The War for Austria Begins

Currently, Duke Wilmar was alongside his vassals, including Count Otto, who had regrouped with the main army of Austria at Munich to which they were currently laying siege. They were inside the commander's tent within the siege camp, where they were discussing tactics for the ongoing siege that had already been raging on for a total of fifteen days at this point. While going over preparations for building a tunnel beneath the city walls, a messenger rushed into the tent with dire news in hand.

"My Liege, I am sorry for the intrusion, but the news is urgent!"

Seeing the distressed expression on the messenger's face, Duke Wilmar calmly responded to his uninvited appearance.

"What news is so grim that you would interrupt my war council?"

Noticing the unfriendly gazes of the vassals gazing upon him, the messenger instantly gulped his saliva while finding the courage to report the grave situation back in Austria.
