1903hrs
A search began for Zirn out in the fields and in the city. A old man sent out to help clean up the dead and the wounded saw the Count lying up against the dismantled ram. He made no noise but was still alive he had an arrow into his left side and the bag of his neck. The old man ran to the Captain to tell of his discovery.

Men rushed to the site. He was still breathing and the surgeon was called the men were afraid to move him. The men from Zirn’s Unit arrived and very carefully they lifted him on the stretcher.

The Count was brought to his residence. The surgeon made no attempt to remove the arrow no matter how uncomfortable they looked. The Count was trying to speak and making mumbled request “Max”.

The only Max was his younger brother who was a fine young man but not of age to command. The Count’s armor and clothing were slowly removed. Drenched in blood he was washed the surgeon was amazed at the deep cuts inflicted he had more then just a couple arrows and wondered how he was to remain alive.

Max had finally arrived in the room and was shocked at the blood stained sheets and pans of water that appeared to be full of blood then water. He was shocked to seeing his brother lying there stripped and bleeding with 2 arrows protruding in him and his right hand clutching a cloth. A piece of cloth that was not a bandage. The surgeon shook his head at the young Zirn to say that nothing could be done. Max nodded and then asked that all leave the room.

Max motioned to the surgen has he was leaving and whispered. "Make no news of this yet. Report the victory to the Chancellor but nothing else till I advise."

Johann and Max were left alone.
