章 1006: The Iberian Empire

Jonas Giering sat silently on a beach located on the coast of Portugal. For years he had served in the German Empire's Jaeger Regiment, as a frontline soldier kicking down doors during the Iberian Campaign. However, after the war had concluded, he found himself unable to leave behind the wasteland he had helped create. 

As the retired soldier sat back with a peaceful expression on his battle-worn face, a feminine voice filled his ears, followed by the sensation of a cold beer being pressed against his face. 

"Honey, if you stay out in the sun all day, you will become dehydrated."

With a gentle smile, Jonas looked up to see the love of his life, a woman he had once saved from a band of rapacious brigands. It had been close to a decade since the couple first met, and during this time, their love had flourished, creating a large family of their own.
