章 1212: The Fall of Machu Picchu

Cualcoatl stood outside the gates of Machu Picchu with his vast army of Aztec Warriors. The mighty Inca citadel was a proud symbol of what was perhaps the last bastion of sovereign native rule within the Americas. 

Over the last thirty years, the German army had swept through the new world, and conquered nearly the entire landmass, while incorporating all of it into their own empire. What few tribes that remained living after such a bloody and brutal conquest were pushed into the Aztec Empire, where they assimilated to the local culture and society. 

Only the Inca remained free from the boot of German tyranny. And though the Luftwaffe flew regularly above the borders of the Inca Empire, the German army did not trespass upon their lands. The reason for this sudden halt of military action east of the Andes was known only to Berengar.
