Sultan Mehmed II The walls crumble before us like the dreams of old Rome. Let the Janissaries be the hammer that breaks the last resistance.

Janissary Commander As you command, my Sultan. The elite will not falter.

Emperor Constantine XI Stand fast, men of Byzantium! For God and for Rome, we shall meet our fate with honor this day!
