"I feel lied to, Alan!" Samuel yelled as another arrow pinged off the wide brim of his helm

"Not much for it now. It's not like we can stop halfway through and enjoy a slice of orange and a mug of water, is HAAAA!"

They both stared at the quivering shaft that now protruded from Alan's chainmail. The links were completely useless against the bodkin heads. The soldier sagged to his knees amoung the muck of the churned earth and fallen bodies, tears in his eyes as he grasped at the wood piercing him. Samuel rushed ot his side, grabbing Alan's wrists.

"No, you fool! You remove that and you'll just bleed out." He dropped to be level with Alan, both men in the mud as the battle raged on about both men. The din of the battle, it's clanging steel and screaming men faded away for Samuel as he held onto his brother-in-arms. 

"You were lied to, S-Sammy," Alan gasped "We... we were never..." 

Alan coughed blood as he whispered his last "Never going to make it to the...to the juice vault..."

Nobody ever said that being a soldier was easy. But he took that chance when he grabbed a helmet from a dead soldier, alongside some warm clothes and the promise of food. Somehow, he’d ended up spending the next five years as a member of this mercenary company, and even though he was discovered early on, he’d become one of them. But today was a challenging day. His helmet had absorbed most of the sword blow, and he’d been knocked unconscious while all his comrades had fallen. And though his ears rang like the warped tower bells, he’d waited before following the scoundrels until they made camp. These arrogant bastards were in for a surprise. Beneath his helmet, he grimaced like a wolf on the hunt.

This Renegade Helmet, meticulously crafted to complement Epic Armoury's Renegade Set, is the quintessential choice for mercenaries. Constructed from 1 mm thick steel, its edges are meticulously folded to ensure smoothness, eliminating any risk of sharpness. Designed in the Sallet style, popular in Europe during the mid-15th to early 17th centuries, it boasts both aesthetic appeal and historical inspiration. The helmet features an adjustable visor equipped with a secure locking mechanism, allowing for easy transition between full protection and comfort, depending on the needs of the wearer. This is especially effective when paired with the Renegade Choker, as the helmet covers the upper part of the face, head, and back of the neck while leaving the throat and lower face accessible. It is fitted comfortably with a chin strap and removable padding, ensuring that it remains both secure and comfortable during use.

You adjust your Milanese Armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, eager and afraid all at once.

The battle has begun.
