TNL 56 – Epilogue Book One
Sergeant Lenn is sitting in his office in the garrison of Aran, when an imperial messenger is announced.
“Let him come in. An imperial messenger usually brings important news.”
As soon as the messenger steps into the office, he announces:
“Sergeant, I have new orders from the empress. Because of the importance of these orders, I will give you a shortened version:
The New Legion mustn’t interfere with the defense of the southern front. The empress thinks it’s more important to let the New Legion gain more strength so that you can make a real difference later on.”
Lenn can’t help himself smirking. Which the Imperial messenger doesn’t think is funny.
“How dare you laugh at an imperial command! This is important, sergeant!”
Sergeant Lenn holds up his hand while trying to stop laughing.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. You have to know that your message is a bit late. Captain Raidon went to the southern front some time ago. This very morning I got a message that he and his troops have relieved the siege of the city of Linh and have repelled the enemy troops. Chakra has lost men in the hundreds. You must have missed our messenger on his way to Niroma.”

The messenger looks surprised. As far as he knows, there are only a handful of soldiers in the New Legion.
“How did he do that? The Chakranian army usually attacks with an enormous amounts of warriors, don’t they? This should be the case as they have managed to breach the line.”
“If I remember correctly it was about fifteen to one during the fight. Most of the warriors of Chakra were tied up with the fort there, with only about four thousand men that attacked the city. If I know Raidon, and I do, then he won’t stop till he has taken back the fort. All in all I think that you can go for a bite to eat before you go back to Niroma. The empress will want to send new orders I think.”
Having said that, Sergeant Lenn leans back in his chair to enjoy the astonished look on the royal messenger’s face.
To be continued in book two.

That’s it people. Book one of The New Legion is finished. As I’ve mentioned I will have a one week break, and after that we will continue with book 2.
Book two has the first 20 chapters ready for translation, so we’re not done yet! I’ll use my week off to start on those chapters, look for mistakes and the flow of the story. I’ll also start on the rest of book 2 to make it ready for translation.
Those of you who have signed up for my Patreon have already started on book 2 by now and I hope that I can improve my writing a bit more. As I stated in the past, book one was already published, but book two isn’t. Thus I’ll have more freedom to change things up. If you have suggestions or corrections, let me know!
