It seems the Leicester campaign is proceeding smoothly.

Indeed. Count Gloucester's timely surrender allowed us to advance with minimal casualties.

Ferdinand's battalion is tightening the noose around House Riegan's territory as we speak.

The Minister of Military Affairs is making the necessary preparations to move his forces into the Alliance as well.

Once Count Bergliez takes the field, we won't have anything to worry about on that front.
linkHubertvolume_up
Yes. And at the moment, we have little choice but to divert most of our military might to our conflict with Faerghus on the western front.

I fear Count Rowe's abrupt change in allegiance will have only served to further provoke the Kingdom's army.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Ah, yes. Him. He disregarded our timetable and launched an attack on the Kingdom without our approval.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
And in doing so has done nothing but make trouble for the Empire. Still, we can hardly afford to abandon him.
linkHubertvolume_up
We have led our vassals to believe the Empire will always come to their aid. What a troublesome policy that has turned out to be.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
The policy may be irksome, but we will not fail to honor it. Dispatch immediate reinforcements to Count Rowe.
linkHubertvolume_up
Understood. And what message shall I send to Count Bergliez?

I'm still a little wary of the Alliance's plans, but...tell him we leave matters in his capable hands.
