Arianrhod trembles under the Imperial army's vicious siege. Aware that the fortress city cannot be allowed to fall, you make haste to reinforce the Kingdom troops garrisoned there.

Debug mode is off
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Please hurry, Your Majesty! The enemy used a secret passage to infiltrate the fortress, and have already engaged Catherine and her unit!
link Dimitri volume_up
Then let us help them at once. We cannot afford failure here. Arianrhod is too valuable.
link Felix volume_up
So they really did find a back way in. Seems like the main gate's still closed. Thankfully, the controls aren't too far off.
link Rodrigue volume_up
They've stationed units around the controls for the gate. We'll need to fight our way past them if we're to have any hope of opening it.

Viscount Fenja volume_up
They spotted me. Guess I've lost a step.
link Dimitri volume_up
That's...Shamir! We must assist her.

link Dimitri volume_up
That's...Shamir! We must assist her.
Viscount Fenja volume_up
This is where I die, huh? Not the most comfortable place for an eternal sleep.
link Seteth volume_up
Shamir is in dire trouble. We must help her at once!
link Felix volume_up
I don't think she can hold out much longer. Let's move!
link Mercedes volume_up
Phew! That should clear our way into the fortress.
link Dedue volume_up
There. We can head inside now.
Shamir volume_up
Sorry, Catherine... Guess you have to go it alone from here...
link Dimitri volume_up
We were but a moment too late... Let us press onward. Her death shall not be in vain!
Shamir volume_up

Shamir volume_up
Surprised you came for me. I guess I should return the favor.
link Felix volume_up
The emperor's personal guard is pretty tough. I'm almost impressed... Almost.
link Dedue volume_up
You're safe here. Please, go rest. You can leave this to us.
Viscount Fenja volume_up
Appreciate it. I owe you one.
Shamir volume_up
Sorry, Catherine... Guess you have to go it alone from here...
link Rodrigue volume_up
We're too late! How could this happen...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
One of the Gautier brats, huh? Don't tell me you actually want to fight me.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Heh, I'm a lot more than some stupid family name. I'll knock your teeth out for that!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Well isn't someone feisty. Fine, then. Show me what you can do!
link Sylvain volume_up
Miklan and Gwendal are fighting? Hm... It's probably for the best that I don't go help him, honestly.
link Dimitri volume_up
Perhaps, but we can't abandon him either. Let us open this gate and hurry to Miklan's aid!
link Rodrigue volume_up
Gwendal's soldiers have stationed themselves in front of the main hall? We'll need to move quickly if we want to save Miklan.
link Dimitri volume_up
Indeed. The gate controls should be nearby. Let us commence the rescue!
link Sylvain volume_up
So we have to open this gate before we can open the one at the main hall? Well, that's annoying.
link Dimitri volume_up
Little wonder this is known as an impregnable fortress. In order to open one gate, we must also open countless others.
link Rodrigue volume_up
True to its fame, the Silver Maiden's arsenal is robust indeed.
link Sylvain volume_up
That's one!
link Sylvain volume_up
That's one!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Not bad! But not good enough to beat me, whelp!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It might be different if you had a Crest, but there's no way I'm losing to some Crestless old man!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Haha! You sure know how to bark, but can you bite? Let's find out, shall we, Miklan?
Supply Master volume_up
It appears we're in time. We will help bolster the main hall.
link Sylvain volume_up
Wow, the old man's here! I guess it really never hurts to ask.
link Dimitri volume_up
Dispatching that envoy to the margrave was a worthwhile gambit. This should be a great help as we advance.
link Dimitri volume_up
There should be one more device to open the gates to the main hall. We'll need to locate it.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You really don't hold anything back, do you? It's time I put you out of your misery!
Miklan volume_up
Ngh! Heh, what a joke... Still...at least I bought us all the time we needed...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
True, I didn't expect you to give me that much trouble. You put up a fine fight, whelp. Or should I say...Sir Miklan.
Supply Master volume_up
I may have disowned him as my son, but I see no reason not to avenge him.
link Sylvain volume_up
Can't believe he kept that many forces away from the main hall. That brother of mine really was something.
link Dimitri volume_up
No! We were a step too late. We must make haste for the main hall. Our assistance is sorely needed.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Everyone, prepare to fire! We'll give 'em hell!
link Felix volume_up
We won't get very far like this. We need to shut those weapons down first!
link Dedue volume_up
That should put a stop to the attacks too.
link Ashe volume_up
Now the stronghold is ours! Let's turn these things off!
link Mercedes volume_up
Perfect. Now the traps should be disabled too!
link Dimitri volume_up
Well done, everyone! All that's left is to invade the main hall!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You've got spirit, daughter of Charon. I'm impressed.
Anaximandros volume_up
Ha! That's big talk from someone who looks like he's got one foot in the grave.
link Flayn volume_up
Oh no, Catherine! We must go to her aid!
link Seteth volume_up
I am glad to find you unharmed, Catherine. Her Grace was worried about you.
Anaximandros volume_up
She was? Well, that's a real shot in the arm!
Anaximandros volume_up
Sorry you had to come back me up, but we managed thanks to you!
link Sylvain volume_up
I never wanted to see you again, but here we are anyway. Someone has to avenge my brother's death.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hah! I remember you as a snot-nosed brat, but I see you're all grown up now.
Gwendal volume_up
I see the whelps are all here! Think any of you can kill me?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
As a knight, it's my duty to seek revenge for my lord. I'll fight for the count until my dying breath!
Supply Master volume_up
I take no pleasure in killing a man like you, yet I cannot allow you to live on.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
As a knight of House Rowe, I'll take back my lord's castle if it costs me my life!
Gwendal volume_up
As far as graves go...yes, this'll do.
link Rodrigue volume_up
A knight with no lord to serve faces adversity indeed.
Anaximandros volume_up
Guess I really dragged you down there. Thanks for the help.
Anaximandros volume_up
Shamir is dead?! I... I see...
??? volume_up
Report! A large Imperial force is advancing on the Arianrhod perimeter!
link Felix volume_up
And I'd bet the emperor is with them. What's our move, boar?
link Dimitri volume_up
We will not give the fortress back to them. All forces, move to intercept!
Yuri volume_up
You should know that this fortress is one fun surprise after another. Well, would you look at that? A hidden staircase!
link Dimitri volume_up
They've opened another secret passage? Whoever that is must be quite familiar with the construction of this place.

link Annette volume_up
If we don't stop that guy soon, enemies are going to come flooding in from all directions.
link Dedue volume_up
We must remove him quickly. Otherwise the enemy will continue to pour in.
link Ashe volume_up
If it's someone from House Rowe... Oh, then maybe we can persuade him to join our side!
link Rodrigue volume_up
Hmm, this is going to be trouble. Maybe we can talk him over to our side.
Dominic General volume_up
Hmm...and here I thought I'd feel something. I might actually kill you this time.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Kill me? Wait, who are you again?!
link Hapi volume_up
Seeing as I don't wanna fight you, Yuri-bird, what say we call this whole thing off?
Dominic General volume_up
Hey, I don't want to fight you either—but when I take a job, I always see it through.
Dominic General volume_up
Please tell me you're not pointing that thing at my beautiful face.
Dominic General volume_up
That old man was just looking for a good place to die. And now that he's dead, it's all on me. What a pain.
link Dimitri volume_up
Were you with the bandits? Or Gwendal? Wait. You're from House Rowe.
Yuri volume_up
I really blew it this time... Sorry, guys... Sorry, mom.
link Ashe volume_up
I know I've seen him somewhere before. But I suppose we'll never know now.
link Ashe volume_up
Oh, I knew it! You're from House Rowe! We sure could use you on our side. What do you say?
link Dimitri volume_up
I understand now. Would you be interested in working with us? I am asking with full knowledge of your identity.
Dominic General volume_up
Well, when you put it that way, I guess I would prefer not to get butchered.
Waldemar volume_up
Arianrhod is a key position for us. We must retake it, even if we suffer losses in the process.
Linhardt volume_up
I can't believe I got myself dragged out here...
Miklan volume_up
Oh hey, Petra. Sorry, but could you try not to kill me?
link Petra volume_up
Then you should surrender prior to your dying!
link Dorothea volume_up
Lin? On a battlefield? I never thought I'd see the day, but I can't go easy on you.
Miklan volume_up
I'm actually more surprised to find you still out here, Dorothea.
Miklan volume_up
Bernadetta. Let's just...pretend we didn't see each other, OK?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh yeah, that sounds great... I mean, I can't do that!
Miklan volume_up
Couldn't someone else have handled this? What am I even doing here?
Miklan volume_up
Oh, I'm really in it now. Who knows if I can even hold out until Her Majesty gets here...
Dark Merchant volume_up
I am Waldemar von Hevring, Imperial Minister of Domestic Affairs. My reasons for being here are my own.
Dark Merchant volume_up
I won't be much use if I'm wounded any further.
Miklan volume_up
I'll be dropping out here. I'm not ready to die yet, after all.
Dark Merchant volume_up
There's no sense in getting myself killed. I shall retreat!
link Dimitri volume_up
Excellent, that's their vanguard commanders dealt with. The question now is, where is Edelgard?
Edelgard volume_up
We will crush the Kingdom army and seize Arianrhod once and for all! Forward!
Ferdinand volume_up
This battle shall determine the fate of the western front! We must show them the might of the Empire!
link Dimitri volume_up
If we can take her down here, the war is over. Everyone, now is the time to rally against the Empire!
Raphael volume_up
I have nothing more to say to you. This ends now.
link Dimitri volume_up
Yes...I suppose it does, Edelgard. Let us finish this.
Raphael volume_up
It's been a while, Petra. You know, it's not too late for you to come back to the Empire. What do you say?
link Petra volume_up
I am wishing this were different, but I will not turn my coat a second time. I am fighting with pride as the future queen of Brigid!
link Dorothea volume_up
I won't make excuses, Edie. I fought them... and I lost. This is just how things ended up.
Raphael volume_up
Then say no more, and prepare to lose once again. I'll drag you back to the Empire myself.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh, Your Majesty! I, um... Hi?
Raphael volume_up
Calm down, Bernadetta. You're going to drop your weapon.
Raphael volume_up
I have no mercy for any who oppose me! Prepare to die!
Shez volume_up
The emperor herself! I'll be the one to bring her down!
Shez volume_up
The emperor herself! I'll be the one to bring her down!
Raphael volume_up
It will take more than this to stop me!
link Dimitri volume_up
We finally have our chance. I cannot let it go to waste!
Raphael volume_up
I surrender. Now read me my last rites, or let me go.
link Dimitri volume_up
Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to simply walk away. I need to ask you some questions.
Raphael volume_up
I surrender. Now read me my last rites, or let me go.
Raphael volume_up
We have not yet reached our goal! Continue the advance!
Raphael volume_up
We have not yet reached our goal! Continue the advance!
Raphael volume_up
Our goal lies right ahead. We will demonstrate our true might here and now!
Raphael volume_up
Our goal lies right ahead. We will demonstrate our true might here and now!
link Felix volume_up
We got careless. We have to do something or she'll take the main hall!
Citizen volume_up
More Kingdom forces! Quick, request reinforcements from the main army!
link Annette volume_up
Stop the messengers! If they send in more troops, we'll never reach the main hall!
link Dedue volume_up
They're trying to call for reinforcements. We can't let that happen.
link Annette volume_up
There. No reinforcements should be showing up now.
link Dedue volume_up
Good. They couldn't call for reinforcements.
link Annette volume_up
Oh no! The messengers got past!
link Felix volume_up
Ugh, they got away! Everyone, get ready for enemy reinforcements!
link Sylvain volume_up
If they get the main hall, we'll lose the whole battle. Plus we've got to protect the strongholds all around it too.
link Dimitri volume_up
We cannot allow the main hall to succumb. Bolster the strongholds' defenses.
link Sylvain volume_up
Nice one! That's a huge relief.
link Ingrid volume_up
They've broken through our defenses! Hurry, push them back!
link Dimitri volume_up
The main hall is in danger. We must push them back, quickly.
Thales volume_up
We must not lag behind Edelgard. Everyone, forward!
link Dedue volume_up
They've mobilized. We must defeat them quickly.
Thales volume_up
I daresay this means we must view Brigid as our enemy.
link Petra volume_up
Yes, Ferdinand. You gave me much kindness. Please have forgiveness.
link Dorothea volume_up
Oh, Ferdie! As dashing as ever, I see.
Thales volume_up
None of that, please, Dorothea. It is entirely wasted in a moment such as this.
Thales volume_up
Bernadetta? I would never have expected to find you among the enemy's forces.
link Bernadetta volume_up
I'm as surprised as anyone! Sorry about this, Ferdinand!
Thales volume_up
Once this battle is over, I can just hear it... "Ferdinand von Aegir, Hero of Adrestia!"
Thales volume_up
Unfortunately, I really do have quite a lot to live for, so I must take my leave. But revenge will be mine!
link Felix volume_up
He's gone. I would've liked to take him out here and now, though, considering how... spirited he is.
link Dedue volume_up
Prepare a volley of arrows. Show them the results of your training.
link Dedue volume_up
Now...fire.
link Dimitri volume_up
All of you, prepare to close the gates. Finally, this complicated fortress is working in our favor.
link Dimitri volume_up
Now, close the gates. Lure the enemy in!
Supply Master volume_up
I of all people should know better than to act so carelessly. Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I must retreat.
Supply Master volume_up
To my utter shame, I leave with nothing avenged...
Anaximandros volume_up
Ugh! There's no way I'm dying now!
link Felix volume_up
Hey! It's all over for us if that stronghold falls. Aren't you gonna do something?
link Dimitri volume_up
The Knights of Seiros have fallen?! Without them, our defense is hopeless.
link Dimitri volume_up
No! We couldn't hold it... I have no choice but to accept our loss.
