Twilight is practicing an experimental trans-dimensional teleportation spell. The spell is successful, and the Mane Six find themselves on Earth. Agincourt, France, in 1415, to be exact. They appear on a hill overlooking the brutal and bloody battle of Agincourt, and witness the barbarism of war for the first time in their lives.
I say it was pretty good, u took a bit too long describing the armies, try to be more concise
I liked it! I really did! But that just might be my fascination with the medieval time period. ^^
The description of the battle is spot on, but a little too technical, if you ask me. You can add some stylistic elements and some flowery language to spruce it up a bit.
I actually sorta wish you would continue with this. It would be interesting to see how the Mane Six view Medieval Warfare and the larger conflict of the Hundred Years War.
Overall, pretty good. :)
Two ways to describe this story: DARK,HUMAN
3338908 Thank you for your comment. I will certainly keep your opinions in mind. Truthfully, the entire point of the story was to try out my hand at writing about Medieval warfare. I am planning to write a three part series on ancient Equestrian wars: The Wars of Discord, The Crystal Expansion, and the Nightmare War.

I think he made the language technical specifically to show how cold-blooded the killing was. If he made the battle scenes more descriptive, he'd very easily fall into the trope of "Do not do this cool thing".
3339291 You are correct. I used technical language to show how cold and brutal the fighting really was.
The 100 years war? Interesting. Nice to see one breaking so far away form the more modern spectrum. Very nice.
3339321 Thank you.
3338907 Thank you for your feedback. I will keep your advice in mind.
War is not cool? Oh really Miss Dash? You should be given a rifle and be sent to Gallipoli!

Oh the irony! :
BTW I think you forgot the mention the pure amount of french knights, I heard one account claim that you couldn't even draw your sword there were so many soldiers jam packed in one place. Also you forgot the amount of french who slipped in the mud and got trampled.
I was immediately reminded of this when I read the title.

And the portal later reopens and drags Rainbow to Stalingard
Agincourt was brutal. But it did show the strength of the longbow quite brilliantly.
I also agree with Dash, War is not cool and this battle was hell.
Stop it. Stop. Rot is like pus - it actually takes a few hours at quickest to set in. Since this was Agincourt, there may have been a bit of time for it to happen upon survivors of the battle etc. but the girls really aren't close enough to smell it in the mass of other smells. Offal perhaps, as that means the organs and can refer to their smell as well.

3344412 That may be the case, but you would be amazed at how far scents can travel on the wind. I mostly included that for the atmosphere. Thank you for your feedback.
Faved just for the ending.
3355443 Thank you.
Excellent and the last sentence got you a like and a fav
3369099 Thank you.
I loved the medieval aspect in this fanfic. Though this may be the inner Norseman in me but I particularly liked the battle sequence. I really liked this Grimdark. The medieval warfare is the bit that drew me in to this story. And could you possibly do a Viking raid on like Lindisfarne or Paris or maybe William the Bastard(or the Conqueror)'s invasion of England? After you finish the ancient pony wars of course.
She sort of got the right place for it. It's just that we fight for a lot of things, and war becomes scientific in nature. War improves technology, technology improves science, science creates more war.
..And I love science.
Not bad, but you could use a bit more buffing on medieval weaponry.
As a rule of thumb, knives and daggers only came out in a brawl or to finish the fallen enemy. Against the horsemen charging at the pike wall, the second or third line typically contained soldiers with polearms like halberds, bec-de-corbins and guisarmes that had hooks or side spikes specifically to drag the riders off the horses, where, yes, they could be finished with short blades.
War is not cool.
You are not good at writing medyvil war stories. Stay in your lane. Peasent.

There, fixed it for you. If you're going to insult someone, have the common decency to insult them properly and correctly.
