The Defense of the Silver Maiden

Leonie volume_up
Courage, everyone! Arianrhod is nearly ours! Keep pressing until we claim the main hall!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
The king's army is true to its reputation. Even I can only stall for so much time.

link Edelgard volume_up
They're closing in on the main hall. We must help them, and quickly!

link Edelgard volume_up
We must reach the main hall before Count Rowe is put in peril!

link Hubert volume_up
Count Rowe values his life above all else. If they get a blade to his throat, the man will betray us in a heartbeat.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hmph! You call that fighting? The Gray Lion has only begun to roar!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
So this is where I die? Heh... Very well! I stand ready for what comes!

link Ferdinand volume_up
Time slips away from us. Move faster!

link Edelgard volume_up
Well, we avoided the worst outcome. That's a start.

Leonie volume_up
It seems victory is yours, Lord Gwendal.

??? volume_up
The Empire holds the advantage... Attention all troops! We stand with Lady Edelgard! Put the king's forces to rout!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
My last battle was a fine one... I thank you for the opportunity, Your Majesty.

Leonie volume_up
It is not too late to swear fealty—I've no desire to take unnecessary lives.

??? volume_up
Gwendal, I have decided we fight for the king after all. Help His Majesty drive those Imperial dogs back from whence they came!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Why, my lord? How could you change sides again after all my cautioning?

link Hubert volume_up
The enemy controls the central gates, as well? How aggravating. This is clearly going to be a multi-step process.

link Hubert volume_up
First, we must use devices within the fortress to gain access to the walls, where we will find the devices that will open the central gates.

link Monica volume_up
So you're saying we should start by using the two devices in front of the central gates.

link Caspar volume_up
Ugh, why does this have to be so complicated?

link Linhardt volume_up
Maybe they call her the Silver Maiden because our hair will be gray by the time we finish this.

link Dorothea volume_up
I'll take levers and switches over more soldiers any day of the week.

link Dorothea volume_up
I'll take levers and switches over more soldiers any day of the week.

link Ferdinand volume_up
There. Now we can reach the other devices that will open the central gates.

Mercedes volume_up
I thought it might be you, Emile. This is... admittedly not the reunion I was hoping for.

Mercedes volume_up
I take no joy in battling old friends, but I have a duty, and will see it through.

link Jeritza volume_up
Don't make me kill you, Mercedes.

Rufus volume_up
I thought it might be you, Emile. This is... admittedly not the reunion I was hoping for.

link Jeritza volume_up
Do you remember me, Mercedes?

Rufus volume_up
Of course. And while I've longed to see you again, for it to happen under circumstances like these is...heartbreaking.

Rufus volume_up
If you will not stand down, Constance, then I am left with no choice.

link Constance volume_up
And here I was, so happy to see you again... Ah, the goddess delights in punishing my folly.

Rufus volume_up
So you've become an Imperial officer? What a cruel twist fate throws at me this day.

link Ashe volume_up
I don't want to fight you, either, Mercedes! But...that's just how it has to be.

Rufus volume_up
I must keep everyone safe...

Mercedes volume_up
I'm so sorry... All I did was get in the way...

Mercedes volume_up
I'm so sorry... All I did was get in the way...

link Jeritza volume_up
Why, Mercedes? Why?

link Constance volume_up
Was this the best end destiny saw fit to grant you, Mercedes?

Leonie volume_up
Forgive me, Mercedes... I will see you avenged...personally!

link Jeritza volume_up
Please, Mercedes. No more.

Rufus volume_up
I never could bear to see you cry—not then, and not now. Oh, very well...

link Constance volume_up
Was this the best end destiny saw fit to grant you, Mercedes?

Leonie volume_up
Forgive me, Mercedes... I will see you avenged...personally!

link Edelgard volume_up
We must move on those gates! Time is our enemy!

link Monica volume_up
The devices we're looking for are up on the walls to the east and west!

link Petra volume_up
One is down. One is to go!

link Petra volume_up
One is down. One is to go!

link Hubert volume_up
Finally. Now to breach the central gates.

??? volume_up
In the name of the king, the Empire must be destroyed! All troops, advance!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Reinforcements have arrived!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Then we'll stop them! They can't be allowed to interfere with the rescue!

link Edelgard volume_up
I'm counting on you, Randolph. Defend those gates with your life!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
In the name of the Empire, you will not pass!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I'm sorry, Randolph... I've got nothing left...

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It's all right, Fleche. I'll take care of this!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Forgive me, Your Majesty. I've reached my limit!

link Edelgard volume_up
You went above and beyond, Randolph. Leave the rest to us!

Dimitri volume_up
You will go no further.

link Monica volume_up
If Dedue is here, that means Dimitri is, too!

Dedue volume_up
Take your best shot.

link Ashe volume_up
Dedue, I...

Dimitri volume_up
Are you with us or not? If the latter, then face me with all the courage you have.

Dimitri volume_up
You won't get past me!

Dimitri volume_up
Forgive me, Your Majesty...

link Edelgard volume_up
That takes care of their gatekeeper. We're nearly to the main hall now!

??? volume_up
So it's come to this, eh? So be it! Take our remaining soldiers and cut the Imperial dogs down where they stand!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I am your knight to my dying breath, my lord!

link Edelgard volume_up
I see you've dug your grave. Now you can lie in it!

Gwendal volume_up
Come at me, you Adrestian whelps! Draw what blood you can from the Lion!

link Hubert volume_up
There is no more frightening a foe than a lion unafraid of death.

??? volume_up
No! I'm not ready to die! Someone, help!

??? volume_up
It wasn't...supposed to be like this...

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
My lord may be gone, but my fealty will not perish so easily.

Gwendal volume_up
Well fought, whelps...

??? volume_up
Gwendal, no! What would you have me do?!

link Edelgard volume_up
To think you once had a place at our table... Such a shame.

Dimitri volume_up
You've left me no choice. Every last one of you shall meet your end here.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
So the blood of the King of Lions wants to challenge me, eh? I might actually enjoy this.

Leonie volume_up
If the count has been struck down, I'll simply crush the enemy by my own hand.

Dimitri volume_up
Heh. Let us make this a clean fight.

Leonie volume_up
You must've kept busy to make such strides in two short years.

Leonie volume_up
Come to offer me your head, Edelgard? How careless of you.

link Edelgard volume_up
I could say the same of you. Surely the responsibility you bear is no less than mine.

Leonie volume_up
Few knights are truer than you, Ashe. I bade you to keep living, and you have.

link Ashe volume_up
Your Majesty... I prayed this day would never come.

Leonie volume_up
Arianrhod is the linchpin of the west. If we don't retake it... No! We must retake it!

Leonie volume_up
We are at a breaking point. All forces, fall back!

Dimitri volume_up
Move, Your Majesty! I will guard your escape!

Yuri volume_up
That will not be necessary, Dedue. Stay with our king and live on.

Leonie volume_up
Swear that you will return to us, Ingrid. I could not bear to lose you.

Yuri volume_up
Bring victory to Faerghus, Your Majesty.

Yuri volume_up
It seems all the dreams and ideals you regaled me with aren't worth the dust under your feet.

link Ashe volume_up
I'm sorry, Ingrid. But I can't turn back now.

Yuri volume_up
So long as I stand, you will not threaten the future of Faerghus, nor cause any of my friends and allies harm!

Yuri volume_up
I have been weak... I have been unready... But I can still atone by giving the two of them a chance to escape!

??? volume_up
Please, young mistress! Surrender! Your life hangs by a thread!

Yuri volume_up
I know what's at stake. If I am struck down, deliver this magic lance to His Majesty.

link Hubert volume_up
The main gates are closed. We could circle around from the left or right, but...

link Edelgard volume_up
But the ground along those routes is filled with traps. We'll have to do this the smart way and use the gates.

link Hubert volume_up
The devices on the walls to the east and west will allow us to open the main gate.

link Caspar volume_up
This place is a serious pain. Why can't the route to the main hall just be a straight line?!

link Caspar volume_up
This place is a serious pain. Why can't the route to the main hall just be a straight line?!

link Ferdinand volume_up
The main gates are open. What now?

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I'll hold the area around the gates, Your Majesty! You keep going!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
We can do this, Randolph. None will get past us!

link Ferdinand volume_up
We must pass over those traps if we are to reach the main hall as swiftly as possible. Can they be disarmed?

link Monica volume_up
I think there are more devices we can disable at the far ends of the east and west walls!

link Hubert volume_up
It seems we may be able to disarm the traps within the fortress.

link Monica volume_up
I saw another device like this on the other side of the wall. Let's disable it!

link Bernadetta volume_up
We'd be out of our minds to walk through a bunch of traps. Let's disable them already!

link Bernadetta volume_up
We'd be out of our minds to walk through a bunch of traps. Let's disable them already!

link Edelgard volume_up
Now we can advance safely.

link Edelgard volume_up
We finally have the advantage! Let's work on securing the rest of the fortress!

link Hubert volume_up
Arianrhod has nearly been brought to heel.

link Hubert volume_up
Shall we call on Castle Gaspard's militia? They've been posing as civilians, and should be near the main hall now.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Then I welcome you! We will claim victory!

link Edelgard volume_up
That should buy the main hall some time.

link Hubert volume_up
We missed our chance to use the militia.

link Hubert volume_up
If we want to slow the enemy, we must put as many troops by the main hall as we can.

link Monica volume_up
Hey, weren't there hidden stairs that lead from the east and west walls down to the fortress grounds?

link Ferdinand volume_up
Now we can send troops in from the walls. Time to make the Kingdom sweat!

Ingrid volume_up
Is the king...safe? Good. Then I've done what I set out to do...

link Monica volume_up
She laid down her life to protect Dimitri, and proved loyal to the very end.

link Edelgard volume_up
Because of you, we have defended Arianrhod and many of the Empire's loyal vassals.

link Edelgard volume_up
I thank you for your valor.

link Edelgard volume_up
Yet sadly, despite our best efforts, Count Rowe and too many others perished.

link Edelgard volume_up
This is most painful indeed.

link Hubert volume_up
We'll never get anywhere with that device until we deal with the soldiers around it.

link Hubert volume_up
We'll never get anywhere with that device until we deal with the soldiers around it.

link Hubert volume_up
We'll never get anywhere with that device until we deal with the soldiers around it.

link Bernadetta volume_up
Eep! Spikes just came out of the ground! Everyone, stay away from the pointy bits!

link Ferdinand volume_up
We will not get far with these traps.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ashe, you came for me... Can you ever forgive your wretch of a father?

link Ashe volume_up
What's to forgive? You're safe, and that's all that matters.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Are you here to help? Thank you.
