General Adolph McKnight, the commander of the 1st Blood Wolves. The best of the best and has a famous pasted. Both Adolph and the Blood Wolves are linked with the feared army unit of the Dominion Army during 1875 -1915. The Black Widows was this unit. They were 400,000 men strong and tough as nails. The Black Widows were lead by a 25-year-old general named Viktor McKnight. Viktor is the great-grandfather of Adolph. The Black Widows divided in other units in the Dominion Army at the end of the year 1915; one being the Blood Wolves.

Adolph lives in the same house that Viktor planned the Black Widow Campaign in. This house is in Chernihiv, Ukraine. In the den, there were journals by Viktor in stacks. The dates range from 1870-1915.

Adolph picks up one and starts reading it…

Count JWolf has been going to States to check on our order for the last two years. So, I have taken the time to plan our attacks. I have men hiding in the Russians ranks. They will strike when the time is right.

The order I have placed with the American gun makers:

200,000 Colt single-action army revolver (Artillery Model)
200,000 Colt single-action army revolver (Cavalry Model)
250,000 US Army Model 1866 rifle
50,000 Winchester Model 1866 rifle
25,000 Gardner Machine gun, 2-barrel, .45in
75,000 Gatling, .45in, Model 1875

Horses have been sent from all of over the Dominion. Wagons are being built for the Black Widow. Those Russian dogs will not see this coming.

A young man named Aaron Dawson was placed in command of a small unit to patrol the Russian-Ukrainian border. Fifty men are under his commanded. Each man had a horse to take care off. This unit will act as a scout unit during the upcoming war. In a couple of years, I see Dawson as a true leader.

More good news, Count JWolf has sent word from the States. The guns have been finished and are being shipped to us. The gats will be the last couple of shipments. Plus, 5,000 Black Wolves will join my Black Widows in this upcoming war with the Russians.

These men, that Count JWolf has sent, are giants compared to my men. Ranging from six feet seven inches tall to seven feet tall. The leader of the 5,000 men, Jökull Bloodaxe, had a meeting with me last night in my den. He told me stories of how his people and Count JWolf meet back in 1010 AD. The story is that the Count made a deal with a group of Vikings in Finland. The Count kills the rival leaders of this group of Vikings and he would get to bring 50,000 Viking males and females on his travels. After killing all four of the rival leaders, the Count got what they owned him. From Finland, the Count and the Viking headed to what is now Romania. The Count had 5,000 of the strongest men to join the Black Wolves. After hearing his story, I know why his men use huge axes and swords to fight. Jökull told me as the time passed; his people learned how to use guns. I fell sorry for the Russian when it close combat.

The other half of the Black Widows in Chornobyl’ are getting ready for this war. I have placed Major Aleksei Kyznetsov, a former Commander of the Russian army, in command of the 200,000 Black Widows in Chornobyl’. He turned his back on the Russian Empire after the Russian army invaded his family’s town. His whole family was killed. I trust that the Major will do what I have ordered.

Like us, they have a small unit of fifty men to watch the border. They are lead by a German named Jaegar Becker. Aleksei placed him to do the job and said he will do it right.

Both units will move across the Russian-Ukrainian border after we get the last of the shipment of guns from the States. Maybe the Count will join us in this war.
