Dialog
Hugh O'Neill
A chlann, see how the tide brings our salvation! But keep your steel close - allies today may be foes tomorrow.
Juan del Águila
Desembarquen con orden! Formen las picas en cuadro antes de avanzar - esos cañones ingleses no esperarán cortesías.
Hugh O'Neill
Your men drill like clockwork, Don Juan. But these mudflats chew formations - let my kern guide your vanguard.
Juan del Águila
Sí... if your 'guides' can point without thieving our powder barrels. We fight as one host now - discipline or death.
Hugh O'Neill
Death comes swift enough from yonder palisades. Save your steel for Essex's butchers.
Juan del Águila
Then by the Virgin's grace, let us show these heretics how Catholic kings make war.
Hugh O'Neill
For Tír Eoghain and Rome! Sound the horns!
