Siege

link Catherine volume_up
Bring your company over to the western wall. I'll defend the interior myself.

link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Yes, Lady Catherine!

link Shamir volume_up
Been a while since I've had the pleasure of watching you work, Catherine.

link Catherine volume_up
I could say the same of you.

link Catherine volume_up
It's been, what, two years now since you left the knights?

link Catherine volume_up
You picked some time for a reunion.

link Shamir volume_up
The Kingdom called, and I answered. That's it. Besides...

link Miklan volume_up
What? If you got words for me, then spit 'em out.

link Catherine volume_up
Words, huh? You know, I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard there was an ex-bandit playing general over here.

link Catherine volume_up
But your orders are precise, and you have some serious tactical know-how. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were a trained leader.

link Shamir volume_up
Sometimes even bandits have great commanders. Not often, but I've seen it happen.

link Miklan volume_up
Hmph. Our lands were always under siege by Sreng forces. Got defense strategies practically beaten into me when I was a little kid.

link Catherine volume_up
You really are the former heir to House Gautier, then. I heard a lot about you when I was a kid myself.

link Catherine volume_up
I'd always hoped to spar with you one day. Never thought you'd end up disowned.

link Miklan volume_up
Cram it. I'm the one who cut ties with that rotten house of mine.

link Shamir volume_up
You've done well to stay alive since.

link Miklan volume_up
Yeah, because I've got a purpose now.

link Miklan volume_up
I'm gonna show the world that if I act all proper, even a Crestless loser like me can accomplish whatever he wants.

link Miklan volume_up
Ugh, made me sick to my stomach hearing that drivel. Even sicker coming from some weak-willed king with a Crest who's been spoon-fed his whole life.

link Catherine volume_up
Yet here you are fighting in his army. And well, at that.

link Miklan volume_up
Yeah. Turns out the king's not the only weak-willed one around here.

link Miklan volume_up
You know what they said to me? That I wasn't gonna be held back by Crests anymore. That the only thing tying me down now was my own past mistakes.

link Miklan volume_up
Now look at me. Square at the top of a squad full of Crest-bearers and non alike.

link Miklan volume_up
But ridiculous as it sounds...part of me's actually come to like it.

link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Lady Catherine, our enemies are within the fortress! But...all of the gates were sealed!

link Catherine volume_up
This is Arianrhod we're talking about. There's probably more than a few hidden passageways we're not aware of in here.

link Shamir volume_up
The former lord of this fortress, Count Rowe, fell in battle. But I doubt he was the only one familiar with the secrets of its construction.

link Catherine volume_up
Then we'll have to fight them off until reinforcements arrive. I will cut these trespassers down in one fell swoop!

link Miklan volume_up
We don't even know how many of them there are yet. Looks like I'm finally settling my debts.

link Shamir volume_up
Such a bleak outlook will only consign you and your soldiers to defeat.

link Miklan volume_up
Why you! Forget it. Look, if you wanna make it out of this alive, you'll listen close.

link Miklan volume_up
A fortress like this has always got a secret passage, and there's only a few places it could be...

link Dedue volume_up
The fighting has reached Arianrhod's inner walls.

link Dedue volume_up
The enemy must have entered through some unknown route.

link Dimitri volume_up
I appreciate your confidence. Is everyone prepared? Today we will deal a decisive blow not only to the vile emperor, but to all of Adrestia.

link Dimitri volume_up
And I will be depending on each and every one of you to do it. Now, with me!
