In 1815, during the Hundred Days, Louis XVIII sent Marshal Ney to stop Napoleon after his escape from Elba. Ney famously promised to bring Napoleon back “in an iron cage.” Instead, when he met Napoleon near Grenoble, the troops sent to arrest him defected en masse, and Ney soon joined him. Napoleon’s personal charisma, shared revolutionary-era loyalty, and widespread discontent with the Bourbon Restoration made resistance collapse almost without a fight.

What i wanted to happen was for Napster to capture his wayward Marshal Bernadotte but alas the guy is always late. He probably comes only after the battle is already won.
