so I learned the other day that Napoleon supposedly once remarked about heavy losses to his troops that a few nights in paris would replace them

which is such a brutally cavalier way of establishing your troops as disposable assets

that I'm FURIOUS

that I didn't learn about it in time to have Emperor Merovech use it

hey if you didn't get to use it, /takes notes

can't wait to see this line in TRV since it's absolutely the sort of thing a trails villain would drop

Quinn this makes no sense

How would Emperor Merovech get her army to Paris

Fun fact. Darth Aurelia is also based on a historical figure but I keep forgetting to drop quotes because I get too distracted having her banter and snark at everyone.

i think the best part about this quote for a villain is also in the casual arrogance of it

absolutely certain that your reign will last long enough to see that replacement cannon fodder grow to maturity

slightly more subtle than the Abridged Frieza "Oh, boohoo, we have more of those on the ship."
