Bastards of the Empire 5

In Paris, Lilian, kept informed of the Emperor's military misfortunes, worries for the one he has never stopped loving. He is a man of decision: accompanied by a group of those he calls the Sacred Battalion, he takes his turn, in the middle of winter, on the road to Russia. The die is cast, the heroes go their separate ways. Will they cross paths? Will they find each other again? Or will fate take them away from each other once again? In the cold that bites and kills, they move forward, not knowing if they are going to meet their future or their death.
