Perhaps hoping to take advantage of the trouble brewing within the Kingdom, the people of Sreng launch an invasion from the north. Dimitri rides out with his best soldiers to intercept.

House Gautier is the bulwark of all Fódlan. I cannot allow myself to fall here.
Matthias volume_up
The enemy is fighting with true vigor. Did I underestimate them?
Matthias volume_up
No...I misread it all...
link Matthias volume_up
Brave soldiers of Faerghus! I task you now with this—defeat the forces of Sreng and prove your might anew!
link Matthias volume_up
I will hold down the stronghold. You focus on dispatching the enemy.
link Dimitri volume_up
How profound. To stand on the same battlefield where my father once fought...
link Sylvain volume_up
And repeating the same fight, as well. Not sure how I feel about that one.
link Rodrigue volume_up
I feel as though I'm fighting alongside the young margrave and late king once again. It's...quite the sensation.
link Sylvain volume_up
I'm honored you think I stack up to my father. I can't help but feel like I pale in comparison.
link Dimitri volume_up
Enough of that. You are more than worthy of the comparison—and to one day take his place as the margrave.

And hey, Dimitri's already blazed that path, so he's gotta know what he's talking about.

There will be no end if we stay on the defensive. Perhaps we should take the fight to our enemy instead.
link Sylvain volume_up
These wild tactics remind me of my father's chess strategies... Wait. I think they might be trying to reach our base.
link Sylvain volume_up
My father's first wife—the one who died in the Sreng raids. What was she like?
link Rodrigue volume_up
She was a classmate of ours at the academy, and the star pupil of the Black Eagles.
link Dimitri volume_up
I understand he earned his "Wall of Ice" moniker after she was lost.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Indeed. Before that, he was a lively young man—cheerful and friendly to the last.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Everything is going swimmingly. I doubt even Lambert could find fault with us.
link Matthias volume_up
I pray my son isn't causing you or His Majesty too much trouble.
link Dimitri volume_up
That should make things easier, but there's still the commander to deal with.
??? volume_up
This payback has been years in the making, Gautier! Hahahaha!
link Sylvain volume_up
That guy—the one who's as loud as a cannon. That must be who we're looking for.
??? volume_up
Don't hate us for this! Our way of life hangs in the balance!
??? volume_up
Sylvain! It's been a long time, old friend! I see you brought that filthy lance along.
link Sylvain volume_up
Glad to see you don't like it, because it was made to drive you out of here!
??? volume_up
Sylvain! It's been a long time, old friend! I hear your brother kicked off.
link Sylvain volume_up
Yes, he did. But what do you care? You're the one who left us behind, remember?
??? volume_up
Not bad... Not bad at all! But do you really think you can best me?
??? volume_up
Perhaps I thought too highly of my troops... But I can retreat with my pride intact!
link Sylvain volume_up
Yeah, and don't come back! Or if you do, at least leave your weapons and soldiers behind.
??? volume_up
Hahaha! I'll think about it!

We cannot allow the margrave to fall. Hurry to support him!
link Sylvain volume_up
Father, no! This can't be happening!
