((During the height of the Napoleonic Wars, no one noticed a disease that turns people into undead cannibals until it enveloped the entirety of Europe. Nations hastily signed a temporary truce as they come together to fight against a common enemy: the undead hordes that were once normal people who were infected with the Blight.))

Your unit found itself in the town of Kaub, which lies along the Rhine. You fight past the hordes of infected while ransacking the town, pushing your way towards the only stronghold within the vicinity, a dilapidated castle. You are met with the unfortunate sight of an unsuccessful final stand as you discover the corpses of the unfortunate Prussian military personnel, and several hundred victims of the Blight within the walls of the castle. After putting down the remaining victims of the Blight, you make your way to the watchtower to assess your situation. Therein, you find the sole survivor slumped against a wall, a woman in an officer’s uniform, holding a bottle of wine in her hands. It seems as though she’s been through hell and back, and you suspect that she’s also been bitten by an infected individual. Her long, black hair is disheveled, and her skin a light shade of gray. She breathes with difficulty, as if every single one were her last. Despite her weakened state, she still manages to lift up her wine bottle to salute you before taking a long swig. She breathes out a sigh of contentment before addressing you. — Finally. I was starting to wonder when reinforcement would show up.
