It's me, Count Gloucester. Lysithea von Ordelia.
link Erwin volume_up
Ah, yes. Please come in.
link Lysithea volume_up
Thank you.
link Lysithea volume_up
Count Gloucester, I have come here in my father's stead, and must return to the front lines soon.
link Lysithea volume_up
But I wish to formally apologize for any trouble caused by the recent events in Ordelia.
link Erwin volume_up
Oh? But my domain was left largely unharmed.
link Erwin volume_up
In fact, if anyone is apologizing here, it should be me.
link Erwin volume_up
I knew full well what was happening in Ordelia, yet was only able to dispatch a small force to aid you.
link Lysithea volume_up
It is only natural that a house should prioritize the safety of its own domain.
link Lysithea volume_up
And besides, House Gloucester is tasked with protecting the crucial Great Bridge of Myrddin.
link Erwin volume_up
Your understanding is appreciated, but for me, I fear this also has a personal component.
link Erwin volume_up
It is true that I could not abandon the Great Bridge, yet your father has been my compatriot for many years, and I view him as a true brother-in-arms.
link Erwin volume_up
Had something happened to him, I would never have been able to forgive myself.
link Lysithea volume_up
I had no idea you held my father in such high regard.
link Erwin volume_up
I have always felt I owed him far more than I was ever able to give.
link Lysithea volume_up
And what do you owe him, exactly?
link ??? volume_up
My lord, you have a messenger from the Federation army.
link Erwin volume_up
Send them through.
link ??? volume_up
At once, sir.
link Shez volume_up
Sorry to barge in like this.
link Shez volume_up
Sorry to barge in like this.
link Lysithea volume_up
What do you want?
link Shez volume_up
Oh, hey, Lysithea. Didn't know you were here, but it actually saves me some time.

link Erwin volume_up
You are the mercenary captain who reports directly to His Majesty, yes? Has something happened?
link Shez volume_up
A town south of here has been overrun by bandits. Down in Ordelia territory.

link Lysithea volume_up
What?!
link Erwin volume_up
And here I had hoped all those rogues had been suppressed.
link Shez volume_up
It's just a ragtag group of anyone who managed to avoid extermination at the hands of the Federation. Looks like they all came together for one last hurrah.

link Shez volume_up
Since the town isn't too far away, I was asked to come here and see if you could spare any troops.

link Erwin volume_up
I will send all I can, but I fear it will be a scant force.
link Lysithea volume_up
But surely the Federation will send reinforcements as well?
link Shez volume_up
Well, that's the thing—everyone's sorta got their hands full preparing for the next battle.

Honestly, they could barely spare me as a messenger.

I didn't realize Claude could be so cruel.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, it's the truth—this is just bad timing. All the big names are scattered off in one place or another.

link Shez volume_up
I mean, take you. You're all the way out here apart from the main force, right?
link Shez volume_up
I mean, take you. You're all the way out here apart from the main force, right?
link Lysithea volume_up
Still your tongue! I'll have you know I'm here on very important business!
link Erwin volume_up
This bickering can wait. We need to mobilize what units we have at once.
link Shez volume_up
We? Wait, you're coming?
link Shez volume_up
We? Wait, you're coming?
link Erwin volume_up
Am I unwelcome?
link Shez volume_up
Hey, the more the merrier. Welcome aboard.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, the more the merrier. Welcome aboard.
link Erwin volume_up
I am glad to hear it, for any force would be lucky to have the great Erwin Fritz Gloucester on their side!
link Shez volume_up
Of course you're welcome! I'm just a bit worried, is all. I mean, sure, these guys are the dregs of the bandit world, but they're still dangerous.
link Shez volume_up

link Erwin volume_up
You insult me. This is Erwin Fritz Gloucester who stands before you, not some sheltered figurehead!
link Erwin volume_up
My military prowess may not be as renowned as some, but I have bestrode many a battlefield in my day.
link Erwin volume_up
Sadly, I could not lend much aid during the recent disturbances in Ordelia, but this is my chance to rectify that error.
link Lysithea volume_up
In that case, we should be off.
link Shez volume_up
I sure hope he knows what he's doing...
