Dialog

Gedik Ahmed Pasha The Venetian dogs cling to their stones like termites to wood. Shift the bombards to enfilade their western tower—collapse it and their line folds.

Ottoman Officer By your order, Pasha. The Janissaries await only the breach to swarm.

Venetian Captain Diavolo! More ladders on the north wall—spearmen to the battlements now!

Gedik Ahmed Pasha Mark their captain—see how he patches each hole in their defense like a weaver mending cloth. A shame his skill serves infidels.

Venetian Captain If they want this rock, they’ll pay for it in blood. Archers—loose at will!

Ottoman Officer The third parallel is dug—your signal to advance the sap, Pasha?

Gedik Ahmed Pasha Patience. Let the guns whisper first, then the Janissaries will shout.
