The goal prohibitionists and purity crusaders was to improve social and moral values as they saw it. Many disagreed this was an effective way to improve life.
Well, as for physical advances I' not sure. But I do know that during their travels, crusaders witnessed many marvels, such as temples and great cities. After the crusades, the people of Europe were moved and captivated by what the crusaders had seen, which greatly(if not entirely) influenced the Renaissance.
In theory, serfs were supposed to be protected by their lords. This might have meant that in theory, the serfs should not have got involved in wars. Another way of interpreting this theory was that the serfs were to be protected by organizing them for defense. But one way or the other, the serfs got involved in the wars, either as participants or as victims. There is a link below to the section on serfs' duties in an article on serfdom. According to it, there is some debate on whether serfs could be legally required to fight in combat. My bet is that the laws varied depending on time and place, and that any rule protecting the serfs was bound to be broken as required by the lord.
After the serfs gained their freedom, they were able to move about, but they had lost the security of being serfs, who had rights to the land, and so were not really much better off than they had been in many cases. In fact, in some cases, they were considerably worse off.

However, during holidays, they might have some rest from their usual duties and engage in festive activities like feasting, dancing, and attending church services. Some holidays provided a break from work and allowed serfs to spend time with their families and communities.

There were 8 crusades all together.
It was not so much what they faced but more what the people on the road that the crusaders used face when the crusaders passed them. The crusaders has also been known to plunder on their way to the holy land. But the crusaders had to deal with Muslims that intended to stop or kill the crusaders on their way to the holy land and not to mention that it was a 6 month journey. They also had to cross the Alps and Many deserts. So the elements I would say was their greatest challenge.
Generally it was the crusaders invading Muslim territory, but many battles were also prompted by Muslim warriors ambushing the Crusaders
The Crusaders mainly spoke Latin, French, and various local languages depending on the region they were in during the different Crusades. Latin was the language used for official documents and communication among the leaders, while French was commonly spoken by the higher nobility. Local languages were also used for day-to-day communication with non-Latin speakers.
