We're going after Duke Aegir. Edelgard is likely to be with him.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I must escape, even if it's alone. Quickly, to Garreg Mach!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
The enemy is upon us, but I cannot die here! The future of the Empire depends on it!
link Dorothea volume_up
I never properly thanked you for all you did for me back in Enbarr. Allow me to do so now.
link Dimitri volume_up
He has a number of soldiers with him. Simply giving chase will not close the distance.
link Dimitri volume_up
We need to cut off his escape route. Sending a few units ahead via the caves might do the trick.
Dark Merchant volume_up
A shame I missed the pitched battle. I'm not so fond of fighting at a disadvantage.
link Annette volume_up
They'll have troops waiting for us in the caves, I'm sure of it. Let's keep our wits about us!
link Felix volume_up
The enemy will be in the caves as well, of course. We'll just have to deal with them as we go.
Dark Merchant volume_up
From bad to worse. Very well, I'll go buy us some time.
Dark Merchant volume_up
Leopold will run me through the wringer if I don't put in a decent effort here.
Dark Merchant volume_up
Hmph. Well, whatever happens here, at least House Hevring will survive...in some form.
link Linhardt volume_up
That's always your main concern, I know. Although we'll lose all our land anyway, like as not.
Dark Merchant volume_up
The Kingdom army's prowess certainly is enviable. Just look at what the Empire has been reduced to.
Dark Merchant volume_up
Oh no, I'm well and truly out of tricks to try now. I shudder to think of what would happen to me in enemy hands.
Dark Merchant volume_up
I've reached my limit. Go on and advance, you Seiros lapdogs.
link Sylvain volume_up
Great, the path is clear! Let's go block off his exit route!
link Dedue volume_up
Now we can keep going. Time to cut off that escape route.
??? volume_up
Your Excellency! Kingdom troops up ahead have cut off our escape route!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
We are cut off from escape! Now we must summon everything we have to defeat them!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Go! We cannot falter here if the Empire is to survive!
Rodrigue volume_up
They're trying to pincer attack us! I don't think so!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Imperial army! Decimate any foe who crosses your path!
Dark Merchant volume_up
In this situation, I do wish we could be all places at once.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I will not tolerate any threat on my life!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I am a great man! A man of wealth and power! I am Ludwig von Aegir!
Ludwig volume_up
Oh, ancestors of Adrestia...and Your Majesty... Our Empire is doomed...
link Dimitri volume_up
We've managed to defeat Duke Aegir, but Edelgard is nowhere to be seen. We must find her.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
We're truly done for now. Is there no one who can help us?!
Rodrigue volume_up
Fine, I'll cover you. They won't get through me!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
We will use this stronghold to make ready. Prepare a fresh horse! The Minister of Military Affairs shall buy us time!
Rodrigue volume_up
Guess I'll have to go in my father's place. They won't get through me!
Shez volume_up
We'll have to take Caspar out if we want to keep moving!
Shez volume_up
We'll have to take Caspar out if we want to keep moving!
link Dimitri volume_up
Duke Aegir cannot be allowed to escape. We must defeat Caspar with utmost haste.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh no, it's Caspar!
Rodrigue volume_up
There's that same reaction again. You do realize that you're the ones who barged in on us, right?
Rodrigue volume_up
Same old Bernadetta, huh? Sorry, but we can't go easy on you out here.
Rodrigue volume_up
This is our first fight, Linhardt. Gonna be our last, too.
link Linhardt volume_up
No, we faced off at Ailell before. Never thought I'd want to fight you again like this, though.
link Linhardt volume_up
Yes, I'm afraid so. I never thought I'd want to fight you like this, though.
link Dorothea volume_up
Caspar, I'm sorry. This time, victory will be mine.
link Dorothea volume_up
Oh Caspar...I'd hoped I wouldn't have to battle you, and yet here we are.
Rodrigue volume_up
Sorry, Dorothea, but I can't stop here either. You and I both have our own reasons why we fight...and that's just how it is.
Rodrigue volume_up
Petra, as the son of your enemy, I'll fight you in his place!
link Petra volume_up
That is no longer mattering. I am fighting for my home and its future!
Rodrigue volume_up
I can't let you pass. You'll have to get through me first!
Rodrigue volume_up
Wow, not bad at all! But I won't go down like this.
Rodrigue volume_up
It doesn't matter how bad I get hurt, just as long as I can stay on my feet!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I'll hold the rear! Go, Caspar!
link Felix volume_up
Finally. There's no time to waste. Let's go!
Caspar volume_up
Edelgard, I'm sorry. I did...what I could...
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I'll hold the rear! Go, Caspar!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
We are now ready to retreat!
link Ashe volume_up
Duke Aegir's getting away. We have to defeat Caspar, fast!
link Dedue volume_up
Duke Aegir is on the move. We must deal with Caspar quickly.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I...I'm utterly exhausted! Someone relieve me so I can rest!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Let me show you the prowess of House Bergliez. Come and try me if you don't value your lives!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ugh... I...I'm utterly exhausted! Minister, please relieve me so I can rest!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Let me show you the prowess of House Bergliez. Come and try me if you don't value your lives!
link Dimitri volume_up
The Minister of Military Affairs himself stands before us now? Very well, then. We will just have to take him down!
link Felix volume_up
We have to take him out now! If we aren't quick about it, Duke Aegir's going to get away.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Any last words? I shall receive them in place of the goddess.
link Bernadetta volume_up
What?! No, I still have so many more books to read!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I see they're working you to the bone, boy. Of course they are.
link Linhardt volume_up
I certainly wouldn't go up against you this many times by choice, if that's what you mean.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ah, Waldemar's son. I'm impressed to see you on the front lines.
link Linhardt volume_up
Well, I will admit this wasn't my first choice. But either way, my life was in danger, so here I am.
link Petra volume_up
You will be defeated!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Admirable spirit. I will meet it in kind!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Any last words? I shall receive them in place of the goddess.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Sheer numbers will not defeat me! You must show gumption!
Dark Merchant volume_up
Leopold, you look to be quite hard up. I suppose even a man like you needs a hand sometimes.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Fine talk coming from a man who's only here after losing ground earlier!
Dark Merchant volume_up
I believe Leopold needs help. I'll leave this to you.
Dark Merchant volume_up
I'm aware you don't need any help, but at least let me heal you.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Who asked you? But now I really can't settle for anything less than victory!
link Dimitri volume_up
This will be fun. I suppose good manners dictate that we repay them in kind and charge them head-on!
Dark Merchant volume_up
Things are not unfolding quite in our favor. I had best retreat.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You're doing well. I might even be in danger!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Haha! Finally, someone capable of bringing me to my knees! I shall... What is that?!
Dark Merchant volume_up
The Empire cannot afford your death. My apologies, but I'm warping you out of here.
link Dimitri volume_up
So he lives to fight another day... Regardless, our pathway is now clear. Let us hurry after Duke Aegir.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hurry! Faster! Keep running!
link Dedue volume_up
Duke Aegir is on the move. We must deal with Count Bergliez quickly.
link Dimitri volume_up
Where is Edelgard? We must find her at once... Ah!
Byleth volume_up
Butcher most vile. You killed the sire of this vessel, and now you die for it.
Byleth volume_up
Butcher most vile. You killed the sire of this vessel, and now you die for it.
link Arval volume_up
It's you the monster wants, so let's give the Ashen Demon a fitting end.
Shez volume_up
You're strong...but I've got a little something of my own—and this time, I know I can take you!
Shez volume_up
You're strong...but I've got a little something of my own—and this time, I know I can take you!
Linhardt volume_up
Our foe intends to win. But just for you, I'll see the pest crushed underfoot myself.
Linhardt volume_up
You arrogant speck! Begone! This fight is not for you.
Linhardt volume_up
This vessel will not move as I command!
link Arval volume_up
The monster's losing control. Now's our chance to finish it!
Linhardt volume_up
You wretched...hateful...thing!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Your Excellency, the ballistae are ready to fire! That might buy us a small amount of time.
link Ingrid volume_up
Ugh. Our path is effectively blocked. We need to disable those ballistae.
link Dedue volume_up
A rain of arrows from above... Before we go any further, we should put a stop to that.
link Mercedes volume_up
Good, it's stopped! Now we can keep moving!
link Dedue volume_up
It's stopped. That should make it easier to pass.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Yes, splendid! Our way is clear and the Empire lives on! Haha!
link Dimitri volume_up
No! We were too late...
link Felix volume_up
The combat engineers are in position. This should make for a good diversion.
link Dimitri volume_up
Good. Send up the signal.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
What was that meant to signal? An enemy ambush?! Investigate!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You found nothing at all? Well, we must press onward. Advance!
link Felix volume_up
Hah. We've got them so cornered that I'm not even sure we'll need the engineers.
