Hear me well, you fell brigands! I, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, stand in judgment before you!
Shez volume_up
So, not to be a jerk, but when you stand up and scream your name like that, it prevents us from launching any kind of sneak attack.

House Gloucester has no need of such dishonest trickery. If our foe is asleep, we kick out their pillow before the battle begins!
link Lorenz volume_up
Firstly, let us deal with the bandits outside the base!
link Lorenz volume_up
I shall not permit you to wreak any more havoc within my borders!
link Raphael volume_up
Say, Lorenz? Why don't you hang back and let us handle this?
link Lorenz volume_up
Do not coddle me! I am more than capable of holding my own against this pack of curs!
link Ignatz volume_up
Now that I think of it, we're near the place where Claude's grandfather met his end, aren't we?
link Lorenz volume_up
Indeed, I think you are correct. Could this group perchance have some connection to that most unfortunate incident?
link Lorenz volume_up
You yourself are a former mercenary, yes? Pray point out everyone you recognize.

Uh, you do realize that not every mercenary knows each other, right?

That is enough for the soldiers outside. Let us proceed to attacking the base!
link Lorenz volume_up
By the good name of Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, you foul marauders shall terrorize my subjects no longer!
Artisan volume_up
Gloucester? Let's get outta here before we get beaten to a pulp again!
link Raphael volume_up
If we let these folks go, they'll just cause more trouble somewhere else. Let's track 'em down!
link Raphael volume_up
My mother and father died not too far from here. That was a long time ago now...
link Lorenz volume_up
They were merchants, yes?
link Raphael volume_up
Yeah, they were traveling with the old Duke Riegan and got attacked by monsters.
link Lorenz volume_up
During the period when my father employed these mercenaries, monster attacks were a rather common occurrence in this region.
link Lorenz volume_up
And these monsters took the lives of both the former Duke Riegan and Raphael's parents...
link Raphael volume_up
Pay attention, Lorenz! If you keep staring off into space, some bandit's gonna run up and conk you on the head!
link Lorenz volume_up
Yes, of course. I must focus on the battle at hand.
link Raphael volume_up
All right, that should be all of 'em!
Artisan volume_up
Urgh, we can't get out the front... Let's cut around back!
link Lorenz volume_up
There is something strange about the enemy's current movements. Perhaps they have another escape route in mind?
link Ignatz volume_up
They're trying to get out the back way! After them!
link Raphael volume_up
Yeah! No escape!
link Raphael volume_up
It's funny how you're like a real knight now, Ignatz. You used to be so scrawny.
link Ignatz volume_up
I think everyone looks scrawny compared to you, Raphael.
link Ignatz volume_up
We stopped them!
Artisan volume_up
You? The count? Hahaha! Where's yer father, ya little brat?
link Lorenz volume_up
Retired. I am the count of Gloucester now!
Artisan volume_up
Ya don't say... Well, in that case, I'll have to take my revenge on you instead!
link Lorenz volume_up
He seeks vengeance against my father? Whatever was driving these people?
link Lorenz volume_up
I am troubled by this development, but as the ruler of this domain I must do my duty and eliminate these bandits!
link Ignatz volume_up
Say, Raphael?
link Raphael volume_up
Keep quiet and fight, Ignatz. These guys are serious business.
link Lorenz volume_up
Accept your defeat!
Artisan volume_up
Ain't you traitorous nobles tired of beatin' us up yet?
link Lorenz volume_up
Wait. You claim my father betrayed you?
Artisan volume_up
Used us and threw us away like trash, he did! Then he tried to make us disappear so as to sweep it under the rug!
Artisan volume_up
Just kill me and be done with it already! Least that way it'll finally be over...
link Lorenz volume_up
I would speak with you yet. I need to understand what has transpired here.
Artisan volume_up
...
link Ignatz volume_up
We did it! We won!
link Raphael volume_up
Meat party when we get home, and Lorenz is buying!
link Lorenz volume_up
You all go on ahead. I must speak with the bandit we captured.
link Raphael volume_up
No! They got away!
