I thank you for fighting for Macedonian legitimacy, but these people who stand before you are all subjects of the Macedonian Empire, and many of them are Macedonians, who used to follow my father in the war between the north and the south, but now they are blinded by power, and they take up arms against their king, and want to overthrow the rule of the royal family of Ajid. In order to satisfy their selfish desires, they did not hesitate to unite to divide the empire, these lands were won by our ancestors with flesh and blood, can you bear these unscrupulous traitors who have ruined the achievements of our ancestors, betrayed their masters, and tarnished the dignity of the royal family of Ajid? ”

"Can't! No! No! ”

"That's right, if we can't defeat them, then we can only be defeated by them, we must divide the victory and defeat, if we don't want to be defeated in shame, if we don't want to be slaughtered like livestock by the enemy, then we must muster up courage, have the spirit of desperate, not only for me, but also for yourself, go forward and fight to your heart's content!"
