The Eastern Invasion

link Leonie volume_up
I can't believe the Almyran army is invading!

link Hilda volume_up
And with the biggest army since Fódlan's Locket was completed!

link Hilda volume_up
My brother's preparing to intercept them, but he's outnumbered big time and needs all the help he can get.

link Claude volume_up
House Riegan stands ready, but we can't expect my grandfather to lead an army, so I guess it falls to me.

link Claude volume_up
I wish I knew what the other Alliance lords will do, but there's no time to call a roundtable.

link Lorenz volume_up
I have no doubt my father has already leapt into action, though I will likely be the one who ends up on the front lines.

link Lysithea volume_up
House Ordelia is close, so I like to think we've already sent reinforcements.

link Marianne volume_up
Sadly, I expect little help to come from my adoptive father. I'm sorry.

link Claude volume_up
That's fine. I actually have a different favor to ask Margrave Edmund, but we can chat about it later.

link Ignatz volume_up
I don't understand the reason for this sudden act of aggression.

link Ignatz volume_up
If this really is the biggest army since Fódlan's Locket was completed, that's a century's worth of battles.

link Raphael volume_up
Maybe the Almyrans figured it's now or never, since the Empire and Kingdom are wrapped up in their own problems.

link Raphael volume_up
I mean, we're pretty much the only students left around here now.

link Leonie volume_up
Yeah, I heard something about a coup in Enbarr and a revolt in Fhirdiad?

link Lysithea volume_up
Both serious problems that don't directly affect the Alliance.

link Lysithea volume_up
And even if word of Fódlan's troubles has reached the Almyrans, it doesn't follow that they'd start a war.

link Claude volume_up
Well, that's assuming they have all the information— which seems unlikely.

link Claude volume_up
If all they heard was something vague like "war in the capitals," it might make them more likely to invade.

link Marianne volume_up
Do you truly think so?

link Shamir volume_up
The name's Shamir. I'm a Knight of Seiros.

link Shamir volume_up
The bulk of the knights were dispatched earlier to track down Tomas.

link Shamir volume_up
And the rest of us fanned out to the Kingdom and Imperial capitals.

link Claude volume_up
Yeah, I was worried they might've been deployed already. How did we end up with you?

link Shamir volume_up
The church may not be able to lend you an army, but they won't turn a blind eye.

link Shamir volume_up
I'm here because I'm the best woman for the job— my arrows will make short work of Almyran wyvern riders.

link Claude volume_up
So we get to see what the knights' best archer can do with a bow? I won't say no to that!

link Arval volume_up
It certainly sounds more interesting than staying here and twiddling our thumbs—and besides, who knows what will become of the academy in the meantime?
