Death of an Emperor

While Berengar was managing the affairs of his realm, and preparing for an expedition to South Africa. Itami was modernizing her army and preparing for a major battle with the rebels. However, in Morocco, Hasan had already invaded North Africa and had made some significant gains in the little time since his troops had landed. 

In every battle he had waged since he arrived on the continent, Hasan and the army of Al-Andalus had prevailed. Why wouldn't they? They were battle-hardened from years of fighting against the Catholics' attempt to reclaim Iberia and were now equipped with the best weapons money could buy. In the entire western world, only the arms used by the Imperial German Army were superior to Hasan's.
