Move the injured soldiers to the rear! All those who
[cdb]can fight, reform your ranks!
As soon as we are prepared, we will launch another
[cdb]attack on Derdriu!
Another one? Why don't we just, um...wait for Count
Bergliez?
Our enemy is exhausted, while we have plenty of
[cdb]soldiers who are unharmed and able to fight. This is
[cdb]the most opportune time to strike.
Lord Ferdinand.
Ah, General Ladislava. We have been waiting for you.
Has Count Bergliez arrived?
No, he has yet to depart the Empire. There has been
[cdb]some suspicious activity in southern Leicester that
[cdb]has made the minister wary to proceed.
Suspicious activity, you say? Do we have any idea
[cdb]what the Alliance is plotting?
Not to my knowledge, sir. As much as it pains me to
[cdb]say it, perhaps we should fall back until we
[cdb]know more.
Hm. And yet here we stand, on the precipice of
[cdb]victory...
General Ladislava! Our scouts have returned!
And what do they report?
Gloucester soldiers have launched a surprise attack
[cdb]on the Great Bridge of Myrddin! We've lost control of
[cdb]the bridge!
We anticipate that House Gloucester and Ordelia's
[cdb]forces will soon seize the lands that belonged to
House Phlegethon!
...
So, Count Gloucester was deceiving us all along.
What?! We've been tricked? Oh no... No, no, no!
We're doomed!
It seems we have blundered right into an Alliance
[cdb]trap.
We have to retreat! Get out of here! Find someplace
[cdb]safe to hide!
Calm yourself, Bernadetta. A leader must project
[cdb]confidence for the good of their soldiers.
We shall begin an orderly march to the Great Bridge
[cdb]of Myrddin at once.
Though the enemy may give chase, stopping is not an
[cdb]option. We must maintain our course for the Empire,
[cdb]and let nothing deter us.
Understood. I am with you, wherever you may
[cdb]take us.
I apologize for leading you both into this debacle.
For now, all we can do is pray that any part of our
[cdb]host makes it back to the Empire safely.
Forgive me, Edelgard. I may not be able to keep my
[cdb]promise to you after all.
