Claude's blockade stands between you and Count Bergliez. The general can't hold out much longer— you must break through and save him before it's too late.

link Edelgard volume_up
Count Bergliez controls the stronghold in the center of the plain, but the enemy has him completely cut off from aid.
link Edelgard volume_up
Our goal is to break the siege so he and his troops can evacuate safely.
Gustave volume_up
So much for securing a surrender before reinforcements arrive... Well, you all know what to do. Engage the enemy!
link Caspar volume_up
There's no time for the delicate approach. Let's tear into 'em from all sides!
link Hubert volume_up
There can be no victory this day if we do not rescue both Bergliez and his troops.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Her Majesty comes to rescue us! I know your spirits are weary, but rekindle them now with whatever spark of hope remains in your soul!
link Ferdinand volume_up
We have broken through! Continue pushing!
Marianne volume_up
I stand with my friends and will not permit you to pass!
link Edelgard volume_up
Aren't negotiations with Margrave Edmund still ongoing? Perhaps we can win Marianne over to our side.
link Lorenz volume_up
Marianne, whatever are you doing on the front lines? Stand down!
Chilon volume_up
No! I can't abandon my friends when they all fight for their lives!
link Ignatz volume_up
I know you hate this kind of thing, Marianne, so please! Put down your weapon!
Chilon volume_up
No! I can't abandon my friends when they all fight for their lives!
link Ignatz volume_up
I'm sorry, Marianne, but I've chosen to join the Empire.
Chilon volume_up
And my choice has long since been made— I stand with Claude, as I always have.
Chilon volume_up
What does it matter if I die...
Viscount Albany volume_up
Marianne, no! How could you?!
link Lorenz volume_up
I cannot bear to strike you down, Marianne. Please surrender—your father will understand.
Chilon volume_up
You're right. My adoptive father would want me to lay down my arms, not my life.
link Hubert volume_up
Talks with Margrave Edmund will go much better if you surrender here. Will you not consider it?
Chilon volume_up
You're right. My adoptive father would want me to lay down my arms, not my life.
Raphael volume_up
I'm itching to show what my muscles can do. Now, who... Huh? Oh, hey, Ignatz!
Raphael volume_up
I'm itching to show what my muscles can do. Now, who wants to be first?
link Ignatz volume_up
I don't want to kill you, Raphael...so I'm just going to have to knock some sense into you instead!
link Ignatz volume_up
Wait, that's Raphael! Don't kill him, please! Let me talk to him first!
Shez volume_up
I thought I might find you here, Lorenz.
link Lorenz volume_up
Yes, House Gloucester fights with the Empire now. But what of you? Is this truly where you wish to die?
link Ignatz volume_up
I'm sorry, Raphael, but I've chosen my side. I fight with the Empire now!
Shez volume_up
Well, I guess you're gonna do what you have to do. You're a knight of Gloucester now, after all.
Shez volume_up
Ugh, this is rough. My body's crying out for a break!
link Ignatz volume_up
I made my choice.
link Ignatz volume_up
You don't have to do this, Raphael. Think about Maya! She needs you, remember?
Shez volume_up
Hey, no fair! But...all right, Ignatz. I'm in, but only 'cause it's you!
link Edelgard volume_up
We must secure an exit for our allies. Taking down those strongholds will drive a wedge into their siege!
link Petra volume_up
There are two strongholds. We must deploy our forces with cleverness to be taking both.
link Linhardt volume_up
Now then, if they'll just be kind enough to let us escape this way...
Hilda volume_up
Look, I really need to hold this line, so why don't you just leave and we'll call it a day?
link Balthus volume_up
Uh oh. You're not here with... OK, whew! No Holst. Now scram already, will ya? Get outta here while you still can!
Viscount Albany volume_up
Oh, I will, Baltie—right after you explain why you're fighting for the Empire! You know Holst is never gonna let you live this down!
link Lorenz volume_up
Please stand down, Hilda. It would grieve me terribly to take your life.
Viscount Albany volume_up
Then maybe you should stand down, because I'm not going anywhere!
link Ignatz volume_up
I knew this was coming, but it still hurts to fight my old friends...
Viscount Albany volume_up
You serve House Gloucester. What did you expect?
Viscount Albany volume_up
I can't mess this up—not when everyone's counting on me.
Gustave volume_up
Get outta there, Hilda! We can't lose you!
Viscount Albany volume_up
Yeah, all right... Sorry!
Lysithea volume_up
All right, here they come... But I came here to fight, and I won't back down!
link Hubert volume_up
House Ordelia has already offered us their allegiance, which means Lysithea is here of her own accord.
link Balthus volume_up
Whoa, hold on. I can't fight you! You're from House Ordelia!
Pittacus volume_up
Well, don't expect me to hold back just because you do.
link Lorenz volume_up
I do not understand your motives, Lysithea. Why do you go against your house's wishes?
Pittacus volume_up
My decisions are my own, Lorenz—and there are some sacrifices I simply won't make.
link Ignatz volume_up
Please stand down, Lysithea! There's no reason for us to fight!
Pittacus volume_up
I don't remember asking your opinion!
Pittacus volume_up
Not bad. No, not bad at all.
Pittacus volume_up
I surrender. And as it was my choice alone to be here, I ask you not to take action against my parents.
link Edelgard volume_up
Then it's a good thing I'm not the type to punish people for such trivial reasons.
link Edelgard volume_up
I heard about what was done to you, Lysithea. And as one who understands that intimately, I ask you to join my cause.
Pittacus volume_up
You, too... Yes, all right. I'll hear you out.
link Edelgard volume_up
Our allies are nearly within reach! Clear out the enemy soldiers in those strongholds!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Well met, my son. For the first time in my life, I thought my end had come for me.
link Caspar volume_up
Yeah, I've never seen you in such bad shape. You look half-dead!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It surprises me to see you among the ranks of my rescuers.
link Petra volume_up
Do not be having the wrong idea. I am helping the Empire, not you.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I'm humbled you came for me personally, Your Majesty.
link Edelgard volume_up
You can thank me once we're clear of this place. Now ready your troops for retreat.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ah, but it does my heart good to see you! Pray take care of my troops.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
The siege is broken, men! Your courage and perseverance have been rewarded!
link Edelgard volume_up
The way is open! Move as one, and defend the count and his soldiers as we go!
Gustave volume_up
You think I'm just gonna let you slink out of here? Ha! I'm already two steps ahead!
Viscount Hymir volume_up
Looks like we're up.
link Edelgard volume_up
They've cut off our escape and... Oh no. Look who's with them.
Shez volume_up
We won't put a dent in Jeralt's company with the numbers he has. I vote we rush Claude's main position instead.
Shez volume_up

link Hubert volume_up
It would indeed catch him by surprise— but do we flank from the left or right?
link Monica volume_up
Either way, let's choose a path and clear out anyone foolish enough to stand before us!
link Hubert volume_up
Very well. We attack from that direction.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Her Majesty blazes the trail! Charge!
link Edelgard volume_up
This retreat is looking more and more like a full-on assault... Stay with him, everyone!
Gustave volume_up
Hold on. Are they coming for us?!
link Hubert volume_up
Very well. We attack from that direction.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Her Majesty blazes the trail! Charge!
link Edelgard volume_up
This retreat is looking more and more like a full-on assault... Stay with him, everyone!
Gustave volume_up
Hold on. Are they coming for us?!
link Hubert volume_up
So much for choosing which side to flank. It seems we must follow the count's lead.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Her Majesty has given us a chance to escape! Rush the enemy and smash the Alliance to splinters!
link Edelgard volume_up
I hope the count isn't doing what I think he's doing... Everyone, stay with him!
Gustave volume_up
Wait, what? They're going the wrong way!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
No Bergliez goes the long way round—we smash through and make our own path!
Gustave volume_up
Is he nuts? That's not even a proper path... Is he just coming straight for us?!
link Hubert volume_up
This strategy makes no sense at all, which is exactly why I think it may work.
link Edelgard volume_up
We're nearly clear of the battlefield! Just one more push and... Oh no.
Byleth volume_up
It won't do to have you slip our grasp now.
Byleth volume_up

You'll never get a better crack at the Alliance's leadership, Your Majesty. Hit them with all you have! Leave nothing on the battlefield!
link Edelgard volume_up
Count Bergliez is keeping the Ashen Demon busy, which means now is our chance to strike at Claude!
Gustave volume_up
So you're the one who's messing up all of my clever plans!
Shez volume_up
Hey, I just work here—but you're gonna make a nice trophy for the emperor.
Shez volume_up

link Edelgard volume_up
Claude, can't you just play nice until I achieve what I set out to do?
Gustave volume_up
Funny—I was gonna ask you that. But I'm guessing the answer's the same for both of us.
link Hubert volume_up
While you never fail to surpass expectations, it seems the element of surprise was with Count Bergliez today.
Gustave volume_up
Right? I hit the guy hard enough to break him a dozen times over and he still kept coming. He's more nightmare than man!
Gustave volume_up
I'm sad it's come to this, Lorenz.
link Lorenz volume_up
And yet even as you speak those words, you seek an opening to strike at me. I know you well, Claude.
Gustave volume_up
Never too late to do the right thing, Ignatz. Come back to us.
link Ignatz volume_up
Stop trying to sway me, Claude! It's not going to work!
Claude volume_up
The battle's lost if they've made it this far, but maybe I can still take out an officer or two.
Gustave volume_up
They've got me cornered! Better think fast...
Gustave volume_up
That's all I can take... Let's see if our new mercenary friend is worth all that gold.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I must be getting old... Enough! I'm falling back!
Viscount Hymir volume_up
You handle things over there. We'll hunt down the Imperials who escaped.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You protect the main position! We'll go after the Imperial soldiers who escaped!
link Hubert volume_up
We have reinforcements watching the escape route—they will hold Jeralt's Mercenaries at bay.
Byleth volume_up
My work here is unfinished!
Byleth volume_up

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I can't hold this monster back forever. Forget the Demon and take out the commander!
link Edelgard volume_up
Which just leaves the Ashen Demon. We're close to the finish now, so let's take whatever time we need and do this right.
link Monica volume_up
That clash with Count Bergliez has left the Demon weary—this could be our best chance to crush that pest for good.
Byleth volume_up
How many times have we fought now? Either way, this will be the last.

Does the center still hold?

Good, they're wide open. Push through! We must reach Count Bergliez!
Citizen volume_up
All right, you asked for it... Target their forts and crush their reinforcements!

So I don't want to panic anyone, but they're still hurling boulders at us!

Now! Heal Count Bergliez's forces!

Thank you!
link Monica volume_up
Now that our soldiers are away, we should send the white mages with them.
link Hubert volume_up
The count's soldiers we saved could be of great use if we place them under his command.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
With this many troops, I can finally turn the tide. Time to wipe the smug grin off that Alliance kid's face!
link Monica volume_up
If that's the escape plan, we're better off keeping the numbers small instead of relying on the count's men for aid.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
To think you would die when freedom was so near at hand... I will avenge you!
link Ferdinand volume_up
Pay attention! This will not be much of a rescue if none of the count's troops are alive at the end of it!

I am undone... It was a joy and an honor... to serve you...

They're dead... They're all dead... How could we let this happen?
