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.
00:01:12.540 He was, of course, sad and stern.
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.
00:01:54.140 Finish this, Ottoman doll. 0.97
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.
00:02:39.000 Win the initial battle.
00:02:41.260 Then I'm just going to read through the hints really quickly.
00:02:43.700 But seize what prisoners you can. 0.92
00:02:49.160 We will impale them all back at Torgavista. 0.99
00:02:52.340 We must impale. 0.98
00:02:53.380 The one upset does not win a war, Vlad Sepes.
00:02:57.340 Ten times the number of men that you just faced advance as we speak.
00:03:02.820 Prepare to meet your god.
00:03:05.000 The border castles are the key to this region.
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.
00:03:31.920 So we are Slavs again.
00:03:34.240 And we have this magnificent castle.
00:03:37.540 This might actually be the thumbnail of the video.
00:03:39.700 So, something like that.
00:03:43.780 Epic.
00:03:45.400 Now, let's see.
00:03:46.500 We have some trade going on here as well.
00:03:51.980 And a monastery.
00:03:54.160 How nice.
00:03:56.140 Might as well start upgrading monks.
00:04:00.800 Because I do believe that, yes, the Slavic monks are a bit tougher than other monks are. 0.99
00:04:12.040 So, basically...
00:04:14.040 My lord, the boyards and the peasants in the countryside will provide us with resources to fill our arms.
00:04:21.960 But they are a fickle lord.
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
00:04:36.800 All right. 0.95
00:04:38.820 Aha, we're getting attacked now by the Turks. 1.00
00:04:43.420 Suppose we can withdraw into our castle there.
00:04:46.480 So, I thought to tip my picklehubbe to a British man, a Polish man, and a Romanian man.
00:04:57.180 See?
00:04:58.040 Things go well when Europeans cooperate. 0.96
00:05:01.420 I'm talking about the terror attack in London the other day.
00:05:05.880 Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
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
00:05:25.780 Very based.
00:05:27.300 Based and red-pilled.
00:05:31.280 Definitely something I respect.
00:05:33.180 And I thought to talk a bit about this.
00:05:36.200 Which I might do.
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.
00:05:52.240 Pujanari.
00:05:52.820 Okay.
00:05:53.280 Yeah, I got a bit interrupted there.
00:05:57.420 But I was going to say that I wanted to, yeah,
00:06:02.760 talk a bit about those people.
00:06:07.760 Those guys.
00:06:09.020 I want to salute them.
00:06:10.420 That sort of heroism and courage is something that you see every once in a while.
00:06:18.740 But not all too common, perhaps.
00:06:21.440 Especially in Western Europe.
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.
00:07:31.300 So that's something to keep in mind.
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
00:07:49.180 It's good to have a culture of heroism.
00:07:53.600 So basically what I will do is...
00:07:56.240 Yes, I will talk about my training session before I utilize and edit.
00:08:03.600 Did some good old deadlifts.
00:08:06.600 Two sets, five repetitions at 210 kg.
00:08:11.760 And then one set at four repetitions.
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.
00:08:36.920 But yeah, a very short session.
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.
00:08:49.420 So anyway, long story short.
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
00:09:06.020 See if we can survive. 0.97
00:09:06.900 Ah, I think we can.
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.
00:09:23.180 Charge brave men.
00:09:25.320 The order of the dragon.
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
00:09:53.040 And yeah, so I had to be a good father.
00:10:01.020 But that's nice too.
00:10:03.980 Maybe we need to protect these farmers against the Ottoman expansion.
00:10:12.340 Because I'm young.
00:10:20.180 So anyway, if you follow me on Telegram or Instagram, you saw that I was on a two-year celebration.
00:10:27.320 Do you remember Radu Bey, your brother?
00:10:30.920 The legions of Janissaris under his command alone outnumber the peasant rubble that you fall and up me. 0.99
00:10:39.240 Oh, that's not good.
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.
00:11:05.900 So that will be in next year.
00:11:08.080 I will start the construction.
00:11:10.760 Or I will oversee the construction of the gym.
00:11:13.900 And then I will have...
00:11:15.480 I will hold training seminars, etc. there next year.
00:11:19.960 And I have, in this year, held MMA seminars.
00:11:24.660 So yeah, good times.
00:11:27.060 Good times, indeed.
00:11:33.360 So if you wanted an update on the movement, I suppose.
00:11:40.160 The pro-Swedish movement.
00:11:42.060 So it's all about creating our own spaces.
00:11:49.920 Having our own...
00:11:51.060 Yeah, our own places to be.
00:11:56.280 Simple stuff.
00:11:58.540 And on another note...
00:12:01.880 Here's their castle.
00:12:04.380 Blasphemous.
00:12:04.940 We had...
00:12:06.940 The monk.
00:12:10.600 Aha, he actually did return.
00:12:13.040 How nice.
00:12:14.020 And there we have another monk.
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.
00:12:31.860 So anyway, in regards to my training session.
00:12:36.580 Since it's Monday, it means Bronze Age Pervert posts his podcast.
00:12:43.440 His weekly 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.
00:12:56.700 So I get the whole show.
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.
00:13:03.800 I do it because it is a good thing.
00:13:08.700 But he didn't post in time for me to hit the gym.
00:13:13.500 So I had to listen to music in between sets.
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?
00:13:47.440 I do indeed.
00:13:49.440 It's a sad and traumatic moment in European history.
00:13:54.360 The fall of Constantinople.
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.
00:14:16.080 But it was basically...
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.
00:14:52.040 Highly inglorious, but such things happens.
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.
00:16:00.960 They view it as outdated.
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.
00:16:16.660 This is medieval, what you're talking about.
00:16:20.540 But then again, these guys aren't the ones who can protect their own women.
00:16:26.740 So the last laugh is on them.
00:16:30.380 And I do think that that sort of mentality is less frequent in Eastern Europe rather than Western Europe.
00:16:45.800 And Sweden especially.
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.
00:17:02.840 Because it is needed.
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.
00:17:14.300 It's highly epic.
00:17:17.020 We will ship them across. 1.00
00:17:23.740 So many we can't even fit them.
00:17:26.000 But we can transport them and ride them up here.
00:17:32.560 Some glorious Hungarian cavalry.
00:17:41.120 Go on, get in there, Laddingtons.
00:17:44.300 We have to liberate this land.
00:17:48.660 Okay, so now they're actually putting on quite a bit of pressure here.
00:17:53.280 We have to build some boyars, I think.
00:17:56.760 And perhaps some onagers as well.
00:18:00.660 They are good units.
00:18:03.840 We can create some champions to deal with them too.
00:18:08.080 Now, of course, I do have...
00:18:12.440 Aha, our villagers are being attacked.
00:18:17.920 I cannot endorse this barbarism in the least.
00:18:22.680 I have to ride out to the rescue.
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.
00:19:12.240 So, yeah, that is my analysis.
00:19:15.960 If you see a lot of...
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.
00:20:12.600 So, that's also something to keep in mind.
00:20:18.540 How serious you take it.
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.
00:21:02.380 Complete joke of a country in a lot of ways.
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.
00:21:17.480 I'm being self-critical as a Scandinavian.
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.
00:22:25.640 They are also victims of modernity.
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.
00:22:42.960 But, again, there are a lot of similarities.
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.
00:22:55.720 So, you have a lot of similar things, too.
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.
00:23:19.160 So, that was my rant for this video.
00:23:23.500 Now we'll just, yeah, continue to weather out the Ottoman storm here. 0.99
00:23:28.560 I utilized a little edit there.
00:23:38.540 So, now we're closer to the Turkish withdrawal.
00:23:42.280 So, we're going to see what happens then.
00:23:44.620 Perhaps that would be the end of the mission.
00:23:48.840 And, yeah, then we have had a nice little time here in Valachia.
00:23:54.180 And, yeah, that was actually the end of it.
00:23:56.660 So, let's look at the story.
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.
