<<EMPTY NAME>>: I still remember.
Metodey: There's no excuse for it.
Rufus: The Southern Church...

Byleth: Lord Lonato...
Arval: I have no doubt we will be of great service to you.

<<EMPTY NAME>>: Keep up the good work!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I gotta head back soon.
Kostas: It feels like the war has truly begun.

link Dimitri
Forgive me, but do you have a moment?
link Dimitri
Moving forward, I expect our army will continue to advance as we establish more bases such as this one.
link Dimitri
Whenever a large number of people live together for a stretch of time, various problems are bound to occur.
link Dimitri
You may be inconvenienced as well. Please inform me right away if anything comes up.
link Dimitri
I had some new facilities established in preparation for the coming battle.
link Dimitri
I am most certain they will be of great use to you. I bid you to take a look while we have the time.
link Shez
Got it, thanks. I'll let you know straight away.
link Shez
Got it, thanks. I'll let you know straight away.
link Dimitri
Please do. As this army's leader, my aim is to respond as best I can to any potential concerns.
link Dimitri
The Kingdom army is a coalition of soldiers from our various lords. We are a congregation of births and ideologies.
link Dimitri
Though I hope everyone will understand and compromise with their peers...I suspect that will not always be the case.
link Shez
Inconvenient? If anything, it's a little too cozy around here. You got good food, warmer weather, the works.

Hah, perhaps so. Just please do not tell me you wish to return home.

Looks like we're making solid progress. I should get ready too.

link Dedue
I suspect you know, but Lord Lonato is Ashe's adoptive father.
link Dedue
So long as Ashe is resolved to fight, we shouldn't interfere.
link Dedue
However, Lonato will likely be a difficult opponent for our friend. Please bear that in mind.
link Dedue
I suspect you know, but Lord Lonato was the late Ashe's adoptive father.
link Dedue
I wonder what Ashe would say to us now if he were still alive.
link Dedue
Though I suppose that is one question we will never have an answer to.
link Felix
Back when I was about 14 or 15, the boar and I went out west to help quell the rebellion.
link Felix
That's when I witnessed the beast inside him. I know exactly what I saw.
link Felix
Tell me, do you think you can imagine the look on his face when he slew the enemy commander?
link Felix
It's not wrong to want revenge. But when I look at him now... It makes my stomach turn.
link Shez
Yeah, I think so. Given how you're talking about it, I'm guessing he smiled or something?
link Shez
Yeah, I think so. Given how you're talking about it, I'm guessing he smiled or something?
link Felix
That's right. I've known him a long time, but I had no idea he was capable of that.
link Felix
I know now that the commander was deeply involved in the Duscur incident.
link Felix
It's not wrong to want revenge. But when I look at him now... It makes my stomach turn.
link Shez
We're talking about Dimitri, right? I have no idea. He's so detached when he strikes down enemies now.
link Shez
We're talking about Dimitri, right? I have no idea. He's so detached when he strikes down enemies now.
link Felix
Then I'll tell you. He smiled. He stood over the enemy commander's miserable corpse and smiled, drunk on his own bloodlust.
link Felix
I know now that the commander was deeply involved in the Duscur incident.
link Felix
It's not wrong to want revenge. But when I look at him now... It makes my stomach turn.
link Ashe
I can't figure out why Lonato would start such a reckless fight.
link Ashe
He might hold a grudge against the church because of my stepbrother, but to go so far as recruiting people from the city into his forces...
link Shez
By stepbrother, you mean Lonato's son, right? What's all this about a grudge against the church?
link Shez
By stepbrother, you mean Lonato's son, right? What's all this about a grudge against the church?
link Ashe
The church found my stepbrother to be involved in the Tragedy of Duscur and executed him.
link Shez
Wait, the church are the ones who killed him? I'd get it if the Kingdom carried out the execution, but the church doing it doesn't make any sense to me.
link Shez
Wait, the church are the ones who killed him? I'd get it if the Kingdom carried out the execution, but the church doing it doesn't make any sense to me.
link Ashe
Faerghus was in turmoil because of King Lambert's assassination, so the church stepped in and judged the perpetrators on its behalf.
link Ashe
But the church gave no further explanation on its decisions. Not to Lonato, nor anyone else in the Kingdom.
link Shez
Sounds like there's more to the story. But anyway, at least I understand the situation with Lord Lonato now.
link Shez
Sounds like there's more to the story. But anyway, at least I understand the situation with Lord Lonato now.
link Shez
Yeah. Whatever the circumstances, dragging civilians into it doesn't make sense.
link Shez
Yeah. Whatever the circumstances, dragging civilians into it doesn't make sense.
link Ashe
The people of the city love Lonato, and I'm sure they wanted to fight for his cause.
link Ashe
But even so, that's no excuse for sending those without any training or experience into battle.
link Sylvain
Now that Lord Lonato has pledged his allegiance to the Empire, it's pretty likely they'll try to help him.
link Sylvain
They can't get a reputation for abandoning those who support them.
link Sylvain
After all, that would be a huge deterrent for anyone who's planning to betray the Kingdom and go over to the Empire.
link Sylvain
So I bet their emperor will make an effort to rescue Gaspard's army.
link Sylvain
It kind of makes me feel like... I don't know. Like the war has truly begun.
link Mercedes
As I understand it, the Southern Church is one of the churches in Adrestia that's part of the Seiros faith.
link Mercedes
They apparently had a doctrinal dispute with the Central Church a long time ago.
link Mercedes
But the old Southern Church and the modern one must be entirely different, right?
link Shez
What do you mean? Aren't they the same organization with the same doctrine?
link Shez
What do you mean? Aren't they the same organization with the same doctrine?
link Mercedes
Hmm, well, the present Southern Church is actually under the Empire's command.
link Mercedes
And their bishop abides by the emperor's dictates as well.
link Mercedes
The bishop's name escapes me, but if I recall, he's the father of one of the students who was in the Black Eagles.
link Mercedes
I wonder if the people in the Empire weren't surprised by all the changes regarding the church.
link Mercedes
I imagine I'd be a little confused myself if something I'd taken as a given was so suddenly rejected.
link Shez
They might be. They're technically part of the church, but as I hear it, they're under the Empire's direct control.
link Shez
They might be. They're technically part of the church, but as I hear it, they're under the Empire's direct control.
link Mercedes
Yes, that's right. Though whether that's a good thing or not, I couldn't tell you.
link Mercedes
I wonder if the people in the Empire weren't surprised by all the changes regarding the church.
link Mercedes
I imagine I'd be a little confused myself if something I'd taken as a given was so suddenly rejected.
link Annette
I think Castle Gaspard's in Rowe territory, which is fairly close to Dominic lands.
link Annette
I've actually met Count Rowe myself. Well, I guess we only spoke a tiny bit.
link Annette
He was always going off on his attendants... Honestly, he didn't make a very good impression on me.
link Annette
If we're fighting Lord Lonato and the Empire's army, then it makes sense we'd have to face Count Rowe next, right?
link Annette
I don't imagine they'd just open their gates if we lay siege to the castle with a large army... Nope, definitely not.
link Ingrid
As we turn our forces to the south, the margrave keeps his eyes on the north.
link Ingrid
He actually has another son, in addition to Sylvain...
link Ingrid
Ah, no, wait. I shouldn't speak about matters pertaining to other houses.
link Ingrid
As we turn our forces to the south, the margrave keeps his eyes on the north.

link Ingrid
Ah, no, wait. I shouldn't speak about matters pertaining to other houses.
link Shez
Now you've got me curious. Sylvain has a brother?
link Shez
Now you've got me curious. Sylvain has a brother?
link Ingrid
Well... Yes. An older brother, named Miklan. I saw him myself when I was very young.
link Ingrid
I never heard particularly good things about him, but then a few years ago, his family disowned him entirely.
link Ingrid
Rumors have spread that he's stooped to thievery and plunders his way through different villages.
link Ingrid
Now, then. We've had intelligence that the enemy will employ a company of skilled mercenaries in the coming battle.
link Ingrid
We would be well-served to prepare for all manners of ferocity.
link Shez
I'm not gonna ask if you don't want to say anything else. We can just drop it.
link Shez
I'm not gonna ask if you don't want to say anything else. We can just drop it.
link Ingrid
Yes, let's. My apologies for bringing up such difficult matters.

link Rodrigue
I know Lord Lonato. He served Rufus for a time, you see.
link Rodrigue
And I heard that Castle Gaspard was granted to him on the recommendation of the grand duke.
link Rodrigue
However, the two of them clashed quite frequently, so maybe it was simply a way to rid himself of a bothersome man.
link Rodrigue
The last time I saw Lord Lonato was at... Lambert's funeral, I believe.
link Rodrigue
I can scarcely believe that this is how we will meet again. It pains my heart.
link Seteth
The archbishop is both moved and deeply grateful that the Kingdom has accepted us.
link Seteth
In her view, it would be lamentable if we met your noble deeds with our own failure to cooperate.
link Seteth
Bearing that in mind, we dispatched a portion of the Knights of Seiros to rush to your aid.
link Seteth
The Knights of Seiros are the finest in the land. They are every bit as equal to the king's army. I have no doubt we will be of great service to you.
link Shez
I get the reason, but are you gonna fight too? You're not a knight, just the archbishop's assistant.
link Shez
I get the reason, but are you gonna fight too? You're not a knight, just the archbishop's assistant.
link Seteth
And as such, it is my responsibility to stand at the vanguard and oversee the battle in Lady Rhea's stead.
link Seteth
The Knights of Seiros are the finest in the land. They are every bit as equal to the king's army. I have no doubt we will be of great service to you.
link Shez
That's the only reason you're here? It's got nothing to do with the fact that we're fighting Lonato?
link Shez
That's the only reason you're here? It's got nothing to do with the fact that we're fighting Lonato?
link Seteth
Of course, as a member of the church, I should like to settle our relationship with him once and for all.
link Seteth
The Knights of Seiros are the finest in the land. They are every bit as equal to the king's army. I have no doubt we will be of great service to you.
link Flayn
I shall be joining the Kingdom army in this fight as well.
link Flayn
Of course, I did not just up and come here. I secured Lady Rhea's permission first.
link Shez
Huh. That must mean you can fight at least a little, yeah? Glad to have you.
link Shez
Huh. That must mean you can fight at least a little, yeah? Glad to have you.
link Flayn
Goodness! "A little"? I will have you know that despite my appearance, I am quite accustomed to the battlefield.
link Flayn
And on that note, Seteth and I look forward to fighting alongside you.
link Shez
But you're not a member of the Knights of Seiros. Can you actually fight?
link Shez
But you're not a member of the Knights of Seiros. Can you actually fight?

Goodness! I will have you know that despite my appearance, I am quite accustomed to the battlefield. Though I admit healing is more my forte.

link Catherine
Ah, it's you. I appreciate the assist back in Ailell.
link Catherine
The name's Catherine, or Thunder Catherine, if you will. I'm one of the Knights of Seiros. Good to be fighting by your side.
link Catherine
Lady Rhea gave us direct instructions to come help the Kingdom army.
link Catherine
The church is grateful the Kingdom took them in, despite the danger. We'll make sure we repay you the best way we know how—on the battlefield.
link Shez
Name's [HERO_MF]. I'm serving as a commander in the Kingdom's private army for the time being.

link Shez

As they say, seeing is believing. And you'll have a front row seat now that we're fighting together. It'll be better than any rumors, I'll tell you that.

link Hapi
I guess I'm with you people now. Ah well, beats dying out there somewhere.
link Hapi
Still, to think that I've ended up in the Kingdom after all.
link Hapi
It'd be a real hassle to have to explain all that stuff though. Sure hope I don't run into her.
link Shez
Her?
link Shez
Her?
link Hapi
It's a long story. Too long. Don't worry about it.
link Shez
...
link Shez
...
link Hapi
...
link Hapi
Not loving this "you staring at me in silence" thing.
link Petra
As long as I am having a way to survive, I choose that. Always.
link Petra
But I am feeling relief not to be fighting the Empire again soon. I can be giving my full strength now.
link Petra
Right now, I am only focusing on the fight in front of me. I cannot be affording to worry about who I am facing.
link Shez
It's true we're going to fight Lonato, who's part of the Kingdom, but...unfortunately, I think the Imperial army is going to come lend their support.
link Shez
It's true we're going to fight Lonato, who's part of the Kingdom, but...unfortunately, I think the Imperial army is going to come lend their support.

Is that so? I will be having to steel my heart.
link Petra
Right now, I am only focusing on the fight in front of me. I cannot be affording to worry about who I am facing.
link Shez
Yeah, what a relief. I'd imagine you're none too enthusiastic about fighting former allies.
link Shez
Yeah, what a relief. I'd imagine you're none too enthusiastic about fighting former allies.
link Petra
Yes. However, it is being inevitable. I will be having to steel my heart.
link Petra
Right now, I am only focusing on the fight in front of me. I cannot be affording to worry about who I am facing.
link Cyril
I came here with Seteth, but I gotta head back to Camulus soon.
link Cyril
I'm just here so I can tell Lady Rhea about how things are going on the front.
link Cyril
I'll probably end up coming back from time to time on business for her.
link Cyril
A lot of the church people left in Camulus are elderly, so it's up to me to step up and do my best!
link Anna
Welcome to my shop! Er, or what's going to be my shop if I ever open the darn thing.
link Anna
Anyway, hiya! I'm Anna, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
link Anna
If I find anything good out there I'll add it to my stock, so keep checking back.
link Gatekeeper
Keep up the good work, Commander! Nothing to report today!
link Gatekeeper
Do you remember me? I used to guard the gate back at Garreg Mach.
link Shez
Sure, I remember you. But, uh...why are you here?
link Shez
Sure, I remember you. But, uh...why are you here?
link Gatekeeper
I came here to protect the members of the church. Oh, and also because you Kingdom folks saved me back in Ailell.
link Gatekeeper
I have family back in Adrestia, so if I'm being totally honest, I've got mixed feelings about all this.
link Gatekeeper
But it's a gatekeeper's duty to protect his charges! I swear to you, I'll lay down my life to defend these gates!
link Arval
This will be your first time in Magdred. I hear a dense fog blankets the land there. I wonder if you'll be able to manage.
link Shez
What do you mean?
link Shez
What do you mean?
link Arval
Don't try to hide it. We both know you can be... directionally challenged sometimes.
link Arval
Just spare me the grief of having to watch you accidentally wander into enemy encampments.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Never in a million years did I imagine I'd be fighting as a commander for Faerghus.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Even now when I see their knights' flag fluttering in the air, this indescribable feeling washes over me.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
You don't need to keep an eye on me. I may detest Faerghus, but I'm not actively hostile to them now.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I've fought alongside my commanding officer for a long time, but this'll be my first time going to Castle Gaspard.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Apparently, the lord of Castle Gaspard is real beloved by his people.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I heard that everyone volunteered to enlist the moment they heard that Lord Lonato himself was going to fight.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
His soldiers' morale must be sky high too. Eh, that kind of fervor does nothing for me.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
You familiar with Magdred Way? It's a highway that connects the western forest and Garreg Mach.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Castle Gaspard sits on that road. Lonato's the castellan there.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Sometimes a dense fog blankets the road, but it ought to be OK at this time of year. Probably.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
His Majesty's got so much to do, but he still comes to train with us every day.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Me and the other folks in my unit always try to take him on, but we're nowhere near a match for him.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
That said, I do think our teamwork's improved because of it. I'm sure we'll best any opponents who are on our level.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
If there's one thing I know, it's that trusting in your allies' strength and working together is key in whatever you do.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Arianrhod is the seat of House Rowe's power. It is renowned as one of the most impenetrable fortresses in all of Fódlan.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
If we are able to defeat Lord Lonato in Magdred, and then carry that momentum west to fell Arianrhod...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
We should be able to gain the advantage, even in the face of the Imperial army's superior forces.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Recently, several of the church's scholars headed to Galatea territory, I believe at the invitation of the count.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Galatea's evidently an impoverished place, devoid of anything but wild wastes. I guess they're working on some kind of reclamation project.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
In any event, I'm glad that both us and them are gonna be helping the people of the Kingdom.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Have you heard rumor of the Red Morn of Itha? I don't know how much of this is true, but...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
One of the Grand Duke of Itha's surviving retainers plotted to assassinate the king out of vengeance.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Yet on the morning the dark deed was to take place, the retainer's headless corpse was found laid out in front of Castle Itha.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Sends a chill down your spine, doesn't it? It makes me wonder if the same fate would befall any us if we were to oppose the king.
link ???
We're currently reconsidering our battle formations. Sorry, but you'll have to wait a while longer.
link ???
You can reflect on your previous battles here.
link ???
The past has much to teach us. Come here whenever you wish to ponder your previous actions.
link ???
Hand over your weapons and I'll forge 'em good.
link ???
Remember, the only thing standing between you and death is the weapon in your hand.
link ???
We collect any unneeded armaments and resources here.
link ???
Supplies are the lifeblood of any army. Nothing can go to waste!
link ???
Ah, welcome. I can recommend battalions to you.
link ???
I'm certain having experienced troops on your side will be of great help.
