What is victory? Is it to defeat your enemy
on the field of battle? Is it to simply repulse
his armies and slay his misguided warriors?
No, this only the very beginning!
True victory is to crush your foes utterly, to
shatter his armoured legions and run down his
fleeing troops as they scatter. Pursue them to
their lairs and burn them out. Burst into his
unholy temples, smash down his icons and
topple his foul idols. Burn his heretical works
and leave no stone upon stone. Slaughter his
followers, their families and their livestock lest
any of their taint remain. And when that is
done, put the ruins to the torch.
Any that have dealt with them or given them
succor must be obliterated, for memory is
insidious and though you have crushed their
will and their bodies they may yet return.
Send warrior scribes to excise the records of
their name, expunge their deeds from the
annals of history and remove even the memory
of your foes existence. Only then have you
truly won.
This is the meaning of victory.
