Lord Ferdinand, I've brought an envoy from the Alliance.
link Holst volume_up
Allow me to introduce myself, sir. My name is Holst Sigiswald Goneril.
link Ferdinand volume_up
It is an honor to meet you. Even those of us from the Empire have heard tales of your valor.
link Ferdinand volume_up
I am Ferdinand von Aegir, and this army is under my command.
link Holst volume_up
I come as a representative for the Leicester Alliance. I'm sure you can guess what I'm planning to say.
link Ferdinand volume_up
You are here to ask for our surrender, I take it?
link Holst volume_up
Your army is surrounded with no hope of victory or retreat. There would be no dishonor in laying down your arms.
link Ferdinand volume_up
...

So the Empire declined our terms? I guess that's not a complete surprise.
link Holst volume_up
It was as if he didn't even consider the possibility. Perhaps he'd have regarded it an affront to his pride as a noble of the Empire.
link Claude volume_up
He's really willing to throw away the lives of those who serve him just for that?
link Holst volume_up
Actually, his troops' morale seemed unexpectedly high. I believe they've steeled themselves for a fight to the death.
link Holst volume_up
Not without exception, of course. One of his officers was hiding under a table.
link Holst volume_up
And I noticed some dispirited soldiers about their camp.
link Hilda volume_up
Hiding under a table? That has to be Bernadetta. I mean, who else could it be? I wonder if she'd hear us out...
link Claude volume_up
Since we couldn't convince Ferdinand to give up on this desperate last stand, we have no choice but to give him what he wants.
link Claude volume_up
If we win this battle, the Alliance will finally be back to where it was before the Empire invaded.
link Claude volume_up
No matter who you face on the battlefield, hold nothing back! Hit them with everything you've got!
