Sword of War Page #3

Go back to your consuls and tell them.

he emperor is coming

and that this is not going

0 be a courtesy visit.

Listen. Listen to me.

There are many noblemen in Milan

ho are favorable to the emperor.

There is nothing more

ou can do, Barozzi.

This stays here.

It's true.

I am scared.

I'm scared.

Because I have seen with my own eyes

he power of the German army.

Their tents covered the entire plane...

and they have so many war machines

that our whole square

could not contain them.

For the love of reason I implore you...

let us surrender.

Surrender!

No surrender. We will fight!

Huh!

Soon Barbarossa's army

ill be at the gates.

You can count the days

0 the destruction of Milan

on the fingers of one hand.

Every time we come here,

they build that bridge for us

hat is stronger than before.

People of Verona respect tradition,

our Majesty.

They know that by ancient custom

when a German king crosses their land

it is their duty to build

boat bridge north of the city.

And that's why we respect them.

Your Majesty!

What's going on?

Watch out! Watch out for the woods!

Stop! Stop!

What that?

What's happening?

The logs...Watch out for the logs...

watch out...

The rope! Tie the rope!

Tie the rope! Tie the ropes!

Help! Help me! The horses,

It's a trap. It's a trap. Go back.

No, your Majesty! Don't do it!

Remember the prophecy...

water brings death!

What are you doing standing there?

help your emperor.

God will damn you!

Go! Go!

Tie the rop.

He's gone under.

Dive down.

Look for the emperor.

No...

Find him!

Dive...

God no!

Give me your hand, Emperor.

What you have done

is very serious indeed.

You have allied yourself

with Milan against the Empire.

You have caused the death

of many German soldiers.

You have not respected

he ancient tradition

that has saved Verona

rom destruction until today.

Why? Why?

Today is an important day.

I want you to remember one thing.

You only betray your emperor once.

I am as cruel

as God is full of mercy.

Alberto! Albedo!

Barbarossa has destroyed

he city of Brescia.

They say there are

over one thousand dead.

How do you know?

Have you had another

ne of your visions?

What do you think we are doing?

Surrender to the Germans?

What difference would it make, right?

Slaves we were

nd slaves we'll still be.

We don't want to be slaves any more.

Is it worth fighting a battle

hat is already lost to begin with?

That's enough, woman!

We all have to do our duty,

ours is to fight to defend the city.

Yours is to stay home and

wait for your man to return!

If you have one.

Don't you ever talk to her

ike that again!

- That's enough Alberto. -Ever!

Alberto!

That's enough.
