Title: Chapter 22
Heintz and Rolf

Page 126-127:
Narration: November 15th Year 1315 AD. One of the Three Alpine Forest Cantons, Schwyz.
In the narrow land between Mt. Morgarten and Lake Aegeri
The allied warriors of the Three Forest Cantons
and the army led by Austrian Duke Leopold clashed.

Page 128:
Narration: In this battle, 1,500 members of the eternal alliance
were up against 2,000 mounted soldiers and 7,000 foot soldiers,
the Hapsburg Army totaling of 9,000
and achieved a definitive victory.

Page 129:
Narration: While the members of the eternal alliance haw lower numbers,
how is it they were able to destroy the overwhelming numbers of the duke's army?
Turning back time,
From the phase of preparing for the battle,
let us follow the events as they play out.

Page 130:
Narration: 7 days before the battle.
A mountain village nearby St. Gotthard Pass,
Andermatt.

Page 131:
Johann: Hey,
how 'bout a walk?
Bertha: Okay.
Johann: It sure is cold
once you get away from the fire.
Oh, I know.
How about we talk in there?
Narration: The Uri People's Council Chief
Herman,
nicknamed "The Boss of Uri".

Page 132:
Herman: I did not call for a rest
in order for a party to be held.
We have to depart bright and early tomorrow to prepare for the Young Duke's attack.
I would prefer everyone rested seriously.
SFX: DON
Rolf: Bo~~~~ss, let's not be such a stick in the mud~~~~
Narration: Unterwalden representative,
Rolf.
Herman: You!
A leader of men like you is intoxicated?!
Rolf: Hm?
Mmmmmm~~~
It's the beeest!

Page 133:
Guy: All of the fighters are utterly exhausted.
If they were to enter the next battle without a break,
their morale would be far surpassed by the enemy's.
Narration: Schwyz Representative
Heintz.
Heintz: Now is the time
to cultivate our spirits.
Herman: Indeed.
I suppose that is a valid reason.
Heintz: HIC

Page 134:
Herman: And after all that solemn prattle!
Are you just using this as an excuse to drink?
Heintz: Well,
uh...
A lotta people died.
A lot were crippled, too.
And more than anyone else,
everyone suffered wounds to their hearts.
Do you think we can just power through this
without any drinking?
SFX: UUUU
Rolf: WAAAAAAAA
SFX: BIKUH (Surprise)
SFX: AAAA

Page 135:
Herman: I suppose as these people have already achieved results,
we won't get anywhere by preaching to them.
Do as you like.
You bunch of drunkards.
Heintz: Well said, Boss of Uri.
Rolf: Then let's driiink!
Herman: Gosh darnit!
Rolf: C'mon, drink with us!
I wanna see you get wasted!
Herman: Oh, god.
Please keep the enemy at bay for some time.

[Good going Johann]

Page 137:
Herman: Good morning.
I do hope none of you have caught a cold.
Now then,
the victorious mood ends here.
I would like to set about on the next job as soon as possible.

Page 138:
Herman: The fact that the Young Duke's reinforcements did not arrive in time
was truly a blessing.
Thanks to that, we have finally
been able to recapture St. Gotthart Pass.
We have deliveries coming in constantly
through the barrier from the Italian side.
A large load of weapons
bought and assembled from Italy.
Rolf: A large load?
How large exactly?
Guy: Don't be shocked.
It's enough for all of the warriors of the three cantons.
Heintz: That's just how much money we had in savings
before it was captured by the enemy.

Page 139:
Herman: Now we can finally move on to the next stage.
The battle we three cantons will fight pursuing our ultimate goal.
The goal declared the first day the three alpine forest cantons eternal alliance was formed.
And that is to remove the Habsburgs' control.
In other words,
independence.
Guys: ......
Independence.
Independence.
Independence!

Page 140:
Herman: Each of the three cantons
has a magistrate's residence with a magistrate stationed by the Habsburgs.
Signs: Three Forest Cantons
Schwyz [right side]
Uri [Bottom]
Unterwalden [left side]
Herman: Similarly, serving as the backing for the Habsburgs, a monestary
is running a manor.
It is there where the Habsburg's garrison is stationed,
on guard while the Young Duke is absent.
We will attack and destroy these,
SFX: GUGU
Herman: and take back control of the three cantons.
SFX: DON
Herman: As Young Duke Leopold is currently in the field, now is the perfect opportunity.
If we are to accomplish this,
we will have a definitive advantage over him when he does arrive soon.

Page 141:
Herman: As has been the plan now for some time,
there will be revolts in all three cantons at once.
Command will be entrusted
to the respective representatives of each canton.
We represent Uri.
Rolf: Well,
I'm for Unterwalden.
Heintz: And I'm for Schwyz.
Herman: Okay, let us not delay any longer.
Wake everyone and depart.
SFX: KOH

Page 142:
Rolf: And?
How is Walter doing?
Heintz: Is he unwell?
Herman: The wounds he suffered from Wolfram are bad.
He should be fine if they're treated properly,
but he absolutely cannot be allowed to participate in the upcoming battles.

Page 143:
Heintz: Have his trials not ended?
Rolf: Geez.
Both father and son......
Herman: I do not wish to place differing values to lives,
but Walter is someone that should become our leader later on.
Walter will remain in this village
and we will have him recuperate until his injuries heal.
Guys: C'mon, slap everybody awake!
We wish you good luck!
Yes! All of you as well!

Walter: ......

Woman: Walter!
What's wrong?!
Ah, your wounds?!
They opened, didn't they?!
Walter's wounds!
Please, mom, help me out here!
Walter: ......
Where is everyone?
Woman: They departed.
This morning.
The Uri leader
said you are to rest for the sake of the three canton's future.
Walter: So you're saying they
left me behind?

Page 148:
Walter: UGH
GUU......
Woman: Walter,
your bandages.
Walter: .....
I'm sorry.....
SFX: HAA... HAA...
Woman: You're an important person, after all.
We must get you better.
Now,
please, rest.
SFX: HAA... HAA...
Walter: UGU...........
SFX: GIRI...
