Mes amis,
A large holographic image of Vaillant sitting on his command chair appeared. We could see the old Kingdom of Gallia emblem on the back of the chair as it was not facing the screen. Suddenly, the chair turned in a fast move towards the luminous screen showing up a determined Vaillant holding a glass of wine in his right hand.
We all remember the dark times of the end of the war against Bretonia. We acknoledged these would be the worst time ever for Gallia. Today it appears that we were wrong.
For centuries, our House had prepared herself for a full scale invasion of the traitorous Sirians peasants. Gallia had prepared herself for a war that was supposed to be far from her borders. The previous conflict which was our first one against the Sirian Houses was indeed far from Gallia, if we exclude the civil war with the Conseillards peasants.
But today, the war has reached our home. For the very first time of its existence, Gallia is invaded. Invaded by House that pretends to act for the sake of all the Sirian souls that paid the price of the Gallic Re-Conquest, for the sake to prevent our House to repeat what she has done. I'll get this straight, they want Gallia neutralized, eliminated, deprived of its own integrity and of its capacity to ensure its own existence.
They don't realize they are so mistaken, however. They have been beaten once, they shall be again. I thought they had tasted enough the CORE GALLIC VALUES some years ago and that they would have understand.
Don't be foolish, mes amis. The enemy we are fighting against is powerful, organized and determined to reach his meaningless and outrageous ambitions. They will try everything to succeed. But do not be impressed either. They may have reached our territory, we still have the favorable wind. This time we do not fight for a revenge, but for Gallia. For your House and me. This time, you will be one with the CORE GALLIC VALUES. Shall they lead us to the final victory.
We are planning, organizing, preparing this new conflict. Gallia is not on the verge of disappearing yet, but we've never been that close of it. More details will be given in the next few hours. Until then, hold the line!
Sincèrement
Vaillant greeted with a gesture of the head while the holographic image was disappearing.
