The last days of Spain

[History Guy]

I agree no wave can break us if the gods are behind us. But if the gods were also behind Lux Invicta, as they claimed, and since the gods are not concerned with earthly things as well as our eternal spirits, then they may not save our country if the enemy destroys us.

Unless we can be able to manage effectively a war against those two giants, as they soon will be once they drain the blood of the Lux Invictan corpse, than we shall collapse. Pre-emptive war to destroy an enemy capital, and civilization, may seem harsh, but it may be better than the alternative of being totally overrun by the enemy of the north, for though they are barbaric, they are better soldiers, and they have the better chance of creating a giant efficient army than we do. Unless we can do the same effectively, we will fall.

To say so is not cowardly. It is realistic.

I am not speaking of the gods as our strength. I am speaking of the will of the people. If we have the determination to stand firm then we will.
As long as we have some soldiers of fair strength then we shall not be overcome!

I agree with señor Calamari. Everyone knows that I trust the Neu Demons in the north less than anyone else, but we must not be fools. Right now, they can crush us, so we cannot make them angry. We must try to present ourselves as their friends as long as we can and build our military meanwhile. That's why I fully support our new despor Augusto Togas and it's policy.

Let's hope we'll be prepared by the time they attack.

[History Guy]

Exactly, Senor Oliver.

Senor Nunez, that is quite so. However, a giant force is what is needed. With a giant, mobile army, and with the advantage of surprise attack, we may well be able to win this bloody war which seems now so painfully inevitable. Faced between the choice of dying glorious in battle and being slain in my own home because I would not raise a hand to act to save my people, I would gladly choose the latter.

Coward!
