Let me get this straight. If they break through Hevring land, there'll be nothing to stop the Kingdom's army from rolling straight to the capital.
linkRandolphvolume_up
That's right. The seat of Hevring's power, Mozghuz, lies east of here, past the bottleneck in the Oghma Mountains.
linkRandolphvolume_up
It's essentially on Enbarr's doorstep. The western gateway to the seat of power.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Count Hevring and his men will make their last stand there.
linkRandolphvolume_up
That is, if the lions of Faerghus can get through us first. And of course, we will make every possible effort to defeat them, for whatever that's worth.
linkJeraltvolume_up
Never a good sign when you're calling something your last stand.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Indeed. And we've lost far too many of our most formidable generals, including Marquis Vestra.
linkRandolphvolume_up
I've not the slightest idea what's befallen our forces at the capital, nor in the east for that matter.
linkJeraltvolume_up
Yes, the whole army's been feeling a little off lately. Thankfully you and your squadron still have your heads on straight.
linkRandolphvolume_up
It's a sad state of affairs out there. Hardly any dependable leaders remain.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Instead we're left with those who take pride in senseless looting and slaughter, or compete to see who can reduce more villages to ash.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Each and every one of them handpicked by His Excellency, the regent.
linkJeraltvolume_up
Are you sure you should be spilling secrets like that?
linkRandolphvolume_up
It's all right. I'd like you to have the full picture.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Your company holds the key to victory in your hands. And with it, our very lives.
linkRandolphvolume_up
Oh, but keep all that under wraps if you would. It would bring the morale of my troops crashing to new lows were that to get out.
linkJeraltvolume_up
Usually mercs are backup for an army, not full-on replacements. But it is what it is.
linkJeraltvolume_up
In any case, we'll get the job done so long as you're paying.
