Chapter 697 "Civil War

Central-Western Province of Poland, Henzi.

In a marching column of hundreds, Herbert Schmidt hummed a newly learned tune:

"Poland forever, forever strong!

As long as I am alive,

No matter what the enemy takes from within,

I shall regain it with my sword!

Forward, Kosciuszko..."

It's the famous "Poland Is Not Yet Lost", which is also the future national anthem of Poland. However, its author Joseph Wibicki named it "Poland Forever Strong", and words like "perish" disappeared from the lyrics.

At this time in history, the Russian Army had already besieged Warsaw. But Poland's defensive lines are still on the eastern border.

Schmidt marched forward to the sound of the military drums, his fingers fumbling for a letter in his pocket.

It was from his brother last week, stating that he had set off with the legion to Poland and should meet him soon to join the glorious Holy War together.

Hmm, his elder brother Molt Schmidt was a Captain in the Austrian Royal Carpathian Legion.
