Constance: What will he do next...
Viscount Albany: Isn't it freezing?
Pittacus: I think it's the best way.
: The capital...
Shez: I don't get all that complicated stuff.
Chilon: What does it mean...
Adrienne: We need to band together.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: The Imperial army isn't doing very well.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: He's really grown.
Viscount Fenja: The Central Church...
Miklan: Their defenses are formidable.
Charon General: What's the current king like?
Tomas: Listen to this!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: The cold is wearing on me.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: Ahahaha!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: They're not gonna listen.
Metodey: I'm following orders.
Dorothea: We can't avoid them any longer.
Sylvain: We can't avoid them any longer.
Viscount Hymir: Maybe we should leave.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I'll be even more famous!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I know it's inevitable...
???: I've got you covered!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: We're knee-deep in enemy territory.
???: We're making history.
Merchant: He wouldn't stand for it.
???: The Kingdom faces danger from all sides.
???: That's just how humans are.
???: ACHOO!
???: I guess our rules are different.
???: It's difficult to do business in the Kingdom.

Tomas: You have to hear this!
Dominic General: Pretty cruel, if you ask me.
Dominic General: I want to finish this quickly.
???: Our captain died.
link Claude
Hey, [HERO_MF]. I'm hoping that if we pull off this next battle it'll end the war, but...
link Claude
I don't know. Do you think it's going to work?
link Shez
But I do think this will bring us closer to the end.
link Shez
But I do think this will bring us closer to the end.
link Claude
I do too. It's a necessary step for our goal.
link Claude
In any case, we need to actually win first. Let's hurry and prepare for battle.
link Shez
If Dimitri figures out that cutting off the church will end the war, he'll probably go for it.
link Shez
If Dimitri figures out that cutting off the church will end the war, he'll probably go for it.
link Shez
And then the Empire won't be able to justify fighting anymore. Seems to me like the war would end then.
link Shez
And then the Empire won't be able to justify fighting anymore. Seems to me like the war would end then.
link Claude
Right. From our point of view, there'd be no reason to continue the war.
link Claude
But the Kingdom and the Empire have their own issues and agendas.
link Claude
Not to mention that I sincerely doubt the church is just going to roll over. This might be harder than I thought.
link Shez
Well, we're basically using intimidation tactics, and I don't think Dimitri's the kind of guy who'd fall for something like that.
link Shez
Well, we're basically using intimidation tactics, and I don't think Dimitri's the kind of guy who'd fall for something like that.
link Shez
And if the Empire's goal is to unite Fódlan, then they're not gonna stop even if they seemingly have no reason to fight.
link Shez
And if the Empire's goal is to unite Fódlan, then they're not gonna stop even if they seemingly have no reason to fight.
link Claude
You've got a point. And the church won't go down without a struggle, so...yeah. I guess we're stuck with this war for a while yet.
link Lorenz
So Claude's plan is to snuff out the Central Church. They were the cause of this war, and taking them out would effectively end it.
link Lorenz
And then he will create a world where everyone can live as they please, without the need to sacrifice others.
link Lorenz
Who knows what he'll come up with next.
link Lorenz
If that was his aim all along, he should have said so sooner!
link Lorenz
We could have taken more initiative in the war if we had known what he wanted from the start.
link Shez
If you've got issues with Claude, then feel free to let 'em out. I don't mind.
link Shez
If you've got issues with Claude, then feel free to let 'em out. I don't mind.
link Lorenz
Issues? Of course I have issues! Has he lost his mind?
link Shez
It sounds like you've got a problem with all that, but I think Claude's got the right idea.
link Shez
It sounds like you've got a problem with all that, but I think Claude's got the right idea.
link Lorenz
Of course he does! Not only is it the right idea, but his vision for the future is finally taking shape.
link Hilda
Is it just me or is this place freezing? Like, seriously, my fingers might fall off.
link Hilda
I'm not a big fan of heat, but the cold is even worse.
link Hilda
Ugh, can we just end this war already so we can go back to Leicester?!
link Lysithea
The longer this war drags on, the more exhausted everyone will become. Even if we win.
link Lysithea
I concur that Claude's plan is the best and fastest way to end this war.
link Lysithea
That's why we have to win. After all, I can't afford to spend all my time on the battlefield.
link Ignatz
We're finally heading to Fhirdiad!
link Ignatz
I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes.
link Ignatz
I'm sorry. I've always dreamed of going there, so maybe I got a little carried away.
link Ignatz
But we'll certainly face some formidable opponents in the capital. We can't afford to let our guard down!
link Shez
Hey, we're in the middle of a war. Wipe that grin off your face.
link Shez
Hey, we're in the middle of a war. Wipe that grin off your face.
link Shez
Seeing you grin like that almost makes me forget we're in the middle of a war.
link Shez
Seeing you grin like that almost makes me forget we're in the middle of a war.
link Raphael
I don't really get all that complicated strategy stuff, but I think we're fighting for a good cause.
link Raphael
We're just trying to end this war quick so people don't have to die anymore, right?
link Shez
That's right.
link Shez
That's right.
link Raphael
Then that's all I needed to know. Now let's go storm the capital with everything we got!
link Shez
Yeah, but that's easier said than done. Even if the Kingdom cuts ties with the church, there's still a lot more that needs to happen before the war's over.
link Shez
Yeah, but that's easier said than done. Even if the Kingdom cuts ties with the church, there's still a lot more that needs to happen before the war's over.
link Raphael
I can't really follow any of that stuff, you know. Trying to wrap my head around it just makes me hungry.
link Marianne
A world where everyone can be themselves... But what does it mean to be myself?
link Marianne
What about you, [HERO_MF]? What would you do if you could truly be yourself?
link Marianne
I look forward to seeing what everyone will do once we usher in a new era.
link Shez
Hmm. I think I'd just stick with being a mercenary.
link Shez
Hmm. I think I'd just stick with being a mercenary.
link Marianne
Yes, that does feel like you.
link Shez
Hmm. Honestly, I'm not sure.
link Shez
Hmm. Honestly, I'm not sure.
link Shez
But I guess I'd live in a way that's true to my heart.
link Shez
But I guess I'd live in a way that's true to my heart.
link Marianne
Yes... That sounds lovely.
link Leonie
It doesn't matter who's a knight and who's a merc right now. We all need to band together and fight for our cause.
link Leonie
The Kingdom's not just gonna open its doors and let us win.
link Shez
You're telling me. The Kingdom's strong as it is, but the soldiers guarding the capital are the cream of the crop.
link Shez
You're telling me. The Kingdom's strong as it is, but the soldiers guarding the capital are the cream of the crop.
link Leonie
Yep. Lofty ideals won't do us any good if we lose. We need to give this all we've got.
link Shez
Eh, there shouldn't be many troops left in the capital. I'm sure we can win as long as we fight with everything with have.
link Shez
Eh, there shouldn't be many troops left in the capital. I'm sure we can win as long as we fight with everything with have.
link Leonie
The soldiers defending the capital are the best of the best. They'll get the better of us if we let our guard down.
link Holst
I expected the Empire to be doing better on the western front.
link Holst
The emperor planned to cut through the western lords, but the Kingdom's been prepared to defend against any betrayals.
link Holst
So their only recourse has been to use brute force, but they've yet to gain any decisive victories.
link Holst
If the Empire could blast through the front lines, they'd be able to attack the capital with us, but as it stands...
link Holst
No, it's probably for the best that we got here before the Empire.
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 Linhardt
On the subject of unassailable fortresses, one can hardly forget Fódlan's Locket in Leicester.
link Linhardt
Do you know of any others?
link Linhardt
In any case, Fhirdiad's defenses are also quite formidable.
link Linhardt
Walls encircle not only the palace, but the entire city as well. And they have an exorbitant amount of forts.
link Shez
Fort Merceus in the Empire, I guess?
link Shez
Fort Merceus in the Empire, I guess?
link Linhardt
Ah yes, that would be the one people from Leicester think of first. But if you live in the west, Arianrhod might be more famous.
link Shez
I guess there's Arianrhod in the Kingdom.
link Shez
I guess there's Arianrhod in the Kingdom.
link Linhardt
I wasn't expecting you to say that. I thought people from Leicester would think of Fort Merceus first.
link Balthus
It sounds like the previous king of Faerghus was a real great guy.
link Balthus
I wonder what the current king is like. He's still pretty young, right?
link Shez
I've only talked with him a bit, but he struck me as a pretty serious guy.
link Shez
I've only talked with him a bit, but he struck me as a pretty serious guy.
link Balthus
Well yeah, I'd be worried if a king wasn't serious! Though come to think of it, I guess our king doesn't really fit that bill.
link Shez
I don't know much about him except that he's unbelievably strong.
link Shez
I don't know much about him except that he's unbelievably strong.
link Balthus
A king with superhuman strength, huh? Now that's interesting. Makes me wanna see which of us would come out on top.

Oh no, please don't make me disappear! I don't want to dieee!
link Bernadetta
Oh no, please don't make me disappear! I don't want to dieee!
Tomas: It's all my fault.
link Petra
I am having a hard time staying in the Kingdom so long. The cold is wearing me. Er, wearing me down.
link Petra
Are the people here being used to this? Brigid is the opposite. It is very hot.
link Shez
I'm sure they've gotten used to it. Otherwise they never would've settled here.
link Shez
I'm sure they've gotten used to it. Otherwise they never would've settled here.
link Petra
I was hearing that the Kingdom was made when they went against the Empire. I am thinking they did not have a choice.
link Shez
People born in cold climates can't stand hot places, just like those from hot areas can't bear the cold.
link Shez
People born in cold climates can't stand hot places, just like those from hot areas can't bear the cold.
link Petra
Is it really so simple? I do not have understanding.
link Constance
Ahahaha! I have finally returned to my old self!
link Constance
Now my name shall be known throughout all of Leicester as well!
link Constance
I swear, one day I shall restore House Nuvelle to its former glory!
link Shez
Did you say, "as well"? So you're already known in other places?
link Shez
Did you say, "as well"? So you're already known in other places?
link Constance
Well, that is certainly my intention! And I will thank you not to split hairs!
link Shez
Good luck with that. How are you gonna make a name for yourself?
link Shez
Good luck with that. How are you gonna make a name for yourself?
link Constance
Through magic, of course! My aim is to master the magical arts.
link Hapi
You really think the people from the Kingdom are gonna listen to us while we're attacking them?
link Hapi
I mean, even if we win, it's gonna feel pretty lousy.
link Hapi
I know Claudester's doing his best, but still. They're definitely gonna hold a grudge against us.
link Yuri
I must say, it's rather vicious of Claude to bring a former Kingdom knight on our assault of the capital.
link Yuri
Though it's honestly not the worst idea. It'll probably make it harder for our opponents to fight us.
link Yuri
I suppose it isn't my place to say anything as long as Ashe is fine with it.
link Shez
That's just how war is. Nothing else matters so long as we win.
link Shez
That's just how war is. Nothing else matters so long as we win.
link Yuri
Hmm, maybe so. I'm sure he understood the consequences when he surrendered as well.
link Shez
It's not like Claude did this all on purpose. Things just turned out this way.
link Shez
It's not like Claude did this all on purpose. Things just turned out this way.
link Yuri
Intentions aside, Claude is the type to use every means at his disposal.
link Yuri
When Garreg Mach fell, most of the refugees fled to Fraldarius territory and around the capital.
link Yuri
I doubt Claude wants innocent people caught up in the fighting.
link Yuri
He must be eager to storm Fhirdiad and finish this battle as quickly as possible.
link Yuri
I'd also prefer not to damage the Kingdom too severely. My subordinates and family live here, after all.
link Ashe
Oh, it's you. You know, I've been thinking. I've followed every order since I surrendered and became a member of the Federation army.
link Ashe
I'll never be able to face His Majesty or my friends again, but... I just can't choose death.
link Ashe
I don't think I know what's right and wrong anymore.
link Shez
Sounds like there's a story there. What do you mean you can't choose death?
link Shez
Sounds like there's a story there. What do you mean you can't choose death?
link Ashe
His Majesty ordered me to value my life over loyalty.
link Shez
Yeah, you've managed to stay alive this long. You can't go throwing your life away now.
link Shez
Yeah, you've managed to stay alive this long. You can't go throwing your life away now.
link Ashe
...
link Byleth
Jeralt always tried to steer us away from jobs involving the church.
link Byleth
But we're not gonna be able to avoid them any longer if this whole war's about them.
link Shez
Yeah, well, we aren't fighting for the sake of it. Everyone has goals they're working towards.
link Shez
Yeah, well, we aren't fighting for the sake of it. Everyone has goals they're working towards.
link Byleth
Right. I suppose I have a lot to learn now that I'm a part of the Federation army.
link Shez
I don't really get why Jeralt would do that, but there's no reason to worry.
link Shez
I don't really get why Jeralt would do that, but there's no reason to worry.
link Shez
Just do what you've always done. Swing your sword and get paid.
link Shez
Just do what you've always done. Swing your sword and get paid.
link Byleth
Maybe you're right. Thanks, I'll give it some thought.
link Byleth
Jeralt always tried to steer us away from jobs involving the church.

link Byleth
Maybe you're right. Thanks, I'll give it some thought.
link Jeralt
We're marching on Fhirdiad, huh? That's a little too close for comfort.
link Jeralt
Maybe we should just cut our losses and go.
link Shez
You're leaving?
link Shez
You're leaving?
link Jeralt
Oh! I didn't see you there. Don't mind me, I was just rambling to myself.
link Jeralt
I said I couldn't wait to cut the Kingdom down to size! You know, when we beat them.
link Alois
I highly doubt we'll see Lady Rhea and Seteth in battle. The Kingdom wouldn't allow them on the front lines.
link Alois
But don't be surprised if the Knights of Seiros are among the soldiers defending the capital.
link Alois
I'd like to avoid killing my former comrades if I can... though it may be inevitable.
link Judith
His Majesty's really grown. I couldn't be prouder if he were my own son.
link Judith
If I live to see the end of this war...
link Judith
I want to take him to see Tiana. She'll be amazed.
link Nader
When the king of Almyra was a young lad, we used to sneak into Fódlan together.
link Nader
All we did was travel around and have a good time, though. That's how I picked up the language.
link Nader
But we never traveled farther than Leicester, so this is my first trip to the Kingdom too.
link Nader
I'll be even more famous once I regale everyone with tales of my rampage across the Kingdom capital!
link ???
Fhirdiad's practically a stone's throw away once you're out of Fraldarius territory.
link ???
You're gonna be facing off with the king of Faerghus soon. Well, not to worry! Anna's got you covered!
link ???
Are you ready for the battle? Let me know if there's anything you need!
link Gatekeeper
Greetings, Commander! Nothing to report!
link Gatekeeper
We're knee-deep in enemy territory now. They could attack us at any time.
link Gatekeeper
But no one's getting past this gate so long as I'm here! I hope.
link Arval
Crossing the ocean in an enormous boat will certainly be a novel experience for you.
link Arval
I swear, this army is unparalleled when it comes to cooking up harebrained schemes.
link Arval
But I shall hold my tongue so long as they put food on your table.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
There was a rebellion in the capital about two years ago, but this might be the first time its been attacked by foes from the outside.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Whenever Sreng armies have attempted to raid the Kingdom, House Gautier and House Fraldarius have always fended them off.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
It's not an exaggeration to say we're already making history.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Wouldn't it be advantageous to tell those in the Sreng region that Margrave Gautier is dead?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
They would certainly be eager to attack the Kingdom then.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I tried to persuade His Majesty to let them know, but he wouldn't stand for it. He said it would cause too many casualties.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The Kingdom faces danger from all sides— the Federation from the east, Sreng from the north, and the Empire from the south.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
And I've heard rumors that the Western Church has been acting suspicious as of late.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
They've always been at odds with the Central Church, so I wouldn't be surprised if they joined in and attacked from the west.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
No matter how strong the Kingdom's knights are, they can't possibly take on that many enemies at once.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I hope the archbishop isn't in the capital. No one seems to know where she is, so that's got me worried.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I've got no particular attachment to the Central Church, but I'd like to avoid any divine punishment.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Believing in the Central Church is practically ingrained in us. You can't shake something like that off overnight. That's just how humans are.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
ACHOO! Sorry, I can't seem to shake this cold.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Ugh, can't we just get this over with and go back to Leicester already?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Once we claim victory, the spoils go to whoever snatches 'em first!
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
At least that's how we've always done it. But Nader said we can't do that this time.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Well, I guess since we're tagging along with your army, we have to follow your rules.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
It's getting tougher by the day to trade in the northern and western parts of the Kingdom.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The only safe way to travel is to follow an army.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Bandits are running wild, and hiring mercenaries to protect us would negate all our profits.
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.
