A lot of people still disagree with our plan to attack
[cdb]the Empire.
I knew opinions would be split, but now I'm
[cdb]wondering if it's all right to move forward with it.
Optimistically say it'll be fine.
Encourage him to be confident.
Everything will pan out. Some people may have
[cdb]reservations now, but they'll come around when
[cdb]we win.

[cdb]we win.
Hah, that's true. Thanks, that makes me feel a lot
[cdb]better.
You put a lot of thought into this decision. You can be
[cdb]more confident in yourself.
You put a lot of thought into this decision. You can be
[cdb]more confident in yourself.
Hah, you're right. Thanks, that makes me feel a lot
[cdb]better.
It wouldn't do for me to be hesitant when I'm the one
[cdb]who suggested attacking in the first place.
Though I do not have the right to express my opinion
[cdb]about the attack, I am still apprehensive about it.
In the unlikely event that we lose, Gloucester
[cdb]territory will be the Empire's first target.
It is imperative we claim victory so that we do not
[cdb]needlessly drag more citizens into this war.
If I recall, Count Bergliez's son was in the Black Eagle
House back at the academy.
He was super energetic, but I can't remember his
[cdb]name for the life of me. What was it again?
Linhardt?
Caspar?
You mean Linhardt? I heard his dad was some kinda
[cdb]fancy lord.
You mean Linhardt? I heard his dad was some kinda
[cdb]fancy lord.
Don't be ridiculous. He's Count Hevring's son.
Was that him? I thought that was the sleepy guy.
He didn't seem like the son of a famous general at all.
Wasn't it Caspar? I heard his dad was some kind
[cdb]of lord.
Wasn't it Caspar? I heard his dad was some kind
[cdb]of lord.
Yes, that's it! Caspar! He was always picking fights.
Just what you'd expect from the son of a famous
[cdb]general.
I wonder if we'll have to face him, like we did with
Ferdinand.
House Ordelia no longer has any resources to
[cdb]contribute to the war effort.
Which means I need to fight even harder to make up
[cdb]for that.
Chide her for taking on too much.
Cheer her on.
You're already putting in a ton of effort. You don't
[cdb]need to take on any more.
You're already putting in a ton of effort. You don't
[cdb]need to take on any more.
Thanks. I suppose I let my worries get the better of
[cdb]me. I'll be sure to maintain my composure from
[cdb]now on.
That's the spirit! Don't stop until everyone in Fódlan
[cdb]knows your name. I've got your back.
That's the spirit! Don't stop until everyone in Fódlan
[cdb]knows your name. I've got your back.
I'm not trying to become famous, you know. I don't
[cdb]care who knows my name.
On the other side of the Great Bridge lies Gronder
Field, the breadbasket of Fódlan.
Much of the Imperial army's food supply probably
[cdb]comes from there.
So even if we were to seize control of it now,
[cdb]the Empire would lose no time in taking it back.
I trust Claude, of course, but I'd prefer to avoid
[cdb]getting mired in a back-and-forth like that.
Someone said we're attacking the Empire's food
[cdb]stores next.
Which means if we win, we can eat to our heart's
[cdb]content, right?
Spur him on.
Raise doubts.
Yep. So you better fight as hard as you can, Raphael.
Yep. So you better fight as hard as you can, Raphael.
You got it! Feast or foe, I'll show 'em who's boss!
Maybe if you're craving wheat, but I don't think
[cdb]there's gonna be any meat around.
Maybe if you're craving wheat, but I don't think
[cdb]there's gonna be any meat around.
Aw man, but meat's my favorite! You know,
I'd eat nothing but the stuff if I could.
We drove the Imperial army out of our territory, so is
[cdb]it really necessary to keep fighting?
Oh, I mean, it certainly seems like it could be
[cdb]beneficial for us in the future.
I just wonder if we had an opportunity to lay down
[cdb]our weapons. I'm sorry to bring it up...
The Empire started this war. I really want to catch
[cdb]them off guard and make them regret it.
Plus, we might run into Jeralt's Mercenaries again.
Agree that you might.
Ask why she cares.
Yeah, I think that's a real possibility. I'm hoping we
[cdb]see them again too.
Yeah, I think that's a real possibility. I'm hoping we
[cdb]see them again too.
Huh. Any particular reason? I mean, I've got one of
[cdb]my own, I guess.
What is it with you and that mercenary company?
You got a grudge against someone in it?
What is it with you and that mercenary company?
You got a grudge against someone in it?
Huh? No, nothing like that. And you're one to talk.
You're clearly interested in them too.
Look, let's just try to get through this in one piece.
I have always wanted to take on Count Bergliez.
No doubt you want the same, [HERO_MF],
[cdb]but could you leave him to me?
Let Holst fight him.
Don't forgo this opportunity.
He's all yours. I actually wanted to avoid him.
He's all yours. I actually wanted to avoid him.
I didn't expect to hear that from you. You know he's
[cdb]the strongest man in the Empire, right? Doesn't the
[cdb]mere thought get your blood pumping?
If he shows up in front of me, I'm gonna have to fight
[cdb]him. That's what they pay me for.
If he shows up in front of me, I'm gonna have to fight
[cdb]him. That's what they pay me for.
Oho, I see not even the strongest man in the Empire
[cdb]can make you flinch. I admire your pluck!
The Imperial army hasn't made any major moves yet.
But they're sure to notice what we're up to soon.
The question is whether they'll try to intercept us or
[cdb]fortify their defenses. What do you think?
They'll move to intercept.
They'll strengthen their defenses.
If Count Bergliez is as good as people say, then he'll
[cdb]try to intercept us.
If Count Bergliez is as good as people say, then he'll
[cdb]try to intercept us.
I agree. Which means we'll be fighting on the plains.
I guess normally they'd strengthen their defense and
[cdb]wait for reinforcements, right?
I guess normally they'd strengthen their defense and
[cdb]wait for reinforcements, right?
Maybe an average general would do that, but this is
Count Bergliez. We need to be prepared for battle at
[cdb]any moment.
They want to attack Bergliez territory? Have they lost
[cdb]their minds?
We're not going against Count Bergliez directly, are
[cdb]we? In the face of his strength, we'll crumble like a
[cdb]poorly-preserved manuscript.
Ugh... Now I'm miserable. All I want to do is curl up
[cdb]and go to sleep.
Well, look who it is! The big bad sellsword folks just
[cdb]can't stop talking about.
Heard the Alliance leader went and made you a
[cdb]general, yeah? Bet that put some coin in your pocket!
Tell him he's right.
Play it down.
Yeah, now. My purse has been bone dry these past
[cdb]two years though.
Yeah, now. My purse has been bone dry these past
[cdb]two years though.
So you were down on your luck too, huh? Guess we're
[cdb]not so different then.
Funny thing about money—the more you have,
[cdb]the more you seem to find yourself spending.
Funny thing about money—the more you have,
[cdb]the more you seem to find yourself spending.
So you don't have a rainy day fund either? Hah!
Guess we're not so different.
Now let's make sure we both get outta this mess in
[cdb]one piece so we can spend that coin, eh?
Why am I suddenly part of the Alliance army?!
I'm not supposed to be here! You can't force me to
[cdb]fight! No way, no how!
I'm not supposed to be here! You can't force me to
[cdb]fight! No way, no how!
Comfort her.
Persuade her to fight.
Yeah, you got the short end of the stick there. I guess
[cdb]they were impressed with your bow skills.

[cdb]they were impressed with your bow skills.
I never should've learned to wield that thing! Urgh,
[cdb]but I needed it to survive...
I never should've learned to wield that thing! Urgh,
[cdb]but I needed it to survive...
Why not fight to put an end to the war? Then you
[cdb]won't get dragged into battles anymore.
Why not fight to put an end to the war? Then you
[cdb]won't get dragged into battles anymore.
Wait? Would that work? Hmmm...
I've been tasked with guarding the Great Bridge of
Myrddin, so I won't be going with you to the Empire.
It's too bad, really. I wanted to give Count Bergliez a
[cdb]swift kick in the pants.
I'll have to settle for ensuring the enemy doesn't set
[cdb]foot in Leicester, even if you lose your battle.
So you can fight knowing I have your back.
Look after everyone for me, would you?
Hello there, friend! What are you looking for today?
I've got all you need to pull off a successful assault.
And don't worry about me running out. I can restock
[cdb]lickety-split. So feel free to buy every last thing!
I'm from House Albany. There may not be many of
[cdb]us, but we have soldiers from House Burgundy
[cdb]here as well.
The Alliance is invading the Empire for the first time
[cdb]in history. The nobles need to present a united front.
Though I don't even want to imagine how the
[cdb]roundtable meetings will go if this battle expands
Alliance territory.
I haven't crossed the Great Bridge of Myrddin since I
[cdb]was a student at the Officers Academy.
It was for the annual class contest called the
Battle of the Eagle and Lion, which was held
[cdb]in Gronder Field.
Speaking of which, the Golden Deer House came in
[cdb]dead last when I participated. It still hurts when I
[cdb]think about it.
We finally managed to kick out the Imperial army,
[cdb]but the war is still going.
And now we're up against Count Bergliez of all
[cdb]people. Do they honestly think we can beat him?
Maybe I can slip away when no one's looking...
Some people might be quaking in their boots right
[cdb]now, but not me. I'm practically vibrating with
[cdb]excitement.
The Imperial army killed my best friend. I won't rest
[cdb]until I pay them back a thousandfold.
What goes around comes around, you know what
I mean?
My previous employer bit the dust in the confusion
[cdb]of battle, so I was drifting without an anchor for a
[cdb]while there.
But I joined up with House Gloucester as soon as I
[cdb]heard they were looking for mercs.
What, you wanna know who I used to work for?
Acheron. Hoo boy, that guy was a real piece of work.
Have you heard about the Ashen Demon?
The toughest out of all of Jeralt's Mercenaries.
Apparently they're a great fighter, but never show
[cdb]a drop of emotion, even when snuffing the life out
[cdb]of people.
If I were you, I'd turn tail as quick as I could if I
[cdb]ever crossed them in battle.
Everyone's talking about how you're going to invade
Empire territory.
In fact, if I've gotten wind of your plans, the Imperial
[cdb]army probably figured it out ages ago, right?
Greetings, Commander! Nothing to report!
I want to get even with the Imperial army too,
[cdb]since they captured Garreg Mach.
But I'm charged with defending this gate, and I
[cdb]intend to carry out my duty to the fullest.
So I'm counting on you to get revenge for me!
"An eye for an eye" has been the prevailing thought
[cdb]for millennia.
But what do you think? Is revenge the best course of
[cdb]action?
Nod yes.
Hesitate.
Of course. People'll keep hurting you if you just lie
[cdb]down and take it.
Of course. People'll keep hurting you if you just lie
[cdb]down and take it.
And so wars never cease and history repeats itself.
That mentality's the reason we're constantly at war
[cdb]with each other. Honestly, I'm not sure what the right
[cdb]thing to do is.
That mentality's the reason we're constantly at war
[cdb]with each other. Honestly, I'm not sure what the right
[cdb]thing to do is.
If there were an easy answer, the world would already
[cdb]have found peace. Don't you think?
