So, Jenghiz Khan, the first badass Khakan, boss of all bosses, decided to test fortune by bashing the Chinese in the face. The Chinese wary of the sublime albeit lethal cavalry, retreat to fortified positions. Jenghiz aka Genghis uses wits and some unfortunate cats and swallows, which coating with oil turns the buggers into incendiary devices.
Weirder still is the initial dispatches making their way to Europe via the Silk Road. People thought the Christian armies of the mythic Prester John of India were coming west to fight the Muslims occupying the so-called Holy Lands. Not exactly. Kiev was erased for its impudence.
