“We will also be joined by a force of Equestria’s finest soldiers, soldiers that to them are just as our exalted honourguards are to us, to aid in the transportation and defence of this evil. I expect you all to afford them the same deference you would afford to our own honourguards. In addition, this great evil has ravaged more lands than just Equestria, and as such, our airship shall be escorted by two of the newest and most advanced combat airships, developed and helmed by the hippogriffs of Mount Aris, to further secure this great evil against any that would attempt to free it.
