King Bruno of Italy stood by one of the German Empire's newest Generals. Willehelm Ritter von Krieger was a man who had been fighting in the German Army since the early days of Berengar's conquests.
Since his days fighting Brigands following Berengar's ascension as the Duke of Austria, the man had been in nearly every conflict Austria had taken part in, proving himself to be a valuable commander and a gallant soldier.
In fact, Berengar had even awarded him with the Imperial Order of the House von Kufstein, which was the highest honor in the Kingdom of Austria. It also made him a de facto noble, with the title of Knight, hence the Ritter von Krieger surname.
In the fields below these two men was a German Artillery Brigade, armed with the newest toys the Empire could provide them. By their side was an Artillery Brigade belonging to the Kingdom of Lombardy and was using the old 1417 12 lb Field Guns that had long since been phased out of the German Army's predecessor.
