:20:03
Barbarians from every corner
are almost at Rome's door.
:20:08
Because of this, Rome and the Holy Father
have decided to remove ourselves
:20:14
from indefensible outposts,
such as Britain.
:20:19
What will become of Britain
is not our concern anymore.
:20:22
I suppose the Saxons will claim it soon.
:20:25
- Saxons?
- Yes.
:20:27
In the north a massive
Saxon incursion has begun.
:20:31
- The Saxons only claim what they kill.
- And only kill everything.
:20:36
So you would just
leave the land to the Woads.
:20:40
And I risked my life for nothing.
:20:42
Hm.
:20:43
Gentlemen,
:20:45
your discharge papers with safe conduct
throughout the Roman Empire.
:20:50
But first, I must have a word
with your commander.
:20:58
- In private.
- We have no secrets.
:21:03
(slams table)
:21:07
Come. Let's leave Roman business
to Romans.
:21:15
Let it go, Bors.
:21:25
Rome has issued a final order
for you and your men.
:21:30
Final order?
:21:31
You are to travel north
to rescue the family of Marius Honorius
:21:36
and return, in particular,
with Marius's son, Alecto.
:21:42
Alecto is the Pope's
favorite godchild and pupil.
:21:48
It is his destiny to become a bishop,
perhaps even pope one day.
:21:53
On this day you ask this of my men.
:21:57
On this day.
