Imperial Army Camp (Riegan Territory)

What a brilliant trap. The Riegan boy's even craftier than they say.

I agree, sir. Even Count Gloucester's inept army seems to be acting with remarkable discipline.
link Mage volume_up
But will the reinforcements reach us in time?
link Leopold volume_up
Hmph. The real question is are they coming at all?
link Leopold volume_up
Because if they're on the way, they'll make it in time. So long as I draw breath, they will make it.
link Leopold volume_up
So count on them coming. Her Majesty would never abandon us.
link Mage volume_up
Yes, sir!
link Leopold volume_up
Soldiers of the Empire! I know fear gnaws at your hearts, and that's nothing to be ashamed of!
link Leopold volume_up
Don't run from this fear—embrace it! Take measure of the enemy that surrounds us and look them square in the face!
link Leopold volume_up
Yes, we're outmaneuvered and face a vicious fight ahead. But pray to the goddess for protection, and her fire will fill your soul and temper your resolve!
link Leopold volume_up
Our only duty here is to stay alive! Be fearful of death, and let not a single soldier fall needlessly!
link Leopold volume_up
Raise your voices with me now! Let me hear your courage! We will not lose!
Alliance Army Camp (Riegan Territory)

Wow, these guys aren't backing down. If anything, they actually seem more excited than before.
link Claude volume_up
How is that possible? They're completely surrounded! No one will ever reach them in time.
link Judith volume_up
Yes, but Count Bergliez is their commander.
link Judith volume_up
And I'm guessing a lot of those troops are veterans of the Dagda and Brigid War.
link Judith volume_up
During that conflict, the count's troops held off wave after wave of Dagda soldiers, right to the very end.
link Judith volume_up
Our force must look tame in comparison.
link Claude volume_up
OK, so what now? I wanted this to be clean, but we're looking at a complete bloodbath on both sides.
link Claude volume_up
What I want is the upper hand against the Empire, not these people's lives.
link Judith volume_up
And there's honor in that, but I don't think they're going to play along.
link Claude volume_up
They don't have to accept every part of it. I just thought they might be...you know? Scared?
link Claude volume_up
Well, so be it. They may have boundless courage, but they don't have boundless food.
link Claude volume_up
If Count Bergliez wants me to tighten the snare, that's exactly what I'll do.
