Cavalry Betrayal/Quotes

Do I have tentacles coming out of me?! ...I just wanna go home! Why is everyone trying to kill me?! I'm awesome! Are you all jealous?! ...This is the worst rescue operation in history!

"On what pretext?"
"On the pretext that they had rebelled against their viceroy, the Emperor's anointed. And the admiral became the new viceroy, by virtue of one month of massacre, pillage and complete horror."
