The Birth of a Great Nation

15 years ago, Simon Bouchard, was an official of one of the many fiefdoms of the Inster duchy, specifically the Malsag barony. His job was to help his lord Baron Kirk Malsag as an accountant, but after detecting an irregular deviation and undeclared misuse of the annual budget for the quarry area, he gave notice to the Audit Authority of the Treasury, handing over the books of accounts.

The baron thought that he would be cornered with the intervention but it turned out that the auditors were sent from Duke Inster. Their dirty business would suffer, if he became publicly known about the slaves who worked incessantly in the quarries, so to get rid of someone who would be a nuisance later on, they decided to give him a lesson worthy of his mistake.

The duke's assassins arrived at Bouchard's house and taking advantage of the fact that he was outside, they entered by force. When he returned, they beat and handcuffed him, not satisfied with the attack, they gouged out one eye, so that with the remaining one, he would witness the savage rape of his daughters. His wife had received the same treatment before he arrived but she was dismembered to put her head on Simon's legs.

The cries of terror and calls for help began to drive him crazy and once they finished their work, they hung the young women from the ceiling to close the macabre show with a fire.

They dragged him through the streets to serve as an example to other employees and, in a dying state, put him face to face with the masterminds of his misfortune; the baron and the duke.

They gave him one last message before he was sent as a prisoner to the quarries: "The punishment for meddling, has just begun."

Those words were enough to make his world completely collapse. He spent 5 years in the mines being flogged relentlessly as punishment at the request of the baron, to then be taken to the slave fair and bought by Viscount Chade's daughter, who used him as a toy for 3 years until she was fed up.

He lived like garbage waiting to die but, the day they knocked on the viscount's door, the true terror would unleash in front of him. Sunday accompanied by Don Tony's men presented himself as the owner of the land where Chade resided and demanded that it be returned to her.

When she was being treated like a lunatic girl, the viscount, was held and dragged into the outer courtyard. All slaves were invited to observe what would happen next after being freed.

The arrogant daughter of the viscount, was about to slap Sunday, that she kept still on purpose, but one of the gangsters took her arm and broke it. The exposed fracture looked painful and Sunday was just clapping.

-Damn brat! Stop clapping.- the viscountess was whipped and beaten with sticks wrapped in barbed wire as she yelled

The viscount began to tremble and panic when he felt an arm wrap around his neck.

-Smile so that everyone is happy. Today is a day to remember haha- Vico Gorgi laughed to the beat of the viscountess

-Oh! Are you scared? ... hahaha! - Sunday moved in front of Chade, took out a portable torch and a serrated knife

-Hold them and prepare the iron with the fire all for our young lady to play dollhouse- Piero Rosso's macabre smile froze the slaves' veins when they saw a brazier

Chade's daughter was held down to keep her from moving as she screamed in pain from her broken arm. Sunday moved quickly to cleanly cut the hanging arm and lit the torch

-The more vile the scum, the more painful the punishment-

-AHHH !! - The torch flame was placed directly on her bone and the hanging tendons that were scorched

The smell of burning meat flooded the noses of those present leaving them in shock. Sunday began to heat the blade of the knife until it turned red and turned in the direction of the viscountess.

-How cute! My men will love to watch me butcher cows-

The cut of the meat began in slices of the abdominal area and as soon as the fight to escape was given, the stabs were repeated until it opened the belly. Everything became a pool of blood and guts that were put on the grill in the brazier. The meat was cooked while Sunday, who was wearing a red apron, hummed a song and when it were cooked, she served it on a plate in front of Chade and his daughter.

-I have been praised for being an excellent cook, I want you to taste my delicacies. Bon appetit! -

Through tears, cry and snot, they were forced to eat part of the viscountess and the amputated arm.

-Until they finish the plate they won't get up! - The smell mixed with Sunday's sick and disgusting smile made them retch

-Good! How are my children? Did you enjoy my gift? this is just the beginning of the punishment- she kindly, greets the slaves

The horrors to which Chade and his daughter would be subjected would be the sample of the destiny of whoever dares to go against the girl with platinum hair. They were released, only to end up as inhabitants of the ex viscounty, now annexed to Loren as the border town of Corial.

Simon was taken apart from the rest to strike a deal with his liberators. As a connoisseur of Baron Malsag and Duke Inster's secret, he would work to penetrate his personal vengeance.

He obtained the post of emperor after a meeting at the Green Palace that made it clear to him that his promotion would only serve as a front to cover up the true leaders.

Emperor Bartolomeus "The one-eyed" Polaris was born and would lend his name to the creation of the largest and most ruthless empire on the continent.

For his people, his government would be with an iron hand before the insurgents and benevolent with those who demanded justice and equity. From his failures he learned from the worst of demons to show a perverse and sharp side with which he knew how to administer those under his command in the Mystic Topaz palace.

To avoid suspicion, he was assigned an empress with the same level of vengeful rage. The witch Zara, became his wife, doctor and confidant, then two equally poisonous concubines joined the harem, the murderous twins, Thalia and Danyka.

Although he obtained a new family and descendants, that did not separate him from his objective and with the order received he prepared for war.

Warmongering propaganda spread like moisture throughout the Empire and to finish convincing the country to enlist, he announced that he would join the war and command the army to fight for the welfare of the nation.

They began with simple invasive announcements on radios, television, posters posted on the walls, and with speeches of hope from the emperor every 20 days, so that within two months, the recruitment rate rose to almost 15,000.

There would be no gender distinction, more if the minimum age required from 14 years old, which gave Sunday, the opportunity to enter the armed forces.

The training would take place in border areas and at sea. On the day the recruits were to leave, thousands of families came out to see them off at the train station and at the port, but seeing the Pontiac family hugging their two children, patriotism resounded.

The idea of ​​returning safely to make up for the anguish of their families would be done at all costs.

All the passengers on the military train were the same until they got a rank for their achievements, and among the youngsters, the Pontiac heirs brazenly mixed.

-The shipyard finished all three vessels as you requested. Ren and the metallurgists are putting the finishing touches on the panzers and your other request was accepted. We just have to wait.- Frey got out of the passenger car to take a breath

-Heh ... soon Sodifrim will feel our power and they will wish had never interfered. They will know hell on earth.- Sunday's eyes glowed in the dark searching for his prey

Panzer is short for Panzerkampfwagen, a German word for "armored fighting vehicle." They were war tanks used in WWII especially in blitzkrieg strategy. There are several types according to weapons and cannons, to be used in certain battlefields.
