章節 59: Rommel's Past

Location Restaurant in the Forward Village

POV: Kyle's

I put my hand on the pistol that is in the holster, ''Wait! I am not your enemy, I am, or better said, my father, was like you!'' Rommel said hastily knowing he said it wrong. I sat down, but I am still weary, 'The son of a Wanderer? IMPOSSIBLE! The Confederation wouldn't allow this? It could create potential problems in the future if the descendants know too much.' I analysed. ''Speak and tell me what you know,'' I ordered him.

''Yes Marshall, this is not a very short story so please be patient as I start from the Beginning.'' Rommel said, I nodded as in acknowledgement that he could continue, '' As you might have read somewhere or known I have been born 15 November 1891, My father was Erwin Johannes Rommel Sr. My father never stood out neither at work or anywhere else, until he took me down once to the basement on November 1913. I would, of course, think it would hold old furniture or wine nothing really precious down there. But what was down there was my first introduction to what my father calls the 'Unseen' war. Down there was a complex of Tunnels and equipment, I have not seen any of it before. The planes that were just invented looked like scrap with what my father had down there, I did not know at the time what it was though as it didn't look like a plane of that time and I didn't relate it and just ignored it. the further we went the more weird devices I saw and more bothered I was about all of it, Yet I did not know that my father showed me to protect me.''

He explained me about a War between two Factions, one called the Unionists and the Other called the Confederation, ''The Unionists send Liberators to as my father calls it 'Timelines' Although he did not explain what they were, and the confederation sends Wanderers. And that he, my father was a wanderer, send here to conquer this planet, of course, it sounded absurd, but after seeing the technology down there I came to believe it later. The Confederation has sent what is known as foreign Wanderers in hopes to conquer the timeline but from the 38 send over the past 3000 years all have failed, while the Union have sent 21 Foreign Liberators the past 4000 years and 3 Home Liberators, yet all 24 have died and the last 200 years a Liberator my father calls the Holy man has been sent, My father was shivering as he said this name. My father told me this as he was going on a mission against the Union he might not be able to come back from.'' Rommel had a pained face as he told me this,

he continued: '' The mission was found out by a spy from the Union, My father and 300 of his friends died on the mission. I burned the basement as My house was compromised after my father's death, I noticed as weird vehicles and soldiers started to search around the town. Ever since my Fathers death, I have continued to fight the Unionists influences in Germany, and after hearing from other Wehrmacht members who were already recruited by you said that an Unknown Organisation appeared made me Believe that another Wanderer has appeared. To help you I started to promote your Organisation gaining more than 75% of the Wehrmacht behind you, only after I finished everything last month did I finally take the initiative to find you.''

He took a deep breath before continuing: ''Yet after finding out the Base in Germany was destroyed I almost broke down thinking you had died as well Marshall, luckily recruiters were stationed around it to see any Unionist activity but also to reroute Generals to the new Base. I expressed my will to join, they cuffed me and took me to the testing site but after I told my name the Person responsible told me to go and wait at this Inn, telling me that 'The Marshall' would come. I didn't believe it But it seems you did come. And I am glad. After almost 30 years of gathering Intel on them I have found out a great deal, I think you know most of it Already, But the last pieces I heard was that around Manchester a Massive Object which looks like a Spider was being created, I could not confirm it myself, but this might be of interest to you. I hereby swear my complete devotion if you grant me two wishes.'' Rommel said.

''What?'' I asked curiously. ''One to allow me to kill the Unionist leader and two to Take me With you when you leave!'' Rommel asked seriously ''I want to go to the world my father came from it was ruled by a king named Shen Yong Nian, please allow me to see his world.'' Rommel continued, 'Sigh' ''Rommel, The first request I can grant you, but I cannot guarantee that we can even touch him, the last one I am not sure of, as I do not know about the rules.'' I replied dejectedly, ''Are you not from his World?'' Rommel asked confused, before continuing ''My father said that all Wanderers set to conquer a timeline are taken from one specific world with similar Technological or laws of Physics.''

''Rommel I am not from the World from your father, I am from here, This world, but in the future.'' I replied earnest, ''You...you...you!, are a Home Wanderer!'' Rommel exclaimed, ''I am not really sure what that means but yes.'' I replied confused to his exclamation. ''We might actually win this,'' Rommel muttered. ''Rommel I accept your allegiance but please do tell me more about the Union you know over Lunch.'' I replied while signalling the waiter, ''Ah yes of course, please excuse my manners.'' Rommel said embarrassed, '45 years old, friendly, direct, walking knowledge. This was a great surprise.' I thought to myself.
