Sultan Mehmed II By the will of Allah, the walls crumble before us. Today, Constantinople shall be ours, and history shall remember this hour!

Janissary Commander The breach is secured, my Sultan. The infidels falter—one final push and the city falls.

Emperor Constantine XI Stand firm, men of Rome! Though the earth shakes and the heavens weep, we shall not yield this sacred ground!

Sultan Mehmed II Let the Janissaries advance—no quarter, no retreat. The city’s fate is sealed.

Janissary Commander At once, my Sultan. The gates will be ours before the sun sets.

Emperor Constantine XI If this is to be our end, then let it be written that we stood as men, not as cowards who fled before the storm.

Sultan Mehmed II The eagle of Byzantium falls today. Let the crescent rise in its place.
