.
00:12:44.460
I can definitely recommend you to listen to it, by the way.
00:12:51.840
I've even signed up for a year premium subscription.
00:12:58.060
And it's money well invested, I can assure you.
00:13:00.720
So I'm not only doing it because I want to support him.
00:13:08.700
But he didn't post in time for me to hit the gym.
00:13:20.180
Otherwise, if he has posted, I listened to his podcast in between sets.
00:13:27.980
And then, of course, during the sets, I put on some heavy metal or similar things.
00:13:34.600
Even the vast walls of Constantinople crumbled before the might of our bombards.
0.98
00:13:41.820
Do you truly think that your measly fortifications will withstand the barrage?
00:13:49.440
It's a sad and traumatic moment in European history.
00:13:56.420
But something to keep in mind is that the Byzantine Empire had been on the decline for quite some time when it happened.
00:14:03.520
So yeah, it wasn't the Byzantine Empire at the height of its glory that got defeated.
00:14:20.080
Yeah, Constantinople was still in the possession of the Byzantines.
00:14:23.280
But other than that, it was quite hollowed out.
00:14:28.360
And, of course, a point of shame for the Latins.
0.61
00:14:33.520
Especially the Venetians was the sack of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, if I'm not mistaken.
00:14:42.760
I do think it was the Fourth Crusade where the Western Crusaders sacked Constantinople.
00:14:56.580
But now we are a few years, at least, later than the tragic day of the fall of Constantinople.
00:15:08.580
And we can defend Valachia, at least, and relive the legend of Vlad Dracula.
0.96
00:15:17.020
So anyway, continuing on my discussion on masculinity and culture, etc.
00:15:23.340
It's something quite refreshing if you look upon Polish culture.
00:15:28.720
Now, of course, I'm not saying that all Polish guys are interested in masculine endeavors.
00:15:36.380
And are completely shielded from unmanly behaviors, etc.
00:15:43.740
And I'm not saying that all Westerners are feminized.
00:15:47.260
But I do know, at least in Sweden, there are a lot of men who view heroism, honor, the pursuit of martial prowess, the pursuit of strength.
00:16:02.840
And, you know, if you talk about masculinity, if you talk about being strong and honorable and being heroic,
00:16:11.560
they will sort of laugh at you and say, oh, how outdated you are.
00:16:20.540
But then again, these guys aren't the ones who can protect their own women.
00:16:30.380
And I do think that that sort of mentality is less frequent in Eastern Europe rather than Western Europe.
00:16:46.820
And that is also why I try to, well, get people to, especially in Sweden, to be a bit more, to embrace their masculinity a bit more.
00:17:04.420
If you have a society without men, it's not a good idea.
0.78
00:17:10.540
So anyway, we have gotten some Hungarian true friends.
00:17:26.000
But we can transport them and ride them up here.
00:17:48.660
Okay, so now they're actually putting on quite a bit of pressure here.
00:18:03.840
We can create some champions to deal with them too.
00:18:26.440
Attack the valiant elite boyars of the Order of the Dragon.
00:18:31.800
So I talked about the ironic guys or ironic culture.
00:18:42.260
And I'm not saying that, you know what, you can never joke, etc.
00:18:46.040
But if you view everything as a joke, if someone says it's important with heroism and masculine values and virtues,
00:18:56.160
and someone transforms it into a joke, that becomes a problem.
00:19:02.580
And that is what I mean with the ironic guys, that they cannot take anything seriously.
00:19:07.660
And that is something I see more in the West rather than the East.
00:19:17.420
If you see that Poles have, on average, in general, they have a more healthy masculinity than a lot of Western men.
00:19:36.100
And speaking of this, if we're talking about football hooligans...
00:19:40.240
So, in the EuroCup 2016, the British hooligans got absolutely wrecked by the Russian hooligans.
1.00
00:19:49.800
It's because the Russian hooligans are more serious about being good at violence.
1.00
00:19:55.280
And, of course, then they will wreck the British guys who are out more for doing drugs, drinking alcohol, having a good old time.
0.88
00:20:04.880
And then you have the Russian guys being out to be as formidable as possible in teamfighting, basically.
00:20:20.400
For the Russian guys, yeah, it's super serious.
00:20:23.220
Now, of course, the British hooligan scene has been under quite strict regulations by the British state.
00:20:34.600
And the British state is also a bit more overbearing than the Russian state.
00:20:40.360
Back in the day, people used to believe that Russia was a totalitarian state.
00:20:47.080
And I suppose, to a certain extent, they might still be.
00:20:50.100
But they are nowhere near as totalitarian as England or Great Britain.
00:20:56.260
Great Britain takes the price, I would say, in terms of being totalitarian.
00:21:06.020
And then, of course, I'm not saying that to slight any British guys who are listening, because Sweden isn't much better either.
00:21:13.600
We have a lot to work with, so I'm just being self-critical.
00:21:23.100
So, what I'm not saying is that Eastern Europe is better than Western Europe.
00:21:29.160
Of course, Eastern Europe has plenty of problems, but you can make a quite easy analysis.
00:21:37.040
If you look at Eastern Europe, they have been more severely hit, economically speaking, because they were under communism.
00:21:46.300
And Western Europe has been more morally hit, because we have been under liberalism.
00:21:53.560
So, that can be said to be a good difference, an easy, understandable difference.
00:22:02.320
If you are under communism, your economy suffers.
00:22:05.400
If you are under sort of extreme liberalism that we've had in the West, it will take its toll on the population.
00:22:13.960
So, again, that being said, I'm not completely saying that Eastern European culture is so well-preserved.
00:22:28.540
And I'm not saying that we haven't had economic problems in the West, but I'm just generalizing very heavily here.
00:22:38.480
But I thought that could be a good way to describe it.
00:22:46.760
And, you know, if we're talking about such a thing as porn addiction, I'm sure it's equally bad in Great Britain or in Sweden or in Poland.
00:22:57.460
But in terms of culture, I would say there is a difference that comes to the fore in certain ways.
00:23:07.000
So, simply what we can learn is that it is not a good idea to have a culture, a society which do not value masculine values, basically.
00:23:23.500
Now we'll just, yeah, continue to weather out the Ottoman storm here.
0.99
00:23:38.540
So, now we're closer to the Turkish withdrawal.
00:23:48.840
And, yeah, then we have had a nice little time here in Valachia.
00:24:00.720
Unfortunately, this was where my lord and I were settling.
00:24:07.760
The Turks entered the castle courtyard of Poyanari with murder on their mines and ransacked the fortress that we had fought so hard to defend.
0.56
00:24:19.400
Taking refuge in a secret tunnel, I watched Drachula's boat flow down the sky.
00:24:27.340
The stone bastions of Poyanari never caught flame, so I was spared.
0.53
00:24:34.180
As if God was with us, an avalanche struck the departing Turkish army and blocked the route to the castle.
00:24:42.880
Although this evidence of divine retribution stirred our host, I figured it was caused by the enemy error.
00:24:52.040
I was not eased by the change in the mood of our host.
00:24:58.000
The calls of wolves and the bats filled the air as we feasted.
00:25:03.100
It seemed that the old man was lost in ruminations of times long gone by.
00:25:23.180
And in the next episode, we will go to what I think at least is the final, The Night Falls.
