Do be sure not to let your guard down. Things are never quite as cut and dry as they seem.

Not bad. But I'm not done yet.

So...we've won.

Hm, not bad. Not bad at all. This might actually be fun!

We shall repel the Imperial army here and put a halt to their invasion. But be wary—they possess no small supply of skilled warriors.
link Sylvain volume_up
From the looks of it, they've gone and camped out in the ruins of that village.
link Dedue volume_up
It seems their main force is laying low in that abandoned village.
link Dimitri volume_up
Keep your guard high—those mercenaries could be waiting behind any corner. For now, though, let us deal with the foes we can see.
link Ingrid volume_up
The road to the village is blocked off. We'll need to find another way.
link Dedue volume_up
Good. How many remain?
Citizen volume_up
We've spotted the Ashen Demon among the enemy's ranks, Your Majesty! As well as... the Death Knight.
link Dimitri volume_up
The Empire's most fearsome general... We should try to keep them both isolated if we can.
Tomas volume_up
Enemies! Ohh, they're coming to get us! Everyone fend for yourselves!
link Felix volume_up
Nice of them to open the doors for us. Now let's take control!
link Ashe volume_up
That's two down. We're doing it!
link Annette volume_up
The Ashen Demon and the Death Knight can't be as scary as they sound, right? Right?
link Dimitri volume_up
This stronghold will likely prove the key to our victory on this day. We must keep it at all costs.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
This fight might just be exciting after all.
Byleth volume_up
I'm coming too. We can't let them keep pushing us around.
Byleth volume_up
I'm coming too. We can't let them keep pushing us around.
link Dimitri volume_up
So they've come. Keep your distance for now. We must focus our efforts on the remaining Imperial encampments.
Byleth volume_up
A rematch, then. Good.
Byleth volume_up

You dare stand against me? At least try to make it interesting, then.

Tomas volume_up
Gah! A little long-ranged help, please?
link Mercedes volume_up
That's one catapult dealt with. Let's move on to the other!
link Dimitri volume_up
Now that I think of it, these catapults may be of use to us.
link Dedue volume_up
The Ashen Demon and the Death Knight are the only major threats remaining.
Bernadetta volume_up
Why won't you just let me go?!
Tomas volume_up
Urgh, they got our catapults...which means they're coming for us next! Run away!
link Ingrid volume_up
She's their leader. As much as it hurts to say it, we cannot let her leave here alive.
link Felix volume_up
Their leader is trying to escape? Pathetic. We'll make her regret flinging those gates open.
link Rodrigue volume_up
That soldier looks rather...panicked. She may be convinced to join us with a bit of pressure.
Tomas volume_up
Ugh, I wish I was surrounded by walls, not enemies! Why did it have to come to this?
link Sylvain volume_up
I...don't feel too good about this. But that's just how it goes in war.
Tomas volume_up
Bernie's gonna... Just, give me a second to write my dying words.
link Ingrid volume_up
You can have all the time you want if you surrender.
link Ingrid volume_up
We don't want to have to kill you, Bernadetta. Please.
link Dedue volume_up
I doubt you want to die like this.
Tomas volume_up
Wait, what? No! I'm not ready to die! Please don't murder me!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I make for the central stronghold. My prey awaits.
Byleth volume_up
Fine. I'll handle the strongholds on the perimeter, then.
Byleth volume_up
Fine. I'll handle the strongholds on the perimeter, then.
link Dimitri volume_up
All units, clear out of the central stronghold! We aim to ensnare the Death Knight!
link Dimitri volume_up
Clear out! The Death Knight has almost arrived!
link Felix volume_up
What do you think you're doing? Get out of there! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!
link Dimitri volume_up
Now, close the gates! Sever his escape route!
link Dimitri volume_up
Ready? Fire!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Such cowardice!
link Dimitri volume_up
Ready? Fire!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up

Not even the Ashen Demon can win against superior numbers. Call in reinforcements from the northwestern stronghold!
Byleth volume_up
This won't be easy.

Viscount Hymir volume_up
And here I thought the kid could handle it alone. Looks like I was wrong.
link Dimitri volume_up
Enemy reinforcements. We can't let them seize the central stronghold!
Viscount Hymir volume_up
So this is what the Kingdom can do. You've really risen to the occasion!
Viscount Hymir volume_up
Urgh... This is all I've got, huh?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I won't lose this time, I swear it!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ngh! This is proving a touch trickier than I'd imagined!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Forgive me, Captain... I must retreat.
link Dedue volume_up
We've outlasted them.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Fine then. Entertain me!
link Dimitri volume_up
He's broken free! The catapults appear to be working, though. Come, this is our chance!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Death... Blood... I crave more!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Good... Good! Let me taste the kiss of death!
link Mercedes volume_up
That voice is so familiar. Could it be... No, that's not possible.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ahh, yes! This ecstasy only comes on the brink of death itself!
link Dimitri volume_up
I'm all too familiar with the feeling.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ahh, yes! This ecstasy only comes on the brink of death itself!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
My end comes not today. I shall make my retreat.
link Felix volume_up
So he finally gave in. That bladework of his was awfully familiar, though.
??? volume_up
We can't hold out any longer! Please, send help!
Byleth volume_up
Ngh. They need backup.

The Ashen Demon has taken on countless soldiers. Even one of their exceptional skill must be growing weary by now.

How many times have we fought now? Either way, this will be the last.

No... I can still fight.

Our attacks are proving effective. Just one more push and we'll have them!

No... I can still fight.

Tomas volume_up
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Go ask the mercenaries for help!
link Dedue volume_up
They seek reinforcements. Best to put a stop to that now.
link Felix volume_up
No more backup. That should buy us at least a little time.
link Annette volume_up
Shoot, they've got backup!
link Annette volume_up
Shoot, they've got backup!
Merchant volume_up
We must support our champion! Advance to his position at once!
link Ashe volume_up
Imperial soldiers! Are they trying to heal the Death Knight?
link Rodrigue volume_up
We can't let those Imperial rats heal the Death Knight! We must put a halt to their plan, with all haste!
link Felix volume_up
Stopped them no problem. That's one less thing for us to worry about.
Merchant volume_up
We will tend to your wounds, my lord!
link Dimitri volume_up
We failed to stop them... Very well, then. We'll just have to drag him down once more!
Viscount Hymir volume_up
No such thing as being too careful. I should send some help the kid's way.
link Sylvain volume_up
We can't afford to rest on our laurels here. Let's deal with these guys quick!
link Felix volume_up
Just what we need. Make short work of them!
link Annette volume_up
These mercenaries were tough enough without the backup...
Viscount Hymir volume_up
They beat us good. Come back safe, kid.
link Dedue volume_up
The Death Knight will escape if that garrison falls.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hmph. Such a paltry pack of whelps could never hope to hold me!
link Dimitri volume_up
There is no stopping him now. Surrender is the only road left for us to walk.
link Dimitri volume_up
Our reinforcements are in danger of being overrun. We must repel the enemy at once!
link Dimitri volume_up
We lack the might necessary to defeat this enemy... In other words, we have failed.
link Dimitri volume_up
We have lost the catapults. No strategy can possibly bring us victory this day.
link Dimitri volume_up
We have lost the catapults. No strategy can possibly bring us victory this day.
link Dimitri volume_up
We have armored units at our disposal as well. They can bolster any stronghold in need of the assistance.
link Rodrigue volume_up
This should buy our defenses a bit more time.
link Dimitri volume_up
Excellent. None remain who can pose a threat to our strongholds.
link Annette volume_up
We've got some mages here to help! They're ready to attack the village ruins whenever you say the word!
link Dedue volume_up
Mages have arrived. They are ready to strike the village ruins whenever we are.
link Annette volume_up
That went great!
link Dimitri volume_up
Excellent. None remain who can pose a threat to our strongholds.
