Chapter I - Promotion to General
Explosions lit up the night sky. Brigadier Jackson Black was commanding 82 nd Royal Brigade in a covert attack against the large Prussian fort of Festung des Großen Königs. General Henry Mathil was destroying the Prussian encampments in the surrounding area. Brigadier Black led his Brigade through the dark woods. When they entered a clearing with a small hut, they knew this was the way. The hut had an entrance into the castle, which was used as an escape route. Black ordered his second-in-command, Colonel Harrier, to take the bulk of the Brigade and assault the castle's Western flank. Black took a squad of eighteen soldiers, and descended into the dark passage.

After a short walk, they found their way into a small round chamber. There were no exits, save the dim light from the hole above. The squad grabbed large spikes from their packs, and began scaling the stone walls. Since only three could go at a time, they divided into mini-squads of six.

When the first two mini-squads had climbed the shaft and left, the last squad, commanded by Black, climbed the shaft. They emerged into a stone cellar with four doors. Two of them had "X" carved over them. Brigadier Black led his men through a door pointing Northwest. It led to the library, which was guarded by two soldiers carrying muskets. A corporal, named Corporal Anders, rushed forward and killed them both with his famous dagger.
