"All who surrender will be spared; whoever does not surrender but opposed with struggle and dissension, shall be annihilated."
-GENGHIS KHAN, during the war with the Khwarezmian empire. Usually, Genghis kept his word, and those who did surrender were indeed spared. It is this policy that separates Genghis from other leaders who did pointlessly kill people. Genghis killed for conquests, not for the joy of it like Tamerlane and Hitler.
"The pleasure and joy of man lies in treading down the rebel and conquering the enemy, in tearing him up by the root, in taking from him all that he has."
-GENGHIS KHAN
Simply; Epic!
"Honor is nothing without victory"
-SUBEDEI (The great Mongol General, led the invasion of Russia, Europe, and commanded in Persia and China)
The greatest epilogue I've ever seen! )))
"Despite all expectations, the time of my last campaign and of my passing is near. I wish to die at home. Let not my end disarm you, and on no account weep for me, lest the enemy be warned of my death."
-GENGHIS KHAN, last words to his military commanders.
The Mongol conquest would be dreaded throughout the galaxy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwJjh1oUSQ
"By the strength of Eternal heaven, Order of the Universal Ruler of the Empire of the Great Mongols."
-The SEAL OF GUYUK KHAN (3rd Great Khan of the Mongols).
