The Germanic warrior stares at the Turk for a while, before speaking. "The previous Kaiser has abdicated due to health reasons and mein new prince has the word on this. He has found himself besieged by Hungary, Egypt and Turkey and the Sicilian navy had sailed North up to Genoa. Poor Sicilly should have considered guarding it's ports instead of attempting to ambush our merchants and the Imperial Armada!"

"As for returning North past the alps, Northern Italy is populated by loyal subjects of the Reich, and has been so for hundreds of years. And tell me, Turk, if we retreat who will then govern Italy? You present yourselves as liberators but yet here you are with swords and torches, ready to take Catholic land from Catholic hands. We shall not retreat North and abandon the good souls who live on this peninsula to be butchered and forced into abandoning the faith of Christ!"

The German knight raises his voice as he speaks and dangerous glares spark in his eyes.

"As for Hungary, I am told they are still considering their options. Perhaps they will see the error of their way and abandon their appetites for German land coated with Italian wealth"
