No... This is wrong... I can't die...
Hubert volume_up
I must rest. Sadly, I fear I will be of no help until this affair is finished.

I fall back for the moment, but I will return. I must be the one to end this!

Enemy soldiers have breached our fortifications! To arms! Defend the glory of the Empire!

They've seen through our ruse already... Prepare to take the fortress!

Our detachment is safely inside, but we should wait to see how the enemy responds before we deploy them.

Start by seizing the inner ward.

These mercenaries are no better than common bandits! How could my father make a deal with such a pack of rogues?

Looks like they're here—and once we kill 'em all, we'll have more riches than we know what to do with! Bwahaha!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Ack! Look out! Somebody do some crowd control or something!
Citizen volume_up
Looks like this ain't your lucky day.
link Caspar volume_up
I should've expected an ambush—we used to play hide-and-seek here all the time!
link Edelgard volume_up
This is going well—almost too well. Is Aegir truly so short-handed?

That barrier was formed with dark magic. We must eliminate the caster in order to pass.

I care not if it's magic walls or what have you. If you get in the way of Her Majesty, you will pay!

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Pathetic fools! And to think I was entertaining the idea of letting you scamper away.
??? volume_up
So I've been defanged...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
They got him? I do not appreciate that!
link Edelgard volume_up
What was that attack?!
link Hubert volume_up
They possess a magic construct!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ahahaha! I give you...the Viskam! I hope you like being roasted alive, because that's exactly what's about to happen to you.
link Hubert volume_up
We would be fools to try and force our way through this. The time has come to call upon our detachment.
link Monica volume_up
That thing will hamper our advance, but maybe the detachment can do something about it.
link Edelgard volume_up
A weapon of that scale is certain to be controlled by some kind of device.
Mage volume_up
The enemy's here! Kill them all!
link Hubert volume_up
The construct is still operational—there must be a second device. Keep looking!
link Monica volume_up
It didn't work! There must be another device controlling that weapon...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Who gave these wretches leave to scurry in? Exterminate them!

Well, we've smashed their little toy—let's see what their next move will be.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
But Thales gave me that... Ooh, I am so mad at you right now!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
That's it! I'm going to rip you apart myself!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hey! Why can you wield that power, huh? Who even are you?!
Shez volume_up
Why don't you tell me? You seem to know more than enough about it already.

Well, well! If it isn't Monica! Tell me, what kind of mush-for-brains comes crawling back to the woman who almost killed her?
link Monica volume_up
So I'm to have my revenge today, am I? Oh. Her Majesty is far too kind!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
The bad news is that you're going to die. The good news is that you won't be alone!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You aggravating little worm!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I never expected much from those shifty vermin, and here I am with the cold embrace of the grave hovering at my shoulder.
??? volume_up
I thought our victory was assured! How could everything have gone so wrong?!
??? volume_up
There is naught left but to resist with all our might. Help me push them back!
link Edelgard volume_up
The writing is on the wall, but those fools would sooner perish than admit it.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Arm the fire orbs! We'll rain death down upon them from above!
link Linhardt volume_up
Fire orbs? Those must be new. A little gauche, if you ask me.
link Caspar volume_up
They look real dangerous, though. Also, what's a gauche?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Arm the fire orbs! We'll rain death down upon them from above!
link Hubert volume_up
It appears our foe is full of delightful surprises. We should attend to them before they do too much damage.
Dark Merchant volume_up
It's time. Conjure a magic shield to safeguard our comrades!
Dark Merchant volume_up
Your Majesty, forgive my lateness. The outer defenses only just fell.
link Edelgard volume_up
On the contrary, your timing is perfect.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Is that...Waldemar? Curse that man! Why must he always show up at the worst possible moment and ruin everything?!
link Linhardt volume_up
Well, that was an impeccably staged entrance. Were you just biding your time in order to put on the best show possible?
Dark Merchant volume_up
You know, Linhardt, there are times you take after me—and then there's most of the time.
??? volume_up
My dreams of glory... Why...
??? volume_up
I never should have come to this accursed place...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Viscount Fenja, Viscount Menja... Forgive me.
link Ferdinand volume_up
I'm coming for you, Father.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
My name is Ludwig von Aegir! I see the Empire in the throes of a terrible sickness, and I intend to cure it or die in the attempt!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
So, my son. You come to claim your poor father's head at last.
link Ferdinand volume_up
I come to do my duty. No more and no less.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Will you not heed me, Your Majesty?!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
This ideology of yours leaves countless good people by the wayside!
link Edelgard volume_up
Yet countless more were already suffering prior. All I did was make a choice.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I must not fall! The Empire needs me!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I will not falter until I see the Empire's glory and principles restored!
link Ferdinand volume_up
Time has moved on from you, Father, and you cannot unwind it no matter how hard you try. How could you not see this?
??? volume_up
We have the enemy where we want them! Unleash the arrows!

Those ballistae require stopping!

Get in there and hammer 'em while they're pinned down by that magic weapon!
link Dorothea volume_up
Are you kidding me? Reinforcements? This day just keeps getting better...
link Hubert volume_up
Ready yourselves! They mean to throw everything they have at us until we break!
link Dorothea volume_up
I think that's the end of the reinforcements.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Would somebody please step up and do something about those other vermin there?!
link Edelgard volume_up
The enemy's targeting our detachment! We must strike down Kronya and reach them!
link Monica volume_up
The only way to rescue our detachment is by going straight through Kronya—but can we defeat her in time?
link Edelgard volume_up
I don't know how we made it, but we did.
link Hubert volume_up
Leave the enemy no place to hide! Seize every key position in the fortress!
??? volume_up
The enemy is getting too close to Duke Aegir! We must hurry to his side!
link Hubert volume_up
Oh, but you are far too late now.
link Hubert volume_up
Now perhaps we can stamp out those who slither in the dark as well.
link Ferdinand volume_up
It appears we have taken control of the fortress walls. Now we can move our catapults into position and attack!
link Edelgard volume_up
Unleash the catapults! Break our enemy's spirit!
link Edelgard volume_up
Unleash the catapults! Break our enemy's spirit!
link Hubert volume_up
On your command, we can use the agents we scattered amongst the rebels to throw the enemy into disarray.
Merchant volume_up
It was a mistake to join this rebellion... Our allegiance lies with Emperor Edelgard!
??? volume_up
What's going on? Who's switching sides?
link Hubert volume_up
We missed our chance to use our agents— but no matter.
link Edelgard volume_up
No! Without the detachment, we'll never retake the fortress!
link Hubert volume_up
Your Majesty, no! Without you, all hope is lost...
link Edelgard volume_up
Now we have no hope of retaking the fortress.
