- Our objective is Garreg Mach, the headquarters of
[cdb]our enemy.
- I know you were a student there, if only for a
[cdb]short while.
- But even if you feel some reservations, I need you to
[cdb]face this with everything you have.
- Do a little chest-thumping.
- Give a sad look.
- I was barely there long enough for it to register!
Don't worry—I'll do what needs to be done.
- I was barely there long enough for it to register!
Don't worry—I'll do what needs to be done.
- A reassuring attitude. Let's hope this battle goes a
[cdb]long way toward settling a great many things.
- Hmm. You seem dejected. I wonder if you have
[cdb]memories of this place you'd rather keep whole.
- No, it's more like... Look, this is going to be a fierce
[cdb]battle, yeah?
- No, it's more like... Look, this is going to be a fierce
[cdb]battle, yeah?
- I'm just hoping we can pull it off without piling the
[cdb]corpses too high, is all.
- I'm just hoping we can pull it off without piling the
[cdb]corpses too high, is all.
- You're playing the role of the leader more than I
[cdb]anticipated. That's good.
- The battle has begun at last—our struggle to the
[cdb]death against the Central Church.
- I pray your work these past two years will prove
[cdb]helpful to our cause.
- First, we mean to conquer the territory of the
Alliance's Viscount Burgundy.
- He is a minor lord east of Garreg Mach who is
[cdb]strongly influenced by the church.
- Just between you and I, I have had my share of
[cdb]worries these past two years.
- As you know, my father found himself in his situation
[cdb]due to Edelgard.
- Ah, well. Things are what they are, and I will work
[cdb]tirelessly to achieve greatness.
- Tell him you'll do your best together.
- Stare at him in confusion.
- I'm looking to do the same, so let's do this
[cdb]thing together.
- I'm looking to do the same, so let's do this
[cdb]thing together.
- Yes, I feel you have a great deal of promise, so let us
[cdb]go forth as one!
- Not sure I follow.
- Not sure I follow.
- Oh? Well, it is nothing to worry about. No matter
[cdb]what may occur, such business is no more than my
[cdb]own personal situation.
- It's annoying when you don't report in once you've
[cdb]finished a task, Linhardt. Very annoying.
- Furthermore, I have any number of things I need
[cdb]from you whenever you're not busy...which is pretty
[cdb]much always.
- But I am busy—busy resting. Now please leave me be.
- But Her Majesty asked me to put you to work!
- Side with Monica.
- Side with Linhardt.
- Pretty sure I saw you sleeping the day away just a
[cdb]little while ago, Linhardt.
- Pretty sure I saw you sleeping the day away just a
[cdb]little while ago, Linhardt.
- Monica's right—it's time to pull your weight.
- Monica's right—it's time to pull your weight.
- See, Linhardt? Everyone's onto you!
- You two will never understand me...
- Actually, I think we should all take a page from
Linhardt's book and rest more.
- Actually, I think we should all take a page from
Linhardt's book and rest more.
- You? Edelgard? Hubert? You're all overworked.
- You? Edelgard? Hubert? You're all overworked.
- Exactly so! What an exceptionally smart thing to say.
- Fine, I see how it is.
- We're shorthanded at the moment.
- So if you're just wandering around, we can definitely
[cdb]find something for you to do.
- We all have to do our part to reduce Her Majesty's
[cdb]burdens in any way we can.
- I hope I see the archbishop's right-hand man Seteth
[cdb]or Thunder Catherine at Garreg Mach!
- They've got tons of other strong fighters too, and I
[cdb]can't wait to take 'em all on! How about you?
- Share in his bloodlust.
- Claim you're not interested.
- Oh, you know it! The more foes I take out, the bigger
[cdb]my name gets.
- Oh, you know it! The more foes I take out, the bigger
[cdb]my name gets.
- Yeah! Well, look sharp, because I'll be keeping score!
- Mercs are all about results. Pulling off the mission is
[cdb]the only thing that matters.
- Mercs are all about results. Pulling off the mission is
[cdb]the only thing that matters.
- Yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it. I mean,
[cdb]this one fight's not gonna decide the whole war, right?
- I've talked a lot with Edie, so I long imagined what it
[cdb]might be like when this day finally came...
- But now that it's here, I'm worried.
- Our target is Garreg Mach, which means we're likely
[cdb]to encounter a lot of people we know...
- Say that they were only acquaintances.
- Empathize with her plight.
- Yeah, but you weren't at Garreg Mach for very long,
[cdb]right? How well could you really know them?
- Yeah, but you weren't at Garreg Mach for very long,
[cdb]right? How well could you know them?
- Still, try not to worry about it. Fretting'll only
[cdb]make what's to come more difficult.
- Still, try not to worry about it. Fretting'll only
[cdb]make what's to come more difficult.
- Yes, I suppose there's no choice but to fight and leave
[cdb]my heart out of it.
- Yeah, it's hard to fight people you know. You sure you
[cdb]want to take part?
- Yeah, it's hard to fight people you know. You sure you
[cdb]want to take part?
- I came here to fight, and that's what I'm going to do.
- I have been having many duties in my last two years
[cdb]away from the Empire.
- But they are all finished now, which means I am able
[cdb]to take part in the fighting.
- I am believing that this battle will lead to peace
[cdb]and prospering for Brigid.
- Good to hear. I'll be counting on you, Petra.
- Good to hear. I'll be counting on you, Petra.
- What am I even doing here...
- I just wanted to stay cooped up in the manor,
[cdb]especially now that Father's gone...
- But then I was talking to Edelgard and boom! I got
[cdb]some stupid urge to fight, and here I am.
- Say she was guided by her heart.
- Try to comfort her.
- Hey, sometimes you have to follow your heart, right?
Just try not to die.
- Hey, sometimes you have to follow your heart, right?
Just try not to die.
- Ugh, Bernie! You and your stupid heart!
- Ugh, Bernie! You and your stupid heart!
- Yeah, sometimes your mouth agrees to something
[cdb]before your brain can weigh in. Just try to go out
[cdb]there and do the best you can, OK?
- Yeah, sometimes your mouth agrees to something
[cdb]before your brain can weigh in. Just try to go out
[cdb]there and do the best you can, OK?
- Ugh, Bernie! You and your stupid mouth!
- Ugh, Bernie! You and your stupid mouth!
- Welp, guess there's no choice now but to get out there
[cdb]and fight with everything I've got!
- Welp, guess there's no choice now but to get out there
[cdb]and fight with everything I've got!
- If you're ever injured, let me know and I'll see you
[cdb]healed up in no time.
- Oh, and I can take care of wounds of the heart as well
[cdb]as wounds of the body.
- Emotional injuries can be even worse than physical
[cdb]ones during times of war.
- Say you find that reassuring.
- Tell her that sounds a bit dodgy.
- It's reassuring to have you and your infirmary here.
This...is the infirmary, right?
- It's reassuring to have you and your infirmary here.
This...is the infirmary, right?
- It is. After the closure of the Officers Academy,
Edelgard got in touch and asked me to run it.
- Something about the way you're saying that feels a
[cdb]little dodgy, but it's good to have you around.
- Something about the way you're saying that feels a
[cdb]little dodgy, but it's good to have you around.
- Oh, you're going to love it. After the closure of the
Officers Academy, Edelgard got in touch and asked
[cdb]me to run this infirmary.
- And although it does put me in opposition to Garreg
Mach, I simply can't turn that woman down.
- I really should learn to say no sometime!
- You think it strange to see me here after two years.
- Well, I was once an Imperial commander.
- Express surprise.
- Say you had a feeling.
- Huh. Honestly, I figured you'd fight with Garreg
Mach, but I guess not.
- Huh. Honestly, I figured you'd fight with Garreg
Mach, but I guess not.
- I contract with the emperor.
- Yeah, I figured as much.
- Yeah, I figured as much.
- Sooo you've been fighting for the emperor all this
[cdb]time, just like you did at the battle in Enbarr, right?
- Sooo you've been fighting for the emperor all this
[cdb]time, just like you did at the battle in Enbarr, right?
- Yes.
- Hello, my friend! My my, it's been quite some time.
- Like Manuela, I was called here by Edelgard. But that
[cdb]said, I have been tasked with protecting the Great
Bridge of Myrddin along with Ladislava.
- As such, I won't be going to Garreg Mach, so I hope
[cdb]you can take care of things there.
- As such, I won't be going to Garreg Mach, so I hope
[cdb]you can take care of things there.
- I hope you're doing as well as I am this day.
- It seems you and I have both been appointed as
[cdb]generals during the last two years, hm?
- Well, let's each fight to our utmost so we do not
[cdb]dishonor Her Majesty.
- Greetings. You are [HERO_MF], yes?
I am Randolph von Bergliez.
- Though we are not related by blood, I am nonetheless
Caspar's uncle.
- I hear you know your way around a battlefield. I look
[cdb]forward to seeing what we can both do in service to
[cdb]our grand Empire!
- All right, that's taken care of. What's next...
- Oh, I'm sorry. Did you need something? As you can
[cdb]see, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
- See, my brother Randolph is also part of this army,
[cdb]so I have to do my job perfectly for his sake!
- As you know, we are already in Leicester Alliance
[cdb]territory.
- Lord Acheron Phlegethon, whose territory this is,
[cdb]is not a man known for his reliability.
- However, so long as Count Gloucester—who borders
[cdb]to the north—has announced his obedience to the
Empire, we should encounter no problems.
- Assuming we are not routed at Garreg Mach, that is.
- I was born to a noble family in the Kingdom, but I
[cdb]never could fit in with the teachings of Seiros.
- But when I was a mercenary in the Empire, the
Minister of the Imperial Household hired me on,
[cdb]and now I am the commander you see before you.
- Judging from the look on your face, you don't know
[cdb]who that is. Well, it's Lord Hubert!
- Apparently, this is the first time in 300 years that an
[cdb]army of this size has been mobilized in Fódlan.
- The Dagdan army attacked the Empire from without,
[cdb]and then the Almyrans attacked the Alliance...
- Quite a lot happened—not that I saw it, of course.
- Oh, this is a black day indeed—they put me right on
[cdb]the front lines!
- I just got married and had a kid! My little one
[cdb]doesn't even recognize my face yet!
- Actually, let's just pretend you didn't hear that.
It's bad luck to be talking about that stuff before we
[cdb]go off to war.
- Haha! You've always got the same cloudy look on
[cdb]your face, don't you?
- Well, what say we go blow off some steam at a tavern
[cdb]until we're up?
- Bet it would make it easier for everyone to soldier on
[cdb]if you did that.
- I've always thought of myself as a devout believer.
- So when I heard we were attacking Garreg Mach,
I couldn't help but be taken aback.
- But when I learned of the Central Church's
[cdb]corruption and how Her Majesty revived the
Southern Church to correct it?
- Well, let's just say I'm glad I was born in the Empire.
- Oho! If it isn't our esteemed general.
- If there is anything at all that you require, please do
[cdb]not hesitate to inform me.
- If we're to be traveling from one place to another
[cdb]from this point hence, I suspect our cooperation will
[cdb]be essential to the cause.
- Keep up the good work, Commander! Nothing to
[cdb]report today!
- Do you remember me? I used to guard the gate back
[cdb]at Garreg Mach.
- Sure, I remember you. But, uh...why are you here?
- Sure, I remember you. But, uh...why are you here?
- Well, I was actually born in the Empire! But I ran
[cdb]away from home and joined up with the church when
I was pretty young.
- Just the other day, I got a letter from my parents for
[cdb]the first time in years.
- They told me to hurry back to the Empire—
[cdb]and when I did, I found all of this!
- I tell you, fighting people from the church is going to
[cdb]be a hard pill to swallow.
- Still, I'm fortunate that I didn't end up separated
[cdb]from my family forever.
- Yeah...
- Yeah...

- Have you looked around the camp yet? Feel free to
[cdb]make use of the training grounds and the
[cdb]marketplace.
- I have made arrangements so that you can improve
[cdb]your weapons and prepare for battle.
- Here you can train your mind and body and gain
[cdb]proficiency in new classes.
- It never hurts to be prepared. I'm sure I'll be seeing
[cdb]you often.
- I've got plenty of goods that will surely come in
[cdb]handy! I look forward to doing business with you.
- May I have a word, [HERO_MF]?
- Truth be told, we don't have enough hands to help
[cdb]with the army's less urgent tasks.
- We're asking around for volunteers, but I would
[cdb]greatly appreciate it if you pitched in as well.
- I'm looking for volunteers to help around the camp.
- We all need to chip in to make life here as pleasant as
[cdb]possible.
- I see you've finished everything! Thanks so much!
- I bet you're tired after all that work. Why not take a
[cdb]break at the mess hall?
- In that case, allow me to accompany you. I am feeling
[cdb]rather peckish myself.
- You have been a mercenary for quite some time,
[cdb]correct? Do you have any particular preferences when
[cdb]it comes to army meals?
- Say you usually make your own food.
- Well, I usually make my own food, so...
- Well, I usually make my own food, so...
- How fascinating! I absolutely must try one of your
[cdb]culinary creations!
- We provide food for everyone in the army here.
- Feel free to bring in ingredients and make your
[cdb]own meals.
- I am astounded you cooked this extraordinary meal
[cdb]with those ingredients—and using such humble tools!
- It would be a lovely gesture if you cooked for the
[cdb]others as well.
- Exchanging gifts with trusted friends is quite
[cdb]wonderful, would you not agree?
- If I recall, you acquired some trinkets on the
[cdb]battlefield. Perhaps you could give them to someone
[cdb]as a gift?
- That's true. Maybe I should give something to
Edelgard?
- That's true. Maybe I should give something to
Edelgard?
- Hello, [HERO_MF]. Can I help you?
- Welp, that sure kept me busy. Maybe we should head
[cdb]out to the next battle soon?
- Welp, that sure kept me busy. Maybe we should head
[cdb]out to the next battle soon?
- Sorry, we're still figuring out our strategy. You should
[cdb]go and make sure you're fully prepared.
- Sorry, we're still getting things ready. You have some
[cdb]time to kill before we're open.
- Thank you so much for volunteering. I hope you'll do
[cdb]it again.
- I have another request for you, [HERO_MF].
- Do you recall gathering materials in the last battle?
We would like you to put them to good use.
- I believe they can serve to further expand our
[cdb]facilities in this camp.
- You can exchange materials to expand our
[cdb]facilities here.
- I hope to see you make many improvements so we're
[cdb]fully prepared for battle!
- People sure ask a lot of you. Just watching you is
[cdb]exhausting.
- Worry not, the army has ingredients you can use.
- We've got the bare necessities at least. Time to get
[cdb]to work.
- We've got the bare necessities at least. Time to get

- Expanding our facilities like that'll make sure we're
[cdb]ready for whatever the next battle throws at us.

- Welcome back, [HERO_MF]. Let me apprise
[cdb]you of our plans going forward.
- Take a look at this map.
- Our troops are preparing to advance from camp,
[cdb]which is located here.
- And our destination, Garreg Mach, is over here.
- Now, the intervening noble territories have ties to the
[cdb]church. They will most certainly try to stop us.
- We will have to rout these lands in succession as we
[cdb]make our way to Garreg Mach.
- We cannot let our guard down with any of our
[cdb]opponents. Be sure to prepare as thoroughly as
[cdb]possible.
- War is such a human enterprise.
- In that sense, we are very much the same as those on
[cdb]the other side.
- But we cannot coexist, so we are determined to kill
[cdb]each other. I suppose that's the nature of this beast.
- Go and visit the chore master when you want to
[cdb]volunteer.
- The facilities master can assist you if you wish to
[cdb]expand a facility.
- I'm responsible for doling out our marching orders.
Give me a shout if you want to deploy for battle.
- Welcome! Take a gander at all our wondrous weapons!
- 'Fraid I'm still setting up shop. Mind waiting a bit?
- You can survey the regions you've conquered to
[cdb]acquire materials for facility expansion.
- If you find yourself marching someplace new,
[cdb]make sure you do a survey once you've conquered it!
- Your tent is rather nice, isn't it? I suppose it pays to be
[cdb]a commander.
- You said it. Things're totally different here compared
[cdb]to all the small-time outfits I used to run with.
- You said it. Things're totally different here compared
[cdb]to all the small-time outfits I used to run with.
- Now I've got my own space where I can kick back and
[cdb]keep all my stuff in order.
- Now I've got my own space where I can kick back and
[cdb]keep all my stuff in order.
- This probably means they expect a lot from you.
More than your title implies, I would imagine.
- Yeesh, this camp is something else. Did you see how
[cdb]many merchants we've got?
- Yeesh, this camp is something else. Did you see how
[cdb]many merchants we've got?
- Are you finished sightseeing yet? I believe I heard
[cdb]your employer calling for you.
- The church has mobilized everyone they can to
[cdb]defend Garreg Mach.
- Even some of those folks from...Abyss, I think it's
[cdb]called? You know, the place under the monastery.
- I hear the church doesn't really care for them, but I
[cdb]suppose any port in a storm and all that.
- Still, if you see some of them on the battlefield,
[cdb]they might be worth recruiting.
- Speaking of, I have an old report on Abyss if you want
[cdb]to take a look. It's just over there.
