Saxony suffered great setbacks due to the strong resistance of the Polans, there were so many victims that Prince Wilhelm hated Rusvet even more.

According to Gunther’s stories, Wilhelm attacked Rusvet with chlorine gas, and a little later killed Rusvet’s prisoners.

Some time later, Gunther was invited to a meeting with Kaiser Friedrich, who was warned by Olga. Gunther is asked for help, but refuses, as Friedrich had previously made him a scapegoat for Prince Wilhelm’s crimes. However, Gunther agrees to help out of friendship.
