An army bearing the legendary white field with the black cross upon it marched through the town of Suhl; the Teutonic Order was close to the region of Bavaria. After making their stop in Suhl, and resupplying the army would advance forwards through the Bavarian Alps and into Tyrol, where they would raze Berengar's lands to the ground.
Or at least that was the plan. Currently, the Teutonic Order was conscripting as many men from the town as possible into their army. Young or old, as long as they were capable of bearing arms, they were stripped from the towns the Teutonic Army visited and placed into their ranks as levies.
So I have an announcement to make for those of you who actually care to read my little rants at the end of these chapters. I will be revising chapters 18 and 19 later tonight. As you may know, those are my two most controversial chapters. To make it clear, I am not revising them because they are controversial; I do not care in the slightest about being controversial. I mean, for Christ's sake, this novel is about German unification and imperialism. Which for some reason I just know there is someone out there who will eventually take fault with that.
I am revising them because apparently "sexually violent" content is against the rules for the contest this Novel is a part of. Though my chances of being nominated (let alone winning) the contest are slim, I would at least attempt to win, then get DQd for a couple of chapters.
Basically, I will be taking the chapters where Linde is, how do we say coerced onto Berengars side and making them more... romantic and consensual. It is in no way going to change her character or any major aspect of the story. So for those of you who enjoy the romantic aspects, I thought I would give you a heads up so you can go read the changes sometime tonight or tomorrow.
As always, thanks for reading the story, and thanks for paying attention to my little rant.
