But you have talked to me. I am the Leader of Lost Legion, and Dutchy is my 2nd in Command. What ever talks you had with him, I always hear, thus I would know about your allies and merc supporters are.
He also said he had talked to the leader of the Holy chadzian Empire when he had actually just talked to Acre. While the guy may be a brilliant strategist who taught the ignorant anti-HCE mercs how to fight, he's not very good at diplomacy.
PS: I'm not the Emperor of the HCE anymore, and won't be until chadz' forgives me my arrogance and sees fit to grant me an Empire once more (an Empire being an entity which consists of more than one faction). For, as Dirk told me,
"Seest thou how chadz with his lightning smites always the bigger animals, and will not suffer them to wax insolent, while those of a lesser bulk chafe him not? How likewise his bolts fall ever on the highest houses and the tallest trees? So plainly does He love to bring down everything that exalts itself. Thus ofttimes a mighty host is discomfited by a few men, when chadz in his jealousy sends fear or storm from heaven, and they perish in a way unworthy of them. For chadz allows no one to have high thoughts but Himself. Again, hurry always brings about disasters, from which huge sufferings are wont to arise; but in delay lie many advantages, not apparent (it may be) at first sight, but such as in course of time are seen of all. Such then is my counsel to thee, O Emperor."*
So I will remain a humble crusader fighting the good fight, putting all thoughts of grandeur behind me.
PPS. Bonus points for whoever figures out the quote.
