Chapter 1: Last Line of Defense

1930, Somewhere in Vladovsk, Vladland.

"Mein Fuhrer, the enemy has successfully encircled our last line of defense." A Yound Man or rather boy, clad in a military uniform, spoke to a man sitting on a chair, who is also like the boy clad in a military uniform.

The man didn´t react to the report the young boy gave. He just sat there silently while looking to the table right in front of him. On top of the table was a map were everyone could clearly see a battle plan drawn on top of it.

After about 5 minutes the boy spoke again.

"Mein Fuhrer, what are your next orders?" The young boy asked in a somewhat unsure voice, unclear on what is going through the mind of the person in front of him.

"What is your name?" The person asked in a calm voice.

"My name is Alexandro Kovska, Mein Fuhrer." The boy answered without even batting an eye.

"Good, Alexandro, go outside inform General Nicea and General Hoothy to come inside. Also go back to the front line and defend our last line of defense till your last breath." The man spoke again in a calm voice as if the report didn´t warn him of an incoming doom.

"Mein Fuhrer, I, Alexandro Kovska swear on my name that I will defend our motherland till my body is torn to pieces." Alexandro spoke in a resolute voice, exactly understanding that he may not live to see another day.

After this he went outside the room and did as he was told to. Shortly after two man came in the room where Alexandro left. The two persons were General Nicea and General Hoothy.

"Mein Fuhrer, what can we do for you?" One of them asked in a wobbly voice.

"General Nicea, have you not told me that Koheiwan Army will need at least 1 wee k till they reach Vladovsk and 2 weeks to completly encircle us?" The Fuhrer spoke in a emotionless voice.

"Yes I did, Mein Fuhrer, but we couldn´t possible predict that the Koheiwans would get military support from Luxandia and Miercurea. Without the support of these two, our prediction would be correct or rather we could have stalled the Koheiwan army longer." General Nicea told the Fuhrer in a tight sounding voice as if fearing that he could be killed in any moment.

After General Nicea´s apology, the room where only the three of them were went silent. The Fuhrer put his hands on his head making his hair a mess.

"Ok, did you make preparations for this unseen predicament?" The Fuhrer asked.

"Yes, I and General Hoothy already made alterations to our previous plans so that we can stall the enemy till our last resort the Wunderwaffe is finished. The last time I checked with Mr. Stajic it should be completed in about two days worth of time. Till then we have to hold out no matter the cost." General Nicea answered the question.

Then General Hoothy began explaining the alterations to the battle plan to the Fuhrer, while explaining all the details General Hoothy and General Nicea noticed that the Fuhrer is absent minded and has probably not listened to their explanations.

"That is everything we can do to defend this place till the Wunderwaffe is finished. Are there any questions or improvements Mein Fuhrer?" General Hoothy asked.

... After his question the fuhrer did not react. One could clearly see the worried expressions of the two Generals whilst looking at the person in front of them. And so minutes past and no one wanted to break the silence fearing that if they do so, they would get killed instantly.

About 10 minutes, the fuhrer stood up looked at the two generals and spoke.

"Good job both of you, when this war is over you two will be honored as heroes who bravely fought the treacherous enemies in a war that seemed unwinnable, but despite the odds came out victoriously!" The Fuhrer nearly shouted in a penetrating voice.

"So General Hoothy and General Nicea both of you should probably go back to your posts so that the defense is perfectly executed."

"Yes Mein Fuhrer!" Both of them shouted full of excitement.

As soon as the two left the room, the man called the fuhrer, grabbed the telephone and dialed a number.

"You called Artjom?"

"How is the progress doing on the time travel machine Stajic?" Artjom asked.

"Pretty good, right now we should have enough energy to send one or two people back in time." Stajic told Artjom the information with excitement.

"That´s good Stajic I will come the lab and both of us should use it. We two are enough to reverse the fate of our nation." Artjom conveyed is intent and hung up on Stajic.

"Good griev, this man is so impatient." Stajic murmured to himself.

... Somewhere near the front line.

"Your Majesty we successfully annihilated every remaining block of resistance. The only thing left to do is to invade the bunker where Artjom Vlad III shut himself in." A Soldier reported to a lady clad in a royal looking uniform.

"You have done well. Take a rest, but before you do so tell Commander von Leuchtringen that he should proceed to capture the bunker and bring Vlad III to me alive." The Queen spoke to the solder in a soft tone.

--Inside the Laboratory

"So are you sure that this will work Stajic. If not both of us will be either dead or we will be brought to a military trial and be put in prison."

"Of course Iam sure about it. I would not have told you otherwise. The only thing left to do is to start the countdown get inside the machine and travel back in time. So that we can try again and this time succeed in bringing down the Koheiwans and leading our nation to everlasting peace."

"I also hope so."

After the two of them finished talking, Stajic went to a console and pressed buttons in a seemingly random order. Then the told Artjom that he is done and both of them went inside a machine that looked like metal brain connected to thousands of pipes.

Both of them sat on a chair and waited till the countdown set by Stajic reached zero.

And then everything went black for them and the machine disappeared from the room.
