  2. I know everyone's exhausted, but it all comes down to [cdb]this moment.
  3. Will we be able to subdue the Imperial army in our [cdb]borders before Count Bergliez makes a move on [cdb]the bridge?
  4. There's not a moment to lose. I'm counting on you, [cdb][HERO_MF].
  5. Reassure him.
  6. Tell him he needs to give it his all.
  7. I won't let you down. This is exactly what you hired [cdb]me for, and I'm gonna see this job through.
  8. I won't let you down. This is exactly what you hired [cdb]me for, and I'm gonna see this job through.
  9. Hah, just what I wanted to hear. I'm glad you're [cdb]with us.
  10. You need to step up too. One wrong command and [cdb]this whole plan goes sideways.
  11. You need to step up too. One wrong command and [cdb]this whole plan goes sideways.
  12. I know. I can't afford to slip up either. We're going to [cdb]win this.
  13. It is utterly disgraceful that I could not discern my [cdb]father's plot with Claude.
  14. That they carried on whilst keeping me in the dark [cdb]fills me with such a sense of emptiness.
  15. Comfort him.
  16. Encourage him.
  17. You weren't the only one. None of us knew. That's why they succeeded.
  18. You weren't the only one. None of us knew. That's why they succeeded.
  19. True as that may be, I cannot help but feel my father [cdb]has yet to recognize my capabilities.
  20. We haven't won yet. You still have a chance to show 'em what you can do.
  21. We haven't won yet. You still have a chance to show 'em what you can do.
  22. That is true. I shall be the one to guide the Alliance [cdb]to victory!
  23. Father is concerned for you, dear sister. Why not [cdb]leave the rest to me and run along home?
  24. Uh, no, I'm not ditching everyone just so I can [cdb]be safe.
  25. I never thought I'd hear you say such a thing! It [cdb]warms my heart to know you've found such good [cdb]comrades.
  26. Besides, I won't be in any danger if you're on the [cdb]battlefield too, right?
  27. That's right. No matter how many enemies descend [cdb]upon us, I won't let anyone lay a finger on you.
  28. Leave quietly.
  29. Compliment their close relationship.
  30. You there. You came to speak with my sister, didn't [cdb]you? Who are you? What is your relationship to her?
  31. Oh, well, I wouldn't say we have any particular kind [cdb]of relationship...
  32. Oh, well, I wouldn't say we have any particular kind [cdb]of relationship...
  33. Ugh, knock it off, Holst. How many times do I have [cdb]to tell you not to hassle people like that? It's embarrassing.
  34. You two are so close. I'm actually kinda jealous. I don't have any siblings, myself.
  35. You two are so close. I'm actually kinda jealous. I don't have any siblings, myself.
  36. Then allow me to become your surrogate older [cdb]brother. Though Hilda will always be my first [cdb]priority.
  37. Yeah, I wouldn't take him up on that offer. He's handy to have around, but he's also a huge pain.
  38. In any case, Hilda, remember not to take my presence [cdb]in battle as an invitation to be reckless.
  39. Yeah, yeah. Trust me, I'm pretty risk-averse.
  40. Claude and Count Gloucester planned what would [cdb]happen at the Great Bridge of Myrddin in advance.
  41. My father had little choice but to follow the [cdb]count's lead.
  42. House Ordelia has always been at the mercy of other [cdb]nobles or the Empire.
  43. I wonder when my father will be able to live [cdb]in peace...
  44. I'm so relieved House Gloucester rejoined the Alliance.
  45. If they'd stayed with the Empire, we would've had to [cdb]face Count Gloucester in battle...
  46. Sympathize.
  47. Express confusion.
  48. Yeah, I'm glad it didn't come to that. Though you [cdb]never know what'll happen in the future.
  49. Yeah, I'm glad it didn't come to that. Though you [cdb]never know what'll happen in the future.
  50. Please don't say such things. That's like asking for [cdb]something bad to happen.
  51. Are you really so fond of Count Gloucester?
  52. Are you really so fond of Count Gloucester?
  53. No, not personally. It just would've been terribly [cdb]hard on Lorenz.
  54. Oh, but it's not like I have no loyalty to him. That's not what I meant at all.
  55. We're gonna corner the enemy so they can't [cdb]escape, and then smash 'em.
  56. But they're gonna do whatever they can to get away. So it'll be a challenge to round them all up.
  57. I'm a big and burly type, you know? Dashing [cdb]around isn't my strong suit.
  58. Oh, but Lorenz's dad is gonna be roughing 'em up [cdb]too, right? That'll be a huge help.
  59. Claude's plan has given us a glimmer of hope.
  60. But the idea of annihilating the Imperial army [cdb]is just so...
  61. Sympathize.
  62. Encourage her.
  63. Yeah, I hear you. We know people on the other side. So it would be a hard victory to celebrate.
  64. Yeah, I hear you. We know people on the other side. So it would be a hard victory to celebrate.
  65. Yes, exactly. I hope we can convince them to [cdb]surrender.
  66. This must be really tough for someone as empathetic [cdb]as you. But we won't survive if we don't fight.
  67. This must be really tough for someone as empathetic [cdb]as you. But we won't survive if we don't fight.
  68. I'm not sure it's that simple.
  69. I've heard rumors the Imperial army recently hired [cdb]some famous mercenary companies.
  70. And apparently one of them's already in Leicester. We could end up facing them at some point.
  71. Ask if she knows anyone in those companies.
  72. Ask what companies they hired.
  73. So, do you know someone in those companies or [cdb]something?
  74. So, do you know someone in those companies or [cdb]something?
  75. Hard to say. I haven't found out which ones the Empire hired yet.
  76. Do you know which companies they hired?
  77. Do you know which companies they hired?
  78. You're curious too, yeah? Unfortunately I don't know [cdb]anything more than that.
  79. I wonder if it's... Nah, nevermind. Just talking to [cdb]myself. Forget it.
  80. I bet I know why Claude didn't tell us his plan.
  81. He didn't fully believe Count Gloucester would come [cdb]through.
  82. Though he probably had a backup scheme in case [cdb]that one failed.
  83. Don't you think?
  84. I just knew I would have to face Ferdinand.
  85. I heard you fought Ferdinand in Derdriu.
  86. To be perfectly honest, he is much more suited to [cdb]defense than offense, but I imagine he volunteered [cdb]himself to lead the army.
  87. Doubt that statement.
  88. Agree with him.
  89. You think so? That was one close fight. We would've [cdb]lost if Holst hadn't come to our rescue.
  90. You think so? That was one close fight. We would've [cdb]lost if Holst hadn't come to our rescue.
  91. I suppose that's true. I wonder if he really doesn't [cdb]have a Crest. Now I'm curious...
  92. Yeah, could be. His attacks felt desperate somehow.
  93. Yeah, could be. His attacks felt desperate somehow.
  94. That's not really a question of being unsuited to [cdb]offense, though. I think the emperor simply indulged [cdb]her friend's request.
  95. I had my reasons for working with the Empire, [cdb]but I'm originally from Leicester.
  96. I've got a half-brother here, not to mention friends [cdb]and some other people I'm indebted to. So I'm glad [cdb]things worked out this way.
  97. Ask why he was with the Empire.
  98. Ask about the people he knows here.
  99. You "had your reasons"? And what were those?
  100. You "had your reasons"? And what were those?
  101. They paid better than the Alliance. Heh, turns out I can be pretty cold-hearted when you wave a few [cdb]gold in my face.
  102. Are those people you know in this army?
  103. Are those people you know in this army?
  104. Yeah, Holst and I have been buddies since we were [cdb]kids. I'd rather not have to tangle with him.
  105. As for the people I'm indebted to... I've seen their [cdb]daughter around here, but not them.
  106. Anyway, I'm officially fighting for the Alliance now, [cdb]so I hope we'll have each other's backs.
  107. I'd been so curious to find out what the boy had been [cdb]plotting...
  108. But I never would've guessed he'd teamed up with Erwin. The two of them usually fight like cats [cdb]and dogs.
  109. Oh, Erwin is Count Gloucester. Little Lorenz's father.
  110. All things considered, they might be a good match for [cdb]each other. They both have a penchant for cooking [cdb]up cunning strategies.
  111. I'm open for business! This is a crucial moment for [cdb]the Alliance, right?
  112. Don't you worry, I'm not going to take advantage and [cdb]jack up my prices.
  113. Oh, and give my regards to the leader, OK?
  114. I'm from Baron Albrecht's household. They are a [cdb]minor noble family in the western part of Edmund [cdb]territory.
  115. Since they are so removed from the front lines, [cdb]the lady of the house is acting like the war doesn't [cdb]affect her.
  116. But this crisis has greatly pained the young baron.
  117. Incidentally, the mercenary that recently joined the [cdb]army is... Er, actually, nevermind.
  118. People have this terrible habit of treating the three [cdb]houses on the western edge of Leicester as if they [cdb]were the same.
  119. However, their internal affairs couldn't be more [cdb]different, largely because of their specific locations.
  120. House Burgundy must follow Count Gloucester in [cdb]everything they do.
  121. Whereas my house is not as beholden to him because [cdb]we border Daphnel territory.
  122. I vowed to get revenge on the Empire before the Alliance was crushed once and for all...
  123. But now we're in a position to completely turn the [cdb]tables! I can't believe it!
  124. Our leader is something else.
  125. The enemy army's general in our last battle was the [cdb]heir of the Empire's prime minister, Duke Aegir.
  126. Rumor has it that Duke Aegir lost his position after [cdb]clashing with the current emperor.
  127. Do you think the duke's heir was sent to the front [cdb]lines instead of being condemned with his father?
  128. Taking out the remaining Imperial troops in Leicester shouldn't be too tough.
  129. But if Count Bergliez launches an attack as well, [cdb]we might not be able to fend him off.
  130. People say he's killed a bear with nothing but his two [cdb]hands. That's how strong he is!
  131. So the tide has turned in our favor? Wonderful!
  132. Keep it up so we can continue trading safely, yeah?
  133. It's been some hundred years since Derdriu saw [cdb]battle.
  134. I never want to set eyes on the Imperial army again. Drive them out for good, would you?
  135. Greetings, Commander! Nothing to report!
  136. I'm actually from the Empire, and my family still lives [cdb]there. But please, don't hold back on my account.
  137. My father's a tradesman in town, so the war shouldn't [cdb]affect him.
  138. And my little brother's in the Imperial army, but I [cdb]doubt I'll ever have to fight him.
  139. After all, I won't be seeing much of the battlefield [cdb]since I've got to guard this gate.
  140. Ah, [HERO_MF]. Have you heard the news?
  141. We have a new facility where you can research battle [cdb]tactics.
  142. Studying is no substitute for real-life experience, [cdb]of course, but it should still prove useful. Take a look [cdb]when you have the chance.
  143. Here we research the latest and greatest tactics [cdb]ever to grace the field of battle.
  144. If our findings pique your interest, I would be [cdb]delighted to assist you. How about it?
  145. We're rethinking our strategy. Please wait until we're [cdb]ready to begin the attack.
  146. Tactics are essential to any victory. I should keep [cdb]them in mind as I prepare.
  147. Tactics are essential to any victory. I should keep [cdb]them in mind as I prepare.
  148. I'm glad my brother's joined us, but he needs to give [cdb]me more space.
  149. He just told me I should go home because he's too [cdb]worried about me.
  150. Ugh, I wish he wouldn't baby me so much!
  151. Circumstances dictate how people act. As such, I believe things are about to get much more difficult [cdb]for you.
  152. Though perhaps that will be a welcome change for a [cdb]mercenary of your caliber.
  153. You will undoubtedly face the Ashen Demon again. I do hope you'll emerge victorious this time.
