- The Imperial army has fled south with the emperor in
[cdb]tow. They appear to be headed for Garreg Mach.
- The Imperial army has fled south to Garreg Mach,
[cdb]along with the emperor.
- And just as planned, the archbishop and her squadron
[cdb]are en route there as well.
- And as arranged, the archbishop and her squadron
[cdb]are on their way there as well.
- But we have also received word of suspicious
[cdb]behavior from the fugitive Duke Aegir.
- But we've also gotten reports of suspicious behavior
[cdb]by the fugitive Duke Aegir.
- Meaning what?
- Rather than retreat to the monastery, he remains
[cdb]roaming in the vicinity of this very battlefield.
- He isn't retreating to the monastery with the rest of
[cdb]the army, but staying here near the battlefield.
- Maybe he's looking for something?
- Or perhaps it is a trap, or a diversion of some kind.
We still do not know what our enemy is planning.
- It's hard to say—we still don't know what the enemy's
[cdb]after. It might even be a trap, or a diversion.
- But we do know that Count Bergliez has stationed
[cdb]units at various key points in the hopes of slowing
[cdb]us down.
- Reports say the Ashen Demon is among them as well.
- That fiend has already taken Rodrigue from us.
If we do not wish to suffer further losses, we cannot
[cdb]underestimate them.
- So they're back. I'll get them this time.
- So they're back. I'll get them this time.
- Well, now what? Duke Aegir might not be rushing to
[cdb]reach Garreg Mach...
- But we should be. We don't want to lose our
[cdb]advantage.
- Of course not, but if we charge in too hastily, we'll be
[cdb]swarmed by Bergliez and his soldiers.
- Hmm, maybe we could try and find a weak spot in
[cdb]their defenses and break through there?
- That would all be fine and well on regular terrain.
We don't really have the luxury of choosing our
[cdb]route here in the valley.
- What about the shortcut Lady Rhea used?
- We would have to break into smaller units to get our
[cdb]whole army through, but it might just work.
- It is too dangerous. Splitting up would just make us
[cdb]easier targets for whatever traps the enemy's laid.
- I fear I must agree. Such a plan could play straight
[cdb]into the Empire's hands.
- Attempting to traverse that route without the proper
[cdb]preparations would only result in needless loss.
- Hm.
- Hm.
- Looks like you need my guidance. Hear me out.
- With an army as big as ours, there's no point trying to
[cdb]get clever with it.
- Our only real concern is the possibility of getting
[cdb]surrounded. Therefore, what I propose is...
- We'll push our way through—strike everywhere all at
[cdb]once. Whatever traps Duke Aegir's got for us,
[cdb]we'll blow straight through 'em.

- This isn't a thinking person's fight, not now. We've
[cdb]got the stronger army, so let's start acting like it.

- I didn't realize we had two boars on our side.
Though I can't say I disagree.
- We have the numbers. It is a good plan.
- I hold no objections. Our combined might would
[cdb]overwhelm even the greatest ambush.
- Now...the Empire will learn what the legions of
Faerghus are capable of.
- Hey, Arval.
- Hey, Arval.
- Now that we've fought Myson again, I think I get it.
This power...it's the same one they have.
- Now that we've fought Myson again, I think I get it.
This power, it's...the same one they have.
- You felt it too, right? The guy he mentioned before,
Epimenides. He's...
- You felt it too, right? The guy he mentioned before,
Epimenides. He's...
- Me. At least, all signs point to that.
- Say, do you detest me? Detest the fact that I share
[cdb]their power?
- How could I? After all you've done for me, it doesn't
[cdb]matter who you are.
- How could I? After all you've done for me, it doesn't
[cdb]matter who you are.
- You'll always be my partner in destiny, Arval.
- You'll always be my partner in destiny, Arval.
- Whatever the truth is about us...
- Whatever the truth is about us...
- Ah, there you are. Would you care to assist me in
[cdb]questioning the commander we captured?
- It's said they have some vital information, and I will
[cdb]stop at nothing to know what it is.
- Is everything all right?
- Oh, yep! Sorry, I'll be right there!
- Oh, yep! Sorry, I'll be right there!
- I'm me, and you're you. Nothing's ever gonna
[cdb]change that.
- I'm me, and you're you. Nothing's ever gonna
[cdb]change that.
- And what if you lose control and have to be slain by
[cdb]the very friends you hold dear?
- We can cross that bridge when we come to it.
But if that's what they've gotta do, so be it.
- We can cross that bridge when we come to it.
But if that's what they've gotta do, so be it.
- Until then, I'm gonna keep doing everything I can to
[cdb]help. I'll defeat that demon...and protect my friends.
