Tyranny of Steel

Weeks had passed since Berengar first marched across the Aztec Landscape and during this time he had raided every village he came across on his journey to the Capital of the Aztec Empire. Disease spread like wildfire. Not only were natives unable to cope with the sickness that accompanied the German soldiers. Yet, the Marines did not even bother to bury the massive piles of corpses they left behind in each village they encountered.

By now, this plague had made its way to Tenochtitlan just in time for the German Army to arrive at its entrance. Countless Aztecs had now come in contact with the disease leaving them vulnerable to the German Conquest, at this point Berengar simply needed to walk through the streets of the capital with their princess in tow and declare himself victorious which is exactly what he planned to do.

The Banners of the German Army flew proudly in the air as roughly five hundred golden haired men strolled through the streets of the city of Tenochtitlan, its citizens not daring to get too close to the invaders. These soldiers sang one of their best marching songs, Erika, as they proudly displayed their might to the native people. Tlexictli held her head as low as possible as her people witnessed her bound and dragged by a one-eyed man who rode on the back of a beast they did not recognize.

To the Aztec people, the sight of the golden-haired men entering their sacred city was as if the feathered serpent had returned from the east. Normally this would be a joyous occasion, however, instead of years of prosperity, the servants of the god brought with them thunder, death, and pestilence. The Aztec people did not know what they had done to anger the feathered serpent, but they did not dare resist their punishment.

Eventually, Berengar ’s army strode up to the royal Palace, where the Aztec Emperor rushed out from his home and kneeled before his conquerors, who held his daughter as their prisoner. He wept tears of joy upon realizing that the girl was still alive. Surprisingly, the one eyed man spoke his language as he made his demands.
