Raphael: War brings sacrifice.
Jeralt: ...
Thales: The Kingdom nobles...
Rodrigue: They can really handle themselves!
Miklan: This area and the saints...
Jeritza: I'm kind of relieved.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: The north Kingdom is very cold.
Tomas: I'm really glad.
Myson: When the war's over...
Viscount Enid: The Ashen Demon...
<<EMPTY NAME>>: At long last!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I think I've been here before.
Metodey: My siblings...
Constance: I feel no shame.
Charon General: I want a piece of him.
Pittacus: They're likely to make a move.
Chilon: I'm still reluctant.
Rufus: I wonder if we can put a stop to it.
Viscount Fenja: The Central Church...
Dorothea: ...
Sylvain: ...
Viscount Hymir: I'm taking it easy.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: It's all thanks to you.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: It's true!
???: Looks like all the fighting's going well.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: It sure feels strange.
Ordelia General: I have mixed feelings.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I'll stop them!
???: In the northern part of the Kingdom...
???: I always go to Monica.
???: I'm glad.
???: There will still be delays.
???: The Imperial army is incredible!
???: Trading in the north is rotten.
???: Our camp...
???: I cannot reveal my identity...
Rodrigue: It could happen to me, too...
Tomas: I've got this feeling...
<<EMPTY NAME>>:
Dominic General: They've hired me now.
Dominic General: All the usual suspects, I see.
???: Nice to meetcha!
???: Our captain died.
Ordelia General: You should do something.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: Randolph...
: I can't wait to see Fhirdiad.
Shez: You daydreaming again?
: I can't wait to see Fhirdiad.
Shez: Food in the capital, huh...
link Edelgard
I know that war brings sacrifice, but going forward I want to prevent it as much as possible.
link Edelgard
And I mean on both sides. Though I doubt that will be easy.
link Edelgard
I know that war brings sacrifice, but going forward I want to prevent it as much as possible.
link Edelgard
And I mean on both sides. Though I doubt that will be easy.
link Shez
Yeah. It would be a lot easier to handle if we could just think of killing as part of our work...
link Shez
Yeah. It would be a lot easier to handle if we could just think of killing as part of our work...
link Edelgard
Perhaps our only choice is to view them as necessary sacrifices for a better future.
link Shez
Yeah. All these people are willing to throw away their lives just to get in our way.
link Shez
Yeah. All these people are willing to throw away their lives just to get in our way.
link Edelgard
I must seize a better future for us, even if it means cutting them down.
link Shez
Randolph, Jeralt... There were a lot of deaths on both sides this time around.
link Shez
Randolph, Jeralt... There were a lot of deaths on both sides this time around.
link Edelgard
Yes... I must do all that I can to create a better future, for their sakes as well.
link Hubert
Now that we are cooperating with the Alliance, the front lines have never been more stable.
link Hubert
I am certain that if we continue steadily and with equanimity, both the Kingdom and the Knights of Seiros will fall.
link Hubert
The problem is that I doubt they will be content to stand by and watch.
link Shez
"They"?
link Shez
"They"?
link Hubert
Thales and his compatriots, who have so mysteriously vanished. We must remain cautious. We do not know where they are or what they're plotting.
link Shez
You mean those who slither in the dark, right?
link Shez
You mean those who slither in the dark, right?
link Hubert
Indeed. As Thales has mysteriously vanished, we remain unaware of his movements. We must be wary.
link Ferdinand
The number of noble lords without Crests is steadily growing within the Empire.
link Ferdinand
I have heard that there are practically no lords without them in the Kingdom.
link Ferdinand
The only exception would be Baron Dominic. There was no Crest bearer in his generation.
link Ferdinand
However, his heir bears a Crest, and I seem to remember that his niece, Annette, does as well.
link Linhardt
Numerous spots in this area are connected to saints. Did someone already explain that to you?
link Linhardt
The Rhodos Coast in the north honors Saint Cichol. And to the south, there's Lake Teutates, which is Saint Indech's holy ground.
link Linhardt
I'd go see them if I wasn't in the army. Life just isn't fair.
link Shez
Couldn't you swing by and take a peek? They're not that far, right?
link Shez
Couldn't you swing by and take a peek? They're not that far, right?
link Linhardt
Oh, would you like to come with me? We probably could get permission if you did. Yes, let's do that.
link Shez
Yeah, that's too bad. Guess you'll just have to go when the war's over, huh?
link Shez
Yeah, that's too bad. Guess you'll just have to go when the war's over, huh?
link Linhardt
You're not the first person to tell me that. But still, it's disappointing to have to wait.
link Caspar
Randolph and Fleche can really handle themselves now!
link Caspar
They've been living up to expectations ever since Edelgard assigned them to our main forces.
link Caspar
Randolph might not be a Bergliez, but he's putting on an impressive show!
link Shez
I've got to keep up then. Same goes for you, y'know.
link Shez
I've got to keep up then. Same goes for you, y'know.
link Caspar
Exactly! I've gotta keep working harder!
link Shez
They're certainly more capable, but they've still got a long way to go.
link Shez
They're certainly more capable, but they've still got a long way to go.
link Caspar
What?! That means I've got a long way to go too! I've gotta keep up!
link Caspar
I guess anyone can get cut down before they hit their prime. Even me.
link Caspar
But I doubt Randolph regretted how it went down. He gave it his all and what happened...happened.
link Caspar
I just hope Fleche feels the same.
link Dorothea
Seeing people get killed in battle is really sad, whether they're a friend or an enemy.
link Dorothea
Still, I'm glad that I haven't gotten so used to it that it doesn't affect me.
link Shez
Yeah, I think that's a good thing. I've gotten too used to it myself, but you should stay the way you are.
link Shez
Yeah, I think that's a good thing. I've gotten too used to it myself, but you should stay the way you are.
link Dorothea
Really? You say that, but I know deep down you're a kind-hearted softie.
link Dorothea
Really? You say that, but I know deep down you're a kind-hearted softie.
link Shez
Yeah, that's how it goes. I've been a mercenary for a long time, but I'll never get used to it either.
link Shez
Yeah, that's how it goes. I've been a mercenary for a long time, but I'll never get used to it either.
link Dorothea
You sure you're not just saying that to make me feel better? But thanks all the same.
link Dorothea
You sure you're not just saying that to make me feel better? But thanks all the same.
link Petra
We are going more north in the Kingdom. It is very cold there.
link Petra
When I am cold, I am moving slower. It is dangerous if I use a weapon the wrong way.
link Petra
Everyone else is amazing, though. I cannot be doing the same...
link Bernadetta
Lately I've been getting this feeling...I'm really glad I was born in the Empire.
link Bernadetta
Lately I've been getting this feeling...I'm really glad I was born in the Empire.
link Bernadetta
Whenever we fight the Kingdom, I can't help but think how they've been having such a hard time...
link Bernadetta
Whenever we fight the Kingdom, I can't help but think how they've been having such a hard time...
link Shez
What do you think of the Alliance, then? Sounds like you've given this some thought.
link Shez
What do you think of the Alliance, then? Sounds like you've given this some thought.
link Bernadetta
Huh? That's not what I'm talking about right now!
link Shez
You know...the Empire doesn't have it any easier. I bet you'd say the opposite if you were born in the Kingdom.
link Shez
You know...the Empire doesn't have it any easier. I bet you'd say the opposite if you were born in the Kingdom.
link Bernadetta
Huh? That's not what I'm talking about! Ugh, never mind!
link Monica
Jeralt's Mercenaries have gotten in our way countless times.
link Monica
So needless to say, I have mixed feelings about them joining our side.
link Shez
I'm honestly happy about it. Now we've got more tough fighters on our side.
link Shez
I'm honestly happy about it. Now we've got more tough fighters on our side.
link Monica
Yes, I thought you'd say that. Quite a mercenary way of thinking.
link Shez
Yeah, me too. I tense up whenever I see them hanging around the base.
link Shez
Yeah, me too. I tense up whenever I see them hanging around the base.
link Monica
Right? I hope I get used to them soon, but...we can never be too careful.
link Manuela
I've been thinking about what it would take to re-open the Officers Academy. When the war's over, of course.
link Manuela
It wouldn't be at all similar to how it used to be, but still.
link Manuela
Edelgard and Ferdinand were downright enthusiastic when I suggested it.
link Manuela
They said they would start making preparations right away. They really are good kids.
link Jeritza
Byleth, the Ashen Demon... Quite a formidable warrior.
link Jeritza
It is truly vexing that I no longer have the chance to kill...or be killed by someone like that.
link Jeritza
Byleth, the Ashen Demon... Quite a formidable warrior.
link Jeritza
We will soon meet again on the battlefield. All I can do is pray to hasten the coming of that day.
link Jeritza
Heh. Perhaps a man such as he could slay me... and the demon within.
link Jeritza
Byleth, the Ashen Demon... Quite a formidable warrior.
link Jeritza
We will soon meet again on the battlefield. All I can do is pray to hasten the coming of that day.
link Jeritza
Heh. Perhaps a woman such as she could slay me... and the demon within.
link Constance
Ahaha! At long last, Her Majesty's ambitions are about to become a reality!
link Constance
Which means my own dreams will soon come to fruition as well! How positively thrilling!
link Shez
Edelgard achieving her ambitions doesn't necessarily mean your dreams will become reality.
link Shez
Edelgard achieving her ambitions doesn't necessarily mean your dreams will become reality.
link Constance
I am very well aware! I'm simply reveling in the moment!
link Constance
But I trust that Lady Edelgard will see my wishes brought to life. Without a doubt!
link Shez
Then I'd say congratulations are in order. We might be putting the cart before the horse a bit, but do you wanna celebrate anyway?
link Shez
Then I'd say congratulations are in order. We might be putting the cart before the horse a bit, but do you wanna celebrate anyway?
link Constance
We are certainly putting many carts before many horses! But I do appreciate the sentiment.
link Constance
I hope you will congratulate me again when Lady Edelgard makes my dreams a reality.
link Hapi
I think I've been here before. But I don't exactly recognize anything.
link Hapi
It seems like all of my old friends have died too. I should probably just forget about this place.
link Ashe
Lonato ordered my siblings to take refuge in the Empire.
link Ashe
I hope they're all OK. I've barely had any time to write to them.
link Ashe
The oldest of them was so amazed when I became a knight. He was happier than anyone else.
link Ashe
It scares me to think about whether he'd still be proud of me after all I've done.
link Lorenz
The Alliance is fighting well and keeping pace with the Empire for the moment.
link Lorenz
Therefore, I have managed to avoid feeling any shame thus far. However...
link Shez
I thought we were getting along with the Alliance just fine, but something in your voice tells me that not everything's peachy over there.
link Shez
I thought we were getting along with the Alliance just fine, but something in your voice tells me that not everything's peachy over there.
link Lorenz
No matter how close we may be to someone, those ties could be severed in an instant. That has been my experience, at least.
link Shez
Shame? What do you mean?
link Shez
Shame? What do you mean?
link Lorenz
I suppose it is a given that a commoner with an easy life would not understand.
link Ignatz
If our battles continue to go smoothly, then we'll be able to see Fhirdiad one day.
link Ignatz
I'm really looking forward to it... Sorry, that was an insensitive thing to say. Please just pretend you never heard that.
link Balthus
King Dimitri's supposed to be ridiculously powerful, right? If we end up clashing, I want a piece of him.
link Balthus
I've never met an enemy I couldn't break with my fists! Oh, uh, except for Holst.
link Balthus
Wait, and Count Bergliez too. Eh, whatever. I'm sure I'll be able to handle Dimitri. Bring it on!
link Raphael
We'll be fighting in the royal capital soon, right? I wonder what kind of city it is.
link Raphael
If we win, I'm gonna eat all of their most famous dishes till I burst!
link Lysithea
The closer we come to ending this war, the more likely they are to make a move.
link Lysithea
If their goal is to spread chaos throughout Fódlan, that is.
link Shez
Who's this "they" you're talking about?
link Shez
Who's this "they" you're talking about?
link Lysithea
What? Those who slither in the dark, obviously.
link Lysithea
They might even have some connection to you, but it seems like they barely register in your mind.
link Shez
You mean...those who slither in the dark, right?
link Shez
You mean...those who slither in the dark, right?
link Lysithea
Yes. We have no way of telling when they might make a move. So please stay alert.
link Marianne
I'm glad we did not have to fight against my adoptive father and everyone else in the Alliance.
link Marianne
But we'll never make amends with the Kingdom and the Central Church, will we?
link Marianne
They may be our enemy, but they're still human. I'm reluctant to take the lives of those to whom I bear no ill will...
link Mercedes
I wonder if it's not too late to put a stop to all this fighting. Warring with everyone in the Kingdom is just... I don't know...
link Mercedes
If House Dominic is leading the Faerghus forces, then Annie will definitely be at the battle.
link Mercedes
There's no way I could hurt her. She's my best friend. We've been together forever.
link Shez
What if you thought of a way to win the fight without killing her?
link Shez
What if you thought of a way to win the fight without killing her?
link Mercedes
Hm... That's an idea. I'll have to see what I can come up with.
link Shez
If you're not ready to kill your old friends, then you don't have to fight. Simple.
link Shez
If you're not ready to kill your old friends, then you don't have to fight. Simple.
link Mercedes
Yes... You're exactly right. I'm sorry for pushing my concerns onto you.
link Shamir
I hear the Central Church is headquartered in Camulus, which is south of Fhirdiad.
link Shamir
I'm not sure where Rhea is, though.
link Shez
I feel like all the church people that can fight are working with the royal army.
link Shez
I feel like all the church people that can fight are working with the royal army.
link Shez
Which means she's probably in Fhirdiad, right?
link Shez
Which means she's probably in Fhirdiad, right?
link Shamir
Could be. She's definitely a lot tougher than she looks.
link Shez
Maybe she's hiding out in the church in Camulus?
link Shez
Maybe she's hiding out in the church in Camulus?
link Shamir
Not sure about that. She's a lot tougher than she looks.
link Yuri
Balthus, Constance, Hapi. All the usual suspects are here.
link Yuri
Up until two years ago, I lived with them underground as part of the Ashen Wolves House.
link Shez
The Ashen Wolves? I don't remember that house from the Officers Academy.
link Shez
The Ashen Wolves? I don't remember that house from the Officers Academy.
link Yuri
It was called a "house," but really it was a home for young ones who had no place left to go in the world.
link Yuri
It was a comfortable place for people with special circumstances like us.
link Shez
And now you're together forever. Aww, it's sweet you're all such good friends.
link Shez
And now you're together forever. Aww, it's sweet you're all such good friends.
link Yuri
It's not about being good friends. We're just always bound to run into each other. I'm amazed we reunited here of all places, though.
link Yuri
I'm worried about the subordinates I left behind in Faerghus, but... Well, the Empire's hired me now.
link Yuri
Don't worry. Trust is the foundation of my business. I'm not going to betray you simply because it strikes my fancy.
link Yuri
But I suppose I would understand if someone didn't believe me because of my circumstances.
link Byleth
...
link Shez
You look puzzled. Is something wrong?
link Shez
You look puzzled. Is something wrong?
link Byleth
I just feel strange. Everyone's been much more welcoming than I thought they'd be.
link Byleth
No one's all that terrified of me.
link Byleth
...
link Shez
You look puzzled. Is something wrong?
link Shez
You look puzzled. Is something wrong?
link Byleth
I just feel strange. Everyone's been much more welcoming than I thought they'd be.
link Byleth
No one's all that terrified of me.
link Jeralt
Hey. I hope you don't mind that I'm taking it easy.
link Jeralt
We were often outnumbered—or otherwise at a disadvantage—when we fought the Imperial army in the past.
link Jeralt
But now that I'm working for them, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
link Shez
I'm shocked that even the Blade Breaker could feel that way.
link Shez
I'm shocked that even the Blade Breaker could feel that way.
link Jeralt
Blade Breaker or no, we all die the same.
link Shez
I get it. A dead mercenary can't take on much work.
link Shez
I get it. A dead mercenary can't take on much work.
link Jeralt
My point exactly. Looks like work'll be smooth sailing from here on out.
link ???
Looks like all the fighting is going well. And remember, a little shopping never hurt anybody!
link ???
It's been much easier doing business now that the Alliance and Empire are working together.
link ???
I'm gonna cram my shop full of all kinds of bargains!
link Alois
Hmm, it sure feels strange fraternizing with our arch-enemies...
link Alois
But bridging the gap is all part of the fun!
link Alois
I suppose you didn't get the pun. You see, it's a play on "arch" enemies and "bridging" the gap.
link Alois
Hahaha! What do you think? I've been really sharpening my joke skills these past two years!
link Gatekeeper
Greetings, Commander! Nothing to report!
link Gatekeeper
No one has tried to breach these gates yet...
link Gatekeeper
But as we head deeper into enemy territory, there's no telling how long that might hold true.
link Gatekeeper
If our enemy shows up, I swear they won't get past me! At least...I hope.
link Arval
You must harness your emotions and continue working toward our goal.
link Arval
This sorrow and regret will undoubtedly make you stronger.
link Arval
That is how humans work, at least as far as I'm aware.
link Arval
Hm... What must we do to attain victory over such a fierce opponent?
link Arval
I speak of your next goal. I wish to be of as much use to you as I can, seeing as we're partners in destiny.
link Arval
Strength alone will be insufficient. We must be clever as well.
link Fleche
Randolph...
link Monica
You should do something to distract yourself, Fleche.
link Monica
Maybe you could do some sword practice at the training grounds... Oh, I could go with you if you need a partner.
link Fleche
My brother is dead! How could I think about training right now?!
link Monica
I... I don't know.
link Monica
But you'll need to get stronger if you want to survive. Or if you want revenge.
link Monica
Isn't that why you're still here?
link Fleche
Yes... You're right.
link Randolph
I was able to fulfill my duty to Her Majesty thanks to you.
link Fleche
It's true! We wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything with just the two of us. Isn't that right, Randolph?
link Randolph
Exactly. I'm blessed to have such great allies. Now I can make sure that Mom has an easy life.
link Randolph
We've been through so much. But I'm glad we worked as hard as we did, Fleche!
link Ignatz
If our battles continue to go smoothly, then we'll be able to see Fhirdiad one day.
link Raphael
You daydreaming about exploring the city again? You realize we'd be going for a brawl, right?
link Shez
He's got a point, Ignatz. It'll be a tough fight. You need to stay focused.
link Shez
He's got a point, Ignatz. It'll be a tough fight. You need to stay focused.
link Ignatz
You're right... OK, I'm going to pull myself together and put all my efforts into fighting!
link Raphael
Well, I'll be there to protect you too. You can go for a stroll when we win!
link Shez
But if we win the battle, then you'll be able to take your time and explore.
link Shez
But if we win the battle, then you'll be able to take your time and explore.
link Ignatz
You're right! I'll make sure we win!
link Raphael
You're fighting so you can be a tourist? Well, I guess everyone's got their reasons!
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I cannot reveal my identity for various reasons, but I can tell you I escaped from Faerghus.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I joined a caravan and made the journey here. I know I would've met my end on the battlefield had I stayed in the Kingdom.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
That is a warrior's job, is it not? Like my father. My uncle, as well...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Hah! All I can do is pray for peace through my songs.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
In the northern part of the Kingdom we have Gautier, Fraldarius, Charon, and Daphnel.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
All of those houses descended from the Ten Elites. Their loyalty to House Blaiddyd is, by and large, as solid as iron.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
By comparison, the nobles in this area have low morale, which makes them easy enough to deal with.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
House Dominic is the only exception, even though their territory is already under Empire control. They're also descended from the Ten Elites.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Their lord and his family escaped, but I hear the other nobles have dragged them out and are trying to make them fight.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I always go to Monica when I don't know Her Majesty's whereabouts.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
A lot of people do that, don't they? But hey, somehow she always knows.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I wouldn't mind asking Hubert, but he's even harder to track down. And a little scary, at that.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
And neither Her Majesty nor Monica have any idea where he could be. Isn't that funny?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
When I heard the Empire was going to war, I honestly had no clue what they were thinking.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But now I see that our victories keep pushing us closer toward our goals.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I'm glad we got this far. I'm gonna do all I can, especially to honor my friends who died in battle!
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
We must finish this war with the Kingdom before winter comes.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Its true winter had just ended when we resumed fighting...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But we can expect many more delays in the future.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Wow, the Imperial army is incredible! Everyone is so daring, and they win every battle.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The Alliance army is at a loss with how to proceed, so I came to report and apologize.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Tensions are growing at the border between the Kingdom and the Alliance, which means trading in the north is rotten right now.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
No one wants to get caught up in the fighting, and there are bandits and mercenaries stirring up trouble.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
If I want to take the safest route, then I have to go through Garreg Mach.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But that means passing through the mountains, which is such a major expense.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Heya! I'm Jetz, the number one breadwinner in Jeralt's Mercenaries! Nice to meetcha!
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Do I have a brother? I dunno. I've been alone my whole life.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Why are you lookin' like you've seen a ghost?! Was it something I said?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I used to be with Jeralt's Mercenaries. But then our captain died, remember?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I didn't think they had much of a future after that, so I got hired here.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Hey, don't you think our camp has an unusual number of cats and dogs running around?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Do you think they're... Nah, that can't be it. Never mind.
