Bridge 2: "The King's Speech"

[DAS FOLGENDE IST EIN AUSZUG AUS EINER REDE DES KÖNIGLICHEN REICHES VON DEUTSCHLAND. GESPRECHEN VOM GROSSEN FÜHRER SELBST BEKANNT WIEBE RUGAL HOHENKÖNIG, JEDER AUSSERHALB DER AUGEN, DIE NICHT ZU SEINEM GEHEIMDIENST GEHÖREN UND DIESE WORTE ZEUGEN, WERDEN IM HÖCHSTEN UMFANG DES DEUTSCHEN GESETZES STRAFRECHTLICH VERFOLGT.]

[THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT OF A SPEECH FROM THE ROYAL EMPIRE OF GERMANY. SPOKEN BY THE GRAND LEADER HIMSELF KNOWN AS WIEBE RUGAL HOHENKÖNIG, ANY OUTSIDE EYES THAT DO NOT BELONG TO HIS SECRET SERVICE WHO WAY WITNESS TO THESE WORDS WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE HIGHEST EXTENT OF GERMAN LAW.]

"My fellows clad in steel and fuel. My sons and daughters who strive to uphold our country's beauty and purity. The war lingers, and now the rest of Europe views us as renegades. As insurgents towards a cause that we deem would put an end to our countless years of development as a nation and would force us to bend the knee to a united front that seeks only to homogenize and limit our potential."

"But why? Why do they respond to our initially peaceful request with gunfire and bombs? Why instead of listening fully to what we have to say, they use tanks instead of proper human reason?"

"They fear. The group that was founded years ago known as SEPHIROT fears that our ideas will overshadow what they have planned out for every country that they have assimilated under their grasp. SEPHIROT is but a vile tree that must be burnt at the roots before they burrow deeper into the corrupted heart of Europe."

"This empire has prospered on its own for several centuries, and it shall continue so without the intervention of a giant legion of nations that only care about a predetermined and unsatisfying destiny rather than freedom! And because of our unity, they have killed many of your brothers in arms! Your friends! Your lovers and your children!"

"This is proof! Proof that SEPHIROT tramples upon those who wish to survive on their own! And yet, they have forgotten the core ideologies of our mighty kingdom. For the hundreds they kill, a thousand more will be hardened by the fires of battle anew!"

"This SEPHIROT has polluted Europe and the rest of the planet. This contemptible enemy must be purged from our continent and beyond before their master plan becomes fully realized. The time for words has passed along with the many that they have slain. As we speak, we have poured more money into our military forces. The mighty Knights among you fight on the frontline accompanied by Dragons and Garrisons. Yet, money is only one corner of a successful operation."

"We need to turn our sorrow into an anger unfathomable by mere men! We will not hesitate! We will grant no quarter! We will drive the SEPHIROT scum off the face of the Earth, and prove that their actions have severe consequences!"

"Once all is done, we will promote a new solution. A better government much akin to our own kingdom. Where all of Europe can finally stand united without the aid of outside interference nor working within the shadows like the foul demons that they are."

"A Kingdom! A Kingdom for all mankind!"

"Victory shall be the greatest tribute! Death shall only fuel our resolve to this new utopia!"

"Raise your sword against the heretic! Cleave at the tree that breeds poison!"

"TO OUR KNIGHTS! TO THE SINNEL PROJECT! TO OUR GRACIOUS KINGDOM AND HER BOUNTIFUL LAND!"

"EHRE DER WAHRHEIT!"
