12 -11- "All Agent, Terzky?" "All offices!" "But not," shouts the Friedlander, "with whom the kingdom entrusts me... Write! Command to gather the troops to Eger, call all the authorities who confessed to me the second lie in Pilsen... M one army. is! I c h created it, i c h led ...."he suddenly interrupts and sinks back into the chair, grasps himself tormented for the heart. "Isn't the heart young anymore," he laughs tiredly."Also to the heart one must be able to command....Hinaus,Terzky,gathers,calls,says to Marshal Illo,the Kinsky...Tomorrow early,Tertsky,we fight for the kingdom...And now let me think!" Terzky's messengers ride out.To one the riders catch Piccolomini, the other one holds a scout Butlers in front of the city...And Wallenstein waits and Terzsky waits,Illo waits for Kinsky.... All wait in vain.. The day goes to the equipment. From the windows of the Egerer Kaiserpfalz it blazes already bright and Butler's cooks have to do in the kitchen and cellar.The Obristwachtmeister Leslie stands in front of the Friedländer.But times he arranges Butlers invitation. Wallenstein lifts his head. "No, Obrist guard.It seems to me no time to celebrate...It is a time of action!" When Leslie has gone, thoughts of the Friedlander work without ceasing.As the rivers rush to the north, his troops shall march.The oden of his guns shall blow away all the little lords and princes, who in eternal strife for land and taxes tear the kingdom apart.He shall smash the fence and create a pure sky over all the German land after this last thunderstorm, a sky from the Rhine to Pomerania, from the North Sea to the Alps
