Constantine XI Palaiologos Stand firm, my brethren! Though the walls crumble, our souls remain unbroken! For God and for Rome!

Janissary Officer Forward, Janissaries! The city is ours for the taking! Let not a single infidel stand before the might of the Sultan!

Constantine XI Palaiologos Thou shalt not pass this gate, heathen! By the blood of my ancestors, I swear it!

Janissary Officer Your defiance is noble, Emperor, but futile. The will of Allah cannot be denied!

Constantine XI Palaiologos Then let my death be the last act of Rome's defiance!

Janissary Officer So be it! For the Sultan and for Islam!
