Gustave: Ugh.
Constance: If I were in your position...
Viscount Albany: I'm more worried about the bandits.
Pittacus: I'll make them suffer!
: It gives me pause.
Shez: They're as strong as tree trunks!
Chilon: What's gotten into him?
Adrienne: Those villains!
<<EMPTY NAME>>: He is a paragon of leadership.
Viscount Fenja: What a mess.
Miklan: I am utterly exhausted.
Charon General: We gotta help them.
Tomas: Where are we?
<<EMPTY NAME>>: There will be more fighting in the city.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I'm misty-eyed with gratitude.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Dominic General: It won't work again.
Metodey: We have to save them.
Dorothea: Our next foes...
Sylvain: Our next foes...
Viscount Hymir: Keep your guard up.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: He's gone up in my estimation.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: I didn't expect this.
???: This is serious.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: What a great responsibility.

Merchant: Phlegethon territory...

link Claude
I'm sure Dimitri's equally astounded by this interruption.
link Claude
If it had only happened a few days later, we could've been well on our way to ending the war by now.
link Claude
It's entirely possible that whoever's doing this doesn't want that to happen.
link Shez
It's too big a coincidence. All of this happened right when we were about to gain control of the capital.

It's too big a coincidence. All of this happened right when we were about to gain control of the capital.
link Claude
Exactly. These people were likely keeping a close eye on everything, waiting for the most opportune moment to strike.
link Claude
But if those who slither in the dark are behind this, then their goal is to plunge all of Fódlan into chaos.
link Claude
Either that or they plan to conquer it while we're all exhausted from the war.
link Shez
Then we can't afford to be fighting a war right now. Stopping them needs to be our top priority.

Then we can't afford to be fighting a war right now. Stopping them needs to be our top priority.

The issue is we have no proof. A few educated guesses won't convince the others to stop fighting.

We need definitive evidence. I only hope we'll find some here.

I can't fathom why anyone would want this war to continue.

link Lorenz
[HERO_MF], I must apologize for interrogating you the way I did.
link Lorenz
[HERO_MF]... I must apologize for interrogating you the way I did.
link Lorenz
In my defense, you do possess the same power as those who slither in the dark. It is hard to believe you would have no relation to them.
link Lorenz
Are you not curious to find out if you do?
link Lorenz
I would be desperate to discover my true identity if I were in your position.
link Lorenz
But no matter. Nothing will change the fact that you are our ally.
link Shez
I'd be lying if I said it didn't bug me. We're talking about my identity, after all.

link Hilda
Claude says that Tomas's group is involved in these riots, but...
link Hilda
Most of the people causing trouble are just regular old bandits, right?
link Hilda
I'm more worried about the fact that there were so many bandits lurking around Leicester in the first place.
link Shez
I'm sure a lot of people haven't been able to find decent work recently.
link Shez
I'm sure a lot of people haven't been able to find decent work recently.
link Hilda
Yeah. Maybe more people have turned to stealing because they lost their homes and fields in the war.
link Hilda
I think we'll see a lot fewer of these incidents once we make it easier for people to find work.
link Shez
There are always bandits prowling around wherever you go. You just don't notice them.

If that's the case, then we have a major problem on our hands. It makes me shudder to even think of it.

link Lysithea
House Ordelia was finally starting to make a comeback after our alliance with the Empire, and now this.
link Lysithea
If those who slither in the dark are behind this, I swear I will make them suffer!
link Shez
Let's just take a deep breath, Lysithea. We need to remain calm in times like these.
link Shez
Let's just take a deep breath, Lysithea. We need to remain calm in times like these.
link Lysithea
What? How can you of all people remain calm? You could be related to them, you know.
link Lysithea
In any event, we need to find out who's pulling the strings. Once we capture their leader, we'll make them confess.
link Shez
I'm sorry. I might be connected to them somehow.
link Shez
I'm sorry. I might be connected to them somehow.
link Lysithea
Why are you apologizing? Even if that's the case, it's not like you're helping them.
link Lysithea
In any event, we need to find out who's pulling the strings. Once we capture their leader, we'll make them confess.
link Ignatz
The bandits have spread as far as Hrym territory, right?
link Ignatz
There's never been rioting on both sides of Airmid River simultaneously.
link Ignatz
Oh, but if I recall, House Ordelia and House Hrym have suffered through a disturbance like this once before.
link Ignatz
At the time, Viscount Hrym staged an uprising, and Count Ordelia joined her.
link Ignatz
I can't imagine that bears any relation to our current crisis, but it does give me pause.
link Raphael
After getting off the ship and walking all this way, my legs are as strong as tree trunks! Like, really big ones!
link Raphael
I gotta start workin' my upper body to keep everything balanced.
link Shez
There's no point if you don't have anyone to show off to. We're just fighting a bunch of bandits.
link Shez
There's no point if you don't have anyone to show off to. We're just fighting a bunch of bandits.
link Raphael
Don't be silly. I can't fight at my full strength if my muscles aren't even!

My chest and arms are gonna be crying in pain if I leave them out.
link Shez
You shouldn't waste time working out. There are people who need our help.

link Marianne
My adoptive father was waiting for me when we arrived at the port in Edmund territory.
link Marianne
He even told me to return safely. What has gotten into him?
link Shez
Beats me. I'll never understand how parents think.
link Shez
Beats me. I'll never understand how parents think.

Parents... Does that mean he truly thinks of me as his daughter?
link Shez
He must, or else he wouldn't be worried. And I'm sure he knows how hard you've been fighting.
link Shez
He must, or else he wouldn't be worried. And I'm sure he knows how hard you've been fighting.
link Marianne
I hope we can speak more next time. Though I'm not sure what we'd even talk about.

Isn't it pretty natural for a parent to worry about their child? Especially if she's constantly rushing off to battle.

link Leonie
If someone's starting these riots as part of some bigger scheme, I swear I'll kill them myself.
link Leonie
Only the most sadistic villain would drag innocent villagers into this.
link Leonie
I'm gonna make them suffer, I don't care about their sorry excuses... Oh, wait, you probably want a chance to question them, don't you?
link Shez
Yeah, if they're who we think they are, then I've got a few questions I wanna ask them.
link Shez
Yeah, if they're who we think they are, then I've got a few questions I wanna ask them.
link Leonie
Got it. I promise I'll track 'em down.

Watch out, villains! I'm gonna take you down!
link Shez
Don't worry about me. You can do whatever you want when you find them.
link Shez
Don't worry about me. You can do whatever you want when you find them.

You sure? Then I'm gonna do just that!

Watch out, villains! I'm gonna take you down!
link Holst
We almost had the Kingdom cornered, only to have to retreat at the last second.
link Holst
A mediocre king would never have the courage to make such a quick decision.
link Holst
His Majesty is truly a paragon of leadership. I am honored to serve him.
link Shamir
What a mess. At least I know this isn't the church's doing.
link Shamir
The Knights of Seiros would usually be the ones fighting with everything they've got in this kind of situation.
link Shamir
The Federation, on the other hand, accepts full responsibility for protecting each and every one of their citizens.
link Shamir
Now that I've cut ties with the Central Church, I can really appreciate them taking on such a burden. I'm grateful for it.
link Linhardt
I am so utterly exhausted.
link Linhardt
Not only did we have to travel from the Kingdom, but we fought numerous battles along the way.
link Linhardt
And now the war is going to drag on because of this. All one can do is sigh, really.
link Shez
You could ask Claude to give you a different position.
link Shez
You could ask Claude to give you a different position.
link Linhardt
He'd never move a former enemy like me to a cushy position out of the way. It'd be pointless to ask.
link Shez
You could ask Claude for a break.
link Shez
You could ask Claude for a break.
link Linhardt
I wouldn't want to risk that. I'm from the Empire. He might decide it's time for me to rest permanently.

link Balthus
Ordelia territory's taking a beating. We gotta get out there and help them.
link Shez
You're more worked up than usual. Do you have some connection to Ordelia territory?
link Shez
You're more worked up than usual. Do you have some connection to Ordelia territory?
link Balthus
Yeah. Count Ordelia stuck his neck out for me once.
link Balthus
It's not an easy debt to repay. I only hope I'll make it up to him one day.
link Shez
You're right. We need to get a move on.
link Shez
You're right. We need to get a move on.
link Balthus
You're all fired up too, huh? Good. We can tear it up together then.
link Bernadetta
Doesn't all this moving around make you lose track of where we are, [HERO_MF]?
link Bernadetta

I have no clue where I am. The Alliance? No, wait, it's the Federation now...right?

Yeah, I get turned around too. Sometimes I even go in the complete opposite direction.

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Alliance or Federation, doesn't matter. They're both Leicester. Anyway, we're on the northern side of the Airmid River now.
link Shez
Alliance or Federation, doesn't matter. They're both Leicester. Anyway, we're on the northern side of the Airmid River now.

link Petra
I am estimating there will be more fighting in the city. Not enemy soldiers, but bandits and rioters.
link Petra
I am having a better time fighting in this situation. What about you?
link Shez
I'm better in those kinds of battles too. It's definitely easier than fighting in a wide open field.
link Shez
I'm better in those kinds of battles too. It's definitely easier than fighting in a wide open field.
link Petra
So we are the same? Then we will be finishing the fight promptly.
link Shez
To be honest, those kind of battles are not my strong suit. It's much easier fighting in a wide open field.
link Shez
To be honest, those kind of battles are not my strong suit. It's much easier fighting in a wide open field.
link Petra
I am not in agreement. It surprises me we are not seeing eye to eye.
link Constance
When the city of Nuvelle fell, it was overrun by bandits and looters.
link Constance
At the time, the Imperial army had been so focused on fighting forces from Dagda that the city's guards were practically non-existent.
link Constance
But now... We've mobilized our forces and prioritized aiding the people, rather than the war itself. I feel misty-eyed with gratitude.
link Shez
That just goes to show we're nothing like the Empire. I think it's a good thing.
link Shez
That just goes to show we're nothing like the Empire. I think it's a good thing.
link Constance
Yes, that is exactly right. This is what the new Federation stands for.
link Shez
I had no idea Nuvelle had gone through something so awful. We can't let it happen again.
link Shez
I had no idea Nuvelle had gone through something so awful. We can't let it happen again.
link Constance
You are exactly right. But I doubt we will have to worry about that, given our actions here.
link Hapi
I've kinda got a bad feeling about this. How do I describe it...
link Hapi
It's like I sense...darkness? Or something like that. It's hard to put into words.
link Shez
Darkness? You mean like...from me, for example?
link Shez
Darkness? You mean like...from me, for example?
link Hapi
Maybe. I might.
link Hapi
Which probably means my bad feeling isn't all that reliable.
link Shez
To be honest, I can sense it too. Whatever it is.
link Shez
To be honest, I can sense it too. Whatever it is.
link Hapi
Seriously?
link Hapi
Huh. But you know, I'm probably just imagining things.
link Yuri
I imagine that after our trick with the ships, Faerghus will increase their defenses on their eastern coast.
link Yuri
That same approach won't work again. We'll have to come up with some other method of attack.
link Yuri
Though quelling the riots in Ordelia territory is our first priority.
link Yuri
Who would've expected we'd be interrupted when we were so close to finishing the fight?
link Ashe
I'm worried about everyone in Ordelia. We need to get out there and help them as soon as we can.
link Ashe
I know I don't deserve the title anymore...
link Ashe
But a knight of Faerghus would never be so quick to abandon the townsfolk.
link Byleth
So we're fighting bandits and scoundrels next?
link Byleth
It doesn't matter who we're up against. I'll cut them down all the same.
link Shez
Oh, um... Yeah! The Ashen Demon is as determined as ever, I see.
link Shez
Oh, um... Yeah! The Ashen Demon is as determined as ever, I see.
link Byleth
The name has nothing to do with it. We just have to join together and fight with all we have.
link Shez
You got that right. I'm not gonna let you outdo me either. Just watch, I'll do a better job than you.
link Shez
You got that right. I'm not gonna let you outdo me either. Just watch, I'll do a better job than you.
link Byleth
Let's do this together, instead. Things will work out better for the both of us that way.

link Jeralt
I've slain more bandits than I care to count, but this is a whole 'nother level.
link Jeralt
They don't usually work in groups. Most do much better working on their own.
link Jeralt
So if they're cooperating with each other, it must mean someone else is pulling the strings.
link Jeralt
We don't know what we'll uncover, so keep your guard up.
link Judith
I thought Nader was gonna come with us, but he stayed on the ship and went back to Almyra.
link Judith
Apparently he convinced the Almyran soldiers not to pillage anything while we were in the Kingdom.
link Judith
He may seem unreasonable at first, but he's actually a good guy. He's really changed my opinion of him.
link Judith
I hope we cross paths again. I never got the chance to thank him.
link Alois
Hmm... I didn't expect this would happen. I hope the people in Ordelia are all right.
link Alois
I quelled many a disturbance just like this back when I was with the knights.
link Alois
And though the place and my title may be different, I still fight for the people!
link ???
This situation's serious. All the rioting makes it impossible for us merchants to go about our business.
link ???
Well, make sure to stock up and do your part to stem the chaos!
link ???
Wait, you think I'm trying to turn this into a business opportunity? Why, I would never! Anyway, want to buy something?
link Gatekeeper
Greetings, Captain! Something to report!
link Gatekeeper
Well, the things to report aren't actually happening around this gate.
link Gatekeeper
Both shores of the Airmid River to the east are apparently crawling with bandits!
link Gatekeeper
Fighting to protect the people... What a great responsibility. I hope I can help somehow.
link Arval
Something slithers among the shadows.
link Arval
And you—or should I say we?—are suspected of being involved.
link Arval
This is an opportune moment to ferret out the truth of the matter. Don't you agree?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Despite his failing health, Count Ordelia has been trying to restore peace in his territory ever since we allied with the Empire.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But all of that's ruined now. I cannot imagine how devastating this must be for him.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Why must we suffer all these disasters?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The former Phlegethon territory has been jointly ruled by other nobles since Acheron's untimely demise.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But none of them can spare any troops, so it's mostly managed by House Gloucester.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The former Count Gloucester is also currently taking steps to ensure the bandits do not invade and claim Phlegethon land for their own.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
My mother's family hails from Ordelia territory, but I haven't been able to contact them.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I'm terribly worried about my grandparents. I have no way to make sure they're safe.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I truly hope they're all right.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
There's a bridge in Ordelia territory that crosses over the Airmid River. Though it's not nearly as big as the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Normally there's a checkpoint on either side to prevent bandits from passing through.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But they must've taken control of it, since we've had reports that bandits are on both sides of the river.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I was lucky to snag a new employer right after Acheron died.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Otherwise I could've easily been one of the bandits attacking Ordelia territory right now.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I'm a member of the local guard in a village near here. Most of my compatriots have been killed.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I didn't think there was any way the Federation army would help us because they were off fighting the war.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But here you are, in full force. The king didn't abandon us after all.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I prayed with all the refugees who fled to the church.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
And the goddess answered our prayers by sending the Federation army to our aid.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
My partner died in the last battle. We'd been together for ages...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Nothin' to do about it now. Captain Jeralt decided we should work with the Federation.

I was convinced it was the right choice at the time...

I was sent over to help you all, but I'm amazed at how quickly King Claude is handling the situation.

Forming the Federation was worth it, if only to provide faster aid without waiting for the roundtable.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
A region is nothing without its people, you know. The Empire could learn a thing or two from you.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Have you heard about the dance master that lives in southwestern Hrym territory?
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Apparently they won the White Heron Cup! Boy, does that take me back.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Oh, you don't know what it is? Huh. I thought you definitely would've heard of it.
