Let's reacquaint ourselves with the situation.
link Dimitri volume_up
Our forces have already pulled out of Arundel territory and withdrawn to the Fortress City of Arianrhod.
link Dimitri volume_up
The same city which finds itself now besieged by the Imperial army.
link Dedue volume_up
Most troubling, Your Majesty.
link Rodrigue volume_up
The Knights of Seiros dispatched their very best to the scene, but they find themselves at the sword end of the emperor's personal guard.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Still, the citadel will not fall easily. The stalemate could continue for some time yet.
link Shez volume_up
Can we really afford to wait, though? Arianrhod's supplies have gotta be running thin by now.

If we go without proper preparation, the Imperial army will simply crush us.
link Dimitri volume_up
Agreed. We should be using the time we have to strike in a manner most favorable to our situation.
link Dimitri volume_up
What we need do is sever the Imperial supply chain... then overwhelm and exterminate the withering remains of Edelgard's army.

Hold on, you wanna win the whole war in one go?

Indeed I do. We have been gifted the opportunity of a lifetime, and I do not intend to let it slip through my fingers.
link Dimitri volume_up
It will be a pincer attack, with the fortress at the Empire's front and our battalion at their rear. Even with their larger numbers we will hold the advantage.
link Flayn volume_up
All the more so with the Knights of Seiros in charge of defending Arianrhod.
link Ashe volume_up
And even if the emperor herself escapes, we'll have still dealt a huge blow to the Empire's military.
link Mercedes volume_up
Oh, I feel nervous all of a sudden. I never expected we'd reach a decisive battle like this so soon.
link Mercedes volume_up
Will we truly be able to win?
link Shez volume_up
We can do this, I know we can. The terrain here is in our favor—as long as we press that advantage, we'll come out on top.

Their army is...massive. How much can we really do against a force that size?

You needn't fear. We will control the tide of battle, and we will emerge victorious. I'm sure of it.
link Dedue volume_up
Let us rally the troops, Your Majesty.
link Dimitri volume_up
Yes. Onward, to victory.
