We are merely protectors of Ursus. You may take you men with you. Live on as the protector of these Infected if that is your wish. Let us take what we must to realize our respective goals. I find that reasonable.
Talulah
You call yourself a protector... but who did you ever protect...?!
'Emperors' Blade'
All nations have men who call themselves protectors. There are many things that need to be protected, and also far too many men who call themselves protectors.
'Emperors' Blade'
Most of them are corrupt and incompetent, yet the rest of us excel precisely because of the things we protect.
'Emperors' Blade'
We are protecting Ursus's future.
Talulah
You think that will cover up everything you've done?!
Talulah
You've committed more crimes than anyone can ever count. You drove Simonch City into the lakes, and not a single person got out of that Elafia villageโ
Talulah
I can name all the atrocities you've committed one by one and let the whole world know all that you've done!!
Talulah
And you dare to brag to me about your country's will...? Your foolishness will one day be crushed by reality!
'Emperors' Blade'

'Emperors' Blade'
All societies will at some point have to bring out their lashes and whip their laziest and most simpleminded members. That being said, we are blades, not whips.
'Emperors' Blade'
If cutting off branches that do nothing but suck the tree dry of nutrients was a crime, then yes, that makes us evil.
'Emperors' Blade'
You said you will 'expose' our 'atrocities.' That merely tells me you are unable to confront us, not to mention how likely the way you see things will change.
'Emperors' Blade'
If I walk towards you, I suppose you will take a step back?
Shieldguard
Talulah...!
Talulah
Stay back! Protect the soldiers!
'Emperors' Blade'
Ursus's beneficence is of equal weight to its devilries. When you stand up against our evil deeds, you must also face all the good that we have done.
'Emperors' Blade'
All of it.
'Emperors' Blade'
A nation cannot be measured by good or evil. Nothing is worthy of discussion on this metric.
'Emperors' Blade'
...Perhaps it's not realistic to expect you to reach his heights and fully grasp his wisdom so soon.
'Emperors' Blade'
But if everything is as he said, then perhaps we will come for your advice when that day comes.
'Emperors' Blade'
Right now, aside the potential and the seeds hidden in you, you have nothing.
'Emperors' Blade'
The empire isn't something you can understand, Vouivre.
'Emperors' Blade'
Wait. Vouivre... No...
'Emperors' Blade'
You... It can't be...
'Emperors' Blade'
36... ใCode wordใ!

Two Royal Guards by their lonesome aren't enough to kill me. If you want to make an enemy of me, you'd better bring a third man with you next time.
Shieldguard
Captain!
Shieldguard
Shields forward! Push!
'Emperors' Blade'
No. Patriot. No.
Patriot
There are five Royal Guards here, counting the ones still trying to put up a fight with my daughter over on the other side.
Patriot
The Royal Guards I knew would never waver or pussyfoot around! Tell me! How confident are you in your strength?!
'Emperors' Blade'
We don't want to be your enemy!
'Emperors' Blade'
Wendigo... You are a legend known to a few of us in the Empire's army.
'Emperors' Blade'
Even if the common folk of the nomadic cities have long forgotten, all of us still remember the tales our forebears told us.
'Emperors' Blade'
You have my respect, Wendigo!
Patriot
......
Shieldguard
Ah...
'Emperors' Blade'
...So you follow her. Lying has become second nature to the soldiers of the tundras, it's hard to know what to believe.
'Emperors' Blade'
......
'Emperors' Blade'
So it's the truth, then. You are Infected.
Patriot
It shouldn't come as a surprise that I am fighting for the Infected.
'Emperors' Blade'
That's not right, Wendigo. This plan will fail.
Patriot
There are lots of Infected in the country.
'Emperors' Blade'
Fantasies do not come true just because more people believe in them.
Patriot
Before you write this off as a fantasy, how many of Ursus's defeats and victories have you personally participated in?
'Emperors' Blade'
You're right. My generation hasn't seen much action.
'Emperors' Blade'
Therefore... I am inviting you to join us. Ursus Captain Buldrokkas'tee, I ask you to come with us. Ursus needs you.
