บท 893: Fleeing Georgia

The invasion of the Golden Horde was as swift as it was deadly. Merely three months had passed since the great calamity had begun, and yet within that time more than half of the Kingdom of Georgia had been either ransacked, or razed to the ground. Though Georgia was reliant on the Byzantine Empire for its protection, their allies had yet to mobilize a proper force to retaliate against the rampaging horseman. 

Currently, within the city of Poti, a German Merchant by the name of Berndth Bentzinger stood among the crowds of Georgian citizens who were seeking to flee the carnage of the turko-mongol invasion to lands that were safer and more prosperous. Under the command of King Besarion Bagrationi, every man and boy capable of bearing arms was conscripted into his army in the vain hope of defeating the enemy invaders.
