Edelgard, why was it so important for us to suddenly convene like this?
linkFerdinandvolume_up
We are quite busy preparing to remobilize the troops, you know.
linkHubertvolume_up
Ah, Ferdinand. Have you not noticed the flock of messengers coming and going?
linkLinhardtvolume_up
I doubt anyone's missed it with all the commotion they're causing. What happened?
linkHubertvolume_up
I am sorry you have to repeat your report, but would you mind telling everyone here what you told us?
linkScholarvolume_up
I come with a most urgent message from Bergliez territory. Fort Merceus has been seized.
linkScholarvolume_up
It happened after most of the garrison left to deal with Hrym lands. Apparently, some of the remaining troops staged a rebellion from within.
linkScholarvolume_up
At the same time, the fort was besieged by unidentified mages, along with the army of the former Duke Aegir.
linkScholarvolume_up
Together, they managed to reach the heart of the fortress and seize control. As we speak, they hold hostage many key commanders and their families.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
Aegir?! Then the man behind all this is...
linkScholarvolume_up
The former duke himself, my lord. It seems he's come out of hiding.
