Look! The Imperial army is retreating!
link Holst volume_up
Steady, Hilda. Don't get too excited just yet. We've only repelled the first wave of their assault.
link Holst volume_up
The Empire has been funneling a great deal of troops into Leicester since taking control of the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
link Holst volume_up
I expect they'll have plenty of reinforcements at the ready, fresh and fully prepared to fight.
link Claude volume_up
Sharp as ever, Holst. I was thinking the same thing. We're not out of the woods just yet.
link Ignatz volume_up
But...you still have your plan, right?
link Hilda volume_up
But you still have that plan, right, Claude?
link Lorenz volume_up
I believe it is high time you explain exactly what scheme you hold up your sleeve.
link Claude volume_up
Just keep your eyes on the enemy, and you'll know soon enough. Assuming the plan actually succeeds, that is.
link Ignatz volume_up
Um, what do you mean by that?
link Lorenz volume_up
Enough with the theatrics. Do you truly intend to evade our questions, even now?
link Holst volume_up
Well, if that's what our leader says, we'll just have to monitor the Imperial army and await good news.
link Lorenz volume_up
If you are satisfied with that, Lord Holst, then it will have to suffice.

I don't get it. Why're you still being so tight-lipped about this plan?
link Shez volume_up
I don't get it. Why're you still being so tight-lipped about this plan?
link Claude volume_up
Just keeping my promise to a certain individual who also happens to be the linchpin of this entire scheme.
link Shez volume_up
How long are we gonna have to wait before we know if it worked?
link Shez volume_up
How long are we gonna have to wait before we know if it worked?
link Claude volume_up
Good question. I'd say about three days, give or take. If everything goes as planned, it'll all be clear as a nice summer sky.
link Claude volume_up
And, Lorenz? Apologies in advance.
link Lorenz volume_up
Why are you apologizing only to me? That feels somewhat disquieting. Oh, very well, I shall wait to see just what it is you have been scheming.
link Lorenz volume_up
But to be clear, if this plan of yours fails, the Alliance is finished. We will no longer be able to resist the Empire.
link Claude volume_up
Yes, I'm well aware. Failure isn't an option.
