Ezio fights off the new wave of French on his way to the next lever.
Bartolomeo:Ezio, shut the gates!
Ezio manages to shut the second gate.
Bartolomeo: They're coming from the other side!
Bartolomeo: Defend the other entrance!
Ezio fights his way through yet another wave of French to get to the final lever.
Bartolomeo: The other entrance!
Ezio shuts the last gate and eliminates the remaining French soldiers inside the Barracks.
Mercenary: The Baron de Valois signals from the field!
Octavian de Valois sits on his horse at the bottom of the hill that the Barracks is built upon, surrounded by French troops and banners. Ezio, Bartolomeo, and the remaining Mercenaries stand behind one of the closed gates to speak with Octavian from afar.
File:Gatekeeper1.jpgOctavian mocks Bartolomeo.Octavian: Bonjour, général d'Alviano. Êtes-vous prêt à vous rendre? (Are you ready to surrender?)
Bartolomeo: Why don't you come closer and say that?
Octavian: You must learn how to speak French. It would mask your barbaric sensibilities.
Bartolomeo: Perhaps you could teach me, and I would instruct you in fighting, since you seem to do so little of it!
Octavian: As amusing as this parley has been, I'd like your unconditional surrender before sunrise.
Bartolomeo: Hah! My lady Bianca will whisper it in your ear.
Octavian: I believe 'another lady' might object to that.
A French soldier comes forward, holding Pantasilea Baglioni, Bartolomeo's wife, hostage.

Bartolomeo: I'll kill you, fottuto francese (you French fuck!)
Octavian: Calm down, for your wife's sake. You know my terms: Enter my camp unarmed at dawn.
Octavian and his men turn and leave.
Octavian: (Over his shoulder). And practice your French. Soon all of Italie will be speaking it.
Bartolomeo: I will get you pezzo di merda figlio di puttana (you piece of shit son of a bitch!)
Ezio and Bartolomeo each mount a horse and give chase to Octavian de Valois. Eventually, they see the French camp.

The two arrive at the front gates of the camp.
Bartolomeo: You steal a man's wife and then go hide inside a fortress? (gesturing toward his genitals) Nothing hangs between your thighs. In fact, there is a hole there so deep it reaches into the maledetto inferno (fucking underworld)!
Ezio: What good are you to her dead? We will regroup and fight through the gates as we did at the Arsenale.
Bartolomeo: The entrance is thicker with Frenchmen than the streets of Paris.
Ezio: So we will climb the battlements.
Bartolomeo: They cannot be scaled. (with a defeated tone) Pantasilea would know what to do. Maybe this is the end. I enter at dawn bearing gifts and hope that coward spares her life.
Ezio: Perché non ci ho pensato prima? (Why didn't I think of it before?)
Bartolomeo: What did I say?
Ezio: Call your men back to the barracks. I will explain there.
Bartolomeo: You better have something good. (To his men) Fall back!
Bartolomeo, Ezio, and the Mercenaries fall back to the Barracks.
Outcome
Ezio successfully defended the Barracks, without taking any damage. After he sees the Baron's fortress, Ezio came up with a plan to rescue Pantasilea.
