You and your allies are marching through Imperial territory, sights set on ending the war, when you receive a shocking report: the Western Church has raised an army to attack your army from the rear.

Metodey volume_up
Wait! If it's money you want, I'll split... the loot...
link Sylvain volume_up
I thought this was the Western Church's army? You wouldn't know it with all those outside forces, Imperial and...otherwise.
link Dedue volume_up
I did not expect so many Imperial troops in the Western Church.
link Dimitri volume_up
Ah... We must help these people, and quickly. We can focus on gaining territory after that.
link Dimitri volume_up
Our priority is granting the local citizens an escape route. To do so, we must start by capturing the nearby strongholds.
link Dedue volume_up
One stronghold secured. We must now capture another.
link Dimitri volume_up
It is tantamount to death for these people should these strongholds fall. We must keep them secure.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ugh, the Kingdom's here already? Loot whatever you can!
Charon General volume_up
Get a load of this guy here for the wrong job. Who made him an Imperial general, anyway?
Charon General volume_up
I'm outta here if we're killing innocent people. Goes against the merc code.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It's too late to have morals now! We're paying you to kill, so you buckle down and do it!
link Felix volume_up
There are still people trapped inside the fortress. We need to get to them, fast.
link Dimitri volume_up
But this isn't even Kingdom territory. What would embolden them to do such things?
Charon General volume_up
Hah! You can have your dirty money back. Find someone else for this job.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Shut up and do as you're told, merc! Or, I could always cut you to pieces if you can't follow orders.
link Annette volume_up
We made it! Come on, we have to help the others!
link Dedue volume_up
I cannot help but think of the Tragedy. We must rescue each and every civilian.
link Felix volume_up
Think that's all of them. No matter what happens from here on out, we have to keep them safe.
link Dimitri volume_up
We saved as many as we possibly could. Now we need to see them safely evacuated to the strongholds outside the fortress.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I see you trying to sneak away. Not on my watch! You fools will get what you deserve!
link Felix volume_up
Hmph. They just keep coming.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hard to fight and keep your prizes safe at the same time, isn't it?
Charon General volume_up
C'mon, you gotta be kidding me! Let me out!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Come on, you're letting them get away! I'm not done feasting on the fear in their eyes yet!
link Dedue volume_up
The people should be safe in the strongholds for now. But we must keep defending them to the very end.
link Mercedes volume_up
We won't let you get away with any more of this.
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Ashe volume_up
Not good! We can't let this go on!
link Mercedes volume_up
We won't let you get away with any more of this.
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Ashe volume_up
Not good! We can't let this go on!
link Mercedes volume_up
We won't let you get away with any more of this.
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Annette volume_up
No! We have to save them!
link Ashe volume_up
Not good! We can't let this go on!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Unbelievable. They've all escaped. Guess it's time to finish this myself!
link Sylvain volume_up
Perfect! The big bad's on the field now. Don't take your eyes off the strongholds, but this is our chance to take him down.
link Dedue volume_up
That appears to be the Imperial commander. Striking him down should weaken their forces.
Metodey volume_up
You let all the maggots get away, but I wasn't done torturing them. You'll just have to take their place!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You let all the maggots get away, but I wasn't done torturing them. You'll just have to take their place!
link Dimitri volume_up
Will those be your last words, then? I think I'll start by excising that overactive tongue of yours.
link Dedue volume_up
There's one safe. We need to hurry and get the rest.
link Annette volume_up
OK, we're almost there! Keep it up, everyone!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
The gold I racked up here is going to make all my dreams come true!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Oh, you're really starting to get on my nerves!
link Felix volume_up
Hmph. Is that what passes for an Imperial general these days?
Charon General volume_up
Let me outta here, Metodey! I said I'm leaving!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hahaha! And I said you're going nowhere! You'll stay put and watch these peasants die!
link Dimitri volume_up
Is that a dissenter in their ranks? We should reach out to him before things escalate any further.
Balthus volume_up
Never shoulda taken this job...and now I'm the one paying for it...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
That traitor merc still needs to be dealt with. Get him!
Charon General volume_up
So that's how it's gonna be, huh? Don't think I'll just take this lying down!
Charon General volume_up
Hey, you from the Kingdom? Could you give me a hand here?
Charon General volume_up
Yuri! Boy, am I glad to see you. You're gonna help me, right?
link Yuri volume_up
You're unbelievable. Fine, but you owe me for this!
Charon General volume_up
Hapi! Fancy meeting you here. Hey now, don't you go letting out a sigh!
link Hapi volume_up
What are you doing fighting out here all by yourself? You really are a weird one.
Charon General volume_up
Thanks. C'mon, let's handle the rest!
Charon General volume_up
Thanks for the rescue. What was I thinking, taking a job working under those jerks?
link Dimitri volume_up
Perhaps you'd like to join us instead, then. We can make it worth your while.
Charon General volume_up
Sure, why not. You mind if I get a breather first, though? It's been a rough one.
Balthus volume_up
Never shoulda taken this job...and now I'm the one paying for it...
link Ashe volume_up
No! We'd almost reached him!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
That traitor merc still needs to be dealt with. Get him!
Balthus volume_up
Nrgh! You...got me good...
??? volume_up
Ultimately, Metodey, you were no better than a stupid beast. We will withdraw.
Myson volume_up
I am Myson, liberator of humankind from the control of filthy vermin.
link Felix volume_up
So that guy's the brains behind all this? Don't let him get away!
link Sylvain volume_up
Not a chance! We can't let him get away here!
link Dimitri volume_up
We must keep the people safe. Whatever happens, protect our strongholds.
link Sylvain volume_up
Ugh. You know, these look an awful lot like Cornelia's creeps.
??? volume_up
You are all descendants of the most inconsequential of beasts, and your deaths will fuel our grand ambition.
Shez volume_up
So you're the one who ordered this massacre? Then I can't let you go any further.
Shez volume_up
So you're the one who ordered this massacre? Then I can't let you go any further.
??? volume_up
Oh? Might you be...
??? volume_up
I will not be held up by such foul vermin.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ready the ballistae! Let's see them off with a nice parting gift!
link Dedue volume_up
Those ballistae are trouble. We should split up and take them down.
link Dedue volume_up
One left. Let's hurry.
link Ingrid volume_up
We did it! We've created a safe path forward.
??? volume_up
While I may have turned a blind eye to the Empire's brutality, this wasn't what I signed up for! I'm out of here!
link Dimitri volume_up
Don't let them get away!
??? volume_up
No... This wasn't the plan...
??? volume_up
The goddess has forsaken us...
link Dimitri volume_up
No matter the justification, your actions are inexcusable.
link Felix volume_up
Ugh. They can run fast, I'll give them that.
link Felix volume_up
Ugh. They can run fast, I'll give them that.
link Dedue volume_up
We have a squad of healers in reserve. They should be able to provide aid to injured citizens.
link Dedue volume_up
Please, heal them.
link Mercedes volume_up
Thank the goddess! I hope that grants us some peace of mind for a little while.
link Ashe volume_up
We should probably close the gates to the strongholds that are sheltering the evacuees.
link Dedue volume_up
I believe we should close off the strongholds with the citizens inside.
link Ashe volume_up
Do it now! Close the gates!
link Dimitri volume_up
Now that the people are safe, we can press the enemy with no holds barred.
link Felix volume_up
Ugh. I can't believe you fools locked yourselves in there too. Open the gates, now!
link Ashe volume_up
That stronghold's going to fall if we don't do something! We need to help, and fast!
link Annette volume_up
We can't let that stronghold fall! Hurry!
link Sylvain volume_up
Not a chance! We can't let him get away here!
??? volume_up
I suppose we cannot make any more gains here. No sense in sticking around. Unless...
link Arval volume_up
Myson, was it...
link Dimitri volume_up
Your efforts saved countless lives today. Hold your head high.
??? volume_up
What did we do to deserve this...
link Dimitri volume_up
We didn't make it in time. Yet again...I failed to save them.
??? volume_up
No... I'm not ready to die...
link Dimitri volume_up
We didn't make it in time. Yet again...I failed to save them.
??? volume_up
What did we do to deserve this...
link Dimitri volume_up
We didn't make it in time. Yet again...I failed to save them.
link Dedue volume_up
No... With the stronghold fallen, the people inside will perish.
link Dedue volume_up
No... With the stronghold fallen, the people inside will perish.
??? volume_up
Hmph. Let the beasts battle it out amongst themselves.
link Felix volume_up
Hmph, he got away. What a colossal failure.
