Chocolate and Saltpeter

News had quickly spread of Acre's fall, and Berengar could not care less. The reality was the Byzantine Army in itself was capable of defeating the Crusader army. Still, he was slightly worried about reports of rifled muzzleloaders being used by the enemy. He did not think they would develop that technology so soon. Even then, it was not a major concern, as their range was still vastly inferior to his own weapons. 

The young German Emperor was more focused with important matters regarding his own realm. He had just received word of the war that was being waged in the settlement of New Swabia. Emmerich had discovered tomatoes, and as a result, he had begun to fight with the natives over their many tomato plants.
