Legacy of Sacrifice and Freedom
Lancelot
For two hundred years knights have fought and died for a land not our own. But on that day at Badon Hill, all who fought put our lives in service of a greater cause: Freedom. And as for the knights who gave their lives, their deaths were cause for neither mourning nor sadness. For they live forever, their names and deeds handed down from father to son, mother to daughter, in the legends of King Arthur and his knights.

The Consequences of Historical Alliances
Lancelot
By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. But they wanted more. More land. More peoples loyal and subservient to Rome. But no people so important as the powerful Sarmatians to the east. Thousands died on that field. And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive were members of the decimated but legendary cavalry. The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, spared their lives. In exchange, these warriors were incorporated into the Roman military. Better they had died that day.

Lancelot

...but also their sons, and their sons, and so on, to serve the empire as knights. I was such a son.

A Call for Further Courage and Sacrifice

Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been tested beyond all limits.
Bors
Yes.
Arthur
But I must ask you now for one further trial.
Bors
Drink.
Arthur
We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.
Bors
Let the Romans take care of their own.
Gawain
Above the wall is Woad territory.
Galahad
Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.
Bors
Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?
Arthur
Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.
Bors
I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!
Tristan
Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.
Galahad
Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!
Lancelot
Enough. Enough!
Dagonet
The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare. Bors, are you coming?
Bors
OF COURSE I'M COMING! I CAN'T LET YOU GO ON YOUR OWN, YOU'LL ALL GET KILLED! I'M JUST SAYING WHAT YOU'RE ALL THINKING!

The Value of Freedom and Sacrifice
Lancelot
Arthur. This is not Rome's fight. It is not your fight. All these long years we've been together, the trials we've faced, the blood we've shed... What was it all for, if not for the reward of freedom? And now when we are so close! When it is finally within our grasp - look at me! Does it all count for nothing?
