>>28707866
Nay, mine flail can do the work of ten halbediers and inspires greater tribute from my peasants than any halberswine will ever know

A regiment of longbowmen with favourable terrain of course!

>>28707866
Surely you jest. Halberd are not the weapon of a nobelman, they belong in company with the rest of the rabble.

>>28707909
>letting peasants get close enough to touch you

I sincerely hope you jest, I stuff mine masque with Aromatic items as to not catch the peasant's poor.

>>28707837
The threat of Mongolian invasion.

A good solid sword.

Peasant rabble arent armored and thus it is one of the care case where the sword, as used as originally designed, will actually be useful for once.

>>28707866
>Halberd

lol okay John Barleycorn

True nobles use polexaes.

Must a nobleman even go down to beat up peasant rabble?

Shouldnt mercenaries be used for that?

>>28708189
>Poleaxe
Art thou a proud owner of buttsticks aswell?

Dogs.

Why bother doing it yourself when some hungry obedient mongrels will be happy to?

>bonus: don't have to feed the mongrels that day

I bet thee've ne'er been close to a feeld of bateylle,

>>28708203
This man speaketh the trueth.

You lot are but command thugs, and deserve not the banner that flies over your "Armies"

Sire! Mine corps of spies suggests there's naught that raises you above the rabble like a mount and lance!

>>28708308
Sayeth that to mine face and not delivered from a courier, knave.

Take heed lords, for this noble hath professed the truest.

A fine solid mace worketh well on the peasantry if thine art merely suppressing.

>Dark skinned peasant approacheth while traveling down street
>Demands I give him my Florins for tribute
>I reply nay and continue on my way
>He unsheathes his dagger
>thouartshittingme.tapistry
>Grabeth mine concealed mace and give him a good bashing on the head
>I leaveth as if I had not been disturbed

It worketh well I tell ye

When oppressing the masses, it the implement best suited is naught but clubs and wood poles, they're pinful, but won't kill thou workforces.
As a wise prophet said, The strong make many, the weak make few, the dead make none.

make plain why ye leaveth your castle when well calibrated trebuchets should suppress the peasantry adiqately.

>>28708597
Thou must be shittinget me. Trebuchets? on peasantry? Thou must be in the mood for a revolt, lest ye continue with this course of action.

>>28708523
Hark! Surely such occasions cause my flanks to take flight to the heavens!

The best weapons against the lesser classes are taxes and conscription.

>>28708625
the ire and anger of the common folk concern me not. their wellbeing is naught from mine lofty parapets

>>28708523
Thou art no better that the street rabble ye claim to defeat. A quarter staff would have served thee just as well, without lowering thou self to their mongeral standards.

>>28708523
>>28708695
Dark skinned knave lives matter

What need have ye for such instruments? Only the king's men and constables should wield those! Pray tell, do ye plan to take the entire realm!?

>>28708695

Surely you jest, sire. A quarter staff lacketh the required intimidation mine mace bringith

>>28708670
Spoken like a true Frank good sir.

>>28708670
Surely Thou must understand that the anger of the common folk is how empires fall, and while I care not for thier comforts, I do allow for some lienecy within my keep. If a particular family has produced good crops, and has been exceptionally loyal, thier sons may not go oft to war. Small incentives help keep the peasants going.

>>28707837
Fear

>>28708700

Clearly thou meanst "Moor lives matter"...as laughable a concept as it be.

>pronouncing that peasants should require rewards other than life and that i do not claim prima nocta

>pronouncing

I tax them nigh one half what i could. they should be grateful

>>28708791
varilly as those dusky skinned fellows do commit such humorous shennanigans

Common sense gun laws

gonne? what speaketh of thou "gonne?"

>>28709017
A gun art swell for dispatching one foe, so I bid thee to buy a sword

>>28709038
>precisely
the day that one man might slay 10 with an arquebus in as many minutes is the day I fling open the gates to mine keep and feed all of the rabble

>>28709038
yea, forsooth, thou slay one foe mighty efficiently!

>>28709077
quite, if thou desire to be within 5 paces of thine enemy

Cannon

Drones, no knock raids, taxes, Patriot Act, etc.

Nay, have a vassal employ a merchant to hire such filth. One can never be too careful, encountering the commonfolk.

>>28708709
Thy quaterstaff has a greater reach than mace

>>28707837
Bribery. Throw a feast now and then and lower taxes when they threaten revolt.

No point squeezing water from a stone.

>>28707837
Fire

>>28707837
Enjoy a crossbow bolt fucking your shit up.
