December 15th, 1939 – St. Petersburg, Ruthenia.
The biting cold of Ruthenian winter pressed hard against the city's crumbling streets. Johannes Krieg navigated the labyrinthine alleys with the precision of a veteran operative. A dimly lit underground tavern, concealed behind a false wall in an old bakery, served as the meeting point for his next rendezvous with Sergei Volkov and his revolutionary council.
Under his arm, Johannes carried a weathered briefcase. Inside were items that could change the course of Ruthenia's revolution—blueprints for improvised weapons, detailed maps of Tsarist supply depots, and coded instructions for receiving further assistance. Everything had been vetted and approved in Volkshalle, ensuring no detail would lead back to Valoria.
The Meeting.
