We were told Hubert would be leading the enemy forces, but the Death Knight's also with them.

We'll have to take care of both of them, but we won't have time to mop up all the enemy units.

We'll have to split up and take them on at the same time, or risk being overrun by their reinforcements.

Ready the artillery. Prepare to attack.

Has it really been so long since I was in that opera house? Couldn't have imagined any of this back then.

Attack: Claude - Hubert

Claude
volume_up

It's over, lapdog. Your military rule is at its end.
Hubert
volume_up

For every step you take along that path, our thorns will cut into your heels.
Claude
volume_up

Ooh, that sounds painful. I'll have to wear thicker soles for the march.
Hubert

If your boots are too heavy, you won't be able to lift your feet. But enough prattle.

It does not matter what I think. Those are my orders.
