Weeks had passed since the day that Berengar visited his favorite prisoner, and the time had finally arrived. In the clearing outside the German Fortress that acted as its primary settlement in Mesoamerica, an army of roughly twenty-five thousand Aztecs stood, gazing in shock at the fortifications that had seemingly sprung up overnight.

They did not know how such a thing could come to exist without them knowing, but it would explain the many disappearances that had occurred over the past few months. Still, with the overall size of the settlement, it did not appear that many people were inside of the fortress. At most, it had to be a thousand men.

The golden-haired german soldiers acted as the guardians of their settlement in the new world.

If so, why did they appear to be so hostile? There were many questions in the mind of the Aztec warriors as they struggled to muster the courage to approach the large star-shaped settlement.

While the Aztec host was debating on how to proceed. A German officer gazed through his binoculars before reporting his evaluation of the enemy army to his emperor.

Berengar looked towards his officer as if the man was an idiot. He could plainly see that they were reacting in shock. However, he did not respond condescendingly to the officer, and instead gave him an order on how to proceed.
