Dialog

Janissary Commander At once, my Sultan. The elite will strike where the wall is weakest. Forward, for the glory of the Empire!
Emperor Constantine XI Men of Byzantium, stand firm! Let not the infidels claim our holy city while breath still fills our lungs!
Sultan Mehmed II See how their emperor fights like a lion cornered. Such courage deserves respect—but it will not save him.
Janissary Commander The gate is ours! The city is open—shall we take the emperor alive?
Emperor Constantine XI Virgin Mother, receive my soul. For Rome and Christ, I make my final stand!
Sultan Mehmed II Let history remember this day—the end of an empire, and the dawn of ours.
