- Such is the cost of war.
- One cannot win by showing mercy to enemies.
- I will overcome this sacrifice and move on.
- With each foe felled, my resolve strengthens.
- I survived... Very well, then! Onward!
- A boon for our future.
- Here I raise the banner of the Empire!
- Let us use this for the glory of our army!
- I have ensured victory today.
- Though this battle was fought upon the knife's
[cdb]edge, I will also claim victory the next time we
[cdb]meet, Edelgard.
- That brusque strategy lacked your usual
[cdb]dynamism, Hubert—though I cannot say I
[cdb]am unhappy about this turn of events.
- Forgive me, Dorothea, but such is my duty as
[cdb]a nobleman.
- The hour is not too late. Return to your
[cdb]homeland, Petra! I beg you!
- You proved worthy of the noble's mantle.
- To think I would strike such a fine woman
[cdb]down... Pray forgive me, Manuela.
- If only you had taken your ferocity to Enbarr's
[cdb]high society...
- You lost your way, Father. I merely rectified
[cdb]the situation.
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- You serve a magnanimous Empire, so please
[cdb]think carefully about the path you walk.
- Well? Do you see now the true meaning
[cdb]of nobility?
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- Even though I face you, I will not yield.
- Edelgard would be cross with me indeed if I
[cdb]lost to such a familiar face.
- I will not stop until the battle is won. This is
[cdb]my duty and my burden!
- Mark my name well, comrades! I am
Ferdinand von Aegir!
- This bodes ill—I did not think I was careless.
- I might be at my limit... No! I can still fight!
- My thanks!
- The fight goes on!
- I thank you!
- Thus does the fight continue!
- Most impressive! I will follow your lead!
- You are a boon to our spirits!
- Impressive! I will follow your lead wherever it
[cdb]may take me.
- Splendid! Your actions should prove a fine
[cdb]balm for our weary spirits.
- You demonstrate your strength anew!
- You have taken another step forward.
- Not bad, Hubert. Not bad at all.
- You possess beauty and courage in equal
[cdb]measure, Dorothea. You truly are a wonder.
- The skill of Brigid's warriors is a marvel
[cdb]to behold!
- You fight like the truest of nobility, Lorenz!
- Splendid, my princess!
- You have performed admirably, and my faith
[cdb]in you has grown in kind.
- Your strength is true, Constance—there is no
[cdb]need for continued self-abasement.
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- This is what comes from one who shares my
[cdb]belief in giving your all!
- I enjoy seeing you at the fore, Edelgard.
- None can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me
[cdb]save you, Hubert!
- You have done well, Dorothea! And you are
[cdb]unhurt, I trust?
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- Such an achievement! Surely your name will
[cdb]go down in the annals of history!
- A performance unrivaled in the works of man!
Your name shall echo forever across all corners
[cdb]of Fódlan!
- I am truly awed to see you reach such heights
[cdb]of achievement.
- You have delivered phenomenal results,
Edelgard, but please be cautious—it is ever
[cdb]a risk to have one's leader on the front lines.
- Though your martial prowess is stunning,
[cdb]your general way of doing things still sits
[cdb]poorly with me.
- Your tireless attitude has stoked a fire in
[cdb]my heart.
- Such a vivid performance calls to mind a
[cdb]blade dance I once saw performed.
- So that is you giving your all! You have indeed
[cdb]achieved most spectacular results.
- It feels quite good to follow you, Edelgard.
Now more than ever, you are my emperor.
- So this is the full measure of the man you are,
Hubert. I can scarce believe it.
- You dazzle as a songstress, even on the
[cdb]battlefield. How splendid!
- <<<EMPTY>>>
- Well, this could have gone better.
- I will close the gap!
- Leave this enemy to me.
- This is no time to be sparing a thought for
[cdb]my enemy.
- I cannot withdraw—not even when faced with
[cdb]a disadvantage such as this.
- I will capture this stronghold!
- A noble does not know the meaning of the
[cdb]word "surrender!"
- We cannot turn a blind eye to this. Help must
[cdb]be dispatched!
- The position has fallen. This battle is lost.
- I am Ferdinand von Aegir! Have at you!
- Upon my honor, I will stop you!
- Forgive me, friend, but I must end this now.
- This is the way of things on the battlefield.
I beg you to forgive me.
- If you are to be my opponent, I must keep my
[cdb]focus keen and my wits sharp.
- Today we clash, Edelgard!
- I cannot say what you are plotting, but if you
[cdb]intend to bare your fangs, I will meet your
[cdb]challenge head-on.
- You seem to dislike me... I only wish I knew
[cdb]the reason.
- Petra... If only you had returned to your
[cdb]homeland, such things would not be necessary.
- So, you are the reputed son of House
Gloucester, eh? Then let us put your mettle
[cdb]to the measure!
- I am sorry, dear Manuela, but I cannot stay
[cdb]my hand this day!
- Though it saddens me to see you with the
[cdb]enemy, I will strike you down regardless.
- A shame I must turn my blade upon one born
[cdb]and raised in the Empire.
- I will show you the proper path of a noble!
- The duty is done.
- I cannot die here!
- Forgive me, everyone... You must do what I
[cdb]could not.
- Though I withdraw for now, it would be a
[cdb]stain upon my noble name to surrender fully!
- Please handle things here for a short while.
- This situation calls for Ferdinand von Aegir!
- Ferdinand is your foe now, craven!
- I will not let this end with my suffering
[cdb]such disrespect!
- My time has come again!
- I still have...things I must do...but fear I must
[cdb]withdraw for now...
- Sharpen your minds and hone your blades—
[cdb]we ride for victory!
- So long as I stand upon the battlefield, I am
[cdb]at the ready.
- One must be hungry to survive in battle.
Do you not agree?
- There is little point in dying on a rescue
[cdb]mission, so I had best exercise caution.
- This moment calls for defense, and I will fight
[cdb]with my all to see it through!
- Though it vexes me, we have no choice but to
[cdb]withdraw. All troops, full retreat!
- We must claim victory this day! For our
[cdb]destiny, and for the future of Adrestia!
- Best keep your wits about you.
- Together, we will turn this disadvantage back
[cdb]in our favor!
- Utter whatever words you wish—we will be
[cdb]the ones to emerge victorious!
- We are enemies now, so I hope you do not
[cdb]expect me to stay my hand.
- This victory moves us closer to great things.
- The war may rage on, but let us delight in our
[cdb]victory this day!
- It appears luck was on my side.
- This victory will enable us to safeguard
[cdb]the future.
- So long as we have our lives, there is always
[cdb]another chance. I must press on.
- History will remember this great battle, just as
[cdb]it will remember the Empire's final victory!
- A crushing defeat... My strength was lacking.
- How vexing to see...the future slipping
[cdb]through my fingers...
- I must make use of this momentum.
- We are at a disadvantage here—I must fight
[cdb]with caution.
- We can advance now. Forward!
- The path is shut!
- Forward, march!
- My will is theirs!
- Let us face our foes as one!
- March on from here.
- It appears support is called for.
- Go provide aid!
- This place must be safeguarded.
- Worry not for me—I have brought this
[cdb]situation on myself!
- Might I ask your assistance?
- I require aid!
- Your cooperation would be most welcome.
- You there! I beg of you, help me!
- I will fight for the Empire, even if my own life
[cdb]must be wagered in the attempt!
- This is a blow indeed to our morale.
- There is not a question of "can"—only a
[cdb]matter of "will!"
- Leave this to me!
- You may continue to rely on me!
- Did you all see how marvelous I was?
- I can provide no excuse for this failure.
- To think I, of all people, would blunder so.
- This should clip our enemy's wings!
- This is hopeless...
- Let us begin!
- A rousing success!
- We have failed...
- I failed to anticipate this situation!
