Napoleon: The Blood of Europe (1809)

"...The Austrians~
are not the same anymore."

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts lad with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: That all glory is fleeting."

Napoléon still at his height but beginning to hemorrhage life long brother- in- arms like Lannes and dealt his first major stinging defeat. He remained the master of Europe and his Marshals~ a new race of kings and dukes born from the guise of Liberté. But more blood of Europe must be spilled.
